Weapon seller in the world of magic

Genesis Enterprises, Lunaris City, Western Moon kingdom;

*Ding! Congratulations, you won the mysterious box from the Lottery reward.

*Ding! Opening the box in 3, 2, 1…

*Ding! You won a Random Skill evolution card.

*Ding! Random Skill evolution card was used. Choose the path: Multiple Lightning Clones /Elemental Clone

"Hmm?" Mark, for the first time, got a skill evolution card from the weekly lottery wheel, and his Lightning clone was randomly selected, probably because of his current 10 points of luck.

"System, descriptions please…"

**Multiple Lightning clones: Summon any number of lightning clones with stats equal to your maximum stats +1. Cost: 1% ether/second per each clone. CD: None

**Elemental Clone: Summon a clone of any element that the user possesses for 5 minutes. The summoned clone has the same stats as the user but could effectively have the same set of respective elemental skills that the user possesses. Cost: 50% ether energy. CD: None.

"Hmm, I could summon even an antimatter-type clone? That's freaking awesome, but I have no use for it…"

After taking a look at both details, Mark chose a simpler one and best for the present situation over their overall potential.

*Ding! Lightning Clone has evolved to Multiple Lightning Clone skill.

"Okay, the lottery is done. Next…"

"System, Open Statue of Velkazar"

*Ding! Prayed once. You received a Basic fireball card*3 as a reward.

"Ugh… not another basic fireball. I already got two of them from last time and now another two… This statue never gives me useful ones. What do I do with these fireballs that could only injure 3-circle realm Spirit warriors? And they can't even be given to others. Anyway, let's just stack it up in the inventory. Why waste throwing free stuff…"

After his luck points returned to normal, Mark left the store, although not before handing a 10 gold coin bonus to Chang Bo, who was constantly the source of his luck absorption.

Upon returning to the palace, he saw hundreds of servants were busy, cleaning the palace and the residences inside the compound, even the barracks were swept once again and the soldiers were also busy cleaning their armor to make them look all shiny, the kitchens were busy with royal chefs shouting at his assistants for their mistakes, and the soldiers were busy practicing their march on the palace grounds.

Mark had slightly given more attention to the firearms division that's basically comprised of only non-cultivators but are highly skilled in archery. While it is active, unlike at Phoenix Empire, there was still no permanent commander appointed for this division. They were currently employed in the patrolling division.

The reason why he paid special attention to it isn't just because they were using his weapons, but it is because of the teenage girl who was leading the march.

For several weeks, Xie Mei was training under Meng Tao. When she surpassed him, she began training the troops that were mostly depending on the guidelines from the first batch briefly trained under Mark.

When Mark was spotted by Xie Mei, she put more enthusiasm into the drills, but by the time she tried to glance at him again to see his reaction, he was gone. She could only sigh inwardly and continue the exercise.

Roughly two hours later, a huge troop entered the Lunaris City. The citizens stopped their work and stood on the side, watching them out of curiosity.

The Spirit Warriors/cultivators couldn't help but shiver as they watched the soldiers dressed in scarlet and gold armor. The weakest of them is in the 6-circle realm and there are more than one 8-circle realm experts. As for the one leading them, no one could even gauge his strength. They could only feel awe by looking at him.

It took an hour for them to reach the palace. And there, the King was seen waiting with his officials, the ladies weren't present as they did when they welcomed Mark and his companions a while ago.

However, the King seemed more enthusiastic as he stared at the army. Wearing a long, flowing robe made from the finest silk dyed in imperial yellow; embroidered across the robe are golden rabbits with scarlet vertical eyes. These cute creatures are depicted amidst clouds, causing an illusion to a spectator that they are chasing white pearls across the skies.

His hat was also adorned with strings of pearls and jade.

Overall, his wear screams of this luxurious royal attire from even far away.

Who are these troops, one wonder?

Well, these are Elite troops of Fu Sheng that traveled all the way from Dragon Empire on their warship and just reached Western Moon's shores three days ago but waited until their Imperial Sovereign arrived from his trip.

As James parted his ways with Fu Sheng after entering Western Moon for some reason, he couldn't be seen with Fu Sheng at the royal banquet arranged for the demigod.

Fu Sheng sat along with the King, State Preceptor, and Mark on the Central platform, which was built a few feet higher than the rest of the floor with pillars; each one had a rabbit statue made of top-quality jade on the top that held a white pearl.

"Young master, this is one of the finest liquors I have ever tasted. Thank you for allowing me to taste it," Fu Sheng was all courteous with Mark as he drank the cup of vodka, which was only served to the Spirit warriors with atleast 5-circle realm cultivation.

As King Shen Niu and the State Preceptor meaningfully glanced at each other, Mark waved his hand while taking a sip in calmness, "Please, you are overrating it."

"Young Master, as our cultivation level increases, the effect of the liquors will automatically decrease. Most of the wines will become akin to flavored water for us," Fu Sheng let out a smile as he explained. He continued to praise, "This drink is made of common ingredients we could find anywhere, and yet, it has this neutral flavor taste, clean and smooth.

The best thing is that a moment of instant burn you would feel when gulping." The former Imperial Sovereign of Dragon Empire really looked like he enjoyed the drink, for the onlookers. However, Mark only felt like he was flattering him. Hence, he tried to keep his conversation light without expressing too much of his thoughts on the ongoing civil war in the neighboring lands.

But, eventually, when the topic of mass assassinations came up, he had to speak up on the matter, although not in the way Shen Niu expected him to react.

"Regardless of whether it is Shang Jun's ploy or the rebel forces' action, it won't change the fact that the imperial city has become too dangerous for the nobles. Better to open the borders for them and give them shelter." Mark also told them that he was going to launch a secret operation to take out some acquaintances from that war zone.

Upon hearing his plan, King Shen Niu said, "I heard that the prospective heirs of those six clans were taken into tight protective custody and Miss Lin Xue is one of them. It is quite possible that Emperor Shang did it to keep the clans under control and to get their support against the rebel forces. In that case, getting Miss Lin out might unnecessarily spread a rumor that Mr.

Lu is supporting the rebels."

Before Mark replied to that, Fu Sheng spoke, "Actually, we don't need to resort to such methods. If the young master gives me the order, I, and my gold dragon knight division are ready to go there and bring whoever we want. Believe me when I say, there is no empire in the world that could dare deny our demands."

"Hmm…" Mark fell into thoughts for a second, considering his suggestion seriously for a second. After all, he did underestimate Shang Jun, not expecting him to decisively move against the six major noble clans before they even had the opportunity to join the civil war. There is also an issue of trust in this demigod, who can only be used as muscle for now.

After thinking thoroughly, he opened his mouth, replying to Fu Sheng, "Just one person would do, Mr. Fu. Just visit Shen Niue by yourself and bring her to Western Moon. There are three more you can bring along in return but only if they volunteer to tag along, although I don't think they would."

"Understood," Fu Sheng nodded but then asked after a brief pause, "By the way, who are those three?"

"The two imperial princes and the supreme commander," replied Mark in a calm manner, taking the others by surprise.
