Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Regarding Bernadette's conclusion, Audis had considered it, but he then shook his head and smiled: "I don't think so."

As he spoke, he skillfully assembled the parts in the wooden box, saying, "The magic array within this extraordinary weapon requires a bone knife made from the 'leg bone of a mutated flamingo' for carving."

"Each weapon requires the consumption of three leg bones of mutated flamingos, each costing about 25 pounds."

"The carved marks need to be filled with a mixture of 'magma feldspar powder' and 'red-crowned fairy grass powder', which will cost about 50 pounds."

Under Audis' description, the scattered parts in the wooden box were assembled into the shape of a revolver.

Its method of use is to inject spirituality while pulling the trigger. Each bullet fired is like a fist-sized fireball. After hitting the target, in addition to the damage caused by the bullet, it can also cause a large area of burns.

Even if it doesn't directly hit the target, being hit by the aftermath of the fireball, the damage from the flames can still burn the target.

He picked up the gun, adjusted it slightly, and continued, "These parts also need to be customized. Thanks to Backlund's developed industry, even a slightly skilled foundry can take such orders.

"But because they are too small and the quantity is small, the cost is also very beautiful, with the parts for each gun costing about 10 pounds."

"The bullets also need to be specially treated, with the metal soaked in 'mutated flamingo blood' and the gunpowder mixed with 'bone powder of magma sprites'. Each bullet costs 12 Soli, and they expire if not used for two months."

"Calculated this way, the initial cost of this gun is 135 pounds, which doesn't even include my design and research costs. Because the spirituality in the spiritual materials will dissipate after about a year, it will cost about 80 pounds each year for 'maintenance'."

He paused and then said seriously, "The rent for the townhouse I currently live in is only 35 pounds for half a year."

"An ordinary revolver costs only about 3 pounds on the black market in Backlund city, and only about 1 pound and 15 Soli if traded in the suburbs."

Audis shook his head: "In comparison, the cost of this extraordinary weapon is too high."

"Well, even the price I mentioned above is only because I run a herbalist shop and have access to purchase cheap, high-level spiritual materials."

"Such a weapon would sell for at least 500 pounds on the market!"

Audis finally said, "I don't think every Sequence 9 has such financial resources. If I wasn't doing some research, I might as well buy a good revolver and practice my marksmanship diligently."

"What if someone invests in them?" Bernadette suddenly said, "For example, if I commissioned you to make 10 such weapons and distribute them to 10 Sequence 9s who are not very good at direct combat.

"This would immediately give them a very practical means of attack. If ten people… no, if three people fired together, I believe it would be enough to easily take down a Sequence 8."

Audis opened his mouth before saying, "You're really rich."

"That price…"

Audis held up three fingers: "300 pounds per gun, no lower."

The "Mysterious Queen" with beautiful eyes stared at Audis: "You clearly said just now that the cost is only 135 pounds."

"I also said just now that it doesn't include the design fee, as well as my labor costs," Audis spread his hands: "No matter where you go, you won't find this price."

To be precise, it's not that you can't find this price, but that you can't find a similar weapon.

Bernadette nodded: "Okay, but on one condition, you have to teach the people I send how to maintain the gun and how to make bullets."

Then she pointed to Audis's inside-out coat: "And what is that?"

"This is also an application of the magic array," Audis explained: "It's just that the center of the magic array is a more valuable extraordinary material.

"And there are many limitations to its use. For example, this coat can only be used once a week. Using it a second time will directly turn me into a spirit world creature, which is far less convenient than sealed items, except that the negative effects are basically borne by the magic array."

Bernadette "hmmed" and said that the coat was useless to her: "Three days later, I will send someone to learn how to maintain the gun from you."

As she spoke, she walked out: "As for those ten revolvers, delivering them in a month shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"No problem, but the person coming to learn must also bring a 1000 pound deposit," Audis quickly asked again: "What should I do if I encounter danger?"

"You don't have to worry about those two men in black," Bernadette said: "Besides, I will guarantee your safety before the transaction, but after the transaction… I'm not your bodyguard."

After saying this, she was surrounded by illusory feathered wings. When the illusory wings dissipated, the "Mysterious Queen" also disappeared.

Audis sat at the counter for more than ten seconds before sighing: "Tonight is really exciting!"

Although Bernadette has targeted the extraordinary organization that wanted to capture Audis, they most likely won't bother him again, but he didn't relax his vigilance because of this.

After turning off the gas lamp in the herbalist shop, Audis simply went out through the back door, passed through a dark alley, and came to the adjacent Wilt Street.

After confirming that no one was following him, he quickly left and came to a secret stronghold prepared in advance.

That was a dilapidated apartment in the northern part of the West End. Audis rented a room on the second floor with a bedroom and a separate washroom. There was also a semi-open kitchen facing outwards on the balcony.

The rent here only cost 18 Soli a month, less than 1 pound.

After placing warning bells on the balcony and at the door, Audis lay down on the somewhat damp bed to rest.

While reviewing today's experiences, he fell asleep like this.

After entering the dreamland, Audis had a strange dream, dreaming that he was walking in a space full of gray-white mist. As he walked, a tall and mysterious castle appeared in front of him.

Because Audis could do research in dreams, he gradually regained some thinking ability.

He was a little strange, what was this castle? Judging from the appearance, this was not an ordinary castle, giving people a terrifying and eerie feeling.

The two doors of the castle were tall and large, and were now tightly closed, as if no one had opened them for a long time.

Woo ~ Woo ~

Suddenly, the sound of beasts appeared in the gray mist. Audis looked around vigilantly. The surrounding gray mist was rolling, and it was impossible to see what beasts there were.

He habitually went to draw his gun, but found that he was wearing very thin clothes and had no weapons on him.

At this time, Audis found himself becoming more and more awake, so he began to walk forward along the castle to see if there was a place to avoid the beasts.

Woo ~ Woo ~

Just a few steps away, a vicious dog with short hair covering its entire body and a long and thin system appeared in front of Audis. The corners of its mouth extended to the back of its head, and dark red flames were burning in its eye sockets, staring intently at Audis.

Audis immediately understood where this castle was, and he quickly knocked on the door: "Open the door! Your dog is going to bite people! Open the door!"

More "woo woo" sounds came from around, as if the surrounding mist was already full of the Hound of Fulgen.

That's right, these dogs are the Hounds of Fulgen, and this castle is the "Source Castle"!
