"I will visit your parents often."
The village chief continued, which made Juvia look at him with tears in her eyes.
"Go ahead, it's better for everyone."
The village chief continued, saying he didn't want to see the day Juvia was driven out, but it seemed inevitable.
So, it would be better to let Juvia go to Fairy Tail with Moen right now. Other guilds are fine, but this is Fairy Tail! Its reputation speaks for itself!
Moen suddenly realized why Juvia had hesitated; it turned out that her parents' graves were here. The village chief had just said that the child seemed to have become like this after her parents passed away.
It's fair to say there are a lot of orphans in the guild.
"Mr. Moen, I'm willing to go with you."
Juvia looked at Moen and finally made a decision.
In fact, Juvia herself understood that everyone wanted her to leave the village. Although the village chief was trying his best to protect her, as the village chief, he couldn't always be squatting at Juvia's doorstep. There would always be times when he couldn't take care of her.
Juvia could clearly feel the villagers' growing disgust and resentment in his daily life.
If she had nowhere else to go, and if her parents' graves weren't still there, she wouldn't want to stay in the village and cause trouble for everyone.
Of course, the most crucial point is that, given her current situation, she would cause trouble for others wherever she goes. She would probably have no choice but to hide away in the deep mountains and forests, but she really doesn't have the courage to do so.
Mira's family dared to leave for two reasons: first, they genuinely couldn't stay in the village any longer, as the villagers were about to turn on them; second, the three siblings could support each other, and Mira's Demon Hand also possessed a certain level of combat ability.
Mira's family and Juvia's situation are quite different. Moen looked at the girl in front of him with sympathy. If he hadn't come, the girl's future probably wouldn't have been very good.
Well, that's not necessarily true. If another guild takes on the commission, Juvia might end up with that guild.
"No need to call me 'sir,' I'm not much older than you. Just call me Moen."
Moen smiled and nodded at Juvia, correcting her wording. Calling her that made him sound much older, but in reality, he was only thirteen years old.
Juvia is the same age as Lisanna and Levy, but two years younger than him.
"Take care, Moen."
Juvia weakly corrected herself on how she addressed him; she lacked confidence and was constantly in a state of self-loathing.
After making the decision to leave with Moen, Juvia felt a sense of fear—a fear of the unknown future.
"Don't be nervous, Juvia. Everyone in the guild is a very nice person. Fairy Tail is a warm family. Everyone is like family. You will definitely be able to adapt quickly."
Seeing Juvia's fear, Moen tried to comfort her, introducing the guild's children: besides those who played with ice magic, there were those who played with fire, those who played with armor, and those who could transform into demons.
"demon?"
The term immediately caught Juvia's attention. Overcoming her fear, she asked with a hint of curiosity.
In the universal understanding of people in this world, demons are synonymous with disaster and are terrifying creatures of incomparably evil.
Therefore, upon hearing that there were demons in "Fairy Tail," Juvia naturally felt curious and surprised, to the point that the other magic seemed quite ordinary.
"Yes, you devil, that girl had the same experience as you. Her family was even worse off; they were driven out by the villagers."
Moen nodded and began to recount the plight of Mira's family, which immediately resonated with Juvia. It turned out that she wasn't the only one in this situation. She knew that she was not far from being driven away by the villagers, just like her sister Mira.
What people need most is to find resonance and recognition. After learning about Mira's experience, Juvia's mood stabilized a lot, and she looked forward to Fairy Tail more. Her fear of the unknown future gradually dissipated.
The specific manifestation of this change in mood was that the rain outside was lessening, from a light drizzle to just occasional drops. This girl's mood was really easy to guess.
"I need to go and complete the tasks assigned by the village chief first. Juvia, you just wait here for me. I'll take you away when I get back."
Seeing that Juvia's emotions had gradually stabilized, Moen prepared to leave with peace of mind, as the tasks still needed to be done.
Now he vaguely understands one thing: the fact that this village can exist peacefully here is definitely thanks to "Rain Woman" Juvia. Whether it's bandits or monsters in the forest, they all tremble at the sight of this village.
This is magic that has directly affected the celestial phenomena. Anyone who doesn't understand the situation would be afraid, especially magical beasts that aren't very intelligent, who wouldn't dare to approach the village at all.
As for the bandits, the rain started pouring down like knives as soon as they arrived in the village; if they didn't run, they'd probably be crushed to death by the rain.
If these two hidden dangers aren't resolved now that Jubia's gone, he might be collecting the corpses of the entire village when he returns.
"Okay, Brother Moen, I'll wait for you here."
Juvia nodded seriously; she would stay home obediently.
After settling things over here, Moen left with the village chief. The village chief told Moen the general location of the bandit camp, but of course he didn't know the exact location of the camp, nor the monster's lair; Moen would have to find them himself.
Although the information was pitifully scarce, Moen could understand; it was indeed excessive to expect much information from these villagers.
As Moen entered the mountains and forests, he learned that although the Kingdom of Fiore had a population of over 20 million, its land area was not small. Many places were sparsely populated and had a lot of undeveloped mountains and forests. This was the state of its abnormal level of technology and infrastructure.
These vast undeveloped forests provide excellent hiding places for bandits and even dark guilds. Ordinary people dare not venture into these wild forests, for fear of being harmed by wild beasts and monsters.
However, Moen has already gained a lot of experience exploring these places, and he is almost evolving into a master of wilderness survival.
Since he was allowed to go out and take on more difficult missions, Moen's missions have mostly been fighting and killing, such as bandit suppression or monster hunting.
To complete these tasks, one naturally needs to venture into various forests every day, and also requires a very reliable tracking ability.
In that sense, it's quite believable that Moen could write "Sherlock Holmes." His daily task was to locate bandits and monsters in the mountains and forests by relying on various clues. His insight really does have a bit of Sherlock Holmes's quality.
Detective Moen found his target within two days of entering the forest.
The latest novel is first published here!
"As expected, it was organized by mages again."
Moen shook his head as he casually destroyed a rudimentary warning magic circle. There were quite a few mages who didn't want to abide by the rules of the Magic Council.
These people consider themselves superior and feel that the current status of mages does not meet their expectations, so they turn into villains and bully others.
The status of mages is already transcendent enough, beyond the reach of even secular laws. But what those people want is to be completely above ordinary humans, not to live in harmony as it is now. They want to turn ordinary humans into slaves.
"boom!"
Moen kicked the wooden door of the camp flying, and the bandits inside had already assembled. Because Moen did not hide his arrival, he directly triggered the warning magic.
"Child?"
The bandits were taken aback when they saw Moen.
"Are you looking to die?!"
Upon seeing Moen's youthful face, the bandits immediately relaxed, laughing arrogantly and looking utterly defeated.
"Ah, this is the taste!"
Seeing this, Moen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He had been praised so much lately that it seemed like everyone in the world knew him. But to feel this way again, being looked down upon by a bunch of lackeys, was a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
"Come and fight! Watch me beat you all to your knees!"
Moen smiled and took a stance, unleashing the "Pegasus Meteor Fist," with countless fist shadows pouring out like a stampede of ten thousand horses.
[Pegasus Meteor Fist - Intermediate, Proficiency: 121/1000]
The system popped up a notification that my proficiency level had improved slightly.
When Moen threw that punch, countless fist shadows were unleashed under the explosion of magic power. The momentum of ten thousand horses galloping was no joke; it was a real outpouring of magic power, just like ten thousand horses galloping.
The bandits lay scattered on the ground, none of them able to move. Several mages who were in charge also knelt on the ground, powerless to fight back, and were wiped out by Moen in one swift move. The entire camp seemed to have been trampled by a stampede of horses.
The intermediate Pegasus Meteor Fist has indeed become much stronger, but the difficulty of upgrading it has also increased significantly. I've only managed to improve my proficiency a little bit this time.
In other words, you need to wipe out at least eight or nine hundred bandit strongholds to level up. That doesn't make sense either; the higher you go, the harder it gets to level up. You might even need to wipe out tens of thousands of bandit strongholds.
"We really need to find a stronger opponent."
Moen sighed, saying that the efficiency of grinding experience in this kind of bandit camp was too low, not as good as a stronger monster.
