It is always a good thing that wages have increased, but Mr. Luo was worried about insufficient funds for his plan to buy a house.

I originally thought that with a huge sum of more than two million yuan, I would be a small rich man, but after looking at the housing prices in detail, I realized that one-tenth of this is already pretty good.

It is estimated that it will take 20 years to save enough to buy a modest house based solely on salary.

Of course, the banks here also provide loan services, and their policies for magicians are pretty good, but essentially it still requires a long time of work.

After all, Magnolia is a prosperous city where magic is prevalent. It would take decades for ordinary magicians to make a home here.

People like Rhodes who can handle difficult tasks are better, and can win them after a few years of hard work.

If he hugged Erza's thigh as tightly as he did last month, it probably wouldn't even last two years.

In addition, there is actually another option, which is to settle outside the city.

Just build a house in the suburbs like Natsu and Happy, or go to the forest and build a tree house like Ms. Porlyusica.

Building a house outside the city is completely unattended and saves a lot of money. The disadvantage is that life is not very convenient and you have to travel far to buy a bottle of soy sauce.

Then there are newcomers like Tono who live in the countryside with their parents.

But it takes him three hours every morning just to get to the guild by carriage. If you include the time to go home in the afternoon... it's a nightmare commute.

After considering various possibilities, Rhodes still felt that it would be better to make more efforts to settle down in the city.

If you improve your strength a little more and become S-level, you can make money faster.

"What are you thinking about?" Mira saw him holding the banknotes and frowning, and asked curiously, "You're not worried about how to spend it, are you?"

"Almost, but what I'm more worried about is how to make money." Rhodes said, "I'm thinking about officially settling down in Magnolia."

"An Jia?" Mira thought for a while, "You want to buy a house?"

"Yes, this city is very good, isn't it?"

"Of course." Mira could understand Rhodes' mood and reminded, "But if you are too impatient, it will be very hard."

"Well." Rhodes looked at Mira's exquisite facial features, "This is a long-term plan, but there is no need to rush it."

"Don't look at me and say 'long-term plan.'" Mira fled back to the counter.

In fact, she can help a little financially, but she doesn't have a suitable name. If...

Random thoughts, random thoughts, nothing if, it’s too early to think about these now!

Lucky's voice rang out: "Rod, I want two beers here! Sister Mira, I want a roast chicken here!"

"Coming."

"good."

Rod filled the cup with wine, and Mira sent a message to the kitchen.

Although the 'little rich man' and the little rich woman are 'powerful' in the guild, they are just serving tea and water to everyone.

Low-key, low-key.

As usual, Rhodes would go through the task information when he had some free time at work. Occasionally, he would choose some tasks that had not been answered for a long time and deal with them.

When Mira is free, she will also find a task that no one pays attention to due to low pay, and team up with Rhodes.

Sometimes it's to find cats or dogs, sometimes it's even to mediate disputes - Rhodes doesn't understand why neighborhood disputes need to be specifically approached by wizards to help mediate.

This kind of troublesome and unprofitable task is naturally not popular with everyone, but Rod and Mira don't care, just treat it as a date, or a date with its own theme.

It's quite fun to go out like this occasionally. It can help the guild solve the backlog of tasks, and go out to play in a reasonable way... Go out to work, killing two birds with one stone.

However, this has also brought about a little problem. February 19th is Wednesday, the day when the new issue of Wizards Weekly will be released.

Rod saw himself in a magazine for the second time, and he was featured in the magazine in a strange way:

"The rumored boyfriend of the famous model Mirajane?"

The reason seems to be that the two people have become so close during this period that they have gone beyond the scope of ordinary friends.

And some people saw the two of them eating, shopping, and buying flowers together on Valentine's Day.

The accompanying picture shows the backs of the two of them, but Mira is turning her head to look at Rhodes. She can be recognized from the side face, and she is smiling happily.

As for Rhodes, there was no frontal photo, but he reposted the report on ‘The Strongest Newcomer’ from half a year ago.

In fact, nothing special happened that day. At most, I hugged Mira at the door for a while when I sent her home.

Elfman ignored this matter since he had a serious fight with Rhodes last time. He didn't expect that there were bad people among the crowd.

Rhodes himself was not unhappy, but he was a little worried about Mira: "Will this affect your popularity?"

"Probably, Jenny said before that it would have an impact, but it doesn't matter if you don't do this job. And..."

Mira looked at Rhodes and added, "I will no longer take the previous route."

Mira had thought carefully about it when she agreed to be a clothing model for the heart-shaped cross.

Thinking of the topic chosen by Rhodes when competing with Jenny in the Royal Capital, and the suggestions made by Rhodes during the beauty pageant, Mira guessed that Rhodes might mind the sexy route.

Although she doesn't care much about it herself, it's not impossible to care a little more from now on.

Rhodes felt a little strange: "Will Soshala also release this kind of news that may be detrimental to you?"

"Because it's not necessarily a disadvantage. I have so few works recently. If news like this suddenly appears, maybe the effect will be very good. Even if the effect is not good, at least it can increase the sales of the magazine in the short term."

Rhodes thought for a while: "I have a way to dispel the rumors."

For example, telling everyone that it was not a rumor but true? Mira could more or less guess what he wanted to say.

So she raised a tray and narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "If you dare to say it, I will beat you down."

"Surrender, surrender." Rhodes ended the topic and sighed softly, "I'm going to practice."

"Don't you have a clue yet?" Mira knew that his recent practice had not been going well, and the next summoned beast had not yet appeared.

"Well, maybe it's because of insufficient magic power or insufficient research on this matter." Rhodes stroked his pendant.

Logically speaking, the next wild monster that should appear should be Rift Herald or Dragonite.

But when he recently used his consciousness to explore Summoner's Rift, he could not see through the fog of war near the Dragon Pit.

And the Great Dragon Pit is occupied by Void Brood Insects. I wonder if the Canyon Pioneers are still there and how they will come out.

We can’t kill all the void broods first, right?

So what are we going to do when we get the big dragon? Kill the Rift Herald too?

Rhodes has no choice but to continue exploring and work hard to increase his magic power.

Judging from the previous experience of summoning red and blue double buffs, no matter who is next, it will inevitably consume a lot of magic power.

He needs more training for his small body.
