Chapter 15: Defeat The Lizard People
"Hey Gray, let's have another fight."
In the guild, Arden smiled particularly brightly and approached Gray.
Gray glanced at Arden, rubbed his livid eyes, turned around, and left.
"...Erza, let's go exercise."
Erza, who was sitting there with her back to Arden, could not help but tremble even though she was wearing armor. She stood up suddenly and showed a smile that was uglier than crying towards Arden and said, "I'm sorry, Arden, I have a mission,I have to will leave first ."
After saying that, Erza immediately ran out of the guild.
Arden looked at Erza's back and stretched out his hand to hold her back when Erza ran faster.
"Well, Cana-chan..."
"You are sexually harassing me."
Cana, who was wearing a dress, looked at Arden, picked up the book, and left without looking back at all.
"Uncle Macao..."
"I have something going on at home."
"Uncle Wakaba..."
"Arden, I'm going to get married. Let's not talk anymore."
"Reedus..."
"I'm going out to sketch! Let's go first!"
"Nab..."
"There is actually a commission suitable for me here. I'm going to leave now and stop talking!"
Arden:...
Ever since he learned that magic combat can be upgraded, Arden has also fallen into a crazy battlelust.
Anyway, the commission wouldn't come for a while. He either couldn't grab the new commission from others, or Makarov didn't allow him to accept the commission, so he just immersed himself in hard work and concentrated on improving his strength.
In the beginning, they still held on to Gray and Erza, but when they realized that they were no match for Arden, they couldn't withstand such a high frequency of battles and just avoided Arden and left.
Then, Arden extended his claws to other people in the guild.
At the beginning, Arden was not able to defeat the guild members very well, but as Arden continued to practice and alternately receive several cards, his strength and combat experience improved at an extremely terrifying speed. He beat others directly.
Finally, it became what it is now.
Arden lay on the table depressedly and opened the current character interface.
[Name]: Arden Solis
[Level]: 10
[Body]: 27+ (184)
[Strength]: 28+ (173)
[Sensitivity]: 28+ (201)
In five months, he was promoted to level ten in one breath, and as the level reached level ten, Arden felt that he could receive the abilities of the two cards into himself.
This is a qualitative leap!
Moreover, Arden estimated that if the level continued to increase, he might be able to receive more cards, or even receive all six cards.
By then, Arden might have collected six red cards!
When Arden thought that he had received six full-level red cards, he felt that he could beat the black dragon Acnologia.
It's a pity that the people in the guild are uncooperative and won't give Arden a chance to gain experience!
Looking at Arden who was a little discouraged, Makarov smiled, then handed Arden a commission and said: "Arden, you can try this commission. I think you can try the crusade mission."
Arden took the order sheet and glanced at it. It marked the order to defeat the Lizardmen.
Arden's eyes lit up.
Makarov had never given him this kind of high-intensity subjugation mission before. Even if it was a subjugation, it would only be against very weak monsters like rabbits.
Therefore, Arden guessed that the reason why he did not upgrade in the first place was probably because these monsters were too weak and did not provide him with the experience he deserved.
Only Erza and the others have a certain level of strength. If they fight against them and defeat them, they will gain a certain amount of experience and level up.
When he thought of this, Arden sighed in his heart.
My Gold Finger is half-damaged, and there are no prompts. I have to guess everything by myself, which is tiring sometimes.
"Master, I have accepted this commission!"
Arden immediately said that he had an impression of lizardmen. They were very powerful monsters and were good at water or earth magic. They usually lived in swamp areas. Once they escaped, they would indeed cause certain damage to the surrounding villages or towns.
Not to mention that the commission fee is 200,000 J, this lizard man alone can make Arden pay a visit.
He can also test it. If defeating the lizardmen will give him a certain amount of experience, then Arden no longer needs to be a member of the Rest squad and can focus on completing the crusade mission from now on.
Arden packed up and took a change of clothes with him. Arden took the Magnolia train and headed to the place of commission.
…
After a full day's train ride in the town of St. Carolyn, Arden finally arrived at this town with many nearby lakes.
When he got off the train, Arden saw many people selling a unique fruit. Arden also spent money to buy a few to try the taste.
When you bite into it, juice splashes everywhere.This fruit looks a bit like a pear, but its taste is similar to watermelon, with plenty of juice and good sweetness.
After asking around, I learned that this kind of fruit is a specialty here. Regarding the commission, the nearby fruit farmers pooled their money and commissioned the wizard to deal with a lizard man who ran away from nowhere.
"Lizard people are good at swimming, and there are many lakes here. I guess the magic they are good at is also water-based, which is a bit difficult to do."
After Arden collected the information, he felt a little headache.
Many times, the difficulty of a subjugation mission is not to subdue monsters, but more to search for traces of monsters.
"I don't have a clue at the moment. Let's go and contact the client first and ask about the situation."
Arden ate the fruit and then found the client.
Or commission people.
Because this commission was jointly funded by several fruit farmers, and because of this, the remuneration was a full two hundred thousand J.
We learned from their mouths that the fruit trees they planted, the fruits Arden ate, themselves needed a lot of water, so the planting land also relied on water sources.
There are many waters near the town of St. Carolan, which also provides unique geographical conditions. However, once monsters like lizardmen who are good at water magic are mixed in, it will cause great damage to the orchards.
According to their description, in just one night, their orchard lost hundreds of kilograms of fruit, equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars in currency.
Doing this every day is too much for them.
They also organized people to resist, but they were all defeated by the lizardmen, and many people were seriously injured.
So everyone pooled their money and sent the order to the local guild presidents' alliance, which then distributed it to the Fairy Tail guild.
"Then the lizard man's target is the fruit in the orchard, and he should be planning to settle here. If there is a situation of hurting people, it needs to be suppressed. Plus, they only take action at night..."
Arden pondered for a moment, looked at the fruit farmers, and said, "I almost understand. Then I will guard the orchard tonight. If the lizardmen appear, leave it to me to deal with it."
