"Actually, since not long ago, villagers in the village who went hunting in the forest often heard the sound of ghosts crying!"
With this sentence as the head, the village chief began to explain.
Not far from this village, there is a rare forest.
This forest is nothing special. Unlike the forest next to the town of Magnolia, there are all kinds of monsters. It is just an ordinary forest. At best, there are only some beasts or foreign weak. Monster.
Because of this, the village regards that forest as a hunting location, and hunts in the forest every day, which is regarded as the main source of food in the village.
Not long ago, when many villagers went hunting in the forest, they could vaguely hear the sound of a girl crying.
At first, the villagers thought that the child had entered the forest by mistake, and wanted to find the child and bring the child out.
Who knows, before the villagers started searching for the child, a vision appeared.
Noah naturally didn't know what the specific vision was.
But what the village chief said is—the sky has broken a hole!
Because of this bizarre phenomenon, the villagers did not search for the child anymore, but since then, they can still hear the child crying in the forest from time to time, and the sky will always open a hole from time to time. It's creepy.
Thus, the saying that the child crying in the forest is a ghost who would incur a curse when crying and burst the sky spread in the village.
The villagers in the village are relatively simple, and they are convinced of this statement.
Therefore, gradually, the villagers dared not enter the forest to hunt anymore, and the villages that used forest prey as their main food source began to no longer have sufficient food as before, which caused no small difficulties. .
There is no other way, the village chief can only issue a commission to the nearest Sorcerer's Guild to ask someone to expel the ghost.
To be correct, it should be said to find out the true source of the crying and the truth of the sky breaking, so that the village can return to its former state.
"The remuneration is collected by the villagers in the whole village. Although it is not much, only 200,000 J, but I still want to ask you to help us." The village chief lowered his head slightly and bent his waist, speaking of his age. , This kind of salute is already the limit.
"Can you accept our commission?"
Noah frowned slightly and fell silent.
It's not that Noah didn't want to accept this commission, but that the commission itself was too uncertain. Noah didn't know whether she could complete the commission of the village chief alone.
As for remuneration, with such an uncertain task, it can't be said to be too much, nor can it be said to be less. It can only be said that as long as there are no accidents, it is still considerable.
Besides, Noah doesn’t care much about the reward. For money, the reward of 1 million J left over from the last mission to activate the lake of ritual is still there. He is not in a hurry to spend money, but he doesn’t need to pay for it. There is too much care.
After thinking about it, Noah said so.
"To be honest, the village chief, there is too much uncertainty in this incident. Whether the ghost caused the sky to burst is still unclear. I cannot guarantee that I can help you. Therefore, I want to live in the village for one night first. Can I make a decision after going to the forest?"
"Yes! Thank you very much!"
There was a slight sense of relaxation in the village chief's voice, which made Noah smile, tightening the long cloth bag that was slung on one shoulder like a backpack, and began to think about what to pay attention to in tomorrow's mission.
…
In terms of the village, although the size of this village is not large, it is unexpectedly not very backward.
Although the house is a bit old compared to the buildings of Magnolia, the style is almost the same. Unlike some villages, there are only stone houses made of stones. The hotel provided for Noah to live in is a bit smaller, but Impeccable, there is nothing to complain about.
Under the orders of the village chief, the owner of the hotel also knew that Noah was a wizard from "Fairytail", who came to help the village solve the problems caused by ghosts, so he did not accept Noah’s accommodation. fee.
However, unlike the village chief, the hotel owner knew that the wizard from "Fairytail" was such a child. Although he didn't say anything, he had disappointment that couldn't be concealed in his eyes. Ya was quite depressed.
Hope, tomorrow’s task can be successfully completed...
With this in mind, Noah settled down for a while, came out of the room, sat down at a wooden table in the hotel lobby, ordered a meal, and started to replenish the energy consumed during a day of running around.
However, just as Noah was enjoying his dinner, three people were greeted at the door of the hotel.
Those were three young girls who were about eleven or two years old, who should be the same age as Noah, but they were very eye-catching.
If you want to say why, it's just because these three teenage girls around the age of eleven or two all have white hair that attracts attention.
Standing in the middle was a young girl with long white hair tied into a ponytail, her body dressed in revealing swimsuit-like clothes, her face was very stinky, and her eyes were very fierce.
Standing on the left of the girl is a girl wearing a formal suit and shorts like a student. The figure is burly among her peers. His skin is a bit dark, but his face has a weak expression. It is in stark contrast with the ponytail girl, which makes people suspect. It's not a boy who got the same character set by mistake.
As for the girl standing to the right of the girl, they are the shortest and the youngest, with a younger sister's head and wearing a cute dress.
At this time, the little girl with her sister's head was talking to the ponytail girl with a worried face, but the ponytail girl turned a deaf ear.
The burly boy also seemed to have a weak face and was advising the ponytail girl. As a result, the ponytail girl glared fiercely, her head shrank, and she hid aside very spinelessly, with an expression on her face as if she was about to cry. , People can't help but laugh.
Such a wonderful trio naturally attracted Noah's attention, and immediately slowed down his eating speed, and he observed with interest.
While Noah was observing the three white-haired young girls, the ponytailed girl seemed to perceive Noah's gaze, turned her head, and met Noah's gaze.
Noah can clearly see the face of the other party with a very unpleasant expression. He obviously doesn't like Noah's gaze. When he just wanted to give Noah a glance, he noticed the "fairy's" on the back of Noah's right hand. The guild crest of "Fairytail".
The ponytail girl was startled, and then a puzzled expression hung on her face.
In that way, it seemed as if you were looking for a certain person, only to find that the other person was extremely inconsistent with the person you were looking for.
However, the ponytail girl quickly threw these aside, ignoring the advice of the weak-faced teenager and the worried-faced girl beside her, and walked in the direction of Noah.
Seeing this, Noah could guess no matter how stupid he was.
The other party is here for himself!
"Hey!"
Sure enough, the ponytail girl came directly to Noah's table and asked unceremoniously.
"Are you the wizard of "Fairytail"? The one to solve the ghost incident in the forest next to this village?"
Noah's brow furrowed deeply with the ponytail girl's tone of voice, and she put down the tableware in her hand.
"Sister Mila!"
At this time, the little girl wearing a cute dress also came over, pulling an arm of the ponytail girl as if trying to persuade her, bowed her head deeply to Noah, and kept apologizing.
"Sorry, sorry, Sister Mila didn't mean anything!"
"I'm really sorry!" The burly boy also came over and bowed sharply at Noah.
"My sister is really not malicious, please don't blame her!"
Noah nodded towards the three of them, without any anger in his tone.
"Are you looking for something to do with me?"
"My name is Mira Jane Strauss!"
The girl named Mila said something like this with a sneer on her delicate and pretty face.
"Although I am embarrassed, but your job belongs to us!"
