Fairy Tail: I can receive the gods

Chapter 28 Rejection
"Sorry, we can't accept this task."

Karl said decisively, threw the reward list on the ground, and prepared to go home.

"Hey, wait!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man was a little anxious and hurried forward.

"I'm sorry, I did not do it properly in this matter, but I also have something to hide..."

The eyes of the middle-aged man were filled with pleading, as if a person who was about to drown looked at the floating, tiny straw in the current.

Although he knew that the straw could not save him, he still wanted to hold it without sparing any effort.

"I'm sorry, this is no longer something that can be concealed by mere unspeakable secrets."

"I can understand your feelings, but I can also tell you very clearly that we are not professional mages, and your task is too dangerous for us now."

After changing his previous lazy expression, Karl said very seriously.

The previous battle with Urrutia had given him a preliminary understanding of the world's dark mages.

Although it is one-sided, at least it is certain that there is definitely a stronger person than Urrutia in the dark wizarding world.

Of course, the middle-aged person involved must be aware of the danger of the Dark Guild.

"Uncle, why don't you report this kind of thing to the Senate?"

"If time is wasted, that child may really never be found." Milaj was puzzled by this, and said with a frown.

Even at the border of the kingdom, there will still be local council branches.

As a public welfare organization like an orphanage, it should turn to the council for help.

For tasks that are too dangerous, even she cannot easily try them.

She has her own family, and it is impossible to leave them at risk.

"Oh." The middle-aged man looked deeply at the four children in front of him.

After a moment of silence, I slowly said: "On the day that child disappeared, I had already applied for help from the law enforcement forces of the Parliament, but so far I have not received a response."

"As for asking for help from the regular Magisters Guild...you can guess our situation, right? It's not easy for our orphanage to survive. It's really hard to get the reward for S-level missions."

The middle-aged man went on talking to himself, as if he was pouring out the pressure of these years.

"To be honest, the council's funding has been getting less and less in recent years, but this time the 30000J is not the orphanage's public expense, but my personal savings. You can rest assured."

"Of course I also know that my salary is too little, but these can be discussed again..."

In fact, [-] or even a month's rent in the city can't be paid. At best, it can only be regarded as a reward for a B-level task, but for a middle-aged person, it seems to be a huge sum of money.

As if he didn't hear the middle-aged man's words at all, Carl turned around silently and walked out.

Noticing that Milaj was still standing still, there was a hint of sympathy in those eyes.

"By the way, although it's just a one-time meeting, I also advise you to do what you can." Looking back at Miraj, who was a little embarrassed, Karl reminded him and walked out.

"Miss Mira..." Lisanna shook Miraj's palm with a worried look on her face.

"Well, you wait first!" Seeing that Karl was about to leave, Miraj hurried to catch up.

Seeing that Karl was about to leave, the middle-aged man rushed to the door and blocked the way of several people.

"Even if it's not for my sake, at least... for the child's sake, I beg you!"

Those eyes reflected complex expressions, including pleading, shame, and shame.

As an adult, there is only one reason why he actually wants to seek help from a few children. As an ordinary person with little magical power, he can do nothing about the dark mage...

I saw him bend his knees and kneel on the ground, his head buried deeply under his arms.

Although he knew this Japanese form of begging, but after all, he used to live in the Celestial Dynasty, and Karl could not accept the form of kneeling and begging.

Eyelids trembled slightly, Karl still silently bypassed the kneeling middle-aged man and walked out the door.

……

"Hey, do we really want to be so ruthless..." Milaj followed Karl and asked.

There was a little disappointment on her face.

"'Please, is this ruthless?" Karl said helplessly, pointing to Lisanna and Elfman beside her and said, "If something happens to you one day, have you considered what will happen to them afterwards?" Situation?"

"I know this……"

Milaj frowned, and said sadly: "If Lisanna and Elfman are also taken away one day, and I can't do anything, I may be more anxious than him, and I may ask others for help... "

"What would you do if your companions were also in danger?"

For some reason, Miraj said these words slowly.

But she also knew that what Carl said was not unreasonable, and she also had people she should care about more, and she shouldn't bet her life for strangers.

But the tenderness in her bones made it difficult for her to stand idly by.

Seeing the girl's frustrated little face, Carl stroked his forehead helplessly and said, "Okay, it seems that I want to explain to you more clearly."

"My purpose is to make money and pay off debts, not to take risks."

"What's more, when you feel sorry for others, you might as well feel sorry for yourself first. If he sees your right hand, he might not be as polite as before."

Karl stared into Milaj's eyes and said sharply.

As for the questions Milaj posed to him, he kept silent.

Hearing this, Milaj's eyes instantly became sharp: "Hey, what do you want to say?"

That ugly right hand has always been Miraj's pain, Karl's words are like exposing her scars...

Although, this may be true, whenever she comes into contact with strangers, she will carefully hide this strange hand.

When she accidentally exposed it, almost everyone would give her weird and disgusted eyes.

It was a look that seemed to be looking at a monster.

Although the young man in front of him was a little different from the people he met before, Miraj still did not let go of his guard.

All of a sudden, the anger became very heavy.

"Um... are you the mages invited by Uncle Hani?"

Just when the atmosphere became a little depressing, a small head poked out from the corner of the wall.

It was a little girl in a pink dress, who looked only seven or eight years old, and was asking timidly at this time.

Seemingly confirming something, the little girl yelled behind the wall, "Hey, everyone, come out."

"Remember to follow the instructions."

The girl's voice fell, and a dozen children of his age came out from behind the wall and surrounded several people.

There was no defense in the eyes of those children.

Everyone is holding an object in their hands.

Some are storybooks, some are puppets, some are cards...

Undoubtedly, these are the most precious things in their eyes.

"We know that Uncle Hani didn't give much money, so please accept these things."

He gently picked up the object in his hand, although he was a little reluctant, but each child's eyes were shining with determination.

"Master Mage, please save Aaron, please!"
