Chapter 865 Dragon Rider Mercenary Group
"Hello, senior," Luo Li nodded, "I am Luo Li."
"Miss Luo," Pei Su was very tall and looked dignified, but he showed gentleness when he smiled.
He said, "Our Dragon Rider Mercenary Group isn't particularly strong, but it's more than enough to protect you kids. If you're willing, how about staying with our mercenary group?"
Luo Li curled her lips, "Thank you very much, Captain Pei. I am indeed a little curious about the ancient god's inheritance, and I won't cause any trouble for you."
Hearing this, Pei Su smiled heartily and waved his hand, "I admire young people like you. We have only accepted a small task, so it's not a big deal. Luo girl, just follow us."
Luo Li smiled and said nothing.
Barrett and the others had even less to say and just found a place to sit down.
On the side, Shen Hui pulled Pei Su away and said something to him. When he said the last sentence, his face turned red with anger and he frowned fiercely, obviously he was very angry.
Pei Xia turned around and pointed to a group of dragon cavalry mercenaries who were busy preparing not far away. They were checking their equipment or talking in low voices, full of energy.
"Our mercenary group was established not long ago. My father was originally the deputy leader of the Silver Dragon Mercenary Group. Later, he and the leader had a falling out, so he established the Dragon Rider Mercenary Group. Some of the brothers in the group also left the Silver Dragon Mercenary Group with my father at that time."
"However, the Silver Dragon Mercenary Group is the number one mercenary group on the continent. After the Dragon Rider Mercenary Group was established, due to the Silver Dragon, few people joined us, which led to our situation not being very good."
"Father thinks I know nothing. I'm not a child anymore, how could I not know anything?"
Luo Li laughed when she heard this, "You're telling me this too?"
Pei Xia laughed heartily and said, "This isn't a secret. Anyone who pays attention to the mercenary group basically knows about it. Besides, if you want to follow me, I have to let you know. Otherwise, what if Silver Dragon targets you because of this?"
The setting sun shone, and Pei Xia's words drifted gently in the breeze. Luo Li tilted her head, her eyes falling on Pei Xia's resolute face, and a smile appeared on her face.
Pei Xia has a wild look, wheat-colored skin, and a high ponytail. The smile at the corner of her lips is sincere and heroic.
Luo Li also smiled, "I'm not part of your mercenary circle, I'm afraid he can't target me."
The two smiled at each other.
That night.
A bonfire was lit in the camp, and Pei Xia pulled her to sit by it.
Pei Su and the two deputy heads of the group were discussing this mission, but he couldn't hear clearly.
Luo Li glanced sideways, "The ancient god's inheritance, is it a secret realm?"
Hearing this, Pei Xia shook his head. "Not all of them. Sometimes they are secret realms or ruins, and sometimes they are even magical beasts or spiritual weapons. So no one knows the specifics. We can only know when the ancient gods' inheritance appears in the world."
Luo Li nodded, her eyes full of thought, "Is that so..."
Pei Xia nodded, said nothing more, and concentrated on roasting the spirit rabbit in his hand.
Luo Li's gaze passed through the dancing flames and into the deep night sky, where the stars were like pearls inlaid on the black curtain.
She gently picked up a strand of hair that was ruffled by the night wind, looked at Xiaoliu and the others beside her, and smiled.
Pei Xia was grilling meat silently on the side. The firelight reflected on her focused face, and the crackling sound of the fire made her feel relaxed.
The air is filled with a faint scent of pine, intertwined with the aroma of barbecue, making people feel warm, as if even the slightly cool night has become gentle.
Luo Li smiled gently and took out a pot of warm spirit wine from the space ring. The aroma of the wine instantly intertwined with the aroma of meat and wood, making it even more mellow and tempting.
She leaned over and filled Pei Xia's glass. In the moonlight, the wine was as crystal clear as amber.
Pei Xia took it, she smiled widely, raised her hand and drank it all, her eyes lit up, "Good wine!"
Seeing Pei Su's gaze, Luo Li simply took out a dozen more pots and threw them in front of them, "Want to try it?"
The mercenaries' eyes lit up as they saw the spirit wine jugs draw graceful arcs in the air and land steadily on the grass in front of them with a slight "thump thump" sound.
The body of the pot reflects the moonlight, as if it is inlaid with countless tiny silver beads, sparkling with charming light.
Pei Su and the others reached out to pick up the wine jugs and gently uncorked them. A richer aroma than before filled their noses, seemingly tinged with a hint of spiritual energy, lifted their spirits. They smiled at each other, knowing from just one sniff that this was a rare, fine wine.
Pei Su laughed and said, "Thank you, little girl Luo, this wine smells really good!"
Luo Li raised her wine glass and said, "As long as Captain Pei likes it."
Pei Su raised his head and drank deeply. The wine slid down his throat like silk, leaving a hint of warmth and sweetness.
In the moonlight, his eyes seemed to be stained by the aroma of wine, sparkling with a strange brilliance.
All around, the mercenaries were either sipping their drinks or drinking heartily, each of their faces filled with satisfaction and joy.
On the grass, the aroma of wine and laughter intertwined into a moving picture. Even the leaves swaying in the distance seemed to be infected by the joyful atmosphere and rustled.
The night breeze blew gently, carrying with it the faint aroma of wine and the freshness of grass leaves. Luo Li opened her red lips slightly, smiled sweetly, and chatted and laughed with the mercenaries beside her.
She found these mercenaries very interesting, and their views on the continent were different from those of the children of aristocratic families.
They would swear and talk openly about past battles and the madness of life and death.
A big bearded man, patting his chest, recounted his heroic feat of single-handedly repelling a group of monsters, spit flying as he spoke.
Next to him, a thin boy chuckled and added that it was he who secretly threw stones from behind to divert the monster's attention.
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. Luo Li was also amused by this straightforward and sincere friendship, and her eyes flashed with a special recognition of this group of rough guys.
The firelight reflected on everyone's face, infinitely magnifying the warmth of this gathering.
Pei Su raised his glass and drank again, his heroic laughter echoing in the night sky, as if it could dispel all fatigue and gloom.
Not far away, a pair of young mercenaries were whispering with their heads down, their eyes flashing with longing and dreams for the future, and all of this was quietly witnessed by the gentle moonlight.
The next morning, Luo Li stretched and walked out of the tent.
The mountains in the distance were shrouded in mist, appearing even more mysterious in the haze. Occasionally, the roars of animals pierced the quiet air.
The mercenaries have woken up one after another. Some are sorting their equipment, while others are making fires and cooking. The smoke rises up, interweaving with the morning mist, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.
Pei Su was squatting on the side, concentrating on wiping his heavy sword. The sword light flickered in the morning sun, reflecting his resolute face.
