The Unemployed Demon Lord

Because based on past experience, things that involve Alice will become extremely complicated, and it will be very complicated.

At this time, both of them ate in silence without saying a word, and the atmosphere seemed a little weird.

Although the home is not too big, it is very warm.

The brilliant lights swung slightly above, casting a warm hue.

Today is Alice cooking, although not as good as Merlin's cooking, but has made great progress.

It won't be like before, always take the ingredients and cook in a mess, and cook in a muddle.

Alice learned a lot of Merlin's cooking skills, and also saw a lot of new vocabulary, but she couldn't understand any of them anyway.

It seems that when Alice was subtle, she was moving rapidly towards the road of a housewife, but she didn't know it.

Seeing the rapid passage of time, Alice couldn't sit still, couldn't help raising her head, and asked straight to the point.

"What was written in that letter today? You have been depressed since you read that letter. Do you have something on your mind?"

"Huh?" Merlin raised his head and felt a little uncomfortable seeing Alice's complex eyes. "It's nothing, just some small things."

Alice rolled her eyes, thinking about the little things and still showing a preoccupied look, telling herself what's wrong?I won't die again!Maybe I can help.

"You just... you're not going to tell me?"

Seeing Alice's expectant appearance, Merlin suddenly felt annoyed.

Even if he told the truth, he was Elgin the Great Swordsman, and his true identity was discovered.

Alice will definitely say: Please be normal, don't be a showman and really think that you are the great swordsman of Elgin, okay?People are much better than you, right...

Merlin didn't even need to try, he would definitely get this kind of answer, so he didn't bother to explain.

Moreover, this matter has little to do with Alice, it is entirely a game between Merlin and Queen Elizabeth, there is no need to involve Alice.

"It's not such an important thing, so don't worry about it."

"What do you mean I'm worrying? I...I don't think you're unhappy and seem to be in trouble, so I want to see if I can help you?" Alice dodged her eyes, expressing her concern very tactfully.

"Why are you so enthusiastic all of a sudden? You should be happy that I'm in trouble~" Merlin said in a teasing tone.

"Why am I happy?! Am I the kind of person who gloats at others' misfortunes!?" Alice retorted unconvinced.

"Yes~" Merlin grinned, and asked vigilantly, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Say, are you plotting something?"

"You're enough!" Alice yelled angrily, with a gloomy face, thinking that she was kind, why did Merlin always reject her?What are you plotting?Is there any profit for a poor guy like Merlin? ?

"What... what's wrong?" Merlin frowned, wondering why Alice was so excited?

"Merlin, we..." Alice hesitated to speak, before hesitating for a moment, "We are... companions, right?"

Merlin thought for a while, then nodded, "That's right."

"Then..." Alice paused, and said seriously, "I hope you don't hide anything from me. If you have any troubles, you can tell me. If possible, I hope you can trust me more."

After finishing speaking, Alice left without looking back, hoping that Merlin could tell her troubles tomorrow.

However, Merlin was a little embarrassed watching Alice's leaving back, and thought helplessly.

It's nice to say, but what's the use of saying it?

Alice couldn't do anything to help, and might add to the chaos.

If you want a simple and clear showdown with the human queen, you still have to go alone...

◇

The next morning.

Merlin got up early in the morning, and it was still dark.

He simply packed up the necessary things on the road, and still planned to set off alone to Elizabeth, the capital city.

Now Merlin is facing a predicament that everyone is looking at, and Elizabeth is threatening him with this.

Although there was nothing in that letter, the breath of beating Merlin came over his face.

Merlin didn't want to face the situation after his identity was exposed, it's fine as it is now.

If his identity is exposed, Merlin's peaceful life will no longer exist, and he will have to deal with a large number of people who come here admiringly, or an enemy will jump out from time to time, and the worst thing is that he will not have a good life with the empire.

Although Merlin wasn't afraid of any enemies, or being hostile to the empire, there was something he wanted to protect at this moment.

Recalling the warm figure of Alice hanging clothes not long ago, he felt a little nostalgic for this kind of picture in his heart.

So Merlin wanted to protect the hard-won peace, and he didn't want to see Alice worried.

Merlin put on a black robe, pinned the sword around his waist, and wiped the silver mask in his hand.

"It's almost ready, let's go..."

Merlin put on a mask and left home quietly. He left a letter for Alice on the table, telling him what he was going to do.

"Alice, don't panic if you don't find me. I didn't mean to leave you alone."

"Actually, there was no big secret in the letter yesterday, it's just that a rich woman from the imperial capital wanted to meet me."

"So I need to go out for a while, and I will be back in a short time, don't read it."

◇

Not much time.

Alice woke up immediately, and was a little flustered when she saw that Merlin was not here.

Her intuition told her that Merlin should not be an irresponsible person, after all, the joint debt between the two is still there.

If all of this suddenly fell on Alice alone, then she would be ready to die.

Merlin probably wouldn't do such a thing as leaving without saying goodbye.

Alice didn't care about taking care of her messy appearance just after waking up, and looked everywhere for traces of Merlin before he left.

So it was easy to find the message on the table in the living room. Alice nervously picked it up and looked at it carefully...

I saw that Alice's expression suddenly became complicated, and emotions such as surprise, annoyance, dissatisfaction, and worry suddenly surged up.

rich woman! ?

What a rich woman! ?

Alice thought about it carefully before recalling that Merlin robbed a rich woman's stockings before.

Alice, who had figured it out a little bit, suddenly became annoyed and tore Merlin's letter to pieces.

Alice felt her eye sockets tighten, she had the urge to cry, her heart was very unbalanced

Damn Merlin!

This is blatantly cuckolding me! ?

It's fine to go out secretly to hook up with a rich woman, but you even left a letter to tell me, do you want to bully me like this...

Chapter 27: Hijacking

A few days later.

Offrey's main force has invaded the territory of the imperial capital.

A total of nearly [-] elite troops approached me in the hinterland of the imperial capital with great arrogance.

Along the way, the rebels were easily swept away, and the lords in various places suffered heavy losses.

Although Offrey's arm was cut off, it didn't affect his ambition to become an emperor in the slightest.

As long as you have the Four Elemental Sword Masters on your side, any resistance in the empire is not worth mentioning.

In the temporary palace, Elizabeth's face was full of worries, and her heart was extremely disturbed.

Because according to the marching speed of the United Legion, it only takes three days to gather outside the gate of the imperial capital.

At that time, Elizabeth will either surrender or be forced to fight, no matter which option will declare the end of the British dynasty.

Moreover, there is still no news from Elgin Great Swordsman, and I don't know if he will come to the imperial capital to have an interview with him.

Elizabeth sighed, and her eyes changed again and again. If Merlin refused to come over to help her, she had already planned to minimize the casualties, just like Grand Duke Offrey surrendered.

Masefield looked at the Queen's sad look, and his mood suddenly dropped. He felt that he couldn't share Elizabeth's worries, and he seemed very incompetent.

But this is something that can't be helped. Although Masefield is a saint-level powerhouse, she is not a god. Facing the mighty [-] cavalry, she is helpless and can only wait for the final judgment silently.

Even if he didn't fight against the mysterious sword master on the enemy's side, Masefield would have no way to kill her more than 20 times just by relying on the crowd tactics and wheel battles of a hundred thousand troops.

After all, magic power and fighting spirit are not unlimited, and Masefield is also a mortal, so what can he do in front of a powerful army?

However, Masefield is different from other Thorn Knights, he has a special feeling for Elizabeth, and he has already made up his mind to live and die with the queen, protecting her until the last moment.

"Your Majesty, the United Legion is getting closer and closer to the city. From time to time, enemy scouts come to spy on us. What should we do?"

Facing Masefield's inquiry, Elizabeth was silent for a while, and responded lightly, "Wait patiently first, it is too difficult to rely on us to reverse the situation. We need a booster now, and that is support."

"Support?" Masefield frowned, wondering in his heart, "Can support alone reverse the current bad situation? I don't know which army has such strength, it can't be the assistance of other empires, right? "

"It's not an army, but a person." Elizabeth responded calmly.

"Ah?! Alone!"

Masefield was dumbfounded, feeling incredible, wondering who this supporter was?

The queen actually wants to fight against the well-equipped combined army by herself? !

It's hard for her to imagine any strong person who can do such an unimaginable thing?

That's an army of 10 men!It is not a leek that can be harvested casually!Even the strongest of the holy rank will be dragged to death by the number of people, not to mention the other party has a mysterious sword master sitting in charge!

The figure of the great swordsman Elgin flashed subconsciously in Masefield's mind. It is rumored that this man once overturned the undead army that suddenly appeared by himself.

Besides, Masefield can hardly think of anyone else who can do this kind of thing.

However, the great swordsman Elgin and the empire were somewhat hostile, and Masefield felt that it could not be this man.

"That's right, it's just one person." Elizabeth nodded.
