Chapter 1339: Chapter 130 Breakout_2
Xuan Yue walked with her head down, seemingly oblivious to the conversation around her, her brows furrowed as if deep in thought. Upon hearing Ah Dai’s question, she looked up blankly and said, "What? Big brother, what did you say?"
Ah Dai looked at Xuan Yue with a concerned expression and said, "I just mentioned that we shouldn’t stay here too long and should head to the Pu Yan tribe soon. Brother, what’s wrong with you? You don’t look well today. Is there something bothering you?" Since the night Ah Dai finally realized his own strength, his personality had begun to change. His once dull demeanor was gradually disappearing, and a commanding presence was forming, his every move exuding an air of authority. Lately, every night in his deep sleep, he would dream of fragmented memories flashing in his mind, becoming clearer by the day. It seemed like many people were fighting, with bursts of bright light often shining through, yet Ah Dai didn’t understand what it all meant.
Xuan Yue sighed and said, "Big brother, there’s nothing physically wrong with me, but I don’t know why, today I suddenly felt very uneasy, as if something bad has happened."
Yue Ji leaned in and said, "So you have the ability to predict, huh? Is there any danger coming our way? If there is, you have to predict accurately!"
Hearing Yue Ji’s words, Kino quickly seized the opportunity to show off. He puffed out his chest and said, "Miss Yue Ji, don’t worry. Even if there is danger, I’ll definitely protect you and won’t let you get hurt." Seeing Kino’s serious expression, Yue Ji felt a sense of amusement but did not reject him, responding dismissively, "There’s no need to show off so eagerly."
Kino immediately felt awkward and scratched his head, saying, "I... I meant what I said."
Xuan Yue said, "I don’t actually have the ability to predict. It’s a sort of vague spiritual connection, and it’s not necessarily us who are in trouble. Something has happened in the church. I’ve had this feeling ever since I was young. Whenever something major occurs in the church, I can feel it. I hope it’s nothing serious."
Ah Dai comforted her, "Brother, I think you’re worrying too much. Don’t you know how strong our church is? There’s no need to worry excessively. Let’s go to the Mercenary Guild headquarters. Don’t you want to exchange Yue Yue’s Mercenary Card? They definitely have Special Class Mercenary cards there. We just don’t know if there are any tasks related to the Death Mountain Range."
Looking into Ah Dai’s deep black eyes, Xuan Yue felt a bit better, yet she had a nagging feeling that things were not so simple. However, she also knew that worrying now was futile since they were far from the church, and it was too late to rush back even if there was an emergency. Unsure of what the Mercenary Guild headquarters would be like, Xuan Yue’s curiosity resurfaced, and she smiled, saying, "Okay, then! Big brother, why don’t you ask someone where the Mercenary Guild headquarters is?" Seeing Xuan Yue return to her normal self, Ah Dai flashed a faint smile and suggested, "Let’s ask in that store over there."
The five entered the store, which had various types of armor and weapons hanging on the walls—all ordinary items that they wouldn’t normally notice. As soon as the shop assistant saw the customers, he quickly approached with a smile on his face, "What can I do for you? This is the most famous Weapon Store in Red Hurricane City. If you name it, we almost certainly have it. Esteemed Magicians, we have some excellent Magic Artifacts here. Why not add one or two pieces to further enhance your magic skills?"
Yue Ji snorted disparagingly, "It seems like every Weapon Store in Red Hurricane City uses the same spiel. Who knows which one is really the best?"
The assistant’s expression turned slightly awkward, and he replied with a forced smile, "Those other stores are just bluffing. Our store is the most authentic Weapon Store. Please take a look around; our products are definitely of high quality."
Ah Dai said, "We’ve come from afar and aren’t looking to buy weapons, but to visit the Mercenary Guild headquarters. Could you please direct us there? Red Hurricane City is so big, where exactly is the Mercenary Guild headquarters located?"
Upon hearing Ah Dai mention the Mercenary Guild headquarters, the assistant immediately adopted a respectful demeanor and said, "The Mercenary Guild headquarters is located in the east of the city. It’s the tallest building in town. Just follow this main street eastward for about an hour, and you’ll naturally see it. However, because space at the headquarters is limited, and all mercenaries hope to visit this prestigious place, the Mercenary Guild has a rule that only mercenaries of Grade One and above are allowed direct entry into the headquarters. Other mercenaries must accept tasks from two other guild branches in the city. Red Hurricane City is the only place on the continent that boasts three Mercenary Guilds." He couldn’t help but beam with pride, clearly holding deep affection for Red Hurricane City.
Hearing his explanation, Olivia and Kino immediately looked dissatisfied, as Ah Dai, Xuan Yue, and Yue Ji were Special Class Mercenaries and thus not worried about this restriction; however, they were not mercenaries themselves. If it were as the assistant had said, they would be unable to enter the Mercenary Guild headquarters at all. Olivia couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t there any other way to get into the headquarters?"
