Weapon seller in the world of magic
chapter-149

If the appearance of the mini sun improved the morale of the soldiers, the defeat of the headless knight vastly boosted their morale.

Everyone suddenly became energized. Wang Li became aggressive in her attacks and started going all out against the Lich King. A couple of captains joined her after taking out the remaining skeleton knight.

Now, there are only five wraiths, which are being debuffed by the mini sun and lose their strength by atleast a realm. The morale of the captains was at its highest as the second prince was flying towards the woods where the masterminds were hiding.

Meanwhile, the necromancers were in a tight spot.

"What should we do now, Lord He?" One of the hoods asked the leader.

The peak-stage six-circle realm expert clenched his fist in anger as he stared at the helicopter in the sky, "Damn that Lu Zhen. He is far stronger than we expected. And we also received misinformation about Shang Wen's strength. He appeared to be in a seven-circle realm."

"We are leaving." He made a decision and raised the staff.

Just as he was about to create a portal, a necromancer screamed out, "Lord He, incoming attack. Dodge…"

"Eh?" He raised his head only to see a missile coming towards them. "Defend yourselves."

A few of them jumped away to evade the attack and the remaining pushed out ether energy from their bodies to form a barrier around them and block the attack.

Within just a couple of seconds, the hellfire missile already reached them.

*boom*

Upon contact with a barrier, the warhead detonated, causing an enormous explosion.

All the hundred meters around them were dust into dust. Nothing remained; neither the trees nor the corpses.

The 4-circle elite soldiers around the perimeter were blasted away. None of them were dead but suffered heavy injuries.

The skeletons, wraiths, and the Lich King disappeared. Everyone started shaking in fear once again because of the powerful explosion nearby.

The second prince halted his movements and raised his head to look at the helicopter once again. A trace of surprise appeared on his face, "He was feigning earlier?"

Looking through the screen, Mark grabbed the communication device and changed the setting from the speaker to the mic. "Thanks, Alina. Good job in spotting their location."

"I'm glad to be of some help, Big Brother," Alina replied while letting out a smile.

The helicopter slowly started to descend onto the ground amid everyone's gazes. He stepped down along with Alina and started to walk.

The one who was the most shocked is Lei Jin, who never expected the harmless-looking Lu Zhen is far more powerful than their general, at least his weapons are.

The night passed away within a couple of hours;

As the dawn arrived, the soldiers just treated like everyday crises and started their day with morning exercise.

Thankfully, due to Mark's intervention, there were a few casualties and the battle didn't last for long. So, everyone felt it like some nightmare.

As the Spirit Warriors were naturally strong-willed people, they managed to protect their mental state. Their lives didn't change from this incident, anyway.

On the other hand, Lei Jin's life changed all of a sudden. When the fellow soldiers heard that he was the one that brought Mark to the camp, they treated him a lot better. Even the captains greeted him early in the morning with smiles. Of course, this landed him in an awkward situation for he doesn't know how to react.

At around 8:30 in the morning, Lei Jin was standing before the tent where Mark was staying.

His heart was beating rapidly due to nervousness. "I can't believe I addressed such a mighty figure as Brother. What if he was offended, back then?"

After watching how Mark singlehandedly destroyed the enemies, he was too scared to meet him. But then, Captain Wang Li, under the orders of the second prince, instructed him to take care of Mark as long as he stays at the campsite.

He cannot deny her orders and was afraid to go alone.

In the end, he took a deep breath and entered the tent.

He found Mark appeared to be in a meditative state and Alina just sat nearby him. She sharply stared at the intruder.

"Pardon for the intrusion." Lei Jin gulped a bit and politely said to her, "The General ordered me to check on Lord Lu."

"Tell General Wen that my master will meet him during lunchtime," Alina replied to him.

Lei Jin bowed and left the tent.

After leaving the tent, he let out a sigh of relief. "For now, I escaped."

He went to the General's tent and reported the same to the second prince.

"Okay, you may go." Shang Wen nodded.

Once he left, the prince mumbled, "Once he wakes up, I need to talk about those new firearms. Before the world gets used to these firearms, I need to make sure the Imperial army of the south stays on the front line. I should hurry up with the training and get approval from the Emperor.

Putting it aside, I really wonder about the background of those necromancers. Not only they can summon the headless warrior, one of them can even summon a powerful lich with armor. It was probably a set. Not everyone can afford such high-grade equipment.

Should I write a letter to the Emperor for a formal investigation?" He fell into thoughts.

Genesis Store, Imperial City;

With the palace ordering the Song Clan to speed up the process, the surroundings of the store looked clean without any ruins of the buildings.

The store started receiving customers one day ago, although the majority of them appeared to be spies or tourists. All of them would just roam inside the store and be amazed by the interior.

In the end, most would purchase a single-shot pistol and a few bullets. In the midst of them, a rich customer bought a P-226 and 100 bullets, spending 70 gold coins.

At present, Allen was packing a P-365 and fifty bullets in a metal box. The metal box had the words Genesis word written in calligraphy and two pistols in x-shape painted on it. This one was provided by the system for free after he purchased this expansion.

However, the design was something that is decided by the system. Mark couldn't do anything about it. So, the previous design of the eye, which used to be carved on the wooden boxes, was scrapped away.

He handed the box to an old man after receiving 40 gold coins. "Thank you for the purchase, please come again."

The old man took it as he mumbled, "I hope my grandson would like it."

When he heard that, Allen gave a warning, "The guns are inadvisable for the kids below 14 to use if they aren't Spirit Warriors. Please proceed with caution when you let them handle it."

The old man nodded, "thank you, I will."

As the customer left the store, Allen took back the seat and looked at the wall clock, "8:40. Twenty minutes left."

After Mark and Alina left the imperial city, Allen would open the store from 6:45 to 8:45 as a part of opening hours and then, close the store until 12:30 in the afternoon.

Just like every day, he was waiting for the closing time. Just about two minutes away from the time, a horse carriage stopped before the store and a person wearing a cloak and hood entered the store.

Allen spotted her and quickly stood up on his feet, "Welcome to Genesis. May I know what you are looking for?"

The person didn't answer right away.

After a brief silence, the person spoke in a high-pitched tone, in a female voice, "Is Lu Zhen, here?"

"No, he isn't," Allen replied right away.

"Do you know where he went?" The lady asked him.

It isn't the first time he heard people asking about his master. Allen didn't think too much about it and answered the same thing he answered to others, "No, he only told me that he will be out of the city for a few days. I'm not sure when he will return either."

However, he didn't expect the lady would drop an unexpected question. "I heard that you grew with Lu Zhen. Do you know the names of his parents?"

"Eh?" Allen stared at her.
