Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash - Chapter 303

c302 Writing novels is really dangerous

Lebi has always been interested in book-related tasks.

However, just retrieving a book can earn 200,000 J, which is abnormally high, so Lebi hesitated for a day.

As a result, she learned today that she was picked up by someone, and the reward was increased to 2 million.

This made Lebi feel a little… fortunate.

Although she was unwilling, tasks with such high rewards were generally beyond her ability.

It is hard to say what the consequences will be if she accepts it rashly.

Mira encouraged: “Find another suitable one.”

Loki had already hidden in the corner, quietly wiped a cold sweat, and slipped away when no one was paying attention.

Lucy, the real Celestial Mage, is fine, but Rhodes, the fake Celestial Mage, is shouting about the Gate of Leo for no reason?

It feels more and more difficult to stay in the guild.

“Here, two beers!”

“Here I am…” Rod handed over two glasses of beer, “Macao? You’re not fully healed yet and you’re here to drink?”

“This injury is a piece of cake!”

“How could you be injured like this just from the expedition against Valken, and you still have the nerve to brag?” Wakaba blew out a puff of smoke and laughed while slapping the table, “Macao is so lame!”

Rod glanced at him. You were the one with the ugliest face when there was no news about Macao, so how did you know that you were also the one who mocked him the most after he was fine?

“What did you say? 18, I defeated 18!” Makao stood up and leaned forward, “If it were you, at most 17! No, 16!”

Wakaba also stood up and touched his forehead with him: “I have at least 19, no, 20!”

“16!”

“20! Don’t think I’ll let you go just because you’re injured!”

“15! Don’t think you can beat me just because I’m injured!”

“21!”

“14!”

“Is this some kind of new auction?” Rhodes was too lazy to care about them, and felt that there would be no fight today.

…

Three days passed in a flash.

“Partially receive the claws of the mountain subdragon!”

Rhodes moved his claws to adapt a little, and punched the ground with his fist: “Fist of the mountain!”

Bang!

With his fist as the center, the ground rumbled, and a crack extended from the center of the guild yard to the door.

Rhodes was not satisfied, so he adjusted the way he exerted force and punched again.

This time the extension distance was shorter, but the effect was that spider web-like cracks appeared on the ground centered on the fist, and the soil and rocks under the ground were also shattered by this punch.

“It feels a bit out of place, is this considered strange power?”

Rhodes carefully checked the fence. Although it was not broken, this kind of move was indeed not suitable for practicing in the yard.

“Repair the ground… Full body reception·Mountain Dragon!”

“Earth magic… Feel the magic of earth, the power of the earth, combine!”

The broken ground gathered together again, but a calf-high earth mound bulged up.

The cracks caused by the first punch also gathered together, and also bulged up a ridge.

“It’s still easy to use too much force.” Rhodes shook his head and canceled the reception magic. It was time to go to work.

It wouldn’t be too tiring to just receive the whole body like this.

As soon as Rhodes entered the door, he saw Lucy complaining to Mira about not getting paid:

“Lucy, you are back? Where are Natsu and Happy?”

“There.” Lucy pointed weakly, Natsu and Happy were fooling around in the tavern as if nothing had happened.

Lucy was a little shocked because she didn’t get paid for her first official mission.

“What happened?” Rod sat next to Mira naturally.

Mira prepared a towel and water for him.

“Actually…” Lucy recounted the mission.

It turned out that the client Kabi Munro was the son of the famous novelist Kem Sareou (Renqua Munro).

This mission was to eliminate the stain on his father’s writing career.

—— Kem Sareou was imprisoned by Duke Abar for three years and was asked to write a novel with Duke Abar as the protagonist.

Then he wrote the book “DAY BREAK”.

And after being released home, he claimed that he had written a bad work, cut off his hand holding the pen, and died of depression soon after.

Kabi thought the existence of this book was an insult to his father, so he wanted to burn it.

But Lucy unlocked the magic hidden in the book and rearranged all the words, and “DAY BREAK” became “DEAR KABY”.

The content also changed from a bad story to a letter to his son, and the book was accepted by Kirby as his father’s best work.

“That’s it, because the client increased the reward before and changed the requirement from ‘get the book’ to ‘destroy’ the book.

Then Natsu said that since the task was not completed without destroying the book, he could not accept the reward considering the reputation of the guild.”

Two million! Although Lucy could understand Natsu’s approach, she still felt heartbroken.

“I’ve read a work by Kaim Saleo, but I didn’t expect him to experience such a thing.”

While supplementing his common sense, Rod had not forgotten to learn about some literary works. Although he had not read enough books, he had read some works by famous writers.

“Writing novels is really dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be locked up by readers and asked to submit manuscripts. If you can’t write, you will not be given food.”

“That kind of thing is an extreme case!” Lucy felt sympathetic. In fact, she was also secretly writing a novel…Will she not encounter such a crazy person in the future?

“I hope so.” Rhode asked again, “How is the Duke? Illegal imprisonment does not seem to be a privilege granted by the nobles?”

“We have collected some evidence for Mr. Kirby. The Shiloh City Government intends to investigate him, and because he is a wizard, the Council will also intervene.”

Lucy and Natsu did a good job of finishing the matter.

Lucy was a little frustrated: “My first job…”

Mira comforted: “Although I didn’t get paid, Lucy was the first to read the best work, isn’t it great?”

“That’s what I said.” Lucy felt honored to witness this great work full of love,

“But I want to ask you for the secret after completing the task, Miss Mira.”

“What secret?”

“It’s the secret of Mr. Rod’s becoming stronger. Habib said that Mr. Rod gave it to Miss Mira for safekeeping.”

Rod wondered: “I have the secret to becoming stronger? Why don’t I know it?”

“Did they lie to me!?” Lucy wanted to settle accounts with them.

Mira thought for a moment: “If you really want to say it, there is.”

“What what?”

“Wait a minute.” Mira searched and took out three pieces of paper, “These are them.”

Lucy took it and looked at it eagerly: “Push-ups, sit-ups, meditation, long-distance running, practicing magic… What is this?”

“Rod’s training schedule, there is the initial version, the later extreme training version, and the later revised version, all here.”

“But… the first one can still be considered hard, the second and third… this intensity will kill people, right?”
