Chapter 357 Replenishing Mira's Energy
The review work of the Council is a bit cumbersome. After everyone has been questioned once, they have to be called over several times.
Sometimes it is to verify the confessions of their companions, sometimes it is to verify the confessions of the ghosts, and sometimes there is news from the Council headquarters, hoping to get some necessary testimony.
Insufficient testimony and evidence will be supplemented, and discrepancies will be re-checked.
The repeated investigation and questioning lasted for a whole week.
Rod felt that it was a bit long, but seeing that Lahar and the others were already working at full capacity, he couldn't complain.
Fortunately, everything is over.
Lahar announced that the investigation and evidence collection were all completed, and all members of Fairy Tail could go home.
Only Makarov may need to go to the Council again in a few days, and the final verdict will be officially issued at that time.
Things like compensation will also be announced at that time.
Joseph woke up three days ago, and it is not very convenient for him to move now. This time he will be taken directly back to the Council, and it is probably difficult for him to come out again.
Rhode glanced at him from a distance and felt that this man would be useless even if he was released. It was not that his body was too badly injured, but that his eyes had lost their spirit.
Being defeated by a group of people he thought were weaklings and ants might become a shadow of his life. If he could not get out of it, his magic power would probably decline.
It was easy to get out of the shadow, as long as he admitted that Fairy Tail was strong and that he and his guild had taken the wrong path.
But this was almost impossible for Joseph.
In addition to Joseph, some ordinary members who were stubborn were taken away, as well as Aria and Sol from the four elements, and the iron dragon Gajeel.
These people refused to admit their mistakes and did not show any repentance. They would be taken away for a few days for education. If they behaved well, they would be released. If they were worse, they would be sentenced to a short-term imprisonment.
The ruler of the Phantom was indeed forcibly disbanded, and the members of the headquarters and the branch were dismissed together.
Since the main responsibility was on Joseph, as long as they admitted their mistakes and had a good attitude, there was basically no punishment for ordinary members.
The only loss is that they have to pay for their own medical expenses and find another way to make a living.
Makarov generously said that if they don't know where to go, just come to Fairy Tail.
But no one among the hundreds of people was willing.
A few of them didn't even want to be wizards after this incident and were ready to do some small business.
Most of them were beaten too hard. Although they were moved by Makarov's tolerance, they couldn't let it go immediately.
Instead of joining Fairy Tail, they would rather try some small guilds.
Originally, they joined Phantom for the title of No. 1 in Fiore, but now think about it, it's not so easy to stay in the No. 1 guild.
There are many monsters in the guild, and the enemies of the guild may also be more terrifying monsters. They think it may be easier to stay in a small guild.
During the seven-day review period, the news of the battle between Fairy Tail and Phantom had already spread all over the country.
The details of the process have not been spread out yet, but rumors are flying everywhere. What everyone knows now is that the headquarters of the two guilds have been destroyed, the two presidents have fallen, and even the reason for the war is unclear.
Many civilians are worried about this. The Kingdom of Fiore has been peaceful for a long time. I don’t know if such a vicious incident will affect their lives.
When the judgment of the Council of Judges is officially made in a few days, this situation should be alleviated.
But before that, the former Phantom members who were fortunate enough to witness the scene of Joseph being knocked down leaked the news first.
Although Joseph was defeated by everyone, Mira, Erza, Rhodes and Natsu, who launched the last round of attacks, have gained a lot of reputation.
When more detailed news spread, Rhodes’s reputation as a fairy military strategist was known and recognized by more people.
They themselves were not very clear about these things, because they had just left the camp of the Council of Judges and immediately began to prepare for the reconstruction of the guild.
The first thing to do is to organize and transfer important information. The president will take the lead, and girls such as Levi, Lucy, and Lacy will be responsible (Eluza and Cana are excluded from the girls).
Erza is responsible for leading people to dismantle the old guild, sort out the usable materials, and sell or throw away the useless ones.
Natsu, Gray, and Elfman are particularly active in these things.
Mira and Rod are naturally responsible for purchasing necessary building materials such as stone and wood. Although Lacy can provide some wood, it is not good to squeeze too much.
In addition, the two of them have to hire some reliable craftsmen and ask professionals to revise the design drawings of the new guild.
The president and Lidas each drew a set these days, but one is too abstract and the other is too artistic, and it feels that they can't be used to guide construction.
After running around for most of the day, Rhode stopped and looked at the shopping list: "The only thing missing is paint, I can buy it later... Hey, I think I just passed by a hardware store?"
Mira shook her head: "That store is too expensive, let's go to West Street to buy it." She calculated and opened five fingers to Rhode, "We can save about this amount."
Mira's careful calculation was very cute, and Rhode grabbed the little hand shaking in front of him.
It was a white hand with neatly trimmed nails and thin fingers. No one would have thought that this little hand could split mountains and rocks.
Rhode's fingertips gently stroked a blood scab on the back of her hand: "Does it still hurt?"
Mira smiled: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a little itchy these two days." She said with a little distress, "I don't know if it will leave scars."
"It doesn't matter, I like scars all over my body." Rhode put her hand to his lips and kissed it. The scab part was hard, but the skin next to it was just as delicate.
Mira pulled out her hand and patted him gently: "You are the one with scars all over your body!"
"If you care about it, you can go to Wendy. Her magic to remove scars is also very good. But Xia Lulu may dislike it..."
Rhode acted as if he was ready to die, "It doesn't matter, I'll ask for it. At worst, I'll hug her thigh and beg her.
'Please, Wendy, Xia Lulu, as long as you can cure Mira, I can do anything!' How about I say this? Otherwise, add one more sentence..."
Mira said angrily: "What are you adding? It's not as exaggerated as you say."
She smiled, and all the little worries in her heart disappeared.
Then Rhode hugged her: "Well, now it's your turn to charge me."
"Charge?"
"It's probably equivalent to replenishing the magic power of the magic crystal." Rhode sniffed the fragrance on her hair gently, "I'm short of 'Mira Energy' and I need to replenish it urgently."
"Okay, okay~" Mira also hugged him.
After a while, she asked: "How long will you hold me?"
"Let's start with a hundred years."
