Weapon seller in the world of magic

A few minutes earlier;

Hanga District, Imperial City;

Just like any other day, Allen was operating the store. A couple of customers were roaming around to check out the available weapons.

This new upgraded store had a description attached with each section of weapons or explosives. So, if the customers know how to read, then, Allen wouldn't have even needed to explain what it is.

There was a separate chamber for the demonstration of low-end weapons like pistols and handguns, etc…

The weapons were stored in a glass chamber for display where they can't be taken out without the permission of the owner and the glass is very hard for the customers to even make a scratch with their strength was completely suppressed by Ultimate Defense. So, there's no way of theft even in the absence of Mark.

As a result, Allen was having quite a rest, this time. Unless they personally ask him to demonstrate or ask for an explanation about additional details, he would barely leave the counter.

Around 8 o'clock in the morning, two customers made their way into the store. Like the mysterious lady who was visiting the store daily for the past couple of days, these two customers had a cloak around them and their head was covered by a hood.

Maybe, it's the effect of the cloak or it's because Allen's strength is weaker, the android could neither see their faces nor could he see their details.

But, since they have nothing to do with him, Allen didn't care about it and behaved the same way as he does to every customer.

"Welcome to Genesis Weapon Store." He bowed to them with a straight face, "may I know what you are looking for?"

One of them placed a pouch full of glistening gold coins on the marble counter, "information. It is something that might not be in public knowledge but isn't secretive either. What we seek is simple answers to confirm a couple of things that can be obtained from elsewhere too. In this, there are 500 gold coins. All of it is yours if you give what we want."

As an Android, Allen had a keen sense of hearing. Just from the tone of the customer, he estimated that the customer on the left is an old person, probably in his seventies unless he is some Upper Elite realm (6-circle) or higher realm expert who has a long life span.

While he doesn't have any use for the gold coins, Allen wanted to atleast hear what these customers want to know.

"Speak." He said to them. "If it is the information that I can provide you, we will talk about the payment."

"That's alright." The old man in the hood nodded. He proceeded to ask, "We wish to confirm the identities of Owner Lu's parents. Are they Lu Yimu and Yi Zexi?

Our second question; did he grow up in the village of Houtang?

Our third question; did he have an eye-shaped birthmark behind his neck?

Our fourth question; did he have an ice attribute?

And finally, do you have a portrait of Owner Lu from his young age, preferably from his teenage? Even if it is a current one, it will be helpful. If there isn't you could just describe his features.

Each question is worth 100 gold coins. How many of them can you answer?"

Allen fell into silence. If the customer was seeking the answers, he would have rejected it but it looked like the former already have answers and is just seeking confirmation.

But, at the same time, the matter is regarding the personal information of his master. He can't act in haste either.

After thinking for a bit, he decided to take Mark's permission.

Meanwhile, at the campsite hundreds of kilometers away from the Imperial city, Mark was watching the scene after connecting through Allen's vision.

"I wonder what they are talking about." He cannot hear the audio but for some reason, he felt those mysterious people in hoods are bad business.

Mark sent a message to Allen just when the latter was about to connect to the system to send a message to the former, enquiring about the matter.

Allen became very happy that his master was actually paying attention to him in secret.

Lately, he started to feel that Mark was ignoring him ever since Alina came into their lives. Lin Xue's constant reminders about it only made it worse.

While there was no jealousy, he still felt sad sometimes that his master isn't depending on him like before. He doesn't want to be useless…

But, now that everything is clear, his mood improved a lot, and explained everything in detail.

After knowing the matter, a frown appeared on Mark's face. "So these people know Lu Zhen's past as well as know my attribute? The only places I used the ice attribute are the dungeon of Taslan and Kunyu valley. It's unlikely Feng Wu's associates. Are they from the Ji Clan?

No, if they are from Ji Clan, how would they know about my special birthmark that was at the bottom of my neck. Only during the shower or changing the clothes, it will be revealed. Not to mention, they are asking about the younger Lu Zhen and are even willing to pay 500 gold coins. That is anything but normal." He thought about it deeply. Something clicked in his mind.

"Don't tell me their aim is just one question and the remaining were just fake ones to hide their real objective? If that's the case, it's highly possible that they wanted to confirm about ice attribute."

After pondering for a while, Mark made a decision and sent a message to the Android.

Upon receiving the order from his master, Allen looked at the hooded customers and opened his mouth, "I can answer all the questions but I don't take free money like this. Buy 1000 gold coins worth of weapons from our store. That is my condition. If you can't comply with the condition, you can leave and confirm your answers from elsewhere."

Allen's reply took those two by surprise, making them think the same thing, "What a loyalty".

The money isn't a problem for them but they didn't expect Allen would want the weapons to be sold rather than earning a huge amount of money for himself.

In their eyes, 500 gold coins were enough for a person like Allen to run away and start a new life unless there's a slave mark placed on his soul. Such forbidden techniques exist in some sects in the northern empires. They were banned in Phoenix Empire but some were used in secret.

But, does Lu Zhen also practice such evil techniques? They had doubts about it.

As they eventually agreed to the deal, Allen spoke, "I don't know about the ice attribute. All I know is that my master possesses Lightning Attribute. The first three questions were true.

As for the fifth question, no, we don't have any portrait in our home but I can draw it for you.

He took out pencil and paper from Mark's inventory and started sketching 15-year-old Lu Zhen. Unlike Alina, he can't connect with Mark's mind or can access his memories.

All he could use was his imagination.

Nevertheless, Mark as well as the other two customers were impressed to see Allen's skills. The level of detail was awesome. Mark saw that the final result on the paper is quite identical to Lu Zhen's appearance from his memories.

*Ding! Lan Jing's affinity is increased by 1. The name was added to the list of exclusive customers.

"Eh? Lan surname?"
