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

Chapter 214 Appears in the News in a Weird Way
A salary increase is always a good thing, but Mr. Luo is worried about insufficient funds to buy a house.

I originally thought that having more than two million in my hands was enough to make me a small rich man, but after learning more about the housing prices, I realized that even one-tenth of it is already pretty good.

It would probably take 20 years of saving just from salary to buy a medium-sized house.

Of course, the banks here also have loan services, and the policies for magicians are pretty good, but in essence you still have to work for a long time.

Magnolia is a prosperous city where magic is prevalent. It would take decades of hard work for an ordinary wizard to settle down here.

People like Rhodes who can handle difficult tasks are better, and they can accomplish it with a few years of hard work.

If I cling to Erza's thighs like I did last month, I probably won't even last two years.

In fact, there is another option, which is to settle down outside the city.

Just build a house in the suburbs like Natsu and Happy, or build a tree house in the forest like Ms. Polyusicaa.

No one cares about building houses outside the city, which saves a lot of money. The disadvantage is that it is not very convenient for life. You have to run a long way just to buy a bottle of soy sauce.

Then there are those who live in the countryside with their parents like the newcomer Tono.

But it would take him three hours to get to the guild by carriage every morning. If he also took the afternoon trip home...it was a nightmare commute.

After considering various possibilities, Rhodes still felt that it would be better to work harder to settle down in the city.

If you improve your strength a little bit more and become S-level, you can make money even faster.

"What are you thinking about?" Mira asked curiously when she saw him frowning while holding the banknotes, "Are you worried about how to spend it?"

"Almost. But I am more worried about how to make money." Rhodes said, "I am considering settling down in Magnolia."

"Settling down?" Mira thought for a moment, "You want to buy a house?"

"Yeah, this city is great, right?"

"Of course." Mira could understand Rhode's feelings and reminded him, "But if you are too impatient, it will be very hard."

"Well." Rhodes looked at Mira's delicate features, "This is a long-term plan, so there's no need to rush."

"Don't look at me and say 'long-term plan.'" Mira fled back inside the counter.

She could actually help a little financially, but she didn't have a suitable name. If...

Just random thoughts, random thoughts, there is no if, it’s too early to think about these now!
Laqi's voice rang out: "Rod, two beers over here! Sister Mira, a roast chicken over here!"

"coming."

"it is good."

Rod took the glass and poured the wine, and Mira passed the message to the kitchen.

Although the "little rich man" and the little rich woman are "extremely powerful" in the guild, they are just serving tea and water to everyone.

low profile.

Rhode was still the same as usual, looking through the task information when he had some free time during work, and occasionally he would pick some tasks that had not been accepted for a long time and finish them.

When Mira is free, she will find a mission that no one cares about due to low pay and team up with Rhodes.

Sometimes they came to look for cats and dogs, and sometimes they even came to mediate disputes. Rhode couldn't understand why neighborhood disputes required wizards to help mediate.

This kind of troublesome and unprofitable task was naturally unpopular, but Rhodes and Mira didn't care. They just treated it as a date, and a date with its own theme.

It's quite fun to go out like this occasionally. It can help the guild solve the backlog of tasks, and it can also be a reasonable way to go out and play... Going out to work, killing two birds with one stone.

However, this also brought a small problem. February 2th was Wednesday, the day when the new issue of Sorcerer Weekly was released.

The second time Rod saw himself in the magazine, he was featured in a strange way:
"The rumored boyfriend of the famous model Miss Mirajane?"

The reason seems to be that the two people have become so close during this period that they are beyond the scope of ordinary friends.

And some people witnessed the two of them having dinner, shopping and buying flowers together on Valentine's Day.

The picture showed the backs of the two people, but Mira was tilting her head to look at Rhodes. She could be recognized from the side profile, and she was smiling happily.

As for Rhodes, there was no frontal photo, but he reposted the report about "The Strongest Newcomer" from half a year ago.

In fact, nothing special happened that day. At most, I held Mira for a while longer at the door when I sent her home.

Elfman had ignored this matter since he had a serious fight with Rod last time. He didn't expect that there were bad guys among the spectators.

Rhode himself was not unhappy at all, but he was a little worried about Mira: "Will this affect your popularity?"

"Maybe. Jenny once said it would have an impact, but it doesn't matter if I don't do this job. Besides..."

Mira looked at Rod and added, "I'm no longer following my old path."

Mira had thought about it carefully before agreeing to be a model for the heart-shaped cross clothing.

Thinking of Rod's choice of topic when he competed with Jenny in the capital, and the suggestions Rod made during the beauty pageant, Mira guessed that Rod might mind the sexy route.

Although she herself doesn't care much about it, it's not impossible for her to pay a little attention from now on.

Rhodes felt a little strange: "Will Soshara also release this kind of news that may be harmful to you?"

"Because it may not necessarily be a disadvantage. I have produced so few works recently, and the sudden appearance of this kind of news may have a good effect. Even if the effect is not good, at least it can increase the sales of the magazine in the short term."

Rhodes thought for a moment and said, "I have a way to dispel the rumors."

For example, tell everyone that it was not a rumor but the truth? Mira could more or less guess what he wanted to say.

So she held up a tray, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "If you dare to say it, I will beat you."

"I surrender." Rhodes ended the topic and sighed softly, "I'm going to practice."

"Still no idea?" Mira knew that his training had not been going well recently, and the next summoned beast had not yet appeared.

"Well, it may be due to insufficient magic power, or it may be due to insufficient research on this subject." Rhodes stroked his pendant.

Logically speaking, the next wild monster that should appear should be the Rift Herald or the little dragon.

But when he recently used his consciousness to explore Summoner's Rift, he was unable to see through the fog of war near the dragon pit.

The dragon pit is occupied by Void Nesters. I don’t know if there are any Rift Heralds and how they will come out.

You can't kill all the Void Nesters first, right?
What should we do if we want Baron? Kill the Rift Herald as well?

Rhodes had no choice but to continue exploring and work hard to improve his magic power.

Based on the previous experience of summoning red and blue double buffs, no matter who is the next one, it will inevitably consume a lot of magic power.

He needs more practice with his small body.
