Chapter 21 A good start is a good start
Chapter 21 A good start is a good start
The tavern was as lively as usual, and Erza’s deterrence decreased significantly as she stayed in the guild longer.
Although she would still stand up and preach when things went too far, but… the scar healed and the pain was forgotten.
There would always be people who would get drunk while chatting, and fight while making a fuss.
This forced Rhode to practice dodging various flying objects sometimes.
After getting through the morning work hours, Rhode left Worm behind and ran to the library. He wanted to read some books about magic with Feng Yong’s glasses.
As for history and geography… put it aside for now, and occasionally ask Leibi to listen to stories.
The pages of the book turned quickly, and the words and sentences on it were reflected on the lenses page by page. Rhode could actually see every sentence clearly.
Rhodes only took about 20 minutes to finish reading an encyclopedia of more than 700 pages.
Rhodes already had a superficial understanding of many magics in his mind. Although it did not have the effect of making people remember everything, it was equivalent to reading it carefully.
This kind of prop is really useful for people who do not need to read intensively and like to read.
For those who do not need to read intensively and just want to broaden their knowledge, it is a complete artifact.
The reading speed of 32 times is really too exaggerated. Rhodes suspected that Feng Yong’s glasses used time-related magic.
The inventor is simply a genius.
Putting the encyclopedia back to its original place, Rhodes sat down and closed his eyes to meditate, letting his brain rest a little.
After a while, he found books related to ancient magic and space magic and read them until noon when he went to work.
“You are Rod, right? My name is Marcus, and I use sand magic.”
A boy with split hair ordered a glass of wine and sat at the bar to talk to Rod, “I’ve heard of your legend, you’re amazing.”
Rod was stunned: “What legend do I have?”
Mira smiled and poured Marcus a glass of wine, listening with the same curiosity.
She was such a gossipy person, she didn’t know what amazing legends Rhodes had.
”That’s the one, before he joined the guild, he easily solved the beast tide and destroyed a large forest!”
Marcus waved his hand, “You are worthy of being our Fairy Tail wizard, you really fit in here!”
Rod wanted to clarify the outrageous legend, but Marcus didn’t give him a chance.
He asked: “Hey, what kind of magic did you use? It must be very powerful, right?”
”Not very powerful, I used…”
”Is it fire magic like Natsu? If we talk about destructive power, it must be fire, right?”
”No, it’s…”
”That’s earth magic. It’s definitely very destructive when used in the forest. I heard that Jura, one of the ten great saint wizards, uses earth magic. In addition…”
Rod tried to interrupt several times, but found that this person didn’t give him any air at all, just like a barbershop lady he met who was trying to get people to apply for cards on the street.
“Marcus is the host of various activities in the guild. He usually likes to talk to people. And after drinking, he will be a little…”
Mira whispered to Rhode to introduce Marcus. She considered the wording and continued, “…He will be a little talkative. It is difficult to interrupt him. Just listen to him quietly.”
”…Okay.” Rhode nodded. Compared with Laqi who likes to collect torture instruments, Marcus, who talks a lot after drinking, is a very normal person.
Mira reminded: “If you don’t want to listen, you can leave directly. In the guild, as long as you hate something, you can express it directly. You don’t need to be wronged for politeness or something like that.”
”It’s okay. I’m a little curious about who spread the rumor that I destroyed a forest.”
Rhode was a little unhappy. He was obviously attacked by a beast, so how could he suddenly become a destroyer?
”Yes… Yes, who would make up such a rumor?” Mira’s expression was a little unnatural.
Of course, she was not the one who spread the rumor. She just told her companions the truth about Rhode’s origin.
What about the beast tide and the destruction of the forest? These are all real things. But for some reason, the rumor became that Rhode easily defeated the beasts and destroyed the forest.
Mira is not sure if she is the culprit.
Marcus talked for almost five minutes before stopping to drink a beer to moisten his throat.
Just as Rhode was about to ask a question, aThe bottle flew over and hit Marcus on the back of his head.
”Puff~~~~” Marcus sprayed out half a cup of beer in one breath, “Who is it!” This kind of question hardly needs an answer.
Marcus turned around and saw the conspicuous battle group in the tavern, and joined in without saying a word.
Rod dodged very quickly and was not sprayed by the wine.
Mira skillfully took out a rag to wipe the counter clean, and then watched her companions fighting with a smile.
The fight continued until someone knocked over Erza’s plate.
The air fell into a brief silence, and Natsu and Gray tiptoed to slip away.
”Give me… stop it!” Erza stood up with a smudge, and her fists in gauntlets fell equally on the heads of every participant.
Several people, including Natsu, Gray and Marcus, fell to the ground with their heads covered.
Erza clenched her fists: “Okay, since you want to fight so much, then I will fight with you until one of you can’t stand up!”
”Love!” The blue cat Habby stood on the table and raised his hands, gloating, “They can’t stand up anymore!”
”Hehe…” Mira laughed happily, “Sure enough, it’s like this again.”
The word “again” is well used, and Rhodes has a full understanding of this guild.
”Here.” Mira brought out a pudding, “Send this to Erza at the right time.”
Rhodes was puzzled: “When the right time?”
Mira pointed at Erza and smiled without saying anything.
Erza, who was so majestic just now, suddenly trembled, and staggered back to her seat as if she had lost her soul.
She didn’t sit down, but squatted down, picked up a pile of broken porcelain and smashed desserts from the ground: “My… strawberry pudding…”
The domineering fairy queen was helpless like a little girl at this time.
”Ah, Erza is so cute like this.” Mira held her face and enjoyed the strange fun.
”…”Now should be the ‘right time’, right? Rhodes walked towards Erza hesitantly.
”You guys…” The air pressure around Erza became low, and she turned her head and stared fiercely at the culprits lying on the ground.
Everyone couldn’t help but shudder.
”Miss Erza?”
Rhodes shouted, and deliberately added a respectful title.
”Hmm?”
Erza turned her head suddenly, with a shadow on her face, and one eye seemed to flash red, like a beast about to get angry.
Rhode’s heart palpitated at her amazing spirit, as if she had stared him into a low-pressure area.
”You, your pudding seems to be strawberry flavored as well.” Rhode said this reluctantly.
”…” The amazing spirit lasted for another second.
Then the queen turned into a big sister next door. She stood up, fixed her hair, and smiled gently: “Thank you very much.”
Eluza even clenched her fist and began to self-examine, saying sadly: “Really, I almost got angry for a pudding. My practice is not enough.”
The harpy grew wings on its back and flew to Rhode’s ear without any hesitation, complaining: “Obviously I got angry.”
”…” Rhode said nothing and looked at it with admiration.
Kitten, you are really brave, can’t you give her some face?
Erza said seriously, “Aren’t you Rod? You care about your companions so much after just joining the guild. I am very touched.”
She really showed a touching expression on her face, and hugged Rod’s head into her arms: “That’s right, Fairy Tail should be like this!”
Bang! Rod’s head hit the hard metal armor, making a crisp sound, and his head was buzzing.
He glanced at Mira who gave him a thumbs up at the counter…
Is this also in your plan, Miss Mira? (End of this chapter)
