"Five, fifty thousand pounds."
Christina flipped through the terms and quickly found this item, with the amount of liquidated damages clearly written on it.
She is still in school and has not saved that much pocket money at all, nor has she inherited part of the family business like her brother.
If you ask for money from your family members and say that it will be used to fire Rocky's housekeeper, all the family members who are obsessed with Rocky will definitely not agree!
The housekeeper took the contract back from the stunned Christina and put it back in the box.
"Then Miss Christina, my work is over for today."
Lan Qi put on his hat and stood sideways in the dusk, with a hint of smile in his emerald eyes.
"According to the treaty, any family member can occupy you for up to two additional hours per week. You can also participate in competitions as a servant of our family. Then you come with me to play in the competition!"
Christina summoned up the courage to shout.
She remembered every piece of information she had just seen on the employment contract to the best of her ability.
Even though she had never won any money in the Huadu Demon Competition, Rocky also seemed to have little fighting ability.
But she just wanted to make Rocky suffer a little, and then be overwhelmed and take the initiative to terminate the contract.
Even if Rocky could guess this kind of thoughts, she had only this option.
"..."
"Okay, let's go then."
Lan Qi said with a smile.
As long as it is a contract, he will not violate it.
Chapter 675: Lan Qi’s Abuse of the Dish King
On a midsummer night, some people say that the sparkling stars are the eyes of the gods sitting high in the sky.
In the 6th district on the north shore of Parrieux, the capital of Poisson, the St. Silver Vine Arena is about 25 kilometers away from the center of Parrieux and can be easily reached through the public transportation system.
As the designated location and multi-functional arena for the Huadu Holy Grail Familiar Competition, the Holy Silver Vine Arena is bustling all year round. Even if they are not employers and players, there are a large number of spectators who like to watch the competition here as a leisure activity, and even place bets. Make a small profit or reopen directly.
Its geographical location allows it not only to serve the competitive and cultural activities of the Parrieux region, but also to facilitate the visit of spectators from the entire Poisson Kingdom and even internationally.
But one kilometer further north is a deserted neighborhood.
Simply because the Holy Silver Vine Arena is very close to the entrance to the Posen Demon Realm.
Passing through the door with the ancient space enchantment in the north, you can enter the Posen Demon Realm.
Areas 7 to 10 in the north of Huadu Parrieu are the demon world.
Ordinary Huadu residents will not go deep into the Posen Demon Realm after arriving around the arena. In the Demon Realm, humans are no longer protected by special laws, and demons are no longer restricted and cannot harm humans.
This Holy Silver Vine Arena is a building that is called a "realm" landmark to some extent.
At this time, at eight o'clock in the evening, more than ten familiar demon competitions were going on at the same time in many sections of the arena.
On the magic screen hanging in one of the branches, information about the players from both sides was being played.
[Rocky McCarthy vs. Borgonna Purley]
[Lodge, a contracted servant of Count Baptiste’s family, 9 wins and 0 losses]
[Borgonia, a servant employed by the Stand Express Group, 173 wins and 21 losses]
On the screen, the player on the blue side with the dividing line is a man dressed as a butler with brown hair and green eyes, and the other player on the red side is a burly dragon warrior with wild eyes.
Many spectators were in the auditorium and stands of the arena, watching the game.
"Is this butler really a human?"
"He was brought in by the evil daughter of Count Baptiste's family and has won nine games in a row."
"I thought Miss Christina was here to torture him, but I didn't expect that she was here to show everyone the financial resources of Count Baptiste's family."
Many regulars of the Holy Silver Vine Arena were talking about it.
Countess Christina Baptiste is not well-known in the world of familiars and demons. On the contrary, her brother is relatively well-known within the circle.
Under normal circumstances, the Earl of Baptiste family would have Young Master Kyle lead the demon servants into battle.
Since Mr. Kyle doesn't pay much attention to the strength and training of his servants, his record is not particularly good.
It's just that because the basic quality of his followers is so high, he can still win sometimes.
The main focus is on brainless krypton gold.
Today was the first time they saw Young Master Kyle's sister personally bringing her servants to participate in the competition.
And this time, he brought a human butler.
"It's started, it's started."
An unknown voice came out, and the eyes of the audience in the stands once again turned towards the crystal screen hanging in the branch library.
This is already the steward's tenth battle tonight.
The Baptiste family's already extraordinary reputation and winning streak quickly attracted attention.
This time, his opponent is far greater than any previous one. He will be fighting against the familiar, the demon dragon Borgonia Perli, who has played nearly 89.17 games and has a winning rate of %.
At present, both sides have entered the [Infinite Phantom Canyon] at the artificial shadow world startup terminal, and are starting a one-on-one battle on random terrain.
The highest-standard startup terminal in the Holy Silver Vine Arena can support dozens of competitive matches at the same time, and this one is obviously attracting the attention of more and more current regional audiences.
Many people think that no matter how strong he is as a newcomer, it will be difficult for him to defeat such an opponent.
"It's because he won too quickly that he met a veteran like Borgogna."
"A sixth-level pure-blooded demon is still a demon dragon. Ordinary sixth-level demons can't fight him."
Amid the discussion, the screen showed a rugged mountainous terrain.
Steep rocks and protruding mountains form a natural arena, dotted with sharp rock-cut rifts and unpredictable traps.
In the distance, winding mountains cast long shadows in the moonlight.
The screen glanced at a man with brown hair and green eyes wearing a butler's uniform.
His posture was elegant and calm, as if what he was about to face was not a battle of life and death, but a daily tea party.
Facing him was a huge dragon warrior with a desire to kill.
One minute of preparation time passed.
The moment the battle horn sounded, the original power in the body of the Demonic Dragon Warrior was stimulated. His body began to twist and deform, his muscles expanded, his skin turned into scales, and he transformed into a huge black dragon, spreading its wings and flying into the sky.
As soon as the battle began, the dragon warriors cast their clan's unique dragon transformation magic.
There was silence in the audience area, everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen, and their heartbeats almost accelerated at this moment.
The black dragon's agile body was seen circling in the air, bringing up gusts of wind. Its claws flashed with the light of death, and its open mouth let out a deafening roar. Its wings flapped, bringing up an undercurrent, and it attacked at lightning speed, directly attacking the butler who seemed powerless to resist.
The audience watched with bated breath, secretly thinking that the outcome of this battle might be decided in the next moment.
however.
Just when the dragon's shadow was about to engulf the butler.
The butler just raised his hand gently.
The invisible force seemed to grasp the ferocious dragon tightly with invisible hands, making it unable to move.
The originally menacing black dragon was no longer flying freely, but hit the ground heavily.
It was so quiet in the stands that you could hear a pin drop.
Then, the giant dragon struggled a few times, and found that its body seemed to be bound by thousands of pounds of chains. No matter how hard it tried, it could not break free from the invisible spiritual power of the chains.
It could only roar weakly, its claws softened, and it lay heavily on the rugged mountainous area. Dust was flying, and the wild light in the dragon's eyes gradually dimmed. Its head slowly lowered, and it fainted.
After a few seconds, the dust settled, and the giant dragon lay helplessly on the ground and gradually turned into a point of light, and was sent out of the artificial shadow world.
For a moment, the audience outside the screen burst into deafening exclamations. Their expressions changed from shock to enthusiasm, and they all cast admiring glances at this seemingly inconspicuous butler.
"Today's game was exciting!"
"Who else wants to challenge him!"
It was okay to defeat weak opponents before, but this time when encountering a truly strong player, it was better to kill them instantly.
At first no one thought that this poet-like gentleman would possess such amazing strength.
As the dust of the battle settled, the steward walked out of the rugged mountain arena at an extremely leisurely pace and emerged from the void door opened by the magic device at the end of the artificial shadow world.
He walked slowly towards the rest area.
"How about it, now you know how powerful I am."
Thalia's thoughts echoed in Lan Qi's heart.
"Indeed, you are most useful now."
Lan Qi replied to her in his heart.
"Why... did you add 'now'?"
Thalia's voice gradually cooled.
"Because! 'Now' is the most important thing."
Lan Qi quickly replied with his heart.
He is definitely not an old Onmyoji, so how could he just use the Onmyoji when nothing happens?
"..."
Thalia thought for a while, fell into a dormant silence, and stopped pursuing him.
Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Unsummoned Thalia can also rely on him like the Love Bard, controlling the use of part of his body and casting spells.
Although the power output is greatly limited in the state of possession, Thalia's possession and the love poet's possession are completely different concepts.
