The Death List Novel - Chapter 177
Chapter 177 The Abyss Devils’ Response
Qin Lun’s deal with the Dark and Light Burial consignment apostles was very difficult. He had originally thought of exchanging the two items for the Dark Gold revolvers, but the apostle was very smart and accepted the suitable spell, but he scoffed at the FN-500.
The apostle could tell from his words that he was a purely physical archer. The FN-500’s instant shooting skill could only display the power of a light bullet in the hands of an archer with strong perception and good spiritual and magical power. This apostle’s perception was not bad, but his spiritual energy was weak. In his opinion, the two forms of the FN-500 switching was a joke.
In all seriousness, archers rarely cultivated superb swordsmanship. Even if they had no choice but to engage in close combat with their enemies, they mostly used fighting skills such as daggers and “fighting spears”.
Cultivating both spear arts and sword arts at the same time was a waste of cultivation resources in the eyes of the apostle. Moreover, the FN-500’s switching speed was too slow. Just like what Qin Lun had thought when he bought the FN-500, the apostle also believed that the FN-500 was a chicken rib dark gold, and its value should not exceed 40,000 broken crystals.
The most important difference was that even if Qin Lun was willing to sell the FN-500 for 40,000 broken crystals, he wouldn’t. He just insisted that he sell the FN-500 first and then complete the deal between the two of them.
Of course, Qin Lun couldn’t be like a fool, first selling his main weapon, then seeking a deal. Not to mention whether the late apostle would raise the price, even if Light and Dark Funeral was bought by someone else during this period, Qin Lun had to jump into the Huangpu River. No matter how weak the FN-500 was, it was still his main weapon. How could he act recklessly without a substitute?
In the end, Qin Lun had to pay 10,000 broken crystals beside him, plus Earth Sting, FN-500, a broken law crystal and Illusory Demon Tenderloin to complete the transaction.
The Crystal of Fragmentation Laws was a hard currency, and the Illusory Demon Tenderloin was also a high-level recovery item. With the addition of 10,000 fragmented crystals, the total transaction value was close to 120,000 fragmented crystals, a premium of 20,000.
However, although Light and Dark Burial had fatal flaws, its weapon materials had enormous potential, and it even had the ability to upgrade to a sub-legendary weapon. If not for the fact that the apostle could not endure its enormous consumption and the temporary shortage of broken crystals around him, he might not have sold the pair of dark gold revolvers.
Qin Lun was completely convinced of this. After the transaction was completed, the apostle immediately did something that left him at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Although the FN-500 was still in Qin Lun’s storage space, the apostle had already priced it at 50,000 broken crystals and threw it into the auction house.
Perhaps because of the successful completion of the transaction, the apostle had almost certainly answered Qin Lun’s questions about “Light and Dark Burial.” It could be seen that he had put in a lot of effort on this pair of dark gold revolvers. Even though the weapon had already changed its owner, he was still a little reluctant to part with it.
The description of “Burial by Light and Darkness” was very complete, and Qin Lun’s only puzzlement was the general introduction of the bullet mold. The apostle explained this happily, even with a little schadenfreude.
Originally, the bullet mold for the “Light and Dark Burial” could not be made at will. Not only did it require mold blueprints and mold materials, it also required professional apostles with forging skills to refine it. Taking the existing mold as an example, the blueprint can be found in the “exchange list” of the shattered starry sky, and even the dark gold mold only requires thousands of shattered crystals.
The apostle cheered for a long time when he received the “funeral by light and darkness.” However, when he started gathering materials for the dark gold mold, he discovered that he had fallen into a huge crater.
The materials used to make the dark gold mold in the exchange list were extremely expensive. After exchanging for all the materials and adding in the blacksmithing manpower, it was almost equivalent to reforging an ordinary dark gold piece. If he didn’t collect it from the exchange list, he could only slowly accumulate it from the auction house and the mission world. It would take too long.
Since the Thorn Technique and Dark Light Funeral Show were both at the auction house, Qin Lun had directly obtained these two items when he came out of the auction house.
Returning to the villa room, Qin Lun immediately took out his black and white guns and began to play with them. Although he and Joey weren’t normal people, they shared the same hobbies as big boys. It was full of enthusiasm for all kinds of weapons, not to mention the “Light and Dark Burial” was also an elegant shape, full of gorgeous temperament of art.

(In Samuel Colt’s Earth-parallel spacetime, the apostles can attempt to search for the first mold of the light-dark burial bullet.)
Equipment Evaluation: Dark and Light Burial is an excellent early work by Samuel Colt. As the greatest firearm master and demonhunter, Samuel Colt forged countless legendary firearms. Although he hadn’t reached his peak in the early days of his creation, the Light-Dark Funeral was still filled with Colt’s usual elegant and gorgeous style, making him an outstanding revolver set pistol.
Requirements: The apostle must possess an intermediate firearm proficiency in order to use the firearm’s explosive power. Only with 30 points of perception can the firearm enchantment take effect.
After the funeral, Qin Lun erupted with enthusiasm and spent the whole day in the shooting range. With his current shooting skills, he no longer needed a shooting coach. In the future, he could only rely on himself to improve.
Qin Lun only used blue bullets in his training. The blue bullets were very cheap, and he could even withstand the consumption of more than a hundred broken crystals a day. The light and dark bullets were different from ordinary bullets. Ordinary bullets consisted of a warhead, a cartridge case, gunpowder, and a primer. The light and darkness bullets were only part of the warhead, and the gunpowder was replaced by the unique energy of the bullet material, which was detonated by a gun made of eternal flint at the time of firing.
Amongst the three moulds used for the funeral, the blue and purple moulds weren’t surprising. As long as the moulds were used to stamp the bullet materials, they could be produced. However, the materials used in the purple mold were higher than those used in the blue mold. The blue mold produced ordinary bullets, while the purple mold produced hard-core armor piercing bullets.
However, the dark gold mold was different. The original owner of the Light-Dark Burial Museum was equipped with a dark gold mold for high-explosive bullets. The mold was capable of inscribing a sputtering rune on the bullets, while the bullets were made of soft metal.
When the bullet struck an object, the soft metal warhead would split apart under the effect of the sputtering runes and its own material, tearing open a huge hole in the bullet point. It was an alien version of a dummy bullet.
Of course, although this kind of high explosive bullet was extremely destructive to organisms, it also sacrificed its armor piercing ability. If it was used against some high-armored targets, its penetrating power would be inferior to that of purple armor piercing bullets.
Thorn had already been used by Qin Lun. To his delight, the wood element affinity of the Moonlight Fairy bloodline had actually increased the skill level of Thorn. From D + level to C level, the energy consumption increased from 20-50 points to 50-100 points.
By the time Qin Lun’s enthusiasm for training subsided, more than half of his fifteen days of rest had passed. In the second week of his return to the Shattered Star System, there was no news from Berylseth. The Abyss Devils finally agreed to his request and helped him find a suitable summoned creature.
For the sake of protecting the apostles’ privacy, Beelzebub invited Qin Lun to the devil race’s parliamentary camp at the Devil’s Corner.
“Sir Qin Lun, you came at the right time. We have prepared a contract formation for you!” Berylseth smiled as he welcomed Qin Lun to the ground. “Of course, before that, you should first see if you are satisfied with the contracted creature!”
In a spacious hall that could be called a plaza, the ground was carved with a huge blood-colored magic array. Several crafty mages wearing black magic robes stood around the formation. In the middle of the formation stood a demon five meters tall.
This demon’s entire body was filled with blazing flames. Its body made of lava flowed with dark red lava. Its horns pointed at the sky, and its scarlet eyes emitted ferocity that looked down on the world.
“This … you’re not referring to him, are you?” Qin Lun licked his dry lips and pointed at the high-grade Flame Fiend in the middle of the arena with uncertainty.
“Haha, of course not. Sir Munkins is here to preside over the contract formation. I’m referring to that little thing!” Berylseth burst into laughter and pointed at the demonic creature that the Flame Devil was holding in his palm.
