Chapter 346
Chapter 346 – Mercenary Corps’ Temporary Member (3)
“Vermillion Bird, if you and the adult Phoenix fight each other, how certain is your win?” Shen Yanxiao had to think about this plan carefully.
The Vermillion Bird humphed, “I and the Phoenix are both classified as fire magical beasts. If it was the same Mythological Beast, then it will depend on our ranks. I’m now at rank twelve, the peak of the Mythological Beast level. As long as the Phoenix wouldn’t be reborn, then it’s nothing to be worried about.”
With the Vermillion Bird’s guarantee, Shen Yanxiao didn’t have anything to worry about. And if the time came when they need to face the Phoenix, at the worst case scenario, they would just grab the Inflammation Grass and immediately run away. Having the Vermillion Bird to protect her, would she still be afraid?
Estimating the chips in her hands, Shen Yanxiao thought that this trip could be considered very safe.
But even so, she still needed to be more careful about the employer. She couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss about that employer to hire a lot of mercenary corps for this mission.
……
The next four days, Shen Yanxiao continued to run between the three branches. Ye Qing had also began teaching her some concoction techniques, and so her level in pharmaceutical field was also increasing.
On the fourth day, Shen Yanxiao took a leave and respectively gave a bow to Ye Qing, Yun Qi and to her mentor in the Archer Branch, saying that she needed to take a trip home.
And to prevent unexpected accidents, she also prepared more than ten bottles of potion for herself, half of it were intermediate level and the rest were low level potions.
Of course, before she left, she did not forget to say hello to the four animals. They didn’t asked her any questions but instead just waved their handkerchiefs and reminded her to give them some gifts when she came back.
With all things done, Shen Yanxiao finally felt at ease and took some sleep.
At the dawn of the next morning was when Shen Yanxiao and Du Lang agreed to meet, so she woke up early and left the Holy Roland School. She change her outfit in a hotel in Black City.
With an inconspicuous and simple mask and a simple clothing, Shen Yanxiao didn’t caught any attention as she walked through the Black City’s street.
And this morning, there was one topic going on throughout the whole Black City.
Early in the morning, a large number of mercenaries had gathered on Black City’s plaza. The mercenaries came from different mercenary corps and their numbers were now in thousands. For Black City’s mercenary corps to create such a big move, it wouldn’t be difficult to arouse the attention of the citizens of the Black City.
Soon, everyone noticed that the mercenaries who had gathered in the plaza were all from mid-sized corps of Black City, none of them were members of a small mercenary corps. Almost all the members of these mid-sized mercenary corps had crowded over the plaza.
Everyone was curious why were there a lot of mercenaries gathering together?
Some well-informed people, who manage to get some information from the mouth of the scattered mercenaries, said that these mercenary corps were hired by an employer in order to kill a high level magical beast.
People who heard this news couldn’t help but be secretly speechless. How much money had been spent to hire a lot of mercenaries? This meant that this employer was too wealthy!
The average employer would only hire up to one or two mid-sized mercenary corps. After all, a mid-sized mercenary corps wasn’t that cheap, ah.
And they heard that only the mid-size mercenary corps were accepted to take part in this task and those small-sized mercenary corps were simply disdained and rejected by the employer.
The people in the whole city were talking about this big movements from the mercenary corps. And in the midst of this all, a petite figure silently walked through the crowd and went were the other mercenary corps had gathered.
