Chapter 150: Tavern, Revolver, Story!

~9 min read 1,716 words

Yes!

After thinking, Ta Ke nodded.

Nowadays, Ta Ke is a combination of his own appearance and build with those of the demon hunter Andre.

Plus Andre's sturdy build, plus the demon hunter Andre's habit of growing a beard.

Ta Ke's sideburns and beard now completely lack the youthful look he originally had.

Huh? A La mo er accent? You came from the La mo er High Tower?

As soon as Ta Ke spoke, Carlos grasped the point.

This is also an option Ta Ke deliberately reserved for his identity.

The Andre La mo er from La mo er definitely has a La mo er accent.

"Hmm, I'm in the La mo er Underground District." Ta Ke nodded.

Immediately, Carlos became wary.

Even the necromancer Amati not far away looked over.

Yes, that third-rank necromancer, perpetually shrouded in deathly gray mist, is Amati.

"What's your name?" Carlos asked, eyes narrowing.

You're checking household registration!

Ta Ke took a deep breath and shrugged his shoulders.

He replied in a calm and indifferent tone.

"If you aren't the sheriff or inspector of Sheng lan de, I don't think I need to tell you my name."

"Even if you have a very powerful older sister, it's the same!"

As expected, Ta Ke's words instantly angered Carlos a bit.

Ta Ke knows better than anyone how to anger Carlos.

His gaze instantly turned sharp; Carlos, suppressing his inner fire, already had a hand on the dagger at his waist.

"Impolite mage, do you think your magic is faster or my blade?"

"I guarantee that while you're casting your spell, I can slash through your shield, slap you twice, and when I interrupt your casting, you'll also understand how to speak properly on the La mo er Long Street."

"You can still apologize, bearded mage!"

"Otherwise, you'll be carried out and thrown onto the road later."

At the same time, Amati behind Ta Ke also grabbed necromancy without regard for martial decorum.

At this moment, Ta Ke ignored the situation behind him, a cold expression appearing on his face as he scrutinized Carlos.

"Young man, the times have changed!"

"Compared to your knife, I think my steam revolver is faster! Want to give it a try?"

When Carlos glanced over, his heart suddenly jolted.

All that could be seen, inside Ta Ke's raised mage sleeve,

The icy muzzle, imbued with the 【Execution】 transcendent trait, had already been aimed at Carlos.

This fourth-rank transcendent steam revolver 【Execution】.

It was custom-made for Ta Ke by Bajin Si.

Bajin Si knew Ta Ke possessed extremely strong mage abilities.

Ordinary self-defense-type steam revolver pistols would be useless, completely unable to participate in Ta Ke's level of combat.

Thus Bajin Si purchased large amounts of 【Execution】 trait materials, specially making for Ta Ke a close-range steam revolver capable of reaching the soul, to execute unresisting enemies, a fourth-rank powerful steam revolver.

Close-range aim, one shot enters the soul.

【Execution】, born solely for execution.

"Hey... Carlos, don't chicken out, you're betting his gun has no bullets."

"Anyway, the revolver can't threaten your life; we have a priest here who can bring you back."

"This new mage actually brings a steam revolver; is he lacking confidence in his own magic? Completely corrupted by Sheng lan de's atmosphere."

"Exactly, the transcendent ones here in Sheng lan de all like to carry this kind of steam firearm, a bunch of dishonorable bastards."

"Hey... mage, why isn't your revolver firing? Come on, try a shot!"

At this moment, the transcendent beings not far away, enjoying the spectacle, all started clamoring.

"These bastards!"

Carlos trembled with anger, feeling that the revolver's Execution trait posed a great threat to him.

"If you can put away your revolver, I might be able to buy you a drink!"

Just then, a soft but exceptionally clear voice sounded.

Xi luo er, who had gone to the back to turn in vampire skulls, has already returned.

"Very willing!"

Ta Ke smiled and directly stored the transcendent steam revolver 【Execution】 into his transcendent bracelet.

The minor standoff was lightly dispelled by a single sentence from Xi luo er.

The bartender also timely served Ta Ke another cup of oak stone fruit wine.

The transcendent beings not far away were disappointed at not seeing blood.

They just love to see big scenes of heads splitting and blood flowing.

Watching the mage directly disarm in front of him, Carlos, left hanging, felt as if he'd punched cotton, his already gloomy mood growing even gloomier.

"I don't recall there being anyone like you in La mo er."

Ta Ke was drinking the oak stone fruit wine.

Xiluoer beside him looked over.

I'm just a nameless foot soldier; I can't compare to you brilliant geniuses.

Moreover... all along...

After taking a sip of wine, Taku, feeling somewhat melancholic, began to talk about the past.

I'm an unlucky person.

Back during that great escape, I didn't even have time to reach Holy Orchid Virtue; those damned Dark Day Fiends chased with real ferocity, and my wizard's robe was ripped to shreds.

Fortunately, my physique is strong enough, so my escape speed is fast enough; of course, compared to an assassin, my escape speed is still somewhat slower.

Carlos, who was eavesdropping nearby, couldn't help but startle.

He felt the other party was doing it on purpose, but he had no evidence.

Being relentlessly chased, I had no choice but to be forced to go to Black River Valley.

Black River Valley? Xiluoer paused.

Recently, there's been quite a commotion in Black River Valley.

Yes! Taku let out a long sigh, speaking with a hint of complaint.

Look, my luck is sometimes just this bad.

Going to Black River Valley, I was taken in by a kind shepherd and raised sheep there for half a year.

After finally selling the sheep, I thought I could come to Holy Orchid Virtue to live well, and even hoped to find a local girl from Holy Orchid Virtue to live with.

As a result... right after selling the sheep, I almost died in Black River Valley.

At that time, those terrifying puppet strings almost filled my entire field of vision; I was dragged into the depths of darkness, and death and darkness nearly engulfed me.

I really was just a hair's breadth from death back then.

Then, suddenly, those eerie strings vanished, and light shone, illuminating my path forward.

Oh! Great Three-Eyed God, I was almost moved to tears back then.

A divine sign, that's absolutely a divine sign!

I dragged my exhausted body away from the town at the edge of the valley, fleeing that damned terrifying place.

In the depths of the cave, that flock of sheep huddled together, and I endured those most difficult days.

What happened afterward, you probably know as well.

And I only learned that after spending some time in Black River Valley.

It was the Blasphemer Taku who took down that damned puppeteer—really well done.

Thanks to the great Three-Eyed God, thanks to the Blasphemer Taku.

I managed to save my life.

Taku's face was filled with a smile.

Taku's vivid recounting made many nearby superhumans unable to help but listen closely.

You couldn't possibly have come here to inquire about the Blasphemer Taku, could you?

At this moment, Carlos lowered his voice and asked.

Taku glanced at Carlos and replied irritably.

Although my luck is a bit bad, my mind is quite clear.

Can someone of my power, a superhuman like me, even be qualified to inquire about the Blasphemer Taku?

Can someone like me, a low-tier superhuman, even participate in a war of that level?

My biggest trait is that I have self-awareness.

What I most hope for now is to find a local girl from Holy Orchid Virtue, preferably one who owns a house there.

That way, I wouldn't have to worry about that damned rent.

Taku's righteous-sounding soft-rice talk drew contemptuous glances from many superhumans.

As a second-tier wizard, if one had any ambition...

One wouldn't dare say they made a fortune in Holy Orchid Virtue.

But at least after paying rent and getting drunk at the tavern, there would still be some left in one's pocket.

Unless one had some bad habits.

So... you came to the tavern to look for a girl?

Xiluoer's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

Of course not.

Taku straightened his back.

After arriving in Holy Orchid Virtue, my luck seems to have improved somewhat.

Although I hope to find the girl of my dreams from Holy Orchid Virtue, before that I need to earn more magic gold.

However, the underground is indeed too dangerous, and I also don't want to run into a dead end while fleeing. That damned bad luck could strike at any time.

I heard that there is a Lamor Mutual Aid Society around here.

I hope to obtain from here some framework diagram magic papers concerning the deeper parts of the dungeon.

And also, recently, the location information of werewolves and blood clans in the dungeon.

That way, after entering the underground, I could also be somewhat safer.

Taku's words left Xiluoer momentarily unable to make sense of this strange wizard before her.

You say he's formidable? He actually thinks about sponging off a Holy Orchid Virtue girl.

You say he's just after soft rice? He actually dares to venture deep into the underground to hunt those blood clans.

A strong soft-rice man, quite a strange combination.

Looking at the contemplative Xi Luo Er.

Ta Ke timely spoke: "I know that information is very important, so I can pay demon gold for it."

Of course, I hope you can give me a discount; I don't have much money on me.

They looked up and down at this somewhat burly extraordinary wizard.

Xi Luo Er already stood up and said: "No need, that isn't any important information; I'll give it to you for free."

But there is a condition.

What condition?

You need to hand over the skull of a hunted vampire here.

Of course, this is a kind help, not a compulsory demand.

Because, the vampire heads or werewolf chiefs submitted here, part of the revenue, will be given to La Mo Er Street, which will let us here be better constructed.

"Deal!" Ta Ke nodded decisively.
