[Ding! Mission triggered!]
Mission Title: "The Roaring Train!"
Task details:
Jud Heartfilia's plan is beneficial to the country and its people. As the number one guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, Fairy Tail should strongly support Jud and help him overcome various difficulties to complete the construction of the national railway.
Tip: Protect Jiude.
Task progress:
Help Jud Hatfilia complete the construction of the national railway. (Incomplete)
Mission Reward: Random Gold Cloth.
As the mission was triggered, Moen's eyes widened in surprise. The reward for this mission was a "random Golden Armor"!
This is completely unexpected. Is this task really that difficult? Or is it that the rewards for a task aren't entirely based on its difficulty?
However, upon further reflection, the difficulty of this matter is probably in another sense, and may not be any easier than defeating a powerful enemy.
To fully construct the national railway network of the Kingdom of Fiore would require a tremendous amount of time, effort, manpower, and resources. Even without any external obstacles, it would not be something that could be accomplished in a short period of time.
Moreover, this system prompt is quite interesting.
'Protect Jiude, does that mean...'
Moen narrowed his eyes; Jude Heartfilia was indeed a key figure.
Before this, Moen had already learned that the Heartfilia family was not large; besides Jude, they only had an eleven-year-old daughter, who was the sole heir to the Heartfilia Foundation.
Jiude was a devoted lover. He wasn't that old, but since his wife passed away in X777, he had completely given up on love and had no intention of remarrying.
Therefore, it is certain that there will be no more members in the Heartfilia family in this generation, and the eleven-year-old girl is under tremendous pressure.
This also means that if something happens to Jude, the Heartfilia Foundation will definitely encounter setbacks, the plan to develop the national railway will also be disrupted, and it may even be canceled altogether.
After all, with someone already in trouble, the next leaders might not have the courage to continue.
'Unless, they put that girl up there as a puppet.'
Thinking of this, Moen couldn't help but shake his head.
Instead of thinking about things that haven't happened yet, we should think about how to protect Jiude, this key figure.
With Jiude leading the way and doing the work, they don't need to worry about this matter. It's much easier than supporting a little girl puppet.
Looking at Jiude, who was excitedly and eloquently talking about the company's future development, Moen still recognized his abilities.
Moreover, after losing his wife, this man devoted almost all his energy to his work, seemingly using frantic work to numb himself. He rarely went home and practically lived at the company, completely transforming into a workaholic.
"By the way, Mr. Jiude, what's your daughter's name again?"
Thinking of this, Moen asked a question.
One can imagine that the only heir to the Heartfilia Foundation, that little girl who was only eleven years old, probably didn't have a very good life.
This is not referring to material things, but rather to spiritual things; the wealth of the Heartfilia family would hardly make it difficult for that little girl to live a poor life materially.
But on a spiritual level, it's no wonder that an eleven-year-old girl, who has just lost both her mother and father, can't be happy.
"My daughter? Her name is Lucy, what's wrong?"
Caught off guard by Moen's sudden question, Jude was completely bewildered. He couldn't understand why Moen would suddenly ask about his daughter.
However, at this moment, Jiude also remembered that Lucy was still a fan of Moen, and he had always forgotten to mention it.
"Moen, could you please sign your autograph? My daughter is a fan of yours and has asked me for this several times already."
After thinking about it, Jiude immediately spoke up, seeing it as a good opportunity to get closer to him.
"Oh? Of course."
Moen nodded in agreement, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared. He had heard the name Lucy before!
The last time I met those companions from the future, one of them was named Lucy, and she was also blonde!
Of course, whether it is the same person or not still needs further confirmation.
Just because Jiude has blond hair doesn't mean his daughter will necessarily have blond hair; they'll have to meet her in person to confirm her identity.
But that's not urgent; we need to take care of the important matters first.
He took a copy of "Sherlock Holmes," signed it, wrote a blessing on it, and then gave it to Jude.
"Thank you so much, now I have something to say when I get home."
Jiude smiled and took it, putting it into his bag.
"Although it may be a bit presumptuous to say this, Mr. Jude, Miss Lucy is, after all, your only heir. Even for the sake of the Heartfilia Foundation's future, you should pay more attention to that child and spend some time with her."
After considering it for a moment, Moen helped Lucy out. Regardless of whether she was a future companion, he wouldn't lose anything by speaking up for her. He just hoped that the girl's childhood would be a little easier.
"It's not that I don't want to be with her, it's just... I don't know if you can understand, but I really don't know how to get along with that child."
Moen's words made Jiude's expression a little awkward.
The main reason is that Moen is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Being given such earnest advice by Moen, who is also a child, naturally makes Jiude feel awkward.
But he didn't give her a hard time; instead, he explained very seriously that not knowing how to get along with his daughter was indeed one of the reasons he chose to avoid the situation.
Of course, before his wife passed away, he wasn't very good at communicating with his daughter either, but back then his wife acted as a mediator, so he didn't notice the problem. Now, the problem has suddenly become apparent.
"Not knowing how to communicate is not a reason to never see anyone."
Moen shook his head. It was understandable that there was a communication problem between the father and daughter, but you can't just keep disappearing, can you?
Sometimes, you don't need to say anything; just being there for someone is enough.
Moen concluded by saying that he had actually said a bit too much and overstepped his bounds by meddling in other people's family affairs right off the bat, which felt a bit like speaking too much without knowing them well. If it weren't for the fact that Jude still needed to rely on him and Fairy Tail, the other person might have already given him a cold shoulder.
Jiude remained silent, showing no other reaction, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.
"Ahem, when should we set off?"
Moen coughed twice and stopped talking about it, then changed the subject to something more serious, which made Jiude lively again.
"Three days later!"
Jiude answered seriously, saying that this was what he cared about most right now.
