Chapter 232: What's Rod's last name?
Chapter 232 What is Rhodes’ surname?
At the reminder of the frog messenger, Rhodes took Wendy and Xia Lulu back to the testimony stand.
Habi tried to get closer to Xia Lulu, but was still rejected.
Natsu and Erza were concerned about whether Wendy was being bullied by the people in the Council.
Before they could chat for a while, the speaker knocked on the table to indicate silence.
“Start the inquiry session now!”
"On the evening of March 15th, the cannibal demon Canib appeared in a valley near the northern coast of the Kingdom of Fiore, and was defeated by the wizard that night.
After investigation by the Senate, the people who took action at that time were: Erza Scarlet, Natsu Dragneel, Wendy Mabel, and Rhodes..."
When Rhodes' name was read, everyone couldn't help but glance at him.
Because he only has a first name and ‘no’ surname.
Generally speaking, even if you are an orphan, grow up in an orphanage or a church, or wander outside, you will always get a surname or give it to yourself.
It's rare to have a name like Rhodes.
Erza felt this the most deeply. Even though the person who gave her the surname Scarlet had almost completely changed into someone else, she never abandoned this surname.
Jellal at this moment may be feared and resented by her, but to her at that time, Jellal was the benefactor who not only saved her life, but also gave her hope and saved her soul. .
But the more this happened, the more painful Erza felt when thinking about Jellal's changes.
Although it was inappropriate now, Erza couldn't help but ask: "Rhode, you... don't have a last name?"
"Yes, my surname is Luo."
"Love? Your name is Rod Rowe?"
"No, my surname is Luo, and my full name is Rhodes."
Natsu asked curiously: "Shouldn't that be called 'De Luo'?"
"My name is Rhodes. I used to be called Lao Luo, A De, Xiao De, De Ge, Ke Shi, Teacher Luo, Zhang San... you can call me whatever you want."
"Pfft, Xiaode." This title may have made Habibi laugh. He covered his mouth and puffed up his cheeks.
Rhodes clarified: "Don't laugh, Druid is a very powerful profession and is not my nickname."
They were chatting happily down there, and many of the commentators had dark faces.
"Quiet! Since Lord Makarov is here, he must have understood the details. Please explain what happened that day."
"zzZ..." Makarov nodded, then nodded, and continued to nod.
Erza pushed Makarov's back and reminded: "President, it's your turn to speak."
Makarov suddenly woke up and said subconsciously: "Yes, that's what Rhode said is what I meant!"
Rhodes patted his forehead and felt bad. After attending two regular meetings, he got used to the president being like this.
I really can’t go there again!
The faces of the reviewers became even uglier. This is the trial court! Don't these people feel any tension at all?
There was a beautiful commentator with long, straight black hair covering her mouth and snickering;
The blue-haired young man who had just appeared at the door was also smiling.
Mr. Ajima had a hard time holding back his laughter. He needed to maintain the authority of the council member as much as possible so that he would appear more powerful when speaking for Fairy Tail.
But Pony and his group of kids are so much fun.
"Your Excellency Makarov! Please be serious. If you can't tell what happened that day, then Fairy Tail will have to bear the responsibility for releasing the devil privately!"
"Ahem..." It was really not polite to sleep in court, Makarov felt a little guilty, "Then, let me explain the situation at that time..." The commentators nodded while listening. They believed in magicians like Makarov. Wouldn't lie about something like this.
When he talks most, he prefers those children, or he himself has been deceived by his own magician.
After listening to what he said, the Speaker asked: "Does anyone else have anything to add to His Excellency Makarov's speech?"
Wendy didn't dare to speak, and she and Xia Lulu didn't know much about the details of the battle.
Natsu...the president wouldn't let him speak.
Only Erza and Rhodes added some details one by one.
Rhodes focused on complaining about the professionalism of the Council's aftermath.
The commentators silently jotted down some useful information:
It turns out that Canib is an earth demon.
It turns out that the two mountains at the scene were not entirely destroyed by the magicians from Fairy Tail.
It turns out that the sudden awakening of the devil is probably the responsibility of the Council...
Wait, whose responsibility is it?
Oger, who sat in the second seat of the Senate, asked: "Do you want to put all the responsibility on the Senate?"
Rhodes said: "This is absolutely not the intention, but we are not responsible for the seal, and it is certainly not our decision whether it is reliable or not."
"Then what's your responsibility for trespassing into the sealed territory?"
Rhodes looked at him strangely: "First of all, it is wrong to confuse cause and effect. The seal appeared abnormal first, and then we went to check it. Moreover, your seal...is it something that will explode at a glance?"
"Strong words! How do we know whether there was a problem with the seal first, or if you broke in first and caused the problem?"
It was tiring and uncomfortable to keep looking up at people. Rhodes spoke more and more rudely:
"You don't even know there's something wrong with such an important seal. Do you have to blame us for not sending people to guard it?"
How could Og fail to hear that Rhodes was saying that they had failed in their duties: "The Senate is responsible for maintaining the stability of the entire Ishgar continent, how can it possibly send people to guard the seal in a remote area?
And you should report the problem to the council as soon as possible after discovering it, instead of handling it yourself! "
"When we finish reporting, and when you send people here, everyone in the two towns will be dead!"
"Compared to the order of the entire continent, two remote towns..."
"Og!" Mr. Yajima couldn't help but stop. "On this occasion, we are speaking on behalf of the Senate. Please don't bring personal emotions."
Oger kept silent. The sacrifice of a few people in exchange for the stability of the majority was often the principle of the Senate.
How about Deliora ten years ago? He destroyed several cities in a row, but no one reported it to the Senate?
No, it's because they have more important things to solve. The problems in the magic world are always piling up, and they can't allocate extra strength to deal with them.
Things have priorities, it’s just a matter of choice.
Nowadays, two border towns are nothing compared to the entire continent.
They always do this, and they are prepared to be stigmatized, but this kind of disregard for life is not what a commentator should say.
"Rhode, the people who can sit here are all people who have made contributions to the magic world. Even if you have complaints, please maintain a little respect."
Mr. Yajma advised, "I guarantee that the Senate will judge this incident fairly."
Makarov also signaled that he didn't need to say anything more and just listen to Yajma.
