Chapter 244: – But You Won’
Woos brought a large group of people into the silver vault, and saw a loving pair of master and servant wiping their tears.
This place was supposed to be a sea of silver leaf fruits, but now there was pulp everywhere and the fruits were pulverized into the black dirt, like a night sky filled with sparkling lights.
It wasn’t just Loran Academy’s students, the four Bamboo Academy’s students were also lying there, but they only ones who were still conscious were Lin Xiao and Elena.
“Teacher Woos! Y-you finally came!!!”
When he saw Woos, Lin Xiao was moved to tears, even though he wasn’t even able to squeeze out a single tear with his botched fake crying, his heartbroken expression and grief-stricken cry really sold it.
“My god, w-what is that thing???”
“Wait, don’t come any closer, it’ll be terrible if they come back to life!”
Even it those Lesser Devils were already turned into lumps of meat, the soldiers still didn’t dare approach and were afraid those thing would just suddenly stand up. So they stood afar from the entrance and were hesitating on rescuing the injured students.
As for Woos and Momm, they couldn’t care as saving them was more important!
They anxiously rushed in and split up to work, Momm went to check on Caesar and Rosie while Woos kneeled by Lin Xiao and asked him about the situation.
“Lin Xiao, are you guys okay?”
“I’m okay, and so is my maid… but Caesar and them are heavily injured, please take them back to the camp!”
“Damn! Old man Woos, it’s pretty serious we have to treat them as soon as possible. That brat from Bamboo Academy is in an even worse state, it doesn’t seem like there’s an unbroken bone in his body… we have to get them out of here!”
Momm impatiently shouted after examining them.
“Hey! You bastards, stop just standing there! Are you just going to watch them die? Get over here!”
“O-oh!”
Even though Momm doesn’t have the authority to command the soldiers, but thanks to his bald head and appearance, the soldiers trembled from his yell and braved themselves, went around the monster corpses, and began the rescue effort.
“Lin Xiao, tell me, what happened?” Woos supported Lin Xiao up and asked worryingly.
“Sigh, I… I really don’t want to talk about it.” Lin Xiao made a show of being very much in earnest and shook his head, and made himself look like he was scared out of his wits.

“Sigh, teacher Woos, I’m scared, I’m so scared…”
“I really want to forget… but every time I close my eyes, that memory repeatedly plays in my head.”
“Why? Why did this happen to us!”
With a haggard face, blue lips and a miserable cry, Lin Xiao had one arm on his maid, the other with Woos, and started vividly depicting that ‘tragedy that he couldn’t bear to recall’.
Everything started with their search for the silver vault. They had thought it was the steps to win, but it ended up being the grave that would kill them!
“It was Anderson!”
When Lin Xiao remembered, he tightly clenched his fists, his gaze had a fleeting glance, and he started uncontrollably trembling.
“We arrived at the silver vault first under Caesar’s leadership, but we were ambushed by Anderson. A large number of monsters surged out from underground and Anderson ordered them to attack us!”
“That two-faced villain! He acts like an amiable Archbishop on the surface, but he was secretly conducting wicked human experimentation and creating terrifying monsters, Lesser Devils!”
“Those monsters were too powerful, even Caesar wasn’t a match! And I… sorry, I ran away to protect Elena.”
“Even if he had the powerful Dragon Slayer sword, he could only finish off a couple of those monsters, but there were still so many left and he couldn’t resist… sigh, it’s all my fault, if I was stronger, then I could’ve have fought alongside Caesar.”
Lin Xiao had a gloomy look as he tightened his fist and felt deep remorse for his escape.

Woos didn’t rebuke him and just helplessly sighed, and expressed his understanding.
Although he couldn’t fully grasp the true strength of the Lesser Devils, but if they could finish off Caesar, that meant they were at least sixth-level and since Lin Xiao was only a fifth-level magician, there was no way he could win with his magic.
So, who saved everyone?
Woos suddenly remembered that explosion, and the meteor craters he saw at the entrance to the remains.
That was undoubtedly seventh-level magic, Flaming Meteor! Only powerful seventh-level magic could easily finish off these monsters.
So, who casted the Flaming Meteors?
No one here could have done it… so did Lin Xiao lie?
“No, no, no, Teacher Woos, I wouldn’t dare lie!” Lin Xiao quickly denied it before Woos started suspecting him.
“So then tell me, who finished off those monsters? You’re all fifth-level magicians, so it’s impossible to use seventh-level magic… Lin Xiao, don’t tell me that it was your maid!”
“Her? No, no, a foolish cat… oh no, a foolish maid like that wouldn’t know magic. Teacher Woos, actually, it was Bamboo Academy that saved us!” Lin Xiao answered with sincerity.
“Them? Impossible! I’ve asked around about that Lin Tian brat and he’s just a slightly excellent fifth-level ice magician, he doesn’t have that strength!” Seeing through his lies, Woos gripped his arms and glared at him.
His anger was justified.
Lin Xiao was a smooth talker, and often lied to conceal the truth. That was how they were all fooled by the story he made up last time at Black Lake Forest. This time he had to be prudent and couldn’t be fooled easily again!
“Lin Xiao, tell me the truth! What happened? Did you really save everyone and you’re now purposely hiding it from us? … you brat, hurry up and tell me the truth! Otherwise I’ll hand you over to Momm and have him take care of you.”
Momm didn’t have as good of a temper as Woos, if he fell into Momm’s hands, then his head would be filled with bruises.
“Uh, teacher Woos, c-calm down, I didn’t lie!” Lin Xiao started sweating, but still looked innocently at Woos, “Listen… the person who finished off the monsters wasn’t Lin Tian, but his sister, Yao Zi!”

“What? Cough… you damn brat!”
Come on, there’s gotta be a limit to lying!
As everyone knows, Yao Zi was an idiot in magic, she couldn’t even complete a basic magic circle, so it was simply impossible.
This time Woos gripped his collar, but Lin Xiao didn’t panic and spoke of the truth.
“Teacher Woos, when I came back, I saw all those Lesser Devils being blown to bits! Yao Zi was next to her brother single-handedly pointing at those corpses… at that instant, I felt all the magic in the surrounding getting sucked dry and there was an intense magic power surging from Yao Zi, I couldn’t even approach!”
“Drained of magic?” Woos’s expression suddenly became grave.
“That’s right!” Seeing that Woos was hooked, Lin Xiao continued speaking, “I also don’t know why, but it seems like she could control the flow of magic as she pleases, so she could make the magic power exploded even without completing the magic circle!”
“What? Freely controlling magic power, not needing to complete the magic circle… Lin Xiao, are you serious?” Woos doubted it in the beginning but became more started as he listened, and in the end, his hand couldn’t stop trembling.
If Lin Xiao was right, then that Yao Zi girl should be…
“A one in a hundred million constitution, an innate genius magician that can freely control magic power. Could she have the Wizard’s bloodline?”
Woos revealed a teenage-like expression, he stared at the girl that was being carried away by the soldiers and his eyes were filled with burning desired.
Wizard’s bloodline!
My god.
That was what all the magicians on Eileen dreamed of. With it, they are the strongest born magicians and could freely control magic power without any practice.
Chants? Magic circles?
Those were just unnecessary burdens to them.

“Teacher Woos, what’s the Wizard’s bloodline, is it powerful?” Lin Xiao feigned innocence, but his heart was sprouting in delight.
Hehe, it’s done.
He turned around to sneak a smile and glanced at Elena like he was boasting of his acting skills. Elena looked at him disdainfully and rolled her eyes.
Was the Wizard’s bloodline powerful?
Of course. Even Elena who’s experienced a lot wouldn’t look down on people who possessed the Wizard’s bloodline.
Right now her bloodline hasn’t truly awakened, but one day, she’ll completely control her innate gift and become one of the strongest people in the continent.
At that time, even the demons would make her enemy number one!
However… there’s only a certain pervert that may be even stronger!
Even Yao Zi’s bloodline may be no match for Lin Xiao’s BUG ability, although she wasn’t sure, but she reckoned that if they fought, the crafty Lin Xiao would be able to beat the innocent Yao Zi.
So if we’re talking about enemy number one for demons, Lin Xiao should be first!
“I really should kill you, you pervert!” Thinking about that, Elena cursed directly next to his ear so that no one else could hear.
“Hehe, but you won’t.” Lin Xiao didn’t think much of it and casually answered.
“Eh? No, I…”
Elena recalled what happened and couldn’t help but get embarrassed and blush. She quickly put on a straight face and pretended to look around.
“Ah? No, um, I…”
Noticing her embarrassment, Lin Xiao realized what he said and also blushed, shifting his gaze away and pretending that he didn’t say anything. Please go to https://www.novelupdates.cc/Picked-up-Demon-King-to-be-Maid/ to read the latest chapters for free
