Weapon seller in the world of magic

Several minutes later;

"I apologize for the actions of my subordinates." Feng Wu bowed slightly in embarrassment. He had fought with her and knew that he couldn't afford to make an enemy out of her unless his powerful ancestor gets outside from the closed-door cultivation.

Well, even then, he cannot avenge the deaths of his subordinates as he needs the help of her master.

"So, may I know the reason for your visit?" He asked her in a polite tone. His eyes wandered over the teenager. He wondered who it is.

It was then she threw away the boy at Feng Wu's feet, "this is Ji Guanli, the second child of Ji Clan but is selected as the heir due to his high talent. It is my master's present to you in advance to show how serious he was taking this trade between you."

"Eh? Heir to the Ji Clan?" Feng Wu was naturally surprised. Why wouldn't he be? It was only a couple of days since he finalized the deal with Mark and now, the latter already brought an important hostage to him?

"But, how did you get him?" He asked with his eyes widely opened.

Alina shrugged her shoulders and gave a cold reception to him, "it doesn't matter to you. My master told me to inform you that whatever you do with you is your wish but if his name comes out in public that he's working with you, he said that he won't hesitate to even raze the entire Kunyu mountain range to the ground just to hunt you down."

After finishing her business, she no longer stayed there and started flying back to the Southern Yuan where her master is traveling towards the final destination, the dungeon of Yannan.

With Battle Tank gone, Mark was traveling in a self-propelled howitzer. Although this one is quite bigger than the battle tank and is even able to handle a stronger opponent if one doesn't take skills into consideration, the space inside is quite cramped.

Unlike the battle tank, there is no turret here but was divided into front and rear chambers. The front chamber only contained a driver's seat. Just like with the other normal battle tanks, the driver almost has to be in a sleeping position to even drive straight.

Along with this disadvantage, the powerful 155m cannon cannot target the enemies who are standing behind.

Thankfully, the rear chamber has a bunk at the left and right top for sleeping. Apart from that, there were two more seats available in the back. One has a computer screen with him and the other can be elevated to the top of the exit where they can shoot the enemies with the 7.62mm machine gun while comfortably sitting.

Currently, Mark was driving at a slow pace of 10-15 km/hr while waiting for Alina's return.

Just a few weeks ago, he would be fear of death every time he goes outside without protection but as he grew stronger, he became more reckless with making new enemies as well as fearless of ambushes even on traveling alone.

As he was carefully searching for the whereabouts of the dungeon, he received a message from Alina about her return.

He stopped traveling and parked the vehicle outside of a village. He just stayed inside the vehicle to fill his stomach and then, take a brief nap as he knew it would take her a while to return.

The distance between the Yuan province and the Kunyu Mountains is about 600 kilometers far by the air route. With the helicopter only having an 800km range and Mark having low ether points, she would have to travel on foot while using teleportation skill every thirty seconds.

Mark originally planned to go inside alone but he decided against it after a second thought since he doesn't want to take that advancement pill every time.

As he was taking a nap in the rear chamber, a series of knocks woke him up. Unlike the battle tank, this howitzer has an entrance/exit in the rear like a jeep. With a press on the button, the metallic door was opened without any noise and Mark jumped down on the ground.

Two soldiers in a fully armored state were standing on the side. One of them knocked again.

"What do you want?" He asked.

The two of them turned around and found Mark was standing there with an annoyed expression.

One of them acted surprised, "Brother Lu, it's you…"

"Eh?" As Mark was taken aback by his sudden greeting, the guy realized what he had blurted just now. He cleared his throat, "I mean Lord Lu… Pardon my manners. I'm Lei Jin. We met at Jin province during the dungeon break."

Mark went down to his memories. He remembered the soldier, "Ah, Yes, you are the guy who told the stories about your Lt. General Hu, right?"

"You remembered me," Lei Jin let out a sigh of relief. He then said, "I didn't know that this belongs to you. We just heard the villagers panicked about a mysterious thing on the outskirts."

Since he had to wait for a while, and there's a familiar person before him, Mark decided to chat for a bit, "Are you stationed here?"

Mark knew that the southern empire was in the protection of the second prince's army.

"No, actually, a dungeon break is about to occur about twenty kilometers away from here. We came here to evacuate the people, just in case." Lei Jin informed, giving a surprise.

"A dungeon break?" Mark furrowed his brows. "Is it the dungeon of Yannan?"

"Yannan? Isn't it already cleared a while ago?" The other soldiers asked in doubt, to which Lei Jin nodded, "yes, this was a different one, appeared about three days ago. To be honest, I don't think it is as serious as the last time. The portal size is too small but since it affected the land for 9 kilometers in radius, I suspect it is a rank-5 dungeon."

"I see…" Mark nodded in understanding. Now that there's no dungeon to clear, he decided to return.

"Okay, then, it's time for me to start going." When he was about to part his way, Lei Jin stopped him. "Wait. General Wen is currently staying at the camp. It is not far away from here. He would be happy to receive you as a guest."
