"This task..." Mira held the task sheet and hesitated.

Rhodes leaned over and whispered: "Looking for Divotiang Grass, the reward is 88,600J, and the mission location is Galantos Snow Mountain. Is there anything wrong?"

"It's a very common task, but the reward is a bit low compared to the difficulty." Mira explained,

"There is a ferocious carnivorous monster in Galantos. Generally speaking, such a risky mission requires a reasonable reward of at least 100,000 J. But the other party has marked an urgent mission..."

The reward is low, the risk is high, and it’s urgent?

"Maybe there is some inside story?" Rhodes said, "What is the Divotiang grass used for?"

"It was first used to treat colds and fevers, but because of the harsh growing environment and the availability of alternative drugs, it was rarely used. However, it was later discovered that it could be used to treat certain diseases..."

Mira flipped through the information and said, "It is indeed the case. The client's family has contracted that disease and is in urgent need of medicinal treatment."

"I'm afraid I spent all my savings on medical treatment..." Rhode looked at the odd amount of remuneration and took the task list from Mira's hand.

"Rod?"

"Can Elfman and I handle the kind of monster you mentioned?"

"That's a gregarious monster. It likes to swarm when fighting..." Mira glanced at Rhodes. This didn't seem to be a big problem.

"What you need to be careful about is that they use special methods to create avalanches, which is very tricky in an environment like snowy mountains."

"I'm not afraid of group battles. If the avalanche is enough, we can fly away..."

Rhodes said, "That's it. It's an unpopular task anyway, let's go and deal with it."

He wasn't sure whether this would be considered damaging to the market, but anyway, he would have to meet with the client and see if the other party really couldn't afford it or was deliberately lowering the price.

"Yeah." Mira nodded. Since Rhodes had already decided, she didn't say anything more.

As for whether Elfman cares about the small salary, Mira thinks not.

"Elfman~"

Elfman walked over from the bulletin board: "Sister?"

"The task has been selected, let's take a look." Mira showed him the task list and explained the key points at the same time.

"No problem sister, if you're a man, reward doesn't matter at this time!"

If it had been anyone else, Rhodes would have said, "Then your share belongs to me," but unfortunately it was Elfman, who could only say:

"Then let's go prepare separately. We'll meet here in half an hour. Remember to bring enough winter clothes."

"Man!" Since it was an urgent mission, Elfman responded casually and ran out.

Rhodes took the familiar route to the warehouse and library, picked up the necessary things, and then went home to prepare his luggage.

Half an hour later, Mira looked at the two people who were ready to go: "Elfman, remember to listen to Rod's opinions more."

"I understand, sister." Elfman wanted to fight Rhodes again.

However, it is precisely because he often fights that he knows that Rhodes is a trustworthy guy.

Mira opened her mouth, wanting to say something to Rhodes, but in the end she just looked into his eyes: "Be careful on the road."

Rhodes smiled: "Okay, let's go."

…

This time he left in a hurry, and there was no time to do anything. Rhodes could only bring a book and read it on the carriage.

Elfman still didn't quite understand Rhode's task process: "What is that?"

"For information about Galantos Snow Mountain, you need to know more about the mission location." Rhodes showed him the cover, then found a magic book and stuffed it into Elfman's arms, "Take this.

, take it out and use it when necessary.”

"Manly..."

Rhodes responded quickly: "If you are a man, just hold it carefully and don't let your sister worry."

"You... are really thoughtful." Elfman thought for a moment and asked, "You really want to take action against your sister, right?"

Rhodes thought for a moment, Elfman might prefer a straightforward communication method, but it's not the time to speak directly yet.

So here comes a statement that is both straightforward and not straightforward.

"Well... I can't admit it yet."

Elfman was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "What do you mean you can't admit it, you bastard!"

"That's the literal meaning, and it's best not to say this to Mira first."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Then decide in a manly way. Whoever wins the next fight will be at his discretion."

"That's it, manly!" Elfman couldn't help but agree after hearing the 'manly way'.

Then he recalled the huge golem he had seen last night.

Do you want to restrict Rhodes from using that move?

No, that’s not a manly fight!

Damn it, if I could absorb it with my whole body... The magic book in Elfman's hand fell on his lap, and he subconsciously wanted to hold his head in his hands.

Rhodes frowned. This child also had serious psychological problems. He said he wanted to move forward, but in fact it was not that easy.

The reason why he forcibly accepted Beast King was to protect his family in a desperate situation, and it was not his fault at all.

But because he was unconscious and did it, he has been unable to forgive himself.

'Elfman is a gentle child.' Mira said.

Rhodes also saw Elfman's previous appearance in the guild's photo album, and his temperament was indeed completely different from now.

The gentler your heart is, the more difficult it is for you.

Rhodes patted him on the shoulder and did not try to persuade him. If this kind of matter could be solved purely through words, the president would have cured him long ago.

Even if you want to escape, you have to have the right time.

The journey from Magnolia to the client's village took about two hours.

"Elfman, get ready to get out of the car."

"Ah." Elfman responded, and then he was a little surprised, "How do you know?"

"Because my Canyon Swift Crab has arrived a long time ago." Rhodes pointed to his eyes, "It has already seen our carriage."

What a convenient magic.

Elfman put away his magic book and carried his hiking bag.

The two entered the village, and Elfman's appearance was so frightening that the children chasing him on the street ran around them.

Rhodes asked Elfman to wait for him where he was, and went to find a kind-looking old man to ask for directions:

"Hello, I am the wizard of Fairy Tail. Where do Mr. Kalute and Mrs. Weiss live?"

"Karut? I see, you are here to help him treat his illness, right? He is a poor child, and he is about to lose his strength. He was clearly driving the carriage to deliver goods to other places in high spirits a few days ago..."

The old man muttered a few words, and then pointed in the direction, "Over there, there is a stable in the yard, but it is the one with no horses in it."

What a strange way of identification...

Rhodes thanked the old man and called Elfman to go to the house.

But if you think about it more deeply, did Mr. Kalut even sell his family’s horses for medical treatment?
