Chapter 451: Chapter 300 Dragon Army Mission

...

Xu Biao smiled at his work efficiency and, without further delay, led Yan Xiaobao and the others to a room that seemed to have been closed off.

"Li Shao is my second-in-command at the Mercenary Association," Xu Biao said along the way, "Since we have an entire city filled with mercenaries, the Guild Leader of the Demon Residence Cave’s Mercenary Guild maintains a main office in Mercenary City. Sometimes I need to go to the Capital for business because mercenaries can also be found there, even in the Capital. So, the Vice President must handle things here."

There was no need for explanation, as everyone had already guessed what was happening. Even so, they appreciated Xu Biao’s openness about everything. For the journey they were about to embark on, all six of them needed to trust one another.

"I suggest we stay here for a few days," Yan Xiaobao said as he admired the intricate carvings and the beautiful surroundings of the Mercenary Guild. "I have an idea," he added, immediately piquing everyone’s curiosity.

"Currently, we’re on a mission. If someone checks our badges, they’ll see that we’re carrying out a task for the Dragon Army, and the mission involves delivering information."

"My suggestion is that we see if we can take on another task in the Capital, like escorting someone to the next caves or transporting some goods."

"If we have such a task, anyone seeing our badges won’t reveal anything about the mission for the Dragon Army, as only the most recent task will be displayed."

"Traveling with others also limits the chances of someone attacking us. From every perspective, I think an escort mission would be ideal. But until we find such a task, let’s take a few days to relax and rejuvenate."

Hearing Yan Xiaobao’s suggestion, everyone slowly nodded. They remembered seeing the bulletin board earlier, which had plenty of escort missions posted. At the time, they hadn’t wanted to travel with others, confident that they could move independently.

Now, the circumstances had changed. An escort mission was precisely what they needed. After giving it some thought, smiles began to spread across everyone’s faces.

"While you’re in the Capital, you should take some time to shop," Xu Biao continued. "The Capital has every type of delicacy you can imagine. We get items from other caves. Whether it’s food, rare materials, or even medicinal herbs, as long as you have enough coins or cores, you can buy anything."

Hearing this, grins became increasingly apparent on the faces of the young people, but what they truly longed for was much more than shopping. After spending so much time on the road and even longer trapped in illusions, without warm water to bathe, they yearned to wash off the travel grime and relieve their strained muscles, which had been on high alert ever since Zhou Long’s second attack.

Seeing their expressions, Xu Biao could instantly guess what they were thinking. Laughter escaped his lips, spreading through the conference room where they were gathered. Just as Yan Xiaobao was about to retort, a knock came at the door, and Li Shao stepped into the room with his imposing frame, bowing humbly to Xu Biao, who was seated.

"The rooms are ready," he said in a gentle voice. "Allow me to escort the Guild Master and his esteemed friends to their quarters. Warm baths have been prepared for everyone."

The mention of warm baths was all it took to elicit a collective sigh of longing. Everyone rose to their feet quickly, not willing to wait a moment longer than necessary. Even Xu Biao, despite his usual composure, felt his weary body lighten at the thought. They all moved with haste, as if they were floating along the path led by Li Shao.

The giant was astonished by just how eager everyone was for a warm bath. Though he knew they had come from Mercenary City and that their journey had taken a week, it hadn’t seemed so strenuous as to leave the Guild Master and his companions utterly exhausted.

Of course, Li Shao was unaware of the challenges they had faced on the road. Instead, he assumed they had merely completed their mission. The gentle giant admired Xu Pi’ao deeply and couldn’t fathom that his Guild Master would be worn out by something as trivial as a simple trip to the Capital.

Li Shao led the group once more through the hallways. Leaving the large house, they crossed a path to another nearby building. This structure was significantly larger than the one they had just exited. He entered the staircase, climbing up with Yan Xiaobao’s group trailing behind him.

"These rooms are reserved exclusively for Gold-level mercenaries," Li Shao said in a serious tone, pointing to the ten doors ahead, each leading to individual rooms. "Choose whichever room you like. Each one is equipped with a private bath, and a heated soak awaits you."

Upon hearing this, everyone showered Li Shao with gratitude before dashing toward the rooms. None of them cared which door they took, for all that mattered was the allure of a warm bath. Bursting into their respective rooms, they quickly stripped off their clothes and sank into the steaming water, their muscles practically singing in relief.

Bathing took a long time; no one was willing to part with the soothing waters. But after an hour, Yan Xiaobao was the first to leave his bath. Now dressed in some of his finest clothes, he stood by the window of his room, observing the bustling streets below. A smile spread across his face as he stepped quietly out of his room, heading toward the lively streets outside.
