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

"As for the question just now..."

At this time, a crystal pendant on his waist suddenly flickered!

The principal picked up the pendant and looked at it twice, his expression changed slightly.

"—Lake is dead."

He said in a deep voice:

"He was just found dead in his room."

died?

The silver-haired girl suddenly felt:

I don't seem to have laid such a heavy hand?

Why was that fat old man so careless, he died after a few hits?

"Don't worry, he wasn't killed by you."

The headmaster's face was a bit ugly:

"It should have been silenced."

"In short, things are a bit unusual."

He got up from his chair and walked to the door.

Halfway through, he stopped again, turned around and said:

"I'm sorry for the rude question...that box was indeed left to you by your grandfather, and you can open it now."

"What's in here?"

With previous experience, the silver-haired girl became extremely vigilant.

"Things that make you stronger."

Seeing her expression, a smile appeared on the principal's face:

"Don't worry, it's definitely not the cursed item written in that letter, but the inheritance that truly belongs to you."

Chapter 19 A Helper in the Dark

Open the box, and there is another crystal inside!

This crystal is no longer a pitch-black color, but a clear blue like the sea, but its size is also much smaller.

"Is there more than one Juggernaut inheritance?"

As before, she didn't directly reach out to touch it.

Still adopted the old method, kicked the surface of the crystal with a shoe, and soon a prompt popped up:

"—You found the Juggernaut inheritance fragments! Do you want to absorb it?"

What are fragments?

Egwene was a little strange:

It wasn't displayed like this last time, is it because the crystal is too small?

"absorb."

She didn't hesitate. After all, unlike humans, the system prompts will not lie to herself.

"—Congratulations on learning the skill: Blade Echo!"

"—Congratulations on learning the skill: Weakness Insight!"

A few lines of text appeared in front of her eyes:

——Blade Echo (Level A) LV70:

It is activated after drawing the sword once, and the sword returns to the sheath to make a shocking echo, which can make the enemy stiff.

Hidden professional special effects - Blade Echo · Impact:

Releases a dark force field around it, which can put all enemies within the range into a state of mental fear.

——Weakness insight (level A+) LV51:

Attacks can be aimed at the enemy's weaknesses, and the higher the skill level, the greater the chance of success.

Hidden occupational special effects - Weakness Insight · Shadow:

Can see the resentment left by the dead.

"This new skill directly has LV70?"

Seeing the introduction of the two skills, Ai Wen almost thought that she had read it wrong:

Shouldn't the new skills just acquired start at LV1?

Why are the two skills now one LV70 and the other LV51?

"And what the hell is [the resentment left by the dead in vain]?"

"Seeing resentment, is this a hidden skill?"

After studying for a while, she suddenly remembered a very bad thing:

Even if the principal didn't force Rex to question him, what about the five people who came to rob him last night?

Some of those five people should have seen her take out the crystal in the shop, and they would know that they lied if they asked a little!

Why did the principal believe his own words?

"—don't be too merciful, especially to your enemies."

Thinking of the advice given by the Headmaster not long ago, she felt extremely bitter in her heart:

"When it's time to strike, you have to be decisive...I'm really too naive."

An orphanage application was left on the table, and no one stopped her when she came out of the room.

Maybe the headmaster was really moved by her words and temporarily eliminated her suspicions, so he didn't restrict her actions anymore.

"Hu! Hu..."

There was the sound of a sword being swung from the backyard.

"That guy must be practicing swords."

Egwene thought to herself:

"It's better not to let him know that I have left, so as not to cause complications."

Avoiding the servants at work, she quietly climbed up a big tree in the mansion.

Then, while everyone was not paying attention, he successfully turned over from the wall under the cover of tree branches and leaves.

After returning to her home in the carriage, she immediately called the two maids to her.

"Which of you two is better at covert investigations?"

The silver-haired girl asked Elena and Pamela:

"It's the ability to conduct investigations quietly without being noticed by others as much as possible."

Elena and Pamela looked at each other.

After a while, the cat girl raised her hand hesitantly:

"It should be... I'm better at meowing."

She is a cat-human, and she is naturally good at hiding her whereabouts, which is much better than humans.

"Pamela is better than me in sneaking and investigation, and I'm good at assassination and tracking."

Elena didn't show any displeasure, and replied honestly:

"If the master wants me to kill someone, I have the confidence to do better."

"It's fine to kill."

The silver-haired girl sighed.

The person I want to hide is the head of the school.

Elena's strength may not be weak, but she will definitely not be able to make it perfect. By then, even a fool will know that the matter has something to do with her.

"How about this."

She thought about it carefully, and divided the work between the two maids:

"Pamela, go to the underground market to inquire about the news. I will tell you the specific location later."

"Eileen, don't stay at home anymore, go to the academy right now, mainly to inquire about the movement of the copper helmet dwarves."

"dwarf?"

Elena touched her cheek with some doubts, tilted her head and said:

"Master, those dwarf winter melons rarely communicate with humans, so it's difficult to inquire about them. Why don't I grab one and ask about it..."

"no!"

Egwene flatly rejected her proposal:

"Now the Copper Helm dwarves are a powder keg, and it will explode at one o'clock; you can't use any means to stimulate them, otherwise it will make things worse."

"If it doesn't work, you might as well go to Wilbur directly."

She pondered for a moment and thought of a way:

"He owes me his life. He probably won't refuse to see my maid. You can bring some good wine and ask him if he has offended anyone recently..."

Although it's not very polite to do so, but since the matter is urgent, I can't take care of so much.

After sending out the two maids, she tiredly climbed onto the bed.

"I hope to get some useful news."
