The First Magic World War

Chapter 49 Antispace Sniper Rifle 48

Lord Leo opened his eyes, and two servants silently took out a water bottle, placed three pieces of blood bait into the water, vigorously shook it to mix, and poured the mixture into a tin cup to hand to their master.

Lord Leo drank a cup of the blood water, felt slightly revitalized, and whispered a brief spell, releasing over ten palm-sized bats that soared into the sky.

For the past several days, he had been using this secret technique daily to scout faraway places!

The Vampire's thirty-seven clans each possessed their own secret techniques. As one of the Three Emperor Clans, the Arthur family's foundational secret technique was the Bloodline Mantra. The members of the Arthur clan were all proficient in spells. This Blood Bat Technique could attack enemies, transform into countless bats to escape, but its primary use was still reconnaissance.

Lord Leo did not fully trust Charles.

Over ten little bats flew out for two or three hours, but only two returned, merging back into Lord Leo's body, which significantly invigorated the Vampire Lord. He said in a low voice, "Ferdinand is indeed passing nearby."

"Qian Nan did not lie, he is still trustworthy."

Charles said that Archduke Ferdinand would pass by Machu Picchu, and it really wasn't just a casual remark.

He was sorting documents for Senior Menilman when he happened to see a file about a recently detained South Serif restorer, who had been captured for plotting a rebellion. The document mentioned the route Archduke Ferdinand would take to Strasbourg.

Charles was about to go to Machu Picchu and casually mentioned that Archduke Ferdinand would be passing by, unexpectedly earning more of Lord Leo's trust through this remark.

When Lord Leo sent out the Blood Bats to scout the nearby area, Charles tactfully stayed back, continuing to study the "Vampire Secret Scrolls."

Seeing that Lord Leo's Blood Bats had returned, he quickly put away the "Vampire Secret Scrolls" and respectfully approached, asking, "Do you need me to send someone to scout as well?"

Lord Leo shook his head and said, "The South Serif restorers have already set up an ambush. Your men might spook them if they go."

"Just the two of us will go."

Charles had initially been relieved to hear that no additional people were needed, but he was slightly surprised when Lord Leo said he would accompany him, and remarked, "Me?"

Lord Leo smiled faintly, "The South Serif restorers aren't very formidable. Their assassination might not succeed. Our task is to fire a supplemental shot if necessary."

"How is your gunmanship?"

Charles hesitated for a moment then answered, "Not bad, I can snuff out a candle from twenty paces."

Lord Leo reached into his collar and pulled out a massive firearm.

It was over one and a half pi meters long, which would be about one meter and eighty centimeters on Earth, the barrel slightly thinner than an arm but gruesomely thick for a firearm. Over ninety percent of its parts shimmered with a metallic luster, exuding a sense of ruggedness, sturdiness, and weight. It not only functioned as a firearm but also as a formidable melee weapon.

Rifles existed on the Old Continent even though sniper rifles did not.

The design of this rifle was starkly different from that normally seen among the Blood Clan, clearly a specialty of a high-level alchemy workshop in the Fars Empire.

Lord Leo chuckled, "I'm giving you a bargain! This is the signature product from one of the Six Great Alchemy Workshops, the Hawkwell Workshop's Anti-Space Sniper Rifle!"

"Space equipment is for holding, antispace for concealing. You can hide it in any everyday item, very convenient for carrying."

"This rifle comes with a spatial magazine. When extracted from the concealed item, its antispace will convert to a spatial magazine. However, spaces are incompatible, so when it's concealed in another item, the spatial magazine turns into antispace and spits out the ammunition, thus the bullets need to be carried with you at all times."

"Besides, it can also transform fighting spirit, blood energy, and magic power into bullets. However, a lower-ranked supernatural can't fire many shots, only enough for emergencies."

"Its effective range is three thousand seven hundred pimi!"

"Of course, unless it's a supernatural sharpshooter, no one can hit a target that far with accuracy."

"This time I brought two antispace sniper rifles; this one is yours."

"Later, you can also try firing a few shots. After all, with the South Serif revivalists taking the blame, openly shooting at an archduke, and even if someone gets killed, the chances of ending up on the gallows are not many."

Charles swallowed, initially assuming Lord Leo had spatial equipment on him; otherwise, how could a mere piece of clothing conceal such a long and thick rifle?

Upon hearing the word 'antispace,' he was even more surprised. Antispace extraordinary items are unique objects in this world.

Magical equipment with antispace traits can hide anywhere, effectively turning ordinary items into specialized spatial containment equipment temporarily.

This feature is unimaginable and highly creative.

Not all magical equipment in the Old Continent are melee weapons; firearms are rarer and pricier.

This antispace sniper rifle is a piece of magical equipment, and with the antispace trait, its price will definitely not be lower than the Shulen spear in Louis Simi's hand!

It seems Lord Leo means not to take this sniper rifle back!"

What stroke of fantastic luck is this?

However, as a transmigrator, Charles quickly came to his senses within seconds, secretly thinking, "If the weapon to kill Archduke Ferdinand is an antispace sniper rifle, then anyone possessing this weapon would be under suspicion of murder!"

"This is setting me up to take the blame!"

"Vampires are indeed up to no good!"

"Pah! They are not even human."

Charles pretended not to grasp the implication, accepted the antispace sniper rifle with a joyful expression, and slapped it onto his alchemy staff, that never left his side. True to its name, the rough-looking rifle seamlessly merged with the staff, making it only slightly heavier.

Lord Leo then handed him a packet of bullets, saying, "These are specially made magic-breaking bombshell bullets, one shot is enough to kill a Titan demon. Although Ferdinand is also a high-level transcendent, he definitely can't withstand a shot."

Charles took the packet of bullets, opened it to take a look; the magic-breaking bombshell bullets were seven to eight times larger than regular bullets. There were only twenty in the pack, but they were extremely heavy and couldn't be carried on one's person practically.

He waved at an adventurer, saying, "I remember you have an empty backpack?"

The adventurer took out a leather shoulder bag, removed the miscellaneous items inside, and said, "I got a new backpack but didn't want to throw this one away. Aside from being a bit old, it's still quite sturdy."

Charles packed the bullets inside and said, "Lord! Let's set off."

Lord Leo smiled faintly and walked out of Machu Picchu fortress. He seemed to have someone guiding the way; familiar with the path, he walked faster and faster until he broke into a run.
