Chapter 43: Volian’s distress signal
Chapter 43: Volian’s distress signal
The news that Erza was working as a waitress in the dessert shop spread like wildfire in the guild.
This explosive news directly led to a sharp drop in the number of customers in the tavern.
Most of the boys who often hang out in the guild chose to join in the fun, wanting to see what Erza, a waitress, looks like.
Most of the girls… too.
The person who spread this news… excludes Rhode first.
“You did it again, didn’t you?”
”I only told Marcus.”
”…That means I told the whole guild.”
”I didn’t expect everyone to be looking forward to Erza’s service.” Mira laughed, “Doesn’t Rhode want to experience it?”
”Forgive me.” Rhode said, “When she was a nurse, she almost strangled me with a bandage. When she was a waiter…
Will she smash the customer’s head with a tray? Or step on the customer?”
Mira waved her hand: “No matter what, it won’t be that exaggerated.”
”I hope the person is fine.” Rhode prayed for his companions for a second, and went to practice by himself while there were few people and less things to do.
In the corner of the guild’s backyard, there were several dummies and wooden stakes, and a rack was built to hang sandbags for practicing punches and kicks.
All the parts involving wood were provided by Laqi’s wood modeling magic.
The reward was a simple diagram of the ‘Blood Dropper’ drawn by Rhode.
This thing should be considered a weapon or hidden weapon in martial arts novels, but because its hideous shape is too much like a torture device, Lucky likes it.
I heard that she had asked someone to modify the design in detail and was ready to start manufacturing.
Most of the time, Rhode used the training equipment, but other companions were occasionally infected by Rhode’s diligence and went to practice when they had time.
Especially Jet, Troy and others who had been defeated.
Originally, Rhode asked Lucky to make two wooden piles, but Natsu saw that Rhode was having fun with the crackling and insisted on giving it a try.
Then only the pile was left of the wooden pile.
It doesn’t matter if it’s broken, but you can just hit it at will.
The sound of thumping rang out from the backyard, and Rhode became more and more adept at the combination of magic and fists and feet.
…
“Answer my call, Crimson Razorback!”
The crimson magic circle flashed by, and six strange birds, one large and five small, appeared in the guild’s backyard.
“Chirp~” The largest bird raised its head and made a hoarse cry.
Crimson Razorback and Razorback are commonly known as Six Birds, F6, etc.
They are not powerful wild monsters in the game, but when mapped to reality, their sharp beaks have excellent penetrating ability.
In addition, they also have a long-range attack method – shooting feathers like flying knives.
Small ones can only be shot one by one, and large ones can be shot in piles.
And it won’t take too long for the feathers to grow out after they are shot. Rhode understood it as a skill CD, and gave this move the name of flying feathers all over the sky.
If there is a disadvantage, it is that they can’t fly high. The wings of the Razorbacks are a little small, and their flying ability is probably better than that of pheasants.
The good news is that the big one can carry Rhodes to glide or fly at low altitude. In addition, thanks to their strong legs, they can run well.
”Success!” Rhodes clenched his fists, feeling happy.
Not because he got six birds, but because the chant was shortened successfully.
The long chant was shortened to only half a sentence plus a name, which was enough to deal with emergencies. I believe that after a while, Rhodes can achieve the level he pursues, which is to be able to successfully activate it by just calling a name.
He felt the magic power consumption of summoning six birds, which was about three more river crabs, which was okay.
Rhodes commanded the razor beaks to do some simple actions, and summoned three wolves, trying to make them cooperate with each other and interweave and rush.
Then he summoned the stone beetles to try to form an offensive and defensive formation.
After practicing for a while, Rhodes returned to the tavern after consuming magic power to the extent that it did not affect normal actions.
The incident of watching Erza a week ago has passed safely, fortunately without any casualties.
However, the news that the dark guild Scorpion Tail was wiped out was published in Wizard Weekly.
The Council was very modest and openly admitted that it was Erza’s credit alone, and had no intention of stealing the credit.
Although Erza’s unauthorizedAlthough he was slightly dissatisfied with her actions, he still praised her abilities.
”As expected of Erza.” This was the evaluation of most of his companions.
”That guy is getting stronger and stronger.” This was Gray’s feeling, and he even took the initiative to check whether he was wearing clothes.
”Isn’t the Scorpion Tail… a regular guild?” Nabu’s question made the surrounding area quiet.
It seems to be true, Erza has taken action against a regular guild? No, no, this matter involves the Council, it’s impossible.
Marcus was very happy to explain to everyone: “The Scorpion Tail was only recently listed as a dark guild.
Because in order to make money, they secretly helped some big businessmen to suppress their competitors by kidnapping and coercion, and it was only exposed some time ago.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were immediately lifted up again.
”Help!”
Everyone in the guild, including Rhodes, heard such a voice.
“How terrifying! Someone come to save me!”
The same voice sounded again.
Rod suddenly realized that the voice did not come from outside, but directly from his mind.
Without waiting for him to ask, Mira said seriously: “Wolian, this is Volian’s ‘telepathy’ magic, which can directly transmit what you want to say to others through the air.”
Rod was not familiar with Volian, and only remembered that the man had a strange side bangs and liked to be alone.
Others have also ‘heard’: “It’s Volian’s voice!”
”He is asking for help! Is he in danger?”
”But didn’t he go on a date with his girlfriend today?” This was the information Marcus learned when he talked to Volian yesterday.
”Where are you? Volian!” Gray stood up and shouted to try to talk to Volian.
Others shouted or asked about Volian’s location in their hearts, but no one responded.
Volian just kept repeating words like “terrible”, “horrible”, and “help”.
Loki pushed open the door of the guild from the outside with a bang, ran in and asked: ”Does anyone know what happened? Now everyone on the street has heard Volian’s cry for help! It’s going to cause panic!”
”It’s an indiscriminate cry for help!” Erza couldn’t sit still, “Now that the president is not here, I will take charge temporarily! Everyone prepare to fight!”
Erza quickly assigned tasks, some people set out immediately to maintain order and protect residents; some people were responsible for searching for Volian’s location and preparing to rescue.
Generally speaking, when a wizard is out, all actions and risks brought by the actions should be taken by himself.
If others help without permission, it may be regarded as looking down on others and hurting their self-esteem.
However, if he himself asks for help because of a crisis, then as a companion, he will rescue him at all costs.
At least Fairy Tail does this.
