The Unemployed Demon Lord

after a few days

Wrexham, which was not disturbed by the flames of war, was in a relatively peaceful state.

However, as the war between the Offrey family and the Empire intensified, more people became homeless.

They had to leave their homes and stay in the heart of the war, and Wales, which is in the far west, became the best choice.

Today's streets and alleys in Rexelin are much busier than usual, with people coming and going a little crowded.

However, most of them are not locals living in Wrexham, but many refugees from other places who escaped the war.

Many of them stopped on the side of the road with their families to rest, or felt uneasy, and headed deeper into Wales.

It was as if a large number of people had poured in, making Price, the captain of the garrison corps, overwhelmed, so he could only send more people to maintain order.

Alice and Merlin haven't made any big moves recently, but have enjoyed a peaceful life for a long time.

Merlin wandered around the streets of Wrexham every day with nothing to do, or went to drink with Hobbs.

Alice was busy practicing, and wanted to improve her strength, at least to the point where she would not drag Merlin down.

However, Merlin and Hobbs drank a little too much the day before yesterday, and they came home very late, immediately blowing Alice's anger, and her heart was panicked.

Thinking about Merlin's usual habit of flirting around outside, Alice suspected in her eyes that she had gone out to fool around.

So here Tianmeilin is very helpless and a little bit unfree, Alice has to take Merlin with her wherever she goes, for fear that he will sneak away.

Merlin felt that chatting with Hobbs was much more interesting than Alice, so he insisted on taking a day off instead of going to practice with Alice.

Alice thought that Merlin always learned bad things, and it must be related to Hobbs, so she became more and more dissatisfied with this old man.

Surrounded by a group of cronies and friends, can Merlin learn something good?impossible!

And it's fine to fool around by yourself, if you have to wear Merlin together, it's immoral...

Alice felt sour in her heart, thinking that she is a beautiful girl, but to Merlin, is she not as good as an old man?

In the Adventurer's Guild at this time, Merlin and Alice were sitting together relatively close, and the invisible radiance made the singles a little unbearable.

Holding a wine glass, Hobbs sat alone opposite, with a panicked expression, and had to endure the resentful eyes of Alice on the opposite side from time to time.

The three sat at a table, did they chat about the current situation of the empire?

After all, this topic is very hot now, and everyone is speculating whether the empire is going to change its dynasty?

Did Hobbs raise his eyelids and look at Alice vigilantly, looking like a thief.

What are you doing?hell...

I could have had a pleasant chat with Merlin, but Alice was here, so I couldn't talk nonsense.

For example, at this time, I can talk to Merlin about the beautiful girl I found recently, or about Rukia's butt getting bigger~

But now that Alice is here, she always feels like she's being watched. As a teammate of the Strict Wife Club, she can't tell Merlin dirty jokes at a time like this.

But Alice is a little too strict recently, right?Always pestering Merlin, following wherever he goes, obedient...

Hobbs took a sip of beer calmly, and stole an admiring look from Merlin who was reading the newspaper.

He thought that Merlin might be too good, he is also a black iron adventurer, and he just doesn't have the ability of the other party to pick up girls.

Anyway, Alice is also a highly respected saint-level powerhouse in the society, so she was tied to death by Merlin. I have to say that this is a strange thing. Could it be that Merlin over-completed her homework recently?

Hobbs recalled the rumor that Merlin conquered Alice with a big banana, and suddenly showed an evil smile

Fuck!This is an innate talent, incomparable, incomparable...

Alice saw the obscene smile on Hobbs's face, and immediately felt angry, so she slapped the table hard and said angrily, "Hobbs! What are you laughing at!?"

"Pfft!" Hobbs spat out the beer in fright, and quickly wiped the table with his sleeve. Let it be yours..."

"Why aren't you laughing?" Alice narrowed her eyes and said seriously, "Then why do I feel an obscenity..."

"Cough! Cough!" Hobbs coughed, pretending to be an old avatar, "Illusion! It's all an illusion! Don't you think too much about me? You always look at me with colored glasses, but I The most decent person in the entire guild, there is no such word as obscene in my dictionary."

"The devil will believe your words. How dare you take Merlin to that kind of place when he first arrived?" Alice was like a young lion about to get angry.

"This..." Hobbs was sweating coldly, and suddenly became a little speechless.

"Merlin came home so late a few days ago, did you, the old guy, take him to fool around again?!" Alice had been suppressed for a long time, and now she finally couldn't help questioning the things of the previous few days.

"No...no..." Hobbs frowned, and put his hands out with an innocent look, "Merlin and I drank a little too much here a few days ago, and didn't go to... some strange places fool around."

Alice angrily pulled out the rapier at her waist, and with a wave of her hand, the blade touched Hobbs' neck, "I want to tell the truth, don't try to fool me with excuses, do you hear me?!"

The commotion here has attracted the attention of many people, wondering what happened?

But Hobbs is used to teasing at ordinary times, who knows how to make Alice angry, and everyone doesn't care.

"Uh..." The wine glass in Hobbs' hand fell to the ground, and he looked down at the rapier on his neck. The cold made him shiver, "Don't stop, Alice, calm down. We can talk about any issues, don't draw your sword at every turn, if your hand shakes, it will be bad if you accidentally injure yourself."

"Come on, I want to listen to the truth." Alice asked angrily.

"You can ask Merlin, don't force me with a sword, okay?" Hobbs smiled forcedly, feeling scared of Alice. If this guy drinks a little wine, the Queen of the Empire would dare to cut him.

"I suspect that the two of you colluded and made up reasons to fool me, so tell me the truth, where did you go that night?" Alice threatened with a sword.

"Why do you press me? Alice, you should press your Merlin!" Hobbs wanted to cry, and his expression showed a little sadness.

"You can't pick me to bully just because you feel sorry for your little boy!"

"One comes to me every day to eat and drink, and the other draws his sword every day to hack me to death..."

"I... what can I do? I'm fucking desperate too..."

·°(???﹏???)°·?

Chapter 24: Letter

"What did I do wrong? You two want to bully me like this? Do you have any humanity..."

Hobbs felt the coldness on the rapier, with tears in his eyes, looking very pitiful.

It is estimated that Hobbs has endured this pair of dogs and men for a long time. Today, being forced into such a state by Alice, he finally couldn't help complaining.

"Uh..." Alice was embarrassed for a while, thinking that if she could force Merlin to ask, she would have already pressed the question. The problem is that she can't beat this demon herself, and the other party will only counterattack if she presses the question with force.

In short, Alice is cowardly, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, but if she can't beat Merlin, she has to take Hobbs, the unlucky guy.

Merlin couldn't stand it any longer. How could Hobbs often invite him to drink? If Alice really shook her hand, wouldn't her long-term meal ticket be ruined?

So Merlin turned his eyes away from the newspaper, looked at Alice helplessly, and said seriously.

"Put the sword away quickly, don't make trouble here, didn't you say that fighting is not allowed in the guild? And a mithril adventurer pointed a sword at the black iron adventurer, you will not bully the small like this Are you ashamed? Be quiet..."

Hobbs glanced at Merlin, thinking that this guy is really rude, Alice will be angry, right?

Why do you think Merlin has no right to speak when eating soft meals at home?

Hobbs looked embarrassed, feeling that Alice, who had a bad temper, would commit domestic violence at the scene, and suddenly shivered.

But Alice's reaction was different from what Hobbs thought.

Alice looked at Merlin, hesitated for a few seconds, and immediately obediently put the sword back into the scabbard, angrily silent, her gills swollen like puffer fish that had been stimulated.

Hobbs frowned, feeling that Alice's reaction was incredible.

With Alice's bad temper, she should have fought Merlin, right?

what's going on?What method did Merlin use to subdue Alice? She was so submissive in an instant, amazing...

Hobbs touched his chin, and couldn't help but think about surgery in the room.

"I didn't mess around! You came home so late the day before yesterday, and you must have done something dirty behind my back!" Alice stared at Merlin with resentment.

"Tsk! Why do you have such a rich imagination?" Merlin raised his eyebrows, "I just drank a little too much with Hobbs the day before yesterday, so I went home late, it's as simple as that."

"If you believe me, you're going to be a ghost, you guy with a criminal record, haven't you lied to me too often?" Alice muttered in a complaining tone.

"This..." Merlin scratched his cheeks, a drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he thought to himself quite a few times, who made Alice stupid~ "Really..." Alice lowered her head angrily He murmured, "It's so late, so don't hang out anymore? You have to fool around outside, normal people have already gone home, okay? It's not like you don't have a home, and you wander around like a homeless outside, don't you? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Hobbs took a sip of beer calmly, his expression became tangled, and he thought this was probably Alice's way of expressing concern, right?Surprisingly clumsy...

"Ah? Who do you think looks like a tramp? You actually scolded me..." Merlin frowned, feeling that Alice was insulting herself in a different way.

"puff!"

Hobbs spat out the drink, thinking frantically, oh my god!Merlin is also a wonderful flower among thousands of flowers.

It's fine if you don't notice Alice's concern, but take the other party's euphemistic expression of concern as an insult.

Hobbs couldn't understand it a little bit, and felt that the personalities of Alice and Merlin couldn't overlap at all, and it was a miracle that they could be together!

Eluth's face was expressionless, and there was a bit of helplessness and disappointment in her eyes.

She didn't mean to scold Merlin at all, she just wanted to say that she would be worried if Merlin didn't come home so late.

In the end, Merlin was fine, and looked at Alice directly with hostile eyes, as if provocative.

Alice was so angry that she felt that Merlin had failed her good intentions, so she raised the bar angrily.

"So what if I scold you?! It's reasonable to fool around outside! Have you considered my feelings?!"

"I am an admirer of freedom! Why do I need to report to you? Are you kidding me?" Merlin snorted coldly, ignoring Alice's petty emotions.

"Yeah!!" Alice's anger was rising steadily. If she hadn't been able to beat Merlin, she would have lost her temper a long time ago.

"Hey! Don't make noise. This is the guild, not your own home. If you have a family dispute here, you will be laughed at." Hobbs jumped out to be a peacemaker, "Secretly tell you, our guild There are a lot of older single youths, and they usually like to watch couples break up, so don't let them use you as an after-dinner conversation, in less than three days, there will definitely be an uproar in the streets and alleys of Wrexham..."

Merlin and Alice looked at each other sideways, and there was obvious disgust in the depths of their eyes, so they both snorted coldly and stopped talking, as if entering a cold war.

Hobbs felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to speak easily. After all, there was nothing more troublesome than being involved in a quarrel.

Merlin ignored the angry Alice, but continued to read the newspaper

"The army of the Offrey family is approaching the territory of the imperial capital, and the queen is in an unprecedented crisis!"

Although we are now in a period of war, some newspapers are still so dedicated that they continue to report on the frontlines, so that many people can understand the current situation.

In fact, Merlin can figure out the bad situation without reading the newspapers. Just look at the increasing number of refugees outside to know that life in the imperial capital is not easy.

Merlin was not worried about the Queen's life, but worried about himself.

Because Merlin is too familiar with Alice's character and likes to meddle in other people's business, can the little guard of justice watch the refugees outside starve to death?impossible!
