Weapon Seller In The World Of Magic

The afternoon passed away with most of them started returning to their homes while some with another agenda continued to stay at the palace as guests.

There were a few people who wanted to talk to Mark, but he wasn't even there at the palace to meet them. The siblings were spotted by the guards, as they were leaving the palace alongside the mysterious woman in the hood by riding on the top of flying dark horses.

Together, they traveled for half a day at least without stopping at any location, until they reached an island located in the middle of the ocean, thousands of kilometers away from any mainland.

At one glance, the island doesn't look much different from others. It's a tropical island filled with palm trees at the edge of a thick forest and sandy beaches here and there, etc...

However, when Mark scanned the place using his Eyes of God skill, he saw a mysterious barrier around the island.

Upon entering that barrier, Mark found the change of scenery. Instead of a forest, there were a bunch of large towers and pyramids located on barren land; all of them screamed of ancient structures.

One of such structures particularly attracted both of their attention. It was a stone tablet with mysterious writings.

Shang Jiao couldn't help but point at it, just as Mark was about to ask it too, "What was that?"

The hooded woman shook her head, "Even we have no idea about it. The language is indecipherable."

"It looked quite similar to Ouroboros though," thought Mark, scanning its details. Obviously, the name wasn't displayed, but he found out one interesting thing. "Is this the entrance to that place?" He couldn't help but ask, pointing his finger at it.

"Oh, you managed to see it? I wasn't wrong about you, after all," A smile bloomed on the woman's face under the hood. "So, are you ready to get in?" She asked.

Mark simply looked at her and replied, "Yes, but I don't understand why there is a need to hide your identity. Out with it, Miss Xin." Mark followed by reaching out to her hood and lowering it down. She didn't resist it too and revealed her face to them.

Shang Jiao never met her. Hence, she wasn't that unfazed by her. However, Mark looked a bit displeased, "is there a reason why you use different identities to buy them?"

"Then, people would know that I was related to Void Temple," replied the woman. She looked back straight into Mark's eyes, turning serious, "You killed the Werewolf Lord and our Matriarch, and that divided our organization into several factions with everyone wanting to claim the throne. It gave me a window of opportunity to steal our treasury to make a deal with you.

When the news of fifty earth-grade divine weapons used to get traded in your auction reaches the temple, they will eventually figure out the truth and probably start hunting me down. Before that happens, I need to reach the Supreme Being stage and claim the leadership."

She then took out the strength stat pill she won in the auction and handed it to him, "I need the other pill that you promised me."

"Okay," Mark nodded and threw the pill into his inventory before taking out the intelligence stat pill that would help her. However, before handing it over to her, he warned, "I need to remind you that it is best to be taken when you reach the peak stage of the legendary realm, which you haven't reached yet."

"I know," Xin Rui nodded in agreement. She then pointed her finger at Shang Jiao, "Your sister here will help me. She has managed to inherit the Orb of Time from the spirit of this world. Once we remove the curse on her, I'll help her learn how to master it and in return, she helps me by using that power to create a time dimension for me, where the time runs extremely slower."

"I see" Mark nodded and then cast a sidelong glance at his sister. The latter also reacted positively, "I understand." Seeing that, Mark inwardly sighed in relief and spoke, "Anyway, let's get moving."
