Weapon seller in the world of magic-Novel

Roughly 15 minutes later;

The atmosphere in the room fell quiet as Mark and Ouyang Zen were digesting the information each of them received from one another.

As a person who wants to help his sister, Ouyang Zen was honest. He didn't leave a single important detail like how her grandfather was investigating an unexplored ancient ruins site and discovered mountains of gold, jewels, and top quality equipment that includes a divine grade item.

However, it wasn't easy for him to get those things out of the place as the main underground chamber was guarded by a white dragon.

The former king fought with the dragon and emerged victorious while receiving fatal injuries in return. As a result, he lost his cultivation and a great Supreme Being like Ouyang Ru ended up being a mortal.

But, this isn't the end of the story.

Before the white dragon died, it handed Zan Rong who appeared to be sealed in crystal, and informed Ouyang Ru that her real name is Marina Zan. After revealing that she is from a different world and her cultivation is vastly restricted, the white dragon requested Ouyang Ru to protect her in exchange for a divine-grade item and became a corpse.

And by the time Zan Rong was unsealed from the crystal and opened her eyes, she had no recollection of her identity and the king gave her a new name and title.

In the following year, the king dies in an assassination plot and Ouyang Zen would become the new king of Eastern Sun.

As for Mark's side of the story, he wasn't that honest for his past life is linked with hers. Hence, he didn't speak about his actual connection with Zan Rong but instead told them that he met her at a place called Vienna during one of his travels with his master.

After that, he saw her once again in another world where a race called the dark elves looked slightly different from the traditional elves of this current world. However, he didn't meet her as his master urged him to leave that place due to certain circumstances. Later on, he met her for the third time during the auction. Mark claimed that this is why he was so surprised to meet her back then. There's nothing more to the story that he can add to.

There were two reasons behind this false story narrated by Mark.

One, obviously he doesn't want to reveal that he transmigrated for the manipulative people of this world would try to term him as some kind of demon instead.

As for the second, his abnormal growth of strength and the unknown modern weapon technology will give rise to a lot of suspicions as his fame attracts the attention of Supreme realm experts.

It wasn't that he was afraid of being targeted. It is just that Mark is a businessman whose income depends on the public.

Hence, he had to give a bit of information about his background so that the commoners think of him as their own, not some otherworlder or a guy who sold his soul to the devil. It was also one of the reasons why he revealed his birth secret too and plans to make it public, later on.

With this, now, his story will go like a prince who had been wronged since birth, then, lived his life as a normal fellow until he encounters a mysterious expert by coincidence, changing his life upon accepting him as his master and selling firearms on his behalf.

As for the identity of his master, no one would dare to enquire about a guy who can travel between the worlds (i.e., atleast a demigod) and create such advanced weapons.

Anyways, back to the present, after sorting out his thoughts, Mark asked whether they have any ideas about how to forcefully jog one's memory before adding that his master is currently out of reach.

Ouyang Zen looked at him like he want to scold him, are you an idiot? If I know how to retrieve her memory, why would I bother talking about this with you? Can't I do it myself?

Thankfully, Lan Jing responded quickly by telling them about a piece of treasure.

"Lu Zhen, it is called the Eye of Talim, a dwarven artifact that can help you do that. It is said that the artifact is usually used to only store the memories of any number of people so that their experiences and knowledge of techniques can be passed down to new generations. However, you can also use it to recollect a forgotten memory as long as it was there in your brain."

As Mark became mildly curious about this artifact, Ouyang Zen asked him where he can find it.

Without a bit of hesitation, Lan Jing then said, "it was currently in the possession of the Wuji Sect. However, it is impossible to steal it from them as it was too precious."

"Wuji Sect? Never heard of it. Is it strong?"

Perhaps, Mark grew too arrogant after the power boost earlier that he no longer cared about these powerful organizations no matter what kind of prestige they have.

He wasn't even worried about the overall strength of the sect and just casually asked his granduncle to speak about the trump card of the Wuji sect.

Lan Jing answered, "According to what we know, the Wuji sect's leader is a Supreme Being (peak-9-circle), and has five Supreme realm experts and more than a dozen legendary realm experts as backing."

Mark's expression slightly changed for a moment but the calmness returned quickly to his face.

Lan Jing continued to speak about the power of the Wuji sect, which is based in the Leon Empire.

Excluding countless treasures, powerful guardian beasts, and two divine-grade treasures, the sect has a defensive formation, which will restrict the strength of invaders.

"Even with 'his' support, you cannot bend the will of Wuji sect elders." Lan Jing indirectly warned Mark to not take foolish steps for he knows what kind of person this grandnephew of his is.

But, will Mark listen to him? Naturally, he wouldn't.

In the end, he promised them that once he acquires the artifact, he will send a message and ask them to bring the girl to the Imperial city of Phoenix.

Ouyang Zen and Lan Jing could only look at each other and shook their heads as Mark left the room.
