Weapon seller in the world of magic

It was unlike any other day in the City of Lunaris.

All the citizens of the city were given a mandatory work leave. Some of them filled the arena; some of them were chilling inside their homes, and the remaining came to the royal road that connects the palace to one of the city gates, stretching for around 12km in length.

Almost one-third forces of the kingdom, i.e. Fifty thousand soldiers, were deployed to block the entire concrete road. They stood on either side of the road, blocking everything.

But, most importantly, at the City Gate, a hundred-soldier unit led by their commander, Eol/Fu Sheng, was seen standing in a large group with their gazes on the front. The Kingdom's General with a couple of his lieutenants was also seen alongside them, instead of staying beside their King.

Commander Eol, who was in possession of Fu Sheng's body ever since the latter died, raised his head to look at the clouds, "I can sense that vehicle's presence." His lips widened a little bit and a mumble escaped from his mouth, "It is almost time. Hmm… there it is…"

Soon, the scary-looking black spider ship appeared in the view and the general immediately shouted, "Chancellor Lu is here."

As his sword rose above his head, the soldiers in the line raised their swords one after another. Within no time, every soldier deployed there raised their swords, giving the kingdom's sword salute to Mark as the Spidership lowered its altitude to the bare minimum and Mark got out of the spaceship and stood on top of it.

Eol and his hundred soldiers knelt down uniformly and greeted him at the same time, "Zero Squad greets the Supreme Commander."

Under Eol, their name was changed to Zero Squad, which was taken from Mark's previous life. It was the most elite squad of the Federation he was a part of.

Mark stared down at the kneeling commander, "Arise, Eol. You are a demigod. You don't have to kneel down to me."

The subordinates don't understand why the chancellor calls their Sovereign Fu with the name of 'Eol' but they don't dare to voice out their thoughts and continue to do their job.

Eol then got up to his feet and cupped his fists, "You gave a new life to me, Chancellor Lu; not once but twice. You are also the one we swore our loyalty to. As your subordinate, it is my duty to remind everyone who I stand with."

"Ah, yes…" Mark was slightly stumped by his answer but he doesn't want to argue about unnecessary things with this Legendary Hero of the Elven world. "Anyway, what's with this welcome," He shifted his gaze to the general.

The General, who didn't kneel like Eol's army because of his loyalty toward King Shen Niu, answered, "It is His Majesty's Order." He then gestured with his hand to proceed through the road.

"Alright," Mark nodded and then shifted his attention to the demigod, "Eol, join me on the spider ship. Zero Squad will follow from behind, participating in this procession." After giving the order, he glanced at the General, "You don't mind it, right?"

The General shook his head, "If it is Lord Lu's wish, it is not a problem."

"Good, let's go." Mark then gestured for Eol to jump onto the Spidership but Eol responded with a request, "Is it alright if my disciple also joins me on the board."

"You have taken a disciple?" Mark was taken aback at once. Surprise was clearly evident on his face, "When? Who is it?"

"Eh?" Eol was surprised this time, "Did you forget that you are the one who told me to teach her the skills of firearms and Lan sect techniques?"

"Huh? I did it?" Mark was momentarily confused but then, he suddenly remembered the event that happened months ago, "Ah!" His eyes immediately wandered, staring down at the soldiers that stood like statues; well, except for one girl.

The 17-year-old was the only one that raised her head and was looking straight at Mark, for a while. Because of the knight's helmet, one cannot see her face but her actions make her identity almost clear.

As their eyes met, she lowered her head and Mark activated his Eyes of God skill right away, inspecting her details and confirming her identity.

Xie Mei

.net

Bloodline: Griffin

Affiliation: Kun Empire (Former)/Heavenly Domain/Western Moon

Description: Born as a child of a human and a pure celestial from heaven, the girl was born with divine energy and no limiters. She is the disciple of Eol and the appointed successor of Zero Squad. Under her master's teachings, Xie Mei also created a new path for herself, Gunslinger, one that can effortlessly use guns and sword magic in battle.

Note: She seems to have a huge crush on Master. According to the notes left behind by my creator, a child from Xie Mei and Master will be born with the highest potential among mortals in the entire universe.

"Shut up, Ark. Don't need to mention that. Erase that note," Mark was impressed by her data but his mood was spoiled by the cheeky note in the end. He coolly spoke to Eol, "She may join, but only as your disciple, not as my acquaintance."

As long as she has feelings for him, Mark would continue to either ignore her or treat her harshly regardless of how much time it passed.

She got out of the formation and followed her master, climbing up onto the vehicle. Mark didn't even spare a glance at her and looked straight as the Spidership slowly floated in the air and flew above the road, maintaining a very low attitude.

After dropping the ladies at Song Mansion, the spider ship changed its course and went toward the Arena where his invited guests and thousands of citizens were waiting for him, although currently watching Meng Tao challenging an Orthrus, a two-headed giant hound. This fierce grade beast is in the 6-circle realm, and yet, a mere 3-circle realm Spirit Warrior like Meng Tao is looking to tame the beast as both of them were imprisoned inside an energy barrier by the mages.

Of course, due to his affiliation with Genesis Enterprises and Mark, Shen Niu told the mages that conjured the barrier to save him, in case of an accidental misfortune.

Meng Tao was wielding dual firearms, both of them were a handgun.

While both of them are ether weapons, the scarlet ether bullets shot out of them don't have the strength to even graze the beast's skin, but the people are witnessing that a 6-circle beast was being injured by the energy bullets shot by the challenger.

Neither could anyone sense any attribute energy in them nor could anyone sense their attack strength surpassed 2-circle. Yet, Meng Tao was seen injuring it.

As the two-headed giant hound chased after him, Meng Tao kept his distance and shot a couple of bullets, each from the gun, and focused on running away for the next 30 seconds.

This pattern when repeated for atleast 12 minutes, the experts drew out their own conclusions, although none could decipher the true trick behind the success.

By the time the Spidership reached the skies above the arena, Meng Tao's battle looked like it was coming to an end. Hence, Mark didn't disturb his moment and quietly watched in the screens alongside his companions, with Eol's invisibility spell covering the vehicle's presence.
