Weapon Seller In The World Of Magic

487 At the Dragon Empire

After a while;

Shang Wei bowed to Shang Fu and Lan Jingyi, bidding them goodbye, "We will meet again, Father, Mother."

As he turned around to walk away, Lan Jingyi spoke as she looked at her son's back, "Your Majesty, why didn't you ask him to pursue the power? You always wanted him to succeed you."

"It's the choice he made," Shang Fu shook his head with a sigh, "During the final round of the trial, he was the one who gave up and let Shang Jun ascend the throne so that there would be stability in the empire. His choice also turned out to be right. How could I ask him to choose the path of betrayal, just because he was frustrated with his job?"

"The one with power and the support of the people has the right to seize the throne, Your Majesty," commented his wife. As he looked at her with a bit of surprise, she further said, "There is stability in the empire but I don't think the people love Shang Jun as much as they do Xiao Wei or you when you ruled the land. They were merely afraid of him due to his harsh punishments and he ruthlessly crushed the rebellions without trying to negotiate, or so the maids say."

"But, that kind of Emperor is what this land needs. A softie like me who would put the lives of soldiers and my people above the reputation of the Empire won't be able to live up to our ancestors, Dear," Shang Fu expressed his support for his successor, earning a frown from his wife instead.

She wanted to argue with him, thought of revealing to him how he was duped by Mark but didn't do so for the sake of keeping her son's secret.

In the end, she could only forcefully let out a smile and grabbed his arm, "Whether you are a good ruler or not, let the people decide it for themselves after they experience the ruling of your successor." After a brief pause, she said, "By the way, I forgot to mention. Xiao Jiao appears to be at the doorstep of her breakthrough to the 8-circle realm. She might return sooner than we expect."

"Eh? 8-circle realm? Already?" The former Emperor was stunned by the news. "But, she just entered 7-circle just a few weeks ago." His mind couldn't comprehend the fact that his 15-year-old daughter was going to achieve cultivation that takes decades for genius cultivators.

Lan Jingyi couldn't help but let out a chuckle as she saw her husband's expression, "Your Majesty, our daughter is the daughter of heaven. She isn't someone you can compare with mortals. All she required is a worthy guide and she met one now."

Within 4 hours, they had already reached the shores of the Dragon Continent just as Mark informed them before they boarded the vehicle. From there, it took another 25 minutes to reach their destination.

Intending to grab the attention of potential customers as well as unknown enemies, he reduced the spider-ship's altitude to as low as 200 ft from the ground once the Imperial city of Dragon appeared in his sight. Mark also reduced its speed to that of ordinary flying beasts.

Just as he expected, it alerted every passerby on the way. Most of the commoners living in the outer sector of the city panicked and some couldn't help but run for their lives.

It goes without saying that the news of an unidentified flying object reached the imperial palace.

The spider-ship landed in the front yard of the most luxurious hotel in the city best known for selling the Elixir of Eldervine, an expensive wine costing 11,000 gold coins per 80 ml cup.

As Mark and his companions stepped out of the vehicle, they were greeted by one of the employees, who offered to escort them to the reception area. However, Mark refused it and asked to bring the hotel manager to them.

Sylvandria and others looked at Mark, wondering what he was trying to do. But, after witnessing his actions back in her world, the former high priestess felt that her soon-to-be husband had something in his mind.

Her suspicions became evident when the employee politely said that the hotel manager was busy conversing with an esteemed guest at the moment and wouldn't be able to meet him. He apologized for the inconvenience while glancing at the manticore standing with the guests.

In response, Mark took a glance to the side and asked Sylvandria, James, and Steve to release their auras, but just mild enough. It was so that the other two ladies remained unaffected.

Just as he wanted, the hotel manager quickly rushed out of the hotel without letting Mark and the others wait for even a minute. The job was done and Mark was satisfied, thinking that this incident would now create a rumor with the help of the employees or the other guests at the hotel.

What he had not taken into account is the fact that the aura release of three supreme beings not only alerted the hotel manager and the guests but every true expert currently living in the city, including the ones at the imperial palace. Usually, it should be a good thing and make his plans become easier, but the timing was so early that it had the opposite effect.
