Christina arranged for Sid and Zuo to stay at the mansion, and then followed Alexia to the house Sino had bought for himself outside.
Today was a rest day for the academy, so Sino was at home.
Beatrix, the War God, was also with Sino.
Milia was currently sparring with Beatrice.
Beatrice's talent was exceptionally good; she could already hold her own against Milia, not falling behind.
However, the two were only sparring in swordsmanship; if they used magic, Beatrice would be no match for Milia.
Moreover, if both unleashed their full power, the house here would likely be destroyed.
Beatrice's control over magic was still a bit lacking.
Of course, this was in comparison to Milia; if compared to others, Beatrice was still very powerful.
For example, she was more powerful than Alice.
Alexia led Christina through streets and alleys, getting further and further into a secluded area.
This place was far from the bustle of the city, a district with affordable housing.
The people here generally had low spending power, mostly belonging to the lowest stratum of the capital's citizens, struggling every day just to survive.
They lived a three-point-one-line life: going to work, buying groceries after work, and then returning home to cook.
Work, the market, home—their days were always this three-point-one-line routine.
Therefore, this area looked sparsely populated.
Precisely because of this, Sino bought a house here.
Because it was quieter here.
Sino could have bought a manor, but that would have been too high-profile and easily attracted attention.
Christina and Alexia arrived at Sino's residence.
Alexia took out her key and opened the door.
As soon as they entered, they saw Beatrice and Milia sparring.
Christina watched their sparring intently.
Their swordsmanship far surpassed her own; watching them spar, she felt her own swordsmanship had grown considerably.
Alexia pulled Christina over to Sino's side.
"Master, Christina said she also wants to become your subordinate."
"Master?"
Christina was momentarily stunned when she heard that.
She looked at Alexia; in front of outsiders, Alexia always appeared aloof and superior.
But now, she was calling a man "Master."
This was too much of a contrast.
"Is what Christina said true?" Sino asked.
"It's true! I want to become stronger! I want to grasp the future!"
Christina said with a very serious expression.
"Did you teach her that line?"
Sino looked at Alexia.
"Yes," Alexia replied.
"Do you know what 'grasp the future' means?"
Sino looked at Christina and said.
"Grasp your * *"
Christina's face immediately turned red after she finished speaking.
"Alexia, why did you tell her everything?" Sino said.
"Hehe, she's going to 'go into the sea' anyway; it's good for her to know early."
Christina lowered her head, her face slightly flushed.
As the eldest daughter of Duke Hope's family, she was very well-mannered and it was her first time saying something so vulgar.
"Come a little closer to me."
Christina obediently came before Sino.
Sino reached out and placed his hand on Christina's stomach.
There was no excess fat on Christina's stomach. It seemed she strictly controlled her figure.
Sino began to perceive Christina's body with his magic.
As a duke's daughter, her family ancestors must have produced some very powerful figures.
And Christina herself was not weak. It was very likely she was also a child of a hero.
Sino quickly sensed the Demon Possession on Christina.
Compared to the Demon Possession of beastmen and elves,
the probability of Demon Possession appearing in humans was extremely low.
This might be because the human hero Freya did something special.
However, no one knew any of this.
Sino began to control Christina's magic.
Thereby stimulating the Demon Possession within her body.
Making her magic more abundant and stronger.
Christina's feeling was very strange.
It was as if her magic was growing, and her body was filled with magic.
When the magic reached a peak, it began to riot.
Christina also felt that something was wrong.
She began to lose control of the magic in her body.
The mark of Demon Possession appeared on Christina's body.
"This is Demon Possession?" Christina exclaimed.
"You can control Demon Possession?"
"Call him Master!" Alexia reminded her.
"Master, can you really control Demon Possession?"
"Of course!"
As Sino's words fell, the Demon Possession on Christina's body vanished without a trace.
"If you betray me, the Demon Possession in your body will erupt and turn you into a true monster," Sino said.
Sino couldn't fully read a person's thoughts, and instead of spending a lot of time trying to understand her, it was better to give a verbal warning.
Sino wasn't very familiar with Christina, so he definitely had to mention the price of betrayal.
Smart people would not betray Sino.
At this moment, Christina felt her body filled with magic.
If she encountered the Sword Demon from last night again, she felt she could put up a fight.
Although she couldn't guarantee a win, she could definitely guarantee she wouldn't lose.
Next, she followed Sino into the room.
Alexia had already told her what she should do before they arrived.
After Christina entered the room, she covered her eyes. She was a little scared...
On the first day, one of the Thirteen Night Swords died. On the second day, two died. On the third day, three died.
Such a major event forced the Thirteen Night Swords to gather.
A clue was left on the playing card, the Six of Spades.
It said that the Clown would kill Count White tonight.
Count White was one of the Thirteen Night Swords.
He owned a White Manor.
That was a very large mansion in the capital.
Upon hearing the Clown so brazenly declare his intention to kill,
the Thirteen Night Swords took it very seriously, spending a large amount of money to invite many powerful individuals.
Such as the famous Magic Swordsman of the Bedal Kingdom, Gagano, the Lord of the Black Tower from the Lawless City, and other powerful individuals from various places.
To invite these people, the Thirteen Night Swords also bled heavily, spending no small amount of assets...
The seven living members of the Thirteen Night Swords gathered tonight in the arena beneath Count White's White Manor.
This place was not as open and honest as the Martial Heart Festival.
There was only blood and cruelty.
The Thirteen Night Swords watched the beastmen fighting in the arena with amusement.
They were all toys of the Thirteen Night Swords.
They could only desperately defeat their opponents to survive.
The Knights Order also dispatched personnel to guard Count White's White Manor.
After all, the Clown was running rampant in the capital, causing widespread panic, and people didn't dare to go out at night.
As an enforcement organization, the Knights Order also had to take action to eliminate this menace.
