Chapter 118 Is the president of the Cat-Transforming Inn also so unreliable?
The Cat-Transforming Inn is located in a valley, in a remote area with rugged roads.
The carriage only sent everyone to the front of the mountain and was unwilling to go any further. If it went further, it would easily damage the wheels and axles, and the driver might lose money on this trip.
Riding on the river crab on the bumpy path, Wendy’s face was full of guilt: “I’m sorry, I said I would entertain you, but I made you walk so far.”
Rod said: “Don’t say that. If you hadn’t taken me in, Gray and I would have to camp in the wilderness today. It’s not easy to find a place to stay in a place like this.”
Gray stood with one leg crossed and the other leg in a cool pose. He patted the back of the river crab and said: “It’s really convenient to team up with you. Natsu might stick to you all the time.”
Rod smiled: “Only short trips. For such a long trip like this, if you bring Natsu…”
Gray continued the second half of the sentence: “It will definitely be fun!”
The two looked at each other and confirmed that the other was also a bad guy who liked to tease Natsu, and couldn’t help laughing.
“Wendy, you must keep your distance from them in the future.”
The river crab was very fast. Following the guidance of Wendy and Xia Lulu, the view blocked by trees and rocks suddenly opened up.
Wendy said happily: “We are here. Our guild is just ahead!”
The land is flat and the houses are neat. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos. The roads are connected, and the chickens and dogs can hear each other…
These words suddenly flashed through Rhodes’ mind.
The small village, which is almost isolated from the world in the deep mountains and old forests, does have some meaning of the Peach Blossom Spring.
Rhodes praised: “What a beautiful village.”
”What a retro building.” Gray said, “This kind of village is really rare now.”
Because he was worried about causing a riot, Rhodes asked everyone to come down and let the two river crabs take a stroll on the mountain outside the village to simply verify their terrain information.
Then he followed Wendy and Xia Lulu into the village.
After returning to the village, Wendy seemed to become more lively and excitedly introduced the things in the village to Rod and Gray.
Two young men came over with bows and arrows, wearing clothes similar to primitive tribal style, talking and laughing, as if they were going out hunting.
Wendy waved at them: “Pask, Naochi!”
Xia Lulu also smiled a little.
The two young people stopped: “Wendy, Xia Lulu, you are back!”
”It’s great that you are back safely. Everyone was worried… Who are the two behind?”
Wendy introduced: “They are the wizards of Fairy Tail, Mr. Rod and Mr. Gray. They are friends that Xia Lulu and I met outside.”
Pask said: “Oh~ They are wizards from a large guild. It’s rare. Hello, I’m Pask.”
”Hello, I’m Naochi.” Naochi said to Wendy with a smile, “You made friends after being out for a few days. Has Wendy grown up?”
”Hello.” Rod and Gray simply greeted them and didn’t interrupt them to care about Wendy.
Wendy excitedly talked to the two about what she saw outside for a while, and the two listened with smiles on their faces.
When it comes to Wendy making friends outside, Pask and Naochi seem particularly happy.
It took a long time before the two left.
Wendy said apologetically: “I’m sorry, I said too much and made you wait so long.”
Rod said: “It’s okay, I can see that Wendy is very popular in the village.”
Wendy smiled happily: “Because everyone is a good person.”
The clothes of the people here are full of primitive tribal feeling, and their faces are painted with strange facial patterns.
It feels a bit similar to Nabu who always looks at the bulletin board.
“Magna, Beibel!”
“Wendy, Xia Lulu, welcome back!”
Wendy greeted everyone she knew along the way, and everyone responded to her enthusiastically.
The small village is full of human touch.
Walk along the stone road that runs north and south, and finally arrive at the door of a cat-shaped tent.
The top of the tent is written with “Cat Inn”, and the flagpole next to it is hung with the sign of Cat Inn.
Rod wondered whether he should wait outside, but Wendy was already calling them to go in together.Lei glanced at him, and Gray nodded at him, which probably meant that he could come in.
Rod also nodded, which meant, very good, the clothes are still there.
The furnishings in the tent were simple, with three wooden round tables on both sides and in the middle.
The seat in the middle against the wall belonged to the president, and an old man wearing a feather headdress was sitting cross-legged at this time.
Wendy said happily: “President, we are back!”
”Fooling.” The old man sat upright, “Wendy, Xia Lulu, welcome back.”
Rod whispered to Gray: “What did he say just now? What fooling?”
Gray shook his head gently: “I didn’t hear it clearly.”
”Don’t worry, that’s the president’s catchphrase.” Xia Lulu said, “We don’t know what it means, anyway, it’s always on his lips.”
Wendy introduced Rod and Gray to Robin Lu.
Robin Lu poured himself a glass of wine while listening to her.
But after he poured half a glass of wine, he drank from the bottle.
After Wendy finished introducing, Robinlu greeted enthusiastically: “So you are a wizard from Fairy Tail, welcome to the Cat Transformation Inn.”
While speaking, the wine that the old man had just poured into his mouth flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
Xia Lulu couldn’t help it: “Swallow the wine for me before talking, this is too rude!”
”Fool.” Robinlu said an unclear colloquialism, poured some more wine into the glass, and continued to drink from the bottle after pouring.
”It’s my fault, thank you for taking care of Wendy and Xia Lulu.” The wine continued to flow out from the corners of his mouth.
Xia Lulu patted her forehead. These two days, she always complained about the idiots of Fairy Tail and almost forgot that she also had an idiot.
Old man with weird behavior. Gray came to this conclusion and said politely, “Sorry for disturbing you.”
Are all the old men who can become the president so unreliable? Compared with Gray, Rhode also criticized his own president:
”President Robinlu, our president Mr. Makarov asked us to say hello to you on his behalf.”
”Ah, it’s Mr. Makarov. I heard that he is one of the ten most outstanding wizards on this continent. I really want to meet him if I have the chance.”
If he didn’t spit wine while talking, the scene would probably be much better.
Wendy said, “President, Mr. Rhode and Mr. Gray received a commission near Beiling. Xia Lulu and I want to help them lead the way.”
The Beiling mentioned by Wendy is probably the southern mountains mentioned by Rhode and others, because it is located to the north of the Cat Inn.
But Xia Lulu suspected that these two guys might be more familiar with the nearby terrain than she and Wendy. Do they really need to show the way?
“North Ridge, it will be dangerous if you go deeper. Fooling.” Robin frowned,
”But since you are a wizard of Fairy Tail, there should be no problem. Wendy, remember not to cause trouble for you two.”
Rod said hurriedly: “Wendy doesn’t need to go there, just help confirm the general direction.”
Originally, asking Wendy to show the way was an excuse for the president to let Rod and Gray escort Wendy back by the way, so how could he take her to carry out the mission?
Wendy added, “Also, if it can’t be done quickly, Xia Lulu and I want to invite them to stay.”
“Fool. It’s okay if they stay.” Robinlu said immediately,
”Xia Lulu, take them to settle down first. Can Wendy stay and tell me about the outside world?”
”Yes!”
Magic Encyclopedia: “Thought Body”
There is a magic called “Thought Body” in Fairy Tail, which is roughly divided into two types: One is a pure phantom, which can project itself to a distance to communicate with others, but can only see and hear, and cannot be touched. It can be roughly understood as a video call with 3D projection?
The other is almost equivalent to the clone technique, which can be remotely controlled and can also perform a certain degree of autonomous action. This kind of body has a physical body, and can even disguise itself as a different image from the main body. The disadvantage is that it will take away most of the user’s magic.
In addition, there are similar thought bodies. Phantoms such as ghosts, in addition to the physical body, they can even have their own personality.
[The thought body is a very mysterious magic. If you don’t see the process of activation or disappearance, it is difficult to distinguish even with the eyesight of the Ten Holy Mages. 】
