NOVEL WEB Chapter 46
"Grandpa, why is Grandpa Rob there?" Leila knew the outcome of the matter, but he still needed to ask for some details.
"Two days ago, I didn't hear from Rob, so I went to his village to visit him, but the villagers said he had been out for a while and hadn't come back yet. He usually doesn't do this. Makarov looked serious and told Leila the whole story.
"How long exactly?!" Leila's voice was a little anxious
"It was about ten days ago. We didn't write to each other often. I contacted him a few days ago, but I didn't receive a reply until yesterday. Who knew he had been missing for so long? Makarov regretted it and blamed himself for not noticing it earlier.
"Now, what I am most worried about is whether Grandpa Rob can survive." Leila frowned, her expression serious, and she was a little worried.
"Alas, if Rob hadn't had this disease, he wouldn't have suffered this misfortune. I really hope he won't do anything stupid again. His body can't stand it. Makarov sighed.
""It's okay, old man. The current situation is still optimistic. I can still clearly sense Grandpa Rob's location, which means he is doing well." Leila comforted
"Therefore, the most urgent task is to eradicate this Paradise Tower, eliminate the Black Magic Cult, and report to the Magic Council, after all, there are still many civilians being used as slaves." Makarov briefly explained the current situation and also thought about what to do next.
"The old man is really far-sighted."Leila praised
"Stop flattering me. Where is the exact location of that tower? Makarov couldn't wait any longer.
"Near the coast of Ka Erlum, the train will arrive at Harukion in the afternoon, and I will take you directly to the Tower of Paradise."
"Well, I will contact Yajima now, I hope it is not too late."
After Leila and Makarov finished their discussion and made a plan, Makarov contacted Yajima with the communication magic crystal and explained in detail the matter of Rob and the Tower of Paradise.
After hearing the news, Yajima solemnly told Makarov that he must bring Rob back. Makarov nodded heavily, and then Yajima said that he would hold a meeting and send troops over.
After the communication ended, Leila and Makarov began to recuperate and waited quietly for the train to start. Makarov also pretended to be calm. Fortunately, Leila was there, otherwise it would be difficult to find news about Rob.
He looked out the window, looking at the scenery absent-mindedly, and kept praying, Rob must hold on, I will come to save you soon.
At the same time, he was suppressing a rage in his heart. He hadn't been so angry for a long time. Dare to hurt his family, that is to be my enemy.
"Dear passengers, we have arrived at Harugeon City. Passengers who want to get off please hurry up and get off."
A clear voice sounded from the carriage broadcast, and the attendant opened the carriage door. Makarov and Leila got off the train quickly. After walking out of the station, they walked to a corner on the street, and their figures instantly disappeared into the alley.
Leila moved quickly in the direction of the Tower of Paradise. After several teleportations, they finally arrived at the island. From a distance, they could see that the tower had been built for a long time. It was estimated to be dozens of meters high, but nearly a quarter of the tower had been built.
There are many sentry towers on the island, but there seems to be no sentry stationed there now. Leila appeared on the island with Makarov openly, and looked around and found nothing unusual.
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the tower. The two looked at each other and thought to themselves that something was wrong.
"Leila, where is Rob?" Makarov saw something was happening and couldn't suppress his anxiety.
"I'll take you there." Leila held Makarov's shoulders, activated magic, and instantly teleported to where Grandpa Rob was.
"Rob!" Makarov's eyes moistened when he saw the thin Rob.
"Pony?! Leila!"Rob paused, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the voice, his face full of joy.
"Hey, Grandpa Rob, how are you?" Leila saw Rob and greeted him with a smile on her face.
"Well, I'm fine." Rob looked at Leila with a smile, walked over and touched Leila's head, but the pale face and thin figure showed that his health was very poor.
"Okay, I'll deal with them first, and you two can chat." Leila then rushed towards the surrounding black magic cultists, leaving behind a spell to create a barrier around Rob and Makarov.
"Xiao Ma, how did you get here?" Seeing that the surrounding environment was temporarily safe, Rob put down the shovel in his hand with a sense of relief and turned to Makarov to ask
"Of course, Leila brought me here. You said that, but I was so worried. What happened to you? How did you get caught here?"Makarov said unhappily, and then asked Rob with concern.
"Haha, I was on my way to a village when I saw a group of black magic cults grabbing some kids, and then……"Rob smiled bitterly and recounted the situation one by one.
"Then you got carried away and tried to save those children, but ended up being caught here?" Makarov pouted and looked at Rob with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.
""Yeah." Rob felt a little disappointed. Not only did he fail to save the children, but he also got himself into trouble and finally caused trouble for Xiao Ma.
"Well, it's all over, Rob!" Makarov patted Rob's shoulder gently.
"Grandpa Rob, let me remove your handcuffs for you." Leila easily knocked down all the enemies around her, and then saw the handcuffs on Rob's hands and walked to Rob's side.
"Can you untie it? Leila"
""Yes." Leila pulled Rob's arm and carefully felt the magic in the handcuffs. Then, with a crisp sound, the handcuffs opened and fell to the ground.
""Huo." Rob moved his wrist and felt a sense of relief.
"That old man, Grandpa Rob, there is nothing to do here, I will go up to help the others."Lila immediately prepared to rescue the others in the upper area
"Do you have enough magic power? Don't force yourself to teleport all the way here!" Makarov said with a worried look on his face.
"Don't worry, old man, I'm not stupid. If I can't beat you, won't I just run away?" Leila replied with a smile.
"That's good." Makarov knew that Leila would not lie, so he felt relieved.
"By the way, Leila, can you go to the punishment room on the upper floor and help me save a child?"Rob called Leila who was about to leave.
"Okay, what does he look like?" Leila asked
"He has short sky blue hair and a very obvious tattoo on his right eye. Rob described the child's characteristics.
"OK, I understand." Leila nodded and turned away.
"Leila is getting better and better." Rob looked at Leila's back as she left.
"Yes, the child has grown up, but this brat is too lazy. He does nothing all day and just stays in the guild."Makarov couldn't help but sigh, and then he complained to Rob, looking like he was disappointed with him.
"Xiao Ma, I met two very interesting little guys here."Rob said with a smile, and the figures of the two people appeared in his mind.
"Oh, is it so?"
"One is the child I asked Leila to save just now. He is very talented. The other is that girl. I believe she will become a powerful wizard in the future."Rob walked to the edge of the platform and pointed to the little girl in the front row of the crowd.
"Hmm?"Makarov followed Rob and followed the direction of Rob's finger. He saw the unique existence at a glance.
The two stood on the edge of the platform and looked at the girl holding a shield and a sword in the crowd. She had short crimson hair, but it was a pity that her right eye was tightly bandaged.
"I didn’t expect to see such a smile in a place like this."
