The Unemployed Demon Lord

This kind of crystal card is generally provided by a large chamber of commerce. As long as you go to the website of the chamber of commerce, you can exchange it for a relatively high amount of money, but the amount is not certain.

Because it is too inconvenient to carry a large number of gold coins, but with this crystal card, it saves a lot of load, and most of them are used for large payments.

Merlin and Alice stared at the crystal card on the table without saying a word. They wondered in their hearts, what exactly does the countess want to do?Not only invite dinner, but also give away money for nothing! ?

"There are 50 gold coins in here, and I will take it as a thank you gift." Camilla paused, then smiled and said tactfully, "After you accept it, you can go back to Britain."

"I will take over the rest of the matter, so you don't have to worry about it, how about it?

Chapter 11: Don't Appreciate (Monthly Pass Plus Update)

After listening to Camilla's words, Alice narrowed her eyes immediately, thinking what does this mean?Let us leave after stuffing the money, and take over the rest of the matter with full power. Is this a trick to bribe us?

What is the reason?What makes the Countess want us to leave so badly?

Sure enough, enthusiasm is only a superficial phenomenon. The original intention is to let us not meddle in our own business, right?

The countess definitely has a ghost in her heart, otherwise why are she so worried about the mysterious disappearance of the population that she and Merlin are investigating?

Alice frowned, realizing that today was not as simple as just eating, and it might be troublesome. There should be something wrong with it. Although Camilla's attitude is very kind, it has already formed resistance to the two of them.

Merlin stared at the crystal card for a while. This small crystal card is worth 50 gold coins?It seems that there is already a lot, even if you help Earl Austin lift the family curse, you will not get so much money.

Comparing the two, Merlin is a little bit unsteady, even a little shaken. It is obvious that the benefits here are more?

So Merlin sneaked closer to Alice and communicated with her in a low voice.

"Alice, there's a lot of money here, 50 gold, why don't we meddle in our own business and leave France directly?"

'what? "Alice Xia Ran was taken aback, and then said dissatisfiedly, "What are you thinking?Give money to make you betray?How do we explain to Earl Austin when we go directly to Britain?will lose credit.

"Credit can't be eaten, can it? The Earl of Austin can't give 50 gold. After weighing the benefits, it's obviously better here. Merlin doesn't think about things with too much emotion, and choosing the best is a normal thing. .

"No, you can't have no limit at all. We are adventurers, and we have to complete the task with all our strength. What's the matter if we are persuaded to come back? Do you have any professional ethics?" Alice said righteously .

"Tsk!" Merlin was stunned. He didn't understand why Alice was so persistent. The main task she came out with was to make money. Do you still need to continue working when you have the money?

"Your Excellencies, I don't know how the discussion is going? If possible, please accept the money. I will have someone prepare a carriage tomorrow morning, and take the two of you to the port to leave France." Camilla felt that her asking price was very high. Rich, what do adventurers work for?Of course it's money. As long as the money is paid enough, what reason do they have to continue the investigation?

"Sorry, we..."

"We accepted this money as a reward for destroying the mercenary group, right? But the mysterious disappearance of the population... we still have to take care of it.

Alice originally wanted to refuse, but Merlin took the first step, put the crystal card in his arms, and called it "a reward for destroying the mercenary group", completely ignoring how ugly Camilla's face was.

If Merlin's skin thickened, he would have basically reached the point of inhumanity. Although he took money, it was not considered ignoring Alice's wishes.

Alice looked at Merlin who put the crystal card in her pocket, and couldn't help but get weird. She thought that every time this guy took advantage, his IQ would increase by 200%, and he came up with 1 reasons for taking advantage.

Camilla's complexion turned ugly in an instant, and her deep meaning was that you guys get out of here quickly after taking the money, and don't be an eyesore here in Avignon.

As a result, Merlin was so thick-skinned that he successfully refreshed Camilla's three views. The money was sent out, but the matter was not completed.

Camilla knew that Merlin was the big devil, so she definitely didn't have the confidence to turn her back on him directly, and she probably couldn't beat him.

"Ah... That's right, this is the reward you two deserve. You must have made a lot of money during this trip, so you should be able to go back?"

"Ah? Why did we leave Avignon? We didn't finish the mission, so we left... Merlin thought about it, and said, "No professional ethics~

Camilla almost vomited blood from Merlin's prudence, and scolded in her heart, you big devil pretending to be your sister's big-tailed wolf here!Everyone is not a good thing!Professional ethics!If you really need professional ethics, you should go and occupy all human empires!

"Aren't you adventurers? Then don't worry about things you can't manage. Tell me, how much is the bounty for your mission? In order to compensate you, I will double it.

"Lord, it's not about money? Why do you want us to leave so much? Is there a reason?" Alice asked blankly.

"To be honest, there are officials in the empire secretly supporting the mercenary group, and the business of human trafficking is common in secret. This involves political games. You are just adventurers and should not participate. Besides, I am an Avignon The ruler of the country, it is my responsibility to deal with the matter of the Dick Turpin mercenary group. You have no right to interfere with me, right? If you insist on interfering, then I have no choice but to use the laws of the empire to deal with you, and I will contact adventurers in the Headquarters of the Kingdom of Denmark, tell me about your rudeness in Avignon. Although Camilla said it very euphemistically, her intention of threatening and intimidating is very obvious.

Adventurers are not able to do whatever they want, they need to abide by the local rules, otherwise they will be sanctioned by the headquarters and face the penalty of being kicked out of the team or downgraded.

Although the adventurers belong to various regions, the headquarters located in the Kingdom of Denmark is the real manager of the adventurers.

This mode of reporting is somewhat similar to complaints in the civilized world. If you don't want to downgrade or affect your income, it's better not to make mistakes.

"Oh? Your lord is threatening us?" Alice looked at Camilla coldly.

"It's not a threat. I just said that you two are from Great Britain. This is France. If you want to go smoothly, I think you need to be honest." Camilla said in a sincere tone.

"Is the lord worried that what we find out will be bad for you? Or is it hiding something?" Alice looked at Camilla, but she is also an old fox, and there will be no flaws in the cover-up.

"What am I hiding?" Camilla smiled calmly.

"We pressed those mercenaries, saying that you have frequent contacts with the leader of the mercenary group. Is that leader hiding here?" Alice tentatively asked, looking around, as if looking for clues."Haha, what nonsense, those mercenaries dare to say anything in order to survive, do you think what they said has any credibility?" Camilla spread her hands.

Alice was at a loss. When she came here, she didn't find anything unusual except that the castle was gloomy. Now that Camilla has put aside all ties, it seems that there is no need to talk about it.

"Sorry, we won't leave until we investigate what's going on here. Thank you for your hospitality, Merlin, let's go."

After Alice finished speaking, she pulled Merlin away. He was so kind, he took off the roasted chicken leg, pointed at Camilla with the chicken leg and said, "We won't leave. If you give us 10 times the reward, we can think about it. Think about it carefully? Only 10! Not much!"

After Merlin and Alice left, only Camilla and his subordinates were left at the dinner table, which looked deserted.

The dishes on the table, except for the chicken legs that were dragged away by Merlin, were almost untouched.

Camilla's face was gloomy, she lowered her head and said nothing, exuding a deadly aura all over her body.

The subordinate looked at Camilla, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what should we do next?" Camilla stood up from the chair with a grim expression on her face, showing the veins on her arms, and slapped her hard. At the dining table, the long table in front of me was suddenly smashed into powder: "A couple of dogs and men!You ungrateful animal! "

"Deceitful

(+n▲)

Chapter 12: Time is running out

When the subordinates saw that Camilla was so angry, they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to vent their anger.

It seems that the attitudes of Merlin and Alice, who are soft and hard, make Camilla particularly annoyed.

The blood vessels on Camilla's forehead were pulsating, and the expression on her face was distorted by annoyance, completely lacking the calm posture of a noble lady before.

"What is that human woman!? If Lucifer III hadn't been sitting next to her, I would have ripped her mouth out on the spot!

"My lord, since the other party refuses to let go, should we think of other ways?" The subordinate asked in a low voice, with a submissive look, afraid that the lord would vent his anger on himself.

"Other ways? How can there be any other way? Let them continue to investigate, and our family will definitely be involved, and during the time they are in Avignon, we can no longer just kidnap humans. Next month, if Med Master Si still needs human sacrifices? What shall we give him?" Camilla's tone was serious, and she was faintly forced to a dead end. If it wasn't for fear and Lucifer III, she would have cut the mess quickly and sent all the obstacles to the grave .

"Then if we want to confront this great demon head-on, what are our chances of winning? If it doesn't work, we can ask Lord Midas to deal with Lucifer III in person. What's more, there is us to assist." The subordinates feel that it is safer to ask for foreign aid in this situation, and it may be difficult to win if they cause disputes without authorization.

Camilla lowered her head and thought about it, then shook her head and vetoed the answer, "At this juncture, it is an important moment when our father is about to wake up. Lord Meadows must be busy with sacrifices and won't have time to deal with Lu Xifa III, if he insists on letting him assist us, it will definitely affect his father's plan to wake up. If this is the case? We are too incompetent...

"But Lucifer III... the subordinates are hesitant to speak, thinking that dealing with Lucifer III is the number one problem.

"Who said we were going to confront him head-on? I'm not a fool. Didn't I say yesterday that I was going to take his wife under the knife? In the current situation, we can't sit still and find a way to subdue them." Camilla corrected the misunderstanding, she never I thought about fighting the big devil.

"But how can we separate them? Obviously, that human woman is not easy to deal with. For some reason, I feel the pressure of the superior species from her." The subordinate said with a frown.

"What do you mean? Do you think I can't beat that human woman?" Camilla's eyes flashed fiercely, as if she was questioning.

"...No, my lord, you misunderstood. What I mean is that dealing with this woman is a little troublesome. We should choose a better hostage?" The subordinate quickly explained.

"A better hostage?" Camilla frowned, wondering what she was referring to?

"My lord, when I invited them to dinner just now, I overheard that they need to take care of their children. Compared with dealing with that female adventurer, I think it is more appropriate to take their children. Don’t you care about your own flesh and blood?” The subordinates disclosed this information to Camilla

"Is there a child?" Camilla's eyes became puzzled, and she was very surprised to hear the news. Lucifer III not only married a human being, but also had a child? !

"Yeah, although I didn't hear it very clearly, but when I heard that there were children to take care of, they didn't want to come to the banquet at first." The subordinate said with sly eyes, probably Camilla already knew how to do it?Guangwei 2

"I see, it's such a stupid couple who came out to take risks and brought their children... Camilla touched her sharp chin and thought about how to subdue the two of them in an instant. It's not too difficult.

Just need to adjust the policy...

In the middle of the night, in the room, the little girl was still sleeping soundly.

Merlin and Alice came back quickly enough without eating.

So the little girl didn't make any noise, and probably thought her mother was by her side.

Old Akalon lit the oil lamp and walked in with his coat on. Seeing that Merlin and Alice were talking about something, he hurried over.

"How is it? Is there any gain from going to the banquet late at night?" Old Akaron asked curiously.

Merlin spat out the chicken bone in his mouth and said flatly, "Here, this is the harvest."

"Tsk! Don't be joking, I'm serious." Old Akaron said helplessly.

"There's nothing too good about it. The lord does look very serious. We haven't seen any evidence of collusion with the mercenary group. Apart from the dim light in the castle, there seems to be nothing suspicious." Alice replied very seriously.

"Is that so?" Old Akalon touched his chin and asked tentatively, "The lord didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"That's not true." Alice replied in a low voice, afraid of disturbing the sleeping baby. h "Let me just say, the lord of Avignon is very conscientious and kind. How could he be a bad person? You must have made a mistake before." Old Acaron showed a relieved expression.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet. It's not too early to make a conclusion. The lord of Avignon said that the mercenary group is involved in many things. I hope we don't care about it. Let us leave France as soon as possible. This is not to drive us out. Leave?" Alice said seriously, now that things are not clear, she will definitely not leave the French Empire.

"... Is it a misunderstanding? "Old Akalon thinks it's nothing. If you wipe out Dick Turpin's mercenary group and offend the big shots of the empire, it's really not easy to do: 5 Mi: "What's the misunderstanding?She wants to drive us away?There must be a deep-seated reason for this...Alice paused, then said hesitantly, "Maybe our behavior touched her cake, and she started to feel anxious, so she invited us to dinner late at night and tried every means Let us leave Avignon and mind our own business."

"Hiss~!" Old Akalon took a deep breath, nodded, and said in agreement, "It is indeed possible.

"And that's not asking us to leave at all. The words are full of threats inside and out. If we don't leave, they may trouble us. Now I am more and more suspicious that the female lord has always been hypocritical. Only when there is a ghost in my heart will I be anxious. We're leaving, but we don't have any evidence right now, so we can't fight this female lord openly." Alice showed a depressed expression, temporarily unable to do anything.

"We can't leave. The mission has not been completed, and we still expect to investigate the disappearance of the population and find out the blood clan hidden in the dark." Old Akaron didn't agree with it and left like this, a bit useless.

"That's right, we didn't agree to leave." Alice reassured old Acaron.

CCz,

Say

"But the lord of Avignon is so powerful in the local area, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it? Do you have a solution?" Old Acaron looked at Merlin and Alice.

Merlin leaned on the chair, thought about the events of the past two days, and felt that there were frequent disappearances in Avignon, and this female lord was definitely involved: "Check this lord, her castle is so big, Impossible to have no clues at all.

"If you search carefully, what secrets should you find?

"We'll do it tomorrow if we can.

"Before being restricted by the other party's rights, make everything clear...
