Chapter 54: Classic plot without being harassed by the guard
Chapter 54: Classic plot without being harassed by the guard
Times like eating and resting are often the easiest to be attacked by criminals, and Rhode knows this very well.
So during the meal and the sleepy time that followed, he became more vigilant.
Order the river crab to cruise carefully in the canal, and occasionally extend its tentacles to observe the situation on the shore more clearly.
In such a tense mood, the destination was reached.
The boatman uncle docked the boat: “The front is Kurokas. My boat does not have the authority to travel freely in the capital. Please go ashore here.”
”Thank you for your hard work.”
”Thank you.”
One thanked for the hard work, and the other thanked. The boatman watched Rhode put the suitcase on and helped Mira ashore.
The oars were propped up on the shore, and then they rowed hard, quickly moving away from the two dangerous people.
It was so exciting. These two people were carrying dangerous items that could destroy a small village!
When he came to book the boat yesterday, he thought the girl was beautiful, but today he didn’t dare to look at her more than once!
It’s great to be alive.
I must be cautious when I meet a Fairy Tail wizard in the future.
Rod looked at the boat that left quickly in confusion: “Will he not pick up a few passengers or transport some goods on the return trip? This feels like a loss.”
Mira adjusted her sun hat with one hand and pinched the small crystal ball in her bag with the other hand. She looked at Rod with a smile in her eyes: “Yes, why?”
…
Compared with Magnolia, Kurokas has more of the style of a big city.
The whole city is built on a relatively flat high ground, with thick walls built outside.
A river meanders in from the southwest entrance of the wall and directly reaches the inner city, which is the moat outside the palace wall.
Then it flowed out to the drainage outlet in the southeast corner, and rushed down along the high ground, forming a small waterfall.
Rhode and Mira came from the east of the city, just in time to see this waterfall wrapped in water vapor reflecting colorful light.
”It’s so beautiful.” Mira couldn’t help but stop to watch.
”Yeah, it’s a pity that it doesn’t match the city wall.” Rhode wanted to say that the water outlet was designed like a sewage outlet, but it felt too destructive to the atmosphere.
He sent the two river crabs on standby back to the Summoner’s Rift: “It’s not easy for the Swift Crab to get in. You have to wait until you enter the city to summon it again.”
Mira stopped Rhode’s idea of continuing high-intensity reconnaissance:
”It’s too conspicuous to summon wild monsters in the city. This is the capital. Don’t worry about the security problem. Just relax.”
”…Okay.” Rhode didn’t insist. He was now mainly worried that he would be intercepted at the city gate because of the pile of dangerous goods on him.
Facts have proved that he was overthinking.
The guards in charge of guarding the city gate simply asked about their identities and purpose.
After Rhode showed his coat of arms and Mira showed his invitation, they were immediately allowed to pass.
This rough “security check” made it hard for Rhode to believe that the public security here would be good.
But if you think about it carefully, the Kingdom of Fiore has been a neutral country for more than 160 years, and there has been no rebellion within the country. The royal power is very stable, and most of them don’t have much sense of crisis.
Flower beds can be seen everywhere on the streets of the capital, and the windows of the houses are also filled with flower pots. There are also carefully maintained small gardens at the door.
This place is called the Flower District for this reason. The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers everywhere-definitely a blessing for people with pollen allergies.
Of course, there may be a solution in the world of magic.
Rhodes carefully observed the surrounding environment: “What should we do next? Senior Mirajane?”
”Hehe, according to the senior’s experience, we should go to the hotel first.” Mira shook the invitation card that she had just used as a pass, “The magazine has helped to arrange it.” I don’t know if it was because Rhodes’ eyes were too fierce, but he didn’t encounter any troublemakers or people who approached him on the way.
Kurokas Garden Hotel, one of the best hotels in the capital.
This is where the Soshara Magazine held the celebration this time, and it is also where Mira and Rhodes will settle down.
Rhodes looked at the exquisite fountains and tall buildings, the scale of which was almost catching up with the landmark cathedral in Magnolia.
”So grand, is the magazine so rich?”
Mira said: “Of course, after all, Soshara is the most popular magazine in recent years.”
The twoThe two entered the hall side by side, and the service staff warmly welcomed them.
A handsome male waiter led the way for the two and politely offered to help with the luggage.
Rod politely refused, fearing that if this guy didn’t pay attention, the hotel would be gone.
”This is your room. Please keep your key. If you encounter any problems during your stay, please let me know. I wish you a pleasant stay.”
The waiter gently opened the door, handed the key to Mira, and said goodbye politely.
Rod blinked: “One room?”
”Ah, the magazine didn’t know that I was going to bring my companions here, so they only prepared one room. What should I do?”
Mira showed an embarrassed expression, put one hand on her collar, and her voice became pitiful. ”Rod won’t take the opportunity to do anything excessive, right? For example… a night raid or something.”
Black-bellied, drama queen.
Luo·Gentleman·De, decisively put down Mira’s suitcase: “I’ll go get another one.”
”Just kidding, it’s a suite, one room per person.”
”Yeah, I’m kidding too, this hotel is obviously not something I can afford now.”
Mira sighed with a smile: “It’s all Kana’s fault, Rhode is not as interesting as before.”
”How much do you want to see people embarrassed.” Rhode said, “So I should thank Kana?”
To be honest, Kana really doesn’t treat brothers as outsiders, especially after drinking, she doesn’t take it seriously at all.
At first, Rhode was not used to it, but later they became brothers.
Shy? Unless her head is directly hugged in her arms–not counting those wearing armor.
”Rhode? What are you doing?”
Mira put the suitcase in the room she chose, and when she came out, she saw Rhode looking around in the bathroom, kitchen, and reception room.
Rhode said, “Check if there are any magic crystals for surveillance. There might be some perverted reporters who want to get your first-hand information.”
”Well…” It’s really possible. Mira found that Rhode’s awareness as a guard was really super qualified.
The two checked carefully and found nothing abnormal.
Mira asked, “The celebration will not start until the evening. Do you want to rest first?”
Rhode glanced at the bag on Mira’s waist and the sun hat in her hand. It was obvious that she wanted to go out.
He moved his arms: “I’ve been sitting on the boat all the way. I want to move around a little. What about you?”
Mira smiled: “It’s rare to come to the capital. I want to go for a walk. Do you want to come with me?”
Rhode said, “Of course, I’m a guard. I’ll follow the client’s arrangements.”
