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

Chapter 183 For Lord Caniber

The Canyon Swift Crab runs fast, has a wide field of vision, and can share vision with Rhodes, making it the perfect choice as a scout.

The disadvantage is that it is a bit big, and its green color makes it difficult to hide in winter.

Rhodes was considering getting some camouflage cloth for the two river crabs, including one for snow camouflage, one for desert camouflage, one for ocean camouflage, etc.

Now we have to make do with what we have.

The road to Popi Town was very quiet. In the journey of more than ten kilometers, I only met three people, all in the same carriage.

The three men seemed to be going to Morninggrove to deliver goods. When they met Rod, a lone stranger, they were very wary and even wanted to get off the main road and go around him.

Rhodes pretended to ask for directions, carefully felt the carriage to see if there was any suspicious magic, and then took the initiative to bypass them.

Not only are there security teams patrolling the streets of Popi Town, but there are also two people standing guard at the entrance of the town to check people entering and leaving.

It seems that they just lack the ability, not that they do nothing.

Rhodes was the one being questioned. To avoid trouble, he showed the authorization form and told the two not to tell anyone.

Because of his lack of trust in them, Rhodes left a river crab watching them from a distance before entering.

The atmosphere here is much more tense than in Morninggrove. There are not many pedestrians on the street, but most of them walk in groups of two or three, and there is always one person holding a stick or something for self-defense.

Except for a few shops, almost every household was closed, and it seemed that the townspeople were extremely uneasy.

Rhodes tried his best to avoid the patrols, accepted the shadow wolf, leaned against the wall and blended into the shadows, quietly looking around the town.

When they found the crime scene of yesterday, they let the wolf spirit go over to smell the scent. When they passed by a house where a child was suspected to be missing, they sneaked in quietly and took away one or two pieces of clothing.

It's quite rude, but we have to do what we can in an emergency.

Just as he was about to leave the town and release the Shadow Wolves to begin a large-scale search, Rhodes suddenly felt that Worm had returned to the Howling Abyss.

He immediately took the Crimson Razorback and flew towards the town of Manjusaka.

They started arresting people in broad daylight. Is this black magic cult so arrogant? By the time he arrived, the battle was already over.

There were three men in black robes lying on the ground, along with two broken staffs.

There was an exaggerated crack on the street, as if it had been caused by some heavy blow.

Erza was stepping on one of them's chest with her foot and the tip of her sword was pointing at the other's neck.

Behind her was a mother holding her child, looking at the people falling to the ground with fear on her face.

When the neighbors saw the fight was over, they came out to watch, and some ran to notify the security team.

Rhodes circled twice in the air above the town, trying to see if there were any suspicious people around.

Erza glanced up and continued her interrogation.

"Don't waste your energy! I won't say anything! Even if I die, my body and soul will be dedicated to Lord Caniber!"

As soon as Rod landed, he heard the person Erza stepped on shouting these words.

Canibel is a demon that feeds on humans. It is said that it not only devours human flesh, but also gnaws at human souls.

Legend has it that it particularly loves the bodies and souls of children, so those who want to summon Kanib will kidnap children.

Erza's sword tip rubbed the black-robed man's neck and stabbed into the ground, leaving a bloody mark on his neck: "I'll ask you one last time, where are those children?"

The pain did not scare the man in black robe, but made him even crazier: "Hahahaha! They will become food for Lord Caniber! After tonight, you will all die!"

The other two men in black robes also shouted enthusiastically:
"For Lord Caniber!"

"Long live Zeref!"

Even though he didn't even have the strength to stand up, he shouted these words with full energy.

What kind of charm does Zeref have that makes these people believe in him to this extent? Or are they just worshipping a powerful force?

This was something that was difficult for Rhodes to understand.

I need to know a little more about Zeref before I can go back."My child! Where is my child?"

A woman with disheveled hair and a tired face stumbled over, crying, "Give me back my child!"

Before she pushed through the crowd and threw herself on the man in black robes, her husband hugged her.

Even though he was anxious and hated these men in black robes, they were still very dangerous even if they were knocked down, and he couldn't let his wife do anything stupid.

"Mage, please..."

"Please find our child!"

Other parents who lost their children came one after another, begging for Erza and Rod's help.

Erza said firmly, "We will find their lair and bring the children back!"

"It's useless! After tonight, no one can... wuwu..."

Rhodes stepped on the man's face, crushing half of his teeth and blocking the rest of his sentence.

He tried to maintain a gentle expression and tone: "Everyone, please go back and rest. We need some time and space to interrogate them, okay?"

The residents gradually dispersed, and several parents who had lost their children were eager to interrogate the suspects themselves, until the security team arrived and persuaded them to leave.

Erza didn't seem to mind Rhodes's rough interrogation methods at all, and even wanted to be more ruthless.

Fairy Tail's kindness is reserved for those who deserve to be treated kindly.

……

The three fanatics were stubborn, but Rhodes also gained some information in the process of arguing with them.

For example, their leader's code name is 'Ghost', and he may be using a kind of black magic that can crush a person's bones with one blow.

For example, the location of their ceremonies is very secret and heavily guarded.

Although they refused to tell the specific location, Erza judged from the mud and grass on the soles of their shoes that it was most likely near the place where the mountains and the sea meet in the north.

For example, their summoning ceremony will most likely be held tonight, and before that, the children being sacrificed will not be in any danger of life for the time being.

Time was running out, so the two men temporarily handed over the three black-robed men who had no strength to shout slogans to the custody of the security team, and then rushed north without stopping.

Rhodes was a little nervous.

We agreed to act calmly, but it ended up causing such a big fuss. All our previous low-key attitude was in vain.

If someone passed the message before they arrived, there would probably be trouble.

Erza said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself when I heard the child crying. I was impulsive."

"It's really hard to just watch and do nothing in that situation." Rhodes didn't think Erza had done anything wrong, but her reaction seemed too intense.

"In any case, we just need to find them as soon as possible and rescue the children before the ceremony begins."

"Ah." Erza's eyes were sharp, "Even if I have to chase the devils into hell, I will find them back."

Sacrificing the seedling: "The Black-skinned Raikage is not a Minotaur"

Introduction: He is in Kumogakure, codenamed "S", has a dark skin and eight tails, and doesn't like rap. "My father is the village chief"

"You are the most beautiful girl in Konoha that I have ever seen."

"There are stars in your eyes"

"Can you teach me Konoha ninjutsu?"

"Yunyin is also the orthodox Six Paths!
"Konoha dares to call himself the successor of the Six Paths?"

"It's you who deserve to die!"
