114. Chapter 114 Me? Investigate the Dark Guild?
Chapter 114 Me? Investigate the Dark Guild?
Rod first took a look at the general content of the task:
Investigation Task: Naked Bandage Man;
Reward: 240,000 J;
Recently, the Zat brothers of the Dark Guild ‘Naked Bandage Man’ have been seen frequently in the southern mountains. Investigate their whereabouts and purpose.
The client is the Forced Restraint Force under the Fiore Branch of the Council.
It was actually a task from the Council! Let’s not complain about the crappy name of this crappy guild. Rhode’s point is: “Dark Guild? Let me go? President, have I made you angry recently?”
Makarov said: “First of all, this is just an investigation, not a crusade. Secondly, it’s just two people from the Dark Guild, not the entire guild.”
Rhode muttered: “Last time, Natsu also took a mission to investigate monsters, but it turned into a crusade in the end?”
Makarov said helplessly: “That’s why I let you go this time. It’s an investigation, not a crusade. You just happen to have the right magic.”
“…” Rhode was silent. Do I look that reliable? The right magic that the president said should be the Canyon Swift Crab.
So the correct way to execute the investigation mission is to hide in the Cat Inn as a guest for a few days, and then let the two river crabs run all over the mountain?
Makarov said, “And the mission is just a side job. I hope you can escort Wendy back.
With such a long distance and the Dark Guild active, it’s not safe for her and Xia Lulu. You seem to care about Wendy too, right?”
All this was seen.
He cares about her. After all, Wendy is the weakest one among the people Rhode has “recognized” now.
And such a cute, sensible little girl always makes people want to take care of her.
But the premise is that it must be within one’s ability.
Rhode thought for a while and asked, “President, can I form a team?”
Makarov nodded, “Sure, who do you want to find?”
”Eluza.”
”Eluza has other missions.”
”Then Mistgang and Laxus are also fine.”
Although he wanted to beat them up, Rhode felt that he could put aside personal grudges in the face of a powerful enemy.
Makarov almost fell off the counter: “If Mira is still S-rank, are you going to find Mira too!”
Rod shook his head: “No, how can you drag Mira into such a dangerous mission.”
Oh, Mira can’t be in danger, so others deserve it?
No, he was almost led astray by this kid. Makarov said angrily: “I just asked you to investigate quietly. As long as you are careful, there is no danger!”
Isn’t that what you are best at?
Rod said that, not because he thought others deserved it or something, but mainly because he was worried that it would be a bit ugly to be protected by Mira behind him.
Originally, investigating a small dark guild and teaming up with an S-rank team is stable.
Makarov named a few names: “Kana, Gray, Natsu, you choose one.”
”Then can I…”
Makarov looked at him and said nothing.
“Okay, I choose Gray.”
Natsu’s sequelae have not yet recovered, and Cana is an all-around wizard, which is not very compatible with Rhode.
Gray is pretty good, and the name of the guild, Naked Bandage Man, is quite suitable for Gray.
Although there are no bandages, he can be a naked man.
“Then it’s settled.” Makarov shouted to the tavern, “Gray!”
Laki patted Gray’s shoulder: “The president is calling you.”
“Huh?”
Gray and Lucky came together, Lucky was busy with her own things, and Gray listened to the president talking about the mission.
“Team up to complete the commission? Sure.” Gray didn’t talk as much nonsense as Rhode, “When do we leave?”
Rhode said: “Let’s meet at the station tomorrow morning. What time does the train to Hargeon leave?”
Mira said: “The earliest one is 7:30, Wendy and the others are on this train.”
Gray nodded: “Okay, then let’s meet at the station entrance in advance.” Laqikuku on the side laughed out loud, Rhode is such a person…
When I went to the capital with Sister Mira, I agreed to meet at the guild instead of at the ferry.
When I went out with Gray, I agreed to meet at the station directly.
Kukukku…
Gray read the information roughly and left, while Rhode was still studying it carefully.
The naked bandaged man is a bigDark guild, the guild’s location is uncertain.
Someone confirmed that their people appeared in Oshibana, Gunuki, Onibas and other places.
But these are cities along the railway, and nothing can be judged.
You don’t need an ID card to buy a train ticket here, and there is no decent security check. Whether you are an ordinary person or a terrorist, you can take the train if you want.
”By the way, President, we are going to such a far place, should we bring a communication magic crystal? It will be convenient to contact the guild.”
”…” Makarov sighed, “If you can do it, just bring it.”
Mira smiled secretly: “I’ll take you to get it.”
Rod followed Mira to the guild warehouse.
Mira pointed to the three communication magic crystals on the ground and said with a smile: “These are spare ones, just pick them.”
”…No, there are no smaller ones?”
Rod stretched out his hand and gestured. This magic crystal plus the base was taller than the old man.
And it’s so heavy that you probably have to check it in if you want to take it on the plane.
Mira smiled and said, “This is already the smallest batch. I heard that the smaller ones are still under development. How about it? Do you want to take it?”
”…” Rhode was silent. He grabbed two exploding magic crystals from the shelf and stuffed them into his pocket, and took two magic books into his arms.
”I saw it.”
”Mira~” Rhode looked at her pitifully. He should have brought Worm with him to help him act cute.
Mira covered her mouth and smiled, “Okay, I approve.”
”Thank you!” It was a pity that he couldn’t hug her to express his gratitude, so Rhode quickly put two more magic crystals into his arms.
When they came back, Makarov was trying to hold back his laughter. Rhode must have had a funny expression when he saw the communication magic crystal.
But when he saw Rhode’s pockets and arms bulging, he immediately stopped laughing.
“Mira…” Makarov wanted to ask why didn’t you stop him.
Mira said with a smile: “It’s okay, President. Rod won’t do anything rash. He feels more secure this way.”
”Forget it.” Makarov waved his hand, “You go.”
”Then goodbye, President, goodbye, Mira.” Rod hurried away before the president changed his mind.
But he ran back soon and tiptoed to the library.
Makarov and Mira probably guessed what Rod wanted to do, and didn’t expose him.
There’s nothing wrong with checking more information.
”Lebi? You’re here.”
As soon as Rod entered the door, he saw Lebi sitting on the mobile book ladder flipping through a big book.
“Rod?” Lebi looked up. “Well, I want to find some information about ancient texts. What about you?”
Rod said, “I want to find information about the topography, climate conditions, species of organisms, local customs and so on of the southern mountains.”
“So specific, do you have a mission?”
“Well, there is a commission over there, and I want to familiarize myself with the situation in advance.”
“What kind of mission requires so much information…” Lebi said casually, but she didn’t intend to ask specifically.
She thought for a while and said, “I remember there is “Fiore Geography” on bookshelf No. 3, and “Animal Atlas” is in…”
With Lebi’s help, the efficiency of finding books is very fast.
Rod touched the magic crystal in his pocket: “Today I will teach you to write “Art is Explosion.”
”What is that…” Lebi smiled and took off her glasses, “You have too much information to read, Feng Yong’s glasses can be lent to you.”
