Chapter 538 - Are You Talking About Yourself?
The mercenaries in the carriage were also sizing up Mag and Amy, wondering why their leader had suddenly stopped. This father and daughter duo didn’t look like they were prepared to hunt at all, and they were even traveling to the Illusionary Mist Valley on foot. What a joke!
“Hello, beautiful Big Sister Huntress.” Amy extended a polite greeting toward Sivir. Her eyes were glowing at the sight of such a beautiful big sister.
“That’s right. We took on a mission to capture Ironhide Bulls.” Sivir nodded before turning to Amy, and said, “Hello, little girl.”
Sivir’s eyes were also glowing as she looked at Amy. What an adorable little girl! The reason why she had stopped the carriage was actually because the little girl sitting on Mag’s shoulders had triggered the recollection of a series of warm images in her heart.
“What a coincidence; we’re also going after Ironhide Bulls.” Mag was a little surprised by the huntress’ straightforward honesty.
“Ironhide Bulls?” The expressions on the faces of the mercenaries on the carriage immediately became quite peculiar. This human didn’t have a longsword, nor was he wearing any magician robes, so he didn’t appear to be a knight or a magic caster.
A guy like him was going to hunt for Ironhide Bulls with a little half-elf girl?
One had to realize that someone had paid a very high price for them to hunt down an Ironhide Bull. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even be taking the risk.
“Ignorant fool.” The young elf in white magician robes sitting alone in the corner of the carriage took a disdainful glance at Mag before turning to Sivir with a lovestruck expression.
Sivir’s gaze fell on Mag, and her eyes narrowed slightly
Mag also looked back at Sivir with a calm expression.
“It’ll take you at least half a day to get to the Illusionary Mist Valley on foot. If you don’t mind, you can come with us on our carriage, and we can take you to the Illusionary Mist Valley,” Sivir offered. It had been a long time since she had seen someone with a pair of such pure and clear eyes. Her father had once told her that people with eyes like his couldn’t be bad people, as one’s eyes were a window that allowed others to peer into their hearts.
The Illusionary Mist Valley was a dangerous place, but it was their choice to go there, and he seemed quite determined. As such, she decided to respect his decision.
“Are we talking them with us?” The other mercenaries all turned to Sivir with surprised expressions upon hearing that. Their mercenary team never worked with any other mercenaries, particularly when they had the same target.
“Sivir, I don’t think that’s a good idea. Ironhide Bulls are very dangerous targets, and this is quite a risky mission even for our Rose Mercenary Squad. If we have to protect these two during the battle, it’ll make our chances for success dwindle even further.” The elf stood up and offered his objection. He then turned to Mag, and said coldly, “Furthermore, some people need to develop some self-awareness. They need to know what they can do and what they can’t.”
The other members of the mercenary squad also nodded upon hearing that. Even though Evan’s words were rather scathing, they weren’t entirely unreasonable. Mercenary missions always carried an element of risk, and the chances of failure would inevitably increase if they had to protect these two. Furthermore, in the worst-case scenario, these two could drag down their whole squad, resulting in widespread casualties.
“We can protect ourselves! My father is super strong!” Amy looked at Evan with a grumpy expression. He was an elf as well, but for some reason, she felt a lot more comfortable in the company of Big Sister Aisha and Big Brother Blour.
“Evan, don’t judge people whom you know nothing about.” A hint of displeasure flashed through Sivir’s eyes.
As the only offensive magic caster in their squad as well as an ice-type magic caster who was close to becoming an intermediate magic caster, Evan’s combat prowess was second only to her own in their mercenary squad. Ever since his inclusion into their squad three months ago, he had played a major role in many of their missions, and allowed their squad to pick missions with greater rewards.
However, Sivir knew why Evan chose their Rose Mercenary Squad as opposed to joining a more powerful mercenary squad. He had expressed his love for her on many occasions, but she rejected him every time. He wasn’t a good man with a kind heart. In Sivir’s eyes, it wasn’t important whether her future spouse was powerful or not, but he had to be a kind-hearted person.
“Sivir, they...” Evan’s brows furrowed upon hearing that. He didn’t think that Sivir would speak to him in that manner just for the sake of a couple of strangers.
“It would be great if you could take us there.” Mag looked at Sivir with a smile and cut off Evan’s objections.
Ignoring the distance to the Illusionary Mist Valley had indeed been an oversight on his part. Not only would it be very tiring for them to walk half a day to reach the valley, it would also be very difficult for them to transport the Ironhide Bull back after slaying it. Even if they were to return empty-handed, they would still only make it back into Chaos City late into the night, and the wilderness at night time was a drastically more dangerous place than it was during the day.
As such, the alternative offered to them by Sivir was clearly the best option. This mercenary squad clearly wasn’t very powerful. For them to regard the Ironhide Bull as a risky target indicated that they were predominantly below the 4th-tier in power. However, they were still powerful enough to take care of themselves as long as they didn’t venture too deep into the wilderness. As for the elf who seemed to be displaying enmity toward him for no reason, Mag paid him no heed. In his past life, he had seen countless men whose IQ had been reduced to zero in the face of the woman they pursued. He had countless different ways to take care of a lovestruck fool like him.
“Come on, then. Seeing as we have the same target, we’ll split up once we get to the Illusionary Mist Valley.” Sivir had developed a positive first impression of Mag, but she had to consider the feelings of her squad members. As the squad leader, she knew what she should and shouldn’t do.
“Thank you.” Mag smiled as he helped Amy onto the carriage before climbing onto it himself. He sat in a corner with Amy in his arms, while she held Ugly Duckling in her arms.
“Let’s keep going.” Sivir turned and issued an instruction to the thin mercenary driving the carriage. Thus, they continued onward.
“I didn’t think there could be such a shameless person in this world,” Evan grumbled as he glowered at Mag.
“Are you talking about yourself?” Amy asked curiously.
