Weapon seller in the world of magic

”Yes, proceed,” Mark confirmed it with the system despite knowing how it is extremely useful for his growth.

If he had it, during the day, he could constantly absorb the natural energy from the surroundings and refine it into ether energy. His healing rate will increase by ten times. During the night, he could intrude into the palace and trouble his enemies all he wants. As he gets stronger, the effects will also get stronger.

Judging by how it is a part of set equipment if he somehow acquires other parts, he will receive some bonus buff for sure.

And yet, he gave it to Alina because he was a little bit lazy and doesn’t want to do everything by himself. It is also one of the reasons he picked the summoner path instead of mage.

As Alina was as strong as 7-circle during the night, he was sure that no one would detect her whether she meets Feng Wu, assassinate his enemies, or even rob the treasury.

Unlike her invisible skill, which only lasts 30 seconds, the brooch can make her invisible all night, and even after engaging in battle, she would be able to deal with it accordingly without getting exposed.

Although nothing can be done about ether energy, he would be satisfied that her healing rate will improve by a lot, and even during the day, she would be able to battle strong opponents like Bai Xun.

*Ding! Sun & Moon Brooch has been bound to Alina.

”Now, only the divine sword is left. It was already bound to Allen but I will have to wait until he reaches rank-6…”

Time passed away with Mark just focused on creating the bullets.

The night arrived and the bustling streets of the Imperial city became empty. Most of the soldiers were patrolling in the inner sector where the wealthy individuals live. As for commoner districts in the outer sector, there were barely any soldiers, just two or three for the whole neighborhood.

Even then, they wouldn’t patrol continuously and mostly, sit somewhere. There’s just one place in Hanga District where more than five soldiers were stationed.

Along with the soldiers, two more spies were keeping an eye on the store.

While the job of the soldiers is to make sure that no one tries to break into the store or make a commotion outside, the spies were there to see if anyone from the store makes any suspicious movements like going out at the night.

Unfortunately for them, Mark is already prepared.

At around 1:30 A.M., Alina, who activated her invisibility skill, exited the store, and at her fastest speed, she managed to leave the neighborhood within thirty seconds.

Once her invisibility has been worn off, she turned into a shadow and slowed down her pace.

The shadow ability of the brooch might make the wearer invisible in darkness but under the effects of artificially produced light, one can spot a shadow even if the latter can’t be found by senses.

This is why Alina made sure to stay in darkness using the walls as cover until she exited the city. Once she realized that she had wasted a whole hour to get out of the radar, she once again increased her speed to the maximum.

Within half an hour, she reached the town of Dujing, located about fifty kilometers south of the Imperial city.

There, she reached an inn named Xin Xin. She intruded into the inn without making a sound and went to the first floor.

She stopped before a door that says 103. ”Okay, according to big brother, this is where my target is supposed to be resting.”

She conjured her dual-energy daggers and pierced one of them without sound before leaving it.

The Protos dagger converted into some type of corrosive energy and started eating away at the wood.

Within just ten seconds, almost the entire door was eaten up away. As it was enough for her to enter, Alina retracted her energy and entered the room.

There, she saw a stout man sleeping on a bed soundly. Luckily, she had night vision. So, she doesn’t need light to see things in the dark.

”Okay, target confirmed.” Alina nodded to herself.

Even from far away, she and Mark stay connected. So, she was able to use his inventory at any time. Alina opened her master’s inventory and took out a revolver, a letter, and a gold coin.

She quietly placed the three of them beside him and turned around to walk away. Alina returned to the store by 4 o’clock in the morning and stayed in her room to rest as if nothing had happened during the past three hours.

Meanwhile, in the town of Dujing, Huo Fen was shivering in fear as he stared at the destroyed door and then, at the items in his hand.

Because the entrance was destroyed, the chill wind from the outside hit his skin and he felt cold for a whole hour.

But, due to being in sleep, at first, he didn’t put much attention but as he rolled to the side, his belly has collided with the barrel of the revolver. The sudden sharp sensation woke up him momentarily before he saw the state of the entrance.

He couldn’t help but be afraid that someone entered the room and placed all these things without him knowing. If one can do that, then, one can also take his life in sleep too.

After hesitating for a long time, he used the help of a candle to read it as there is a shortage of electricity in towns and villages. The words were written as follows.

”Arrange a meeting with Feng Wu, exactly 3 days later, at my place. Give the revolver to him and say that Long Chun has a good talent in handing those modern weapons. However, practicing in Bloodhill forest is riskier.

Oh, by the way, Mr. Huo Fen, the merchant; make sure to pay the gold coin to the innkeeper as compensation for destroying the door.

Yours Truly

An anonymous ally”

Huo Fen stared at the letter once again and wondered, ”His Highness told me to stay here until I procure the weapons. Except for the elders and his highness, no one knows about it. Who might it be?”

Suddenly, something clicked in his mind.

”Oh, yes, there’s Lu Zhen too. He also knows about it through the letter. Maybe, is it him? But, why so secrecy? Something doesn’t add up. What if I was wrong and this turns out to be a trap?”

Huo Fen thought for a while and decided to use the Talisman to send the message to the exiled prince, first thing in the morning.

Three days passed away in a blink of an eye;

In these three days, the Emperor announced that firearms are considered the official weapons of the Phoenix Empire. And those, who want to take that path, they will be called gunmaster. However, it will remain an unorthodox path for it doesn’t involve the usage of ether energy.

About half a day after the announcement, Mark received a letter and a grant from the Imperial Palace that stated a large compound wall will be constructed around the 5-acre empty land before his store.
