The Unemployed Demon Lord

"That's not the case. It's not the pressure on me, but the trust in me. If you don't use the sharpest sword, it is no different from making iron with scrap copper!" Masefield knelt on the ground and said sonorously .

"I believe in your strength. If there is a good opportunity, I will let you come in handy." Queen Elizabeth said in a melodious voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Masefield bowed his head deeply, and secretly made up his mind to make Elgin the great swordsman pay the price, otherwise he would have no face to continue to be the number one knight of thorns.

"Both of you retreat for the time being, there is nothing for you here."

Queen Elizabeth waved her hands at Chapman and Masefield, seemingly having nothing to say.

"Masefield, it's hard for you to send the elf princess back to China this time, go back and take a good rest for a while."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Masefield bowed and thanked.

"Did he say anything to the Elven King when you met with him?" Queen Elizabeth asked.

"The Elven King thanked His Majesty for his assistance. If you need any help in the future, he will never refuse." Masefield replied respectfully.

"Hmph, a worthless favor..." Queen Elizabeth snorted coldly, and then said. "Back off."

Masefield and Chapman withdrew, leaving only Queen Elizabeth and Knight Commander Franklin in the hall.

"Franklin..." Queen Elizabeth called out.

Franklin hurriedly knelt down on one knee, looking respectful, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Don't look at me saying that Masefield is my most trusted knight, but Franklin, you are my real confidant. There are some things that are not suitable for Masefield to know, but you have no problem." Queen Elizabeth was very scheming Said, it is estimated that this sentence has been said to many people, and it is used to arouse the worship psychology of his subordinates.

Sure enough, Franklin was elated when he heard these words, "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty, my loyalty will definitely stand any test!"

"I know." Queen Elizabeth nodded, and continued, "You have also seen that I am now devastated by Elgin's great swordsman. How do you think I should deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, do you still need to ask? Of course, you must be mercilessly clear about the unstable factors beyond your control, especially the Elgin Great Swordsman. If he stays in your territory for a long time, it will be a disaster sooner or later." , threaten your great rule." Franklin said very seriously, and seemed to be a radical.

"Hahaha..." Elizabeth let out a silvery laugh, clapped her hands and said, "You are indeed my confidant, your thoughts coincide with mine, and are completely different from some knights, and you are deeply in my heart."

"Your Majesty, thank you." Franklin shook his mustache, and his whole body floated up.

"That's right, the Great Swordsman of Elgin is already somewhat threatening my rule. Even the Thorn Knights have his admirers, so the number of admirers among the people of the entire empire must be even more difficult to estimate, so in Elgin Jin Dajianhao has become the money that subverts the empire, and it must be killed in the cradle!" Elizabeth spoke in a very cold tone, as if she had become a tyrant.

"Your Majesty, is there anything you can do?" Franklin asked cautiously.

Queen Elizabeth winked at the maid beside her, and the maid understood, holding a box and handing it to Franklin below.

Franklin was terrified, and slowly opened the black box, only to find that it was an ancient book in brown leather, which was filled with words from the former kingdom.

"This is?"

"This is the law code of the former kingdom. It records a lot of evil magic and some secrets in hell. It is the spoils we captured from Copperfield." Queen Elizabeth said with a blank expression.

Franklin was shocked, and stared at the broken ancient book in front of him with wide eyes. He felt that this thing was very precious. Just some ancient magic could drive the magicians outside crazy!

And now, this treasure of the former kingdom is lying quietly in front of him?It feels like a dream.

"Franklin, I'm going to give you a very private task..." Queen Elizabeth narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice.

"We are going to deceive the entire empire and create the strongest hero that Great Britain has ever seen..."

Chapter 3: Dark Tide

Knight Commander Franklin was stunned for a moment. He didn't hear what Queen Elizabeth meant, and felt very confused.

"The most... strongest hero?"

"That's right, to create the strongest hero in history, to represent our supreme kingship, so as to consolidate my rule." Queen Elizabeth's eyes darkened, and she didn't know what plan was brewing in her heart.

"Hmm..." Franklin felt that Her Majesty was playing a big game of chess, and could the strongest hero be created at will?Most of them need a social environment and current situation, "So, Your Majesty, what are you going to do? Do you need my help?"

"That's right, I need you to carry out this private mission, be careful to conceal your identity, and don't tell this secret to anyone, including your most trusted relatives..." Queen Elizabeth looked down and asked in a serious tone, " Franklin, can you make this day?"

Franklin looked serious, and suddenly hammered his chest with his fist, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I swear that I will use my life to protect this secret, and I will never let anyone know about it!"

"Very well, Franklin is indeed the person I trust the most." Queen Elizabeth nodded with satisfaction, and continued, "I heard the praise of the ghost in the Dark Adventurers Guild, and I have been looking for a way to bring people back to life, right?"

"Eh?" Franklin looked surprised, wondering why Her Majesty the Queen suddenly brought up this matter, "That's right, this group of evil forces has been lurking in the dark, and the activity of praising ghosts is even more frequent. Looking for a way to bring people back to life, trying to resurrect the president who died in the crusade against the giant monster of the North Sea more than 30 years ago, Palmer, the ghost of the flame... "Then, let's start the mission..." Queen Elizabeth went straight Looking into Franklin's eyes, he said seriously, "I don't care what method you use, you must contact the people in the Dark Adventurers' Guild, and give them the code of the former kingdom."

The air in the entire hall stagnated, there was not a single sound, and a needle could be heard

"Uh?!!"

Franklin's eyes widened, his mouth couldn't close for a while, and he couldn't understand what Queen Elizabeth said.

You must know that the Dark Adventurers Guild is an extremely dangerous existence for any country, just like lawless terrorists.

They don't have any restrictions, they can do whatever they want, as long as they have enough interests, they can do almost all kinds of evil.

Many countries have listed them as targets of crusade, and they are absolutely not allowed to exist.

However, they have no fixed place to live, and they are used to moving around for missions, which resulted in the failure of several crusades.

Among them, Hao Gui's praise is extremely special, even though the president is dead, he is still famous.

This is all thanks to the outstanding talent of Swinburne, the son of the chairman praised by Goblin.

Swinburne, who became the acting president, did not let the guild recover from a setback, on the contrary, it developed even more vigorously.

However, Swinburne did not give up his ambition of resurrecting his father and leading the ghost to return to the top.

This is such an extremely dangerous evil force, Queen Elizabeth now actually wants to assist them in fulfilling their ambitions? !

Franklin couldn't understand what Her Majesty the Queen was thinking. Isn't this kind of behavior of assisting the evildoers courting death! ?

"Your Majesty, you... are you kidding me?! You want to give this book of the former kingdom's law code with the secret of resurrection to Haogui for praise!?"

"I'm not joking, but serious. Do you have any opinions?" Queen Elizabeth looked contemptuous, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with her decision.

"This..." Franklin could see that Her Majesty the Queen had made a decision, but he had to remind him of something in this situation, "Your Majesty, please think twice, the Dark Adventurers Guild is full of vicious people, and their greed is probably not Money is so simple, it cannot be ruled out that it will be detrimental to the empire, so we must not have any cooperation with them, this is seeking skin from a tiger!"

"Franklin, please calm down first. We are definitely not cooperating with the ghosts to praise them, but to use them. Do you understand what I mean?" Queen Elizabeth said calmly.

"Use?!" Franklin was stunned, and said with a puzzled expression, "If you hand over this former kingdom's law code to the rich ghost, you will surely breed tigers. Such behavior is tantamount to digging your own grave, Your Majesty!"

"It seems that your brain is not bright enough, Franklin..." Queen Elizabeth showed a smile that was not a smile, as if she looked down on Franklin's timidity, "It seems that we are indeed helping the ghost to realize his ambition. , but in fact this is an essential step in the plan, to set up the most magnificent stage for the birth of the strongest hero..."

"Your Majesty means..." Franklin faintly sensed something, but he couldn't tell.

"We gave the codes of the former kingdom to the ghosts to praise them, to help them realize their ambitions, and then we continued to publicize the threat of the dark adventurer guild to the empire, causing panic among the people. When their fear reached its peak, it was the heroic stage. Good moment..." Queen Elizabeth said confidently.

Franklin's eyes widened, and he instantly understood what Her Majesty the Queen wanted to do, "Then we will personally kill the giant ghost salute, and bring the royal family's reputation back to its peak!?"

"That's right, that's it. Elgin's activities in the empire have seriously interfered with the status of the royal family, so we must take action." Queen Elizabeth nodded.

"But...but it's not good to have something to do with the Dark Adventurers Guild?" Franklin hesitated.

"In extraordinary times, when we do extraordinary things, what we care about is the result. As for the process..." Queen Elizabeth raised the corners of her mouth and said calmly, "Who cares about such things?"

"Uh..." Franklin was at a loss for words, and it was difficult to give any advice on Her Majesty's remarks.

"As long as my plan succeeds, the status of the royal family will return to its peak and will not be easily shaken. It will be even more dazzling than before. How much trouble can a single wanted criminal cause? Hehe..." Queen Elizabeth let out a series of chuckles , continued, "We will use the facts to tell our people who is the most trustworthy patron saint of the empire..."

"Your Majesty's method is really clever, but who can represent the royal family to become the hero of the empire?" Franklin no longer had any doubts, and felt that this plan was feasible.

"The most suitable candidate is of course Masefield, the strongest Thorn Knight in the empire." Elizabeth said seriously.

"But..." Franklin seemed to be hesitant, "There are so many strong people in the praise of the ghost, and the acting president Swinburne is known as a monstrous magician, and after we hand over the code of the former kingdom to them, I am afraid that the extremely terrifying The president is about to return to the present world, I am afraid that Master Masefield alone..."

"It's not that simple. It will be resurrected. According to the records in the former kingdom's law code, there will be a lot of movement in the resurrection ceremony. We will find out first, and then we will send Masefield to succeed in the crusade before Palmer's resurrection. As for Acting President Swinburne? I think Masefield has no problem dealing with him, I trust my knight." Queen Elizabeth said calmly, planning everything long ago.

"Then..." Franklin raised his head and asked tentatively, "Shouldn't Lord Masefield know about this matter?"

"Masefield is too decent a man to agree to these things, so it is best to keep her in the dark," Queen Elizabeth explained.

"Understood Your Majesty, I will do it now, and I will fulfill my mission!" Franklin saluted as a knight.

The undercurrent of the empire is surging, the conspiracies are intertwined with each other, and it is no longer peaceful...

Chapter 4: Monthly Ticket Addition

Wales, Wrexham.

It has been half a month since Merlin and Alice came back.

Cecilia also kept her promise and put 20 gold coins into Alice's bank account.

Counting the deducted debts and some taxes, Alice and Merlin got close to 6 gold coins.

Excluding the monthly rent of 5000 gold coins, the remaining money is enough for Merlin and Alice to live comfortably for a long time.

Even the landlady who came to collect the money was very surprised, because Alice paid the money very happily this time without encountering any setbacks.

According to the previous agreement, the landlady gave Merlin and Alice the couple's price, and the rent was halved.

This moved Merlin very much, and felt that the landlady was a good person, and then Merlin didn't have a penny of the remaining money, and it was all withheld by the evil Alice.

Of course, Merlin knew that his reward was separate from Alice's. Logically speaking, he should get half of the reward.

But Alice, a vampire, used various reasons to oppress the poor and lower-middle peasants, saying that the money handed over to Merlin would be thrown into the racetrack, which was tantamount to wasting.

And living together will always encounter various accidents. What kind of venture fund needs to be established, and the two of them put all the money they earn in it, and whoever needs it urgently can spend it.

No matter how beautiful and gorgeous Alice said, it could not conceal her nature of money lover and the fact that she occupied Merlin's assets.

Because in the end Alice talked about community property, and it turned out that most of the money she earned was kept in his hands.

In the end, Merlin was not without gains. The income of tens of thousands of gold coins was only 100 gold coins in his hands, no more.

Merlin was very upset about this, and angrily resented Alice, the stinky landowner, almost throwing her out, and then beat the local tyrants to divide the land.

Anyway, I have contributed the most to this mission, right?As a result, Alice, who seemed to be the paddler of the whole audience, actually monopolizes the rewards, is it really unreasonable? !

Merlin felt that it was very unfair, the last time he had 100 gold coins, right? [-] gold coins are sending children away! ?

However, Alice's attitude was also very tough, no matter how violent Merlin's verbal attacks were, she remained indifferent.

Alice thought that the bastard Merlin had set her up so badly, so now she must make up for herself, right?Otherwise, what a disadvantage!

Where are you now?I have suffered far more than Merlin thought, so how could it be so easy to let go of the past?Never relent when dealing with demons!

So even though Merlin's throat was smoking, Alice did not compromise, and then hid in the room to sleep.

However, the next day, as Alice expected, Merlin was thrown into the Royal Racecourse even though he only had 100 gold coins.
