81 Rage Mercenaries (1/2)
Erza slowly walked through the large streets. She was taking her time, looking for an inn and a restaurant. Interestingly, she felt that the atmosphere in the city was rather tense as if some big event was about to happen soon.
She then walked into a restaurant where people bustled about their business and the sweet aroma of food wafted into her nose.
Smelling the unique fragrance of meat and vegetables, Erza could not help but stop and admire the smell for a brief moment before continuing in. While she was on her journey, Erza had spent many days with a simple meal and tea and had not been able to eat any delicacies that only a city restaurant could offer.
In addition, every place had their own unique taste which was one of the reasons why people loved travelling.
At the beckoning of a waitress, Erza sat at a table so she 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 her and talked loudly over their meals.
”Do you know when this next 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 Erza's ears; the interesting tidbits she heard caused her ears to vibrate in interest. In thought, Erza muttered to herself, ”A wave of wild beasts, could it be that the beasts from the Desolate 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.”
Situated near the edge of Desolate Beast Mountain Range, Mirage was prone to beast waves. Even though beasts were welcomed in Black Snow Empire, they were limited to certain intellectual beasts, like the Dragons and Phoenixes.
Erza continued to eat her meal while listening to the noises around her. With each bite of food she made, she also digested the information she heard.
”Hey, look! Isn't that the Rage Mercenaries?”
One voice in particular stood out to Erza, and the moment the words registered in her head, Erza immediately froze in place as she was reaching out with her chopsticks to pick up a slice of meat.
Rage Mercenaries! If Erza did not remember wrongly and if things went just like what happened in the samsara world, Rage Mercenaries would later form a guild called Rage. And their future leader would be a vixen called Vanessa!
She was the reason behind Erza's misery in her first samsara life! She was the young concubine that Qi Long took! Of course, currently the girl was not born yet. She was the sole daughter of the first guild master of Rage.
Slowly raising her head, she looked out the door of the restaurant only to see a group of four armoured mercenaries with an impressive design walk into the building.
These four mercenaries had the same exact armour with an identical emblem imprinted on their armour. They walked to a table near Erza and sat down. After ordering a meal, the four began to talk quietly among themselves.
Following the entrance of the four Rage Mercenaries, the topics in the restaurant began to divert to be about the Rage Mercenaries.
