Chapter 528: Chapter 130: Break Out_2
Xuan Yue was walking with her head down, seemingly oblivious to what others were talking about. Her brows were furrowed as if she was deep in thought. Hearing Ah Dai’s question, she lifted her head and asked, "What? Big brother, what did you say?"
Ah Dai looked at Xuan Yue with a concerned expression and said, "I was just mentioning that we shouldn’t linger here for too long and should head to the Pu Yan Tribe as soon as possible. Brother, what’s wrong with you? Your color doesn’t look so good today! Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Ever since Ah Dai had acknowledged his true strength that night, his personality started to gradually change. His former woodenness slowly disappeared, replaced by an imposing aura that revealed a hint of majesty in his every action. Recently, every night when he slept, he would dream about those fragmentary scenes that used to flash in his mind. Somehow, the images seemed clearer, resembling a huge battle with brilliant lights bursting from the shadowy figures, but Ah Dai didn’t understand what it all represented.
With a sigh, Xuan Yue replied, "Big brother, I’m not physically uncomfortable, but for some reason, today I feel an inexplicable anxiety, as if something has happened."
Yue Ji leaned over and said, "So you have predictive abilities! Are we in some kind of danger? If so, make sure to predict accurately, okay?"
Hearing Yue Ji’s words, how could Kino miss an opportunity to impress? He immediately asserted, "Don’t worry, Miss Yue Ji. Even if there is danger, I will protect you and not let you be harmed." Seeing Kino’s earnest expression, Yue Ji felt amused. She neither rejected nor agreed, but said irritably, "There’s no rush to impress."
Upon hearing this, Kino instantly felt awkward and scratched his head, "I... I’m speaking my heart."
Xuan Yue said, "I don’t have any predictive abilities. This is more like a vague spiritual connection. And it’s not that we are in danger, but rather something must have happened within the Church. It’s a feeling I’ve had since childhood. Every time something major happens in the Church, my heart beats more rapidly. I just hope it’s not too serious."
Ah Dai comforted, "Brother, I think your worries are needless. Don’t you know how powerful your Church is? There is no need to worry excessively. Let’s go to the Mercenary Guild. Don’t you want to upgrade Yue Yue’s mercenary card? There must be a Special Class Mercenary card there. I’m just unsure if they will have any tasks related to the Death Mountain Range."
Looking into Ah Dai’s deep black eyes, Xuan Yue felt a little better, but she had an odd feeling that things were not that simple. However, she knew worrying now was unnecessary. They were far away from the Church and could not rush back even if something had happened. She wondered what the Mercenary Guild would be like. Her curiosity overcoming her anxiety, she smiled and said, "Alright then! Big brother, why don’t you go ask someone where the Mercenary Guild is?" Seeing Xuan Yue regain her usual demeanor, a faint smile appeared on Ah Dai’s face. He looked at a small shop nearby and said, "Let’s ask over there."
The five of them walked into the store, which was lined with all sorts of armor and weapons hanging on the walls. Everything was pretty ordinary with no distinctive items, which naturally failed to attract their attention. The moment they walked in, a sales assistant immediately greeted them with a broad smile, "Welcome, what would you like to purchase? We are the most famous weapon store in Red Hurricane City. If you can name it, we probably have it. Esteemed mages, we have some excellent magic artifacts. Would you like to buy a few? They would certainly enhance your magic skills."
Yue Ji scoffed disdainfully, "It seems all weapon stores in Red Hurricane City make the same claim. Who knows which one is genuine?"
The assistant’s face showed a bit of embarrassment, but he forced a smile and said, "Those stores are merely boasting. We are the most authentic weapon store here. Feel free to browse around, everything here is top-class."
Ah Dai replied, "We’ve traveled a long way and didn’t come to buy weapons but to visit the Mercenary Guild. Could you direct us there? Red Hurricane City is so big, where is the Mercenary Guild exactly?"
Upon hearing Ah Dai mention the Mercenary Guild, the assistant immediately showed a respectful expression "The Mercenary Guild is located to the east of the city. It’s the tallest building in the entire city. Just follow this street eastwards for about an hour and you will see it. However, due to limited space and the desire of all mercenaries to visit this renowned place, the Guild has imposed rules that only mercenaries of rank 1 or above are allowed entry. The other mercenaries must take jobs from the other two branches in the city. Red Hurricane City is the only place on the continent with three mercenary guilds." He said, a proud look appearing on his face, clearly full of passion for Red Hurricane City.
After hearing his words, Olivia and Kino immediately looked unhappy. Ah Dai, Xuan Yue, and Yue Ji were Special Class Mercenaries who were not bound by this restriction. However, they weren’t mercenaries at all. If the assistant’s words were true, they wouldn’t be able to enter the Mercenary Guild. Olivia couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t there any other way to get into the Guild?"
