Weapon seller in the world of magic

Two days later at Sylvandrial Dominion;

In a village hidden deep inside the largest forest of Earth-486, almost all elves above 15 regardless of their skin color, gender, and bloodline were seen in armor as they roamed around.

Created by Sylvandria, the former high priestess of the Empire, this place is currently the only location on the planet with an elven population that is not corrupted.

Zan Rong was greeting everyone on the way as she was carrying a basket full of veggies and fruits. She made it to one of the nicely-built treehouses and entered the living room only to see two teenagers arguing with each other about a move in the game of chess they were playing.

”Stop it, you two,” shouted the woman as she walked toward them. After gaining their attention, she went on scolding them, ”People could hear you two even from the ground. Behave your status, will ya? You are supreme beings for god sake.”

”Sorry” ”Sorry”

Both of them apologized at the same time as they sat on their knees.

Zan Rong stared at the mischievous brats for a few seconds and let out a sigh, ”forget it. James, go and wash the vegetables. Steve, you are in charge of cutting as usual.”

”Yes, ma’am” ”Yes, ma’am”

Zan Rong’s body shivered by their reply and she immediately spoke, ”For the last time, stop calling me that way. I’m not old.”

”But, you are older than us.” Both of them spoke at the same time once again. Their expressions looked so innocent that Zan Rong’s frustration increased even more. In the end, she sighed once again and told them to get onto it.

As the two teenagers hurried to complete their tasks, Zan Rong went to the bedroom, where Mark was seen lying unconscious on a wooden cot. With a look of frustration clearly evident on her face, she sighed one more time as she sat on the chair beside the bed, ”When will you wake up, Lu Zhen? You are not even in a coma, according to High Priestess. Unless you wake up and help those kids, they won’t take me to the world where my Allen was stranded. And their extraordinary cultivation realm made it impossible for me to convince them otherwise. Sigh…”

Just as she was wondering whether she should forcefully wake him up by pouring water on his face, she heard a grunt escape from Mark all of a sudden.

Zan Rong sprung up from the seat in surprise and looked at her companion.

Mark’s hands moved to grab his head before he slowly woke up like someone who drank heavily the previous night. ”Ugh…”

As he shook his head a few times while grabbing his hair, Zan Rong patted his shoulder, ”Are you fine?”

”Hmm?” Upon listening to a familiar voice, Mark stopped struggling with his headache and looked at the young lady. He appeared quite surprised, ”Huh? Mari? It’s you, isn’t it? Allen’s friend.”

”Eh?” Zan Rong was slightly taken aback at first because of his words and his usage of the English language from her world but she nodded with a smile and replied, ”Of course, it’s me.”

”I knew it at first glance.” Mark’s face glowed in excitement. As if he received a boost of energy and became completely sober, he sat straight as he asked a series of questions, ”Where is Allen? Are you still in contact with him? By the way, how did you find me? I thought I was a goner for sure. Anyway, did the police or army personnel stop by? What did you say to them? It doesn’t seem like I’m at a hospital. Where am I anyway?”

Never in the world did she expect Mark to react in a strange manner that just doesn’t make sense to her. He was behaving like a completely different person.

In shock, she couldn’t help but stare at him with several thoughts popping up in her head. The thought of Mark becoming insane made her worried a bit.

”Hello? Hello? Miss Marina Zan?” He snapped his fingers twice, getting her back to reality. She reacted with just one question, ”Wait a second. Let me ask you something. What was the last thing you remembered?”

Mark grabbed his chin and fell into thoughts, ”Hmm… where was I? I blew up that secret R&D facility of that mafia king and escaped on a boat with my comrades only to get shot several bullets and fell into the ocean, isn’t it? After that, everything is blank.” His eyes then fell on the lady and continued with his thinking, ”Mari definitely looked older than I last met her but for some reason, her appearance doesn’t surprise me. Did we meet recently? But, what happened to me? I was in a coma or something? Wait a second? How do I know for sure that she isn’t with some organization? The fact that she appeared familiar somehow makes me wonder whether she is a part f the mafia gang too. Everything feels suspicious. But, if she’s innocent and this is a misunderstanding, I’m gonna disappoint my brother. I wonder if they were dating or still friends. Let’s just act carefully without leaking any secrets and see if there’s anything unusual before taking any action.”

He shook off his thoughts and then took a deep breath to become completely calm before continuing to converse with the lady, ”My memory is still a bit hazy. I just remembered getting honey-trapped by a girl and getting abducted by a mafia gang. After that, it is quite blurry.”

”Huh? Honey trap? Mafia gang? What bullshit this guy is spouting? Did he really go insane? Or did it really happen at some point in his life when he visited my planet? If so, how many years ago was that?” Zan Rong’s worries heightened immediately. She swallowed her saliva and asked another question, ”Let me ask you something. Do you happen to know a person named Song Yue?”

”Song Yue? Who is that?” Mark blinked his eyes twice as he responded with confusion. ”Your friend or something?”

Zan Rong’s face suddenly became pale when she heard his response. This time, she was sure that Mark lost his memories. ”Wait here… I’ll return in a second.”

In a panic, she turned around and swiftly left the room, bringing back the pair of teenagers with her.

Both of them looked happy as they saw Mark, who stepped down from the bed. And one of them looked so happy that tears welled up in his eyes. The boy named Steve couldn’t stop himself from rushing forward and giving a tight hug to Mark, taking him and Zan Rong by surprise, ”I’m glad that you woke up, Dad.”

”Dad?” ”Dad?”

A strange silence filled the room for the new few seconds.

”What the f…”

Meanwhile, in the plane of celestials, a figure shrouded in a blinding flash of light opened her eyes and let out a smile, ”He woke up quicker than I prophesized. No wonder it chose him as the host. Nevertheless, the orb of creation cannot escape, and neither can it hide for very long. Before it makes any counterattack or someone else finds it out, I have to firmly assimilate my energy with his body so that I can harvest it when the time comes. Once the orb falls into my hands, I will have the power to overthrow the Jade Emperor.”
