The Good For Nothing Seventh Young Lady's
Chapter 324: The Deal
The woman took the purple gold card and pulled three thousand gold coins, then returned the card to Shen Yanxiao afterward.
“Please go to the waiting room in the back for a bit, and we will find someone to visit and inform the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps so they can come and give you the things you need.”
Shen Yanxiao nodded her head. The woman then let a staff guide Shen Yanxiao to the waiting room. Those few mercenaries, who were standing in front of the front desk, looked at Shen Yanxiao's back, their eyes were no longer filled with contempt but rather a strong feeling of envy.
Such a small fart boy casually took out a purple gold card. How could some of them, who were tired from work, swallow this !?
Constantly comparing oneself to others will only make one angry. Comparing what you have with others will make you throw away what you have.
After Shen Yanxiao arrived at the lounge, she found a place to sit down.
It was naturally best to be able to find what he wanted so smoothly, but he had no idea how long those three things had been removed from the magical beast's body. If there were still a few more days out of seven days, he could at least have more time to prepare. But if it was going to end soon, he was afraid that he could only discuss with Qi Xia and go to the Pharmaceutical Warehouse of the Holy Roland School tonight.
After waiting for a while, a tall figure appeared in front of the lounge.
A man about thirty-five years old entered from the doorway. He looks very capable and experienced with his clothes. On his waist hung a large and cold sword. His skin was dark and his sharp face looked extremely dignified. The corner of his eyebrow had a ferocious scar.
After entering the waiting room, the man looked around and realized the whereabouts of Shen Yanxiao, he then headed straight towards her.
“I am the head of the Cave Wolves Pay Army Corps, Du Lang. Are you a guest who wants to buy our stuff? Du Lang looked at the extremely thin Shen Yanxiao and a trace of shock passed through his eyes.
He had just received a notification from the Mercenary Trade Union saying that there was someone who wanted to purchase the three rank five magical beast items that he had entrusted to them. So he personally rushed over, but he did not think that the guest who wanted to buy these three items was actually a child.
Compared to Du Lang's tall and sturdy figure, Shen Yanxiao looked like a malnourished youth.
Du Lang knew very well that the price of the goods he entrusted to the Mercenary Trade Union was quite high. And most people rarely spent three thousand gold coins to buy these items. After all, they are not magic nuclei. Three thousand gold coins were enough to purchase an original mid-tier magic core.
The little boy in front of him, no matter from which aspect, seemed like he could not take out a large amount of gold coins at once.
But since the Mercenary Trade Union had told him, they must have already received the payment.
Although Du Lang felt a little curious, he also did not want to ask for the details. After all, the rule of the city was not to ask too much from the guests.
Shen Yanxiao nodded, "It's me."
After confirming Shen Yanxiao's identity, Du Lang immediately took out three half-sleeved glass bottles from his ring.
The three glass bottles were filled with three kinds of items that were cut from the magical beasts that Shen Yanxiao needed.
"This is the item you bought, you can confirm it." Du Lang neatly placed three glass bottles on the table in front of Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao examined them one by one, and she let Xiu look at the time span of these three items.
Xiu told him that the time of death of the magical beast, which of these three objects were cut, was about five days or so.
In other words, Shen Yanxiao still had two days to prepare before going to the Pharmaceutical Warehouse.
Right at the moment when Du Lang handed the items over to Shen Yanxiao, he inevitably quietly observed this "young guest. Du Lang had seen many extraordinary events over the years he had been in the Black City. And he could faintly see from the bone structure of Shen Yanxiao's face that her current appearance was not her original appearance.
In the Black City, face-changing masks were a very common thing. But the workmanship of this guest-worn face-changing mask was clearly more exquisite than the most advanced masks sold in the Black City. Had it not been for Du Lang's above average understanding of the structure of human bones, it would have been difficult for him to realize that Shen Yanxiao was actually wearing a mask.
As far as Du Lang knew, things that required the use of items from the body of magical beasts were not that simple. They were used in many advanced potions, and it could also be used in many magic arrays. Even though the child before his eyes looked extremely inconspicuous, he was actually a great person, completely unlike the one seen on the surface.
Moreover, Du Lang's reputation in Black City was very good. Once the people of Black City heard his name, there would more or less be a reaction.
But just now, he observed Shen Yanxiao's reaction and he was very calm. He seemed unmoved by his name.
His words were very short, there was almost no tension and there was not even half an exaggerated word. He looked capable and experienced, not at all like an ordinary child.
In the world of rumors, it was said that there was a secret method that could change one's appearance completely. And even a seven-foot-tall man can shrink into a child. Du Lang subconsciously connected Shen Yanxiao with that rumored secret method.
Also, according to the rumors, anyone who could practice such a secret method had unfathomable power. Du Lang once again looked at Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao did not care at all about Du Lang's secret gaze. After the matter was over, he was now more worried about when it was possible to undo the nine-arc magic array from the Pharmaceutical Warehouse of the Holy Roland School. Once he could freely access the storehouse and get in and out, he could take at least more than half of the medicinal herbs needed for the Blood Feast Potion. This will save him from a lot of trouble.
The lounge was quiet, and Shen Yanxiao was already preparing to leave when a tall figure suddenly entered from the door.
A young man of about twenty-five years old walked towards Du Lang inside the lounge.
"Leader, we just received an assignment." The young man said.
Du Lang looked at the young man and asked, “What task?”
The youth was currently a member of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps, and although he did not possess any extraordinary strength, he was an intelligent person. The members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps all knew that Du Lang had an important matter to deal with, if not for an important task, he would not have come to find it.
The young man looked at Shen Yanxiao and secretly muttered why there was such a little brat in the Mercenary Trade Union lounge. Didn't the Leader say that someone wanted to buy mid-level magical beast items? Why didn't he see his guests?
The young man was confused for a moment, then he immediately said, “It was a duty to kill magical beasts. But the purpose of this task was very rare, it was rank eight Phoenix.”
Shen Yanxiao almost left the waiting room when she heard the word "Phoenix," her footsteps immediately stopped.
He really did not know what to think about this situation. Xiu had just told her that Inflammation Grass grew in the Phoenix's nest. And tonight, he actually heard the news about the Phoenix? In order to obtain the Inflammation Grass, Shen Yanxiao immediately decided to first listen to the young man's words, then she could make plans later.
Yet…
Rank eight Phoenix?
According to what Xiu said, the Phoenixes were already ranked eight to nine when they were born. Then, could the master's goal be a newborn baby?
Shen Yanxiao frowned slightly, she felt that something was wrong.
Du Lang was also stunned for a moment after hearing the word Phoenix.
Phoenix, this kind of magical beast was only heard in rumors by most people. Hundreds of years have passed now and they have never seen what the Phoenix truly looks like. And now, someone actually took out the task of killing the Phoenix? It's really something unbelievable.
“You sure you didn't hear wrong?” Du Lang asked doubtfully.
The young man nodded, “I'm sure! The employer gave a high commission. It's not just our mercenary corps. As far as I know, over ten middle mercenary corps in Black City have also received the same task.”
Du Lang touched his chin. Since the person who issued the task dared to spread it among the many mercenary corps, it seemed like the news was true. Because, even though the news was wrong and the task failed, the employer still had to pay the original price to each mercenary corps that would participate in this task.
But…
Phoenixes …
“Nobody has seen Phoenix for hundreds of years. All information about it can only be seen from books. Since the man can find news about Phoenix, we better go with him.” As mercenaries, gold coins were their main pursuit, whereas for other things, they were not particularly interested in him.
A rank eight magical beast was considered a high-level magical beast. The general middle mercenary corps had no way of killing them alone, so the other party could only hire a lot of middle-sized mercenaries in Black City together.
This action is not a small step, ah.
“Xiu, don't you think it's weird?” Shen Yanxiao listened quietly at the side, and the more she heard, the more she felt that something was wrong.
“Rank eight Phoenix is obviously just a kid. Do you think a newborn baby will show up on its own?” Shen Yanxiao frowned slightly, she finally knew why she felt strange. A newborn beast, there must be guards guarding it. And it was more or less an adult Phoenix, and its lowest level was the level of a Mythological Beast. But the news the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps received only mentioned the eighth rank Phoenix, which was obviously very unreasonable.
It is highly unlikely for the child to appear alone unless separated from the mother soon after birth.
But since magical beasts had a strong sense of smell, it was impossible for them to lose their children. Even if they were seven hundred or eight hundred miles away, they could still find their children just by smell.
“It is clear that there are some problems with the news they receive. The current knowledge of the Human Race about the Phoenix was sorely lacking. They only knew that the Phoenix was an extremely rare beast, but they did not know about the level of the Phoenix.' Xiu said indifferently. His words were somewhat filled with contempt for the Human Race, and his ice-cold tone pierced through one's heart and bones.
Shen Yanxiao noticed that Xiu used strange words in his sentence – Human Race!
Is Xiu not human?
