Chapter 93: The Twin Blades Mercenary Group

  Mannister City was extremely far from Chrysanthemum City, located at the southernmost part of the Continent of Gods, on the edge of the Gods' Graveyard.

  The so-called Gods' Cemetery is said to be the main battlefield of the great war of the gods 5,000 years ago. Countless divine spirits fell in the Gods' Cemetery and were buried in a piece of land in the south of the Gods' Continent, along with their divine aura!

  What is called the divine, according to ancient records, as long as one becomes a god after becoming a god, a crystal will be generated. The function of this crystal is currently unknown, but the living beings on the continent of gods believe that as long as they possess the divine, they can become gods!

  Therefore, the city pool on the edge of the gods' tomb is very developed, and countless adventurers flock to it. The strong are also eager to try their luck in this land, as they all want to find the divine aura left behind by the fallen gods in the gods' tomb, so that they can ascend to heaven and become a god among living things!

  The God Graveyard is vast and perilous, and Longwang Kayak Nicholas once said that some magical beasts nurtured by the divine light left over from the Gods' War in the God Graveyard may not be high in intelligence or rank, but their strength can even threaten him. As for those high-ranking magical beasts that are also nurtured by the divine light, even the Dragon Emperor himself cannot contend with them.

  The Dragon Emperor said that the Gods' Cemetery is dangerous, which shows just how perilous the Gods' Cemetery is to ordinary people!

  Perhaps it is precisely because of this that no one has ever been able to enter the inner sanctum of the gods' tomb, and no one has ever attained divinity!

  "Zayn, you said that Mo Chu came to our city lord's mansion as a chef, what was the real reason?" Li Xie had been thinking about this question all along on their way to Manchester City.

  How could a super master like Double Eleven come to his lord's mansion as a chef for no reason? Is he plotting something, but what is he plotting? Or does he have no intention of plotting, and it's just Li Xie's charm?

  Zayn didn't seem to understand either, so he simply ignored Li Xie.

  This made Li Xie feel a bit depressed, and now he regretted not bringing Kano along. Why? To go to Manchester City, at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, flying for eight hours a day, it would take about seven days!

  Having a cool guy who doesn't like to talk by your side for such a long time, isn't it a very miserable thing?

  Of course, apart from this taciturn cool guy, there was a little cat on Li Ye's head. The little cat was talkative, but the problem was that Li Ye couldn't understand her language!

  "Zain, this time around, you must protect my safety well. I've heard that there are countless strong people in Manchester City. If you see someone who is more powerful than you or about the same level as you, remember to remind me so I can be polite."

  "Zain, do you think we can get a few 8th-tier magic beasts on this trip? I'm not being greedy, having a few hundred 7th-tier magic beasts would be fine. This time, I brought a full 700 million gold coins! Hmm... it seems like that's not enough to buy that many, okay, let's first see if we can get familiar with the mercenaries."

  "My god, it's been two days, can't you even respond with a couple of sentences?"

  "Yes, sir!" Zayn finally responded.

  "Get out of my face! Please, I'm going to suffocate!"

  "Zain, how about getting some blood to drink?"

  "There's a Kirov airship ahead!" Zaynab said, again answering a question that hadn't been asked.

  "I don't care about the airship, please keep me company and chat with me... Hmm! The airship! Master Meng is on board! I finally don't have to face these two idiots anymore!"

  Li Xie was extremely excited, this was already the sixth day of flying, for six days, Zaynarde had said nothing more than his fingers could count, and as for the meow on top, it didn't even need to be mentioned, apart from drinking, this little cat just crouched and blew wind, occasionally making a pretentious meowing sound.

  Anyway, Li Xie couldn't understand what she was saying, but Zeennard still shouted two beastly sentences at her, which infuriated Li Xie. Suddenly, he became a rare species between the two beasts.

  I can finally see the airship, indicating that there are people on it, meaning Li Xie can communicate with others and doesn't have to be so depressed, how can I not be excited?

  Rushing towards that airship, on the airship, over a hundred people were already waiting in formation!

  Just as Li Xie approached, the man standing at the edge of the deck shouted towards him: "What do you want? This is the Double-Blade Mercenary Corps' airship. If you're thinking of taking it by force, think twice!"

  Li Xie looked over and saw that the hundred or so people on the deck had already drawn their twin blades, with demonic creatures by their side. Each of them was warily eyeing Li Xie's group. Two of them stood out: one, who had been shouting earlier, was surrounded by a golden aura, clearly a tenth-stage Sword Saint who had released his aura externally! The other had his hand tracing patterns in the air, and beside him appeared over a dozen icy spikes as long as an arm and as thick as a wrist, making him look like a formidable magician.

  Out of a hundred people, there is one tenth-level Sword Saint. It seems that the Double-Bladed Mercenary Group isn't weak either.

  This also made Li Xie realize that the strength of mainland mercenaries was indeed extraordinary, and the entire Doudou Wang Dynasty had only one tenth-level Sword Saint, while the mercenary group he encountered on his journey had a tenth-level Sword Saint.

  Li Xie didn't come to pick a fight, but rather to make friends and get acquainted. Therefore, he didn't immediately rush down from the airship, but instead hovered outside it, shouting loudly: "Gentlemen, I'm just tired from traveling and want to borrow your esteemed place to rest for a bit, do you mind?"

  "Vice-captain, you're clever, what's your take on this?" The tenth-ranked Sword Saint asked the magician in a low voice.

  "That black-robed man is a 10th-level Sword Saint. The one who isn't wearing an upper garment, I'm afraid has a powerful magical pet, and I can't sense his magical aura fluctuations, his strength is probably above mine! He's likely a 9th or 10th-level Summoner! And that demonic beast on his head, doesn't it resemble the legendary Calamity Beast? These two are strange, but they shouldn't have malicious intentions, otherwise we'd be in trouble. Let's just let them come up, they're probably just here to rest." The magician said in a low voice.

  The tenth-level Sword Saint nodded and strode towards Li Xie, saying magnanimously: "War God is above! Two brothers, if you don't mind the humble airship of our Double-Blade Mercenary Corps, please come aboard to rest."

  "It's nothing, thank you all." Li Ye bowed his hands and descended onto the deck with Zein Nard.

  They sized up the two people who had just spoken at the first moment.

  The Ten Levels Sword Saint was a rugged-looking man nearly two meters tall, wearing leather clothes and carrying two huge swords at his waist that were almost as long as he was. From the way he spoke with such grandeur, it could be seen that this was an uninhibited person.

  Look at the magician again, a dark gray loose robe wraps around his relatively slender body, about 1.75 meters tall, and his long eyes and eagle nose seem to indicate that he is a relatively gloomy person.

  "My name is Brad Pitt, leader of the Twin Blades Mercenary Group. This is my deputy, Denilson Bond. And you two are...?"

  Li Xie sheathed his sword and changed into a brocade robe, smiling: "I am Li Xie, the lord of Chrysanthemum City in the Tudor dynasty. He is my attendant, Zayn Nadir. This time, we'd like to visit Manchester to broaden our horizons. We've flown for a long time and are tired. Once again, thank you for your generosity, Colonel Pitt."

  "Haha... alright, alright." Brad Pitt laughed: "We can also go to Manchester City, no problem. We'll just take our airship, although it's slower, but we won't have to exhaust ourselves like that. Come on, sit down and talk."

  Mercenaries sat casually on the deck, in twos and threes, each holding a wine glass, drinking and chatting. Li Xie was sitting with Brad Pitt and Daniel Craig.

  Brad Pitt looked at Li Xie's head and asked with some curiosity, "I see the demon on your head looks like the legendary creature of misfortune, is it?"

  Li Xie didn't answer directly, smiling: "Colonel Pitt generously let us rest, if I bring the ominous beast onto your airship, wouldn't that be a sin?"

  "Haha, that's nothing. We mercenaries don't believe in this stuff. We only worship the god of war. Everything is decided by strength! Don't believe in good luck or bad luck." Brad Pitt laughed loudly.

  "That's good! Although the magical beast on my head isn't a calamity beast, it looks quite similar, and I'm afraid the captain might misunderstand." Li Xie saw that there were many magical beasts on the deck, mostly high-ranking ones of six or seven levels. They were all crouching beside the mercenaries, while beside Denilson Bond was an eight-level double-headed dragon eagle and a seven-level sprite butterfly. Apparently, they were all the mercenaries' contracted magical beasts. Moreover, this mercenary group probably wasn't weak."

  The captain is a tenth-level Sword Saint, while the vice-captain is apparently an eighth-level Summoner. With such a combination and so many magical beasts, I wonder if they're in the business of trading magical beasts?

  If they were to do this business, with their strength, they might even be able to get an eighth-rank magical beast.

  Looks like I have to get close to them.

  On the other side, Brad Pitt seemed to be very interested in the meows on Li Xie's head, staring intently and said: "This demon beast has magical fluctuations inside its body, it should be a 9th-tier demon beast, and it looks just like the legendary Calamity Beast. Since it's not the Calamity Beast, I don't know what kind of demon beast it is? I've really never seen one before."

  Li Xie laughed and said: "She's just an ordinary magical beast, what nine stages, completely useless, except for drinking, she can't do anything!"

  The cat seemed very dissatisfied with Li Xie's face-to-face insult, so it lifted its front paws and slapped them heavily on Li Xie's forehead, leaving a red plum blossom mark. The cat meowed, jumped down from Li Xie's head, looked at him disdainfully, turned its small head away, and walked to Ze Enna De with its tail held high. It made a hugging gesture with its front paws, and immediately had an extra bottle of fine wine in its arms. The cat opened the bottle with its teeth and started drinking it all by itself.

  "Brad Pitt's eyes bulged out, and he shouted loudly: 'Blood Flame! It's drinking Blood Flame! Am I seeing things?! Hey, hey! Brothers, come over here! Grandma's chest! What a freaky thing! This little thing is drinking Blood Flame?!"

  Xue Yan is a type of wine named for its bright red color like blood and strong flavor like flames.

  This is one of the rare famous wines in the continent of gods, and its production is extremely small, with only about a dozen bottles per year, making it worth tens of millions of gold coins. Of course, Blood Flame is not something that can be drunk just because you have money; only the most noble people may possess this wine, even the emperors of ordinary dynasties probably only know of its existence and have never tasted it.

  Li Xie also didn't have the qualifications to own this wine, his Blood Flame was a gift from Sandor Clegane, only ten bottles in total, all of which were taken by Xiao Miao Miao. Xiao Miao Miao seemed to know that this wine was precious, so she savored it carefully, taking several days to finish one bottle. It's worth noting that normally, Xiao Miao Miao would drink tens of bottles of wine per day.
