Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash - Chapter 407

Chapter 404 The Council… Gone

The next day, when Rod woke up, it was already bright.

He had been making too much noise at night, and he only slept for two or three hours.

He was too tired yesterday, so when he woke up, his mind was still groggy. As long as he closed his eyes, he could fall asleep again at any time.

Mira had already washed up, and she was wearing the same pajamas as Erza, but in different colors.

She felt a little distressed when she saw Rod’s look: “Sleep a little longer?”

Rod sat on the bed and rubbed his face to wake himself up: “No, there are still many things to do today.”

For example, the matter of the Three Crows, although they were extremely vicious criminals, he had to explain the situation even though he had done such a heavy hand.

And the Tower of Paradise needs to send a river crab to take a look, and search for Jellal’s whereabouts.

The Council is expected to come to the door today, so it is better to take the initiative to make a report and question the matter of magic spirit power and the traitor.

I guess I have to worry about the settlement of Erza’s friends.

Rhode got a headache thinking about these trivial matters. He opened his arms to Mira: “Where is my good morning kiss?”

“I gave it to you.” Mira blinked, “When you were still asleep.”

“That doesn’t count. You’re kissing me secretly! I want to kiss you back!”

“Isn’t that childish?” Mira said, and walked over to kiss his forehead.

Rhode hugged Mira’s waist, buried his face in her arms and rubbed it, then went to wash up and went out with Mira.

“Leaving? When?”

The two saw Erza and knew that Simon had left here with a few companions by boat.

“Not long after the banquet ended.” Erza had a look of loss on her face, but not much sadness. “They have been living in the tower. They want to see the outside world with their own eyes first, and then decide on their future lifestyle.”

“Erza…” Mira was a little worried about Erza’s feelings.

Erza smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I have seen them off properly. They are all very strong people, and I believe they will go on well.”

Rhode thought that even if they were going to leave, they should be given a literacy class first to supplement their common sense.

However, there are many people in this world who do things as soon as they think of them, and few people think about things before doing things like him.

After all, they are wizards, and they will not die.

Rod asked: “What about Simon? We agreed to help him heal his eyes and injuries, right? I feel that he is the one who wants to stay the most.”

“Simon has reasons to leave.” Erza said, “He has a sister who is missing and must be found. Wally also has a brother.”

In fact, there are some other reasons. They think that if they stay, Erza will think of the painful things in the past when she sees them.

It’s better to go out for a walk first and give both parties more time.

Mira asked: “If you are looking for someone, wouldn’t it be better to tell everyone to help find it together?”

Erza shook her head gently: “Because they have decided that from now on, they will not live on others, nor live for others, until they decide on a new lifestyle. That is the ‘freedom’ they are pursuing.”

Rod felt that it was probably the sequelae of being exploited for 8 years. Should it be called a stress response or something else?

It may require psychological counseling, or it may take time to slowly heal.

Since Erza said that, he could only wish them good luck.

Although he was not hungry when he woke up, Rhode ate something simple and then went to the hotel manager to discuss compensation for the damaged room.

After talking, he found out that it was not only Mira’s room that needed compensation, but also the equipment in the underground amusement park.

Simon and his friends broke some things when they went to catch Erza.

And Xio used card magic to put all the tourists and staff on the scene into cards, causing some panic.

These things need to be apologized one by one – only a few tourists did not complain, as if it was because a certain blonde beauty wizard gave them some benefits when she was tied up.

“Lucy, I didn’t expect you to make such a big sacrifice for the guild. I’m so touched.” Rhode said exaggeratedly, “I vote for you as the best newcomer this year.”

Lucy covered her face: “Don’t mention it anymore, it feels so embarrassing!”

Gray actually said righteously: “Too careless, so many people saw it.”

“You are the least qualified to say such things!” Lucy shouted at him, “At least put on your clothes first!”

Juvia glared at Lucy: “You actually wanted to use that method to attract the attention of Gray-sama, so indecent.”

Lucy pointed at Gray: “Who is indecent!”

Rhode had long been accustomed to the noisy appearance of his companions, and walked to the beach on his own. He had to flatten the hill he built yesterday and release the river crabs.

After being busy with various trivial matters for most of the day, everyone took a break and prepared to have lunch, and then saw Makarov hurried back.

“President, how is it?”

Makarov listened to Rhode’s advice and decided to contact the Council on his own. Judging from his face, the situation did not seem good.

Sure enough, Makarov said, “Pack your bags and go back to the guild immediately.”

“What are you talking about, old man?” Natsu said dissatisfiedly, “Three days of vacation vouchers, we have only been here for one day!”

Lucy did not dare to refute the president, but she wanted to agree.

Erusa asked, “Have we been held accountable by the Council?”

Makarov said seriously: “No, it was the Council headquarters that was destroyed. There were many injured, including some councilors.”

“What?” Everyone was shocked. “The magic spirit power was clearly launched yesterday!”

Eluza immediately thought of the suspect: “Ziklein… No, was it Jellal who did it? He actually…did it to this extent.”

Makarov shook his head: “The details are not clear yet. Anyway, Erza, you and Mira will take them back first. The guild will be temporarily left to you to take care of.”

Eluza and Mira replied: “Yes, we know.”

“You will also take care of Juvia’s formal admission. Gray will be responsible for helping her get familiar with the environment of the guild.”

“…Yes.” Gray thought it was troublesome, but it was not easy to refuse now.

“Rod, come with me. The local guild alliance is going to hold an emergency meeting. Let’s go directly.”

“Okay.” Rod said nothing.

The destruction of the Council headquarters is a major vicious incident that has not been seen in many years. The magic world may be turbulent because of this.

Although I usually think that the Council is very rigid and annoying, and sometimes it does more harm than good. But it is undeniable that those are just individual cases, and they actually accomplish more.

They also make great efforts to eliminate the dark guilds and the black magic cult. Many evil forces hate the Council the most, not the regular guilds.

They are also under considerable pressure.

The Council headquarters was destroyed, and there may be a considerable degree of chaos in the future. Not only the magic world will be affected, but more likely ordinary people will suffer.

In addition, there are dangerous elements among the councilors, and I am afraid that several other councilors will also be investigated.

The selection of the next councilor also needs to be very careful, and I don’t know how long it will take.

There is also the issue of the title of the Ten Holy Mages, which was originally awarded to the ten best mages on the Ishgar continent.

But among them, two dangerous elements, Joseph and Zikrein, appeared one after another, and this bad influence must be considered.

(Joseph started the war without authorization, and to some extent he can be considered as dangerous as Gerald)

Before the Council can resume normal operations, the local guild alliance must actively respond to the situation that follows.
