Chapter 10, The Gathering of Dark Sorcerers

"The short guns used for self-defense do not have rifling." The manager stated with certainty

"After all, Talen is a small place," Rape shook his head helplessly

"It's nothing, don't get distracted, focus your attention," the bishop said coldly. While he was reprimanding others, in reality, his own attention was not here.

"One month before I arrived, that guy had left Talen for a duration of twenty days," Big Will stated, expressing his reasons for suspicion

Lapei believed he had concealed his age well, yet the bishop had long known that he was definitely no older than eighteen. To have such a brilliant record at such a young age is truly astonishing.

Silva Street is a famous commercial street in Tartu, lined with shops on both sides. There are many people shopping, with pedestrians on either side and a constant flow of vehicles in the middle of the road, causing the carriages to move very slowly

Wishing you good health, Bishop

"I want a short firearm for self-defense, which I will occasionally use for hunting," Rape stated his intention, following the advice given to him by Big Will

"Please follow me." The bishop walked towards the corner, where there was a magic circle. As soon as he stepped onto the magic circle, a flame of magic erupted instantly. The flame quickly engulfed him, and by the time the fire subsided, the bishop had vanished without a trace

Everywhere is shrouded in fog, and one cannot see their own fingers when extending their hand. Coupled with the damp and cold sea breeze blowing directly at one, it creates a very uncomfortable sensation

The person walked up to the coachman, took out a sign, handed it over, and then boarded the carriage

Rape once again reached into the box containing the lead bullets, at which point his expression slightly changed, as he realized that the box was already empty without him noticing.

"Rest assured," Big Will replied淡淡地.

At this moment, Lape entered a dream. Surrounding him was an expansive field, filled with countless targets floating in the air. These targets were all in motion, some moving quickly, others slowly, some rotating, and some disappearing in an instant

At this moment, the presence of this great lord is undoubtedly of a "massacre" level.

As usual, Lape sent out the last letter and then walked to the roadside, where he boarded the carriage that had been prepared for him

Unbeknownst to me, the carriage has come to a stop

At this moment, Lape instantly switched to the persona of a flower prince

"What is wrong with you?" the concerned friend beside asked.

Lape sat down in the empty spot near the door, remaining silent while secretly observing.

Lapei pressed the lucky coin into the palm of his hand and fell asleep immediately

Rape did not respond immediately; instead, he glanced around. The hand that had tightly grasped the wand relaxed, and in that instant, the surrounding air rippled like water.

The bishop led the way in front, while La Pei followed behind, and the two ascended to the third floor

The improvement from the magic source is similarly immediate, though not as pronounced as before; however, it is still significantly stronger than divine grace

That gun is both large and heavy, with a long barrel that is particularly thick, and the wall of the barrel is twice as thick as that of an ordinary short gun. No wonder it is called a heavy short gun

What La Pei refers to is the "coded language" within the circle of black magic. The term "lower class" does not denote commoners or the poor, but rather refers to pickpockets, thieves, con artists, and smugglers

"It is my honor." At the thought of this possibility, the bishop immediately became generous.

"The short guns used for self-defense are all like this; with such a thin barrel, how could it possibly be engraved with a rifled pattern?" said the person who was admiring the long sword, sounding as if he were knowledgeable about the subject.

Suddenly, the bishop thought of another possibility. Perhaps there were no magical items, but rather someone was behind the other party, and that person had cast a protective spell in advance, which rendered his secret spell ineffective

The type of gun that can kill a target four hundred feet away exceeds the range of both bows and crossbows, as well as most forms of magic.

Lape, feeling somewhat dejected, poured more gunpowder into the barrel; he could only rely on extensive practice to improve his accuracy

It seems you have other intentions in mind The bishop appeared much more relaxed

A cab came to a quick stop. A cloaked figure descended from the carriage, the large cloak enveloping him from head to toe. The cloak was attached to a wide-brimmed hat that obscured his face completely, and he also wore a mask over his face.

"Have Hand come over," Rape instructed his subordinate beside him

Lape yawned as he ran towards the old man Fole's house. It was the darkest time of the night, and in a small place like Talen, there were no gas lamps. Fortunately, Lape possessed a certain special sense; he knew where the walls were and where the path lay. With his familiarity with Talen, he could find his destination even with his eyes closed

Upon leaving the home of the old man Fole, Lape waved across to the opposite side.

Lape moved. His hands waved continuously, and two flying knives, four darts, six shurikens, and more than twenty iron nails flew out in an instant. Immediately afterward, he raised his arms; in his left hand was a crossbow, and in his right hand was a firearm

Upon mentioning that assassin, Hand did not dare to speak. In recent days, Lape has been making progress, and Hand has also been improving. This fellow's talent is undoubtedly top-notch; if Lape did not have the lucky coin, he would definitely not be his opponent. However, precisely because of this rapid advancement, Hand increasingly understands the terror of that assassin

Rapeque is an anomaly. His source of magic is that of a werewolf, and he is also a swordsman, which means he requires a considerable amount of sustenance.

What if that guy discovers that we are monitoring him? Hand was worried that things would go wrong

"I didn't expect new brothers to join us. Since it's still early and the others haven't arrived yet, how about we have a chat?" The dark sorcerer made an inviting gesture.

Blood flowed from the wound, dripping into the well, while Lape recited incantations from his mouth

"I am going to rest now." The body of Big Will gradually faded away

The main teacher felt a stir of emotions, yet he also suspected that the other party might be "fishing" for a reaction. The main teacher feared that if he took action, the other party would have a legitimate reason to retaliate, allowing them to eliminate him and seize everything here.

Lape was closest to the door, and he casually opened the car door and got out from above

Everyone who came with Rape looked at him with astonished eyes; they had never seen a bishop so courteous, and thus they all understood what this implied

"May I borrow the manhole here?" Rapei made his request

Isolate this place completely from the outside. Rape walked to the edge of the shadow well, took out a small knife, and gently cut his index finger.

It is dark outside, indicating that one should be indoors

Before the bishop could recover from his shock, the fifth demon lord was summoned.

Meanwhile, a black ring appeared at the first joint of Rape's index finger, and that ring quickly vanished without a trace

"Taking the grassroots route?" The bishop was momentarily taken aback

Rape once conducted a test, finding that the lucky coin could be as far as 50 feet away from him; once it exceeded this distance, the coin would automatically return to him.

Generally, compact handguns designed for self-defense are small in size with short barrels, resulting in a limited range of approximately twenty to thirty meters. The type that La Pei desires is also not large, but features an extended barrel and contains more gunpowder than typical self-defense handguns, allowing for a range of over one hundred meters, surpassing many rifles in distance. However, this type of firearm is only suitable for shooting small birds such as magpies and doves; it lacks sufficient power to deal with larger birds like geese, let alone rabbits and deer. In encounters with wild boars or bears, this firearm is less effective than a stick.

A magician does not easily enter into contracts, for the contracts of a magician possess a terrifying binding force that is difficult to dissolve

Lape gradually realized that the key to playing with firearms is precision, with perhaps a bit of anticipation added.

"Wrap it up for me, I want it." Rape had no interest in visiting other shops; he had already inquired before coming that there was no better weapon store in Talen than this one.

This time I did not hit the bullseye, but at least I hit the target

He simultaneously pulled the trigger; first came the sound of the bowstring, followed by the crossbow bolt shooting out, and only then did the flash of fire appear, with smoke billowing forth. Amidst the roar, the bullet flew out of the gun chamber

The so-called covenant is akin to receiving divine grace within a temple; the difference lies in the fact that receiving divine grace requires payment, whereas forming a covenant with the demon lord does not. However, entering into a covenant with the demon lord necessitates a price, while receiving divine grace does not.

Lape is unsure of which world he belongs to; it seems he has some connection to both sides, yet it also appears that he does not truly belong to either.

"Talon is an emerging city; several hundred years ago, it was merely a desolate fishing village. Even a few decades ago, there were only four districts here," the bishop said淡淡地, his words revealing a hint of information, indicating that he is a native local.

Hidden weapons are the nemesis of unprepared wizards. However, if the opponent is prepared, ordinary hidden weapons are generally ineffective; only firearms can forcibly breach their defenses.

"Very welcome, Talen is a small place, but it is definitely big enough for you and me." The bishop ultimately decided to coexist peacefully with Rape.

After leaving the weapon shop and boarding the carriage, La Pei returned to the abandoned quarry in the northern suburbs half an hour later. Just a day had passed, yet the quarry was no longer as it had been; the piles of rubble had completely vanished, the ground had become very level, and it was covered with a thick layer of sand. The wooden sheds had been preserved, the damaged areas repaired, and reinforced. Surrounding the area, many wooden stakes had been driven in as per his request, with fishing nets hanging from them, and Hand had also strung some iron wire around several times. If a few dogs were to wander around, this place would truly resemble a military restricted zone.

The bullet struck the wizard's chest... Suddenly, a whirlwind of chaos ensued, and Rape leaped out of the dream.

Pull the trigger, aim at the target, and squeeze the trigger

Lape finally felt at ease. He had tested with the old man Fole, and even if the old man cast a spell on him, he would not suffer from magical backlash, even in the event of failure. However, that person who acted in secret would not be so fortunate

After approximately five or six minutes, the sound of a carriage was heard outside again, and then another person boarded the carriage.

Making a pact with the Demon King requires a price. The arrogant Demon King demands something one already possesses, such as health, beauty, energy, or lifespan. The greedy Demon King requires a part of one's soul, the wrathful Demon King demands bloodshed, the gluttonous Demon King seeks indulgence in excess, and the lustful Demon King craves unrestrained desires. The only relatively better ones are the lazy and envious Demon Kings; the former leaves one feeling perpetually sleep-deprived, while the latter simply requires one to scheme against those who are stronger, of higher status, or wealthier.

Bang—Bang—Bang—

"You need to help me with something. Keep an eye on a guy named Anthony Plamio; he is the editor-in-chief of Business Monthly. I want to know his every move, where he goes, and whom he meets. It would be best to assign several people to this task, and there must be someone on duty at night, as this guy is likely to sneak out after dark" said Rape.

To change to another dark sorcerer would undoubtedly be a painful matter

Suddenly, the crossbow bolt was blocked by something.

The type of self-defense handgun that Lape requires is quite special

"In order to gain power, I am willing to sacrifice my descendants," said Lape, expressing a choice he had long contemplated

At this moment, it is too late to do anything. The lead bullets used for the self-defense handgun are specially made and are not interchangeable with ordinary firearm lead bullets. When Lape purchased this gun, the shop also provided a set of molds specifically for casting lead bullets, but there is no time left.

Suddenly, all the targets vanished, and a figure appeared a hundred feet away. This person was dressed in a long robe, holding a wand, embodying the standard attire of a wizard

Rape did not lower his guard due to the bishop's departure; he carefully took the talisman out of his pocket and placed it on the ground.

Rape must go and get a firearm

Among the four individuals, two of them emanate faint magical fluctuations. One person's magical energy is concentrated in their hands, likely indicating the presence of some magical artifact. The other person's magical energy radiates from their body; either their clothing is a magical item, or they have practiced magic. However, the level of magical fluctuations observed is still far from that of a true magician, at most indicating an apprentice.

"We must not be enemies with one another, nor attack each other. When the other party is in difficulty, we must extend a helping hand, provided it does not endanger ourselves. I swear by the name of the Demon King, Hetushu.com.com, and the laws of Ruya." Lape repeated this.

A series of grunting sounds came from upstairs, indicating that the old man was still asleep

In the next second, Lape heard a muffled groan coming from the corner. It was evident that the person who cast the spell had suffered a backlash; the magic had rebounded, and they were certainly not feeling well now

Rapei greeted his subordinate beside him, and soon a stack of pre-cut, oil-soaked deer hides appeared before his eyes

Various concealed weapons continuously appeared in La Pei's hands, including flying knives, darts, and shurikens, as well as the nail projectiles he was accustomed to using. Although their power was not strong, they were easy to master quickly and very effective against ordinary people, making them suitable for chaotic battles without fear of being surrounded.

Although the curtains were nailed shut, making it impossible to see outside, La Pei knew that the carriage was circling around Taren.

This person is holding a lantern in his hand as he walks into the nearby alley

"I didn't expect it to be so fragile." Rape shook his head, and suddenly his expression changed drastically: "Oh no, we still have to go to the dark wizard's gathering later."

Lape's talent was not particularly good; he went so far as to split his personality, traversing the temple and receiving a multitude of blessings, yet he barely managed to reach a passing level. However, at this moment, his talent suddenly improved significantly, reaching a level just above the lower tier.

There is another reason that makes the bishop generous. By utilizing his underworld connections and the pact with the demon lord, he will inevitably leak some secrets, and at the very least, he can ascertain which demon lord Rape has made a pact with, thereby deducing the areas of expertise of the other party

Bishop. "Lape also bowed slightly; he did not intend to appear arrogant. When facing a dark sorcerer, one must remain vigilant. At this moment, he held three iron nails in one hand and gripped his wand in the other.

Even if it is Mane, it is impossible to have a sidearm for self-defense that brings about a double line of defense the manager said with certainty

In front of the quarry, specifically at the base of that cliff, there stands a row of targets. The targets are made of wooden boards, approximately 5 to 6 centimeters thick

This time, Lape did not refute; he thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I will send a few people to keep an eye on that guy"

This is the proof of the establishment of the oath

What troubled Lape was that the shot had completely missed the target. The gun, as he had anticipated, was simply not accurate at all

Lape took a piece of deer hide, wrapped a nail in it, stuffed it into the gun barrel, and then raised the firearm

I have just arrived in Talen and am not familiar with the environment here, so I need a guide. Lapey admitted that he is not familiar with the circle of dark wizards here

It is now impossible; if the bishop takes action, the punishment for violating the oath will lead to his eternal damnation

With a soft bang, a transparent hole suddenly appeared in the center of the target's red bullseye.

"Rest assured," Lape continued to speak in his aged voice, "I will not interfere with your parish."

Everyone, please take your seats; we are about to depart," the coachman suddenly called out

A few feet in front of the magician, countless fine particles floated in the air, all the particles in front of the crossbow bolt coalesced into a mass, forcefully blocking it.

Launch the hidden weapon at the fastest speed. Do not aim, but rely solely on intuition to scatter the weapon. Fire the hidden weapon while running, and simultaneously shoot it during jumps and rolls.

This is no different from receiving divine grace

Hello, Bishop

Rape's gaze suddenly became sharp, as he sensed that someone was casting a spell on him

If you are looking to bring a double-barreled short gun, I have some here as well, but they are all heavy-duty short guns said the manager as he took a short gun off the wall

Divine grace and contracts are not in conflict; the followers of the Goddess of Wisdom can form contracts with the "Pride" Demon King. The followers of the God of War can form contracts with the "Wrath" and "Greed" Demon Kings. As for the followers of the God of Love, there are no restrictions at all, especially with the "Lust" and "Jealousy" Demon Kings, which are simply a perfect match.

The dark sorcerers are referred to as magicians, yet in some aspects, they resemble priests; the only difference being that priests worship deities while they serve demons. The rituals in dark magic are also called masses, but they are black masses. Many dark sorcerers also employ the method of evangelism to entice ordinary people to become followers, who are referred to as sheep, while they take on the role of shepherds

The main difference between a self-defense handgun and a regular handgun is not the size, but the caliber. The caliber of a self-defense handgun is generally below 5 millimeters, comparable in size to a mung bean, and sometimes even as small as 3 millimeters, which is about the size of a green bean. In contrast, the caliber of a regular handgun is typically above 10 millimeters, similar in size to a grape

In one breath, he fired over twenty shots. La Pei walked up to the target with the gun in hand. The target was dotted with bullet holes, each hole small yet penetrating. This was far more impressive than simply giving a bullet.

Place the breakfast on the table in the living room, La Pei shouted upstairs: "Breakfast is ready for you, don't forget to drink all the milk, it's good for your health"

Perhaps this thing can be used as a bullet, provided that the sealing issue is resolved

The store that Lape is going to is the most famous weapon shop in Talen

Lape is certain that the other side of the door is not far from here, possibly just downstairs or next door

The alley is deep and winding, with numerous branching paths. The person walked for over a quarter of an hour before emerging from the other end. At the mouth of the alley, a carriage is parked, its windows covered by thick curtains, making it impossible to see inside.

This is the manhole, a passage that is said to connect to hell

Advanced Isolation Barrier? That dark sorcerer has some discernment, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

There are people inside the car, with four individuals already seated on both sides, leaving two vacant seats.

In a dark room on the upper floor, chilling music echoed throughout the space, while the surrounding candlelight was eerie and dim. A black mass was being held. Suddenly, the bishop presiding over the black mass let out a cold snort

Finally, there is the bullet, which completely disregards the raging wind

A rifle with a rifled barrel requires deer hide soaked in oil; the lead bullets must be wrapped in deer hide before being inserted into the chamber to ensure accuracy. Fortunately, Hand has just such deer hide on hand.

The reason for choosing this demon king is that the cost is minimal; one can simply indulge in gluttony to please this demon king

Upon thinking of this, the bishop felt a chill run through his entire body. If such a person truly existed, their power would undoubtedly far surpass his own, and they could very well be a great sorcerer, specifically a great sorcerer among dark magicians

I understand, I will follow your instructions immediately. During these days, Hand has been practicing shooting and feels somewhat uncomfortable; the gun is too heavy and the recoil is too strong

As soon as Lape finished his prayer, he immediately felt an unbearable hunger, and the pact with the devil indeed had an immediate effect

The handguns used for self-defense produce very quiet sounds, lacking that deafening sensation, and have minimal recoil; naturally, this corresponds to a lower level of power.

It is best for us to be open and honest; with your strength, why would you come here? The bishop was no longer as courteous as he had been earlier

One target after another was shattered; no matter how fast those targets moved, they could not outpace the bullet

Why not simply capture this fellow and subject him to severe interrogation? Wouldn't that be better? We should be able to extract some information from him.

The use of a firearm is indeed quite exhilarating; it requires no arm strength, no wrist strength, and no skill, only the pull of the trigger

This characteristic, which La Pe hated so much, has now become quite convenient and valuable. If he could borrow a house, all he would need to do is pass by Martin's house every evening and throw gold coins onto the roof, allowing him to hide inside and sleep soundly.

"Borrowing a shadow well? You haven't made a pact with the Demon King yet?" The bishop was taken aback, as this implied that the other party was not even a magician.

However, this coachman does not care, and he is clearly not an ordinary person

In dreams, the firearm does not require loading; one only needs to pull the hammer and squeeze the trigger

In the circle of dark sorcerers, respect is reserved for the strong

Lape inserted the nail into the barrel of the gun, and the tail end of the nail fit perfectly inside.

For Rape, who is only fifteen years old, such experiences are certainly absent. When he was born, Tartu was already quite prosperous, and he has not witnessed the period of greatest change in Tartu.

Lape stood up from the sofa, his mind still occupied with the scene from just now

Lapei looked at the muzzle and simply could not believe such a statement: "This is impossible; there is no rifling inside the barrel."

It is known that the old man is an alchemist and is not skilled in combat. On the other hand, that person is most likely a dark magician, who is renowned for their combat prowess. This indicates that the individual in question has a low level and lacks strength

Lape fell into deep thought. This cannot be overlooked; after all, that group of pickpockets had never engaged in surveillance work. Previously, he had instructed a young pickpocket to monitor Detective Ma Wen's house, and that fellow had brazenly stood in the middle of the street. He later scolded him, which prompted the pickpocket to find a small alley to hide in.

Hande was also practicing shooting. Upon hearing the boss's call, he immediately ran over

"Go to 127 Silva Street," said Lape to the coachman

Well, even if that is the reason, it may not necessarily be that guy who is responsible for the Binny faction wanting to eliminate you; there are several other suspects within the Binny faction as well. Rape did not want to dwell too much on this topic

Lapei woke up. He turned his head to look outside the window, and indeed, the sky was already beginning to brighten.

The bishop sensed that the fourth demon lord had been summoned, and this time it was the Wrath Demon Lord. Among all the demon lords, "Wrath" is the most unique; to summon it, the summoner must have killed someone. The degree of killing varies, and so does the magnitude of its appearance.

The carriage began to move, gaining speed increasingly

After more than an hour, the carriage gradually slowed down. After a moment, the driver said, "You may disembark."

In the bishop's view, this is simply courting death

The sun has already set, yet the moon has not risen. Today is a moonless night, and the passing carriages can only rely on the faint light provided by the lanterns hanging at the front of the carriages.

As soon as the words were spoken, the bishop's expression changed dramatically; had it not been for the mask covering his face, those below would certainly have noticed his unusual demeanor

Relatively speaking, the use of firearms is not as varied, after all, this invention has not been around for long, and loading it is cumbersome, making it difficult to employ any tricks; the only advantage is its great power

This is what Lape learned from Big Will; Big Will is not a dark sorcerer, but his understanding of dark sorcery surpasses that of Fole.

The other two individuals do not possess magical fluctuations, but one of them has a prolonged breath, indicating that he is certainly not an ordinary person

Unlike before, this time there are more and more holes on the target

In an instant, La Pei switched to his killer persona; just now, he had been using his actor persona.

Upon hearing such words, the bishop was very pleased. He smiled and said, "Feel free to do as you wish; I shall not disturb you."

Lape glanced at the sky, turned around, and headed towards the carriage. He needed to prepare dinner for the old man Fole. By the way, he would ask the old man for a few bottles of potions, as dealing with dark wizards required utmost caution.

"So accurate?" Rapei was somewhat astonished

Lapei quickly ran into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the old man Fole, and he also took the opportunity to fill his own stomach

"You should find craftsmen who can make guns and have them forge a batch of short firearms for self-defense, just like this one. The bullets will be the custom type you ordered," Lape instructed. "From now on, this will be our standard weapon."

In this way, there will be two dark sorcerers in this city in the future. I am taking the low-level route and will not come into contact with the middle or upper echelons; of course, it is inevitable to control a few useful pawns. Lapey also revealed the territory he had delineated.

Rapei was startled, but he quickly realized that this must be some kind of magical portal

The gunfire continued incessantly, and occasionally there would be an additional hole in the target. However, there were still results. At least the intervals became shorter and shorter, changing from one shot per minute to two shots per minute, and finally to three shots per minute

There should be many people more suspicious than him; he is merely the editor-in-chief of a magazine. What grievances do you have with him?" Rape was not intentionally trying to confront Big Will; he simply disliked such baseless speculation

"You don't mean to say that you are the only dark sorcerer here, do you?" Rape appeared very surprised and puzzled.

The bishop no longer dared to entertain any thoughts, whether it be a madman or the dark son, neither of whom he could provoke.

Standing at the entrance of the shop, one can see two exquisite suits of armor displayed in the window, along with several gleaming long swords. Upon entering, however, the interior appears somewhat dim and cramped compared to the window display. The walls are adorned with a variety of weapons, ranging from daggers to firearms, and unlike other shops, there are no counters here, only a row of sofas. At this moment, three individuals are seated on the sofas; one is admiring a long sword, while the other two are continuously offering comments, appearing quite knowledgeable. The walls are adorned with a variety of weapons, ranging from daggers to firearms, and unlike other shops, there are no counters here, only a row of sofas. At this moment, three individuals are seated on the sofas; one is admiring a long sword, while the other two are continuously offering comments, appearing quite knowledgeable. A manager, dressed in a formal manner, stands nearby with a beaming smile.

Rapeton became cheerful at that moment, and without hesitation, he transformed into a swordsman persona, slicing through another finger. This time, he chose the "Gluttony" Demon King.

The gunfire rang out once again

As time has passed, Lape and the old man have become quite familiar with each other, thus no longer maintaining the same level of formality as before. At the same time, he is no longer as utilitarian towards the old man as he once was

Having understood these matters, Lape no longer felt afraid; he too stood up.

To make contracts with so many demon lords, one is either a madman or a child of darkness. Given the current circumstances, the latter possibility seems more likely

No problem. Rapei extended his right hand

Rape rehearsed over and over again, all of this quickly became his instinct

This won't do; that guy is not from the Wilson family. He is an operative of the Benny faction and has quite a background. Moreover, if the assassin was indeed hired by him, provoking this guy might lead the assassin to come after us. " Lape glanced at Hand.

However, this may not necessarily be the fault of that manager; as a close advisor to the king, Big Will's perspective is certainly different from others

It is unclear when the object in Lapei's hand transformed into a firearm, which turned out to be two short guns

Although there is already a suspect, Lape is not certain that Anthony Pramio is involved in the assassination case, so he still needs Detective Marvin as a source of information

The caliber determines the amount of gunpowder loaded, which is five to six times that of the former. Therefore, the issue of misfire for the former is not significant; at most, it results in several holes in the body, and one might only lie in bed for a few months. However, a misfire in the latter is terrifying, resulting in either death or severe injury

Before coming here, the old man Fole cast a protective spell on Lape. If anyone were to cast a spell on him, he would immediately sense it. Just now, he felt a light tap on his head, which should be some form of mental magic, possibly an intrusion of consciousness or a charm of confusion

On nights without the moon, ordinary coachmen generally do not dare to drive their carriages too fast, as this can easily lead to accidents

The shop windows on both sides are filled with a dazzling array of goods, and the pedestrians on the street are mostly well-dressed and exude an air of elegance. All of this originally had nothing to do with La Pei; although they are in the same city, they belong to two different worlds.

This is merely a façade. Lapey sighed, realizing that hitting a target a hundred feet away was utterly impossible without a proper rifle.

A flash of fire, and the gun let out a soft bang.

Among these, the contracts of the dark sorcerers are the most severe, as their agreements are witnessed by demons

The dark sorcerers may all be evil, but that does not mean that each one is a murderer. The bishop has killed, he has slain his rivals and eliminated those who obstructed him, yet he only dares to commit murder; he would never dare to engage in slaughter.

"The supreme sovereign, the demon king representing 'pride', I fervently long for your arrival here. I am your devotee, my heart is filled with reverence for you and worship of your power. I beseech you to grant me your blessings." Rape prayed aloud

Anthony Plamio is the editor-in-chief of Business Monthly, and among the several newspapers and magazines I am currently overseeing is Business Monthly. Moreover, that guy is a member of the Benny faction, which is currently causing trouble everywhere.

A ripple suddenly spread across the rune stone, enveloping the entire secret chamber.

Rapei is currently studying the advanced application of hidden weapons

The flying daggers whirled around, dancing wildly in the turbulent winds surrounding the magician's body

Lape then said: "Please help me find a house near Detective Ma Wen's home, it shouldn't be too far, preferably within thirty feet."

Suddenly, Lape was taken aback, as he realized that this nail seemed to be about the same thickness as the gun barrel

"This gun is very accurate even at a distance of 100 meters, capable of hitting an apple on a tree with precision," boasted the manager

As soon as the words were spoken, Lape felt a change within his body; the source of magic seemed to become more active and even more powerful

As a postman, Rape has the entire map of Talen in his mind. Even without using his eyes, relying solely on the inclines, declines, turns, and the sounds coming from outside, he can mentally outline a route.

The bodies of most wizards are generally weak, and dark wizards are even more so. They frequently deal with negative energy and come into contact with things like zombies, evil spirits, deadly poisons, and curses, resulting in a physical condition that is worse than that of ordinary wizards. Naturally, their appetite cannot be very good

Following closely behind the flying knife was a bolt launched by a crossbow, which traveled at a speed surpassing that of a dart, shuriken, and iron nail. A gust of wind caused the bolt to sway slightly, deviating from its original path; however, the bolt's power was great, and it continued to fly forward with determination

Once again, a magical fire surged up from beneath the bishop's feet, and he vanished

It is important to note that all the previous owners of the lucky coins are remarkable individuals, and the manholes they used are of the highest quality

Are you still satisfied? the bishop asked proudly

Hand immediately walked over from the opposite side, as was mentioned by La Pei yesterday

Lape leaned against the window, gazing at the scenery outside

Practicing magic requires money, a substantial amount of money. Whether one becomes a "shepherd" or takes the lower path, the goal is always money. The former involves deception for profit, while the latter entails plundering. The former has a good reputation and connections, while the latter possesses strength and quick financial returns, but it is also dangerous and can easily lead to being eliminated by others

The bishop was terrified; this time he was truly afraid

The old man Foller once said that long-distance teleportation is a major topic in the magical realm, with the farthest record being only 5.7 kilometers. He himself has conducted experiments similar to m.hetushu.com, achieving his best result of 1.6 kilometers

The classification of firearms is somewhat unique; it should be considered akin to bows and crossbows. However, the range of a short gun is only about thirty to fifty feet, which is not much different from that of concealed weapons

An adventure like yesterday is enough just once. The best approach is to throw the lucky coin onto the roof of Detective Marvin's house and let Beagle Will keep an eye on it himself

Thus, Lape reloaded and fired another shot

Rape finally arrived at Old Man Foller’s house. He used the key to open the door and then ran into the living room, lying down on a sofa. He turned to Big Will and said, "Don’t forget to wake me up at 4 o'clock sharp."

I happen to have a gun here that suits your needs. The manager walked over to a small window nearby and said something to the inside. Soon, a hand emerged from the window, holding a gun.

You should recruit people just as you did when you first approached me. Look for some informants around Anthony Palamio; I am sure "Business Monthly" also employs child labor, so you can find some there. Additionally, look for a few informants near this guy's house, and check if there are any rental properties nearby. Rent one out and let our people move in.

Although the chamber was isolated by Lape, the bishop had no idea what was happening inside. However, through his sensitivity to the abyss, he knew that at least three demon lords had already been summoned

"Stop the car." An aged voice echoed in the night.

Lape does not wish to say much; he is already aware that this manager has limited insight

"Perfectly flawless," Lapezan remarked. This was not a compliment; he had seen a few deep wells in the memory of the lucky coins, only one of which was stronger than this, while the others were of the same level.

Reloading the gunpowder, Lape raised his gun and fired again. When the smoke cleared, the target remained unchanged, not even a dent on it

If that guy Beagle Will needs to have Rape verify every guess, then he wouldn't have time to do anything else

The bishop now regrets; had it not been for that oath just now, he would have acted immediately. Not a magician, yet capable of rendering his secret spell ineffective and causing him a considerable loss, indicates that the opponent possesses a very powerful magical item, possibly even a divine artifact

What frustrates Lape is that to truly excel at using a firearm, one must use a long gun, and it must be a long gun equipped with a double line.

Great!" La Pei exclaimed.

Every dark sorcerer has their own territory, commonly referred to as a grazing area

The individuals disembarking from the carriage each bowed in greeting to the person standing in the corner

We must not be enemies to one another, nor attack each other. When the other party is in difficulty, we must extend a helping hand, provided it does not endanger ourselves. I swear this in the name of the Demon King Falruya. " The bishop, the dark sorcerer, spoke first.

The same magical fire surged up from beneath Lape's feet. When the magical fire disappeared, he found himself in a secret chamber. In the center of the chamber stood a well, its opening small, only the size of a bowl, yet it was bottomless, occasionally releasing black mist from within.

Bang—bang—bang—

Darts, shurikens, and iron nails were all swept into the raging wind, and like throwing knives, they were blown off course

Lapei walked up to a target, stopping at a distance of 100 meters. He took out his gun, aimed at the target, cocked the hammer, and then pulled the trigger

As soon as he got into the car, Lape took off his postman's uniform and changed into a very nice outfit

It was a very exquisite gun. For a short firearm, its barrel was indeed quite long, measuring almost 30 centimeters. Like all self-defense firearms, it was crafted to be compact, featuring a slender barrel and a small, curved grip. The grip was made of wood, but it was inlaid with ivory reliefs on both sides, and the body of the gun was adorned with intricate patterns. Rather than being merely a weapon, this object could be considered a work of art. Like all self-defense firearms, it was crafted to be compact, featuring a slender barrel and a small, curved grip.

"That sounds excellent. How about we sign a contract to assist each other and refrain from infringing upon one another?" The bishop quickly said, as he was concerned that La Peir might go back on his word

"That Anthony Plamio is very suspicious," Big Will said as he floated by

This method is good. Hand was overjoyed; if this is done, his pressure will be much lighter. At work, there are people watching, and after returning home, there are also people watching. As for being followed on the road, that is their specialty, so he is not worried at all that his subordinates will be discovered.

Lape could only shake his head; he did not know whether it was this manager who was deceiving him or if the other party was simply lacking in insight

The bishop also extended his right hand, and the two hands clasped briefly, instantly generating a black arc of electricity that flickered between them

This also indicates that the Lape people are isolated in their strength. If the bishop were a bit bolder, or had some backing, he should take some action

This is certainly not due to La Pei's poor marksmanship. He possesses lucky coins, and hidden weapons are the easiest to master quickly, while using a gun only requires hand-eye coordination, making it easier to learn than most hidden weapons. If he were to use a rifle, I wouldn't dare to say he would hit every shot, but he could at least achieve a success rate of nine out of ten.

Big Will no longer speaks, as he has obtained what he needs

According to the old man Foller, this is a form of self-hypnosis, so the more emotionally invested one is, the better the effect.

The manager saw La Pei enter and quickly apologized to the person holding the long sword, then walked over and asked, "What do you need?"

Similar to the old man at Fole, the third floor is a laboratory. However, the space here is much larger; the room is over ten meters long. One side of the wall features a massive wooden rack filled with glass jars, each containing peculiar animal specimens immersed in a pale yellow liquid

The black arc emitted a soft crackling sound, transforming into a spark of electricity before vanishing from sight

Each pit of the underworld is a product that is both semi-artificial and semi-natural. The bishop was able to become a dark sorcerer because he inadvertently discovered this place and then spent five years excavating such a pit.

It seems that I can only rely on this thing. La Pei took out a nail; as long as the opponent is unprepared, this item can be quite effective

The powder once again coalesced into a mass, blocking the path of the bullet; however, this time it was ineffective, and the bullet continued to fly forward, growing larger and larger.
