The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Your Excellency Merlin... Tears of excitement welled up in old Akaron's withered eyes. No one had ever said the words "we need you" to him, it was almost like an affirmation of himself.

Merlin ignored the old Acaron, but came to Alice and looked at the injury.

Although it is serious, it is not fatal. Relying on the strength of the dragon clan, this kind of skin trauma can heal on its own in about 5 days.

"Alice, are you all right? Need help?"

"Do you think I don't need it?" Alice rolled her eyes.

Merlin knocks Alice from the ground.Picking her up, she grinned in pain, she still looked in pain.

"Why didn't you listen to my dissuasion just now, and killed that tree man very much, he might have clues of the blood race?"

"Really?" Merlin finally realized that there was such a connection at all.

"Your reaction is very strange. I've never seen you so excited when killing someone..." Alice had already sensed Merlin's strength.

"..." Merlin had to admit that he was dominated by the desire to survive just now, and he couldn't control so much. His mind was full of killing the other party to ease the curse for himself, but he would definitely not tell Alice about this kind of thing, "If I didn't do it in time just now If you make a shot, Mr. Akaron will be trampled to death, is that okay?"

Well...well, I don't mean to blame you

Alice leaned against Merlin's arms and lowered her head silently, feeling that this matter had nothing to do with Merlin, it was all caused by accidental accidents, obviously human life was more important than mission clues.

"Let's go back to the church first, you need to recuperate to recover from your injuries." Merlin said seriously, Alice's current state is not suitable for continuing to act.

Alice suddenly thought of something, raised her head in a hurry and pulled Merlin's sleeve, and said anxiously, "Bottle!"

"The bottle in the Chamber of Secrets!

"That thing is weird, we have to take it back!"

((Io))

Chapter 20: The Mysterious Bottle

In the chapel a few days later.

Merlin and his party had already returned from the depths of the altar, and brought along the mysterious silver bottle by the way.

Knowing from the dead tree population, Alice felt that the bottle should still have unsolved secrets.

Maybe it has some kind of connection with the birth of the blood race, so it must be investigated carefully.

In the middle of the night, the candlelight on the table was dim, and Merlin, Alice, Akalon, and the dead priest were sitting together, ready to study the bottle carefully.

Since the priest doesn't know how to heal, Alice can only apply some trauma medicine and rely on the dragon's self-healing ability to recover from the injury.

At this moment, Alice looked like a seriously injured patient, with a bandage wrapped around her arm, hanging around her neck, looking a little embarrassed.

The priest looked at Alice, who was suffering from injuries, and said worriedly, "Is Miss Alice okay? It looks like you have gone through a very brutal battle...

"It's okay, it's just some skin trauma, and it will recover after a few days of rest." Alice gave everyone a reassuring look, thinking that fortunately the tree man was killed by Merlin before showing his true strength. Seriously, I'm afraid I've been crushed to death long ago.

Old Akalon saw that Alice was not in good condition, so he also asked, "Is it really okay? I feel that your injury is not serious." Don't worry, Alice has always been rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so this injury is not a big deal. Mostly just a few nights of pain. "Melin said casually beside him, now that the curse that threatened his life has stabilized, he is in a pretty good mood, and he can finally relax during this period of time.

Kou r Mu Xiaowan

"Tsk!" Alice frowned her delicate little eyebrows, and gave Merlin an elbow fiercely, protesting that this guy has no sympathy and even hurt herself, so she can't change her normal routine and say something nice to make herself feel better a little?

"What are you doing?" Merlin rubbed his chest and muttered with displeasure.

"You're the only one with thick skin and thick flesh, and your whole family is rough-skinned and thick-skinned." Alice cursed angrily.

A drop of cold sweat dripped down on the priest's forehead, and he interrupted embarrassingly, "It doesn't seem easy this time? Is it really dangerous in the altar? Youqiang" is not very dangerous, but very dangerous. There is a tree man, so huge!Almost hit the clouds! "Old Akalon danced excitedly with an exaggerated expression.

"...Is that so? There are tree spirits in that forest. I've never heard of it." The priest's face changed, and he felt very incredible

"You don't know how strong that tree is, even Miss Alice can't beat it. If Lord Merlin hadn't stepped forward at the most dangerous moment, we might all have died there." Old Akaron sighed. said.

"Eh

The priest was taken aback suddenly, showing an expression of disbelief, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.

An enemy that even Miss Alice can't beat, what can Her Excellency Merlin do? J play and Miss Alice was seriously injured, obviously the one who contributed the most.

Merlin and Akalon were unscathed, probably the salted fish shouting 666 beside them, right?

The priest coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and didn't intend to get entangled in these things, just pretending that Akaron's Alzheimer's disease had occurred.

"Is this the mysterious bottle you brought back from the secret room of the altar? It seems to be quite old."

"There is no treasure in that secret room, but this bottle is very suspicious. Miss Alice strongly demanded to bring this thing back." Old Acaron explained.

Curiously, the priest picked up the silver bottle on the table, opened the cap and looked inside. There was nothing there, it was just an ordinary thing.

"What's suspicious about this bottle? I've checked it before, and it doesn't seem weird." Merlin asked Alice beside him.

"The tree man said that it exists only to protect this bottle, saying that the source of evil is sealed inside, and if it is released, it will cause cholera to the world." Alice said succinctly.

"It's not so exaggerated, is it?" Merlin's forehead slipped a few black lines, "The source of evil? I don't know why, when I opened it, there was nothing inside. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Akaron.

"Yes, nothing, I testify." Old Akalon nodded seriously.

"Oh~, so you are the one who tricked me behind my back? If you don't open this bottle, that tree man won't attack me angrily!" Alice glared at Merlin angrily, as if she was in a secret room What did Merlin and old Acaron do to anger the Treant, as expected, "Your family...almost killed me..."...

"Uh,... Merlin frowned, and explained awkwardly, "I didn't know you would be attacked outside, so it's too much to put the blame on me?

"Shout! I'm really good at quibbling. Is there something that everyone is discussing before taking action? You will cause trouble if you decide on your own. Look at my hand?" Alice raised her bandaged hand and complained) "Every three Don't even think about moving for four days.

"It has nothing to do with me. Even if I don't open the bottle, you will be attacked by the tree man. In its eyes, we are intruders." Merlin emphasized that this matter has nothing to do with him.

"Hmph, I never had good things when I was with you, I always got hurt." Alice puffed out her gills, sullen.

"This is my station... Merlin retorted bluntly, and didn't let Alice go just because she was wounded.

"Your Excellency, don't argue, don't we want to find out what this bottle is?" Seeing the tense atmosphere, old Akalon quickly jumped out to ease it, and then said to the priest, "Father, this bottle is on our way." I have checked it several times, but I have no clue at all, you have lived in this land since you were a child, can you see anything?"

"...It doesn't seem to be anything special from the outside, but we have a tradition in Glenn Plains. The bottle will have some information carved on the body to record certain events, and...Father F Mu Xiaowan was talking, while He wiped the silver bottle vigorously with his sleeve, as if to erase the dullness on it.

The originally darkened bottle became brighter and brighter under the rubbing of the priest's sleeve, and at this moment, traces of patterns could be faintly seen.

"Look, it's really like this. Because the bottle is too old, the carvings on it are blurred, but it can still be seen after polishing."

"Oh! that's true, Father

The three of them admired in unison, and watched the priest wipe the bottle with astonishment.

I didn't have any clues along the way, but when I got to the priest, I found clues.

It seems that there are some things that only native-born people know, and outsiders can't see through them at all.

With the priest's wiping, the entire bottle has become brand new, and the engraved pattern on it has also become clear.

That is not a gorgeous pattern at all, but a simple mural, or a stickman version without aesthetic feeling.

The priest looked at the bottle in his hand, frowned deeply, and then widened his eyes, speaking incoherently in shock: "This is it!

Chapter 21: True Ancestor

Alice looked at the painting on the bottle, and gradually became confused. Why did it look familiar?Like where have you seen it?

Seeing the priest's reaction, Merlin seemed to have made some major discovery, and just as he was about to ask, Old Acaron preempted him: "What's the matter? Father, what does the painting on it mean?"

"It looks like...the story of the Goddess creating Cain and Abel?" The priest said solemnly. It seemed that he was not completely sure, but he thought it was too similar.

Hearing the priest's words, Alice suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, and realized that the painting on the bottle seemed to be the story of the goddess of light creating two lives!

Alice was a former brave man who belonged to the Holy See. Naturally, she had seen the teachings of the believers, and this picture was in every teaching!

"Ming...ah no! Slip of mouth, the story of the Goddess of Light creating man? What the hell is this?" Merlin asked with doubts on his face. I can't understand the painting at all.

The priest quickly took out a thick book of doctrine from his arms, which startled Merlin. The old man was so excited that he wanted to join the church. "Look, don't they look alike?"

The priest turned over a certain page of his teachings, put it on the table, and asked everyone to look at the picture on it. The woman shining with light behind the picture should be the supreme goddess of light.

As for the stickman composed of two symbols kneeling on the ground below, it should have been created.

Merlin raised his head to look at the mysterious bottle combined with the pictures on the teachings. The content on it overlapped very much, and it seemed to be telling the same thing, which made people very confused.

"It's unmistakable. What is written on this bottle should be the story of the Goddess of Light creating Cain and Abel." Alice said in a positive tone.

"What's the point of this story?" Merlin asked curiously, obviously Alice knew more about this than himself.

"This story is recorded by the Holy See. It is said that after the twilight of the gods, the Goddess of Light became the only god in the heaven. Because she felt so lonely, she decided to create two people to accompany her. They are the brothers Cain and Abel." Alice paused , A little recalled, "These brothers were very good at first. In order to repay the goddess of light's creation, they presented gifts to the so-called mother every autumn harvest season. Cain found that the goddess of light preferred the cattle and sheep that Abel offered, and He didn't like his own fruit, so Cain began to hate his younger brother Abel, thinking that he was playing tricks. In the end, Cain killed Abel with his own hands, and pushed his younger brother down to the heaven and fell into the mortal world. The blood relatives were punished by the goddess, sealed into the holy bottle, and cursed to be immortal and thirsty for blood, forever broken by hunger and desire

"Miss Alice knows the story of the Holy See very well?" The priest was very happy to see that Alice knew so much about the Illuminati.

"...Yes, I just understand a little bit." Alice concealed that she didn't want to admit that she was a hero of the 233rd generation, and her reputation was already bad. People." The priest smiled kindly at Alice.

"Immortality? Longing for blood? Why is this so similar to the characteristics of the blood race?" Merlin frowned and asked.

"It's really similar...Alice stared at the mysterious silver bottle," fell silent.

"It's not surprising. In the Illuminati, we clergy all call Cain the true ancestor." The priest wiped the lampshade to make the surroundings brighter.

"True Ancestor? What is this?" Merlin's mind was full of question marks, and he didn't quite understand this term.

"True ancestor means the ancestor of the vampire, the strongest and the first vampire, but Cain is not such a despicable existence as a vampire. He was created by the goddess himself, and he is a god of misbehavior!" The priest said seriously, as if he didn't like it very much. Cain is completely equated with the vampire.

"God?" Merlin showed a look of disdain, seriously doubting the authenticity of it.

Anyway, Merlin has never seen any gods?God's servants have seen it.

For example, the Hell Apostle who only wanted to recruit Merlin but was hacked to death.

However, there is a gap between the mortal world and the heaven and hell. Unless a special method is used to open the way, otherwise it is difficult to interfere with each other. Even Merlin's sword can't ignore this rule.

The secret code of the former kingdom combined with the magic circle used a special method. It once broke through the barrier between hell and the mortal world in an instant, and summoned the Burning Legion of Hell, but it was destroyed by Merlin, and the gate was destroyed.

So Merlin would not believe that gods would appear in this world every now and then, because it is said that after the dusk of the gods, most of the gods died, so what kind of onion is Cain?

"Although Miss Alice's story just now is fairly accurate, it's not complete. After Cain was sealed into the Holy Pot, he was thrown into the mortal world, and he was also sent a giant tree from the heavens to guard him to prevent any curious humans from approaching him. Evil Cain 2..." The priest seemed a little confused, just after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the whole thing was wrong, so he quickly checked, "Acaron, you said you encountered a dryad at the altar?"

"That's right, it's a big tree man, very cruel." Old Acaron gestured exaggeratedly.

"The sealed evil, the holy pot thrown by the goddess into the mortal world, guarded by the giant tree in the heavens..." The priest couldn't continue, and his expression gradually became terrified.
