The First Magic World War

Charles sent Homonsa away and couldn't help but pull out the Hockwell Silver Rhinoceros. This alchemical handgun truly deserved its reputation across the continent and could be called a demonic firearm: Regicide!

It had killed Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, but in fact, it hadn't just killed an archduke.

It had also killed Jonathan, the leader of the South Ceraph Reclamation Army.

It had slain the usurper emperor, Redmir.

It had been borrowed by Ebner Sumei to kill the pseudo-empress!

Charles didn't even know the name of that "empress," but to become Redmiel Axer's wife, she must have been no ordinary woman. Sadly, she had personally made a hazelnut praline cake to celebrate her husband becoming emperor...

That lady was a tragedy!

Indeed, this alchemical handgun's sister models had several times nearly killed Charles Mecklen!

However, for Charles, these Silver Rhinoceros handguns could be considered his lucky guns.

Along with the Anti-Space Sniper Rifle he received from Baron Leo, they had served Charles Mecklen well, killing countless formidable enemies.

Although Charles had now switched to the Red-Blue Rattlesnake, these Extraordinary Firearms remained his favorite.

Charles put away the Hockwell Silver Rhinoceros and took out the Anti-Space Sniper Rifle. He had promised Homonsa to bring a gift for her and Dobin's wedding, and this Extraordinary Rifle would be a perfect gift. Although he still had one of Byron's Super Long-Range Repeating Alchemical Rifles, the couple obviously couldn't afford to use it; the Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullets were too expensive, costing one and a half Gold Aegeus per round. Only this Extraordinary Rifle was suitable.

Charles took a cloth and carefully wiped the Extraordinary Rifle clean, even disassembling some parts to re-oil them.

After some hesitation, he sent someone to purchase a long gift box and two boxes of Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullets.

As a solitary fighter, Charles had killed many enemies, but the box of one hundred and twenty Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullets that Mama Karen had given him still hadn't run out. These two boxes of bullets, one as a gift for the Dobin couple and the other for his own use, would replenish his ammunition reserves. Though costly, Charles was quite wealthy and didn't mind spending a few hundred Aegeus.

Charles prepared the gift, planning to deliver it to Dobin's wedding with Anne.

Outside, the festivities were getting louder, clearly, the celebration was likely to last the whole night.

Charles waited a while before a new carriage entered Sparrowhawk Street Number One; it was Anne, who had just left the Imperial Palace. Charles hurried out to greet her, and after exchanging pleasantries with most folks, they left the Lucavaro District Patrolling Army office.

As Charles exited the main door, he glanced across the street from the carriage, looking at Sparrowhawk Street Number Two, which used to be his office—the Lucavaro District Administration Bureau. But Charles knew that from now on, he was unlikely to visit these two places again; appearing in these locations would no longer be called working but inspecting.

Seeing Anne in a good mood, Charles asked, "Where shall we go today?"

Anne Brittany said with a beaming smile, "Come to my Ducal Mansion!"

Charles Meklen gave a slight smile and replied, "Very well, I haven't visited your residence yet."

Both of them were relaxed and happy, their world had changed since yesterday.

Redmiel Axer's Duchy Mansion was also in the Val de Vaz District, but it was on the Second Avenue!

The capital of Fars was Strasbourg, and the heart of Strasbourg was the Val de Vaz District!

But if one were to talk about the center of the Val de Vaz District, it would be the central Ninth Avenue.

The Mecklen estate was situated on Sixth Avenue, which was already quite luxurious, but Prince Redmiel outdid it he lived at Number 3 on Second Avenue!

Hmm, the First Avenue had only one address, and that was the Imperial Palace!

This mansion had already undergone minor renovations, but since Anne was also of the Axel bloodline, she did not scrape off all the Axel Family's crests and emblems, but rather added the Brittany Family's silver snake patterns in many key and conspicuous places!

The entire staff of the original Prince Redmiel's estate had been dismissed, not a single person was left behind, all replaced by people of the Brittany Family, from Mama Karen, the chief stewardess, down to the guards and the servants, nearly all of them were familiar faces Anne had grown up seeing.

Charles felt much more at ease at the Ducal Mansion of Anne Brittany than he did at the Mecklen's Earl Mansion or the Imperial Palace. With a faint smile on his face, he continuously spoke tender words to Anne, who in turn was introducing him to this new mansion.

As the two were not yet married, Anne had specially reserved a residence for Charles within the mansion, overseeing all the furnishings herself.

As Charles accompanied Anne on a tour of the Ducal Mansion, he couldn't help but admire, the world's architectural skills indeed had some extraordinary features. The mansion was nearly on par with those famous palaces in Europe, except that it was far behind in terms of art collections. There was no helping it; this was, after all, a world with Transcendents, where even the nobility would place more value on Extraordinary Objects rather than art with no practical use. Any items that were somewhat related to art would inevitably have extraordinary attributes.

Seeing Charles seemingly very happy, Anne said to him, "The estate next door originally belonged to another prince, he has already announced his opposition to our father's ascension. I will persuade our father to grant it to us, and I'll have someone knock down a few courtyard walls, so our estates will be connected."

Charles nodded slightly, he didn't care much about estates. For him, hailing from Earth as a transmigrator, accustomed to living in small houses of dozens or at most a hundred square meters, his longing for a house was at most similar to the scale of Street 58, Elysian Pastoral not particularly yearning to reside in a mansion like a palace.

The two chatted leisurely for a while before someone came to report that Earl Brittany had come to visit.

Charles hesitated for a moment before realizing that the current Earl Brittany was now Antonio.

Anne happily pulled Charles along to greet Antonio, who strode in, looked at them and complained, "Anne, why did you move in such a hurry? I haven't prepared many things yet, I will send them over in the next few days."

Anne smiled and said, "This place was originally a Prince's residence, it lacks nothing. You just need to bring over my daily necessities!"

Upon seeing Charles, Antonio also had many things he wanted to say. He addressed Charles, "In no more than three days, we will be setting out. However, you will be commanding your own troops this time, departing from Earl Mecklen's territory to invade the heartland of Black Phoenix."

"I will accompany Father from the frontline battlefield into Black Phoenix!"
