It's hard to say whether the rusty sword was cursed after it chopped people, but tetanus is probably inevitable.

The point is that although this guy looks like he was drained by the sword, like a victim.

But we can't believe everything he says.

The motive for finding the cursed sword is to destroy it. Who knows if it's true or not?

There's no way to prove the motive... Maybe people who are good at interrogation have magic that can distinguish lies.

"We can't verify the things you said, but the fact we know is that you took that sword and wore that armor to injure more than a dozen hunters and three wizards."

Rhodes glanced at Erza and added, "You also damaged our weapons and armor, and created a certain panic in this area."

"As wizards who have accepted the commission to investigate here, we need to take you back for questioning. Can you cooperate with us?"

Xi didn't hesitate: "I... am willing to take responsibility for my mistakes."

He has become what he is now, and he can't resist what the other party wants to do.

Fortunately, the two wizards didn't look like unreasonable people.

Rhodes took out a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into Xi's mouth to replenish his energy, but for safety, he still tied up his hands and feet cruelly.

Erza hesitated: "Is this a bit too much?"

"I can't help it. Strictly speaking, this guy is now a criminal suspect..." Rhodes thought for a while and asked, "Will we have trouble taking the people from the Seven Kingdom back?"

He didn't know if there was any problem with cross-border pursuit of the murderer here.

Erza said: "He injured the people of the Fiore Kingdom within the scope of the Fiore Kingdom. We didn't cause much damage when we arrested him, so there will be no problem.

Let the government officials handle the rest of the matter. We can't interfere in diplomatic affairs."

"That's right." Rhodes stretched out his hand, a light flashed, and a cloth bag appeared in his hand.

Erza was surprised and said: "Are you so proficient in dressing magic?"

"There will be some small accidents when changing clothes, but there is no problem with storing and retrieving things." Rhodes took the cloth bag and found some armor fragments and the fragments of the sword and put them in.

Erza also took out a bag and collected some.

These things are enough to serve as proof of mission completion.

Rhode received the ancient stone beetle and collected some fragments, scattered them and buried them deep underground, trying to avoid future troubles for the client, so as to prevent them from reassembling.

After completing the aftermath, Rhode summoned the surviving river crabs and carried Xi back to the village.

The sun had already set at this time, but fortunately Erza brought a lamp that could be held in her hand.

She even changed into a safety helmet for miners, the kind with a headlamp on it, and had fun wearing it on her head.

To be honest, Rhode also wanted to play with it.

In fact, he also had a hand in text magic for lighting, but he was a little tired today and didn't want to use magic.

Several people set out on the return journey with the help of the light.

"Rhode, look over there." Erza used a headlamp to illuminate a certain direction.

"Is that wintersweet? I didn't notice it when I came here, it smells so good."

Eluza sighed: "Even in such a cruel battlefield, this kind of flower can bloom a hundred years apart."

Is it possible that there were countless wintersweets blooming here two hundred years ago, but they were all destroyed by the war?

Rhode didn't say such a depressing thing, but just admired it silently and continued to move forward.

"You are finally back... I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief. The two wizards came back with injuries, and these two hadn't returned yet, so he thought something was going to happen.

"Not only is it okay, we have completed the mission." Erza handed the cloth bag to the village chief, and the rusty iron pieces inside made a metallic friction sound.

"Finished, finished?"

"Yes, the cursed sword and a set of armor were destroyed by us." Erza pointed at Xi on the back of the river crab, "and the person who caused these events is also here."

"Who is he?" Rhodes said: "The situation is a bit complicated, wait and we will tell you slowly."

"Yes, yes, I am rude, please come to my house first, you two haven't had dinner yet, right?"

The village chief welcomed the two to his home and asked the children to prepare meals.

Xi also has a share, the suspect cannot starve to death.

The two carefully explained the cause and effect to the village chief.

The village chief was quite happy to give the money, but he was troubled about how to deal with Xi.

Later, he suddenly felt that it was not his turn as a small village chief to worry about such things, and he could just hand the person over to the mayor tomorrow.

At night, of course, they stayed at the village chief's house, and the village chief "thoughtfully" arranged them in the same room.

Rhodes pulled Erza's suitcases over to block the two beds.

While lying in bed, he was still thinking about whether he should team up with Erza less often for such long-distance missions in the future.

But partnering with Erza only requires supporting, and the brainpower is much easier than partnering with others.

It makes money quickly.

This kind of team mission is really tempting...

Rod fell asleep in the entanglement.

The next morning, the two accepted the village chief's request to help escort Xi to the city.

However, Rod asked Erza to leave later.

Erza just thought that he was tired yesterday and wanted to rest for a while, so she didn't have any objections.

...

Since they set out a little late and had to deal with Xi's affairs on the way, it was already evening when the two of them took the train back to Magnolia.

Rhode looked at the time: "Is the guild closed at this time?"

Erza nodded: "Ah, let's report the mission tomorrow."

"Then shall we disband?" Rhode asked, "Is your girls' dormitory closed too?"

"Of course not." Erza left with the luggage cart, "See you tomorrow, and it's a pleasure to work with you this time."

"Me too, see you tomorrow."

Erza definitely didn't need him to send her off, so Rhode summoned Worm and went home with it.

When he got downstairs, Rhode found that the lights in his house were on.

"I should have remembered to turn off the lights before going out..." Rhode had a little guess, and ran up the stairs, leaving Worm behind.

"Snoring?" Worm was puzzled, so anxious, rushing to catch a thief?

Take out the key, take a deep breath, and open the door.

A familiar figure stood in the living room. She was wearing a dark apron, a scarf on her head, holding a small duster in her hand, and standing on tiptoe to clean the dust on the picture frame.

As if she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned around in confusion, a smile bloomed on her face, and subconsciously said, "Welcome home."

Rhodes didn't know how to describe his mood.

He could hear his pounding heartbeat because he just ran up the stairs?

No, Rhodes was sure it was not because of this, but just because of the person standing in the room.

Looking back and smiling under the light, it seemed as if time had stopped for this.

He felt that he might remember this scene forever.
