Chapter 257 - 259: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land
Ka City is located in the south, and even the pastries are different from those in Chu City. The tea is butter tea, and the pastries are various milk cakes.
"I thought that a place like Ka City must have a cheap method of making candles. Now it seems, the candles sold here in the market are half the price of those in Chu City. But they’re still made of beeswax, which isn’t very useful."
Feng Bailing spoke just as the waiter brought over the tea.
He saw several candles on Feng Bailing’s table and thought she was a merchant selling candles, and casually mentioned,
"Guest, are you looking for cheap candles? You won’t find them on the market, you have to buy from the Mercenary Corps people to get a good deal."
Upon hearing this, Feng Bailing gave the waiter a little small silver change.
"Waiter, clarify for me, what’s this about the Mercenary Corps? And what’s the deal with cheap candles?"
"Guest, is this your first time in Ka City? You don’t even know about the Mercenary Corps; they are the ones who take people’s money to rid them of their troubles. Our teahouse often has members from the Mercenary Corps coming in for tea. Especially recently, for some reason, there’s always warfare among the nations, and the activities of the Mercenary Corps have become even more frequent. They have methods to obtain cheap candles."
After the waiter finished speaking, the shopkeeper called him over to make tea, and with a nod and a bow, he walked away.
"Mercenary Corps? I’ve also heard about them, those mercenaries who lick blood on their knife’s edge."
Ouyang Chenchen noticed Feng Bailing’s interest and recalled.
The Mercenary Corps, as the name suggests, are paid helpers.
