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

But the whole yard has become completely devastated, unrecognizable, it looks like ruins.

More than 80% of the building was damaged, and the roof was burnt through a lot, making it impossible for people to live anymore.

"Master... this is the estimated amount of specific losses."

Elena was ordered to count the losses and hand them over to the silver-haired girl.

Seeing the number above, the silver-haired girl almost fainted!

"So many? True or false."

She held the list with a pale face, as if she had seen a ghost.

"This is already the best estimate."

Elena's complexion was still a little bad.

But it was much better than before, and replied:

"Because we rented the furniture together, the furniture is basically all damaged now, and we have to pay for the money."

"Why is there no insurance in this world..."

The silver-haired girl sighed and sat down on the chair, holding her face and worrying:

"If there is, no matter whether it is full insurance or not, at least you don't have to pay so much."

She got a lot of gold coins from selling the relic crystal, but now her daily expenses are also increasing day by day;

If the indemnity was added, she might become a pauper again in a few days.

——Are you really going to sell JIA weapons to cheat people?

"Sorry, I don't have any savings either."

Angelina said embarrassingly at the side:

"All my income has been spent on purchasing alchemy materials and magic research... There is no way to leave it."

She is telling the truth.

Otherwise, Marquis Josephine's batch of pharmaceutical orders would not have to be completed in such a hurry, it was because she had no funds.

As for the meager salary of the academy, it is not worth mentioning at all, the alchemy industry is notoriously a bottomless pit.

"—By the way, if you win the martial arts competition, there will be a big bonus!"

The silver-haired girl put her hands on the table and stood up abruptly!

"what time is it now?"

She looked anxiously at the clock.

The time shown above is past 9 am.

The final of Wangli Academy is today!

Because of the matter of the man in black and the aftermath of the fire in the orphanage, she has been so busy since last night that she almost forgot that there is still a competition.

"Oops! It's too late!"

Now that the economic situation is worrying, she is reluctant to call a carriage instead.

What's more, the carriage may not run as fast as she herself.

Taking a loaf of bread from the table, she ran for the Colosseum, sword in hand!

The location of the arena itself is a bit remote, and she is still in the opposite direction, which means that she has to cross half of the urban area at once!

If her attributes hadn't been greatly improved, she would have exhausted all her strength just by running over, let alone fighting with others.

There is no need to worry about the safety of the children, and Angelina is a caring person, so she will definitely arrange everything properly.

Although it's a little embarrassing to grasp the coolies like this, but now she can't take care of so much.

"Lord Garcia—please wait!"

As he was running forward, Barry's panting voice came from behind.

"what's up?"

In order to take care of the frail alchemist, she slowed down and asked vaguely while biting the bread.

So it’s okay to be a magician!

You see, you can't even run fast.

"Didn't you ask me to search for the secret information of the Josephine family in the Marquis's Mansion? I found this weird map in a hidden underground darkroom."

Panting, Barry handed her an ancient item that looked like a scroll:

"There is a hidden magic imprint on this map... I found it very suspicious, so I went to investigate; I found that the place indicated by the imprint is an estate of the Benson family, and there is a deserted old castle there."

"The castle?"

The silver-haired girl asked suspiciously.

She didn't understand what the other person meant.

"I still have some contacts in the aristocratic circle, and I got a piece of information: Anthony Benson wants to bet with you on the final!"

Barry replied seriously:

"He wants you to be his guard... This is an opportunity, I think you can agree first, and then exchange the terms of the bet with him."

"You mean, let me bet on this castle with him?"

The silver-haired girl finally understood:

"Is there any advantage in doing this?"

"Of course, I'm sure there's something extraordinary hidden here!"

Barry said with bright eyes:

"The former property of the Benson family was not clean. This old castle is where they used to store secret materials."

"But thirty years ago, a terrible tragedy happened suddenly in the castle. It is said that some kind of invisible monsters appeared inside, often haunting at night, massacring the humans inside."

"Afterwards, the Benson family spent a lot of gold coins and hired several demon-expelling experts but failed to solve this problem. Gradually, the castle became neglected and has been abandoned until now."

"...Why do you ask me to have such a terrible place?"

The silver-haired girl shuddered.

This is a different world.

Places like relics, ruins, and deserted castles are definitely not places where the test of courage is held, and there are often real dangers inside!

"It is said that Antony's ancestor was [The Betrayer], who once made a contract with the Demon King!"

Barry lowered his voice, and put a silence barrier around the two of them:

"And the devil gave him a treasure that can connect to the devil world... I suspect that treasure is hidden in this castle!"

Chapter 76 I must be the winner today! (Dazhang begs to subscribe!)

——This guy used to have the same nostrils as the black-robed man, so he didn't mean to trick me, right?

Hearing the word "devil king", the silver-haired girl looked at Barry suspiciously.

However, the objects that were controlled in advance will all die suddenly when she uses the Shadow Confusion skill. This is the inevitable result of the conflict between two powerful spiritual dominations.

But Barry has always lived well, and has never disobeyed orders, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"ok, I get it."

She memorized the location of the old castle and returned the map to Barry:

"I'll consider the offer."

She has seriously reflected on the matter of the devil's curse.

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy will never end in a hundred battles, there is no need to blindly resist this kind of power, on the contrary, you should take the initiative to understand it.

What's more, I still have one of the most critical hole cards, and that is the existence of the system!

It is not yet sure whether the system can completely counteract the negative effects of the curse, but so far, she has not felt anything unusual.

"What's more, even if there are no treasures in that ancient castle... the land should be able to sell for some money, right?"

The silver-haired girl thought to herself.

——Now she has completely gotten into the eyes of money.

In the big arena.

The final of the martial arts competition started at 10 o'clock. Anthony Benson entered the arena early and received the cheers of everyone.

However, Miss Jian Ji, another favorite to win the championship, has never been seen.

"Could it be that sister abstained?"

The students in the audience are all whispering:

"Otherwise, why haven't you come yet?"

"It's very possible... I heard that Sirence's sword hurt her very badly, and now the senior sister has been recuperating."

"Strange, I've seen her these two days, she looks fine."

"What do you know! The senior sister deliberately pretended to be fine because she was afraid that we would be worried."

"Hey... Is this the end of today's game?"

A male student arrived with a sigh.

"No, even if it is a waiver, there should be a notice. Look at the referee's face."

His companion shook his head and said.

"Damn it, it's almost time."

The referee looked at the wall clock on the sidelines. This situation made him feel very tricky.
