Rhodes first took a look at the general content of the mission:

Investigation mission: Naked man with bandage;

Remuneration: 240,000 J;

Recently, there have been frequent sightings of the Zate brothers from the Dark Guild's "Naked Bandage Man" in the southern mountains. Investigate their whereabouts and purpose.

The client is a forcible restraint unit under the Fiore branch of the Council.

It is actually the task of the Council!

Let’s not complain about this lousy guild’s bad name. Rhode’s point is:

"Dark Guild? Let me go? President, have I made you angry recently?"

Makarov said: "First of all, this is just an investigation, not a crusade. Secondly, it's just two people from the Dark Guild, not the entire guild."

Rhodes muttered: "Last time, Natsu also accepted a mission to investigate monsters. Didn't it turn into a subjugation in the end?"

Makarov said helplessly: "That's why I let you go this time. It's for investigation and not for subjugation. You happen to have the right magic."

"..." Rhodes was silent. Do I look so reliable?

The suitable magic mentioned by the president should be Canyon Swift Crab.

So the correct way to carry out the investigation mission is to hide in the Cat's Hostel and be a guest for a few days, and then let two river crabs run around the mountain?

Makarov said: "And the mission is just by the way, I hope you can escort Wendy back.

With such a long distance and the Dark Guild active, she and Xia Lulu are not safe. You seem to care about Wendy, right?"

This has all been seen.

I do care, after all, Wendy is the weakest person among the people that Rhodes now 'recognizes'.

Moreover, such a well-behaved, cute and sensible little girl always makes people want to take care of her.

However, the premise must be within your own capabilities.

Rhodes thought for a while and asked: "President, can I form a team?"

Makarov nodded: "Okay, who do you want to find?"

"Erza."

"Erza has other missions."

"Then Mystergan and Laxus are also fine."

Although he secretly wanted to beat them up, Rhodes felt that in the face of a powerful enemy, personal grudges could be put aside.

Makarov almost fell off the counter: "If Mira is still S-class, are you planning to find Mira too?"

Rhodes shook his head: "That's not possible. How can such a dangerous mission drag Mira into the water?"

Oh, Mira can't be in danger, do others deserve it?

No, he was almost led astray by this child. Makarov said angrily: "I just asked you to investigate quietly. Just be careful and there is no danger!"

Isn't that what you're best at?

Rhodes said that not because he thought others deserved it, but mainly because he was worried that it would be a bit unsightly to be protected by Mira.

Originally, I was investigating a small dark guild and forming a stable team with an S-class guild.

Makarov called a few names: "Kana, Gray, Natsu, you choose one."

"Then can I..."

Makarov looked at him without speaking.

"Okay, I choose Gray."

Natsu's sequelae haven't been cured yet, and Kana is an all-around mage, so her compatibility with Rhodes isn't very good.

Gray is pretty good, and the name of the guild, Naked Bandage Men, matches Gray well.

Although there are no bandages, he can be a naked man.

"Then it's settled." Makarov shouted into the tavern, "Gray!"

Lucky patted Gray on the shoulder: "The president is calling you."

"ah?"

Gray and Lucky came together, Lucky was busy with her own affairs, and Gray listened to the president's mission.

"Team up to complete the commission? Okay." Gray didn't talk nonsense as much as Rhodes, "When will we set off?"

Rhodes said: "Let's meet at the station tomorrow morning. When does the train to Harugion arrive?"

Mira said: "The earliest class is 7:30, and Wendy and the others are in this class."

Gray nodded: "Okay, then meet at the station entrance in advance."

Lachikuku on the side laughed out loud, Rhodes...

When I went to the royal capital with Sister Mira, I made an appointment to meet at the guild instead of at the ferry.

When you go out with Gray, make an appointment directly at the station.

Kukukuku…

Gray briefly read the information and left, while Rhodes was still studying it carefully.

The Naked Bandage Man is a pretty big dark guild, and the location of the guild cannot be determined.

Some people have previously confirmed that their people appear in Ohibana, Gunuki, Onibasi and other places.

But these are cities along the railway line, so we can't make any judgments.

You don’t need an ID card to buy train tickets here, and there is no decent security check. Whether you are an ordinary person or a terrorist, you can sit on the train if you want.

"By the way, Guild President, when we go to such a far place, why don't we bring a communication magic crystal with us to facilitate contact with the guild?"

"..." Makarov sighed, "If you can do it, just bring it with you."

Mira snickered: "I'll take you to get it."

Rhodes followed Mira to the guild warehouse.

Mira pointed to the three communication magic crystals on the ground and said with a smile: "These are spares, pick whatever you want."

"...No, there's no smaller one?"

Rhodes stretched out his hand and made a gesture. The magic crystal and the base were taller than the old man.

And it’s so heavy that you’ll probably have to check it on the plane if you bring it on board.

Mira smiled and said: "It is already the smallest batch, and I heard that smaller ones are still under development. What do you think, do you want to bring it with you?"

"..." Rhodes was silent. He grabbed two exploding magic crystals from the shelf and stuffed them into his pocket, and took two magic books and put them in his arms.

"I saw it."

"Mira~" Rhodes looked at her pitifully. He should have brought Worm along to help him act cute.

Mira covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, I approve."

"Thank you!" It was a pity that he couldn't hug her to express his gratitude, so Rhodes quickly picked up two more magic crystals.

Makarov was holding back a smile when he saw the two coming back. Rhodes's expression must have been interesting when he saw the communication magic crystal.

But when he saw the bulging things in Rod's pockets and arms, he stopped laughing immediately.

"Mira..." Makarov wanted to say why don't you stop him.

Mira said with a smile: "It's okay, President, Rhodes won't mess around. He feels more secure like this."

"Forget it." Makarov waved his hand, "Let's go."

"Goodbye, president, goodbye Mira." Rhodes hurried away before the president regretted it.

But not long after, he ran back again and tiptoed towards the library.

Makarov and Mira probably guessed what Rhodes wanted to do, but they didn't expose him.

There is nothing wrong with checking more information.

"Lebby? You are here."

As soon as Rhodes entered the door, he saw Lebby sitting on the mobile book ladder, flipping through a tome.

"Rhode?" Lebby raised her head, "Well, I want to find some information about ancient texts. What about you?"

Rhodes said: "I want to find information about the topography, climate conditions, biological species, customs and other aspects of the southern mountains."

"So specific, is there a mission?"

"Well, I have a commission over there and I want to familiarize myself with the situation in advance."

"What kind of mission requires so much information..." Lebby said casually, not intending to ask specifically.

She thought for a while and said: "I remember that there was "Geography of Fiore" on bookshelf No. 3, and then "Animal Atlas" was..."

With Lebby's help, finding books is very efficient.

Rhodes touched the magic crystal in his pocket: "Today I will teach you how to write 'Art is Explosion'."

"What is that..." Lei Bi smiled and took off her glasses, "You have too much information to read. I can lend you Feng Yong's glasses."
