Chapter 210: A Timely Meeting in the Restauran (1/2)

t

The caravan entered the city without any problems. Jian Chen and the Loyal Spirit Mercenaries bid each other farewell and set about their own paths.

Seeing Jian Chen walk farther and farther away, Hudolf had a look of hesitation on his face as he sat on his mount. His head lowered in thought before biting his lips as if he had reached a conclusion before turning to look at this group of mercenaries. “Brothers, after all of the goods are delivered properly, do not leave yet. There is one more matter I wish to talk to everyone about.”

“Yes, captain!”

The Loyal Spirit Mercenaries all cried out in agreement. Although each one of them had some sort of question on their mind, not a single one of them said it out loud.

……

Jian Chen walked through the large streets, but unlike last time, Jian Chen felt that the atmosphere in the city was heavier as if some big event was about to happen soon.

He then walked into a restaurant where people bustled about their business and the sweet aroma of food wafted into his nose.

Smelling the unique fragrance of meat and vegetables, Jian Chen couldn’t help but stop and admire the smell for a brief moment before continuing in. While he resided within the Huang Village, Jian chen had spent many days with a simple meal and tea and hadn’t been able to eat any delicacies that only a city restaurant could offer.

At the beckoning of a waitress, Jian Chen sat at a table so he could have a meal to eat. There was a window located by the table.

Right now the day was already noon so the restaurant was full of people. A group of sturdy looking people sat near him and talked loudly over their meals.

“Do you know when this next magical beast wave will happen or how long it’ll last?”

“The city lord made an announcement; the wave should occur within a few days time. But according to the last wave, this wave might last for over ten days.”

The sounds of chatter reached Jian Chen’s ears; the interesting tidbits he heard caused his ears to vibrate in interest. In thought, Jian Chen muttered to himself, “A wave of magical beasts, could it be that the magical beasts from the Magical Beast Mountain Range are coming to besiege the city? If so, then it’s no wonder that the atmosphere in the city is so tense.”

With that, Jian Chen continued to eat his meal while listening in on the men talking to each other. With each bite of food he made, he digested the information he heard.

“Hey, look! Isn’t that the Zhou Mercenaries?”

One voice in particular stood out to Jian Chen, and the moment the words registered in his head, Jian Chen immediately froze in place as he was reaching out with his chopsticks to pick up a slice of meat. Slowly raising his head, he looked out the door of the restaurant only to see a group of four armored mercenaries with an impressive design walk into the building.

These four mercenaries had the same exact armor with an identical emblem imprinted on their armor. Aside from the helmets, these mercenaries looked to be the same exact ones like the ones Jian Chen had met at the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

The four Zhou Mercenaries walked to a table near Jian Chen and sat down. After ordering a meal, the four began to talk quietly among themselves.
