Weapon seller in the world of magic

Handing over the gift, Lan Jingyi explained, ”This is called Shenlong bracelet, made out of Heavenly Jade (Mithril) material. This is an heirloom I received from my mother when I was young. My daughter isn’t interested to inherit it while my son is of fire attribute. While the wind might support him, the water will harm him. So, it is useless for him to have a bracelet that is suited for ladies.

Your Spirit Attribute is water. So, I think it will be beneficial to you. Maybe, it can also help with those nightmares you usually have since your childhood.”

Mark was taken aback upon hearing her words. He couldn’t help but inspect it right away. The details were just as his mother earlier depicted about the bracelet.

Shenlong Bracelet

Grade: Ruby (Semi-Divine)

Description: A bracelet of the Spiritual Dragon, Shenlong. Upon bonding with it, the user would be capable enough to summon wind, rains, and water. The bracelet also dispels the nightmares of the user. But, to become its master, a pure soul is needed. Those who have more sins than virtues on their heads will be able to bond with it.

Comment: Not recommended for the host.

Theoretically, the bracelet could fetch him millions of credits if he were to use the ’Devil’s Hand’ skill on it. Unfortunately, he couldn’t because it was now owned by Song Yue of all people. If Lan Jingyi hadn’t given it to Song Yue, he would have probably thought of dismantling it but now, he could only fight his greed and stay silent.

Meanwhile, Song Yue tried to refuse the gift, feeling that it was too precious. However, Lan Jingyi forced it onto her palms, telling her that she can return it after reaching 7-circle.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for Song Yue to reach such a stage. So, everyone pretty much concluded that the bracelet will be with Song Yue until she dies. As for robbing it from her, no one dared to even think about it with Mark at her side.

After Mark’s parents were done with their gifts, his siblings came forward to give their own gifts.

Unlike others’ gifts, the second prince’s gift was a little bit special. It was neither some heaven-defying item nor money. It was but a simple scroll with a list of items.

Handing the scroll, Shang Wen said, ”I’ll be more practical than others, Lu Zhen. Rather than some extravagant gift that suits my position, I would like to give something that you’ll like and probably need it.”

No one knows what is written on the scroll but a glow of genuine happiness appeared on Mark as he read it. He looked at his half-brother, ”Thank you. You can visit the store, one week later again.”

This time, even the second prince was surprised, ”really? You can arrange them within one week?”

Mark nodded in great enthusiasm.

”Alright, then.” Shang Wen nodded and returned to his parents.

Song Yue became curious upon seeing her fiancée’s expression. She asked in almost a whisper, ”What is it?”

Mark closed it and placed it in inventory, ”I’ll tell you, later.”

Then, finally, Shang Jiao appeared with her gift. She already apologized before the ceremony and was forgiven already. So, her mood was quite good as she presented the gift to her brother, ”I have no idea how many skills you know but I guess having more is always a good thing. This is a copy of the manuscript left behind by the greatest beast tamer, Xie Chen. I think it might help you.”

This was actually the first time she has even attended a formal occasion like this and it turned out to be her brother’s. As she was aware that her brother had known about his birth, she decided to be more thoughtful in picking up the gift.

Mark felt like his seven points of luck is doing their work and happily accepted it, considering he needed it now more than anything. Unlike what everyone thinks of him, he was a complete novice summoner.

Until now, it worked very well because he was able to beat those beasts using higher strength and forced them to submit to him but it will be different with a beast like Zheng that his grandfather left behind.

Once Shang Jiao also backed away, the other guests started giving him pouches with gold coins, mostly 100-500 in number. Bai Xun gave about 1000 gold coins and General Ye Yin also gave about 500 gold coins. Even if their positions are high, they are salaried soldiers unlike the nobles or the imperial family. Not to mention, they aren’t that close to Mark and this isn’t a wedding ceremony either. So, it was well within expectations.

Surprisingly, the father of the girl, Yu Ah who had a crush on Chang Bo, gave two high-quality ether crystals as a present. Those were atleast worth 1000 gold coins each. Naturally, Mark was taken aback.

Despite not buying much from the store, he knew that her father is a wealthy man based on their high-quality clothing and horses. However, only this morning, Mark learned that Yu Huang is a landlord owning over 600 acres of farmland. Even though he was nothing but of commoner status, thousands of farmers work under him for fixed wages like servants of nobles.

According to Zheng Ha, Lord Yu Huang is known to be too much of a miser. So, it came as a surprise for him to get that much gift money from this guy of all the people. But then again, it isn’t the right time to think about people’s intentions. After all, Mark invited them for his own purposes.

Once the gifting part is over, Mark cleared his throat and addressed the guests, ”Thank you for attending this event and letting us share our happiness with all of you. Before all of you leave for the dining, I would like to take this opportunity to announce something.”

Everyone including Song Yue stared curiously at Mark. He did mention it in the invitations. So, all the guests couldn’t help but wonder what it might be. Is he going to leave? Will Mark announce the wedding date? Or will it be something important like Fire seed? Is he going to use this opportunity to introduce a powerful weapon of his? It won’t be that Song Yue is going to become a mother or something, right?

Different guests have different thoughts as they stared at the weapon seller.

Mark then spoke, ”Two weeks later, on the morning of Monday, I’ll be organizing an expo… I mean a weapon exhibition at this same venue. People from other kingdoms will also be invited to this event. These weapons I’m going to introduce will be one of a kind that won’t be sold to the public.

I can’t give you details but one of those items will be powerful enough to destroy even a bunch of 7-circle experts even from several kilometers away. However, my manufacturer wishes for this to be in the hands of people with a certain responsibility, not be sold recklessly to anyone who orders it.

So, an auction will be conducted for booking the rights of buying them for a brief time period, based on the weapon. That means those weapons will not be sold to anyone else during that time. Interested buyers can visit the venue directly on the day of the expo.”
