I Transmigrated To A Mafia Character From A BL Dark ! - Chapter 161
On the other hand, Louis was looking at the items he had bought for Emery, some magic wands made of alloy steel, oak, and cherry wands from abroad.
Some mahogany staffs with lion heads that he thought were very tasteful and pertinent to someone in the Darcy family. Others with an imposing eagle’s head with red jewels encrusted in the eyes, another with a cobra’s head carved from a black wood called ironwood, with emerald-encrusted eyes glowing eerily for those who dare to watch long.
Louis picked up other items like a translucent crystal ball, then touched a delicate white silk glove that looked like just an expensive glove, but there was a rune embroidered in gold and silver thread, which served to lessen the expense of MANA when using spells stronger.
“Teacher, what kind of weapon is this?” Theo asked Louis picking up a silver pistol with runes in black and a very light designer, which was odd for the guns he had seen in the capital people carrying in holsters.
In the capital of the Kingdom of Dawn using a weapon was not uncommon, much better than using magic directly, the church encourages more the use of weapons.
Theo had seen many sizes of weapons and some strange types when he went out with Louis to buy Emery’s items, but this particular weapon looked very different from the ones he had seen before.
Clearly, Louis asked Theo to change the way he was called, Master is good, but it would be awkward when they went to the mansion as there would be more Masters to address.
“An RT 96, with a handle of soft leather, components of refined metal and with runes in detail made with an ink made of Blood Spider of Perfume, using a little MANA generates a sharp bullet and if it has an affinity for fire it can become an explosive bullet”
Louis began to speak passionately about the weapon, stroking it gently as if it were a lover’s skin.
Theo: (…)
“Has he started talking about guns again?” Lee Ming asked upon entering and seeing Louis very excited.
Animated Louis wasn’t such a common sight, at least with no blood in sight or people suffering.
“Yes, a new weapon it seems,” Theo said helplessly, Lee Ming smiled at him and handed him a paper bag that was filled with tasty soft chocolate muffins that had cream and cherries that helped to strengthen the constitution.
Lee Ming thought Theo was too skinny, so he was always bringing sweets and snacks that could help supplement the vitamins that the young man’s body lacked from a poor start in life.
“Theo is not a child anymore,” Louis said when he came to, putting the gun aside.
“Of course he is a child. He’s still so short,” Lee Ming commented, giving Louis a soft kiss on the cheek.
Theo: Hey, I’m still here!
Austen knocked on the door lightly, which Theo relieved as Louis and Lee Ming were flirting right in front of him.
“What there was?” Lee Ming said without opening the door, still clinging to Louis’ arm.
“Lady Pagano has arrived to speak with Master Louis”
“Ah, the leader of the assassin guild” Lee Ming commented dispassionately.
In the end, Louis and Lee Meiying went to meet Martina Pagano, Lee Ming and Theo went to town in the early morning to buy fresh items and resell the jewelry that arrived from the Eastern Continent.
Yes, that hotel was a mana gem that was sold to the underworld market.
What yielded high profits that were passed on in disguise to other legal industries of the Darcy Family.
These MANA Gems were used in the defense industry of the Kingdom of Dawn, so whoever wanted to obtain these MANA Gems to use on shields, weapons, and walls of the properties of nobles and merchants, they have to buy them at a high price and in controlled quantity.
For obvious reasons to keep them under control of the crown.
At least quality jewelry that can last up to six months in consecutive use.
The black market always had prices much more affordable than the price Dawn’s kingdom sold.
Of course, this was a crime with the death penalty.
Louis sending Theo with Lee Ming shows how much the butler is willing to work hard to make Theo the high-ranking butler.
Despite all the danger of the activity, it took only ten minutes for the jewelry to be transferred and the money received. Theo looked at everything with big round eyes, the hood partially covering his face, but that was common in the early morning because of the autumn cold snap at that moment.
The apples were easily exchanged, Theo sweated a little as he saw the guards from the capital approach, but nothing happened and the guards just stopped to pick up an apple that was offered by the merchant.
Lee Ming chuckled seeing Theo sigh in relief at the sack of bright red raspberries.
“A simple illusion spell helps a lot,” Lee Ming said smiling at Theo as they entered the Hotel. The spell broke and revealed the various gold coins inside the leather bag.
“Master, we have more visitors. Honorable people from the Archduchy of Leon have arrived,” Austen warned as she saw Lee Ming and Theo walking along to the hotel’s office.
“Are they in the meeting room? Austen, take the money to the safe and call the manager of the Giuseppe Porcelain Store, make the appointment for after lunch” Lee Ming instructed, later he and Austen would have to transfer the money to the hand of the manager who would pass it on to supply the Northern Tribe.
The orders were very specific from the Archduke of Leon, he wants to cause chaos in the Kingdom of Dawn, Lee Ming suspected that there was some ore or something that the Duke wanted to obtain and needed the kingdom to be in disorder for him to obtain.
Or could it be a mission from the Aurore Empire, was the Emperor looking to expand the empire?
Was an Era of War going to start soon?
“Come on Theo,” Lee Ming said as he handed the leather bag with the money to Austen.
Theo smiled at Austen, who greeted him seriously, before following Lee Ming.
Ah, he was nervous to think that he would meet people of such high rank.
In the small town of Salvare, a normally peaceful small town that lay south of Matteo Abbey, near the Holy Mountains. It was a city thriving with religious tourism to go to the Holy Mountains to a small temple that the Church of the God of Light erected not too high but difficult enough to look like a pilgrimage to the church’s faithful.
Luca had met Bellini on the way to go to Laison town, but his group decided it would be better to go to Salvare town because meeting such a sacred group of priests and knights should be a divine sign.
Well, Luca didn’t quite understand the thinking of their older mates in the group, as he lived in town for most of his life until his parents died of a contagious disease in the dark house where they lived.
Luca went to live with his grandparents in a village, along with younger brothers and cousins, who had lost their parents in the pandemic.
Life had become difficult for them, with so many mouths to feed, but they were happy for the fertility of the land and for Baron Silva to be a benevolent nobleman.
The village was developing well, it already had a few shops such as butchers, herbs and a fishmonger was being installed in the village, this greatly improves the life of the herb pickers who risked a lot looking for herbs and selling them in the city and the hunters who wanted to do so extra cash.
Copper coins would no longer be so rare, as an administration from Baron Silvo would be placed in the village that would provide coins and the crops could be delivered there rather than just leaving it in the village store waiting for the Baron’s guards and inspectors to come to pick up.
It would be much more organized, moreover, the administration could order things that were missing and be paid in copper coins such as bandages, clothes, and wooden items like chairs, tables, among other items of daily use.
Luca could see that the village would undergo a very positive change, their lives were improving, he would go out hunting at night hidden from others since strangely he could see well at night.
His strength at night was also greater than normal, he could bring down a young boar with just a piece of wood.
This caused some jealousy in the hunters, but as Luca’s family shared the game with the village, no one dared complain about Luca’s strange attitude.
Because Luca only had his grandparents as adults who were already very old and his younger siblings were under 16 years old still considered too young to go on a tour of the city to sell the grains and fruits that belonged to the village after paying taxes and the winter store being at least secure, the family could only send Luca for that.
