Chapter 221: Chapter 175 Unexpected Encounter_1
Having no patience for such a suicidal character, Duanmu Huai simply reached into his coat and drew a hand cannon, pointed straight at the High Elf before him. The High Elf, seeing the gun pointed at him, could only stare curiously into the dark barrel.
The next moment…
“Bang!!!”
With a loud roar, the head of the High Elf shattered, and it staggered for a moment before copsing to the ground.
“Nobody disrespects the Tribunal.”
Looking at the High Elf corpse on the ground, Duanmu Huai snorted. Despite his mediocre shooting skills, that only applies at long-range. Should he miss at this distance, it would be an alien technology at work.
He turned his head, looking towards the current Chief Mage, offering the hand cannon. Overwhelmed by the gesture, the old mage hesitated, looking disoriented.
“May I ask, what is this…?”
“Consider it a thank you gift.”<div>
What Duanmu Huai gave to the old mage was a hand cannon known as the Midnight Coup, a crown jewel of the Guardian civilization. The hand cannon’s white body, gold magazine, and ck grip were extraordinarily distinctive and exuded a holy aura.
“Ah, thank you very much…”
The old mage quickly extended his hand, receiving the hand cannon from Duanmu Huai with a puzzled look. As Duanmu Huai abruptly turned around and left under the watchful eyes of the other mages, he returned to the Night Raven ck Star, rapidly lifting off, leaving this contentious ce.
As for how the fool of a High Elf would be dealt withter, it was no longer Duanmu Huai’s problem.@@novelbin@@
[Ah, sir knight, you’re too stingy, only giving them a hand cannon?]
Soon, Duanmu Huai received Ann’s mental induction again. Even though the mages of the Mage’s College didn’t know what it was, Ann was quite familiar with the weapons of the Guardian civilization as she had apanied Duanmu Huai through the war against Cabal.
Trading the Eye of Magnus with a hand cannon… In Ann’s view, it was akin to exchanging an apple for a castle.
“For them, researching this thing is just perfect.”
Duanmu Huai didn’t lie about it.
If the Mage’s College manages to decipher the material, structure, and principle of the hand cannon, it could at least raise thebat power on this continent a notch.
Well, just a notch.
Given that Duanmu Huai’s base is in Manaria, he certainly wouldn’t want to enhance thebat power of potentialpetitors, right?
And he didn’t have to worry about the upgrade in Manaria’s civilization level. During the upgrade quest for her hidden profession, Ann had already scavenged almost an entire set of STEM works and research books from the Human Star’s library. Now, these books had been shipped to the Manaria Great Library, jointly studied and interpreted by schrs from the Holy City and the Kingdom of Manaria.
Simply giving a hand cannon to the Mage’s College seemed more like showing them aplete building and having them figure out how to replicate it.
How well theyprehend is entirely up to their own fate.
This was why Ann thought Duanmu Huai was stingy.
“So, Sir Knight, where are we going next?”
Cradling Bambi in her arms, Greiya asked. Duanmu Huai began to contemte.
“Hmm… for now, we don’t have anything urgent, so… ”
“Beep, beep, beep–!!!”
But before Duanmu Huai could finish, a series of urgent rms resounded. Almost at the same time, Duanmu Huai reflexively grabbed the joystick, pushing it down hard. The normally smooth-flying Night Raven ck Star abruptly rolled to the side, avoiding a massive fireball descending from the sky.
“Boom–!!!”
The dazzling light was almost like a second sun appearing in the sky, and the ensuing shockwave made the Night Raven ck Star stagger like a ship in a violent storm.
“Ya–!!!”
Feeling the violent shaking of the airship, both Greiya and Bambi screamed out. All the while, Duanmu Huai gripped the joystick, staring ahead–only to see a vast ck dragon pping its wings and blocking his way in the sky ahead.
