Fairy Tail: I don't want to be the president

Chapter 118 Is the president of the Cat Inn also so unreliable?
The Cat's Inn is located in a valley, in a remote area with rugged roads.

The carriage was unwilling to go any further after sending everyone to the front of the mountain. If it went any further, it would easily damage the wheels and axles, and the driver would probably lose money on this trip.

Riding on the river crab on the bumpy path, Wendy's face was filled with guilt:
"I'm sorry. It was me who said I would entertain you, but I made you walk such a long way."

Rhode said, "Don't say that. If you hadn't been willing to take us in, Gray and I would have to sleep in the wilderness today. It's not easy to find a place to stay in a place like this."

Gray stood with one leg crossed and the other leg in a cool pose. He patted the crab's back and said:
"It's really convenient to team up with you. Natsu might stick to you all the time."

Rhode smiled and said, "Just for short trips. For a trip as long as this one, if we bring Natsu along..."

Gray continued: "It will definitely be fun!"

The two looked at each other and confirmed that the other was also a bad guy who liked to tease Natsu, and they couldn't help but laugh.

"Wendy, you must definitely keep your distance from them in the future."

Hexie was moving very fast. Following the instructions of Wendy and Xia Lulu, he walked for a while, and the view that was blocked by trees and rocks suddenly became wider.

Wendy said happily, "We're here, our guild is right in front!"

The land is flat and spacious, with neat houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos. The roads are connected, and the chickens and dogs can hear each other...

These words suddenly flashed through Rhodes' mind.

This small village, located deep in the mountains and forests and almost isolated from the world, does have some of the charm of a paradise.

Rhodes praised: "What a beautiful village."

"What a retro building." Gray said, "This kind of village is really rare nowadays."

Fearing the possibility of causing a disturbance, Rhodes asked everyone to come down and asked the two crabs to stroll on the mountain outside the village to verify their terrain information.

Then follow Wendy and Xia Lulu into the village.

After returning to the village, Wendy seemed to become much more lively and excitedly introduced the things in the village to Rod and Gray.

Two young men, carrying bows and arrows and wearing clothes similar to primitive tribal style, came over talking and laughing, as if they were going out hunting.

Wendy waved at them: "Pask, Naochi!"

Xia Lulu also smiled a little.

The two young people stopped and said, "Wendy, Xia Lulu, you're back!"

"I'm glad you're back safely. Everyone was worried about you... Who are the next two?"

Wendy introduced: "They are the wizards of Fairy Tail, Mr. Rod and Mr. Gray, they are friends that Xia Lulu and I met outside."

Pask said, "Oh, you're a wizard from a big guild. How rare. Hello, I'm Pask."

"Hello, I'm Naochi." Naochi said to Wendy with a smile, "You've made friends after just a few days out. Has Wendy grown up too?"

"Hello." Rod and Gray simply greeted them, not interrupting their concern for Wendy.

Wendy excitedly talked to the two about what she had seen outside, and the two listened with smiles on their faces.

When it comes to Wendy making friends outside, Pask and Naochi seem particularly happy.

It was a long time before the two left.

Wendy said apologetically again: "I'm sorry, I said too much and made you wait so long."

Rhodes said: "It doesn't matter. It can be seen that Wendy is very popular in the village."

Wendy smiled happily: "Because everyone is a good person."

The clothes worn by the people here are full of primitive tribal feeling, and their faces are painted with strange facial patterns.

I feel a bit similar to Nabu who is always looking at the bulletin board.

"Magna, Bebel!"

"Wendy, Xia Lulu, welcome back!"

Along the way, Wendy excitedly greeted everyone she met, and everyone responded to her enthusiastically.

The small village is full of human touch.

Keep walking along the stone road that runs north and south, and you will eventually arrive at the door of a cat-shaped tent.

There was a sign saying "Huan Neko Inn" on the top of the tent, and on the flagpole next to it was the sign of Huan Neko Inn.

Rhode wondered whether he should wait outside, but Wendy was already calling them to go in. He glanced at Gray, who nodded at him, probably meaning he could go in.

Rhodes also nodded, meaning, good, the clothes are still there.

The furnishings in the tent were simple, with three wooden round tables on both sides and in the middle.

The seat in the middle against the wall belongs to the president, and an old man wearing a feather headdress is sitting cross-legged there.

Wendy said happily: "President, we are back!"

"Fool." The old man sat upright, "Wendy, Xia Lulu, welcome back."

Rhodes whispered to Gray: "What did he just say? What fooling?"

Gray shook his head slightly: "I didn't hear it clearly."

"Don't worry about it, that's the president's catchphrase." Xia Lulu said, "We don't know what it means, but he always says it anyway."

Wendy introduces Rod and Gray to Robin Lu.

Robinlu poured himself a drink while listening to her.

But after he poured half a glass of wine, he started drinking from the bottle.

After Wendy finished introducing herself, Robinlu greeted her enthusiastically, "So you are a wizard from Fairy Tail, welcome to the Cat Inn."

As he spoke, the wine that the old man had just poured into his mouth flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Xia Lulu couldn't help it: "Swallow the wine before you talk, this is so rude!"

"Fool." Robinlu said something meaningless, poured some more wine into the glass, and then continued to drink from the bottle.

"I am sorry for being rude. Thank you for taking care of Wendy and Xia Lulu." The wine continued to flow out from the corners of his mouth.

Xia Lulu patted her forehead. She had been complaining about the idiots in Fairy Tail these past few days and almost forgot that she also had an idiot in her own family.

An old man with strange behavior. Gray came to this conclusion and said politely, "Sorry for disturbing you by visiting me."

Are all the old men who can become the president so out of tune? Compared with Gray, Rhode also criticized his own president:

"President Robinlu, our president Mr. Makarov asked us to send his regards to you."

"Ah, it's Mr. Makarov. I heard that he is one of the ten most outstanding wizards in this continent. I really want to meet him if I have the chance."

If he hadn't sprayed wine while talking, the scene would probably have been much more interesting.

Wendy said, "President, Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Gray have received a commission near Beiling, and Xia Lulu and I want to help lead them."

The North Ridge that Wendy mentioned was probably the Southern Mountains that Rhode and his friends mentioned, because it was located to the north of the Cat's Inn.

But Xia Lulu suspected that these two guys might be more familiar with the nearby terrain than she and Wendy. Do they really need them to show the way?

"Beiling, it's dangerous to go deeper. You're fooling me." Robinlu frowned.

"But since you are Fairy Tail wizards, there shouldn't be any problem. Wendy, remember not to cause any trouble for you two."

Rhode said quickly: "Wendy doesn't need to go over there, just help confirm the general direction."

Originally, asking Wendy for directions was an excuse for the president to let Rod and Gray escort Wendy back. How could he take her with him to carry out the mission?

Wendy added, "Also, if we can't finish it quickly, Xia Lulu and I would like to invite them to stay."

"Fool. It's fine if you stay here." Robinlu said immediately.

"Xia Lulu, please take them to settle down first. Can Wendy stay and tell me about what's happening outside?"

"Ok!"

Magic Encyclopedia: "Thought Body"

In Fairy Tail, there is a magic called "Thought Body", which can be roughly divided into two types:
One is a pure illusion, which allows you to project yourself to a distant place and communicate with others, but you can only see and hear, but not touch. It can probably be understood as a video call with 3D projection?

The other is almost equivalent to the art of clones, which can be controlled remotely and can also perform a certain degree of autonomous actions. This kind of person has a physical body and can even disguise himself as a different image from the original body. The disadvantage is that it will take away most of the user's magic power.

In addition, there are phantoms such as thought bodies and ghosts. In addition to their physical bodies, they can even have their own personalities.

[The thought body is a very mysterious magic. If you don't see the process of its activation or disappearance, even the eyesight of the Ten Holy Mages will find it difficult to distinguish it.]
