The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Really..." Alice nodded, thinking that although she was a bit reckless, she did agree with Mr. Carl's character.

"Eh?!" Rossetti was stunned, and asked strangely, "Why didn't Merlin come with you?"

"This..." Alice lowered her head, a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, but silently wrapped her clothes tightly around her body.

"This is a bit too much. You go to perform the task, and Merlin, as your husband, doesn't actually accompany you?"

Rossetti looked a little contemptuous, looking at Alice like a doormat, always felt that he should not talk about the couple's affairs.

But under the current situation, Merlin let Alice come alone, which made Rossetti feel very strange, and even felt a little sympathetic to Alice.

"Sure enough, it was a quarrel..."

"No... nothing, I wanted to come, and it has nothing to do with him." Alice hurriedly explained, not wanting to be misunderstood.

"emmmmmm..." Rossetti thought for a while, and felt that he was about to act, so it would be better not to meddle in other people's business, "Forget it, he's just a black iron adventurer, and he doesn't have anything to do with our actions."

Alice secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had passed. She raised her head and looked at the night sky covered by layers of dark clouds, feeling that it should rain tomorrow.

Next, it's up to me...

◇

The capital of Britain.

The queen's bedroom is still brightly lit, and it seems that none of the servants is resting.

Tapping footsteps echoed in the corridors as Masefield walked down the red carpet in elaborate armour, heading for Her Majesty's bedchamber.

Masefield had a dignified expression. It was the first time he was summoned urgently by Her Majesty the Queen at such a late hour.

If it weren't for the emergency in the empire, Her Majesty the Queen would definitely not have summoned herself at such an embarrassing time.

Normally, at such a late hour, the queen would have gone to bed long ago, so it would be abnormal for her to play with herself like this.

Masefield himself didn't know what the situation was, and he always felt that the matter was urgent, so it was better to see Her Majesty the Queen first.

Two maids slowly opened the gorgeous door in the distance, and then stood respectfully aside to welcome Masefield...

Come to the bedroom.

Masefield saw Queen Elizabeth, who was still asleep.

She was wearing a white silk nightgown, standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the royal capital being rebuilt.

Elizabeth already knew that Franklin was dead, but she didn't care at all, it was just a pawn.

Now all the plans are going well, as long as the play continues according to Elizabeth's script, a hero belonging to the royal family is bound to appear.

At that time, your position will be consolidated, and you will gain unprecedented appeal!

Elizabeth smiled as Keen's conspirator, feeling that things are getting better for her. Now she only needs to send Masefield to kill Praise the Goblin, and the hero's script will be brought to a perfect conclusion.

Masefield stepped forward quickly and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, I'm here."

"Didn't disturb your rest?" Queen Elizabeth turned around and said with an apology on her face.

"No, I didn't sleep either, and I didn't disturb my rest at all." Masefield said with trepidation, but his heart was warm.

"That's good." Queen Elizabeth nodded with a smile.

"I don't know why Your Majesty is looking for me so late?" Masefield raised his head slightly and asked seriously.

"There are indeed some things that require you to go as soon as possible, and there are certain dangers. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?" Elizabeth had a harmless smile on her face.

"As long as it is His Majesty's request, I will go through fire and water, and I will do it!" Masefield said in a sonorous and forceful tone.

"Very well, I am indeed my most trusted knight." Queen Elizabeth nodded in satisfaction, and helped Masefield up with her own hands, "Get up, there are no outsiders here."

Masefield stood up and asked seriously, "I don't know what your majesty's troubles are? Can you tell me?"

"I received a secret report that the extremely dangerous Goblin Tribute has settled down in the Wrexham area of ​​Wales recently. I heard that it is going to resurrect the very scary Goblin of the Flame 30 years ago, and then overthrow my rule. This is a great threat to our empire A very serious threat." Queen Elizabeth paused, and then said her mission, "So I hope you will rush to Wales before the ghost of the flame is resurrected, kill all these dangerous elements, and relieve the empire of this threat." next crisis."

Masefield bowed his head and responded without hesitation

"As ordered!"

◇

the next day.

It was raining lightly outside, beating on the eaves.

Merlin is still in a state of deep sleep, and usually Alice would kick his ass hard to wake him up.

And now because of Alice's departure, Merlin actually overslept! ?

But at this moment, the pain of heart atrophy suddenly became contagious, and after more than two months, this terrible thing broke out again!

Merlin on the sofa suddenly widened his eyes, "plopped" and fell to the ground, clutching his chest tightly to relieve the pain.

"Ah...hh..."

Merlin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he gasped frequently, thinking to himself, who was the strong man of the holy rank who was cut down last time?Oh, by the way, it's that black elf named Samuel.

I didn't expect to get sick in just two months. It seems that the good medicine is more frequent than before. I don't know if it is my illusion?

Merlin raised her head and looked at the house. It was strange that she didn't see Alice. Normally, if it was raining outside, Alice wouldn't go out.

He looked at Alice's closed door, wondering if the washboard had also overslept?So I never got up.

Merlin thought it was possible, so he endured the severe pain in his heart, stood up slowly, and then gently pushed open the door of Alice's room

not in...

Merlin frowned, feeling that something was a little abnormal. He caught a glimpse of a note on the desk, as if Alice had left it for him on purpose.

Merlin hesitated for a moment, walked over silently, and picked up the letter written by Alice in the early morning. The ink had dried up, and it was obvious that he had been away for a while.

"Merlin, I will not be willing to lose my consciousness slowly and become a irrational walking dead, so I plan to face the biggest challenge in my life alone. I am lucky if I succeed, and I will give up if I don't. It's good for people to die secretly outside, at least it can protect my last dignity, I know you won't come to me, after all, we really get together because of interests, this process is not very pleasant, you are not Do you really want to go back to your hometown? So the only thing I can do now is to leave all my property to you. This is probably my last kindness? I wish you good luck in the future——Alice Clodia.”

Merlin read the letter left by Alice blankly, with a look of astonishment in disbelief.

Alice actually left by herself? !Fuck!

Now is an extraordinary period, where can this washboard go?

Actually planning to go out and wait for death silently?What a stupid choice this is!

It was hard for Merlin to imagine that things would turn out like this, at least it was hard for him to understand such a thing.

But these things can be understood by Alice, a stubborn donkey.

After all, the girl Alice is too independent, she can choose many things by herself, even ten cows can't pull her back.

Merlin felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He felt the atrophy and pain in his heart, which made him a little bit more painful. He had to breathe harder to relieve it.

He felt empty in his heart, as if something was missing, lacking a sense of security.

Are you a demon, or a human?

Merlin himself is not too clear about this issue, but it is not very important now.

Merlin thought about the people he had met in the different world for 200 years, some were important and some were not.

But as long as you miss it, it will completely disappear in your life, without leaving a trace, as if it has never been there.

In any case, Merlin didn't want this idiot, Alice, to disappear. With such a huge debt, it would be too cheap for her to disappear like this!

What demons, humans?

I, Merlin, am Merlin, nothing more!

In the face of all headaches, just cut them with a knife...

Merlin's eyebrows were tightly locked together, and he clenched the letter into a ball in a state of distraught, and threw it on the ground.

Then he endured the pain of the curse in his heart, strode to the door and pushed it open.

The light rain outside was hazy, like a curtain, and the distance could not be seen clearly.

Merlin picked up the saber "Vientiane Jialuo", put on a black raincoat and went out directly, stepping into the rain.

The two eyebrows on his head were connected together, and an angry red light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice through gritted teeth.

"That troublesome woman is really stupid..."

(ー′ー)

Chapter 35: Thunder Beast

It's raining, and it's like a thought swaying with the wind.

Merlin rushed out of the house and went straight to the guild with a serious expression on his face.

The dripping rain splashed on him, allowing him to shuttle through the drizzle.

The pain of heart atrophy gradually subsided, allowing Merlin to gradually calm down.

The primary purpose is to get Alice back. Who knows what this troublesome woman is going to do?

However, Merlin guessed that Alice must take a huge risk to fight to the death, or she will die if she fails!

Merlin suddenly pushed open the door of the guild, his whole body was drenched by the rain, and the rain dripped down his constrained hair to the ground.

He glanced around, but he didn't see Alice, and there seemed to be a lot of familiar faces missing.

"whispering sound!"

Merlin's first reaction was that Alice must have left. Thinking about the withered ink on that letter, it must have been a while.

Fortunately, this guy Hobbs is still there, chatting with other adventurers, when he saw the wet Merlin, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"Merlin!? What happened to you? What happened?"

Hobbs found it strange to see Merlin's dignified expression, especially the rain-soaked appearance, which was quite different from usual.

Merlin walked up to Hobbs and hurriedly asked, "Hobbs, where is Alice?!"

"Eh!? Don't you know? I'm going to hunt down the giant ghost..." Hobbs looked confused, wondering if Merlin didn't know about this?Didn't Alice say that Karl would notify Merlin when she went back?Is it not at all?What the hell are these couple up to.

Merlin's eyes widened, and many thoughts flashed through his mind for a while, Praise for defeating the rich ghost?I haven't even heard of this thing!Couldn't it be Alice who made her own claims?hateful!What a hassle!

"Where is the specific location of the praise of the ghost?"
