Chapter Nineteen Mutual Conversation
The three people present must be unaware that they have already become examples of evil deeds in the young man's heart, otherwise they would definitely cry out for themselves.
"Heh heh, Brother Liu, I've come to discuss something with you this time. Mainly about how we should proceed on our journey from here." Hua An pushed the map on the table in front of him and smiled.
"Huh? This shortcut doesn't seem to have any difficult parts?" Liu Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Or do you know something I don't?"
Hua An smiled wryly and said, "Liu brother, you really love to joke. What do I know? I just called everyone over for a casual discussion."
Liu Feng glanced at the three team leaders, saw that their faces were extremely calm, and did not ask any questions due to the strangeness of this task, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
The lazy one yawned, raised an eyebrow, and smiled lightly: "Well... everyone continue discussing, I'm not familiar with this place, no suggestions, the three team leaders are enough."
The three team leaders heard this obvious excuse and couldn't help but exchange a glance with each other, failing to understand his meaning.
Hua An above however clearly heard his meaning, her complexion slightly changing.
If the person in front of him was really Kens, the original captain of the ordinary mercenary group, he would have already waved his hand and driven him away. However, this young man who represents the Blazing Mercenaries is unfathomably powerful, even to himself, and it's hard to gauge his depth. If they had someone like him taking care of things along the way, the mission would likely be much easier.
Forcing a benevolent smile on his face: "Liu brothers, don't be in a hurry first, I want to talk to you about the mercenary fee for hiring your mercenary group."
Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood that this person wanted to use money to keep himself.
A hint of amusement in his heart, he crossed his legs and laughed: "Oh? Isn't the commission at the Mercenary Guild?"
"Hehe." Seeing Liu Feng's intention to retreat seemed to have been withdrawn, Hua An secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart and hastily replied: "That was just a small portion of the mercenary group's earnings, there will be more after the task is completed, not one less will be given to the mercenary group."
Liu Feng smiled and nodded, but in his heart he cursed: "Bullshit, if it were the captain who came, you would swallow these words forever."
"Alright, haha, I'll take it on behalf of the team leader, got it."
Someone offers you money, just stretch out your hand and take it, why refuse?
"Heh heh, Brother Liu, now we can discuss the route ahead together, right?" Hua An asked cautiously.
After nodding at Liu Feng, he hastily handed over the map and pointed to a location on it, smiling: "Brother Liu, when we get here, perhaps it will be up to you and the three team leaders."
Liu Feng's eyes slightly condensed, staring at where his finger was pointing.
That's exactly where you get that one thread of unease, a short cut through the Beastman Great Plains, but it's a necessary path.
"Why is it that now we're here, it's up to us?" Liu Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
When Liu Feng asked this question, the three team leaders were stunned and also cast their eyes on Hua An's face, which had changed slightly.
There is some quiet in the tent.
"After a long time, Hua An smiled bitterly and shook his head, 'This is our Chamber of Commerce's secret, it's really inconvenient to tell everyone, please forgive me.'"
The three team leaders all furrowed their brows, but looking at the generous reward, they could only suppress the discontent in their hearts.
Liu Feng tapped his fingers on the table, suddenly stopping abruptly, and Hua An's old heart skipped a beat, fearing that this young man with a bad temper would leave immediately.
Liu Feng's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he sank into thought for a moment before saying, "Since it's a secret of your Chamber of Commerce, I won't ask any more questions."
Hua An finally let out a sigh of relief.
"But..."
Hua An's eyes were fixed on Liu Feng's mouth, afraid that he would say something about quitting.
Upon seeing Hua An's expression, Liu Feng's heart felt a sense of joy, and he smiled: "Hehe, don't worry, I just wanted to say that we will increase the reward for this mission based on the difficulties encountered during the journey. Moreover, when you arrive at the destination, you must also apply for a rank at the Mercenary Guild that matches the difficulty of this mission. What do you three team leaders think?"
The three team leaders looked at each other, nodded, and indicated their agreement with this suggestion.
Hua An felt relieved upon hearing Liu Feng's suggestion, and quickly nodded his head: "Alright, alright, it's settled then. If this mission is truly completed, I will definitely apply to the Chamber of Commerce to give you double the reward."
With a relatively good start, the atmosphere also began to relax.
Hua An ordered his attendants to bring up wine and dishes, and they all drank freely together.
The liquor is called Dragon's Breath, a type of grass leaf stained by the giant dragon's Dragon's Breath. The name of the grass is also Dragon's Breath Grass. The wine made from this kind of grass leaf is extremely strong and is the favorite of dwarves. Of course, there are many people in human countries who like this feeling too.
Liu Feng gazed at the cup of Qing-colored Longxi wine, and in his heart, he secretly smiled: "If Badasu smelled the flavor of this wine, he would definitely wake up from his deep sleep."
He shook his head, raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, and his attendants hastily came forward to refill it.
The Blood Wolf opposite him couldn't help but raise his thumb, loudly praising: "Good, Brother Liu not only has strong abilities, I didn't expect that even drinking would be so generous."
Liu Feng smiled slightly, and his praise was not undeserved, because he knew in his heart that if it weren't for the true energy inside him, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the intense wine that had entered his body.
Suddenly a movement in her bosom, she lowered her head and looked up, it turned out that Little Jin was moving back and forth in her arms.
Seeing its strange movement, Liu Feng was startled at first and asked anxiously: "Little Jin, what's wrong?"
Xiao Jin lifted his small dragon head and stared at the full bottle of Longxi wine on the table with his bright, watery eyes.
A soft and tender voice whispered: "Want... I want you to drink it."
Liu Feng followed his gaze and was taken aback, raising his cup and asking in surprise: "You want this?"
Xiao Jin nodded at that lovely head.
"This is quite strong." Liu Feng's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Wuu... want." Little Jin saw the thing she loved in front of her, but couldn't drink it, so she could only pitifully wail and throw a tantrum at this person who was like family to her.
Liu Feng, who was caught off guard by Xiao Jin's sudden attack, carefully handed the wine cup to Xiao Jin and whispered: "Drink a little less, this stuff is..."
The words had barely fallen when Xiao Jin's actions stunned him into a daze.
Only to see Little Jin's body twist, instantly shrinking several dozen times, turning into a small loach, slipping into the wine cup, sucking out the Dragon's Breath Wine in one gulp, and quickly scurrying out, restoring its original size, curling up in his arms, and going back to sleep.
"My god, bone shortening surgery??? Liu Feng's mouth was agape, "This is also too ridiculous, right?"
He looked up and saw that everyone was drinking and hadn't noticed this side, and Xiao Jin's small body didn't draw much attention.
Adjusted his clothes, stood up, waved at everyone and swayed out.
