"You're also going to the Illusionary Mist Valley?" Meg was also quite surprised to see this huntress with such a voluptuous figure. Her healthy, wheat-colored skin couldn't hide her gorgeous features, and she gave off a sense of explosive power. Judging from her tone, it seemed that their target was most likely the Ironhide Bulls as well.
All of the mercenaries on the horse-drawn carriage were also appraising Mag and his daughter. They didn't know why their captain had suddenly stopped. Furthermore, this pair of father and daughter didn't appear to be out hunting for prey at all. Why would they run into the Illusionary Mist Valley on foot? What kind of nonsense was that?
"Hello, beautiful Big Sister Huntress." Amy greeted Chiwil in a polite manner, and her eyes lit up at the sight of Chiwil. What a beautiful big sister!
"That's right, we've accepted a mission to capture an Ironhide Bull." Chiwil nodded before turning to Amy, and said, "Hello, little girl."
Chiwil's eyes also lit up at the sight of Amy. What an adorable little girl! She had actually stopped the horse-drawn carriage precisely because of this little girl sitting on Meg's back. This made her recall some heartwarming memories.
"What a coincidence, our target is also the Ironhide Bull," Meg said as he looked at Chiwil. This little girl was quite straightforward, and she wasn't trying to hide anything at all.
"Ironhide Bull?" Peculiar expressions immediately appeared on the faces of the mercenaries on the carriage as they appraised Meg from head to toe. This was an ordinary-looking human. He didn't have a longsword strapped to his waist, nor did he look like a knight. He wasn't wearing a magician's robe, nor was he holding a wand.
Yet, this guy was saying that he was going to hunt for an Ironhide Bull with a little half-elf girl on his back?
One had to realize that their mission was to capture an Ironhide Bull, yet a customer had come to them and offered them a higher price than usual. This was why they were willing to take the risk.
"Ignorant." A young elf wearing a white mage robe sitting alone in a corner glanced at Meg and pursed his lips. He then turned his gaze to Chiwil with undisguised adoration in his eyes.
Chiwil's gaze shifted to Meg. He narrowed his eyes and looked into his eyes.
Meg also looked into Chiwil's eyes with a calm expression. They were here to find the Ironhide Bulls anyway, so there was no need for them to feel guilty at all.
"If you walk to the Miwu Valley, it will take at least half a day. If you don't feel crowded, you can get in the car. We will take you to the Miwu Valley on the way." Chiwil looked at Meg and said. It had been a long time since he had seen someone with such clear eyes. His father had once said that a person with such clear eyes was not a bad person, because that was the window to a person's soul.
Although Miwu Valley was dangerous, this was his choice. Moreover, from his gaze, it was clear that he had no intention of changing his mind, so she respected his choice.
"Are we taking them with us?" Everyone else turned to Chiwil with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Their mercenary group had never gone on missions with other mercenaries, especially when they had the same goal.
"Chiwil, I don't think that's a good idea. The Ironhide Bulls are very dangerous targets, and even our Rose Mercenary Squad doesn't have absolute confidence in being able to capture them. If we take two burdens with us, we'll have to divert some of our attention to protect them during battle. That's not a good idea for us." The elf stood up and looked at Chiwil. He then turned to Meg and said in a cold voice, "Also, if some people have any self-awareness, they should know what they can and can't do."
The other mercenaries also nodded upon hearing this. Evan's words weren't very pleasant to hear, but they weren't completely unreasonable. Mercenaries lived their lives on the line every day, and every mission was chosen based on the strength of the mercenary group. If they had to divert their attention to protect two people who couldn't protect themselves, then the mission could fail. In fact, some of the members might even have to pay a heavy price.
"We're not burdens! Amy's father is super powerful!" Amy turned to Evan with an indignant expression. Even though they were all elves, for some reason, Big Sister Aisha and Big Brother Blour looked a lot more comfortable than this guy.
"Evan, don't judge someone you don't know." A hint of displeasure flashed through Chiwil's eyes as he turned to Evan.
As the only battle magic caster in the mercenary group, and an ice magic caster who was close to becoming an intermediate magic caster, Evan's combat prowess was second only to hers. Furthermore, ever since he joined the mercenary group three months ago, the mercenary group had indeed become a lot more powerful. He had played a vital role in many of their missions, and the mercenary group had also been able to choose missions with higher rewards.
However, Chiwil knew why Evan had chosen their Rose Mercenary Squad instead of a more powerful mercenary group. He had expressed his love for her on many occasions, only to be rejected by her. He wasn't a very magnanimous person, and regardless of whether her husband was powerful or not, he was at least a kind and magnanimous person.
"Chiwil, they …" Evan's brows furrowed. He didn't think that Chiwil would speak to him like this for a guy he had only just met.
Meg looked at Chiwil with a smile as he cut off Evan, and said, "If you can hitch a ride with me, then I'd be happy to oblige."
If it took half a day to get to the Illusionary Mist Valley, it would be quite a difficult journey, and even if he found the Ironhide Bull, it would be quite troublesome to get it back. Even if he returned empty-handed, he would have to wait until midnight before he could get back to Chaos City. The wilderness at night was much more dangerous than it already was.
It was clearly a good idea to hitch a ride with them. This small mercenary group clearly wasn't very powerful, and the fact that the Ironhide Bull was their target indicated that the average power level of these mercenaries was below the 4th-tier. However, they should be able to protect themselves in the wilderness. As for that elf who had developed an inexplicable sense of hostility toward him, he didn't pay him any heed. He had seen many people who had lost their minds over women in his past life, and he had a thousand different ways to deal with them.
"Let's get on the carriage. Seeing as we have the same target, we'll split up after we reach the Illusionary Mist Valley." Chiwil nodded as he looked at Meg. Meg's straightforward attitude made him seem like a true mercenary. However, she also had to consider the feelings of her mercenary group members. As the group leader, she knew what she should do and what she shouldn't do.
"Thank you." Meg smiled as he carried Amy onto the horse-drawn carriage. He then climbed onto the horse-drawn carriage himself, and sat down in a corner with Amy on his lap. Meanwhile, Ugly Duckling was in Amy's arms.
"Let's continue." Chiwil turned around and spoke to the thin mercenary who was driving the horse-drawn carriage. The horse-drawn carriage continued along the bumpy path.
Evan, who was sitting in the opposite corner of the carriage, looked at Meg with a peculiar expression, and said, "I didn't think there would be someone as shameless as you in this world."
