The Unemployed Demon Lord

Merlin felt a little helpless about this kind of credit behavior, but he could only wait patiently. Considering that the current situation is still turbulent, it seems very difficult for a little princess like Michelle to take out so many gold coins.

"Okay, the deadline is 2 months, don't forget."

"I will never forget it, I can guarantee it with the reputation of the royal family." Michelle put her hands on her chest with a serious expression.

Alice moved closer to Merlin and said in a low voice, "Okay, don't be aggressive, we've already got 35 gold coins, which is enough to solve our urgent needs."

Merlin sighed, it was enough to be blown by Alice all day, "Let's go."

"Wait a minute!" Duke Rose suddenly stopped Merlin and Alice, as if there was still something to do.

"What are you doing? There won't be anything bothering me, right? Telling you guys not to overreach, it's a bit too much..." Merlin's face was black, with a very impatient expression.

"Lord Merlin, don't get excited, I'm not looking for you, but I want to ask Lord Alice..." Duke Rose explained.

"Uh..." Merlin looked embarrassed, what did he want to do with Alice?Don't you see that this silly girl is messing with me?

"Master Alice..." Duke Rose looked at Alice with a polite attitude and asked seriously

"Are you willing to give up your job as an adventurer..."

"Will you come to our Qiangwei family to serve as the Grand Knight Commander?"

Chapter 61: Monthly Ticket Addition

"Eh?!"

Alice was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on? !

Let yourself be the Grand Knight Commander of the Rose Knights?

This is the supreme commander of a knight order!

Considering that the Knight Commander Myron is dead, it is normal for the Duke to want to find someone to replace him.

But why is it me?Merlin is much stronger than himself...

Alice became puzzled, and was a little at a loss when faced with the olive branch thrown by the Duke of Rose.

In fact, in the eyes of Duke Rose, Alice is still stronger than Merlin, with extraordinary strength.

He speculates that Alice is a very low-key adventurer who has never been publicized, so she has little reputation.

A strong man who can repel the goblin in the lake is not an exaggeration to become the queen's guest!

That's right, from the perspective of Duke Rose, the lake goblin was actually killed by Alice. Not only did he think so, but even Michelle next to him thought so.

Because Merlin was alone the whole time, and he was secretly acting on his own to deal with the goblin in the lake. Only he and Alice knew about it, and no one else knew about it.

Duke Rose and Michelle both thought that they invited Alice, and then the lake goblin died. Merlin didn't make much contribution except to cover the escape.

Even for killing the three Thorn Knights who were chasing after them, the Duke of Rose and Michelle felt that it must be Alice's main credit.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Duke and Michelle, Alice at this time is a low-key and super strong person.

If it wasn't for the fact that Michelle didn't have any real rights, she might have promised better conditions on the spot and competed with Duke Rose for talents.

"How about it? Master Alice, my knight commander's monthly income is over ten thousand gold coins, and you can move from a small place like Wrexham to the capital of Wales, Cardiff, and I can even buy you a Big house." Duke Qiangwei made various promises, and he was already a very conscientious boss.

Most of the unsecured occupations like adventurers are precarious, and they can only starve to death if they cannot receive the task.

It is said to be the most passionate profession, but in essence it is not as good as eating imperial food, and it is very dangerous.

In fact, Duke Rose didn't ignore Merlin on purpose, but with his financial resources, it was difficult to hire a second holy rank powerhouse.

In desperation, comparing Alice and Merlin, it is obvious that Alice is better because she is more "strong"!

Alice was a little moved immediately, because the conditions offered by the Duke of Rose were indeed superior, and it was simply a verbal offer of a stable contract for the rest of her life.

Merlin in the back suddenly became unhappy, and felt a little unbalanced. How could Alice have nothing when she was offered an olive branch?

Merlin didn't care about becoming a knight commander, even if he knelt down to ask him to do it, because it would restrict freedom and be subject to various restrictions.

Merlin couldn't stand the humiliation that the mighty devil actually worked under the hands of the rich and powerful.

But this feeling of being ignored made Merlin very unhappy, and he had the illusion that he was still standing still while he was flying like a follower.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute, why did you invite Alice, but not me as your Grand Knight Commander?"

"Master Merlin, to be honest, I can't afford to invite two powerful people of the holy rank. Compared with Lord Alice, I think it is more cost-effective to invite Lord Alice, because she is obviously stronger." Duke Rose said truthfully. .

"Ah?" Merlin's eyes widened, pointing to Alice, "Which eye do you see that she is better than me?"

"Mistress Alice repelled the monster of the lake goblin, and she is already considered the top swordsman in the empire." Duke Qiangwei sighed.

"Hmph~!" Alice pinched her waist immediately, with pride and complacency written all over her face.

Merlin couldn't bear Alice's proud appearance, and couldn't help but say, "My lord, I want you to understand that the lake goblin you're talking about was actually killed by me."

"Don't be joking, Lord Merlin, I know that you are very powerful, but you are still slightly inferior to Alice. I think sometimes being sincere is far easier to be respected than the hypocrisy of a strong outsider, what do you think?" Duke Rose The tone was very tactful, and I didn't have the nerve to say that Merlin was bragging about being a softie!

"Tsk!" Merlin's expression became complicated, thinking that Alice's rank is just N ranks higher than her own?As for causing such a big misunderstanding?

Alice looked at Merlin, and felt that she needed to explain herself, "Really, Merlin really took care of that water demon. Actually, I didn't do anything."

"Alright, alright, lord Alice, I understand that a low-key person like you is excellent in everything, but you are too modest, but I have to say that being too modest is just pretending." Duke Rose felt that he had seen through it. This duo is up.

"Yes, Lord Alice, there is no need for you to be so humble. I thought you were an ordinary holy-ranked powerhouse, but I didn't expect that your strength is far beyond the top knights of the empire." Michelle also couldn't help but echoed. .

"Master Alice, please be sure to accept our praise, you deserve it." The Duke of Rose showed a bit of respect, as the strong in this world should be respected.

"Uh..." Alice became embarrassed, her expression was a little dull, thinking why she couldn't explain clearly?Make yourself look like a scheming bitch.

"How are you thinking? Lady Alice, are you interested in becoming the Grand Knight Commander?" Duke Rose asked seriously.

"emmmmmm..." Alice was obviously hesitant, leaned over to Merlin, and asked in a low voice, "Merlin, will you go?"

The Duke of Rose saw that Alice was always asking Merlin's opinions, so he couldn't help but feel that she had no opinion. In order to win over this strong man, he had to add, "If Lord Merlin wants to come, it is also possible, but the salary and treatment are not so good, because my The knight order only needs one Grand Knight Commander."

"What do you think?" Alice asked Merlin. She felt that the conditions offered by the Duke were not bad. The key is that Merlin will become her subordinate from now on. It's really cool?

Merlin rolled his eyes, and whispered unceremoniously, "No, I'll go to you, I'm a big devil, I don't like being controlled by others."

"Well……"

Alice's expression turned ugly. She didn't expect Merlin to remain unmoved by such a good condition.

What should I do?If Merlin doesn't go, it's not good to go by himself, it's so boring.

If I leave this guy alone, I will definitely be worried, right?

Always causing trouble, what will happen to him if he is no longer by his side?

It must be very miserable, eating and drinking and running around committing crimes.

And...and I don't want to leave...

Alice's face flushed, and she sighed silently. It was a rare opportunity to suppress Merlin, so she had to give up.

"My lord duke, thank you for your kindness, but let's forget it. Although the adventurer's job is very unstable, we are still having a good time, so... I'm sorry."

After speaking, Alice pulled Merlin and turned around to leave, intending to leave.

"Hey, isn't that condition very good? Why did you refuse?" Merlin frowned, not quite understanding.

"This is my own choice, you don't need to question it, hum~!" Alice said angrily, her handsome face couldn't help but blush.

After Merlin and Alice left in the carriage and got away, Michelle couldn't help asking.

"My lord, why did Miss Alice refuse such a generous offer?"

Duke Rose looked at the carriage going away, sighed deeply, and replied lightly

"Ugh……"

"Because of love."

Northern England.

There has been turmoil here recently, on the brink of war.

Grand Duke Offrey has buried his only son. He has no pursuit, but only seeks revenge, and let the family achieve unprecedented glory, even if it is only short-lived.

The following war is not only a battle of revenge, but also a historical moment to subvert the dynasty and lead the family to the peak of power!

The entire Ofrey family has begun to move around, gearing up, and the ambition that has lasted for several years is finally going to become a reality!

The next day, the kingdom's northern defense line.

Dawn shines through the dawn sky, awakening the sleeping earth.

This is the first line of defense of the imperial capital, used to contain the enemies who threaten the Queen.

Now it is the most dangerous outpost used to resist the rebellion of the Offrey family.

The [-] Kingdom Army stands here mighty and mighty. They are the elite troops of the Empire and are well-equipped.

The soldiers held their heads high and raised their spirits, ready to deal with the next fierce battle!

Although Wang Guojun was criticized by many people, he was pampered and pampered in peacetime, and he was directly under the queen's pretentious uncle and so on.

But at this time, they still stand here to show their loyalty, and use a defensive posture to face the terrifying enemy.

Opposite them was a densely packed army of [-] Offreys with better equipment, wearing black battle armor, with bloodthirsty eyes.

Even the weapons in their hands are different. The materials are all taken from monsters, and they are blessed with magic runes, which shows the strong financial resources of the Ofrey family.

In addition to the fighting-minded army, there are also monsters, mercenaries and other powerful people from all walks of life to help out. There are more than a hundred giant siege machines alone!

Although the empire had been prepared for a long time, it still underestimated the fighting power of the Ofrey family, which was completely beyond imagination!

This is an unfair war. The Royal Army will be crushed by Offrey's combined army. Anyone can see the disparity in strength!

The knights of the Royal Army kept shrinking, and many of them were very nervous, and they couldn't stop their cold sweat.

A black eagle flew over the Royal Army, as if provoking, or declaring death...

The aged Grand Duke Offrey was the first to ride out of the phalanx on a black bear, his eyes full of ambition were burning!

He dropped the heavy helmet on his head, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and roared from the depths of his soul

"The despicable queen murdered my son, she will definitely pay the price in blood!"
