150. Chapter 150 Expedited Task
Chapter 150 Expedited Task
”This task…” Mira hesitated as she held the task list.
Rode leaned over and whispered: “Find Divotian Grass, the reward is 88,600 J, and the task location is the Galantos Snow Mountain. Is there anything wrong?”
”It’s a very common task, but the reward is a bit low compared to the difficulty.” Mira explained,
”There is a ferocious carnivorous monster in Galantos. Generally speaking, this kind of risky task requires a reward of at least 100,000 J to be reasonable. But the other party marked it as an urgent task…”
Low reward, high risk, and expedited? “Maybe there is something going on?” Rhodes said, “What is the Divotian grass used for?”
”It was originally used to treat colds and fevers, but because of the harsh growing environment and the availability of alternative medicines, it was used less frequently. But later it was discovered that it can be used to treat a certain epidemic…”
Mira flipped through the information, “Sure enough, the client’s family has contracted that epidemic and urgently needs herbs for treatment.”
”I’m afraid he spent all his savings on treatment…” Rhodes looked at the reward amount in both decimal and integers and took the task list from Mira’s hand.
“Rod?”
”Can Elfman and I handle the kind of monsters you mentioned?”
”They are gregarious monsters that like to rush together in battle…” Mira glanced at Rhodes. This didn’t seem to be a big problem. ”Be careful that they will create avalanches in a special way, which is very tricky in the snowy mountains.”
”I’m not afraid of group battles. We can fly away if there are avalanches…”
Rod said, “That’s it. It’s an unpopular task anyway, so let’s deal with it.”
He wasn’t sure if this would be considered disrupting the market, but he had to meet with the client anyway. He would see if the other party really couldn’t afford it or was deliberately lowering the price.
”Yeah.” Mira nodded. Since Rhodes had made up his mind, she didn’t say much.
As for whether Elfman would mind the low reward, Mira thought he wouldn’t.
”Elfman~”
Elfman came over from the notice board: “Sister?”
”The task is selected, come and take a look.” Mira showed him the task list and explained the key points.
”No problem, sister. If you are a man, you don’t care about the reward at this time!”
If it were someone else, Rod would definitely say, “Then your share belongs to me.” Unfortunately, it was Elfman, so he could only say: ”Then prepare separately, and gather here in half an hour. Remember to bring enough winter clothes.”
”Be a man!” Because it was an urgent task, Elfman responded casually and ran out.
Rod went to the warehouse and library with ease, took the necessary things, and then went home to prepare his luggage.
Half an hour later, Mira looked at the two people who were ready to go: “Elfman, remember to listen to Rod’s opinions.”
”I know, sister.” Elfman wanted to fight Rod again.
But it was also because they fought so often that she knew Rhodes was a trustworthy guy.
Mira opened her mouth and wanted to say something to Rhodes, but in the end she just looked into his eyes and said, “Be careful on the road.”
Rhodes smiled and said, “Okay, let’s go.”
…
This time they left in a hurry and had no time to do anything. Rhodes could only bring a book to read in the carriage.
Elfman didn’t quite understand Rod’s task process: “What is that?”
”About the information of Galantos Snow Mountain, you should always know more about the task location.” Rod showed him the cover, then found a magic book and stuffed it into Elfman’s arms, “Take this, and use it when necessary.”
”Manly…”
Rod answered quickly: “If you are a man, take it well and don’t let your sister worry.” ”You… are really thoughtful.” Elfman thought for a while and asked, “Sure enough, you want to take action against your sister?”
Rod thought for a while, Elfman might prefer a straightforward way of communication, but it’s not the time to say it directly.
So he came up with a statement that was both straightforward and not straightforward.
“Well… I can’t admit it yet.”
Elfman was stunned for a moment and said angrily: “What do you mean by can’t admit it, bastard!”
“It means exactly what it says, and it’s better not to tell Mira first.”
“Why am II want to listen to you?”
”Then let’s decide in a manly way. Whoever wins the fight next time will listen to him.”
”That’s it, manly way!” Elfman couldn’t help but agree when he heard ‘manly way’.
Then he recalled the huge golem he saw last night.
Are you going to restrict Rod from using that move? No, that’s not a manly fight! Damn, if I can use my whole body to receive… Elfman’s magic book fell on his legs, and he subconsciously wanted to hold his head with both hands.
Rod frowned. This kid also has serious psychological problems. He said he wanted to move forward, but it was not that easy in reality.
At the beginning, he forcibly received the Beast King because he wanted to protect his family in a desperate situation. It was not his fault at all.
But because he was unconscious, he moved hand, so he has been unable to forgive himself.
‘Elfman is a gentle child. ’ Mira said so.
Rod also saw Elfman’s previous appearance in the guild’s album, and his temperament is indeed completely different from now.
The more gentle he is in his heart, the harder it is to get through this stage.
Rod patted his shoulder and didn’t try to persuade him. If this kind of thing could be solved purely by words, the president would have cured him long ago.
Even if you want to talk, you have to find a suitable time.
It took about two hours to get from Magnolia to the client’s village.
“Elfman, get ready to get off.”
“Ah.” Elfman responded, and then a little surprised, “How did you know?”
“Because my Canyon Swift Crab has arrived a long time ago.” Rod pointed to his eyes, “It has seen our carriage. ”
What a convenient magic.
Elfman put away his magic book and put on his backpack.
The two entered the village. Elfman’s face scared the children chasing him on the street and they had to run around them.
Rod asked Elfman to wait for him there, and he went to find an old man who looked very kind to ask for directions:
“Hello, I am a wizard from Fairy Tail. May I ask where Mr. Karut and Mrs. Weiss live?”
“Karut? I see. Are you here to help him with his illness? He is a poor child. He is about to collapse. He was driving a horse-drawn carriage to deliver goods to other places a few days ago…”
The old man muttered a few words, and then pointed in a direction, “Over there, there is a stable in the yard, but the one without horses is the one. ”
What a strange way of identification…
Rod thanked the old man and asked Elfman to go to the house.
But thinking deeply, did Mr. Kalut sell his horse in order to treat his illness? (End of this chapter)
