Chapter 392 Simon, Enemy? Friend?
Rod was a little tired, so he summoned a tree monster to finish off the enemy, and then carefully checked the eagle and owl.
These three were notorious killers, and they were also well-known figures in the dark world, so they could not be careless at all.
After confirming that everything was correct, Rod breathed a sigh of relief and sent two river crabs out for patrol.
This battle killed almost all of his small wild monsters, which made him feel a little insecure.
Besides, he and Mira were both injured - although not seriously.
Rod briefly reviewed the battle: "Am I too despicable?"
"Who would say that they are despicable? In order to protect important people, this should be called resourceful." Mira said, "They came specifically to kill us."
"Yeah." Rod nodded, and then asked in confusion, "Is the important person who?"
Mira raised her fist, wondering if this person deserved a beating.
The tourists on the beach had run away since the beginning of the battle, and now there are only two standing and three lying here.
Rhode looked around and said, "Something is wrong. We have to go back to the hotel. We are fighting so hard, Erza and the others must have noticed it."
Mira also noticed something wrong: "They may have encountered an enemy too!"
The two hurriedly ran towards the hotel.
A black vortex suddenly appeared in front of them, and a tall man with his right arm exposed appeared in the vortex.
He wore a white turban on his head, a black eye mask on his left eye, and a circle of iron around his chin.
As soon as this man appeared, he complimented: "As expected of the fairy military strategist and the demon Mirajane, he can even deal with the three crows."
This appearance magic, Rhode saw at a glance that the black vortex and the dark magic he had seen in the room before were from the same person.
"Receive Mountain Dragon Soul!"
"Wait, I'm not your enemy!"
"Roar of the Mountain Dragon!"
Not an enemy? It was this guy who created the opportunity for the three crows to attack Mira!
Oh, helping the enemy before the fight, not showing up during the fight, and then jumping out after the fight to say that he is not an enemy, who would believe it?
Who do you help whoever wins?
Simon did not expect Rhode's attack to be so decisive. He barely took a defensive stance, and a black vortex formed in front of him as a shield.
But the rock storm easily broke the thin shield and blew Simon away.
"Wow!" Simon's headscarf was blown away, his clothes were torn, and countless bruises appeared on his body. He fell heavily to the ground and coughed.
Rhode frowned, and his appearance lines sounded like the mockery of the big boss behind the scenes, but his strength was so weak?
"I... cough cough... I was Erza's former companion..."
Rhode cast an inquiring look at Mira.
Mira shook her head gently: "I don't know him, maybe he is talking about before Erza joined the guild?"
"Yes, yes." Simon covered his chest and barely sat up.
Rhode was skeptical: "Since he is Erza's companion, why did he help the Three Crows attack us?"
"That magic is not to attack you." Simon's breath was smoothed, and he spoke a little more fluently.
"It was to kidnap Erza, and the Three Crows' mission was to hinder you two."
"???"
Rhode summoned the tree monster and let it hold this strange man in its palm with its claws so that it could crush him to death at any time.
Although it sounds like there is something hidden, you can't trust a stranger just because of a sentence.
"You'd better explain it clearly."
"Please listen to me slowly..."
Four people suddenly ran out of the hotel, and Natsu rushed to the front: "Rhode! Mira! Erza and Happy were kidnapped!"
Lucy lagged behind: "Mr. Rhode! Miss Mira!"
"Are you okay?" Gray followed, and there was a blue-haired girl in a dress beside him.
——Juvia, one of the four elements of the former Phantom.
This is not surprising. This girl has been secretly paying attention to Gray since she was released by the Council.
A few days ago, I secretly bought a pendant in the shape of the Fairy Tail emblem and wore it as a necklace. I just needed to muster up the courage to apply for membership.
She has changed so much that people who are not familiar with her dare not recognize her easily.
Rod and Mira's focus is not on Juvia, but on the words that Natsu shouted: "Erusa and Happy were kidnapped?!"
"A cube guy suddenly attacked me and took Happy away!" Natsu was furious, "Damn, I was tricked!"
"Yes!" Lucy said hurriedly, "I saw the cube guy. Erza and I were attacked by a blond, black-skinned person who can use card magic, and a catwoman! In addition to them, there is another..."
Lucy suddenly pointed at Simon who was caught by the tree monster: "Ah, that's him!"
Gray saw Simon's face clearly and said angrily: "Asshole, I was attacked by this guy! If I hadn't made a stand..."
He rushed up and asked: "Who are you?"
"Lord Gray, wait a minute! He may not be an enemy." Juvia stopped Gray and explained, "It is impossible for the caster of dark magic to not see clearly.
This person knew that Lord Gray used modeling magic to make a stand, but still chose to attack the stand and even helped to fake the scene."
Natsu clenched his fists and said angrily: "Asshole, return Erza and Happy!"
The companions' words were in a mess, and Rhode quickly sorted out the information.
Now, while he and Mira were attacked by the Three Crows, his companions were also attacked by the Three Crows' accomplices.
Erza and Happy were kidnapped, but Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Juvia were fine.
Juvia was wearing a Fairy Tail necklace, and I'm afraid anyone would think she was a Fairy Tail person. If they came for the guild, then she should also be listed as an attack target.
This is strange. These people are fine, how was Erza kidnapped?
Is there any special magic?
This iron chin is also strange. On the one hand, he helped those people attack them, and on the other hand, he helped Gray cover up;
On the one hand, he assisted others to kidnap Erza, and on the other hand, he claimed to be Erza's companion, as if he was going to tip off...
Double agent?
"Don't be chaotic, listen to me first!" In this situation, Rhode's words are quite important, "Do you know which direction they went?"
"Over there!" Natsu pointed in a direction. There was a vast ocean over there, and there was not even a shadow of a ship.
"Mira, find two small boats - ones that can hold all of us, and we'll go out to sea right away. Lucy, call a more reliable celestial spirit and ask him to go to the nearby town to find the communication magic crystal and report to the president. Natsu and Gray, tell me the intelligence of the people who attacked you."
The guy who can target Erza is definitely not an ordinary enemy, and he must be mobilized when it's time to mobilize.
Because they don't know their purpose, Erza and Happy may be in danger at any time, so they must act immediately and be prepared to wait for reinforcements.
The few people listened to Rhode's clear arrangement of the next affairs, and their chaotic thoughts and uneasy emotions calmed down a little.
"Juvia, you..." Rhode was not sure how to arrange this former enemy.
The safest way is to let her leave, but she is a strong fighting force, and after recent observations, she is indeed not hostile.
Juvia said without hesitation: "Juvia also wants to help, Juvia wants to join Fairy Tail."
I want to join Fairy Tail. This feeling has been told to Gray once, and it is much easier to say it now.
Even if it was Mira who had beaten her badly.
Rhodes looked at Gray.
"Take her with you. Juvia just protected me." Gray said, "I think I can trust her."
Lord Gray spoke for her!
"Juvia~~~~" Juvia made a cute sound, with hearts in her eyes, "Lord Gray!"
Gray sighed, "Forget it."
"Okay, then Juvia will be responsible for watching this guy. I can't trust him for the time being. I'll interrogate him on the way.
Action!"
(Simon is pitiful, but what he did is really stupid.
That card player Hugh is also very annoying.
But you can't blame them. They have been confined in the Tower of Paradise since childhood and have not received a normal education. It's normal for them to have weird thinking.)
