Chapter 49 Dividing the spoils
Roland muttered to himself for a while, then said to Wallace, "Lord Wallace, when we entered the palace earlier, I suggested that we divide the treasures we found equally. I don't intend to go back on my word on this."

Wallace's eyes lit up, but then he quickly waved his hand and said, "Roland, I didn't help much in the palace. I can't be greedy. So I don't want them. After you sell these unused treasures, just give me some of the commission."

Although Wallace didn't dare to be greedy and ask for the rare items, Roland had made such a huge harvest this time, how could he take all the benefits for himself?

It will make people jealous.

As the MT and MVP who save the team, you can indeed take some things first, and you can also steal some things.

But when you're all in a dungeon together, even if someone gets killed instantly when fighting the boss, you can't just steal everything. Besides, they gave you a lot of advice and even gave you a push before they died.

This time, Wallace was killed instantly by the BOSS and was saved by himself.

Next time, if I have the chance to go out with him again, I will expect him to save my life if I get into trouble.

Only by dividing the spoils reasonably can the relationship last.

So, Roland didn't say much and immediately took out all the strange objects.

He confessed that the pocket watch, wizard hat, magic wand, lantern, and demon stone were his personal spoils after killing the demon alone.

So, he didn't share these things.

As for the Crucible of Bitter Sleep, Roland did not take it out, and Wallace was also very smart not to mention it.

There were quite a few items left, eight in total, and Roland asked Wallace to pick three.

Wallace was somewhat reluctant to let go of the 'reaper's altar' (a small silver basin), saying that this was all he wanted.

"Actually, there are a few good ones out there. Are you sure you only want one?"

There was some hesitation in Wallace's eyes, but he finally said that he was not greedy and only wanted this one.

"Okay." Roland threw the remaining seven items to Wallace and said, "You can keep them. After selling them, we'll split the magic stones in half."

Wallace was overjoyed.

To be honest, Wallace was a little jealous of Roland's gains this time. Although he said he didn't want any rare items, he liked money!
Therefore, although he only took one, he actually wanted more in his heart, but he knew he was not qualified to ask for it, so he did not dare to take it.

He had assumed Roland had simply given him a piece of junk and dismissed him. But he hadn't expected Roland to split the rest equally. This far exceeded Wallace's expectations. He immediately declared, "Brother Roland, you're truly loyal. I'll definitely be your friend."

"Brother Roland, to be honest, I've spent all my savings on the young lady's affairs over the past few years, even dismantling my own altar! I was embarrassed to ask for this money, but I desperately need it to make a comeback. You've solved my urgent need."

Wallace was very happy. He thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I won't covet your Reaper's Altar either. Let's split the eight items equally. I'll give you one item as compensation for the altar money."

As he spoke, Wallace took out a Hell Seal and threw it to Roland.

"You still lack a servant. There is a little devil in this mark. I'll give it to you. Although it's not a valuable item, it's hard to find on the market. And this is a demon with blood, not one of those brainless reptiles from hell. As a servant, this little devil is still quite good."

Roland held the mark in thought for a moment, then threw it back to Wallace.

He said, "It's not that I look down on this servant, but I have a request—that demonic book. Could you lend it to me for a few days?"

Wallace pondered for a moment and said, "You have a good eye. That book contains many secret techniques for imprisoning, sealing, and expelling demons. Compared to ready-made servants, this knowledge is the most valuable thing."

He took out the Demon Book and said, "Roland, strictly speaking, this book is not a book of knowledge filled with secret arts, but a 'blank book of slavery' - it can be used to enslave demons."

The Mark of Hell can enslave weak demons, but if it is a powerful demon, the Book of Demons must be used.

Therefore, this book is priceless. "I've actually sold this book to others many times," Wallace said with a smile. "But no matter who it ends up in, I can always summon it back to them—so, even though I gave it to you, you couldn't actually take it away, haha."

Roland was dumbfounded by Wallace's profiteer speech.

"Haha, don't worry, Roland. I'm lending it to you now, and you can use it as you please. Even if you lose it, I won't ask you to pay for it - because you can't lose it."

Wallace added, "But let's make it clear in advance: if you accidentally use this book to collect demons, I won't be able to sell it again. Then, you'll have to buy it!"

This devilish businessman was very serious when it came to money. He settled the matter very clearly with Roland.

Roland carefully accepted Wallace's Book of Demons and decided to copy the book as soon as possible and return it to Wallace.

The two then set off.

Wallace cast some spells to speed up their journey, and they left the fern forest in the afternoon.

When Roland and his companions first entered the fern forest, they entered from the east side. Now, when they came out, they left from the west side. According to the map given by the instructor, the magic circle was in the mountains outside the deep forest on the west side.

The two entered the mountains in the afternoon. When they were about to approach the magic circle, Wallace suddenly talked to Roland about the Demon Stone.

"Roland, Demon Stones are priceless. Exchanging them for Magic Stones or credits is a loss. So the best option is to exchange them for Demon Servants."

Wallace said, "But unless you have connections in Hell, it's hard to get good demon servants—I can help."

Roland became alert. He asked, "Brother Wallace, we are close friends. Just be frank. I don't think you would help me for free."

Wallace laughed. This profiteer had indeed set his sights on the Demon Stone.

"Roland, this time, the young lady's servants have all suffered, and I am the only one left. It will become very inconvenient for us to move around in the academy in the future."

"Although I hold a position in the academy, I have privilege but no power."

"You know, I have limitations in the human world, and it's difficult to advance. So the lady gave me two things."

Catherine gave Wallace two items: the flesh and blood of the Abyss Demon, and a certificate that allowed him to obtain the Demon Stone at a certain location. Each item allowed Wallace to advance once, and both items allowed Wallace to advance to a full wizard.

Wallace said, "Although I have the certificate for the Demon Stone, the Demon Stone is in short supply and there's a queue. If I go to queue up, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a year or two."

He was discussing these things with Roland because he was planning to buy Roland's Demon Stone. However, this guy didn't want to pay, he wanted to buy on credit.

"Roland, to be honest, I've long had my eye on the Demon Stone in your hand. It perfectly matches the flesh and blood of the Abyss Demon!"

"Don't worry, Roland! I won't let you suffer any loss!"

Wallace looked at Roland with sincerity and said, "My real body is in Hell. Once I gather enough materials to rebuild the altar, you can take whatever goods are in Hell!"

"I have some connections in Hell. As long as you give me this Demon Stone on credit, I will definitely help you choose a high-quality and obedient demon servant!"

Roland's heart was moved. If he had had a little brother to help him when he was fighting the abyss demon yesterday, he wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation.

"Can you really help me pick a good demon servant?"

Wallace said mysteriously: "I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

I'll update today, and the next chapter will be coming soon. Also, please give Roland a heart.
