Chapter 53 Tarot Cards, Chariot
Chapter 53 Tarot Cards, Chariot
Mira held two magic crystals in her hands and a magic book on her lap. She looked at the things in Rhodes’ bag and said helplessly:
”Rhodes, the things you prepared are enough to blow up a small village… We are just going to participate in the celebration.”
”When I borrowed these things, the president said the same thing.” Rhodes thought for a while and said, “I just feel safer this way. I wanted to ask the president to help draw a few defensive magic circles on my body, but he said there was no such thing, so he kicked me out of the warehouse, alas…”
”Well, well… I think I can understand the president’s feelings.”
Mira wanted to return everything in her hand, but after thinking about it, she decided He took a small magic crystal and put it in his bag.
“Thank you for your careful preparation. This is the safest time I have ever gone out recently.”
Rhode accepted the crystal ball Mira handed back with regret: “I had no choice… When I become as strong as Natsu and Erza, I won’t need these things.”
“Wait a minute, you didn’t make any other preparations, did you?”
“Nothing special, just two swift crabs.” Rhode lowered his voice and leaned close to her ear.
“One is exploring the way ahead, and the other is hiding at the bottom of the boat. If anything happens, I will immediately carry you and jump off the boat and run away.”
“Thank you… Thank you?” Mira was a little worried about what would happen if Rhode really took on the escort mission in the future.
If they were attacked at that time… Mira looked at Rhode’s backpack. Well, I hope the criminals are fine.
“Oh, in addition to the material aspects, there are also some metaphysical preparations.”
“…” Mira kept smiling and listened to him quietly.
“Because everyone says Kana’s divination is very accurate, so I asked her to do a divination yesterday.” Rhode was not superstitious before, except when he was playing games and drawing cards.
But now he is in a magical world, and magic such as prophecy and divination also exists – anyway, it’s free, so believe it a little.
Speaking of Kana’s divination, Mira was still a little interested: “What was the result?”
”It’s the “Chariot”, the king’s chariot that overcomes obstacles and wins.” Rhode said, ”Kana said that the chariot represents ‘never give up’, and success is achieved through hard work to overcome difficulties. If you are asking about travel, then the fortune is very good.
If you are asking about work, then you will be more confident with your confidence and rationality. ”
”Isn’t that great?” Mira said, “Since the fortune is very good, why do you need to prepare so many… self-defense weapons?”
”Because you need to overcome obstacles and be rational to succeed.” Rhode pointed to his backpack, “Am I rational enough? “Too rational.” Mira sighed softly, “Now as a ‘client’, I am very confident that your mission will be successful.” “That’s good, I will be a little more vigilant. “Rod connected the vision of the two river crabs, and a ‘split screen’ appeared in his mind.
He carefully observed all the passing ships nearby and every pedestrian on the shore.
Mira looked at Rhode’s state and remembered the president’s instructions. The purpose of going out this time was to let Rhode relax a little, but…
It’s okay to bring some consumable magic items for self-defense, but would anyone use magic reconnaissance all the time when traveling? He even thought of fortune-telling in advance!
However, in fact, this is also very good.
If I could be half as cautious as Rhode at that time, Lisanna might not…
Compared to the powerful but conceited and reckless self at the beginning, maybe it would be safer to team up with Rhode?
Lisanna’s face appeared in her mind, and Mira hugged her arms. It’s all my fault…
”Mira, Mira?”
Mira was awakened by Rhode’s voice: “… Sorry, I was distracted. Did you find anything?”
”There are no suspicious people. Is it cold in the cabin? “Rod watched Mira hug her arms and pulled out a coat from her bag, “Fortunately, I have prepared this as well.”
That was the only coat that Rod had. In fact, if Rod wanted, he could stuff all his clothes into his bag. There were not many anyway. ”Thank you.” Mira did not refuse and put the coat in front of her. The smell of the sun made her feel warm.
Feeling the care from your companions in sadness is the best comfort.
”Before noon, the shipThe cabin might be a little humid. Do you want me to light a fire for you? ”
Rod’s fingers passed through the air, and each letter had a big magic word “FIRE” formed, and then shrank to the size of a fist and turned into a burning flame.
Mira laughed out loud at the contrast. This was the first time that Rod showed her three-dimensional text magic, and she didn’t expect to learn it like this.
The boatman behind finally couldn’t stand it anymore: “Don’t play with fire in the awning!”
What’s wrong with this person? Not only did he bring a large bag of explosives, but he also played with fire in the cabin? Are you really not afraid of detonation?
”Sorry, sorry! “Rod waved his hand to make the flame disappear.
…
The boat went down the river, and the sun gradually rose. Even with the awning blocking the sun, the air gradually became hot.
That’s why we took the boat instead of the river crab.
It will take some time to reach the Flower City. Mira opened her suitcase and took out a food box: ”I made some simple sandwiches this morning. If you don’t mind, let’s eat together. Although the taste is not as good as Mr. Cook’s.”
”You can cook…”
This is also natural. Rod remembered that Mira bought ingredients for Mr. Cook last time. It’s probably not that Mr. Cook lowered his standards, but Mira is really good at these.
”Don’t look at me like this. I took care of Elfman by myself.” Mira picked up a sandwich and handed it to Rod, “But in fact, Elfman is also good at cooking. ”
Rod took the sandwich. Actually, he brought a few loaves of bread, but…
At this time, even a fool would know how to choose. He turned around and threw the bread to Worm to eat.
”Elfman, do you know how to cook?”
Rod tried to imagine what Elfman looked like wearing an apron… He couldn’t imagine it at all.
”Is it so unbelievable?” Mira smiled, “Didn’t I say that Elfman is a very gentle child?”
Although she said so, Rod thought it was the sister protecting her brother’s image.
He smiled awkwardly and took a bite of the sandwich: “Huh?”
”What’s wrong? Does it taste bad?” Mira checked the food box, “The preservation magic should not have failed.”
”Let’s not talk about the preservation magic first. This taste is a bit familiar.” Rod tasted it carefully, “It’s delicious, different from what I usually eat in the guild. ”
Mira smiled and said, “As long as you like it, I thought you were used to Mr. Cook’s cooking and would not like my cooking.”
So that’s it! It turned out that the sandwich that day was also made by her.
Rod recalled the day when he just woke up, the tip of his tongue also tasted the same, and the smile in front of his eyes was the same.
He took another big bite, chewed quickly, and complained to himself in his heart: What a cliché love drama plot!
