Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Missing Thunder Dragon
In front of the office of President Fairy Tail Makarov
Renaud sighed softly, he didn't know how many times he had been running here for a while, and every time he communicated with the old man, it meant that something tricky had happened.
Relenting, he knocked softly on President Makarov's door.
"Come in." A tired voice came from the door.
When Renault walked into the house, he didn't see the little old man who was kind and majestic at first glance. For on his huge desk was a thick stack of files that were about to bury the poor president. It wasn't until Reynolds approached that he realized President Makarov's pale face and bloodshot eyes.
"You...... It's okay. Is this what happened again? Why do you have to do everything yourself, and let someone else take care of it for you? Renault looked at the tired old man and said unbearably. Serving at the helm of this collective, known as the First Guild, is both a supreme honor and an infinite pressure. It's not just that the guild members occasionally act out of proportion, but in fact, with the exception of certain characters, everyone is quite restrained in the process of carrying out their tasks. The real difficulty is dealing with various affairs related to the guild.
Don't think that being a president is just a matter of sitting there, as a manager, the big and small affairs in the guild have to be handled by this old man. For example, dealing with other guilds, arguing with the Magic Council, and cheating from kings and princesses...... Fight for more resources, compete with other competitors for assignments, and beware of dark guilds and organizations hostile to Fairy Tail...... There is too much work, just listing it can make people head two big, let alone deal with it personally. Otherwise, how do you think the Giant's Magic will be learned?
There is a saying that "if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight", and the old man Makarov has experienced so many ups and downs, and he has become accustomed to this kind of hard life, or he also enjoys this kind of fulfilling life. So for Renault's care, he just smiled kindly.
"That guy from Kildas has gone on to challenge that [Centennial Mission], if it were him, maybe he could really complete it. He left a few years ago, not long after the S-rank Demon Promotion Exam ended, and he didn't tell anyone, including his own daughter, before he left. ”
"Kana...... I don't want others to worry about him, after all, it's a task that no one has completed for a hundred years. Speaking of which, Mr. Kildas is the kind of character who hides gentleness under a rough appearance. Renault sighed.
"Isn't that the point? The point is that he didn't tell anyone the news that he was going to leave, so the mayor didn't have time to activate the [Kildas Mode], and there were seventeen or eighteen houses destroyed by him along the way, including two large shops, do you know how much money you have to lose? ”
"Uh......" Renault couldn't think of anything to excuse the "confused dad" for a while.
"Forget it, the older the guy, the less worry-free it is, let's talk about your side of the matter, there should be good news, right, I need to cheer myself up now, so that I feel that my efforts are worth it." The president pointed to the pile of dossiers.
"Anyway, it should be a mixed blessing." Renaud rubbed his forehead and considered the wording of the report to the president, "The good news is that the demon god in Mira's body has been suppressed, and although it has paid some price, it is always within the range of bearability. The bad news is...... She may not be able to use magic again in a short period of time, so the guild has lost an S-class magician. ”
President Makarov nodded, but there was not much disappointment on his face, on the contrary, he said with great relief: "It doesn't matter, there is actually no need for so much combat power in the guild, we old things have not yet reached the point of dying, and we can still protect you." Mira, the kid has endured too much, so it's better to let her rest and rest. ”
This was indeed true, as the head of the guild, how could President Makarov not be aware of Mila's problem, but he had no good way to help the poor child, but he could only take care of her as much as possible in some places. Now that he heard that the shackles on this girl had finally been removed, the old man was also relieved.
"One more thing...... Probably good news. Renault whispered, then uncovered his chest, revealing his smooth and unmarked chest.
"That engraved ...... yours," Old Man Makarov exclaimed, but then lowered his voice and looked at Renault cautiously.
Renault himself said very easily: "It's okay, now 'those guys' can't do anything with me." ”
When the old man heard this, his smile became more and more intense, his pressure was too great for a while, and the successive good news finally made him feel a little relieved. He asked, "What's the matter, that kind of magic circle can't be easily broken, otherwise it wouldn't be called vicious." ”
"In principle, I should have 'died' once." Reynolds touched the location of his heart, and O'Rewin's explanation echoed in his head. Although this guy was vague on some information, he explained the destruction circle on his body quite carefully.
"One of my astral spirits has somehow used a method to make a hole in me...... In short, this hidden danger can be regarded as solved. "Because that method sounds too magical, and he doesn't want the president to have any special fantasies, so he just passes by." But I have a special idea about it......"
"Are you serious?" After listening to Renault's thoughts, Makarov's expression can be described as very wonderful. After all, this idea can't be described as imaginative, it's simply incredible.
"It's man-made, and maybe it's necessary." Renault shrugged, "Be prepared." ”
"Let's discuss this matter later, I can't just decide it for you." President Makarov said, staring into Renault's eyes.
Renault nodded with a flat mouth, he didn't expect the president to accept his proposal all at once.
"By the way, there's one more thing that you might need to run." President Makarov said suddenly.
"Huh? What's wrong with it again? ”
"Do you remember your last mission?" President Makarov sighed heavily, "Ragsas, and all the members of the [Thor's]...... Missing! ”
