162. Chapter 161 Memory
Chapter 161 Memory
Rod’s investigation started from the guild album.
Since Mira said that Mest joined the guild a long time ago, even if there is no individual photo, he should be found in the group photo, right? Rod’s photo in the magazine was included in the album, and he also took a group photo with everyone during the harvest festival.
However, even after flipping to the end, Rhode did not see a single photo of Mest.
The collection of paintings that Lidas put in the library also did not have Mest.
Is this person really as mysterious as Mistgang? Although the possibility is small, it is not impossible. After all, Mira, Kana and Elfman were asked, and they were all hesitant about Mest’s situation.
So if you want to understand him, you have to check the past mission records, but…
As someone who helped Mira sort out the mission records, Rhode knew how many missions there were in a month, and he could imagine how terrifying the number of missions was every year.
Thinking about the pile of information, Rhode felt a headache.
”I have to borrow a pair of Feng Yong’s glasses… but it seems that Leibi is not here today.”
Lebi also took a lot of missions alone some time ago – although she didn’t have much confidence in herself, she still wanted to try it when the time came.
There are still too few people like Rhode who didn’t care about S-level from the beginning.
”The “Guild Member List”? This is good. At least I can find out when he joined the guild, and I can narrow the scope when I look for information.”
The first name on the list is the president Makarov, followed by Polyusicaa, and then the old veterans such as Gildarts, Makao, and Wakaba.
This is arranged in the order of joining the guild, and except for the first president Mavis, other members who have passed away or resigned are not recorded.
Rod reasonably suspected that there might be another roster in the guild that records all the members of the guild so far.
He flipped through the pages from beginning to end and saw his name, and then flipped from end to beginning: “No?”
Rod carefully read it for the third time, but still did not find Meister’s name.
”What the hell?”
…
Rod held the roster and found the president with a heavy heart, wanting to ask clearly.
Makarov felt something was wrong: “Mester? Of course he is a member of our guild, why do you ask?”
“Because he is not on this list, and I can’t find him in the guild’s photo album or art collection.” Rhodes turned to the last page and pointed to his name. “Even my name is written here, which means it has been maintained recently. If he is an old member from many years ago, how could he forget to register?”
Makarov felt it was a bit difficult. It was certain that he couldn’t find Mester in the photo album, because all the photos of him were put away.
As for the list, it was a book with living connection magic. When the emblem on the body disappeared, the name would disappear with it.
Mester’s original emblem had been temporarily erased in order to be an undercover agent, and his name would naturally disappear with it.
Although it was not a real-name undercover, it was always better to be thorough.
This way, the list would not be exposed when it was shown to the Council – the original intention of making this book was to facilitate the Council’s regular review of the guild personnel list.
I didn’t expect that Rhode would find out at this time.
Makarov had a headache: “Why did you suddenly start investigating Mest?”
”Because I want to be Kana’s partner, isn’t it normal to investigate my opponent before the exam?” Rhode said, “You know my style.”
”…” Makarov nodded.
Indeed, this kid would investigate the local situation in advance before taking any small mission to leave Magnolia, not to mention such a big thing as the S-level exam.
Of course it’s a good thing to be cautious, but at this time… Makarov didn’t even think of such details.
To temporarily restore Mest’s emblem? But that guy might be reporting to the Council now, isn’t this selling out teammates? “Ahem…” Makarov thought for a moment and said, “I have photos of Meister. I kept them because he rarely took photos. As for the list… I probably missed it when I was transcribing it.”
Rod stared at him, his expression as if asking, ‘Do you think I’m a fool?’
It’s not difficult to print a few more photos, and the list is not difficult to print a few more photos.How could such an important thing be neglected? ”Can you help me retrieve a few of Mest’s mission records? I mean those ordinary missions that do not involve confidential content, there shouldn’t be none at all, right?”
”At this stage, all the missions he has done do need to be kept confidential.” Makarov felt a little uncomfortable when Rhode was staring at him. Lying to his own children…
No, he didn’t lie. “In short, Mest is indeed a member of the guild, there is no doubt about that.”
”Then…” Rhode suddenly stopped talking, “Wait a moment.”
He stepped back a few steps and glanced around the tavern: “Eluza, can you come over?”
”Hmm?” Erza came over, “What’s the matter?”
Mira, who was not far away, also walked over quickly and looked at him curiously, always feeling that she had missed some big gossip while serving dishes.
”Eluza, you stand in front and get ready for battle, Mira, you step back a little and come and stand here.” Rhode pulled Mira to hide behind Erza.
Erza asked in confusion: “Fight? With whom?”
Makarov looked at him helplessly: “What are you doing?”
Rod bent down and pressed Mira’s head to make her lower.
Mira slapped his hand away, but she felt that something interesting was going to happen, so she cooperated with him to hide.
Rod asked cautiously: “President, is there any magic in this world that can control your mind?”
Makarov’s forehead was bulging with blue veins, and this kid suspected that he was controlled!
You asked Erza to come here because you were afraid that you would hurt someone suddenly, and you wanted to find someone who could compete with you, right? Even at this time, you could remain cautious. Makarov didn’t know whether he should be happy or angry.
”Hahaha…” Mira held her stomach and laughed so hard. Although she didn’t know what happened, Rod actually said this conclusion seriously.
And he was prepared for the possibility that the president would attack them after being exposed.
It’s so interesting!
”The president is controlled? Are you sure?” Erza opened her right hand and a long sword appeared in her hand. She was really ready to protect Rhode and Mira at the first time.
Makarov sighed helplessly: “The so-called mental magic, when the person realizes that he is affected, it is easy to resist.
Unless the magic power of the caster is much higher than mine, so that it is completely not on the same level.”
”…” Erza put down the sword. This seems unlikely.
And if someone with much higher magic power than the president wants to plot against them, they can basically give up resistance.
Rhode thought for a while: “Then…”
Makarov glanced at him: “You don’t want to ask about magic that can affect memory again?”
Rhode nodded.
“In theory, memory magic can indeed affect people whose magic power is much higher than their own. But at the same time, as long as you realize that you may have been hit by this kind of magic, you can easily break it.
I have checked myself and I have indeed not been hit by this kind of magic. Are you satisfied?”
Makarov looked at the brat hiding behind Erza and wanted to hit him on the head.
After saying this, Mira and Erza were stunned at the same time: “President, I…”
Makarov raised his hand to stop them from talking.
He glared at Rhodes, jumped off the counter, and put his hands behind his back: “Follow me.”
