Weapon seller in the world of magic

Originally, Mark planned to reveal his real identity and further tell her all things about Allen to prove his point in order to gain her trust so that he could get access to all her memories and find a way to his home planet.

But, after hearing her story, he realized that it is useless and he changed his plans swiftly. He doesn’t see any reason to access her memories now. Without his younger brother’s presence at either Ixitus Emperor or his home planet, he has no motivation to visit those places.

Yes, there’s an afterthought of taking his revenge against his former superior, the friends who betrayed him, and the mafia gang group that turned his life upside down, but still, they aren’t as important as his younger member. Finding him takes priority and now Mark has no idea how to accomplish the task.

As a result, he took the approach of being a close friend to Mark who heard about her, that’s all.

Zan Rong/Marina didn’t buy his story completely as she remembered the incident when they met for the first time. Back then, Mark addressed with her shortened form.

However, Marina didn’t have a single memory where she met Mark before her life. Hence, she could only conclude that either they knew each other very well and her memories didn’t return completely or there are some truths he was withholding from her.

After experiencing the world of fantasy for a couple of years, her bet is on the latter. Allen’s full name completely coinciding with her fiance’s name only increased her suspicion further.

But then again, she didn’t question him because of the distance of familiarity between them. Perhaps, she would ask him in the future but for now, she kept her opinions to herself.

After going on for a drive a couple of hours, they returned to the palace. Allen was seen competing in calligraphy with Lan Jing. The king was all praises for the android, expressing his disbelief of how he couldn’t believe Allen was a complete beginner as Mark told him.

Being at rank-8, naturally, Allen’s learning ability was something normal humans cannot understand it. Mark could only smile and reply that he is proud of his brother.

Soon, they went to the dining hall for the lunch and once it was finished, Mark started his journey back to the Phoenix Empire.

By the following evening, Mark reached home with Song Yue, Allen, and Black Knight (Song Yun) while the two beast emperors traveled on their own to go to Mt. Lan.

As for the two coachmen and the bicorn carriages, since they originally belonged to Eastern Sun, Mark left them at the palace and traveled the LMV.

They reached home by 4:45, and surprisingly, just half an hour later, a soldier was at the store with a scroll in his hand.

He gave it to Allen and returned it.

After freshening up, as Mark came out of his room, he was handed the scroll. Taking a seat on a couch, he opened it.

There weren’t many sentences written inside. And the content was also so clear that he was forced to respond right away. Closing it, he calmly rose to his feet and said, ”Allen, we are going to the imperial palace. Inform Xie Mei about it and also tell her to pass the information to Song Yue. It might get a while for her to come out of her bath anyways.”

Allen nodded firmly before asking about their means of transport and further suggesting his opinion. As the rank-8 android, he was more connected to Mark’s soul than Alina in the past ever could be.

He exactly knew what Mark was thinking. And at the moment, the weapon seller was wondering whether he should take the attack helicopter, go by LMV, or just fly using an exo suit.

”Big Bro, based on how your fame has improved in the eyes of the imperial family and the change in the situation at Gong City, it is recommended to intimidate the imperial family before they put pressure on us. There is a high chance that the Emperor will question your involvement in the war.” Allen didn’t wait for orders and instead gave his master a piece of advice, trying to test if Mark would feel comfortable with it or if he would feel offended.

Based on Mark’s reaction, Allen decided that he would act accordingly in the future.

Of course, there is a reason for him to suddenly voice his opinion even though he was upgraded to rank-8, a while ago. It is because of the existence of the real Allen Spencer.

He knew that he is a replacement for Mark’s brother but after the incident with Zan Rong, Allen was worried about his place in Mark’s heart after the original returns.

Seeing that Mark’s real brother was stranded up in some world and Mark planned to search for him too, the android who was becoming a lot closer to a real human felt like he should use all this time to get so close to Mark that the latter would no longer think of him as a replacement.

Fortunately for him, Mark already stopped thinking of him as a mere android. So, that’s a head start. Now, he should once again make his master feel like he is not only reliable for fighting but also a reliable advisor.

”Upgrading to rank-8 really had brought tremendous changes to him,” thought Mark and responded with a question, ”What do you think we should do then?”

Seeing Mark respond positively, Allen let out a pleasant smile and spoke, ”Jinlong, the gold dragon would be the best scenario to be used as a mount but he has other uses, and using traditional mounts to make appearances shouldn’t be your style. Hence, I recommend Danya.”

”The divine throne?” Mark was taken aback at first but then he remembered that it can change shape according to the will of its owner. And it can also fly. In an instant, he realized what the android was trying to convey. ”Do you mean I should transform Danya into some sort of spaceship from sci-fi movies?”

”Exactly,” nodded the android. Allen further said with a tiny bit of excitement, ”Its appearance shouldn’t be simple either as it only makes it appear exotic for the people of this planet and nothing more. If you give me enough time, I think I could design in a way that you can even use all the unlocked missiles too. While it will take several days to build a perfect model, for now, we can do with basic ones like rotary guns at one of the hard points and…”

”Nah, let’s just stick to the civilian spaceship model.” Mark shut down Allen’s idea as it would restrict him to transform into other things at any time he wants. There’s also the weapon’s available skill set to consider. ”Anyways, thanks for the tip. Let’s go with your idea. And I think I have the perfect appearance I need in my mind.”

Allen immediately realized what his master was thinking of and he gave his approval with a nod, ”Yes, I believe you do, although we have to mind the size of the object. It should be big but not too big. People should witness its entire appearance and we should be able to land it in the palace ground.”

”Yeah, I know.”

Mark proceeded to summon the divine throne.
