Chapter 302 Writing novels is so dangerous
Rebby has always been interested in book-related tasks.
However, just for retrieving a book, you can get 200,000 J. This reward is already considered abnormally high, so Lebby hesitated for a day.
As a result, I learned today that I was picked up and the reward was increased to 2 million.
This made Lebby a little...happy.
Although she was unwilling to do so, tasks with such high remuneration were generally beyond her capabilities.
It’s hard to say what the consequences will be if you accept it rashly.
Mira encouraged: "Find another suitable one."
Loki had already hid in a corner, quietly wiped his hands with cold sweat, and slipped away when no one was paying attention.
Forget it about Lucy, the real Celestial Mage, but Rhodes, the fake Celestial Mage, why do you call Leo's Gate?
I feel like it’s becoming increasingly impossible to stay in the guild.
"Here, two beers!"
"Here we come..." Rhodes sent two glasses of wine over, "Makao? You're here to drink before your injury heals?"
"This kind of injury is a piece of cake!"
"It's just a crusade against Vulcan that can lead to such injuries, and you still have the nerve to brag?" Wakaba puffed out a puff of smoke, slapped the table and laughed, "Kill Macao!"
Rhodes glanced at him. You were the one who looked the ugliest when there was no news about Makao. How come you were the one who mocked him the most after knowing that he was fine?
"What did you say? 18, I defeated 18!" Makao stood up and leaned forward, "If it were you, it would be 17 at most! No, 16!"
Wakaba also stood up and pressed his forehead against his: "I have at least 19, no, 20!"
"16!"
"20! Don't think that I will let you go if you get hurt!"
"15! Don't think you can compare to me just because I'm injured!"
"twenty one!"
"14!"
"Is this some kind of novel auction?" Rhodes didn't bother to care about them, feeling that this fight wouldn't be possible today.
…
Three days flew by.
"Partially received·Claw of the Mountain Dragon!"
Rhodes moved his dragon claws to get used to it, then clenched his fist and smashed it on the ground: "Fist of the Mountains!"
Bang!
Centered around his fist, the ground rumbled, and a crack extended from the center of the guild yard to the door.
Rhodes was not satisfied, so he adjusted his force method and punched again.
This time the extended distance was shorter, but the effect was that spider web-like cracks appeared on the ground centered on the fist, and the earth and rocks below the ground were also shattered by the punch.
"It feels like a bit of a show. Is this considered a strange power?"
Rhodes carefully checked the fence. Although it was not broken, this type of move was really not suitable for practicing in the yard.
"Repair the ground...whole-body reception·Mountain Dragon!"
"Earth magic...feel the magic of earth, the power of the earth, together!"
The broken ground was put back together, but a calf-high earth bag bulged out.
The cracks from the first punch also gathered together, forming a ridge as well.
"It's still easy to use too much force." Rhodes shook his head to dispel the receiving magic, and it was time to go to work.
It's not too tiring just to absorb it all over the body.
As soon as Rhodes entered the door, he saw Lucy complaining to Mira about not getting paid:
"Lucy, are you back? Where are Natsu and Happy?" "There." Lucy pointed weakly. Natsu and Happy were messing around in the tavern like nothing happened.
Lucy was a little bit shocked because she failed to get paid for her first official mission.
"What happened?" Rhodes sat next to Mira naturally.
Mira prepared towels and water for him.
"Actually..." Lucy told the story of the mission.
It turns out that the client, Kirby Menlo, is the son of the famous novelist Kem Saleo (Renqua Menlo).
The mission was to remove the stain on his father's writing career.
—Kem Saleo was once imprisoned by Duke Aibar for three years and was asked to write a novel with Duke Aibar as the protagonist.
Then he wrote the book "DAYBREAK (Dawn, Breaking, Sunrise.
After being released home, he claimed that he had written a bad book, cut off the hand that held the pen, and died in depression shortly after.
Kirby believed that the existence of this book was an insult to his father, so he wanted to burn it.
But Lucy unlocked the magic hidden in the book, rearranged all its words, and "DAYBREAK" became "DEARKABBY".
The content also changed from a bad story to a letter to his son, and the book was accepted by Kirby as his father's best work.
"That's it, because the previous client increased the reward and changed the request from 'get the book' to 'destroy' the book.
Natsu then said that since the mission was not completed without destroying the book, he could not accept payment considering the reputation of the guild. "
Two million! Although Lucy could understand what Natsu was doing, she still felt heartbroken.
"I saw a work by Kem Sareo, and I didn't expect him to go through something like this."
While Rhodes was supplementing his knowledge, he also didn't forget to learn about some literary works. Although he didn't read enough books, he still read a few works by such famous writers.
"Writing novels is a really dangerous profession. If you're not careful, you may be locked up by readers to press for manuscripts. If you can't write, you won't be given food."
"That kind of thing is an extreme case!" Lucy felt sad. In fact, she was also secretly writing a novel... She wouldn't encounter such crazy people in the future, would she?
"I hope." Rhodes asked again, "What about the Duke? Illegal imprisonment does not seem to be within the privileges of the nobles, right?"
"We helped Mr. Kirby collect some incriminating evidence. The Hilozmen City Government plans to investigate him, and then because he is a magician, the Senate will also intervene."
Lucy and Natsu did a great job of wrapping things up.
Lucy was a little frustrated: "My first job..."
Mira comforted: "Although she didn't get paid, Lucy read the best work first, isn't it great?"
"That's what I said." Lucy really felt honored to be able to witness this great work full of love,
"But I still want to come to Miss Mira and ask you for the secret after I complete the task."
"What's the secret?"
"This is the secret to Mr. Rhodes becoming stronger. Habib said that Mr. Rhodes was given to Miss Mira for safekeeping."
Rhodes wondered: "I have the secret to becoming stronger? Why don't I know?"
"Did they lie to me!?" Lucy wanted to settle accounts with them.
Mira thought for a while: "If I insist on saying it, it is true."
"What what?"
"Wait a minute." Mira rummaged around and took out three pieces of paper, "That's it."
Lucy took it over eagerly and looked at it: "Push-ups, sit-ups, meditation, long-distance running, practicing magic... what is this?"
"Rhodes' training schedule, including the original version, the later extreme training version, and the later revised version, are all here."
"But... the first one can still be considered as hard work, the second and the third one... this kind of intensity will kill people, right?"
