Chapter 2499 Mercenaries and Wine
"Are you crazy? I don't remember that I said I would treat everyone in the pub to a drink."
After finally escaping from the mercenary siege, Kaidan pulled the red-haired mercenary aside and glared at her.
"Really? Don't you want to be a hero? Are you a coward and a coward?" The red-haired mercenary didn't care. She raised the wooden cup, filled it with fine malt beer, and took a big sip.
"This is not a heroic move. What heroes have you seen? Elago is a hero. Somra, the giant god monster incarnated by lightning, he is also a hero. Even if I don't want to admit it, that Rhodes who started the war, he He is also a hero. What we are doing is just showing off at best. No, maybe it’s not even showing off, and it’s not me who is showing off, it’s you.”
Not to be outdone, Kaidan shot back that he would not be manipulated by others: "Where's my wine?"
The red-haired mercenary turned sideways and looked at the bartender not far away: "Kaidan said he wanted a special drink."
"As you wish." Soon, the bartender respectfully served a glass of orange and yellow special wine.
"...What is this?" Kaidan couldn't help asking as he looked at the viscous liquid with bubbles floating in the glass but no foam accumulated in it. The bartender on the side looked at him with a smile.
"Drink quickly." Seeing Kaidan's delay, the red-haired mercenary couldn't help but urge,
It wasn't until Kaidan tried to drink the contents of the glass that the bartender said: "This is the distilled wine studied by the mages. According to your request, lemon juice, soda water, and sugar are added for flavoring, and also Raw eggs ensure great taste and are guaranteed to satisfy you…”
Listening to the bartender's introduction, Kaidan finally knew what kind of wine he drank. In this way, the orange and yellow thing in the glass at the beginning was a raw egg. The sticky taste enveloped Kaidan's mouth, but he didn't feel it was harsh. After drinking a cup, Kaidan felt a warmth in his stomach, and infinite power was emerging from his body.
Kaidan smacked his lips, the sticky egg liquid clinging to his teeth. He had just swallowed the entire egg heart wrapped in wine. In a daze, he suddenly thought of Longtar, Longtar's molten eyes, Is it as thick as egg liquid?
Kaidan vomited it out, and the bartender on the side looked at him slightly embarrassed, while the red-haired mercenary looked at the show with a look in his eyes: "Oh, this is an uncommon sight."
"Before I smash up the tavern, you'd better give me a glass of fruit wine." Kaidan wiped his mouth and said. The bartender didn't dare to stay longer and quickly prepared the fruit wine Kaidan asked for.
"It seems that you are neither a coward nor a coward, just a simple coward." The red-haired mercenary said without mercy.
"Whatever you say." Kaidan shrugged, "Don't worry, I will pay for my own drinks, including yours at most. As for the others, it's up to you to figure out a way."
"Uh-huh." The red-haired mercenary snorted.
Kaidan's fruit wine was delivered to him. He took a sip and finally put the unpleasant experience behind him: "Seriously, how much money do you have left from the last mission? If you can't come up with the money, you will probably Confined to prison in Bracada.”
"What are you afraid of? Even if I am imprisoned, Elago will get me out. He has this ability." The red-haired mercenary said nonchalantly.
"Elago? Why does he do this?" Kaidan asked with some confusion.
"Don't you know? That's right, you left directly after the mission." She put down the wine glass and stared at Kaidan, "Elago is forming his personal guard. Most of the people who survived the last mission The mercenaries have all joined.”
Kaidan heard what she meant and drank all the fruit wine in the glass in one gulp: "So, this is why you wanted to drink with me?"
The red-haired mercenary did not deny it: "I am now his team leader, which is what I should do. You are an S-class mercenary, and there are not many in the entire Freelance Chamber of Commerce. We are all looking forward to your joining."
"So you want me to treat them to a drink?" Kaidan said, stroking his forehead.
The red-haired mercenary winked to the side, and two mercenaries who participated in the battle of Cirrus City with Kaidan came over with smiles on their faces and brought him full wine glasses.
"Your Excellency Kaidan, your performance in battle deeply shocked us, and we respect you for this."
Listening to the compliments of the mercenaries, Kaidan thanked him and drank all his wine. After the mercenaries left, Kaidan said: "This is not our war. Do you really think the Brakada people can win?"
"Of course, as you saw in Cirrus City, those undead creatures are nothing more than that." The red-haired mercenary said disapprovingly.
Kaidan took a deep breath: "That's not their full strength at all. Those terrifying undead generals seem to have disappeared. I don't know what happened to them, but they won't be so lucky next time. Maybe you People will laugh at me for being timid, but I once faced Rhodes. His undead general only cast a single spell to take away the lives of a city of creatures, and he himself only needed one look to kill people. He He is the master of the undead who was born specifically for killing. By the time he finds you, it will be too late for you to feel regretful and regretful."
The red-haired mercenary remained silent. After drinking another drink, he resumed his usual joking tone: "If this is the case, then why are you still alive?"
"That's all I can say." After Kaidan finished drinking the wine, he left three gold coins on the table and stood up to leave.
"Where do you plan to go next? Hometown?" The red-haired mercenary stopped him and asked calmly.
"I am not Elago. I am wandering around and have no hometown." Kaidan glanced at her.
The red-haired mercenary asked: "There is always a place to go."
Kaidan was a little helpless, but couldn't resist her questioning, so he could only say: "Erasia."
"Erasia is not a good choice. It is being invaded by demons and is not much better than the Snowy Land. Haven't you heard that the end is coming?"
Listening to the red-haired mercenary's pretense of threats, Kaidan shook his head: "That's just a prophecy... just listen to it as a legend."
"What if that's not a legend? If one day, all of Erathia is destroyed, what will you do?" the red-haired mercenary asked.
Kaidan frowned, but replied: "If I can still survive, maybe I will escape to Eri."
The red-haired mercenary sighed: "Don't you understand? In fact, you don't have to go anywhere. We are mercenaries, and the noisy tavern and the tents around the campfire are our hometown... If you want me to go there one day If I die, I hope I can at least get drunk and hit the road.”
Kaidan stopped in his tracks: "Aren't you a Krulod? I saw that you inspired the blood of barbarians."
"So you think it's a Krulod who is helping to enslave their mage and fight against their hero Tanan?" The red-haired mercenary snorted disdainfully, "If I could choose a bloodline, I would rather choose the dragon one. Bloodline.”
"Really?" Kaidan sat down. Just as the red-haired mercenary said, he didn't have to leave in a hurry, or there was nowhere to go. Under the apocalypse, other places wouldn't be much better. He looked around, and everyone he saw raised their wine glasses to signal to him, and finally sighed, "Why not choose the bloodline of demons? They are more powerful than dragons."
"Nonsense, the dragon is obviously the most powerful."
"The devil is powerful..."
