As a Sword Saint, I Want to Be a Demon King

Then he put an old envelope and a small box full of dust on the table, and said to her:

"It is a relic of your grandfather... I think it is time to give it to you."

"My grandfather?"

Ai Wen picked up the envelope and looked at it, then asked in puzzlement:

"Why give it to me directly? Instead of giving it to my father?"

"Because your father doesn't have that qualification."

The headmaster replied bluntly:

"There is no corresponding strength, but you are different."

"—this box is also a relic of your grandfather."

He also pushed the box in front of the silver-haired girl, and said with a serious expression:

"Read that letter first, and then decide whether to open it."

Chapter 18 Things got exposed?

Opening the letter paper, the handwriting on it was very scribbled, as if it was written in an extremely disturbed state:

"I found the relics left by my ancestor Fan Lun Garcia in the underground darkroom of the old house..."

The letter described:

"But the appearance of the relic crystal is completely different from the record, which makes me both surprised and at a loss;"

"After the excitement and excitement, I inspected it closely and found that the crystal contained a very terrible curse."

"I understand what that means."

"This means that while I absorb the power of my ancestors, I will also absorb the dark energy inside!"

"I don't know why such a horrible thing happened, but I think it's a disaster, and it's also a trap for the Garcia family;"

"If we who have the blood of heroes fall into darkness, I can't imagine what the consequences will be!"

"I can't bear to destroy the ancestor's relic, but I must put it in a place where others can't find it..."

The whole letter is not long and the content is very simple.

But after the silver-haired girl saw it, she seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar:

She already knew about the pollution of the relic crystal, but she had never seen this warning letter.

Obviously, this letter was artificially hidden.

She raised her head, the Headmaster still had a smile on his kind face.

But she already vaguely felt that there was some kind of unfathomable danger hidden behind the smile.

"There's something I can't figure out."

The principal said in a gentle voice:

"What exactly are you selling in that blacksmith's shop in the underground market?"

He put his hands on the table and asked seemingly casually:

"That thing allowed you to buy 7 expensive magic items, 4 sets of luxurious equipment, and 3 well-made weapons... and some expensive sundries."

"The value of these goods adds up to almost 300 gold coins, which is a lot of money."

Having said that, his eyes sparkled:

"I know your financial situation very well. Even if you mortgage that old ancestral house, it is impossible to collect such a huge sum of money."

At this moment, the silver-haired girl's mind "boomed"!Several thoughts came through at the same time:

——Do you want to turn your face and fight immediately?

——Or run away from here immediately and leave the capital?

—or just confess everything and resign yourself to fate?

But in the end, all these thoughts were rejected by her.

If she did it, she wouldn't be sure about the principal alone, not to mention that there was a giant sword man with unfathomable strength nearby!

Escaping is also unrealistic. Poltain is a country of knights, and the capital is surrounded by a large field of wilderness. With her footsteps, she will never be able to escape the pursuit of the elite knights.

As for the confession...

She had an intuition that if she really did that, it might be worse than Cheap Daddy's death.

At this moment, imprisonment, human T experiment, torture, hot weapons... There are several words that need to be coded in someone's mind.

"If the headmaster already knew that I sold the relic crystal, he wouldn't do anything unnecessary."

She quickly analyzed the current situation:

"It can be boldly assumed that the background of Rex's blacksmith shop is stronger than I imagined. It is so tough that even the most powerful people in the kingdom dare not act rashly."

"That's why he made such a temptation to me."

"Since this is the case, there is still room for things to change for the time being."

Thinking of this, an idea gradually came to her mind:

—that is to muddy the waters!

And the muddier the better!

"I stunned Lake and found some treasures in him."

She replied calmly:

"I have to admit that the final value of those things exceeded my expectations."

"Lake? The old guy from the orphanage?"

The principal was slightly taken aback.

He didn't seem to expect that the matter would involve an orphan director:

"Why did you go to trouble him?"

"—because he wanted to have Wilbur killed."

The silver-haired girl said word by word:

"And he wanted to insult a friend of mine, and I was so angry that I hit him hard."

"You can find someone to investigate this matter, and Wilbur can also testify for me."

She looked at the principal calmly:

"Of course, it was my fault to take away his belongings without authorization. I admit this."

"No, these are small things."

The head of the school suddenly felt a little dizzy:

With his energy in the capital, how could he not know that there was a problem with that orphanage?

But the situation in the orphanage is quite complicated, especially when Wilbur is involved this time, the meaning behind the assassination is a bit different:

—Because Wilbur is a dwarf!

Moreover, he is an important figure in the family of copper-helmed dwarves who came to seek refuge in the Kingdom of Poltan!

There are many people who are dissatisfied with the settlement of dwarves in the capital, but no one wants to easily conflict with them.

If it weren't for these disgruntled people, then things obviously wouldn't be that simple.

"I have not yet received word of Wilbur's assassination."

He frowned and said:

"But I will send someone to ask, you stay here for now, after I come back..."

With an old fox like him, of course he wouldn't immediately believe the silver-haired girl's words.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct sufficient investigations before drawing a final conclusion.

"—By the way, I also discovered one more thing."

At this time, Egwen took out the small bottle containing the unknown potion, and gently placed it on the table:

"That's what I got at Lake as well, and I think it's an unusual source."

"Hmm... this is an alchemical drug."

The head of the school opened the bottle, checked it, and showed a thoughtful look on his face:

"It seems to have the effect of hallucinating the mind, but it won't hurt people. At most, it can only make the user fall into confusion for a period of time."

"I witnessed Lake's dealings with a masked man."

The silver-haired girl once again threw out a big news:

"This bottle was given to him by the masked man. I guess the other party is probably the murderer who tried to assassinate Wilbur."

"Does that person have any characteristics?"

The head of the school was moved.

"The speed is very fast, and the flexibility of movement is far beyond ordinary people. It should be a high-level assassin."

The silver-haired girl replied:

"And I think she's probably a woman."

Hearing the word woman, Gakuen's old wrinkled face suddenly tensed up.

Then slowly stretched out.

"You don't want to get involved in this matter anymore."

He slowly sat down on the chair and said in a low voice:
