Chapter 7: The Quest (Revision)
A few days passed, and Lisanna's death allowed Mirajane and Elfman to gradually come out of their injuries and begin to resume their jobs, but it didn't take long for Qin Xiu to be depressed, and Mirazhen robbed him of his job.
Mirajan took a job in order to get out of the shadows, but failed, after thinking for a while, he decided not to be a magician for the time being, Makanov agreed to Mirajan to work at the bar, and at the same time recorded the tasks in the union to accept the release, Qin Xiu so that he, the waiter, was laid off, and Mirajan, the receptionist, went to the front line, not only that, Mirajan's personality also changed. There is also a worry in the union, usually Mirazhen is dressed as a ** girl, but at this time she is dressed as a lady, and her arrogant smile has become a gentle smile, which also makes everyone in the union feel unreal.
Mirajan seems to look much more beautiful than before, which is also the thought of everyone.
"Mira, are you really alright?" asked Gray, finally plucking up his courage.
"It's okay," Mirajan said with a smile on her face, her voice gentle.
"Mira, you don't want to be like this, you're not used to us like this, why don't you go back to the way you used to be," Gray said.
"Isn't that good? Why do you want to go back to the way it was," said Mirajan.
"Let's rest assured, we're not at ease when you look like this," Gray said.
The voices of the people also rang out in the union.
Mirazhen looked at the worried eyes of everyone around and smiled slightly, "I don't want to change back, this is what I've been thinking about for a long time, thank you for your concern, I'm really fine"
"It's nothing, but Mira is unemployed because of you," Marcao said.
"I really like Mira to be a bar lady, how nice it is," Wakaba said.
"I think so, too, that the value of a male waiter is far less valuable than that of a hostess," Makanov interjected.
"President, why are you like this, although I don't care who serves at the bar, but Ah Xiu has not learned magic now, and he can't do the work of receiving commissions," a female voice said, she was Elusa Scarlett, and Mirajane was an S-class magician of the same level. Like Mirajan, she is also dressed strangely, wearing a pair of armor all day long.
"You don't have to worry, Ah Xiu's true strength is far beyond your imagination, even if Ah Xiu can't do magic now, his combat power is still very high," Makanov said.
"What do you mean, President?" Alusa wondered.
"That's what it means, Asho's combat ability is no less than that of Gray and Natsu, I mean the ability to fight," Makanov said.
"What are you talking about, President?" said Elusa suspiciously, looking around and noticing Qin Xiu's figure.
"Where's Ashu?" asked Elusa.
"Went to work," Makanov said.
"What?" said the union at the same time.
"What job?" asked Gray.
"Go and destroy the bandits in Ali Village," Makanov said lightly.
"President, it turns out that you took that power of attorney yesterday for Ah Xiu," Mirazhen said in surprise.
"Are you sure Ashu can do this task, President?" asked Elusa.
"Rest assured, he's absolutely fine," Makanov said.
"But the power of attorney says the leader of the bandits knows some earth-based magic," Mirajan said.
"President, you're such a mess," Elusa said, standing up.
"Mira, Ali Village is the lonely village in Alishan," Elusa asked.
"Well, I've been there before, it's a very isolated village," Mirajan said.
"So, I'll take a look," Elusa walked out of the union.
"President, how could you let Ah Xiu do such a dangerous task, if Ah Xiu was injured or even lost his life because I lost my job, what would you let me do" Mirajan cried as she spoke.
"Alas, Mira, don't cry, I told Ashur that he's fine, look, Elusa is gone, he'll be fine," Makanov said in horror.
"That's right, I just hope that Ah Xiu will be safe," Mirajan stopped crying, holding her hands and praying on her chest.
Seeing this, Makanov sighed and thought depressedly, "I don't believe what I say, Axiu's child has studied physical arts for five years, and there are so weak ones, although I am also a little worried that Elusa will go, I am also relieved"
At this time, Qin Xian sat in the direction of going to Alishan, which is in the east of the Fiore Kingdom, and Harugion is also, he first went home and told Ouli about his own affairs before going to Alishan, Alishan basically does not belong to the sphere of influence of the Fiore Kingdom, but for some reasons it is under the jurisdiction of the Fiore Kingdom, because of the remoteness of the location, there is such a thing, and at the same time, there is no existence of the Wizard Guild, because of the incident of the bandits, so the tail of the goblin of the famous Wizard Guild who is also in the east of the Fiore Kingdom is entrusted to eliminate the bandits。 (Fairy Tail is indeed in the eastern part of the Fiore Kingdom, which I didn't scribble.)
It takes nearly half a day to make a train, and Qin Xiu still needs to walk a long way to reach Alishan, which is the main communication route between Alishan and the outside world, and is also an important land transportation channel for the kingdom.
I got information from the city of Ulamole at the foot of Alishan Mountain, some caravans' goods were stranded in the city, and the merchants were very anxious because they could not be transported out, and the bandits who suddenly appeared here made them very annoyed.
"It seems that we can't delay, let's deal with them now" Qin Xiu muttered to himself and walked towards Alishan.
Along a flat mountain road to a somewhat narrow place, according to the people along the way, this is the road, because of the huge stones on both sides of the road, the road is narrow, and this is where the bandits lurk, and look around and see that there is a large row of trees in the distance on the right, which is very suitable for ambushes.
"I don't know how many people will be ambushed there, just now that aunt said that there are at least nearly a hundred bandits in this gang, this kind of task alone can't deal with all of them with so many bandits," Qin Xiu thought to himself.
"Really, there is such an intelligence mission, doesn't it mean that there are only a dozen or so people, that stinky old man Makanov" Qin Xiu couldn't help but scold.
Magnolia
"Ahh
"Oh no, President, Ah Xiu's commission has risen, according to the latest information, I don't know that a group of people from there have joined that gang of bandits, the number has reached more than a hundred, it seems that some mercenary union members" Mirajan suddenly shouted.
Makanov's movement of drinking tea stopped instantly, and he coughed violently.
"What did you say, the mercenary guild got into that gang of bandits?" asked Makanov.
"Well, at Asho's speed, I'm afraid Ashu has already arrived, and Elusa is probably still a few hours away, and it would be bad if Ashu did it alone," Mirajan said.
"It's okay, don't worry, Ashu shouldn't be an impulsive person, I think he should wait until he's better before acting," Makanov comforted himself.
"Really?" Mirajan wondered.
"Well, of course" Makanov nodded, took another sip of tea, and thought in his heart, "How can this happen, even if Ashu's child has studied mercenary physical skills for five years and has strong combat effectiveness in close combat, but he also faces mercenaries, he doesn't have much chance of winning, and his combat experience is too poor" Makanov was depressed for a while, how could there be a mercenary?
At this time, Qin Xiu was thinking about how to break them one by one, and after thinking about it, he could only find that the time and place were favorable, and there was no hope for a forced breakthrough, the head of the bandit was an earth-based magician who could use the magic of the earth to cast some traps on the ground, and it was very likely that he would fall into the trap, even if his physical skills were good, he could only be slaughtered by others if he fell into the soil.
This task is also to be done by himself, Mi Lazhen took over his job in the union bar, if he does not accept the commission of the trade union bulletin board, not only will he have no money to live but also no money to pay the rent, thinking of the sadness in Mi Lazhen's eyes makes Qin Xiu's heart touch.
Qin Xiu stood in place for a long time, and finally strode to the front.
When Qin Xiu walked between the two big stones, a trace of vigilance flashed in his heart, and there was someone behind the stones, and he stepped forward again without hesitation.
"Stop, kid" Suddenly two knives were on Qin Xiu's neck, making Qin Xiu stop, although he had already advanced to this, he was still a little nervous in his heart.
"I'm just passing by, I don't have any money," Qin Xiu said as he looked left and right at the thief who had the knife on his neck.
"There are only two people, then there must be someone in ambush, you must not shoot casually, once you make a move, maybe there will be arrows shooting at you" Qin Xiu said secretly in his heart.
"Don't talk nonsense, go" one of the thieves said, holding Qin Xiu with a knife and walking towards the right mountain, which happened to be the place where Qin Xiu suspected that there were other bandits ambushing just now.
"Where is it really true," Qin Xiu said secretly.
Soon Qin Xiu was escorted to the woods, and there were many people sitting in the shade of the trees, and there were about twenty people, and these twenty or so people were sitting here so as to prevent them from being seen by the people under the mountain, because in the shadows behind the trees, it was not easy to notice.
"Boss, it's caught," one of the thieves who was holding Qin Xiu said to a middle-aged man with a stubble face in the crowd.
"Hey, boy, who are you and why are you hesitating for a long time," the middle-aged Great Khan asked.
"I, I'm just a passerby, I heard that there are bandits here, so I hesitated," Qin Xiu explained.
The middle-aged man looked at Qin Xiu and frowned, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the other side of the mountain," Qin Xiu said.
"Over the mountain, over the mountain," the middle-aged man roared
"It's the other side of the mountain," Qin Xiu shook his head to the left.
"Is that side of the mountain?" the middle-aged man had a trace of green tendons on his forehead.
"It's this side of the mountain to the other side of the mountain," Qin Xiu said.
"Flutter," some of the bandits around laughed.
"Bastard, you actually dare to trick me, take it for me, and see what he has on him" The middle-aged man looked at the bandits who were laughing around and scolded with bruised heads, pointed at Qin Xiu angrily, and the two thieves who were holding Qin Xiu with knives immediately put away Qin Xiu's body
"Wait, I don't have any money, I really don't have any money" Qin Xiu hurriedly shouted.
Soon, the two thieves collected Qin Xiu's body.
"Boss, there's really no money," said the bandit.
"Really, not a penny, but the tattoo on his hand is strange," said another bandit.
Qin Xiu secretly screamed when he heard it.
"Tattoos, what tattoos, show me," said the middle-aged man.
"Okay, the boss is the one under his wrist, some of the tattoos similar to those mercenaries who just joined us," the thief said, grabbing Qin Xiu's left hand and pulling his wrist in front of the middle-aged man.
Qin Xiu's lower body tensed at this time, and he began to accumulate strength, ready to attack at any time.
As soon as the middle-aged man saw the trade union constitution of the fairy tail on Qin Xiu's wrist, he was shocked and said, "This is the ......" The middle-aged man was kicked to the ground by Qin Xiu before he finished speaking, and the middle-aged man who was successfully attacked by Qin Xiu was immediately kicked to the ground, and the thieves also reacted, and hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed towards Qin Xiu.
"It's the enemy"
"Catch him," the bandits shouted at the same time.
Seeing this, Qin Xiu quickly kicked away the two thieves who had just put the knife on his neck, and quickly retreated.
"Hurry up and release the signal flare, he is the magician of the fairy tail" shouted the middle-aged man who had just been kicked to the ground by Qin Xiu.
"It's really disadvantageous to be recognized" Qin Xiu thought depressedly, and at the same time, the footsteps under his feet did not stop at all, he had to evacuate quickly and think of a better way. Otherwise, he alone is not the opponent of this hundred or so people at all.
