Anti-Space Sniper Rifle

Lord Leo opened his eyes. Two servants silently took out a water bottle, put three pieces of blood bait into clean water, vigorously shook it to mix, and poured it into a tin cup, handing it to their master.

Lord Leo drank a cup of the bloody water, feeling slightly more refreshed. He softly chanted a short spell, and over a dozen palm-sized small bats flew out from him, soaring into the sky.

For the past ten-plus days, he had been using this secret technique daily to scout distant areas!

Each of the Thirty-Seven Vampire Clans has different secret techniques. The Arthur Family, as one of the Three Imperial Families, has the Blood Kindred True Word Technique as its foundational secret. The Arthur clan excels in spells. This Blood Bat Technique can be used to attack enemies, transform into countless bats to escape, but its primary use is for reconnaissance.

Lord Leo didn't fully trust Charlotte.

The more than ten small bats flew out for two or three hours, but only two returned. They flew into Lord Leo's body, causing the Blood Kindred Lord's spirit to suddenly lift. He said in a low voice, "Ferdinand is indeed passing by nearby."

"Qian Nan didn't lie. He is still trustworthy."

Charlotte saying that Grand Duke Ferdinand would pass by Machu Picchu wasn't just a random guess.

When he was helping Senior Sister Menilman organize documents, he happened to see a file about a recently imprisoned South Seraph Restorationist. That guy was arrested for plotting a riot, and the file mentioned the route Grand Duke Ferdinand would take to Strasbourg.

Charlotte was going to Machu Picchu at the time, so he casually mentioned that Grand Duke Ferdinand would pass by, unexpectedly gaining more trust from Lord Leo because of it.

While Lord Leo sent out the blood bats to scout the surrounding area, Charlotte was tactful and didn't crowd him, continuing to study the Vampire Secret Scroll.

Seeing Lord Leo's blood bats return, he quickly put away the Vampire Secret Scroll, respectfully walked over, and said, "Do you need me to send people to scout?"

Lord Leo shook his head and said, "The South Seraph Restorationists have already set up their ambush. Your people going over would only alert the enemy."

"The two of us going is enough."

Charlotte was initially relieved when he heard he didn't need to send people, but he didn't expect Lord Leo to want him to go along. He said with slight surprise, "Me?"

Lord Leo smiled slightly and said, "The South Seraph Restorationists don't have any particularly powerful individuals. Their assassination might not succeed. Our mission is to provide a supplementary shot when necessary."

"How is your marksmanship?"

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then replied, "It's okay. I can extinguish a candle within twenty paces."

Lord Leo reached behind his neck and pulled out a massive firearm from under his collar.

It was over 1.5 Pimi long, which is about 1.8 meters in Earth's metric system. The barrel was slightly thinner than an arm, but for a firearm, it was terrifyingly thick. Over ninety percent of the parts gleamed with a metallic sheen, and the entire thing exuded a sense of ruggedness, sturdiness, and weight. It could not only shoot but also serve as a formidable weapon in ground combat.

The Old Continent didn't have the sniper rifle branch yet, but it did have rifles.

The design style of this rifle was completely different from that of the Blood Kindred, clearly originating from a high-level Alchemy workshop in the Empire of Fars, and it was a special model.

Lord Leo laughed and said, "You're in luck! This is the signature product of Fire Cromwell Workshop, one of the six major Alchemy workshops in Fars - the Anti-Space Long-Range Rifle!"

"Spatial Equipment is for containing, Anti-Space is for concealing. You can hide it in any everyday item, making it very portable."

"This gun comes with a Spatial Magazine. When taken out of the concealed item, its Anti-Space will transform into a Spatial Magazine. However, spatial properties are not compatible, so when it's hidden in other items, the Spatial Magazine transforms into Anti-Space and will expel the ammunition. The bullets need to be carried separately at all times."

"Besides that, it can also convert various energies like Battle Qi, Blood Energy, and Magic Power into bullets, but low-level Transcendent individuals won't be able to fire many shots; it's only for temporary emergencies."

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

"Of course, unless you're a Transcendent marksman, no one can shoot that far with accuracy."

"This time I brought two Anti-Space Long-Range Rifles. This one is yours."

"At that time, you can also take a few shots and try it out. Anyway, the South Seraph Restorationists will take the blame. It's not often you get a chance to openly shoot at a Grand Duke and not end up on the gallows, even if you kill someone."

Charlotte swallowed. He initially thought Lord Leo had Spatial Equipment on him; otherwise, how could such a thick and long rifle be hidden in a mere piece of clothing?

Hearing the words "Anti-Space" made him even more surprised. Anti-Space Supernatural Items were unique wonders of this world.

Magic Equipment with Anti-Space properties could be hidden anywhere, essentially temporarily turning ordinary items into dedicated spatial containment equipment.

This characteristic was incredible and highly innovative.

Not all Magic Equipment on the Old Continent were cold weapons; it was just that firearms were rarer and more expensive.

This Anti-Space Long-Range Rifle was Magic Equipment, and with the Anti-Space attribute, its price would definitely not be lower than the Shanlunshi Spear in Louis Smythe's hand!

From Lord Leo's words, it seemed this long-range rifle wouldn't be taken back!

What kind of windfall was this?

However, Charlotte was a transmigrator after all, and he quickly sobered up after a few seconds, thinking to himself, "If the weapon used to kill Grand Duke Ferdinand is an Anti-Space Long-Range Rifle, then whoever has this weapon is suspected of being the murderer!"

"He's making me the scapegoat!"

"Vampires are indeed not good people!"

"Pah! They're not even human."

Charlotte pretended not to understand the key point and accepted the Anti-Space Long-Range Rifle with a look of joy. He tapped it against the Alchemy Staff he always kept with him. The name "Anti-Space Long-Range Rifle" was indeed deserved. This ruggedly shaped rifle seamlessly integrated into the Alchemy Staff, only making the staff slightly heavier.

Lord Leo handed over a bag of bullets and said, "This is a bag of specially made Demon-Breaking Armor-Piercing Bullets. One shot is enough to kill a Titan Demon. Although Ferdinand is also a high-level Transcendent, he definitely won't be able to withstand one shot."

Charlotte took the bullet bag and opened it for a look. The Demon-Breaking Armor-Piercing Bullets were seven or eight times larger than ordinary bullets. There were only twenty in the bag, but they were very heavy and couldn't be carried on his person at all.

He beckoned to an adventurer and said, "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 and didn't have the heart to throw this one away. Besides being a bit old, it's still quite sturdy."

Charlotte put the bullet bag inside and said, "Lord! Let's go."

Lord Leo smiled slightly and walked out of Machu Picchu Fortress. It was as if someone was guiding him; like an old horse finding its way, he walked faster and faster, finally breaking into a run.
