Chapter 151 A little accident
Mrs. Weiss opened the door, welcomed Rod and Elfman in, and poured tea for them.
The client's family does not appear to be wealthy, but it is not to the extent of being described as poor.
Of course, this is just the first impression, and we do not rule out the possibility that the change came too suddenly, resulting in no change for the time being.
The person who needed the medicinal herbs this time was Mr. Kalut. He was lying in the bedroom and could no longer get out of bed.
According to Mrs. Weiss, Mr. Kalut is an ordinary coachman, but he most likes to take on some long-distance freight and passenger transport business.
Because it's easier to make money that way. You can rest at home for a while as long as you take an order, instead of going to the market or business guild to find work all day long.
He has always done this, but since returning home last week, he has been sick.
In order to treat him, he not only spent all his savings, but also sold the carriage and horses, but his condition never improved.
Until yesterday, Weiss invited a famous doctor from other places to diagnose that Karut had a rare disease.
His lungs were getting sick, presumably from inhaling miasma or something like that when he was out and about.
To cure this disease, Divotiang grass is necessary.
But because this herb has very few uses and a harsh growth environment, it can only be found in the Galantos Snow Mountains.
And that snow-capped mountain is home to a ferocious beast called ‘Labang’. For ordinary people, going up the mountain is like delivering food.
So we can only turn to the Magisters Guild for help.
"The current remuneration is the only money our family has left. I know that such a low remuneration for such a dangerous commission is excessive, but..." Mrs. Weiss bit her lip.
"No matter how much the improvement is, I can accept it, but please allow me to temporarily owe... I owe... I will work hard in the future, and I will definitely pay back the shortfall as soon as possible!"
Rhodes looked at Weiss. The haggard look on this lady's face could not be concealed. Her fingers were a little white and wrinkled. She might have been doing laundry and dishes.
But there was a small stain on the corner of her clothes but she didn't change it. Maybe it was too late or she didn't care about herself.
It should be said that I was not lucky enough to meet such a wife, Mr. Kalut.
Elfman was almost moved to tears: "Mrs. Weiss, what a man!"
Seeing Weiss' astonished expression, Rhodes explained: "He's just used to complimenting people like this, so don't worry about it.
Regarding the remuneration issue, we have accepted the entrustment and will not raise prices temporarily unless we encounter extremely special circumstances. In short, the mission content is to find Divotiang grass as soon as possible, right? "
"yes……"
"Don't worry, we are quite experienced in search-type tasks, and we have also learned about medicinal herbs. We will not admit our mistakes."
Rhodes felt that at this time, the client needed a little confidence, and said calmly, "Then, let's set off now."
"Oh!" Elfman responded energetically, he is a qualified atmosphere team.
In the eyes of Mrs. Weiss, one of the two is stable and reliable, the other is passionate and motivated, and they seem to be very capable of fighting. She felt much relieved all of a sudden.
Watching Rod and Elfman walk out of the courtyard, Weiss leaned against the door frame and looked at her husband in the bedroom, a smile on her tired face.
As long as Karut's illness is cured, everything will be fine.
She cheered up, it was time to cook now, and at least entertain the Master Sorcerer well when he came back.
It’s time for Jimmy and Hunter to come back too…
"Vess! Weiss!"
The anxious shouts outside made Weiss's heartbeat almost skip a beat. She walked out of the house to see what was going on.
The neighbor's Mrs. Nepol ran over panting, and Rod and Elfman stopped temporarily when they heard someone calling their client's name. Mrs. Napole shouted: "Weiss, it's bad! Jimmy, someone saw Jimmy running to climb the snow mountain alone!"
Weiss almost fainted. She took two steps back and leaned against the wall before she could barely stand: "Jimmy...why did Jimmy..."
Weiss could think of the answer to this question without having to answer it. The child must want to help his father find herbs.
This is too...too...
But Mrs. Napole had even worse news: "Hunter is also chasing Jimmy!"
Weiss felt like the world was spinning, and her body slid softly down the wall.
The sky is falling.
Her husband was bedridden and her two children were in danger at any time. Coupled with days of hard work, the poor lady's eyes gradually lost their luster.
No, nothing has happened to them yet, as long as they can be found...
"Get it back..." Weiss struggled to get up, not even bothering to wipe the dust off her clothes, and staggered back and forth.
"Weiss, don't do anything stupid! You will die if you go!"
Weiss turned a deaf ear and only thought about recovering her daughter and son.
"Hey, Rod!" Elfman was a little impatient.
"I know." Rod stopped Mrs. Weiss, "I can find them."
The words she most wanted to hear hit Weiss's mind, and she looked at the calm wizard with a sad face.
"Find me two pieces of clothing they wore, or anything with their scent." Without saying a word, Rhodes held his pendant and shouted, "Shadow Wolf!"
A huge two-headed wolf and two ordinary shadow wolves suddenly appeared in the yard, startling Mrs. Napole, and her legs could not stop shaking.
Unlike her, Weiss was not afraid at all and just looked directly at Rhodes.
"Their noses are very good and they can find your children as quickly as possible." Rhodes touched the wolf's head and repeated what he said before, "I need the children's clothes, or anything with their scent."
A calm and firm tone, and an effective approach to solving problems as quickly as possible.
Rhodes' words awakened Mrs. Weiss as if from a nightmare. She ran to the siblings' room in a panic and pulled out two sheets.
"Please...please..." Tears accumulated in Mrs. Weiss's eyes, and she was speechless.
Rhodes asked the shadow wolves to smell the scent on two sheets, and waved them to leave immediately.
"Please believe in the ability of Fairy Tail's magicians." Rhodes held the pendant again, "Canyon Swift Crab!"
Two river crabs appeared, and Elfman sat on them consciously. Thanks to his sister, he had ridden this thing many times.
Without waiting for Rhodes to say anything, Elfman directly urged He Crab to set off.
Rhodes rode on another river crab, turned around before leaving, and said to Mrs. Napole in as gentle a tone as possible:
"I'm sorry to scare you, but it happened suddenly. Please allow us to come back and formally apologize. Can you please look after Mrs. Weiss now?"
"Hmm ... uh." Mrs. Nebul nodded.
Rhodes smiled at Mrs. Weiss again:
"Please prepare some hot water, etc. It is very cold on the mountain, and the children may suffer from the wind and cold."
