Chapter 220 Strange Disease
Because of Wendy's help, Natsu experienced the fun of riding a vehicle for the first time.
However, because he was too excited, he jumped up and down and made a lot of noise, which affected everyone's discussion.
Erza couldn't bear it anymore and punched him hard.
On this day, Wendy's anti-motion sickness magic lost its meaning.
However, the journey was very long. This time it was almost from the southernmost tip of Fiore Kingdom to the north coast, so Natsu had time to enjoy the ride.
During the trip, I would stop to cook when I felt hungry. I would stay in a hotel when I encountered a town at night, and if I didn't, I would camp.
Everyone was ready to go on a long trip, especially Erza, who had plenty of food reserves.
What is surprising is that Hubby also has cooking skills. According to Natsu, the two of them usually either eat at the guild or Hubby cooks.
‘Are you dragon slayers all raised by cats? ’
Every time he saw Habi and Xia Lulu helping Erza cook, Rhodes wanted to ask this question.
When there are many people traveling together, it is difficult to feel lonely during the journey. Whether it is playing cards, chatting, or discussing magic-related matters, the carriage is always lively and lively.
Wendy seemed particularly happy as this was her second long trip. It feels good to go out with everyone.
Rod is honored to have surpassed Wendy in terms of number of trips and experience, which is gratifying.
When they arrived at Popi Town, it was already the third day after they set off from the Cat's Stay.
It was almost evening, so everyone went to the hotel to book two rooms.
Wendy and Xia Lulu shared a bed, and Erza shared a room.
Natsu and Happy shared a bed, and Rhodes shared a room.
However, according to Rhodes' understanding of Naz, either Naz rolled under the bed at night, or Habi was kicked under the bed by Naz.
Before entering the town, Rhodes had asked He Crab to run around twice outside the town and didn't see any strange people.
After entering the town, no one noticed anything wrong with the atmosphere here.
Erza and Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. For the time being, they could rule out the possibility that the remnants of the Black Magic Order would come back and the demons would directly cause rebellion.
After putting away their luggage, the group of people started to split up. Natsu, a guy with a sharp nose, went around the town to see if there was anyone suspicious.
Habi and Xia Lulu also went to take charge of aerial reconnaissance.
Erza and Rhodes took Wendy to meet the client.
The client's home is not far from the central street of the town. The house has three floors. A small garden was specially built in front of the house, but now it is bare and has no flowers.
The man who opened the door was a man with a tired face but a tall posture. He was the client this time, Mr. Joppa, Liz's father.
Mr. Joppa was a member of the Popetown Sheriff's Department, a soldier of sorts.
Ever since Liz was kidnapped, he had been blaming himself for his inability to protect even his own daughter.
After discovering that Liz was sick, she even took a long leave and ran around looking for a doctor.
Erza came up and briefly introduced the three of them:
"We are the magicians of Fairy Tail. My name is Erza, and this is Rhodes. This is the magician of the Cat's Place, Wendy."
Mr. Joppa was a little confused: "You...come from two guilds?"
Erza said: "The situation is a bit complicated. Let's just assume that our two guilds cooperate spontaneously. This Wendy is an expert in healing magic."
Mr. Joppa nodded. No matter how many people or guilds came, as long as he could cure Liz, he said, "Please come and talk first." The three of them followed Joppa to the living room. Rhodes looked at it briefly and felt that Joppa My husband's family is well off, and the decoration of the living room is quite exquisite.
This is probably due to his wife Ivy.
Rhodes remembered that the information briefly mentioned that Mrs. Ivey was the daughter of a wealthy businessman.
It is unclear how the two met and got married.
However, when asking for directions, I heard from the townspeople that Mrs. Ivey had opened a clothing store, but it had not been open for a long time.
Joppa asked the three of them to sit down: "Avi, the magician who took over our entrustment has arrived. Zanna, bring some tea."
There was a rush of footsteps on the stairs, and Mrs. Ivey hurried downstairs. Her eyes were still a little red and swollen, maybe she had just cried.
Joppa introduced the three magicians to his wife, and both parties greeted each other.
A maid came out of the kitchen, poured hot tea for several people, and then returned to the kitchen silently.
"I remember! Aren't you two the magicians who busted that kidnapping gang?"
Joppa just thought she had heard the names of Erza and Rhodes somewhere, but now she remembered that the mayor mentioned them.
One was called the Fairy Queen, and the other was called the Tamer because he drove a large group of animals back to the children.
Rhodes still doesn't know where his nickname spread from these two small towns.
Later, some people felt that it matched his performance at the Harvest Festival, so he gained widespread recognition.
And because some people have seen him transform using magic, some areas have added the modifier "various" to him.
Mrs. Ivey suddenly became excited: "It turns out to be you. Please save my daughter. She is only four years old. She is only four years old..."
Joppa felt a little more relaxed after knowing that these two were very powerful magicians: "Calm down, Ivy, and listen to what the magician has to say first."
Rhodes said: "Please tell us more about Liz's situation first, and then take us to meet her."
Joppa recalled for a while and said slowly: "Liz came back the day before the two of them rescued all the children. At that time, she was barefoot, her hair was disheveled, and she looked lost.
At that time, Liz could only say the words 'Mom and Dad', 'I want to go home', and 'I'm scared'. We thought she was frightened, so we all put down work and stayed at home with her.
But after a few days, the child was still in a daze. She would eat when she was given something, and would not cry out when she was not given something. She would hug her when she was given a doll, but would not take the initiative to talk if she was not given one. She would sit when offered to sit, and stand when offered to stand. . Moreover, we feel uneasy when we leave. When we leave the house, we say we are scared and want to go home.
We took her to see a psychologist and a psychiatrist. They both said she was overly frightened and asked us to spend more time with the child.
But even though we stayed with Liz for several days, she still didn't get better, and sometimes she would faint suddenly. We invited many famous doctors from other places to come to our home, but nothing abnormal was found.
A few days ago, a doctor said that maybe there was some kind of curse magic, and asked us to ask a magician to take a look, so we issued this commission. "
Rhodes asked: "Do other children who have been kidnapped have similar symptoms?"
"We have inquired, and there is no such thing. Those children have already been able to run on the street." Mrs. Ivey sobbed softly, and Joppa's narration aroused her sadness. "Why did it have to be Liz..."
This is a bit inappropriate to say, but everyone can understand her feelings as a mother.
Erza asked: "Wendy, do you have any clue?"
Wendy shook her head slightly: "I want to meet Miss Liz."
