Chapter 252 Laharl and Doranbart
The enemy retreated.
Although I don’t know the reason, since a black firework rose into the sky, no one has bothered me anymore.
Mira had woken up, removed the bandages on Elfman and Rhodes' bodies, and treated their wounds carefully.
He even went to help Wei Na take care of it.
Rhodes doesn't dare to speak now. He has a younger brother who turned into a mummy after being taken out for a walk. He feels a little guilty.
Natsu and Happy went out to explore the road, and came back with a torch, or rather a branch burning with black flames.
"Rhode, is this the God-destroying magic you are talking about? Damn it, I can't eat it!"
Kana was surprised: "Fire that even Natsu can't eat?"
"That's it." Rhodes said, "God-destroying magic and dragon-destroying magic are both lost magics. That person claimed to be of a higher level than dragon-destroying magic. Now it seems that if not advanced, it is at least the same level."
"What kind of God-destroying magic!" Natsu said angrily, "I must eat it!"
Happy encouraged him: "Come on, Natsu!"
Natsu opened his mouth and took a bite into the black flames: "It's so hot! Damn it, it's been a long time since I felt the flames are hot!"
Erza nodded seriously: "It seems to be a very dangerous magic. Besides, Natsu, your training is not enough."
The way Erza said seriously that he didn't practice enough made Natsu even more angry: "I'll eat it for you now...it's so hot!"
Rhodes smiled, feeling that the tense atmosphere was swept away.
Although he was very tired, he still released all the useful little wild monsters to be on guard.
More than half an hour later, He Crab even found Devil's Heart's temporary camp.
But there was a black flame burning there, and it looked like they had really left, and they left in a hurry, with no time to pack their things.
Rhodes wondered: "Why did you leave suddenly?"
"They must be afraid of us, that God-Destroying Mage or something!" Natsu said, but there was still nothing he could do with the black fire.
Kana said: "I think there is something urgent."
"It doesn't matter if we retreat. Miss Vina's injury requires a stable place to rest." Mira paused, then added, the same goes for Elfman and Rhodes. "
Erza thought for a moment and said, "I remember there was a town on the way here. Let's go there first."
"It may take a while before we can leave." Rhodes said, "I saw people from the Senate."
…
Everyone went to see the team of the Senate near the Devil's Heart Camp.
The person in charge of leading the team this time is named Lahar. He wears glasses and has his hair tied up. He looks more like a civilian employee.
However, when Rhodes looked at him and his subordinates, he felt that they were different from those branch teams he had seen before.
It may be an elite unit directly under the Senate Headquarters.
They searched the mountains and forests for a while, 'picked up' some people who had been defeated by Elfman before and returned, as well as some corpses.
In the process, we also did the work of putting out fires.
Now some people are continuing to search, and some people are investigating around the burned-to-ash camp in the heart of the devil, hoping to get some clues.
Laharl took a few people to meet with everyone at Fairy Tail.
The point is to understand the situation with Rhodes, Elfman, and Mal.
"I want to go back to the village and have a look." Mal didn't want to say anything to the Council. Seeing that his sister's injury had stabilized, he wanted to go and see the situation in the village with his own eyes.
Rhodes said: "We only briefly searched the village and left. If you have extra manpower, please help us search for any survivors."
"Team 3, Team 4!" Lahar ordered without much hesitation,
"Accompany Mr. Marr to search and rescue survivors in Monotropa, and be sure to protect his safety!"
"yes!"
"Thank you." Mal thanked him and bowed specifically to Rhodes and Elfman. Mira said gently: "Don't worry, we will take good care of Miss Vina."
"thank you."
Mal left with two squads of white-robed soldiers.
Only then did Lahar ask about the details of the incident between Rhodes and Elfman.
Rhodes simply started from the time when he and Elfman took over the task, briefly talked about it, and then waited for the other party to ask questions.
It was the first time for Lahar to experience such efficient communication. In the past, he often had to spend more words to get the same amount of information when conducting investigations.
In fact, Rhodes just wanted to finish his work early and rest early.
"Did you remember everything?"
The recorder nodded.
Laharl added: "Thank you for your cooperation. One final confirmation, do you know the devil's heart purpose?"
"It's unclear. Judging from the results, they were for the 'Tears of Chris', and the arrest of Mal and Vina seemed more incidental.
But if you think about it more deeply, you can't rule out that these are all just a cover. They just want to destroy the village, or they have other purposes. "
Rhodes felt that Lastiros's actions were quite strange. He seemed to have heard him say something like, 'Fighting with you can barely make my heart tremble'.
He doesn't quite understand the thoughts of this kind of middle-class young man.
"How much do you know about the Tears of Chris?"
"I have only heard some legends, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Mr. Peter did not explain this before his death. You can ask Mal and Vina later."
"Information about the Seven Families of Purgatory..."
"I've just given you the general information. I'll compile a more detailed report after I return to the guild, and I'll send one to the Council."
Rhode plans to get a detailed report with portraits, magic effects, personality analysis, and targeted strategies, and then hang it up in the guild for everyone to see.
Strive to kill them no matter who encounters them in the future, or... at least escape from them.
Damn it, they dared to beat him and Elfman like that...I might as well make a few more copies, let the president take them to the regular meeting, and then copy them to all the major guilds.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
"We also want to thank the Council for your timely help."
In fact, Rhode now suspects that the Council team made too much noise when they came, and was noticed by the Devil's Heart, so they hurriedly withdrew.
Anyway, it's a good thing for them.
"Please tell Mr. Mal that we are taking Miss Vina to the town to rest. Please ask him to meet us there later."
Lahar suggested: "Why not let me take care of Miss Vina? We have brought professional medical staff with us."
"Sorry, this requires Mr. Mal's consent." Rhodes declined, "We just promised to take care of her."
Lahar did not force it and watched them leave.
A flat-headed guy suddenly appeared: "This is unlike you, Lahar, I thought you would be more rigid, such as detaining them?"
"Don't underestimate me, Dolanbart. Even if I have some prejudices against them, I will not abuse my power."
Lahar shook his head, "They are not criminals, not even suspects. But you, haven't you processed your memory, is it necessary to hide from them?"
"It's better to be careful when doing my job." Dolanbart, or Meister, said with regret,
"It's a pity that I didn't catch their handle last time, and I didn't encounter the devil's heart this time... Damn, if this goes on, when will I be able to make merit and get promoted!"
"You really don't hide it at all."
Lahar doesn't like "official fans", but people like Dolanbart who work diligently to make merit are another matter.
"Do you want to participate in the interrogation? This time, many people with the devil's heart were caught, and you will be busy next."
