Weapon seller in the world of magic

Lin Xue is the only child of Lin Wuying, the head of the Lin Clan and the minister of Personnel.

From the moment she was born, her father doted on her. Whatever she asked, he would present it before her without any questions.

Thankfully, for him, his daughter didn’t turn out a spoiled child. Eventually, his doting only increased further.

So, Lin Wuying didn’t ask a question and stamped the seal on the contract along with writing his name below it. Along with the stamp, the signature was necessary for the contract so that everyone knows who stamped it.

When something happens, the officials will check the strokes and writing style for authentication so that one cannot say that the seal was stolen and misused. This way, the Prefects will be saved from time-consuming investigations.

Lin Xue was happy and left his chamber while skipping in excitement. She can’t wait to spar with Allen again.

However, once she left his chamber, Lin Wuying called Lin Xue’s bodyguard Yao Ling and enquired about the matter. He was shocked to hear that there existed a commoner who can defeat his daughter with ease just by sword skills. After all, she learned from one of the best swordsmen in the Empire and even became a swordmaster.

Yao Ling continued to tell about other things. Lin Wuying felt that everything about this store in a tiny alley is strange.

And according to Yao Ling’s investigation, no one in the neighborhood knows about Mark either.

Lin Wuying smelled a conspiracy and asked Yao Ling to put two men nearby Genesis store and observe their movements from far away and report to him. At the same time, he also asked him to keep an eye on Mark and Allen when they come to Lin Mansion, every day.

The next day, Lin Xue woke up early and rushed to the Hanga District to get to the store before 8 a.m.

But, when she arrived there, the store is still closed. So, she started to knock it.

Mark spotted her from the first-floor window and slowly came downstairs and opened the shutter only to see the scroll in her hand.

Her eyes fell on Allen who looked the same as before. Her heart fluttered a little bit. She immediately shook her head, throwing stupid thoughts away, and took a glimpse at the Yawning Mark.

”Here, your contract.” She handed it to him and took out the pocket watch, ”it’s almost seven. Get ready and follow me. You can also have your breakfast over there. C’mon, Hurry up.”

”Right away?” Mark was taken aback at first but Lin Xue reminded him that according to the contract, Allen will have to spar her three hours in the morning on her choice.

She then complained that it takes nearly an hour to travel between Lin Clan and the store if one isn’t in a rush. She was in fact doing a favor to him by coming here personally and picking them up.

Mark went silent when he heard that. He felt like slapping himself for missing such an important detail when signing it during the previous evening. The contract only said for three hours of sparring but the destination is an hour away. That means two hours of traveling or at least, one hour if they are rushed.

Now, adhering to the contract, his opening hours will have to be reduced by another two hours? ”I’m really stupid. Sigh…”

”But then again, it’s 500 gold coins. Perhaps, I can move into a better neighborhood and buy a large store, later. Wait a second. Gold?”

It was then something clicked in his head and he reminded her about another important condition. ”You forgot about buying 500 gold coins worth of goods from our store before the spar.”

”Yeah, I know.” Lin Xue took out a pouch from her storage card and casually threw it at Mark. As he caught it in reflex, she spoke, ”I’ll be waiting at the carriage. Be quick.”

Mark was too happy to care about her behavior with his eyes glued to the glistening five hundred gold coins within the pouch.

After confirming the amount with Allen, Mark looked at Yao Ling, ”What weapon would you like to buy?”

He pointed at the Rules Board. ”You can choose any weapon from the five options as you are representing Lady Lin.”

Yao Ling felt a bit confused as he didn’t know which one to pick. But, according to the contract, as they will be given to others anyway, he pointed at the expensive one, ”Give 15 of those Semi-Automatic Pistols, a Revolver, and 200 bullets.”

Although he wouldn’t act on his own in matters that have nothing to do with him, considering how Lin Xue gave him the right to pick the weapons cuz she’s disinterested, Yao Ling decided to buy a weapon of every kind so that he may present it to Lin Wuying later.

Mark heaved a sigh of relief when Yao Ling stated his decision. After all, there’s a side quest linked to buying the Semi-Automatic Pistols. He was worried that this guy might actually pick 100 Single-shot pistols. It would also help him but completing this side quest will also unlock another gun of the same type.

”Allen, watch the store.” After giving an order to the Android, he walked towards the staircase, climbed the steps to get to the first floor, and started his brushing.

As Mark disappeared from his sight, Yao Ling looked around the store again. He concentrated for a while to find the source of the suppression on his soul but as he didn’t get any success, he stopped looking around and eyed the Android.

”I heard that you came from faraway lands, Allen Spencer.” Yao Ling let out a comment while Allen was standing nearby the counter without making any movements like a statue.

This was the first time Yao Ling attempted to talk to Allen.

Allen turned towards him and remembered what his master told the two heiresses of the noble clans. He nodded in response.

Yao Ling continued his investigation through Allen in an indirect way. ”Your name indeed is a lot different from here. So, where is your homeland? Are you from the unchartered territory?”

Allen didn’t have an answer to that. So, he kept silent.

Yao Ling took his silence as an affirmative. He then asked Allen, ”How long have you known Owner Lu?”

Instead of giving a number, Allen answered, ”From the moment I was created.”

Yao Ling mistook ’creation’ with ’born’ as he never considered Allen as non-human.

It led him to believe that Mark was also from unchartered territories, namely the islands located within the vast ocean. This also made him misunderstand why Mark was very reluctant to give Allen to Lin Xue. The truth is far different.

Yao Ling continued to slowly probe into the origins of the store through Allen. Unfortunately, more than ninety percent of the questions went unanswered as the Android himself either didn’t have an answer stored in his system or Allen need permission from Mark to speak about them.

So, the six-circle realm assassin could only get a few half-truths in the end.

Fifteen minutes later, Mark returned in new clothes. In the meantime, he already created the weapons required for the order. After that, Allen started to place them in respective boxes, and later, handed them to the representative of his customer.

***

Almost an hour later;

A horse carriage entered the compound of Lin Mansion. Yao Ling was naturally acting as the coachman while Mark and Allen get to travel with Lin Xue in the same carriage.

However, until they reached the place, Lin Xue never spoke a word to either of them. She just closed her eyes and meditated. Seeing how Lin Xue closed her eyes, Mark spent the time creating weapons for the upcoming days.

The carriage stopped and the door was opened by Yao Ling. ”Lady Lin, we are here.”

She opened her eyes and nodded.
