Fairy Tail Light of Lorne
Chapter 14
Harut is a very wealthy city in the Kingdom of Fiore, with a strong commercial atmosphere, most of the people in this city are mainly engaged in the work of goods exchange, and all kinds of goods are transported here every day, and all kinds of goods are transported out. The city of Harut is easily accessible, with a straight road leading to the rest of the city in the north and south. Trains were also built in the city to carry people to and from the city.
Because of the developed commerce and frequent circulation of goods, it was favored by a gang of about 100 bandits who wandered here. This gang of bandits has been entrenched in the mountains near the city of Harut since they arrived here half a year ago. Specialized in robbing caravans coming in and out of the city of Harut. Due to the large number of bandits, few caravans robbed by this gang of bandits survived. Simply, as long as the goods are left obediently, this gang of bandits will not hurt people's lives. It's a good thing to be thankful for. However, allowing this gang of bandits to roam the vicinity greatly affected the commercial development of Harut City. This made the merchants of Harut City very nerve-wracking, and in desperation, these merchants had to send a commission to the Wizards Guild, hoping to use the power of the Wizards to solve this group of bandits that had been bothering them.
To say that a gang with the nature of the underworld like the bandits may be very popular in the world of Lorne's previous life, but in this world where magic is prevalent, it is completely incompatible. Soon, a sorcerer accepted the commission, and under the blow of the sorcerer, the gang of bandits could no longer do what they wanted, and more than thirty companions were captured.
It stands to reason that since they have been hit by the magician, they can no longer rob smoothly, so it's a big deal to change places, anyway, their bandits are constantly changing places. However, I don't know if I tasted the sweetness or what. This gang of bandits actually died near the city of Harut.
Moreover, this time these guys have learned to be smart, every time they make a robbery, they have to investigate, once a magician comes, they either endure it for a period of time and do not rob, or they run away when they meet a girl, anyway, there are many of them, and they run around, these magicians can't do anything about them, even if they are caught up by the magician and catch a few people, the people who can be caught are not painful at all compared to the gang of more than a hundred people. And these magicians who came to accept the commission couldn't stay here forever, so they had to stop in the end.
Since then, there have been many waves of magicians to accept commissions, however, although these magicians are much stronger than the bandits, but the speed is not very fast, it is easy for them to defeat the bandits, and it is difficult to catch these bandits who are bent on escaping. So in the end, he could only admit that he couldn't complete the commission, and he walked away, and as soon as these magicians left, this gang of thieves came out again, continuing to rob and rob.
In this way, this commissioned task, which is not very difficult for the magician, has been delayed again and again, and the reward has also risen again and again, and now the reward for this commission has increased to 1 million J, which is close to the S-level commission reward. Lorne picked him up.
......
According to Lorne, three days after accepting the commission.
"Lorn-kun, why are you going in the wrong direction again, really, didn't that uncle just say it just now? "
Locke, who looked at Lorne without paying attention and walking in the opposite direction from his goal, held his forehead and said helplessly. This kind of thing has happened many times along the way, and now Locke does not dare to let Lorne out of his sight for a moment, because Locke only needs to make a mistake, Lorne is likely to get lost, and then ask Locke to find Lorne who has lost his way and is running around the street.
That's why. The destination that could be reached in two days was delayed for an extra day in order to find Lorne.
"Oh, what's the matter, isn't there still Locke, we're partners, anyway, with you, I will never get lost, will I
?"
Although extremely reluctant to admit it, Lorne, who knew his ability to get lost, had to compliment Locke against his will. No compliments, and without Locke, Lorne could not have been assured that he would be able to walk to Harut City alone. Therefore, in order to be able to complete the commission, it is still necessary to pat Locke's ass, anyway, Locke is so simple, just say a few words of praise, and he can be happy for a long time.
"Where, how can I be as important as Lorne-kun said. "
"It's really important, I'd be very distressed if I didn't have Locke, who is my most important partner. "
......
Sure enough, hearing Lorne's praise, Locke, the yellow kitten, immediately had a happy expression on his face, but he was embarrassed.
Unlike Lorne, who is left and right and has no sense of direction at all, Locke, the yellow kitten, is unexpectedly good at reading maps and recognizing directions, and Locke's nose is very sharp, no matter how far away he is from Lorne, he can always find Lorne by smell. Locke's ability complements Lorne's cooperation, which makes Lorne often sigh that his adoption of Locke was indeed a very correct decision.
Under Locke's guidance, Lorne soon found the residence of the client of this commission, and generally, according to the rules of the guild, after accepting the commission, the sorcerer must first report to the client who issued the commission before he can complete the commissioned task. This is mainly because the information on the power of attorney is generally relatively brief, and it is necessary to go to the client to get more detailed information and know the specific requirements of the client.
Lorne's client for this mission is none other than the chief of Harut City. The shōcho residence in Harut City is a large villa built. Lorne stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon there was a servant with Lorne, and in the hospitality hall of the villa, the hall was luxuriously built, with a huge crystal chandelier on the roof, many precious oil paintings on the walls, and a soft red carpet on the ground. Lorne watched with envy.
Soon, without making Lorne wait long, Shi Chang came. Shi Chang is a middle-aged man who is well-dressed and very well-dressed. Seeing Shi Chang appear, Lorne took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, I'm the magician of Fairy Tail, and this is my partner Locke." The purpose of our visit this time is to complete the task of crusading against the bandits entrusted by you, and this is the power of attorney for this commission, please take a look. "
With that, Lorne showed the guild logo on his chest, then took out the power of attorney and handed him to the chief.
After listening to Lorne's words, Shicho's expression was very exciting. Actually, hearing that another magician is coming, Shi Chang is still very happy, the problem of the bandit has been suppressed in Shi Chang's mind for a long time, as long as the magician comes, no matter whether the thief can be solved or not, it is naturally the best to solve it, even if it can't be solved, it can also be reined in by the thief for a period of time, no matter what kind of result, it is a happy thing for Shi Chang.
However, looking at the black-haired boy in front of him, who was only about thirteen years old, only up to his chest, and swore that he was here to crusade against the bandits, Shi Chang felt that he couldn't be happy.
"That, little brother, I don't think you know much about the strength of the bandits, this gang of bandits is not so easy to deal with, I don't think you can deal with these bandits. I think it's better for you to go back to your guild and call some of the more powerful mages to come along. I'm still pretty confident in the strength of your fairy tails. "
In the face of the young little magician, Shi Chang didn't feel that he needed to be tactful, in the face of this kind of young man, who didn't care about things, Shi Chang felt that this was the best choice, and only such a straightforward statement could dispel Lorne's idea of wanting to crusade against the bandits. Shi Chang didn't think that this young boy could solve those bandits who even adult magicians could hardly deal with.
It's no wonder that Chief Shi has such an idea, after all, Lorne's age does seem to be very small, usually at this age, no matter how talented he is, his strength is at most between C-level and B-level. Just like Natsu and Gray, although they are all geniuses, they are too young after all, and their strength is not strong at all, even the kind of pointed monkey whose strength is only B-level can't cope with it. Generally speaking, to deal with this number of bandits, at least a backbone member of the guild like an A-level mage is needed to be sure. Others, even if they are B-level magicians, although they can also deal with bandits, they are prone to accidents, and if they are not careful, they will not succeed in crusading against bandits, but they will be killed by bandits.
In this world, not everyone can be like Miraj and Elusa, who can have the strength of an S-level mage at the age of fifteen, and for ordinary mages, it is only a few to be able to reach the level of A-level in a lifetime, as for S-level mages, even if they are powerful guilds, there are only a few, just like the tail of the goblins in the future, the tail of the goblin with the title of the strongest guild in Fiore is only five smages with the title of S-level title, which still counts the older generation of members of Gildas。 Some slightly weaker magic guilds, even if they are presidents, may not have S-level strength. A genius among geniuses like Miraj and Elusa is a genius who can hardly come out of more than ten years, and a person like Gerald, who crossed the barrier of S-class and super-S-class at the age of nineteen and became a saint ten, is even more known as a monster who only comes out in a hundred years.
Therefore, it is easy to understand Shi Chang's contempt for Lorne. Lorne understands Shi Chang's thoughts very well, let alone Shi Chang, even if he is himself, if he sees a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid standing in front of him and shouting unashamedly to settle hundreds of bandits, he will probably kick it up a long time ago. In contrast, Shi Chang is already considered to be cultivated.
However, this kind of thing, understanding is understanding, but when the person concerned is replaced by himself, Lorne will inevitably feel a little depressed, and for men, no matter who is considered inadequate, it is an intolerable thing (embarrassment). What's more, Lorne didn't intend to give up this low-risk, high-paying mission so easily. After completing this task, the money he got was enough for Lorne to wear and rent a house for half a year. This was an irresistible temptation for Lorne, who was desperately short of money.
But the question now is that whether or not he can accept this task is not up to Lorne, and without the consent of the chief, even if Lorne runs to complete the task, he will not get the payment he deserves. Now Shi Chang is making it clear that he doesn't believe in himself.
In order to get Shi Nao to agree to take on the task himself, Lorne decided to show off his strength a little.
Shi Chang only saw a dazzling light coming from Lorne's body, and in an instant, Lorne had disappeared in front of Shi Chang's eyes with an elemental movement. Then, Lorne's voice came from behind Shicho, "Mr. Shicho, I think you won't mind if I accidentally break your door." "
"What?".
Shi Chang, who was surprised by Lorne's sudden disappearance, was puzzled when he heard Lorne's words. But then, Shi Chang knew what Lorne meant. Because by this time Lorne had already stretched out his right hand, and his index finger was pointing at the door.
"Lasers. "
I saw a golden light emerge from Lorne's finger in an instant, and flew towards the gate not far away. After hearing the sound of a bang, Shi Chang saw that his house's more than two-meter-high, beautifully carved Nanmu gate had already disappeared at this time, and only a large hole of nearly three meters and wood fragments were all over the ground.
After more than a month of practice, Lorne's laser light has long been completely different from the power before. Now, if Lorne meets the sharp-headed monkey Wakaba, a laser light can easily shoot it into a dead monkey.
Seeing Shi Chang staring blankly at the door of his house, the corners of Lorne's mouth rose slightly mockingly: "I think, Lord Shi, now we can talk about the bandits." "
"No, no problem. Shi Chang was dumbfounded, and Na Na said.
Because of the developed commerce and frequent circulation of goods, it was favored by a gang of about 100 bandits who wandered here.
