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

Chapter 444: The goal is 500 million. No, it is to punish evil and promote good.
Rhodes never expected that after the lively performance, the next celebration would be labor.

The protagonists of this content are the children of the village.

All children aged 6 and above and below 15, regardless of gender, were gathered together and each was given a hoe tailor-made for him.

The older children used bigger hoes, while the younger children used smaller ones. The children wielded their hoes and began to reclaim land in a specially designated area in the village.

At the beginning they were very enthusiastic and it was fun to play with so many people.

It just lasted a little longer and the children soon started to get tired, with the younger ones even starting to cry.

At this time, even the parents who doted on their children had no intention of stepping forward to comfort them. Only a few strict people continued to correct their actions and tell them what they did wrong.

After crying for a while, the children found that no one was there to comfort them, so they had to stand up and continue working while crying.

After the small piece of land was cultivated, the adults began to instruct them step by step on how to sow seeds and how to plow the soil.

The crop planted this time is winter wheat. From now on, the weeding, insect catching, fertilizing, harvesting, drying, grinding, etc. of this small piece of land will all be taken care of by these children until next year's harvest.

Lightning explained to Rod and Mira that this was a necessary step in every harvest festival held in their village, and children must learn farming skills from an early age, even if it was just one or two crops.

You don’t have to participate after you become an adult because you have to help with housework or separate and do your own thing after getting married.

"What a great custom." Rhodes exclaimed.

Now he understood why the village was able to harvest a good harvest even after rushing to plant crops following the disaster.

This should also be called inheritance.

By the time the children finished their work, it was already getting dark.

Only then did the parents take their children home with heartache to comfort and groom them, as they had a lively party to attend later.

Although they feel sad, if the Harvest Season continues to be held next year, they will still let their children participate in this activity because they themselves have gone through this before and feel that they have benefited a lot.

Taking advantage of the short break, the village chief and Rhodes went to see the people who seemed to have attacked their village.

"More than 40 people, all wizards?"

Jasper swallowed his saliva. It was obvious at first glance that these guys with strange hairstyles and uniform uniforms were not to be trifled with.

Normally speaking, a bandit gang of 40 people would be enough to cause trouble for their village, but these 40-plus wizards might be able to raze the entire village to the ground.

I used to think that the existence of a Council of Review had little to do with them, but now I think deterrence is very important.

"Thank you. Thank you again for saving the village."

"You're welcome. This is our mission." Mira said with a smile, "I should say you have foresight to issue the escort mission in advance."

"No, actually..." Jasper blushed.

Rod and Mira looked at him and felt that they were very close to the truth.

Jasper hesitated for a moment, but still said, "In fact, it was quite some time after you two left last time that we realized how good wizards you are. And eradicating the rat infestation is like saving our lives... In comparison, the mere 20 J reward is really insignificant.

So after the harvest, I specially issued a designated mission. In fact, I originally just wanted to invite you to participate in the festival in the name of guarding, and then treat you well to express my gratitude, but I didn’t expect that this kind of thing would really happen..."

In fact, he had originally planned to keep it a secret from them, hold the ceremony safely, and then give the money out smoothly.

But now that this has happened, it would be bad to continue hiding it from them.

It was originally well-intentioned, but ended up causing trouble for others, damn dark guild.

Mira quietly nudged Rod with her elbow and smiled at him.

After so much precautions, in the end people came to thank you.

"Is that so..." Rhode didn't know what to say. Should he blame himself for being too vigilant? It's not a bad thing to be a little vigilant.

I can only say that the villagers in this village are too kind.

He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but this is also a blessing in disguise, and the reward has already been agreed upon, and it will not be returned."

If the other party is kind-hearted and even willing to go to great lengths for it, then he should be grateful and accept it calmly.

Jasper quickly said, "Of course I won't change it. If I knew this would happen, I should have improved it a bit."

One person dealt with more than 40 wizards from an entire guild, which further demonstrated how powerful the other party was. Jasper felt that his imagination was still not enough.

Mira raised a finger: "Same sentence, the reward has been agreed upon, and I can't give more."

The three of them laughed together. Rhodes asked Mira to give these people another dose of powerful sleeping magic, and then continue to participate in the Harvest Festival.

The atmosphere at night is much more lively than during the day. The bonfire is lit, all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables are cut, special foods are displayed, and the whole village enjoys the carnival.

Rod and Mira were invited to the campfire and danced a simple dance with the villagers, and then retreated to the periphery, enjoying the food while watching this lively and festive scene.

"That's great." Mira couldn't help but sigh.

The harvest festivals in the countryside are not as grand and varied as those in the city, but they do have some things that the city doesn't have.

She didn't know how to express it, she just snuggled up to Rhodes and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah." Rhodes responded simply.

He is a little sleepy.

I stayed up all night yesterday and remained alert today. Now that I have just relaxed and had a full meal, I am feeling sleepy all of a sudden.

He leaned on Mira in a daze, his eyelids gradually became heavy, his body gradually relaxed, his head found the most comfortable position to rest on, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

Mira hugged him gently with a gentle smile on her face.

the next morning.

"Did you sneak attack me yesterday?"

"No."

"Use sleep magic on me quietly?"

"No."

"Did you do anything secretly while I was sleeping?"

"Yes." Mira said with a smile, "I secretly put on some beautiful makeup and changed into a dress you've never seen before and walked in front of you."

"Ah..." Rhodes sighed.

Mira looked at him: "Why do you look so disappointed? Do you regret going to bed too early?"

"No, I just think you must be lying to me since you said that." Rhodes lowered his head and took a breath, "It's time to get up."

Mira punched him on the chest, "Pervert, what's so good about that?"

They both got up and washed.

As if to retaliate against Mira, Rhode stared at her when she changed out of her pajamas, without any intention of avoiding her.

Mira looked at him for a while, then simply changed her clothes openly. She was wearing special sleeping underwear underneath, so she just pretended to be showing him a swimsuit.

If you want to watch it, go ahead. Only those who feel uncomfortable know it. Ask him to prepare this and that before he agrees to get married!

After getting the reward, when leaving the village, Rhodes looked at Mira with resentment in his eyes.

Mira was just giggling.

When she had enough of the fun, she would rub against Rhode, whisper in his ear, kiss his cheek secretly, and put his head on her lap with her chest as a pillow...

All kinds of intimate little actions until he loses his temper.

Rhodes looked up at the sky. He was done for. He had fallen completely into the hands of this evil woman.

He reached back and pinched her, and was satisfied when he saw her surprised look and her cheeks beginning to turn red.

The price is that there is no pillow.

Don’t be afraid, there will be plenty in the future.

Rhodes talked about his next plan:
"Let's go to the town first, send these guys over, confirm the news about Eligore, and then go and capture him."

Now more than forty people were being carried or supported by various wild monsters, following behind the river crabs they were riding.

More than twenty wild monsters lined up in a mighty team.

Mira said: "We have to convince the president when we go back."

Rhode smiled like a fox: "No, we will go back later. The president will leave for the regular meeting at noon at the latest. If we are later, we will miss it."

"Routine meeting?" Mira calculated the date. She didn't notice it when she set out, but now she realized that it was time for the routine meeting.

"Hehehe...just go back and leave the matter to Erza, or leave it to Makao and the others."

Rhodes had said so many times that he wanted to avoid routine meetings, but this was the only time he actually did it.

Mira also laughed. This guy... Come on, President.

She added, "It's fine if Erza is here, but if she's not here, Makao and Wakaba probably won't want to get involved in this kind of thing."

"It doesn't matter. I can bribe them." Luo De was confident. "I have a few invitation tickets to the Blue Pegasus. Those two people will definitely not refuse."

"Oh~ A gift ticket to Qingse Tianma..." Mira hugged Rhodes' waist gently and put her face on his back.

If it were any other girl, this would be considered as being intimate or acting coquettish, but this was Mira.

This can be turned into a powerful back throw, or it can be turned into an inhumane killing move by hugging the man in the arms.

"Um... the invitation ticket was given to me by President Bob last time I attended a regular meeting."

Rhodes placed his hand on the back of her hand. It would be better if the smooth back of her hand and the slender fingers were not so tense.

Mira didn't say anything, just waited for him to speak.

"I was thinking of telling you to give them away or resell them as soon as I got back, but I seemed to have forgotten about it because of something else. I just remembered it now."

Rhode felt the arm around him loosen a little, so he quickly turned around and hugged her in his arms: "I never thought about going from the beginning to the end. Now it's just right to use it to bribe those two uncles."

Mira thought about it and said, "Don't give them."

"Ok?"

"Leave it to the two of us to go together."

Rhodes raised one hand: "I swear to heaven that I will never step into the blue Pegasus, otherwise..."

"What are you thinking about!" Mira slapped Rod's hand away, interrupting his swearing and giving him a nice look.

Then she couldn't help laughing again: "I mean, we two go together, and then, ah, ask Jenny to pour tea and wine for us, and chat with us and make us happy..."

Thinking of Jenny's reluctant look, Mira couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You devil." Rhodes also laughed, "I like it."

A large group of wild monsters queued up and entered the town, causing a little disturbance, but seeing how orderly they were, it wasn't something to be too scared of.

This was convenient for Rhodes, because he didn't have to ask the security team for their location, as they would find him.

Rhodes made things clear right from the start to reduce unnecessary misunderstandings:

"We are the wizards of Fairy Tail. The people behind us are members of the dark guild Black Unicorn. We captured them yesterday. These beasts are my summoned beasts. Don't worry."

"Um, ah, yes." The security captain who was supposed to be questioning them became the one being questioned.

"Can we let you take these guys in?"

"This... we need to confirm whether there are enough magic seal stone handcuffs in stock. If not, we can only ask the Council branch for help."

The security captain had never seen so many Dark Guild wizards gathered together in his life. Although none of them were awake, he was still a little panicked.

Rhode noticed some interesting information: "Has the Council of Advisers resumed operations?"

The security captain said: "Although it has not been fully restored, there is no problem for the branch to perform some of its functions."

Rhode nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you. I have one more thing I want to ask you."

"Just say it."

"Regarding the murder case near Ravendel Village half a month ago, I heard that it was committed by a wizard. We now have a suspect and hope to learn more information so that we can confirm it."

"No problem!" The security captain agreed readily. It would be a good thing if the case could be solved as soon as possible.

When it comes to issues involving wizards committing crimes, there is definitely no way they can handle it. The Council of Review obviously cannot take care of it right now, so it is a great thing that there are enthusiastic wizards who can spontaneously solve the problem.

This will also prevent nearby residents from panicking.

Rhodes helped escort the Black Unicorn's men to prison. It turned out that there were not enough Magic Sealing Stones in the town.

But Mira agreed to stay a little longer and try to extend the duration of the sleeping magic.

The captain expressed his gratitude and quickly asked someone to bring the case information.

Rhodes quickly browsed through it.

According to professional examinations, two types of scars appeared on the bodies of the five victims.

One is caused by wind magic, probably wind blade or other magic with strong cutting ability.

The other was caused by a sharp weapon. Judging from the shape of the wound, it might have been a sickle-like weapon.

Moreover, the murderer did not hesitate at all when he acted, and his moves were very neat.

In this way, it is basically confirmed that it is most likely that Eligore did it.

He is the most famous person for his destructive wind magic combined with his sickle weapon and cruel and decisive way of killing.

I just don't know who hired the killer. It will test Eli Gore's professional ethics and see if he is willing to tell the truth.
