Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash

Originally there were some messy footprints around here, but it rained a few days ago, and the specific shape is now difficult to identify.

"President, you said before that you investigated the beast herd rampage. Did you get any results?"

"No, there has been no trace since that time." Makarov looked at Rhodes, "But now I have a little guess."

"This... me too." Rhodes was a little guilty and whispered, "If it was really caused by my magic rampage, how much compensation would I have to pay?"

Seeing Rhodes's worried look, the president smiled and said:

"No compensation is required at all, because this area is a no-man's land. You can't go to the king to pay a fine for such a small matter."

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief and almost faced a greater economic crisis.

After walking a distance deeper into the forest, the two officially arrived at Polyusica's residence - a tree house.

Rhodes looked up at the red apples hanging on the surrounding trees, and then looked down at the bag of apples in his left hand, and suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.

"President..." Rhodes forced an ugly smile, "Why didn't you remind me?"

"Hahaha... So you can show such an expression, so funny!" Makarov laughed out loud in a very bad way, like an old naughty boy.

After he laughed enough, he said: "It doesn't matter what the gift is, as long as the thought is there!"

"It's so noisy!" The door of the tree house was opened roughly, "I can hear your annoying laughter from a hundred meters away, Makarov, can't you be quiet?"

Makarov greeted with a smile: "What's wrong with being lively occasionally, isn't it lonely to live here alone?"

Polusica noticed Rhodes: "Your injuries should have healed a long time ago, right?"

Rhodes said quickly: "Yes, because I heard that you like quietness, I didn't dare to disturb you, Thank you for your help and care!"

"Hmm?" Polyusica was surprised that Rhode spoke the common language so fluently, but did not ask in detail, only said,

"Since you know, go back quickly, I said I hate humans."

"Don't be so heartless, this child also asked me to bring him here because he wanted to thank you." Makarov said, "Here, I also brought you a gift."

Polyusica saw the red apple at a glance and glared at Makarov: "Humph, the child taken in by a fool is also a fool."

After speaking, she turned and went into the house, but did not close the door.

Rhode was a little embarrassed by what she said.

But Makarov knew that she was not humphing about Rhode, but his boring behavior of teasing children even though he knew that there were only apple trees here.

"Don't mind, she speaks like this." Makarov is used to Polyusica's way of expression, "Let's go, not closing the door means inviting us in. "

Tsundere?

No no no, too rude.

Rhode condemned his own behavior of criticizing his benefactor without authorization, and followed the president into the tree house.

The space in the tree house was not big, and the furnishings were very simple. There was almost no place to stand after entering.

The ground was full of flower pots with herbs and bottles of various medicines.

The furnishings in the house were only a bed, a desk, bookshelves and cabinets on the wall, and a wooden stool.

Rhode looked left and right, and didn't know where to put the things in his hand.

Polyusica looked at the bottle in Makarov's hand: "You came here for that thing in your hand, right?"

Makarov nodded: "Yes, here is some soil stained with poison, I want you to see if there is any way to solve it."

Polyusica immediately asked: "Has anyone in the guild been poisoned?"

"No, just preparing for a rainy day." Makarov told the cause of the incident again, and at the end he praised Rhode, "This kid is very stable."

"Humph, another idiot who only knows how to pursue power."

Polyusica took out a petri dish with a look of disgust, put a little soil in it, and dripped one liquid after another into it.

Rhode didn't care about Polyusica's attitude. This old lady probably said such a thing because she had experienced something.

For example, a companion pursued power too much and finally hurt himself.

After a series of professional tests, Polyusica confirmed the effect of this toxin:

"Contact toxins will quickly penetrate the skin after contact. There will be a tingling sensation at the beginning, followed by a sense of paralysis, and the movement will become slow.

If the poisoning lasts for a long time, the toxin will damage the internal organs, and in severe cases, it may cause death.

Low temperature can reduce the spread rate, and the toxicity will decrease to a certain extent after high temperature baking. The effect of inhaling a small amount of volatilized gas is not obvious."

After a detailed test, Polyusica went outside to find a place and asked Rhodes to release the magic frog.

She needed to collect some more venom samples, oral secretion samples of the magic frog, and the mushrooms on its back should also be studied.

"Come and get the antidote in a few days. Don't abuse this monster before then."

"Yes, thank you!"

"You don't have to come. Makarov asked for trouble. Let him do it himself."

"Oh, okay."

Rhodes wanted to say that he caused trouble, but after thinking about this sentence carefully, he always felt that it was wrong.

"Trouble" may refer to him, so the president is the one who is looking for trouble?

It seems that there is no way to refute it.

...

On the way back, Rod was gloomy.

Makarov asked: "Do you care about what Polyusicaa said?"

"No, Ms. Porlyusica...how should I put it? Although she has been complaining, the things you asked her to do were not perfunctory at all.

He should be a nice guy with a sharp mouth but a soft heart. Rhodes shook his head, "I'm worried about other things. I seem to have overspent on my living expenses this month." "

The money to buy meet-and-greet gifts, the money to research and develop ingredients for Poro delicacies, the clothes I bought some time ago, and a few pieces of fitness equipment...

The money in my pocket always slips through my fingers unknowingly, and there are still nearly two weeks until the salary is due.

Before time travel, just skipping breakfast every day would have solved the problem, but that doesn't work now. Skipping breakfast will definitely affect training.

"You, it's about time you try to accept commissions, right?" Makarov said helplessly, "If you continue like this, you will become the second Nabu."

Nabu was actually more determined than Rod because he refused to be a waiter.

"Actually, I want to give it a try, but the hourly wages for commissions in the city may not be as good as those in the guild tavern. Commissions outside the city..."

Rhodes looked troubled, "I always feel that I am not strong enough and it is not safe to go out like this."

"It's good to be cautious, but now at least half of the people in the guild are no longer your opponents."

The president sighed, "Give yourself more confidence, you are strong. Magic comes from the power of the heart. If you don't even believe in yourself, the magic will become weak."

Rhodes was shocked: "So even if I keep practicing hard, there is a chance that I will become weak after I go out?"

"Is this the point?!" Makarov couldn't help yelling at Rhodes, "Go back to Mira to help you choose a suitable mission!"

Makarov suspected that Rhodes might have suffered sequelae after being attacked by a ferocious beast. It was necessary to let him go out for a walk to develop his confidence and gain some common sense from outside books.

"oh……"

Rhodes reluctantly nodded and thought about it rationally. There was no need for the president to lie to him, and there was no reason to cheat him.

Maybe it’s time to go for a walk? To be more prudent, Mira must choose a safe mission, preferably forming a team with others.
