"Fairytail" is the leading wizard guild in the entire Fiore Kingdom.
In terms of size and strength, the number of guilds comparable to "Fairytail" in the entire Fiore Kingdom is no more than five fingers.
Naturally, "Fairytail" will inevitably have many commissions from all over the Fiore Kingdom every day, and there are all kinds of strange things.
Standing in front of the delegation column, Noah saw simple delegations such as finding some items, simple delegations such as driving out thieves or hooligans, and slightly difficult delegations such as curses that can only be solved by the power of magic. , There are even high-level commissions such as annihilating illegal wizard organizations and harmful monsters, and so on.
Generally speaking, the more difficult it is to complete the content of the commission, the higher the reward will be, not to mention the life-threatening ones, the rewards are generally mentioned at an ultra-high level.
And these are not within the consideration of Noah, who has just been able to go out to work.
After discussing with Elisa, both of them decided that the difficulty of the first mission must not be too high, and not too far away, otherwise all kinds of troubles will occur if they are alone, so there will be danger for the time being. Not to mention, there is no guarantee in terms of efficiency.
Therefore, those tasks that need to be carried out in remote places and are relatively dangerous, as well as those tasks that specify which magic must be possessed to solve them, have all been eliminated by Noah.
Elsa didn't know when she had torn down an order and went to Makarov to take the task, ready to go out to work.
Noah wandered over the numerous orders on the order column for a while, fixed his gaze on one of them, stretched out his hand, and tore off the order.
"Have you decided?"
Makarov had always been standing behind Noah, and seeing the content of Noah's chosen mission, he nodded.
"This task seems a bit weird, but the difficulty should not be too high, but you still need to be careful. If you find that you can't solve it, you may be aware of the danger. Don't be aggressive and just give up the task. You are still young!"
Hearing Makarov's words, Noah nodded, but he held the order in his hand tightly, and his heart felt a little surging.
…
The blue sky is endless.
The green field full of vitality is endless.
On the bottomless green field, at the end of an aisle, a boy who was only eleven or two years old was carrying a long cloth bag on one shoulder, like carrying a long ankle-length backpack. Hand on the strap, holding a sheet of paper in the other hand, and walk forward.
Along the way, many people who are grazing in the green fields cast their curiosity, doubts, scrutiny, etc., on the teenagers walking on the aisle. Perhaps they are all wondering in their hearts whether the children of which family have been lost.
In fact, along the way, Noah did encounter many well-meaning people who came to ask if he was lost, or was acted upon by human traffickers who did not know where he ran out. Noah was also quite helpless.
However, this encounter also ends here.
At a certain moment, Noah stopped his steps and looked in front of him.
A village.
A village not so far away from Magnolia.
At least, even if Noah didn't take a car, he still came to his destination on foot, although it took a lot of time.
Looking at the village that was not very far in front of him, and then turning his gaze to the order in his hand, Noah once again confirmed that his destination was the village in front of him.
This time the commission was issued by the village chief in this village.
Generally speaking, commissions issued by villages of this size are not to drive away some beasts and bandits, or to find herbs and medicinal materials for curing diseases. Very few difficult or dangerous commissions exist.
Therefore, Noah chose to accept the commission issued by this village.
Of course, Noah has also confirmed the content of the commission.
how to say
I don’t know if it is difficult to say it is difficult, and I don’t know if it is easy to say it is simple.
With this mood, Noah went to a house under the leadership of a villager and met the village chief.
The village chief is an old man who is very old and may be older than Makarov, leaning on a cane, bending over, and a gray beard dragged directly to the ground.
"..." The old man first glanced at Noah up and down, then spoke with the old man's tone, and said such a sentence.
"Welcome to you, guests from Fairytail..."
Upon seeing this, Noah couldn't help but stared at the old man in front of him.
Just now, in the eyes of the old man, Noah clearly saw a trace of suspicion.
Obviously, the old man was puzzled that the wizard who came to his village to solve the difficulties of his village was such a small child.
However, even so, the old man didn't say anything, and didn't want to confirm anything with him. First he expressed his welcome to him, and he didn't feel any dissatisfaction because he was too young.
Noah doesn’t know if the other party chooses to believe that he is capable of completing the task because he is a "Fairytail" person, or whether the other party intends to behave first and then fight. Noah was relieved a lot.
Although the key to activating the Lake of Ceremony last time was Noah's body, the contact, conversation, and negotiation with the client were basically carried out by Laxas.
It is also because of this. Strictly speaking, this is also the first time that Noah has worked independently, and it is inevitable that he feels a little nervous.
What the old man did was to dispel the little tension, so that Noah felt lightened and said hello to the old man.
"Hello village chief, I am the wizard of "Fairytail" and I am here to help you solve difficulties!"
"Thank you very much for your help." The village chief nodded very slowly.
"Although our village is not large in scale, there are still one or two hotels available for traveling guests. If necessary, we will entertain you for free. Do you need to take a break?"
"It's really late now, it's not very suitable for work. I would be grateful if I could take a rest for the night, but before that, I would like to ask the village chief with some questions." Noah picked up the order form in his hand. , With a somewhat uncertain question in his tone.
"It is stated on the order sheet that the content of the task is to drive away ghosts. What is going on?"
Yes!
Drive away ghosts!
This is the problem that Noah felt incredible!
Although this is a world where magic is quite popular and even integrated into people's daily life, there are also some monsters that can endanger people's lives. Noah even heard Makarov say that there are demons in this world.
But do ghosts or something really exist
Maybe it does exist, but Noah hasn't seen it, so it will inevitably feel a little skeptical.
Don't say it's Noah, even if you change someone, you will probably be as full of doubts as Noah.
After all, the knowledge of some ancient villages is not as broad as that of the residents in the towns and cities outside. Sometimes, some special phenomena, the activities of weak monsters, and the pretending of evil spirits of human beings are really regarded as ghosts. It is not impossible.
If this is the case, this task would not be difficult to solve. I'm afraid that there is another hidden story. It is something that Noah can't solve.
Therefore, Makarov's suggestion is just to come and see, if something goes wrong, this type of commission is allowed to be abandoned.
Anyway, if it is really a ghost, Noah has no means to drive away the ghost, doesn't he
Therefore, it is necessary to ask clearly.
I don't know if the village chief also understands this. Seeing Noah directly asked about work, he started to explain without any haste.
"Actually, since not long ago, villagers in the village who went hunting in the forest often heard the sound of ghosts crying!"
