The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Also... that's right..." Alice recalled that at the beginning, when she introduced Merlin as the Great Demon King, the people around her laughed, "What a waste of chance to be famous. If one of us is more famous, we will take over." A nominated commission with a good reward, like now, is wasted in vain."

"Isn't there still you?" Merlin said with a half-smile.

"Eh?!" Alice was stunned, unable to understand what it meant.

"If you have reached the holy rank, you are equivalent to a strong person, and you have a certain degree of persuasion in everything you do. I will give you a lot of credit, and your reputation will become bigger and bigger. When the time comes, you will be rewarded generously." Jobs will come to your door automatically.”

Merlin said confidently that he had already thought about the future god-making plan

Anyway, because of the relationship between the couple adventurers, I and Alice need to work together, whoever is famous is fine.

The common goal is to pay off the merged debts and become a free person without any pressure.

As long as Alice becomes a holy powerhouse, the credit can be piled on her, making her famous.

At that time, any celebrity or any prince or grandson will beg Alice to do things with money.

In this way, the situation that happened now was avoided. It was obviously a good opportunity to accumulate fame, but he could only give up eagerly.

"So, there is another way..." Alice suddenly realized, and clapped her fists, "But won't you be jealous?"

"Our debts are in a state of consolidation. Is it important who is more famous? All the money we earn is paid off together, and..." Merlin looked depressedly at the black iron adventurer around his neck to prove, "I don't have magic power and vindictiveness , It is estimated that I will never be able to advance to a high-level adventurer in this life, so I will not be able to accumulate fame and status at all, so I might as well give it to you, the higher your popularity, the easier it will be for us to make money, this is called mutual benefit."

"That's it..." Alice's eyes widened, thinking that Merlin, a black iron adventurer, would not be convincing even if he made a lot of contributions.

At this moment, another person appeared on the magic screen.

Wearing a tattered bauhinia battle robe and dusty silver armor.

The sky was bandaged all over, and he walked limping on crutches.

It was the only survivor, Chapman!

Soldiers in two rows raised their spears and saluted like a guard of honor.

Countless people threw colorful flowers towards the wounded knight.

Bella: "Friends in the audience! Our triumphant hero is coming towards us! The Bauhinia Knight who defended the country! But he is the only one who has returned. I don’t know what happened. Please follow our lens to interview this glorious Bauhinia Knight!"

Chapman trudged along Central Avenue with a cane, enjoying the false cheers and the triumphal ceremony of a show.

Looking at the overwhelming flower petals, chapman couldn't help but feel guilty.

I am not a hero, let alone a triumphant return.

I am a defeated knight who fled back with my tail between my legs.

The real hero is not me, let alone the Bauhinia Knights.

But...

Elgin's legendary great swordsman, that nameless strongman with transcendent strength!

(??ω????)

Chapter 13

Central Avenue in London seems to be performing a large-scale drama.

Flowers are sprinkled all over the sky, and fallen flowers are slowly falling down colorfully.

The road to the palace is covered with a carpet of flowers, and the cheers on both sides have never stopped since the beginning.

Chapman moved step by step, leaning on crutches slowly, feeling very uncomfortable.

He is an upright knight who strictly abides by the spirit of chivalry.

But now they have to cooperate with the royal family to perform this triumphant drama.

In order to make the glory of the Bauhinia Knights shine brighter, the image of the patron saint of Great Britain will be further rooted in the hearts of the people.

But now the Bauhinia Knights actually want to use lies to decorate, this is not a very honorable thing, it is full of despicable meaning.

Chapman feels that his current behavior has violated his original intention of joining the Bauhinia Knights.

Why join the Bauhinia Knights?

Of course, it is to become a part of the glory, to become a part of the Guardian Queen.

However, now he is involved in various interest disputes, enjoying the false flowers and applause, and insulting his chivalry.

No wonder more and more people

They are all willing to believe that the mysterious Elgin swordsman is the savior.

Instead of believing in the Bauhinia Knights, which can be touched with tentacle.

Now even Chapman is willing to believe that Elgin is the patron saint of Britain.

Chapman understands that Elgin's great swordsman symbolizes the purest justice, which is what the people need most.

He is not a high-ranking royal knight who likes to show off at all, he is not close to the people at all, he is not as good as an adventurer who is always on call.

Chapman thought of Elgin's back and remarks, and felt like a clown at this time.

Obviously, the applause and flowers belonged to that unknown strong man, but now they are being snatched by him shamelessly, which is against the honest and fair chivalry spirit.

Although Chapman is not very reconciled, but he is only a small captain, what can he do?

Merlin looked at Chapman on the magic screen with a blank expression. Looking at his complicated eyes, he couldn't help thinking, is this guy struggling in his heart?

Bella, a reporter from the London Post, had already memorized the interview manuscript in her heart, and waited in place in advance.

Seeing Chapman walking forward, Bella greeted him with the microphone and asked in a sad tone

"Your Excellency Chapman, why are you the only one who came back?"

"Because..." Chapman thought about the manuscript in his heart, and suddenly cried bitterly, "Because all the members of the No. 27 team who went to crusade this time, except me... all died!!"

Although the dialogues are all designed, Chapman's feeling of remembering his comrades in arms is real.

The cry was so sad that it made those who heard it feel sad and those who saw it shed tears.

"Audience friends, did you hear that?" Bella faced the camera with tears in her eyes, and her acting skills are worthy of praise, "Our heroes, the 27th Squadron of the Bauhinia Knights, whose mission is to protect the queen and the people, are all heroic Sacrificial on the border volcano in Scotland! They are young, many of them are not married, they might be virgins until they die! This is such a sad thing, hey..."

A sad atmosphere suddenly rose at the scene, and many people shed tears, pushing this triumphant performance to a climax.

"Your Excellency Chapman, what do you want to say to the audience friends?" Bella handed over the microphone again.

"Although I was the only one who survived in our 27th team, all of them were good. They fought desperately until the last moment. They had no fear or regret in the face of death, because we know that protecting all citizens is also our mission. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will die without regret, and I will inherit the spirit of my dead comrades-in-arms and continue to live strong!" Chapman burst into tears while showing a strong expression, giving people a sense of righteousness Feel.

The London citizens on both sides burst into tears, and even the guards couldn't help wiping away their tears.

"It's...so touching, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Alice was actually infected by the atmosphere, her face full of emotions.

Merlin looked at the cute Alice and thought, is this guy a fool?What an obvious show, but I actually believed it! ?How simple is it!

"Merlin..." Alice blinked her tear-filled eyes and asked depressedly, "Why didn't you save them when you came to save me?"

"It didn't come in time, what a pity..." Merlin sighed, and said lightly, "Didn't I tell you? Even if it's me, not everyone can be saved."

Alice lowered her head, with tears in her eyes, silently thinking, Merlin is right, no matter how powerful he is, he can't change his fate against the sky, if he doesn't become stronger, he will end up regrettable sooner or later ...

On the magic screen, Bella wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "My friends, this is the Bauhinia Knights known as the Queen's Sword. They symbolize the elites of Great Britain. Perhaps it is this glamorous appearance that makes the Many people misunderstood them as high-ranking knight lords, but now everyone has seen that in order to protect the safety of the kingdom, they are willing to sacrifice their precious lives. This great spirit of selfless dedication is definitely the patron saint of Great Britain!"

Not only at the scene, but even in the guild there was warm applause, and everyone whispered to each other

"It seems that the Bauhinia Knight is not so easy to be, and the awareness is so high."

"Worthy of the Bauhinia Knights, worthy of the name of the queen's sword!"

"Sure enough, the Bauhinia Knights are Britain's strongest shield..."

Merlin raised his eyebrows, feeling a little upset in his heart, what are you doing?Isn't my contribution completely turned into a wedding dress?

"Your Excellency Chapton, this crusade was led by the Ninth Thorn Knight Lord Sahardin, but this time he triumphantly failed to see that amiable Lord, could it be..." Bella continued to ask.

"That's right! Lord Sahadin, you have died heroically!" Chapman said loudly and sadly.

Everyone in the audience was shocked. In the eyes of the public, every Thorn Knight was a peerless powerhouse, but they also died in battle.

How tragic is this battle against the remnants of the former kingdom?

"Even... even Lord Sahadin sacrificed!? I didn't expect the enemy to be so powerful. He is obviously a very enthusiastic adult. We just chatted not long ago, and it is so sad to leave us like this. It's gone." Bella covered her mouth and cried sadly, "It must be that the battle is evenly matched, Lord Sahadin went all out to fight, and finally died with the enemy, right?"

According to the script, Chapman should answer "Yes!", but at this time he fell into hesitation.

Chapman struggled back and forth between interests and glory, and finally resolutely chose to defend the glory of the knight!

There is no other reason, if the purest justice does not get the praise it deserves, my fair chivalry will not allow it!

Chapman suddenly raised his gauze-bound face and looked at the camera with piercing eyes.

His serious answer to everyone turned the whole thing upside down

"no!"

"Master Sahadin was instantly killed by the enemy!"

"The real solution to this crisis is..."

"Elgin's Legendary Great Swordsman!!"

(?ì??í?)

Chapter 14: Monthly Ticket Addition

Alice's eyes widened, her expression was extremely surprised, and she couldn't believe the sudden reversal of the topic.

When he was imprisoned on the volcano on the Scottish border, did Elgin the Great Swordsman show up?

After thinking about it carefully, Alice felt that something was not right, there might be some misunderstanding

Could it be that the Bauhinia Knight regarded Merlin as the Great Swordsman of Elgin?

Well, it should be like this, very likely...

Sometimes, I will also overlap the back of Elgin the great swordsman with Merlin in a trance.

But although the two are a little similar, their consciousness is completely different, and they are definitely not the same person.
