Chapter 217: New mission
Chapter 217: New mission
A warm breeze of spring arrived in March.
The temperature began to rise, and the ice and snow started to melt, with some places already showing hints of green grass.
Rod's account only increased by 200,000 gold.
The reason was that Eluza had become too lazy last month and didn't come to form a team with Rod.
Rod hadn't taken on any high-difficulty missions last month, only doing a few minor tasks here and there.
The highest income was still from the escort mission with Elfman.
This was the norm for a regular mage to earn 200,000 gold a month after deducting rent and daily expenses, which meant he was being quite frugal.
At the counter, Hibee and Worm were in the middle of a significant negotiation.
"Worm, I want to trade grilled fish for fried fish."
"Huhu..." Worm shook his head vigorously.
"Why not?"
"Huhu..." Worm showed his little claws.
"Love! I can help you pick the fish out."
"Huhu!"
The major transaction was completed.
Today, Natsu didn't cause any trouble, so the guild was still relatively quiet.
It might be because Eluza was sitting in a very noticeable position, eating something.
Bisca, who was across from Eluza, said something with a slightly flushed face.
After making an encouraging gesture, Bisca ran to the bulletin board to check the mission.
Macao today seemed to be not very talkative, so he ran to find Cana to drink.
Cana had already moved on from her last failure and had been working hard on missions. Moreover, under Macao's persuasion, she had once again reduced her alcohol intake.
Loke's visits to the guild had decreased recently, according to Gray. He had felt unwell occasionally and thus reduced his frequency of going out to work.
Rod maliciously speculated that Loke might have too many girlfriends, and his body couldn't keep up.
But Gray also said that the last time he forcibly took Loke to the hospital, the guy thought of using his weak appearance to attract female attention.
Within five minutes of entering the hospital, Loke had already leaned on a nurse to chat.
And recently, Loke seemed to have a new goal, saying it was quite challenging.
Even Gray didn't bother with him anymore.
Rod's malicious speculations naturally didn't hold, but he increasingly wanted to fight him.
This peculiar brain circuit was like a different world version of Lu Ziqiao.
"That, Mira, we want this mission." Bisca handed the mission sheet to Mira, "I will team up with Al... Zak."
"I'll take a look." Mira didn't rush to read the mission but first observed the two of them, wondering if Bisca had just called 'Al'?
"Quick, a bit faster, it seems to be a rather urgent mission."
"Alright~" Mira carefully read it, "Disguise as a couple to infiltrate the dance party, to stop those who want to sabotage the dance party?"
Disguise as a couple? Mira immediately grasped the key points, Bisca still bold.
Rod also immediately grasped the key points, he reached over and patted Alzak's shoulder: "Bro, how about we take this mission?"
"Ah? This... this..." Alzak was conflicted, naturally not wanting to, but still owed Rod a favor.
"Don't mess around." Mira pushed Rod away, confirmed the mission's difficulty, and helped the two of them complete the registration.
"Alright, in all aspects." Mira smiled warmly, sending them off.
Blushing face, she left the guild, only then did she think to herself, 'You also' to see Mira's reaction.
"Too bad, such a good mission, and I didn't notice it first." Rod gently shook his head and flipped through the mission documents.
Mira rolled her eyes at him: "The regular meeting time is coming up again. Have you thought about what to do this time?"
"This time I must go on a long trip! The Master is really troublesome when he's drunk." Rod didn't want to attend another meeting with the Master.
Last month, he had forgotten this due to having too much fun with Mira and had to go, but this time he couldn't be careless again.
But Mira's little fan who wanted an autograph would be disappointed again... He could ask the Master to take her.
Rod said, "How about we have a meal before I leave? Where do you want to go?"
He had already excluded the option of 'not going,' and Mira thought for a moment: "Last time I decided, so you choose this time."
"How about dumplings? In our hometown, we say 'dumplings when getting in the car, noodles when getting out.'"
"Sure, I know a place where both the noodles and dumplings are good. We can go there when you come back."
"Sounds good."
"Why is it still the place I decided?"
Rod smiled, "It's all the same; you know this place better."
Mira smoothly changed the subject: "By the way, the spring flowers at Nan Kou Park will be blooming soon. How about we go see them?"
"Sure, I'd love to. I remember there are cherry blossoms in the park too, right?"
"Yes, but the cherry blossoms won't be in full bloom until April. The guild will organize a cherry blossom viewing festival, which is a very lively event."
"Like the Harvest Festival?"
"No, it's just an internal guild event. Mr. Cook will prepare a lot of delicious food, and there will be various competitions and raffles."
"I'm looking forward to it, but it's still a long wait." Rod said, "So when we go to see the flowers, let's have a picnic too?"
Mira saw through his little plan: "Sure, but who will prepare the food?"
"Well... my cooking skills are limited to being able to grill meat. If that doesn't work, we can pack some food from the guild." Rod looked at Mira expectantly, waiting for her to object.
Mira didn't object: "Alright, let's do that."
Rod's look of anticipation visibly turned to disappointment.
This person clearly wanted to eat something she had made.
Mira chuckled for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll make the food."
"Great!"
"But you have to go grocery shopping with me."
"Even better!"
Mira huffed, "You should go shopping yourself."
"Alright... but you know me, if I go alone, I might buy carrots instead of onions."
Mira didn't believe him: "No problem, I can make anything you bring."
"Ah..." Rod sighed with a smile, "You're so hard to trick..."
However, as he flipped to a commission that hadn't been posted on the bulletin board yet, his smile gradually froze.
"Are you that eager to... What's wrong?" Mira noticed the change in Rod and looked at the document in his hand.
It was a commission to find a doctor for a daughter.
A little girl had a strange illness. Over the past two months, her parents had consulted all the nearby doctors, but none could diagnose or treat it.
The doctors suspected it might not be a disease but a curse, so they advised them to seek the help of a mage.
From the commission content alone, Mira couldn't see anything special, but the girl's name sounded familiar.
—Lis, where have I heard that name before?
