Chapter 402 Mystery
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Fortuna was a small, ancient town that was almost unknown and could even be called isolated.
In this town, there was a unique religion that worshiped the demon Sparda as a god, which was spread in other countries and places as fairy tales. The residents lived anachronistic lives and were far away from modern civilization. And this unique religion was named the ‘Order of the Sword’…
About five years ago, an enormous change happened in this town. Almost all the buildings in it were destroyed, and a large number of residents became homeless and suffered heavy casualties.
After this incident, a famous magazine, the Occult Times, which had been in business for more than thirty years, had once sent reporters here to search for the truth of the news. This Occult Times was a magazine that only dealt with and reported on mysterious rumors and urban legends. In recent years, this magazine became very famous due to the occurrence of numerous mysterious events. Regarding the changes in this town at that time, the magazine finally reported it as-“A Mysterious White Giant Attacked the Ancient Town of Fortuna?!”
Due to the unique religious belief of the town, the residents here were xenophobic and cold to outsiders. This also caused the reporters who came to investigate back then to obtain only vague information, which was why there was such a title that was similar to guessing. Now, five years later, the town of Fortuna had gradually completed its reconstruction, and many buildings had been restored, but there was now a special shop in this town.
Devil May Cry…
After spending about three hours, Dante, Nero, and the others drove back to this small town from the neighboring city. It was still ten o’clock at night. When the car stopped in front of the shop, they could see the neon sign on the roof. But when Dante pushed the car door open, got out, and looked up at the neon sign, he could not help but sigh. “Nero, I didn’t expect you to have the money to pay the electricity bill. The sign of my shop hasn’t lit up for two months…”
Nero carried his wife, Kyrie, who had fallen asleep in the car, in his arms and got out of the car. When he heard this, he could not help saying, “Dante, if you don’t kick the door of your shop open every time you go out, you’ll have the money to pay the electricity bill!”
In other words, Dante spent too much money on repairing the door…
Dante shrugged. He opened the trunk, carried the unconscious Sareth, and called for Trish and Lady to follow him. The group followed behind Nero into his shop.
The name of Nero’s shop was the same as that of Dante’s. In fact, Dante had given the sign of Nero’s shop to him, and he accepted commissions to hunt demons, which was the job that both Nero and Dante were doing now. But unlike Dante’s, Nero’s shop was well maintained. Not only did he rely on the shop to earn money to support his wife, Kyrie, but they had even adopted a few children who had become orphans five years ago because of the incident with the Order of the Sword.
The operations of the two similar shops were totally different, so when Trish and Lady looked over, Dante could not help but blush…
“Wow. Why are you only back now?”
As soon as they entered the shop, a female voice came. Then a woman wearing a T-shirt and hot pants appeared in front of everyone. She was wearing a pair of glasses and had a cigarette in her mouth. Her black hair was slightly curled, and she had wheat-colored skin and strange tattoos all over her arms.
“Shh. Lower your voice. Kyrie is asleep!” Nero did not wait for the woman to continue asking and quickly stopped her. “I’ll take her back to our room to rest first. Where are Julio and the others?”
“The children are asleep too…” the woman in glasses replied softly.
Nero nodded and walked into the bedroom, leaving the bespectacled woman and Dante staring at each other. But soon, the bespectacled woman seemed to recognize his identity from his clothes, and an excited expression immediately appeared on her face as she stammered, “You… you’re the famous… Dante?!”
“Ah, it’s me…” Dante was stunned. “Do you know me?” “I… I’m Nico, Nicoletta Goldstein!” Nico said excitedly. “You may not know me, but… but you definitely know my grandmother, Nell Goldstein!”
Dante looked blank. “… Who is that?”
“Ah, sorry… I forgot to say it!” Nico quickly pointed at the guns in Dante’s hands. “My grandmother is the master gunsmith who made you the guns!”
Dante raised Ebony & Ivory and saw the portraits on each of the gun handles. Nico pointed at the portraits and said excitedly, “Yes, yes! This is my grandmother!”
Unexpectedly, she was an acquaintance. Dante smiled and said, “You don’t look like her…”
“Uh, not really. I inherited my looks from my father…” Nico poked her fingers nervously. Seeing her like this, Dante put the guns back into his waist and shook her hand with his right hand, making Nico overjoyed, and her nervousness lessened a lot.
Behind him, Trish and Lady curled their lips in unison…
Ahem! Sensing the chill behind him, Dante quickly changed the topic. “Let’s find a place to settle this kid first!”
Only then did Nico notice Sareth, whom Dante had placed on a table after entering. She could not help but say in surprise, “A child? What’s going on?”
It was not easy for Dante to explain. Fortunately, Nero came out at this moment. He picked Sareth up from the table and asked everyone to follow him. Finally, he led everyone to a garage behind the shop. This was where Nero usually repaired vehicles and weapons. “Tie him up first?” Nero placed Sareth on a chair and asked for everyone’s opinion.
Except for Nico, who did not know what was going on, Dante, Trish, and Lady all nodded in agreement. When Dante transformed into a demon, the hand knife he hit the child with was quite heavy, and they estimated that the child would probably not wake up until tomorrow morning. But just in case, it was better to put some restraints on him.
After tying Sareth up, Lady took a blanket and covered him…
Then Trish placed the scythe, Executioner, and the gun, Calamity, on the workbench under the light. This group of people began to observe. When Nico saw these two weapons, she could not look away. She stretched out her hand and wanted to pick up Calamity, but Nero stopped her. “Be careful.”
Nico was stunned for a moment before nodding
The reason why Nero had agreed to bring Sareth back to his place was actually that he considered the fact that a weapons expert, Nico, had been staying here since she found him a few months ago.
After picking up the gun, Nico tried to disassemble it, but she quickly realized that it was impossible. She said in surprise, “Damn it! This gun is actually one piece?!”
“What do you mean?” Trish asked.
“I mean that this gun is not made of parts!” Nico explained. “It looked like this since it was made. Because it wasn’t assembled, I can’t disassemble it unless we smash it!”
“Is this manufacturing process possible?” Nero asked subconsciously.
“Of course not!” Nico said with certainty. “That’s why this gun is extraordinary. Wait a moment. I’ll take a bit of material from this gun and analyze it.”
However, when Nico tried to remove some scraps from the handle of the gun with sandpaper under everyone’s watchful eyes, she realized that she could not scrape off any part of the gun at all. The material used to make this gun was incredibly hard. “Don’t waste your effort…” Lady said. “Dante said that this gun might be made of demon bones.”
“But who made it?” Nico asked curiously.
No one could answer her. Everyone looked at Sareth, who was still sleeping with his head lowered.
Unexpectedly, Nero reached out his left hand to pick up the gun. After injecting a little magic power into it, he shot a target in the garage.
The loud gunshot startled Nico, but then she found that both Nero and Dante had solemn expressions.
“What’s wrong?” Nico asked.
“When this child uses this gun, he can shoot out flame bullets and corrosive black bullets!” Dante explained. “But just now, Nero also fired a shot, but there was no special effect.”
“Yes, after injecting magic power into it, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, disappearing in the blink of an eye!” Nero said. “Either I didn’t find the right way to use it, or… only this kid can use this gun!”
“The latter is more likely!” Dante sighed. “This is a proper demon armament…” “Let’s look at this scythe!” Trish placed Executioner on the table. “Look at what material this scythe is made of.”
Nico took it and observed it carefully. After a while, she said, “It’s also a one-piece forging method. If I’m not wrong, this scythe and that gun should have the same craftsmanship… Although this scythe is made of metal, I’ve never seen this metal before.”
“That’s really…” Trish held her forehead with a headache. “Let me tell you something worse. In my impression, there is no similar metal like this in the Demon World!”.
Trish was a demon who came from the Demon World, which was the Purgatory Space of this world. She said that she had never seen a similar metal in the Demon World, which meant that there really was no similar metal.
The question was, where did this metal come from?
Another… World?!
