After pondering for a moment, Makarov said: "It's okay during the holidays, but not recently."

"Why?"

"I might need your cooperation in the investigation regarding the Tower of Paradise."

"Didn't I write a report and send it out immediately?"

"That won't work either. Have you figured out what day it is today?"

"September 23rd, although it's almost the end of the month, can we————?" Rhodes said as he remembered something important, "Ah——the Harvest Festival is coming."

Early October is the annual Harvest Festival, the most important festival in Magnolia and the most important festival in Fairy Tail.

Just like "the New Year is coming after Laba Festival", the harvest festival also needs to be prepared in advance and it will be busy.

However, in the next half month, everyone who has gone out will gradually come back, and there will be a lot of backlogged tasks by then.

Rhodes thought about grabbing some strong men in the guild to deal with it in advance, or taking a break from busy work to deal with it himself and make some money along the way.

"That's not right. The Council is gone, and you don't have a letter of apology to write. You should be very free. You have to help us share the daily affairs."

"How could I not write it? The Council is temporarily unable to operate. I will still have to submit it when it recovers. I am very busy."

"Why are you so busy? Don't you always put off writing until the deadline?"

"Nonsense, I'm just making up my mind."

"oh."

"Seriously, I'm really busy!"

"Uh-huh."

At the Devil's Heart Headquarters, President Hades was talking to a crystal ball: "Did you get the thing?"

The figure in the crystal ball was none other than the missing Ullutia: "Yes, while the Senate was in commotion.

,

"Hehehe --- the eight-year plan, everything is going according to plan, you are worthy of it, Ullutia."

"I actually had a lot of fun. Jellal is really cute. In the past eight years, I didn't even notice that I played the role of 'Zerf's Guide to the Dead.'"

"Because it's easiest to brainwash when you're still a brat. By the way, I heard that Jellal was arrested.

It might involve you. The limelight just a while ago has just passed, so it’s not appropriate for us to attract too much attention now."

"Just leave this matter to our 'allies'. Aren't the Six Demon Generals always looking for 'that one'?" Ullutia smiled and said, "It just so happens that the Council has recorded a lot of useful information."

"Then I'll leave all the rest to you."

"Yes, President Hades."

The communication between the two was cut off, and Ullutiya played with the crystal ball a few times: "It is easiest to brainwash someone while they are still a kid.

A sneer appeared on her lips: "Is that so, President Hades?"

That night, there was only a crescent moon in the sky. Rod and Mira rode on the backs of river crabs and hurried outside the city.

The president got a little moody and refused to go with them.

Anyway, we have already summoned a dragon, so another one is nothing.

"Where are we going this time?" Mira squeezed into Rod's arms and found the most comfortable position to lean against lazily.

"Let's go to the same place." Rhodes put his arm around her waist, put one hand into her clothes, and rubbed around her navel.

Not only did Mira not stop him, she also put her hand on the back of his hand, rubbing it so that it was warm and comfortable.

Especially when I have a stomachache, I want him to rub it all day long.

"Isn't that far away?"

"Yeah." Rhodes nodded, "But considering the commotion caused by the mountain dragon last time, we should actually go further."

The moonlight is a little dim today, and the farther away from the town, the darker the night becomes.

Fortunately, the river crab has good eyesight and can run very fast. It didn't take long for the two of them to reach their destination.

The ruins of the crater that were demolished before the Mountain Yaron left last time are still piled here. It has been windy and rainy during this period, and some weeds have grown on it.

It's obviously just rocks, but after two or three months, grass can actually grow.

"This is it." Rhodes jumped off the river crab.

Mira looked at him strangely.

Seeing that she didn't follow, Rhodes asked: "What's wrong——-Oh, right."

He was such a delicate and weak fiancée. Rod smiled and stretched out his hand, "Come here, I'll carry you down."

"It's nothing." In fact, Mira's hands were often slippery before Yirod, but today she is so honest.

She conveniently put her arms around Rhodes' neck and did not refuse to be hugged.

"Ready." Rhodes waited for her to stand firm, then took two steps forward and held the pendant, "Summon, Blue Carved Golem, Mountain Dragon!"

A four- to five-meter-tall demon statue appeared and added a crown of insight to Rhodes. Seeing that there was no fighting around him, he habitually added a crown to Mira as well.

This is always the case during normal sparring. Rhodes never bullies Mira by relying on magic recovery.

Immediately afterwards, the huge body of the mountain dragon also appeared, looking like it was sleeping.

Feeling the change in the environment, the mountain dragon lifted its body and shook its head. A helpless expression seemed to appear on the dragon's face: "Why don't you just summon it? What are you calling me for?"

"This is not to ask if you have communicated, okay?"

"I'm almost sleeping in a nest, what do you think?" The figure of the mountain dragon gradually became illusory, "Hurry up, that guy has a bad temper, and he might whip you as soon as he comes out.

"

Sleeping in a nest is actually not quite accurate.

Rhodes could 'see' that the Xiaolong Pit in the canyon was divided into two halves. One half was khaki, with a stone-shaped yellow mark on the wall. The Mountain Dragon was crouching there and continuing to fight.

The other side is fiery red, with a red flame sign on the wall, and a giant red dragon standing on the ground. The two sides look distinct and do not interfere with each other.

This makes Rhodes a little worried about what other dragons will do in the future, will they be crowded together like broodworms and vanguards?

Judging from the tone of the mountain dragon, the next person may not have a good temper. Rhodes gave Mira a comforting look, then held the pendant and recited the complete curse: "I am————."

"".—Summon, Infernal Dragon!""

Phew~~

As the magic power surged, it seemed as if a gust of wind was blowing, and the surrounding air suddenly became hot and dry.

On the pile of rocks ahead, the weeds began to dry up, then burned and turned into ashes.

"Ang~

A roar of the healing dragon sounded with a hot breath, and blazing flames appeared in front of Rhodes' eyes, and the surrounding weeds were immediately scorched.

But then, even the ground began to burn, and this ordinary plain wilderness seemed to turn into a flaming hell.

Rhodes and Mira quickly jumped on the shoulders of the golem, causing it to run back more than ten meters.

Standing farther away makes it easier to see the behemoth in front of you.

A body similar in size to the Mountain Dragon, and its appearance is somewhat similar, except that the Purgatory Dragon is completely red, and its body emits an astonishing amount of heat, as if it is covered in magma.

Only the neck, chin, and the skeleton of the dragon's wings are black, like obsidian in magma.

The Infernal Dragon waved its wings, causing waves of heat.

However, it did not fly up, but looked around, finally fixed its gaze on Rhodes, and slowly said:

"Your name is Rhodes?"

What the Purgatory Wurm speaks is the dialect of this world. If it were placed on Earth, it would probably be equivalent to a mouth full of dirt.

"It's me." Although it sounded like he was looking for a fight, Rhodes couldn't help it.

The Infernal Dragon seems to be really impatient: "What the hell are you doing here? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

It pointed to the top of its head and said:
Chapter completed!
