WEAPON SELLER IN THE WORLD OF MAGIC

<strong>The same day evening;</strong>

<strong>Dasong County, Southern Yuan Province;</strong>

In a county, located in the southernmost part of the empire, nearby the ocean, there stood a handsome manor house surrounded by elaborated gardens, including a fountain. The grey painting over the mansion and the darkness in the surroundings gave off an eerie feeling.

A person in soldier attire was seen passing through the gate and reaching the entrance of the mansion. For this large mansion, only two guards were placed outside the gate. And both of them were just standing straight without any expression.

The door opened inwardly on its own without anyone visibly opening it. He entered calmly but his pace was quite fast. If not for the fact that the running is against the etiquette, he would have already done that so.

The entrance hall was large, dimly lit, and lavishly decorated. A large carpet was covering the whole concrete floor. At the end of the hall, a staircase splits into left and right while leading to the first floor.

It was quite empty, one should say with the minimum number of servants and almost no visitations from any elders. The servants also had the same expression as if they were puppets. Nevertheless, the place is spotless. It is well maintained.

He took the left path. On the way, he glanced around at the portraits placed along the wall as he climbed up. In an instant, his body is stiffened when he found their eyes moving.

"Fuu… it's not your first time here, Ye Hai. Be cool…"

Taking a deep breath, he looked down at the steps and just climbed the stairs in silence.

He reached the first floor and walked towards a closed room, followed by knocking on the door twice.

Just like with the entrance door, it opened on its own, revealing a young man in his twenties. His messy hair was brown and quite long. It was almost touching the floor while he was in a sitting position.

It was a dim-lit room with minimum furniture. There was a simple cot and a thin mattress on top of it. There was a wooden desk and chair. There was a wooden wardrobe in the corner of the room. Compared to how lavish the mansion is, it was indeed surprising.

Other than that, there's a portrait on the wall where a boy was seen with a beautiful young woman.

The young man was busy writing something. He was so engrossed in it that he didn't even sense the presence of an outsider.

"Master Yuan?" The soldier called out the young man after waiting for a few seconds.

It was only then the young man finally turned his head. One of his eyes is covered with a patch; the other eye is bloodshot, looking like he didn't sleep for a while. There is an x shaped scar on his right cheek.

"Ye Hai?" The young man appeared to be acquainted with this soldier. He asked, "What is it?"

"The Prison of Baltrow was cleared." The soldier informed him.

"What!" The young man suddenly raised his voice, only to turn it into hoarse, and coughed out a bit. He then asked, "Say it again? Did you say that someone killed that beast?"

Ye Hai nodded, "A while ago, our soldiers stationed at the Baltrow Tower spotted something like a puppet that has wheels going into the portal. The portal turned white in color and after that, it was the same puppet exited from it.

A moment later, a flying puppet exited from the portal.

Based on the descriptions given by our watchers, only one person was known to possess something similar to those two items. His name is Lu Zhen, the Cerberus Slayer. However, we have yet to confirm it. All we have is speculations.

But, it was confirmed that the dungeon is empty and will soon be destroyed in three days, following the world laws."

A few drops of tears suddenly escaped the young man's eyes as he turned his head towards the portrait on the wall. A whisper escaped from him, "mother…"

The young man stood upon his feet with a hardened expression, "Ye Hai, I'm going there to inspect the traces of the battle. In the meantime, send a letter to that uncle of mine that I'm returning to take back what's mine."

? "Eh? You are returning? What about this place?" The soldier asked in surprise. "You said that when it's time for your return, this place has to be demolished. Do we really have to..."

The young man removed the patch and revealed a glowing scarlet pupil, "I told that it will disappear, not demolished."

It wasn't the first time the soldier had seen the glowing eye. So, he wasn't visibly surprised and only wondered why he had chosen to reveal it.

However, in the next second, he shivered with a chill running down his spine when he found the surroundings instantly changed. Both of them are standing in the middle of a graveyard.

He looked around. There were no gardens, fountains, the mansion couldn't be visible. But the entrance gate, the compound wall, the rocky hill on the left, and the lake on the right was the same. There were no guards outside the gate.

"Did we teleport?" He wondered out loud but there was no response from the young master he was serving. The latter was silent as he stared at a particular grave in silence.

After a whole minute of silence, the young man opened his mouth slowly, "You said that the person who cleared the dungeon is named Lu Zhen?"

"Ah, Yes, Master Yuan." The soldier's voice shook in a bit of fear as he answered. If he can be teleported without being able to resist, then, he can be killed too.

"What do you know about him?" The young man asked.

The soldier answered truthfully, "According to our sources, he runs a weapon store named Genesis at the Imperial City. He's also the sole weapon seller of firearms. They are a new type of weapons that civilians would be able to wield to defeat elementary Spirit Warriors.

As for his combat ability, he is a summoner with a peak-7-circle realm. Some speculate that his cultivation realm is even higher.

Aside from that, there's a flying puppet with him that he used to defeat the Grand Elder of the Sui Clan. He also had a peerless beauty as a servant. She was known to be strong enough to go head to head with Supreme Commander Bai and is beautiful enough to make any male fall for her."

The young man nodded, "okay, you can leave."

As the soldier went towards the entrance gate with a clueless expression, the young man mumbled, "Before leaving for the Leon Empire, I guess I will have to meet this Lu Zhen and express my thanks."

On that day, a huge manor that is standing firmly for a decade disappeared without a trace.

<strong>Meanwhile, somewhere in the Kunyu mountain range;</strong>

An attack helicopter was seen hovering around while searching for the bandits. After finding a group, she landed the helicopter somewhere in the open and dismissed it before carrying the heir of Ji Clan on her shoulder like some boar's corpse. The tips of the two daggers of hers were still embedded in his body to make sure his ether energy stay sealed.

She proceeded to walk into the forest for a while until being surrounded by a group of bandits. All of them have lusts written on their faces.

She cold-bloodedly killed everyone except for one person before she gave her identity.
