Chapter 439: Tie Haolong (1/2)
It was not only Xue Wei and his friends who decided to eat at the restaurant. Usually, it was not an extremely lucrative business to have a restaurant in the capital, but today many people gathered in the restaurant, all of which were ordering the most exclusive dishes and the most luxurious wines.
This was something that happened whenever a group of people was entering the battlefield, and the restaurant owner was cursing the leaders of the army camp for never warning them so that they could prepare a lot of food and drinks.
Xue Wei was drinking a spirit fruit wine that did not make one intoxicated, but still tasted like wine. Luoluo was drinking juice, Lan was drinking wine, Bai Tianyi and Hei Gou were drinking tea.
The dishes had a heavenly scent, all of them were mouthwatering delicious, and they dug in as soon as they arrived at the table.
When the others saw Xue Wei and his friends digging into the meals, they too wanted their food to arrive as soon as possible.
The day went by quickly, they ate their food, and when they had finished, they returned to the army camp. Their original plan was to get resources, and while they got some, the majority were gone by the time they had finally arrived.
Now they spent the last of the time, before they had to meet up, to ensure that they had all the things they needed, and condition their minds for the travel ahead.
The following day, all the selected soldiers gathered at the arena where they had been tested two days prior.
Here, the stoic and the happy-go-lucky man, were both waiting for them to arrive. Next to them was a whole group of tamed Fierce Beasts. All of them were of the same race; they were Golden-Winged Eagles.
The Golden-Winged Eagles were extremely fast, but they had been picked because of their size. They were so big that at least fifty people could sit on each eagle's back.
As such, although many beasts were still needed since there were so many people, it was a lot better than if they required a beast per person.
Although there were many bird-clan members in the Demon Phoenix Continent, it was hard to find a clan with more than two thousand members to their clan.
Xue Wei had flown on a beast long ago when he was trying to escape the prison in the Chang'an continent with the help of his swallow friend.
Since then, he had not flown on any beasts; he would usually fly on his own.
But because of the distance between the army camp, he was also reminded of Tie Haolong.
It had been a long time since Xue Wei had thought about Tie Haolong, and his heart was aching slightly. Tie Haolong was his friend when he was still in the Heping Kingdom.
