Chapter 1296: Chapter 121: Seeing Moon Scar Again
The two mercenaries were startled and hastily dodged, emitting a faint yellow battle aura in an attempt to block the Wind Blade attack. However, their strength was far from sufficient, and the Wind Blade released by Olivia accurately hit the leather armor on the shoulder of the mercenary who had just spoken. With a thud, the mercenary was knocked off balance and nearly fell, while his shoulder’s leather armor had already fractured. Olivia did not intend to kill; his control over magic was extremely precise, using just enough energy to cut through the leather armor but not harm the skin, which nonetheless scared the mercenary into a cold sweat.
The two mercenaries, enraged by Olivia’s attack, did not think twice. Amidst their cursing, they both drew broad longswords from their backs, tossed aside their baggage, and charged.
Olivia, hardly considering them a threat, cast an Acceleration Art on himself, his body floating back while he softly chanted a spell, sending out series of cyan Wind Blades at his opponents. He was very measured in his actions; the energy of the Wind Blades was just enough to break through their protective battle aura and scratch the skin, but not enough to cause irreversible damage.
"I XXX, will kill you—ouch, my hair!" "Ah! My leg." Under Olivia’s mocking, in just a moment, the two mercenaries were covered in wounds, looking utterly disheveled. Yet, they hadn’t even touched the hem of Olivia’s robe. Just then, with a flash, Ah Dai appeared beside Olivia, a sudden burst of white light forcefully repelling the two mercenaries, who fell to the ground and didn’t get up. The friction of their wounds against the ground made them shout in pain, constantly groaning.
It turned out that Ah Dai and two others were watching Olivia buy pears but got entangled with two mercenaries. Concerned for Olivia’s safety and wishing to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ah Dai came over to check, "Olivia, what happened? Why did you start fighting with them?"
Olivia snorted and said, "These two bastards were so arrogant. They didn’t pay for the pears they bought. When I scolded them, they even cursed at me. Naturally, they needed a lesson."
Ah Dai smiled slightly and said, "Why bother with them? You take the pears and go back first. I’ll handle this." Turning around, he walked towards the two mercenaries. Having just recovered from being thrown by Ah Dai, and clearly knowing the person emitting cyan light was a magician, how could they not fear a Magician? Seeing Ah Dai approaching, one mercenary forcefully said despite his fear, "What, what do you want?" The two struggled with their pain and barely got up from the ground, retreating a few steps to maintain a distance from Ah Dai.
Ah Dai indifferently said, "It’s only right to pay for what you buy. Pay for the pears, and you can leave." His eyes shooting a dazzling light, under his overpowering presence, the two mercenaries were completely shaken, unable to muster any thought of resistance. One of them pulled out two silver coins from his bosom and threw them to Ah Dai, resentfully saying, "Kid, remember this, we from the Moon Scar Mercenary Group won’t let this go easily." After speaking, he grabbed his companion and turned to leave.
Hearing the name "Moon Scar Mercenary Group," Ah Dai trembled all over. The figures of Moon Scar and Yue Ji vividly appeared in his mind, his heart warming. In an instant, he soared up and landed in front of the two mercenaries, his eyes intensely shining as he stared at the one who had spoken, urgently asking, "What did you say? Are you members of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group?"
The mercenary, startled by Ah Dai’s sudden appearance but thinking he was intimidated by their mercenary group’s strength, proudly said, "Yes, we are members of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. What? You’re scared now? Why didn’t you think of this earlier? You should know, our Moon Scar Mercenary Group is a Special Class Mercenary Group. Offend us, and you won’t be able to stay in the Red Charming Clan."
Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign place is such a joyous occasion! Getting news about Moon Scar and others here instantly delighted Ah Dai. Ignoring the other’s threats, he eagerly said, "Is the leader of your mercenary group Brother Moon Scar? Is he well?"
The mercenary, slightly startled, sized up Ah Dai, dressed in a red magician robe, and asked with some awe, "You know our leader?" Magicians hold a very esteemed position on the continent, second only to clergy. And knowing the leader, he wasn’t someone they could afford to offend. Though usually arrogant, he wasn’t foolish and knew the importance of the situation. His expression changed, and the earlier arrogance subsided, he awaited Ah Dai’s response.
"Of course, I know him. Initially, I even carried out missions with Brother Moon Scar. Where is he now? Tell me quickly. I must see him."
The mercenary awkwardly smiled and said, "So you are a friend of our leader! That was a misunderstanding earlier. The leader is doing well; he’s currently at the headquarters. May I ask, which mercenary group do you belong to?"
Ah Dai replied, "I am the vice leader of the Evil Sky Mercenary Group. How far is your headquarters from here? Take me to see Brother Moon Scar. It’s been a long time since we last met."
Hearing Ah Dai claim to be the vice leader of the Evil Sky Mercenary Group, the mercenary was greatly shocked and exclaimed, "What? You’re from the Evil Sky Mercenary Group. That’s great! Our leader once issued orders that anyone meeting members from the Evil Sky Mercenary Group should invite them to our group. So you really are the leader’s friend!" All doubts disappeared, and the mercenary looked at Ah Dai in surprise.
