There was another small expense this month.

Although studying gourmet food is Mr. Cook's hobby, Rod is always embarrassed not to pay for any materials.

However, Wurm also gained the right to enter and exit the kitchen at will when Mr. Cook was not busy.

The prerequisite is that it cannot mess with things in the kitchen.

This is Rod's 12th day of learning three-dimensional text magic.

After the mission recommended by Mira, the atmosphere between the lane engine team eased, and they soon agreed to go out to work together next time.

Lebby came to tutor Rod again whenever she had free time, and Jett and Troy occasionally came to watch the fun.

However, the past two weeks of study have made Rhodes realize how important 'compatibility' is.

He was able to use the summoning magic almost immediately, but the learning results of the three-dimensional text magic were really unsatisfactory.

The same FIRE is written, and what Lebby releases is blazing flames, while what Rhodes releases is probably a torch.

The same WATER is written. What Lebby releases is a large amount of water, which can have a good impact. What Rhodes releases can also wash the face.

Don't even think about using this level for fighting, but Rhodes plans to learn a few more words that can create light, wind, etc.

At least life will be much more convenient. You won’t need to light a lamp when you get up at night to go to the toilet, or you won’t need to bring a fire when going out for a picnic.

Congratulations.

In contrast, the progress of summoning magic is as stable as ever.

This time Rhodes felt that there were new wild monsters that could be summoned, so he asked the president to help look after them as before.

The results confirmed one thing, it is indeed correct to be more stable.

"Answer my call, Demon Marsh Frog!"

The magic power that could summon nearly four river crabs was drained away by the pendant, and a huge brown toad appeared in the guild's backyard.

The appearance of this toad can be described as ugly.

It has a huge body that can swallow a person in one bite, and there are several purple mushrooms growing on its back. At a glance, you can tell that it is definitely poisonous.

"Quack~~" Along with the loud croaking sound of the frog, the ground under the feet of the Demon Swamp Frog was dyed purple.

The next second, Rhodes felt himself being grabbed by a big hand, and his body quickly retreated.

Then the president appeared in front of him, slapped the ground with one hand, and golden light emitted.

The Demon Swamp Frog and the land under its feet are surrounded by a golden magic circle, and golden spells rise from bottom to top, forming a protective shield.

The Demon Swamp Frog seemed to want to take off, but Rhodes gave it a 'don't move' command to calm it down.

"President, what is this?"

"It's venom. This will prevent it from spreading further." The president looked at the purple-dyed ground and said seriously, "Will it obey your instructions like other wild monsters?"

"It should be okay." Rhodes could feel the connection between the Demon Swamp Frog and himself, "Lift up his left front paw."

The swamp frog raises its claws.

"Move one step to the left."

The swamp frog did as he was told.

"Scream."

"Qua~"

"It seems there is no problem." The president said, "So is there a way to take back the venom?"

Rhodes ordered: "Take back the venom."

No response.

Rhodes thought for a while: "Eliminate the venom on the ground?"

The Demon Swamp Frog retreated slightly and opened its mouth, taking a bite of soil. It wanted to vomit but didn't dare. It looked at Rhodes helplessly.

Ah, Rhode suddenly felt that this toad was quite cute.

After receiving the president's approval, Rhodes said: "Spit it out, be gentle."

The president looked at it and found that the spitted soil poison seemed to have been neutralized or partially absorbed.

Moreover, the toad did not pollute any new land when it retreated.

"Well..." Makarov thought for a while and said, "Don't summon it in the guild for the time being."

"Okay." Rhodes nodded and waved the Demon Swamp Frog back to Summoner's Canyon.

Makarov was very pleased, it was great that Rhodes was a stable child.

"President, what should I do with this land?"

"I'm going to find Porlyusica's help to think of a way. If I can make an antidote, I'll take some with you, just in case."

In fact, the easiest way is to scrape the ground and bury it deeply.

But for the sake of long-term considerations, Rhodes cannot be prevented from summoning it forever.

"President, can you take me to visit Ms. Porlyusica? I haven't thanked you properly for what happened before."

When she first woke up, she couldn't communicate. After learning the common language, the old lady went home long ago, and she never came to the guild again.

Rhodes did ask Mira for the address of that lady, but was told that Ms. Porlyusica didn't like to be disturbed. If she went there without any business, she might beat her out with a broom.

Preparing the antidote should be considered business, right?

"It's okay to go together. She might even want to see your... Demon Swamp Frog."

Makarov waved his hand, his body flashed with light, and his casual clothes were changed into formal clothes.

Rhodes had to admit that he was impressed by the old man's handsomeness: "President, this dress-up magic is so handsome!"

"Hehe..." The president smiled like an old child, "How about it, do you want to learn?"

"Yes, yes! Uh... I must learn one when I have time!"

Dressing up and transforming is a magical girl thing... ah no, it's a magician's romance!

Makarov was very pleased that this child finally had something to pursue other than becoming stronger.

He took a glass to collect some venom-contaminated soil, used magic to protect it, and said, "Let's go."

This was the first time I walked on the street with the president - if the time he carried me back didn't count.

"Are you still used to being in the guild?"

"Fortunately, everyone is a very good person. They take good care of me and teach me a lot."

Rhodes ignored the two rude S-class magicians, and everything was fine so far.

As soon as Makarov smiled, he heard Rhodes continue:

"Apart from the fact that it is noisy at times, unknown objects fly past my ears, and people often break things and it is difficult to clean them up... there is nothing to complain about."

Makarov covered his chest, feeling a little worried: "If you want to learn Common Language, follow Mira or Rebby, don't learn Erza's way of speaking."

Erza is like this, she talks about everyone's shortcomings, and then says, "I don't want to talk about you today."

"Ah, Guild President, I was just joking, don't worry!" Rhodes was afraid of making the old man angry, so he hurriedly added, "It would be nice to have more excitement in the guild."

He tried to change the subject: "By the way, President, Ms. Porlyusica lives in the eastern forest, right? Do you want to take the river crab?"

Makarov looked at the streets with people coming and going: "Let's wait until we leave the city. Don't cause trouble to everyone."

"Oh...wait for me, I want to buy something!"

Rod ran to the fruit stand and came back a few minutes later with a bagful of apples and a bagful of peaches.

It is not good to go empty-handed for the first time.

Makarov smiled and said nothing.

…

"This is where I found you."

The two entered the forest on a river crab and walked for a while. Makarov pointed to an open space.

Rhodes didn't have much impression of this place. He thought everything in the forest looked the same.

Even if I hadn't encountered that strange beast, I would have probably gotten lost and fainted from hunger here.
Chapter completed!
