Rhodes truly believes that Troy needs to become more mature and reliable. He doesn't necessarily need to be strong, but just needs to be more reliable in character.

The key is not to be a drag on the mission by being too pushy like Jet.

But Troy himself doesn't think so. He always feels that he can't pursue Lebby because he pursues her in the wrong way or expresses his feelings in the wrong way.

Rhodes had no choice. He reminded him once this time and again next time. If he still didn't believe it, forget it.

…

"Is this happening again?" Mira looked interested, "Why do they always like to consult you?"

"How would I know? I've never been in love."

Anyway, we haven’t officially started talking yet.

"Anyway, I have to leave this matter to you. Just quietly find out what Rebby likes."

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Mira is confident in her intelligence (gossip) ability, and so is Rhodes.

After explaining the important things, Rhodes looked at the bulletin board for a while. Feeling that there was nothing worth checking, he went to the backyard to practice again.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Senate sent someone to deliver the reward for the last mission.

There were no neat 270 large banknotes. What the Council gave was a check, which could be drawn at any major bank in the Kingdom of Fiore.

——There are banks in this world. Although they are occasionally taken into consideration by the Dark Guild, the security measures of big banks are okay, and there are not many real losses.

Rhodes has been here for more than half a year and has never seen the words "financial crisis" in newspapers or other places.

This shows that the kingdom's economic development is relatively healthy, and the royal family will not mess around with the economy. Therefore, banks are generally quite trustworthy.

Mira was responsible for checking the checks and registering them, while Erza and Rhodes needed to answer some questions from the investigators who came here specially this time.

The first is the issue of the casualties of the men in black robes. When the Senate team rushed to the scene this time, more than a dozen of the fifty-strong Black Magic Order had already died, and several more people were seriously injured and died on the way back.

Strictly speaking, such high casualties are beyond the scope of an 'arrest' mission.

However, considering the danger of this mission, it's not that we can't understand it. It's just that the Council wants to know the reason why there are so many casualties.

Erza was well prepared and calmly listed the types of magic bullets used by the men in black robes.

At that time, she used the diamond armor to withstand hundreds of magic bullets, and she could see their properties quite clearly.

The investigator wrote them down one by one, including curses, bone crushing, blood transformation... As soon as he heard it, he knew that it was a very dangerous magic, so it was understandable that he should be more careful in the battle.

Rhodes then added: "We had to protect the safety of 14 children at that time. To leave them alone would be irresponsible to the children."

The investigator nodded. This is also a situation that must be considered. Those guys died too cheaply.

"As for the dangerous altar, it was completely destroyed when our people arrived. What is the specific appearance of it?"

Erza frowned: "Why do you need to know something like that?"

"We need to know how well the Black Magic Order understands demons. We will then invite earth magicians, illusion magicians and seal magicians of corresponding levels to deal with the scene."

Good guys, do you need to perform illusion seal + magic seal + physical seal on the devil’s birth point, right?

The Senate handles this kind of thing quite rigorously.

Erza thought for a moment and took out her sketchbook: "In this case, I will draw it for you."

"Erza, how about I do the drawing?" Rhodes thought that he had at least learned three-dimensional geometry and drawn three-dimensional views and perspective drawings.

No matter what, it is better than Erza's soul painting. Erza showed an interested expression: "Oh? Do you want to compete with me in painting? Come on, let me see your level.

"

"..." Rhodes went to Lidas to borrow a sketchbook and pencils.

The investigator was honored to be the referee. When he got the paintings of the two people, and then looked at Erza's confident expression, he was really incomprehensible.

"This, this..." The investigator considered his words. He should give the Fairy Queen a little face, but he should not speak too unconscionably.

It took him a long time to say: "Both of your paintings have been of great help to our work, thank you."

"You mean there is no winner? What a pity." Erza looked at Rhodes with admiration, "I didn't expect you to be good at painting. Let's compete again next time!"

"Haha, ha..." Rod chuckled. Without a ruler, what he drew was barely understandable. It was no better than the elementary school students' simple drawings. He was good at drawing with a hammer.

Mira came over holding the registration book: "Hello, please sign here."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you this time. Thank you for cooperating with the investigation."

The investigator scrawled his name, took the receipt issued to him by Mira and two masterpieces and escaped from Fairy Tail.

Mira handed the check to Rhodes: "Please go to the bank to get your reward when you have time."

Erza said: "I made an appointment with the designer of the heart-shaped cross to discuss the new armor, and the time is almost up."

"It's okay, I'm free now..." Rhodes glanced at Mira, "Well, can I be free now?"

If you go out during working hours, you have to wait for the boss’s nod.

Mira tilted her head and also used a question: "Okay?"

Rhodes asked again: "Then can you be free?"

The main reason is that Rhodes has never been to the bank. What if he is cheated while doing business? It would be best to have someone with him.

Mira smiled and said: "That's okay."

Anyway, the guild is not busy now. The guild leader is taking a nap on the second floor. It doesn't matter if he goes out for a while.

"That's great."

Erza went to the clothing company in a hurry, while Rod and Mira took a leisurely walk to the bank.

Before going out, Mira simply tied her hair and used the hair tie given by Rhodes.

Rhodes paid attention to keeping warm and put on the scarf given by Mira.

The sky is blue, the bridges are arched, the canal water is not frozen, the winter sun is warm, and the people around me... want to stay together for the rest of their lives.

The banks here are still in the paper-based office stage and their business efficiency is average.

Rhodes opened his own account here and deposited the money withdrawn from the check for 1 million J, leaving 350,000 J in cash for repaying debts and spending money.

The other 1.35 million J will be transferred directly to Erza's account.

The identity verification of a magician can be done by brushing the face and coat of arms, and banks have special magic crystals that can be used to verify these things.

When Rhodes left the bank with a wad of banknotes and a small passbook, he still felt unreal.

Does this make you a millionaire?

Although the unit is J, the long string of zeros is really pleasing to the eye.

Rhodes said in a nouveau riche tone: "Let's go, I'm treating you today, you can order whatever you want!"

"Okay." Mira felt Rhode's joy and was also happy.

In fact, she has been earning a lot of money recently. Should she also use this reason to invite him?
