Fairy Tail: Quest Master

Raven certainly didn't know that a girl had been thinking about him after he left the guild. He had already boarded a train heading south.

The destination was a lawless place on the border. There was no direct train to such an uncontrolled place. He could only take a train to the port city, Harugian, and then choose other means of transportation to go to the mission location.

Harugian is an economically developed port city. Its unique conditions make it a trade hub in the southwest of the Kingdom of Fiore. The passing merchants and the local developed marine transportation industry and fishing industry make the city extremely prosperous.

When Raven walked out of the train platform, he saw the prosperous side of the city. The streets were crowded with people, street vendors, waiters soliciting customers at the door of the store, and merchants pushing carts to sell goods. Everyone had a warm smile on their faces, presenting him with a thriving appearance of the city.

However, there was another shadow behind the prosperity. Raven knew that the city was not as peaceful as it looked on the surface.

Because this place is extremely rich, there are many merchants trading back and forth. Some lawless elements saw that there was profit to be made, and like flies smelling the smell, they swarmed up.

In the original work, Lucy and Natsu first met in this city. It was during that time that Lucy encountered a human trafficker who used magic to seduce a girl on the street and was almost sold. Even a large gang like the human traffickers roamed the streets openly, so you can imagine how rampant the criminals in this city are.

Although the Kingdom of Fiore has deployed a large number of troops in this city to maintain law and order, due to the corruption of some officials and because magic allows transactions, a large number of criminals use magic to commit crimes and rarely leave evidence, making the crime rate in this city always high.

Another reason is that Harugian is very close to the Land of Chaos, and the Kingdom's troops cannot control it. After the criminals commit crimes, they flee to the Land of Chaos, making it difficult to arrest them.

However, because of this, it is convenient for Raven. He needs to find someone to take him to the City of Chaos for arrest, and it is not too easy to find someone familiar with the City of Chaos in this city.

Raven walked out of the train platform. Perhaps because he was young and a stranger, a large group of people surrounded him in an instant;

"Boss, do you need a carriage?"

""Little handsome boy, do you want to stay at the hotel?" A heavily made-up girl posed coquettishly:"Sister, my bed is very big."

"Young man, are you new here? Do you need a guide? I am familiar with every street and alley in this city. I can take you wherever you want to go. It only takes a small amount of money."The person who said this was a middle-aged man with shifty eyes. His two small eyes were rolling around.

"Really?" Raven pretended to be a shy child, giving the appearance of seeking refuge with relatives:"I want to go to my great uncle Count Roside's house, can you take me there?"

This Count Roside was of course not made up by Raven, he was a real person. Raven once took on the task of protecting him, and during that mission he learned that Count Roside was from Harugian, and he also invited Raven to visit his home.

The middle-aged man laughed when he heard it, and nodded repeatedly:"I know, of course I know, Count Roside is a famous philanthropist in our Harugian."

"Really? Then take me there, 5J, right? Here you go." Raven took out a heavy purse, opened it, took out 5 gold coins and handed them to the middle-aged man, intentionally or unintentionally letting people around him see the large amount of gold coins in the purse.

The middle-aged man stared at the golden glow in the purse, his eyes were wide open, his saliva almost flowed down, and he forgot to reach out to take the gold coins handed over by Raven.

Raven pretended not to see it, tilted his head and asked questioningly:"Why don't you charge me? Will you charge me when we get there?"

The middle-aged man was startled, reacted, wiped his mouth, and explained:"Of course, didn't I say it, Count Roside is a famous philanthropist among us, and you are his relative, of course I will take you there first and then take your money."

"What are you waiting for? Lead the way."Levin gestured to the middle-aged man to go ahead, and he followed behind.

After Lei Wen and the middle-aged man left, the people around looked at each other and exchanged glances.

"It's a pity that such a young man fell into the hands of rats. Maybe not even a bone residue will be left."

"Poor little handsome boy, why don't you stay in the hotel? At least your sister will let you have a good time before you leave."

"Damn, a mouse picked up this leak. I'm afraid there must be thousands of J in that bag. What a fat sheep!"

……

On the other hand, the middle-aged man called Rat took Lei Wendong around, through various alleys, and walked further and further away.

"Is the road you are taking right?" Raven still pretended to be an innocent child:"Why is this road getting smaller and smaller, and there are fewer and fewer people walking on it?"

The middle-aged man stopped and grinned with his back to Raven:"Yes, why is it wrong? Isn't this the road that takes you to another world?"

After saying that, he turned around and smiled evilly, hoping to see a panic expression on Raven's handsome face, but he was destined to be disappointed.

"Really?" Raven said expressionlessly,"That's great. I hope you can hold out longer when I ask you questions later."
