THE EMPEROR OF TWO WORLDS

Weapon and armor upgrade features

"Brad!! is it true that this weapon can be used by ordinary people!?" marcus asked Brad with a hopeful face.

"of course, second prince! At first I was confused as to why the third prince suggested using the fire powder that is usually used to light a fire in the kitchen. But after the first trial, I finally understood that fire powder was the material I had been looking for all this time!" brad replied to Marcus while telling him about the material he had been looking for all along.

Afterwards, Brad tells him how the gun works. Marcus who was still enthusiastic about the new type of weapon listened seriously. While the two of them were talking, Jani picked up the Double Blast and examined it closely.

Double Blast consists of three colors, namely the black base color with a little red line and the core of the Monster is blue light. While he was watching his weapon system notification popped up all of a sudden.

After reading the system notification, Jani said to Brad who was still talking to his brother "Brad, how much should I pay for this weapon?"

Brad, who heard Jani's words, turned his gaze to Jani and looked at her seriously and then replied "it's free."

"huh!? What do you mean free?"

"i can give you a gun for free, but can I ask you something else?"

"if it's still within my means, I'm willing to do it."

"calm down the third prince. What I want is permission to continue researching this weapon of your creation."

Upon hearing Brad's wish, Jani paused for a moment and then said while shaking his head "sorry, if you want to continue his research here I will reject it, but I can allow it on one condition."

"WHAT IS IT!!" Brad replied excitedly.

"you'll have to research it in the northeastern border town so as not to be too conspicuous and not to harm the surrounding population because of the explosion you made."

"but, if I move to another city. Who's gonna run my shop?"

"you have two choices. First, you can divide your students into two groups to continue your business and also your research simultaneously. Second, you can close your shop and work as my blacksmith in the border town while continuing his research along with all your students."

Brad was silent to choose the choice given by Jani. After thinking for quite a while, Brad decided to take the second option because he wanted his student to also learn more together with him about this weapon.

"alright, I'll choose to come with you, but let me ask you one more thing. If your weapon is further developed, is it capable of killing ancient dragons?"

"hmm, if to injure an ancient dragon might be possible, but if to kill it I doubt this weapon alone is not enough." Jani answered doubtfully.

After hearing Jani's reply, Brad let out a long sigh and said "haa, although now you're not giving me a definite answer, but because I've decided to come with you. I can only wait in the future until you can make a weapon capable of killing ancient dragons."

"hahaha, may you wait for that day to come." Jani replied with a laugh and Brad laughed as well.

After that, they discussed the mass production of the rifle and its bullets.

Marcus simply kept silent and watched the discussion of the two of them while smiling warmly at his excited sister discussing with Brad.

After Jani talks with Brad, he comes out with Marcus and breaks up with him because Jani wants to go to jail to see the group that attacked him the day after.

After arriving at the prison, Jani entered and was accompanied by the warden to see them all. The killers are split into two cells of seven and three, and Jani enters a cell of seven men trying to kill him as Jani travels around town with Veronica.

When Jani came in, he was greeted with a look of hatred from the seven people. Jani who received the gaze immediately sat on the prison floor while holding the jailer who tried to give him a chair and began to say to the seven of them.

"i'm not going to introduce myself because you know who I am, right?"

After seeing on the back of the person's hand the mark he was looking for, Jani directly pressed his bloody finger and said a holy mantra "With witnesses of the gods and Goddesses, he said, I am the third prince of the kingdom of Westeria Alex Van Lester, hereby transferring this slave contract from the previous owner, Dom Blackwolf."

Instantly, the back of the person's hand glows white, which indicates the ritual of transferring the slave contract has been successfully carried out. After the ritual was successful, Jani said to the person "now you can answer my question right?"

For the first time the man nodded his head and said "I will answer all your questions, sir."

"well, first question, where did you come from?"

"we're all from a remote village in the North area of the city."

"what was your village's skill and why did you end up being slaves of General Dom?"

"our village is famous because of the love of its citizens in sculpting and making carvings and sculptures and carvings have been famous outside this kingdom so we have many orders to make sculptures." As this person explained about their former village, he showed a happy and proud expression.

Then the person continued "among those many orders, we also often refused requests from the nobles and among them was the Blackwolf family. On several occasions we also received orders from the devotees of the element of darkness that forced us to make a statue of their god. The Blackwolf family who were angry at our refusal took advantage of this and reported it to the church to destroy our village on the grounds that we were devotees of the dark element as well."

After hearing part of the story, Jani stopped her and said "i'm now starting to understand everything. And now I want to ask you as the representative of all the people who are here, do you want to be free from this status of slavery?"

Without needing to look at his friends, he immediately replied "of course we want to be free!, but if we are free now, all our brothers who are still in custody will be immediately killed by the Blackwolf family."

"you don't have to worry too much because ever since you were arrested, he must have thought you were dead. After all in this kingdom, only I can remove the slave seal without anyone else knowing."

After being convinced, he agrees and Jani begins to perform a ritual of liberation. As the seal mark disappeared, the seven people inside the cell started crying in gratitude while hugging each other.

After expressing their happiness for being free, everyone knelt down in front of Jani to thank them. Led by the person who spoke to Jani earlier, he said "third prince, thank you for freeing us from the suffering of the Blackwolf family. If the prince succeeds in freeing all our brothers, then we will all swear allegiance to you to serve our entire lives."

"we'll talk about that later, when all your brothers reunite. For now you use my slave necklace to deceive the Blackwolf family." Jani replied while giving some slave necklaces that had no magic in them.

After giving the necklace, Jani stood up and said "alright, for now you rest first. I forgot to ask you what your name is, old man?"

The person who spoke earlier with Jani replied "my name is Gandora Kalisia, I used to be the village chief as well as the person responsible for the current state of my village."

"village chief, we've all never blamed you at all."

"right, it's our choice to reject the order."

"we are all responsible for our current situation."

There were some people behind Gandora to encourage him.

"You.." said Gandora who was touched by their actions.

Jani who saw the incident smiled and said "well, I'll go free the three people who are in the cell next to you and after that I'll get the hell out of here."

"yes, thank you, sir."

"call me third prince for now, for you are not yet officially my followers."

"yes, we understand, third prince."

After bidding Gandora farewell, Jani went to the next cell and freed the remaining three and said "go to your village chief to hear his explanation of what happened."

The three of them went straight to Gandora's place. Jani also immediately went accompanied by the head of the prison warden. After they got to the door, Jani took out a bag of gold and said "treat them well and also use some of that money to buy food for them."

"ready! third prince." The warden answered and after the third prince had left he saw the contents of the pouch and was surprised that it was all gold coins. He said in his heart 'even if I buy them fancy food, this money is still a lot!'

...

In the prison

After no one noticed, Gandora released a small talisman that stuck to her chest and instantly her human ear disappeared and was replaced with a pair of wolf ears and a long black tail.

Seeing their village chief release the talisman, the other nine people followed him doing the same. After releasing the talisman, Gandora stroked his tail while saying "fouh.., I haven't cleaned my tail for a long time."

"village chief, what did you really promise the third prince?" ask a young man who looks very strong.

"that's right, you guys don't have to worry about going to be slaves anymore because the third prince is probably the one who was foretold."

"no way! The prophecy says that the one who will lead us is one who is not of this world! And he is clearly a prince of this kingdom." replied the young man who did not believe Gandora's words.

Others do not believe in Gandora's words. But the three people who walked directly with Jani believed him and one of the three said "i believe!. Because even though he is the prince of this kingdom, but his fighting technique is something I have never met before."

Before the young man refuted his words, Gandora interrupted "this is only my guess. We can only pray to the wolf god to protect our werewolf race from all sorts of dangers."
