Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 296: Wooden Butt

Chapter 296: Wooden Butt

For Lin Xiao, there was no such saying as not having enough of a level.

Recently, he was just idling at home with nothing to do but sleep, so hes accumulated a lot of magic power. He already had the strength of an advanced seventh-level magician, he was soon to break through to the eighth-level.

It was just a mere refined magic stone, it wasnt like it was some treasure or anything, so any seventh-level magic could easily blow it up. He would never admit defeat and do something like pay to get certified.

However, he didnt want to reveal his true strength just with something like this. There was no point in shattering their worldviews.

He was only here to get certified then randomly choose a mission to placate Elena cough, no, not placate, but carefully choose an important mission and help Elena start investigating about the traitors!

Um are you the manager here? Lin Xiao asked.

Thats right, Im Hebrew, who are you? Hebrew was a bit surprised when he appeared.

His calm demeanor also made him feel strange, although he appeared to be polite, he couldnt detect any flattery from his eyes. It felt as if he was just talking to a passerby that wasnt worth mentioning.

A passerby?

Indeed, Hebrew had the right feeling, in Lin Xiaos eyes, he was but a normal NPC passing by

Im Lin Xiao, a student from Loran Academy, this is my badge, I want to get certified.

Lin Xiao took out his badge and briefly introduced himself and wanted to start the challenge.

Okay, the rules are the same, you pass as long as you can knock down the stone doll with magic. Hebrew impatiently pointed at the blackish stone doll then disdainfully said, If you fail, dont try to find excuses like that dumb kid.

Hehe, I wont.

Lin Xiao chuckled and brushed it over, he turned to look at Lin Tian who looked like he wanted to leave, but also didnt want to leave. As well as Yao Zi who was holding her brother and looked at him full of expectation, hoping that he would help them.

Both of them were like him and had black hair and black eyes, especially Lin Tian, who looked similar to him, I guess they technically have the same ethnicity? But Lin Tian was half a head shorter and his eyes were full of vigor, he looked like an energetic youth, unlike himself, who looked like an unmotivated good-for-nothing.

Regarding them, you couldnt really say that he liked them, but he didnt dislike them either.

Although he had some conflicts, they never ended up harming his interests, so he didnt mind. The sister Yao Zi was also gentle and kind and made him feel very comfortable, like the warmth of a neighborhood older sister, dumb and cute, as for her little brother Lin Tian he may not be that mature, but at least he isnt a bad person, so if he can help, Lin Xiao wouldnt just be a bystander and was willing to put in some effort.

Furthermore, those werent the only reasons

Dont forget, Yao Zi had the rarely seen Wizards bloodline! As someone who loves magic techniques, he wanted to befriend Yao Zi, so he would have more opportunities to experience just how powerful it is!

Of course he didnt want to befriend her because she was beautiful, had a great figure and was gentle to boot! He was purely interested in magic!

Cough Hebrew, although I dont believe their words, and dont think you did anything in secret, can you explain how the stone doll was configured so that it would be able to be knocked down with fifth-level magic? Lin Xiao earnestly asked and blinked innocently at Hebrew.

That

Hebrew hesitated, he didnt want to say too much originally, but since Lin Xiao asked earnestly and it wasnt a secret in the first place, he had no reason to hide it.

The inside of the stone doll is actually empty, its stuffed with wood.

Wood?

Yes, wood.

Hebrew spoke while leading Lin Xiao towards the side of the doll, planning to explain it clearly.

When they saw that, Lin Tian and Yao Zi looked at one another and also followed them over.

They couldnt see anything from the front, but it all became clear when they went around to the back!

Just like Hebrew said, that doll wasnt completely made out of refined magic stone, the round butt was stuffed full of wood and appeared to be a dark brown, with several having some strange dark red patterns, which contrasted with the black refined magic stone.

Take a close look, this is wood!

Hebrew coldly snorted and kicked the stone dolls butt several times, making a clear crisp sound. Which sounded completely different from the deep thuds that were made from kicking stone.

The stone doll was a specially made tool by the alliance, it was carefully sculpted to be hollow and filled with wood. So it wasnt a stone doll anymore, but a wooden doll, just one draped with a layer of stone clothes made from refined magic stone.

Since only the outer layer was made from refined magic stone, so the amount of magic power it could absorb was greatly reduced, so beginner fifth-level magic was able to knock it down.

I see.

Lin Xiao nodded, seeing through it but not revealing it. Lin Tian and Yao Zi on the other hand didnt see anything weird. They unhappily pursed their lips and stood to the side and prepared to watch Lin Xiao.

According to what Hebrew said, that could already prove that he didnt do anything, but was that true?

If he didnt, how could Lin Tian and Yao Zis magic not be able to knock the stone doll over?

He secretly gave Elena a look and got her indifferent gaze in return, along with a laugh of contempt.

Petty tricks.

Through their mutual understanding, Lin Xiao was able to get the answer from her laugh.

Thats right, the problem was with the wood!

With Elenas magic radar ability, she could clearly perceive the magic circles engraved on those pieces of wood. It greatly increased the magical resistance of the refined magic stone, it was painstaking work, and that wood wasnt normal either!

Its Copper bloodwood.

When she saw Lin Xiao looking at her, Elena understood and reluctantly whispered to him.

It was normal other people wouldnt recognize it, since it was a rare tree that grew in the Forest of the End. It was difficult to chop down because of demons and the treacherous terrain, so there was very limited supply, so it was also very expensive, so it was rarely seen in the human world. But Elena was extremely familiar with it, when she saw that dark brown wood with dark red patterns, she immediately recognized that it was Copper Bloodwood.

The main difference between Copper Bloodwood and normal wood was that it had a strong affinity with magic, so it was normal used to make magic tools or traps and so on Now, Hebrew engraved a magic circle along with refined magic stone to create a stone doll that was extremely resistant to magic.

Based on Elenas initial estimations, there was no way fifth-level magic was enough, it had to be at least sixth-level!

So, what are you going to do heh.

Elena gently laughed as she watched Lin Xiao with great interest.
