The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Wow! How did you make it look like this? Didn't you sleep last night?! What are you doing?" Alice was startled by Merlin's decadent appearance.

"You are very noisy, Ellie... Merlin complained listlessly, "Can't you let me take a good rest?

"But we still have things to do today? I didn't let you sleep. What were you busy with last night? Why are you so tired?" Alice asked suspiciously.

"You really want to know? I don't think it's good for you to know about this kind of thing..." Merlin hesitated, not very happy to tell Alice the secret.

"What?" Alice frowned, feeling some bad premonition.

"Last night I..."...

"Well, don't say any more, I've got it."

Before Merlin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Alice, which made him a little puzzled.

"What do you unserstand?

"What else can a man do in the middle of the night?" Alice blushed, her appearance began to twitch, and she said embarrassedly, "You must have been suppressed for too long, so I secretly do some nasty things by myself. It’s understandable, but that kind of thing has to be done with a degree, too many times will hurt your body, so be careful yourself.”

"...Merlin sat up slowly, pointed at Alice, trembling with anger, with a suffocated expression like eating a fly, what is going on in this stinky bitch's dirty mind?!

Chapter 4: Renewal of Monthly Pass

Although the two had an oolong when they woke up early in the morning, it was more important to be serious.

So Merlin and Alice surprisingly didn't quarrel, but got busy, going to Da Vinci to talk about the diary.

Merlin didn't care much about his image in Alice's eyes. Anyway, he was too familiar with him so that he had no image at all. It's better to pretend that he didn't hear it, but when the two were busy taking care of their appearance, there was a sudden knock on the door , Dong Dong Dong: "Huh?" Merlin frowned in the bathroom, wondering who came early in the morning?

"Merlin, go and open the door." Alice's voice came from the room.

"Tsk!" Merlin became annoyed, hating being ordered around, "Can you go by yourself!? Why do you have to bother me with such trivial matters every time!

"Aren't you close!? Open the door and you won't die!" Alice responded angrily.

"Who says you won't die? I can be exhausted! Don't go! Go and open the door yourself! Maybe they came to look for you!" Merlin continued to brush his teeth in the mirror, ignoring Alice.

"I...I'm changing my clothes! I haven't dressed yet, how can I go out!?" Alice's tone softened a little.

call! "Melin threw the toothbrush into the quilt, then rinsed his mouth casually, and complained, "Troublesome woman, sooner or later she will be pissed to death. smiley face.

Apart from the word professional, there is no other word to describe the speed of this face-changing.

"One...Isn't this the landlady's wife? What's going on this early in the morning?" Play "It turned out to be Mr. Merlin. I heard that you came back last night, so I hurried over to discuss this month's rent.The landlady's old face is kind and approachable, and she speaks very politely.

"Uh, a rent!?"

Merlin's breath was stagnant. He who had seen all kinds of storms and waves was calm and composed, but he took a step back on the issue of rent urging.

Damn, rent reminder!It turns out that the rent has already been paid?

In the past, Alice had handed it over to the landlady early, so how could someone come to her door today? !

Merlin is very resistant to being dun, and feels like a myocardial infarction as soon as he is dun.

"That's right, Mr. Merlin, the rent is due, and it's already been a week. I think no matter how sweet you two are, you can't forget my old lady's rent, right?" the landlady said with a smile.

"I've never forgotten." Since Alice was in charge of the family's money, Merlin had no choice but to tell Alice to get out, "Alice! Come out! Stop pretending to be dead."

"You are going to die! What are you shouting for?! What is your attitude! I said I was changing clothes, and Alice came out of the room angrily. The clothes on her body were not very neat. She was obviously annoyed by Merlin and rushed out to argue. At first, she was very aggressive, with a look of wanting to fight Merlin, but when she saw the landlady standing outside the door, her voice suddenly stopped, and her face was full of shock.

Alice was only briefly absent-minded for 3 seconds, and immediately put on a smile, and hurried up to meet her.

"Hey~, Mrs. Landlady? What brought you here, come and sit in the room." "No need, Miss Alice, I'm here today to collect rent. You have been overdue for a week, and you won't pay the rent any more." It will give me a headache." The landlady looked embarrassed.

"Eh!?" Alice seemed to be petrified immediately, and stood frozen on the spot. Obviously, the rent urging caught her by surprise.

In fact, Alice, as the manager of the family's economy, already understood the current situation very well. The funds were almost out of circulation. Excluding the daily expenses and the expenses of going out to perform tasks, there was not much left.

Now if the rent is paid, Merlin and Alice are likely to face the dilemma of saving food and clothing, so it doesn't seem very strange for Alice to show this appearance when facing rent reminders.

"Eh, what? Hurry up and give me the money... Merlin doesn't understand the situation at home, but feels that Alice's reaction is weird.

"Go, go away! It's nothing to do with you!" Alice pulled Merlin aside, in fact, to let him say a few words, "Madam, I'm really sorry, we have a little bit of economic situation now, the rent... we temporarily It's hard to take it out, can you give us a period of time, and then we will definitely make up all the rent owed!

"Huh!?" Merlin's eyes widened at the side, looking at Alice's extremely serious appearance, he thought to himself, what the hell!Is the family too poor to open the pot? ?Do you want to be so severe! ?It has reached the point where even the rent needs to be paid on credit!By the way, didn't I get 1000 gold coins from the Dark Guild duo in Ireland?It’s okay to take it out now to deal with it!

"This... the landlady obviously hesitated, but she looked at Alice's serious eyes and felt that this young man would not deceive casually, so she nodded, "Okay, Miss Alice, I trust you very much, in general Next, I will absolutely not allow rent arrears, but you are an exception. I can continue to live in arrears of rent for two months at most. If you still can’t make up the rent after two months, it’s a pity, and you have to leave here. "SF Light Novels" I see, don't worry, I will definitely pay back. "Alice responded very seriously.

"Don't be too anxious Miss Alice, take it easy, I will allow you to owe rent, it is entirely because your character is not bad, I have heard many people praise you, I think you will be like Mr. Carl in the future , loved by many people." The landlady said with a smile, she seemed to have heard a lot of rumors about Alice.

"Hey, where is the 5MV?" I Alice unconsciously showed a smirk, thinking that her fame is getting bigger and bigger?It must be not far from reaching the pinnacle of life, and I am a little excited when I think about it~

"Mr. Merlin, you are Miss Alice's husband, and you are the pillar of the family. It is unreasonable to entrust Miss Alice with all this burden. You have to work harder." The landlady told Merlin One sentence.

"Ah... oh

Merlin responded blankly, thinking to wait!Something is wrong!Alice is the kind of speculator who reaps the benefits of the fisherman!Accidentally agreed! Hey!

After the landlady left, Merlin finally couldn't help but look at Alice and questioned her.

"Miss, how do you manage the money? If you can't, I will replace you. Now I seriously suspect that you, a little bitch, took advantage of my inattention and secretly embezzled the common property to fill your own pocket and benefit yourself!

"What nonsense are you talking about!? Would I do such a despicable thing!?" Alice stared angrily.

"Then why do you even owe the rent now? Isn't it your responsibility?" Merlin put a basin of dirty water on Alice's head o) CEz Xiaohui f

"My small treasury was originally used to pay rent, but some prodigal bastard squandered the money at the racetrack. Who is to blame? Who is to blame!?" Alice said confidently, with her hands on her hips looking domineering.

"Who is to blame for this?" Merlin suddenly froze, unable to refute, so he had no choice but to change the subject, "Alice, there will be bread and milk. Let's not focus on it narrowly. Keeping my small treasury, I have to look to the future. Didn’t I get 1000 gold coins in Ireland? Although it’s not enough, it can also solve the urgent need. Why not give it to the landlady……Alice said with a strong and sluggish look , "I compensated John and his family for repairing the house. Wasn't the house broken because of me?"

"Don't they need you to pay for it?" Merlin had a surprised expression on his face, thinking that there might be something wrong with Alice's mind~

"I feel that I have my own responsibility, and I need to bear it." Alice pouted and responded, as if she didn't want to admit her mistake.

"Hiss~" Merlin gasped, his face darkened immediately, he patted Alice's shoulders, and said solemnly: "Alice, I won't refute when people say I'm a prodigal.

"But you say I'm a prodigal, and I certainly won't accept it.'

"Because in the field of prodigals, we are both authorities, and it's hard to distinguish..."

Chapter 5: Parsing the Journal

Alice didn't quite agree with Merlin's "indistinguishable siblings", and she was different from this bastard.

Forcibly indistinguishable, it simply lowered Alice's level.

In fact, Merlin is a self-interested prodigal, and Alice is a mentally retarded prodigal, there are indeed some differences.

Alice didn't want to be as knowledgeable as Merlin, and she didn't bother to mention his "glorious" history of squandering tens of millions of gold.

So Alice snorted coldly, went back to the room and began to change clothes, it was more important to be serious.

After being busy for a while, both of them got ready and went straight out to find Da Vinci, hoping that she could help translate this ancient diary.

Merlin and Alice first went to the guild to look for it, but they didn't see Da Vinci.

By asking Rukia, I learned that Da Vinci came back a few days ago. According to her habit, the two must not have stayed too much in the laboratory of the library, but immediately went to Wrexham. library.

This made Hobbs, who was full of guard against Merlin coming over for a drink, wondered, why is Merlin so serious?in a hurry...

On the way to the library, Merlin curiously asked Alice

"Alice, Miss Da Vinci never comes home? Why do you always go to the library?"

"The library is her home. It's sponsored by Earl Austin. It looks like a library, but it's actually a laboratory. Da Vinci lives and eats in it." Alice responded angrily, wondering how long Merlin had been here, Don't even know such a thing.

In fact, Merlin spoke to Da Vinci very rarely, and he was more familiar with Hobbs than Da Vinci.

"So hard? What is she studying?"

"Of course it's alchemy. Da Vinci was obsessed with it, and almost all his energy was devoted to it...

The library, Da Vinci's laboratory.

The desktop is full of bottles and cans, and the colorful liquids are dazzling.

Da Vinci's daily life is to do experiments every day, constantly eliminate some mistakes, and make his skills more refined.

She has a dream, that is to create the sacred object of alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone is a treasure that countless alchemists have been pursuing all their lives. It is said that it has the power to turn decay into magic, create things out of thin air, and more evil functions. I am afraid that it has the ability to make the mortal body immortal. The reason why many rich merchants of the royal family are willing to sponsor alchemists.

I hope to get the Philosopher's Stone to satisfy my desires. Although I know that the chance of getting the Philosopher's Stone is pitifully small, there are still many people rushing to it.

Creating the Philosopher's Stone is Da Vinci's long-standing pursuit, and it is also something that can prove her strength.

Leonardo da Vinci has been learning alchemy since he was 7 years old, and he has been + for many years, but he has never seen even the dregs of the Philosopher's Stone.

This also made Da Vinci very confused, suspecting that the Philosopher's Stone was a non-existent thing, and it did not exist at all.

But Da Vinci didn't want to give up. After all, he put in so much energy, it would be too bad if he gave up.

At this time, Da Vinci was busy doing experiments at the experimental table, while Rossetti sat on the sofa, looking bored and doing nothing: "Da Vinci, are you still okay? Let's end the day like this?"

"It's not close." Da Vinci was busy with the experiment and didn't even look at Rossetti.

"You haven't slept since last night, why don't you take a little rest?" Rossetti lay lazily on the sofa.

"Human life is limited, wasting it on sleep is a terrible thing." Da Vinci said solemnly.

"You are so serious..." Rossetti sighed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Since I knew you, I found that you have been making Philosopher's Stones non-stop. It has been five or six years. In the end, [-]% of this thing is fabricated by others, you should learn to give up, right?" "I believe that the Philosopher's Stone exists, even if it takes a lifetime to research... Da Vinci put down the test tube in his hand, looked back To Rossetti, "If you feel bored, you can go out by yourself, maybe you can meet Arnold.

... Rossetti's expression became unnatural, and he immediately sat up straight, "What's Theanod doing? I don't really want to see him. He avoids me like a snake. Every time he sees me, he runs away. Five "' Play "Don't you like Arnold?" Da Vinci showed a half-smile, as if he was teasing.

"So what?" Rossetti didn't shy away from his feelings, and said frankly, "I like him, but he doesn't like me, but he has a soft spot for Alice, so I don't understand it at all. What is going on in the mind of the noble young master?"

"I think it's because you are too enthusiastic, which scares Arnold. If you are more reserved, I think Arnold will also find the bright spots in you, so he will have a good impression of you." Da Vinci thought about it.

"No, no, no, Arnold is a coward. If I were more reserved, he would be very happy." Rossetti waved his hands again and again, feeling that Da Vinci's suggestion was not very reliable.

Just as Da Vinci was about to say something, the door of the laboratory was knocked suddenly with a "dong dong dong". Seeing that Da Vinci was busy, Rossetti consciously went to open the door, only to see Merlin Standing outside the door with Alice.

"Huh? Why are you two here?"
