Chapter 1019: Chapter 628, Revolver
The words were spoken eloquently.
But Groot didn’t listen to a single one of them.
He was still looking at the other party, his face showing surprise.
A man who had been declared dead by the council was now sitting right across from him.
And he showed no signs that were different from a normal person.
Not dead? Or was it fake news deliberately released by the council?
What was going on?
“Groot, the evidence Rebecca submitted to the council clearly points to you, and even the church would have a hard time saving you,” Xu Haide continued to say.
At this point, Groot began to react.
He immediately said, “Saint Xu Haide, you’re taking me away, there must be a way, right? You must save me.”
If it had been manageable, the Marshall family would have rescued him earlier.
Being detained for several days meant that the family didn’t have a good solution either.
Now, Xu Haide had taken him out.

There must have been a plan.
He didn’t want to go back to the dungeon; it was simply no place for humans.
“It’s difficult,” Xu Haide said.
Groot was naturally aware that all help came with a clear price.
He immediately said, “Just tell me straight, Saint Xu Haide, whatever you need me to do, I’ll make sure it gets done. I still have some money in hand. Just help me settle this matter, and it’s all yours.”
Xu Haide smiled faintly.
Groot was the kind of person who was straightforward and easy to communicate with.
“I need you to do me a favor. If you succeed, I’ll ask the Archbishop to help and make the evidence that’s accusing you disappear.”
“What favor? I’m just a businessman; I can’t manage something too difficult.”
Xu Haide smiled faintly and looked at him, “Capture someone for me, alive and in secret. You’re best at that sort of thing.”
Groot narrowed his eyes slightly, “Who?”
“The transmigrator, Li Rong. You must have heard of her.”
Groot’s eyes, which had just narrowed, widened again as he exclaimed in a low growl, “The Mage Association’s Li Rong? Are you crazy? How can I capture her? I want to help you, but I don’t have the power to do so.”
“Think about it, there’s always a chance.”
…
Two days later.
In the main city, inside the City Lord’s hall.
Two Nisbits dragged in a Snake Woman covered in whip marks.
As they let go, the Snake Woman collapsed on the floor.
She looked pitiful and weak.
Fang Hao didn’t speak but looked at her Loyalty first.
[Embrace of the Deep Sea – Beiyehu, current Loyalty 65 points.]
65 points, it seemed to have dropped again.
“Beiyehu, three days have passed; do you realize your mistake now?” Fang Hao’s voice was very serious, emitting an air of authority.
The Snake Woman Beiyehu was as if drained of all strength.
Her four arms struggled to prop herself up from the ground, lifting her body into a standing position.
She said, “I realize my mistake, and I will never challenge the Leader again.”
Fang Hao watched her carefully.
Staring into her eyes, observing her movements.
Although her features still possessed that exotic allure, her eyes now flickered with fear.
“There are plenty of Dark Gold and Orange ranked heroes in the territory, your presence or absence makes no difference. If you are willing to serve the territory, I certainly won’t shortchange you. But if you continue with your pirate ways, all that awaits you is flaying and dissection to be made into a Skeleton,” Fang Hao reiterated coldly.
Beiyehu seemed frightened, immediately bowed her head and said softly, “Yes, I understand.”
Fang Hao nodded, choosing not to press the severity any further. How she would behave from then on still needed to be observed over time.
He continued, “Do you have any requirements for your residence?”
“Ah! What?”
Caught off guard by the sudden change of subject, Beiyehu was taken aback.
Was she being given a house to stay in? And she could make requests?
How could things change so fast? He was just threatening to kill her.
“What are your requirements for the place you live in?” Fang Hao repeated.
Beiyehu said cautiously, “I would like to have some water.”
“A hot spring?”
“No, no, just regular water is fine.”
“Okay, can you walk? Follow me to see your residence,” Fang Hao stood up and walked towards the door.
Beiyehu’s body was slightly shaky, but she managed to remain upright.
She followed behind the golden armored Lizardman.
She could sense that the Lizardman was a powerful hero but always felt that the human leader was the most dangerous.
The three of them arrived in the living area for Living Creatures.
Looking at the neat rows of small buildings, courtyards, flower beds, and fountains, Beiyehu still widened her eyes in surprise.
This must be where the nobles in the city lived!
Would she also live in such an environment?
It was even better than when she was a pirate captain.
“How does this look?”
Suddenly, a voice spoke up beside her, snapping Beiyehu back to reality.
The human and the Lizardman had stopped, standing in front of the two of them.
There was a vacant lot.
“Leader, what did you say?” Beiyehu stepped forward and asked.
Fang Hao repeated, “I’ll have a house built for you here.”
“It’s fine, thank you, Leader.”
This spot was at the edge of the construction area, next to the Dark Elf hero Morse.
But it was currently vacant, as Morse was protecting Li Rong.
Hearing ‘Beiyehu’ agree,
Fang Hao immediately opened the Book of Lords, located the Blueprint for the house, and began construction.
Under the cover of light, the house was built.
He directly upgraded the house to level ten.
In the front courtyard, Fang Hao built her a fountain and flower beds to match the style of the other buildings.
Neat and orderly, it resembled a previous villa community.
Previously, he had considered housing the Snake Woman in the maid’s area but was afraid that it might bring danger to the maids.
So she was allocated a place here instead.
“The water you mentioned can be put in a pool in the backyard,” Fang Hao said softly.
To the side, Beiyehu was staring wide-eyed.
It was her first time witnessing the power of a transmigrator.
Magically conjuring a house from thin air was akin to a miracle.
Fang Hao paid her no mind and continued, “You can have Skeleton soldiers help you dig; just don’t dig too deep as there is a drainage system below. If you need any furniture, have the Skeletons bring it from the warehouse.”
“`
Having said that, he left with Demitrija.
Leaving only Beiyehu staring blankly at the building that had appeared out of nowhere.
When Fang Hao returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.
The system prompt finally followed.
[The Embrace of the Deep Sea – Beiyehu, your loyalty increased by 5 points, it is currently at 70 points.]
It’s reached 70 again.
Seems like, the loyalty of the Snake Woman isn’t difficult to raise.
It has already increased by 5 points now.
…
After dealing with Beiyehu’s matter.
The issue with the new hero was brought to an end for the time being.
Otherwise, it truly would have been a pity to let Nelson turn her into a Skeleton.
Skeleton heroes, although one hundred percent loyal, will no longer have any chance of improvement, and it’s like cutting off one’s own retreat.
In the afternoon.
Fang Hao continued to lie on the deck chair, swaying back and forth.
The Red General flew over again with various dried fruits for him to peel.
At that moment.
With a ‘ding,’ the Book of Lords once again transmitted the sound of a private message.
While stuffing nuts into the parrot’s mouth,
He opened it to check.
The message was sent by Cao Junming, a transmigrator from Gray Iron City, home of the Dwarves.
It was the person who had designed the bolt-action rifle and the revolver.
Although Fang Hao didn’t think highly of Cao Junming’s character, he acknowledged his talent.
At least, currently in the world channel, he hadn’t seen any firearms like revolvers appear.
“Boss, the revolver blueprint has been engraved, and Bellerga told me to send it to you,” Cao Junming said.
Seeing the message content, Fang Hao was delighted. Great, now the revolver could be mass-produced.
“Send it over.”
“Alright, I’m sending a direct trade,” said Cao Junming.
Soon, Fang Hao received the blueprint and, once it was exchanged,
He immediately recorded it in the Book of Lords.
[Revolver (blue): Sturdy Wood 1, White Steel Ingot 3, Fine Iron Ingot 2, Precision Parts 5.]
[Pistol Bullet (green): Iron 1, White Steel Ingot 1, Metal Parts 1, Black Gunpowder 1.]
The blueprints for both the handgun and its bullets were all laid out.
The gun was named Revolver, not revolver. The name doesn’t really matter, as long as it’s effective.
Its quality is blue, and its damage is sufficient.
The handgun’s purpose isn’t for any large-scale battle but rather for self-protection in emergencies.
For real assaults and force battles, rifles are more useful.
Having acquired a new item,
Fang Hao stood up, pushing away the fat parrot that had leaned in close again.
“Let’s go, to the shooting range….”
The parrot flew up, landing on Fang Hao’s shoulder, and together they headed towards the shooting range.
…
Once at the shooting range,
Fang Hao began to manufacture directly.
[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, Received Revolver x101.]
[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, Received Pistol Bullet x606.]
The bullets came in sets of six. When Fang Hao produced 1 unit of bullets, 6 appeared.
These were shorter than the rifle bullets.
He picked up a revolver, opened the revolving chamber, and loaded the bullets.
Aiming at the target ahead, he then pulled the trigger.
Pop pop pop…!!
After a series of gunshots, only three bullets hit the target.
The rest landed on the ground around.
Ejecting the spent shells and loading new bullets, he continued to practice shooting.
In close distances, the revolver could still be used for rapid kills, actually faster than casting spells.
After practicing for a while,
A crowd gathered outside the shooting range just to watch.
Fang Hao called Anjia and the maids over and had them familiarize themselves with the handgun.
So that they would have a means of self-defense if something happened.
The maids practiced with their handguns, firing away.
Fang Hao then messaged Dong Jiayue, Zhang Bin, and Li Rong, a few of his directly subordinated city lords.
He allocated handguns and bullets to them.
…
On the sea.
A sea vessel had its bottom drilled through.
Along with the people tied to the ship, they all began sinking towards the ocean floor.
“I f*cking curse you, you bunch of animals, I won’t let you go even as a ghost, you damn beasts…”
On the slowly sinking ship, many people were locked up in the cabin.
At the top mast of the deck, a man in his twenties was tied up.
Covered in wounds, he coughed up blood while cursing loudly.
As the ship took him down with it.
The pirate beasts merely glanced at him in mockery.
They continued to move the looted goods and boarded a larger ship in the distance.
A ship bearing the emblem of a human torso with a snake’s tail, holding up a rainbow-lit pearl.
The Sea Tribe…
The Japanese, and the Sea Tribe.
I will remember you, you beasts.
“I swear, I will not let you go, not even as a ghost!”
The ship sank completely, silence overtook the sea.
…
On the sea vessel.
It had been several days since they set off from Giant Claw Island.
The ship cut through the waves, its sails flapping loudly in the wind.
Shi He Ming stood on deck, his gaze fixed on the vast ocean.
Unlike those who lived on land, they were adapted to the ocean, and comfortable with ships.
“Lord Shi He Ming, we’ve just acquired over a thousand various items, more than five thousand units of spice materials, and over a thousand human Gold Coins,” reported a transmigrator as he came to the deck and stood side by side with Shi He Ming.
