Chapter 228 What happened to Rhodes
According to the Council's last request, matters regarding the Black Magic Order and demons need to be kept secret.
But at times like this, the Council might as well go to hell.
At least Liz's parents have the right to know what happened to their daughter.
Mr. Joppa finished smoking two cigarettes in silence and put the third one in his mouth without lighting it.
He said in a hoarse voice: "How... can we free Liz?"
From his selfish point of view, he hopes that Liz can always be by his side, even in the form of soul.
But he can't do that. In this situation, Liz herself is also suffering, right?
And according to the magicians, Liz is now a very special soul. Maybe one day she will be targeted by some demon, a black magician...
In that case, Liz may suffer even more.
The best thing to do now is to let Liz be relieved.
Erza admired him for being able to make a decision so quickly. As a father, this is something difficult but necessary to do:
"There are two conditions for liberation. First, her parents should stay with her. Second, tell her the truth and make her realize that she has..."
Joppa threw away the unlit cigarette and went upstairs with heavy steps.
A few minutes later, everyone heard Mrs. Ivey's cries and the couple's quarrel.
After a long time, Mr. Joppa came downstairs again: "I'm sorry, can you please help to witness what happens next?"
The testimony is false, but the guarantee is true.
Liz had suffered enough, and Joppa didn't want anything to go wrong in the end.
Naturally, no one refused.
Mrs. Ivey was wiping Liz's face with a towel, as if she didn't see anyone coming upstairs.
Mr. Joppa apologized for his wife's rudeness, but of course no one cared at this time.
The couple held Liz's hand and talked a lot, and finally they were silent for a long time before they decided to continue.
"Liz, actually you have already..."
Mr. Joppa's voice was trembling, and Mrs. Ivey was already sobbing.
"That's it, it turns out I'm dead." Liz's face showed an expression of sudden realization, and her body glowed with light fluorescence.
"Liz..." Mrs. Ivey covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
This was the first time in two months that Liz said something other than those fixed lines.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. Liz is a bad boy. She disobeyed her mother and ran away to play alone, so she was captured by the bad guys."
Liz's body gradually became a little unreal, and her voice became more ethereal.
"It's not Liz's fault, it's mom. Mom didn't think much of you!"
"It's dad's fault. He couldn't find you for so long."
"Mom, don't cry, dad too. Liz likes you the most. Being your child... I'm very happy."
Liz floated up from the bed. She looked at her body and said with a smile,
"Liz seems to be going to heaven. Mom and dad must take good care of themselves~ Also, thank you for your continued care..."
"Liz!"
"Liz!"
Liz's soul turned into dots of fluorescence, flew out of the window, and flew into the sky.
A cry of "I love you" drifted in the wind.
Mr. Joppa and Mrs. Ivey chased them to the balcony, but under the cover of the sun, the ray of fluorescence could no longer be seen.
Mrs. Ivey sat on her knees, sobbing softly. Mr. Joppa hugged her, tears rolling down his eyes.
…
Everyone stayed in Poppy Town for an extra two days to prevent the grieving parents from doing anything stupid.
It wasn't until the couple held a funeral for Liz and said they would listen to Liz and take good care of themselves that everyone left with peace of mind.
Mr. Joppa mentioned the commission money and thanked them for helping to find out the truth and punish the evildoers and demons who harmed Liz.
But no one wanted to take it.
‘The commission request was to cure Miss Liz, but we did not complete the task. ’
Erza said so, and others had no objections. The mission came to an end, and everyone headed back to the guild.
"I'm sorry Wendy, I invited you here without permission and encountered such a thing."
Wendy shook her head slightly: "It's not Mr. Rhodes' fault."
Fairy Tail and the Cat's Place are in different directions, and they must part ways after traveling together for a while.
Rhodes said he would send Wendy and Xia Lulu back.
However, Xia Lulu refused: "Don't underestimate us. No matter what, we are also qualified magicians."
Habi was still a little reluctant: "Xia Lulu..."
Xia Lulu glanced at Habi: "And male cats, don't keep coming over."
"Love..." Habi looked downcast.
He made an agreement with Wendy to visit her when he had time, and to be available to help whenever needed. One of the two parties headed south, the other to the southeast.
The distance between the two sides was about the same, but it took a longer detour to get back to Fairy Tail. In the end, Wendy and Xia Lulu returned to the Cat's Place first.
The village was as peaceful as usual, and the return of Wendy and Xia Lulu was warmly welcomed by everyone.
The sadness during the mission and the fatigue during the journey were somewhat diluted.
Until...Wendy started practicing Dragon Slayer Mystery Galaxy again.
"Xia Lulu..."
Wendy fell to the ground, her eyes blank, as if she had been hit hard.
On this day, Wendy cried all night.
…
On the other side, the Fairy Tail team also encountered a little trouble.
"Wendy... come back quickly... ugh!"
As expected, Natsu still couldn't enjoy the convenience of transportation. Without Wendy, 'Troia' was immediately returned to its original shape.
It's just that Erza, Rhodes and Happy were all in a bad mood now and didn't pay much attention to him.
After walking a long distance, when it was getting dark, the carriage stopped.
"Stop!" Natsu regained a little energy, "Have you returned to Magnolia?"
"Well... I'm sorry!" came the coachman's voice, "There's someone blocking the road ahead. It doesn't look like a good thing."
"Blocking the road?"
Both Erza and Rhodes were a little confused. In order to avoid trouble, they had hung the guild flag outside the car. Who would come to provoke them knowing it was Fairy Tail?
"Who is it?!" Natsu jumped out of the car immediately. He really hoped that someone was looking for trouble.
Rhodes and Erza got out of the car to take a look. There were about thirty people blocking the road, wearing different clothes, but everyone had the same coat of arms.
"The ruler of ghosts?"
Several people wondered why the ghost people were here, and the ghost people looked a little unnatural.
"Hey, are you sure it's that person?"
"That's right, it's him, the beast tamer Rod, we are really taken care of by him."
"But why is the Fairy Queen with him too?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just three people, and everyone is injured!"
Seeing that the three of them had bandages on their bodies, the thirty or so people made up their mind and walked forward menacingly.
Rhodes noticed two familiar faces in the crowd and confirmed that these people were really here to cause trouble:
"It was the trouble I caused before. It seems something happened."
Erza asked curiously: "Are you going to get into trouble too?"
"It was the time Mira and I went to the royal capital... Actually, they asked for it. They ambush us halfway, but we gave us a lesson."
Rhodes guessed that He Crab was recognized after being published in a magazine.
Natsu bumped his fist: "They are enemies after all, right? Can I beat them up?"
Erza and Rhodes didn't object, they just beat them up, and they happened to be angry.
Liz's original ending was even more cruel, but I couldn't stand it anymore. I'm still not suitable for writing this kind of story.
