184. Chapter 183 For Lord Caniber
Chapter 183 For Lord Caniber
Canyon Swift Crabs, which run fast, have a wide field of vision, and can share vision with Rhodes, are the best choice for scouts.
The disadvantage is that they are a bit big, and their green color makes it difficult to hide their bodies in winter.
Rhodes is considering getting a few pieces of camouflage cloth for the two river crabs, including snow camouflage, desert camouflage, ocean camouflage, etc.
Now we can only make do with it.
The road to Poppy Town was very quiet. We only met three people in the more than ten kilometers, and they were all on the same carriage.
The three seemed to be going to Morninggroy to deliver goods. When they met Rhodes, a lone stranger, they were very alert and even wanted to leave the main road and go around him.
Rhode pretended to ask for directions, carefully felt that there was no suspicious magic in the carriage, and then took the initiative to bypass them.
In Poppy Town, there are not only security teams patrolling the streets, but also two people standing guard at the entrance of the town to check people entering and leaving.
It seems that they are just incompetent, not doing nothing.
Rhode was the one being checked. To avoid trouble, he showed the commission and asked the two not to make a fuss.
Because he lacked trust in them, Rhode left a river crab to stare at them from a distance before entering.
The atmosphere here is much more tense than that in Morninggroy. There are not many pedestrians on the street, but most of them walk in groups of two or three, and there is always one person holding a stick or something for self-defense.
Except for some trading shops, almost every house is closed. It seems that the townspeople are extremely uneasy.
Rhode tried his best to avoid the patrol team, accepted the shadow wolf, leaned against the corner and merged into the shadow, and quietly looked around the town.
When he found the crime scene yesterday, he sent the wolf spirit to smell the smell. When he passed by a house that seemed to have lost a child, he quietly sneaked in and took away one or two pieces of clothing.
It was quite impolite, but he had to do it in an emergency.
When he was about to leave the town and let the shadow wolf start a large-scale search, Rhodes suddenly felt that Worm had returned to the Howling Abyss.
He immediately received the Crimson Razorback and flew towards the town of Manjusaka.
They started arresting people in broad daylight. Is this black magic cult so arrogant? When he arrived, the battle was already over.
There were three black-robed people lying on the ground, and two broken staffs.
There was an exaggerated crack on the street, as if it was shaken out by some heavy blow.
Eluza was stepping on the chest of one of them with her foot, and the tip of her sword was pointing at the other’s neck.
Behind her was a mother holding her child, looking at the people who fell to the ground with a face full of fear.
When the neighbors saw the battle was over, they all came out to watch, and some ran to notify the security team.
Rod circled twice in the air above the town, trying to see if there were any suspicious people around.
Erusa looked up and continued to interrogate.
”Don’t waste your energy! I won’t say anything! Even if I die, my body and soul will be dedicated to Lord Caniber!”
As soon as Rod landed, he heard the person who was stepped on by Erza shouting these words.
Caniber, a demon that feeds on humans, is said to not only devour human flesh, but also gnaw on human souls.
Legend has it that it especially loves the bodies and souls of children, so those who want to summon Caniber will kidnap children.
Erza’s sword tip rubbed the black-robed man’s neck and stabbed into the ground, leaving a bloody mark on his neck: “I’ll ask you one last time, where are those children?”
The pain did not scare the black-robed man, but made him even more crazy: “Hahahaha! They will become the nourishment of Lord Caniber! After tonight, you will all die!”
The other two black-robed men also shouted enthusiastically: ”For Lord Caniber!”
”Long live Zeref!”
Even though he didn’t have the strength to stand up, he shouted these with full energy.
What kind of charm does Zeref have that makes these people believe in him to this extent? Or are they just worshipping a powerful force?
This is something that Rhode finds difficult to understand.
I need to learn more about Zeref when I go back. “My child! Where is my child?”
A woman with disheveled hair and a tired face stumbled over and cried, “Give me back my child!”
As she pushed through the crowd, before he jumped on the black-robed man, her husband hugged her.
Although he was also anxious and hated these black-robed men, they were still dangerous even if they were knocked down, and he couldn’t let his wife do stupid things.
”Master Wizard, please…”
”Please find our children!”
Other parents who lost their children came one after another, begging for help from Erza and Rhodes.
Erza said firmly: “We will find their lair and bring the children back!”
”It’s useless! After tonight, no one can… woo woo…”
Rhodes stepped on the man’s face, crushed half of his teeth, and blocked the second half of the sentence.
He tried his best to maintain a gentle expression and tone: “Please go back and rest, we need some time and space to interrogate them, okay?”
The residents gradually dispersed, and several parents who lost their children were eager to interrogate them by themselves until the security team came and persuaded them to leave.
Erza didn’t seem to mind Rhode’s rough interrogation methods at all, and even wanted to be more ruthless.
The kindness of Fairy Tail is reserved for those who deserve to be treated kindly.
…
The three fanatics were stubborn, but Rhode also got some information in the process of arguing with them.
For example, their leader’s code name is ‘Ghost’, and he may use a kind of black magic that can shatter a person’s bones with one blow.
For example, the location of their ceremony is very secret and the security is very strict.
Although they refused to tell the specific location, Erza judged from the mud and sand on the soles of their shoes and a little grass that it was most likely near the place where the mountains and the sea meet in the north.
For example, their summoning ceremony is likely to be set tonight, and before that, the children who are sacrificed are not in danger for the time being.
Time was very tight, so the two men temporarily handed over the three black-robed men who had no energy to shout slogans to the security team, and then rushed to the north without stopping.
Rhode was a little nervous.
We agreed to act calmly, but it turned out to be such a big fuss. All our previous low-keyness was in vain.
If someone had passed the news before they arrived, I’m afraid there would be twists and turns.
Eluza said ashamedly: “I’m sorry, I couldn’t control myself when I heard the child crying. I was impulsive.”
”It’s really hard to watch that situation.” Rhode didn’t think Erza had done anything wrong, but her reaction seemed too intense.
“Anyway, we just need to find them as soon as possible and rescue the children before the ceremony begins.”
”Ah.” Erza’s eyes were sharp, “Even if we have to chase the devil to hell, we must find them back.”
Sacrificing seedlings: “The Black-skinned Raikage is not a Minotaur”
Introduction: He is in Kumogakure, codenamed “S”, has a black-skinned Eight-Tails, and doesn’t like rap. “My father is the village chief”
”You are the most beautiful Konoha girl I have ever seen”
”There are stars in your eyes”
”Can you teach me Konoha ninjutsu?”
”Kumogakure is also the orthodox Six Paths! ”Konoha dares to call itself the descendant of the Six Paths?”
”You are the ones who deserve to die!”
It’s not my fault for greed, but it’s your problem for disobeying.
