The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Hobbs, why do you think Mr. Merlin challenged three people? Isn't he afraid of death?

"Who knows~" Hobbs shrugged, smiled without saying a word.

"Tsk, what's going on? It's so curious... Rukia frowned, thinking angrily that Mr. Merlin actually had the courage to challenge Katowice's ace?

I don't know if I can win in the end...

But just now, Mr. Merlin seemed to have repelled that guy named Noah and smashed the live broadcast crystal?

Being able to repel the trump card of the Katowice Guild must also have good strength.

Grandpa and father both favor Mr. Merlin, so he is really a low-key strongman! ?

No.20 The Subversive of the Seven-Volume Adventurer Tournament 52 Sudden Leaving (Gagan)

The crisis came to an end. Although some viewers were injured in the chaos, most of them survived without any danger.

The Arminius Arena was surrounded by Budapest's garrison shortly thereafter, and a series of events began to be investigated.

When the Emperor of Austria-Hungary learned that the cadres of the Dark Guild had sneaked in here secretly, the crown on his head was frightened, and he felt that he had brushed shoulders with death.

Fortunately, Phoenix didn't come here for himself, otherwise, how many people in this promising Budapest can compete with Flamel?

The Emperor of Austria-Hungary ordered the guards and knights to investigate this matter clearly and give himself a satisfactory answer.

The guards discovered the secrets under the ring. After Flamel left, he left scattered alchemy equipment, all of which showed that the destruction of the competition was premeditated?

As the person in charge of the construction of the arena for this competition, Countess Bathory became the object of suspicion of the guards.

It was impossible for Flamel to deceive everyone by building the underground of the Arminius Arena into a temporary alchemy laboratory.

The guards began to suspect that Countess Bathory had colluded with Flamel of the Dark Guild, and some secrets gradually surfaced.

When Merlin and Alice returned to the hotel, they found a letter left by Claudia in the room, "My lovely student Alice, I am very happy to see that you can grow from a crying child to a Mature people.

"I've observed it for a long time. You are right. Merlin is a nice person. If you like him, you can be with him. I won't stop you."

"I hope you can live a good life and bring up Chris well, so that when she grows up, she can become like you and be an upright person."

"I didn't come here this time to disturb your peaceful life, it's just that I don't feel at ease after seeing you for a long time."

"But now it seems that my worries are unnecessary. You can survive in this vicious world by yourself."

"There's no need for me to stay anymore. When you read this letter, I'm already on my way back to Daxueshan."

"I wish you happiness, Alice, as your teacher, I will give you a last word of advice."

"Never go back to Daxue Mountain, just live carefree like this. J"

Seeing the letter left by teacher Claudia, Alice frowned, feeling inexplicably sad.

Before, I wanted the teacher to leave quickly, but now I feel a little bit reluctant?

Alice felt that the last sentence of the teacher not letting her go back to Daxue Mountain was actually an angry word, maybe she really made the teacher unhappy.

Although the teacher admitted Merlin in the letter, it is probably because after watching the game and seeing Merlin's strength, his concept changed?

But leaving a letter and leaving without saying goodbye, Alice always felt that the teacher was overwhelmed, so she went back to Daxue Mountain without even seeing her.

"...Is it a bit too...

"What's the matter?" Merlin walked over, seeing Alice's face was a bit ugly, thought something happened?

"...Absolutely...Alice put away Claudia's letter and didn't want to show it to Merlin.

"What are you hiding? Let me see?" Merlin asked curiously.

"It's a letter from my teacher." Alice replied truthfully.

"Letter?" Merlin was surprised, wondering why he left a letter behind?minus 2

"My teacher has left," Alice explained.

"Leaving?" Merlin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention how stressful he has been recently, and it's been a long time since he's had a fight with Alice, and he's a bit uncomfortable. What are you doing with a sour face? We don’t have to act so tiringly anymore, do we? I’m terribly exhausted recently.”

"You!?" Alice stared at Merlin, then sighed, "I seem to have pissed off the teacher and left, and I feel a little sorry for her." Obviously before, you can't wait to send her back to the Snow Mountain yourself, right?Now I regret it again, what are you thinking? "Merlin was a little impatient, secretly complaining that Alice is a troublesome guy.

"...The situation is different!" Alice retorted angrily, looking at the letter in her hand, "When I have a chance, I will go back to Daxue Mountain to see her and apologize to the teacher."

"When your teacher is here, why don't you want to have a good chat with her?" Merlin asked helplessly.

"Then...she didn't have a good chat with me, I muttered angrily for...Alice, then changed the subject and asked, "How is Chris?

"I fell asleep, I must have been frightened." Merlin looked at Chris who was sleeping on the big bed.

"I didn't expect this to happen. Didn't you kill that member of the Dark Guild?" Alice asked curiously.

"No, the red stone on that guy's body is too weird. I feel a little bit of danger. The situation was dangerous at that time, and I couldn't afford to bet on it." Merlin replied indifferently.

Alice carefully recalled the situation at that time, and said thoughtfully, the beauty

"Also... Da Vinci knows something? She seems to recognize that person..."... <Outside Budapest, Claudia has gone a long way.

It seems that Claudia is not kidding, for some reason, she has to leave as soon as possible.

But Circe learned that Claudia had left suddenly, / silently followed her.

"Go back, Circe, you don't have to see me off anymore." Claudia stopped and said back.

"Are you going back to the Great Snow Mountain so soon? How long will it take to go back? Do you have a little lover on the Great Snow Mountain?" Circe smiled and joked meaningfully.

"Stop joking, I'm serious." Clodia became serious.

Circe was taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "Did something happen? That's why I left in a hurry. Although I don't like you, as long as you ask, I can help~"

Claudia seemed hesitant to speak, and didn't want to involve Circe, so she shook her head helplessly and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that it's boring outside, and it's better to relax on the Daxue Mountain.

"Really?" Circe lowered her head and muttered, "It's rare to meet again, so I shouldn't have had a few more drinks...".

Claudia looked at Circe and whispered, "I do need your help with something.

"Oh?" Circe suddenly became excited, and said triumphantly, "You really have something to ask of me? It's rare to see you so humble. Tell me, for the sake of working together in the past; I can agree.

Claudia was not angry with Circe's pride, and it might be the last time she was about to leave, "If necessary, can you help my student Alice?"

"Ai Li..." Circe paused, and continued, "Isn't she a student you are proud of? She still needs my help."

"I mean, if one day she is in crisis, I hope you don't want to save her." Clodia looked serious and her attitude was very sincere.

Circe has never seen Claudia like this, begging herself so sincerely, she has to be serious too, "Okay, I will" Goodbye Circe, hope we can meet again, I don't like it though Your character, but I know you are a kind person. '" Huh? It's a bit disgusting to say such words from your mouth...

Circe looked at the back of Claudia leaving, and became more and more puzzled in her heart. This was the first time that her deadly enemy said good things in this life.

Having known each other for so long, Circe has never felt that Claudia is as abnormal as today, which makes her a little incomprehensible.

Claudia lowered her head and headed towards the Daxue Mountain. Her face gradually darkened, and she began to think in her heart that Alfonso's melon teeth should have set off too. This black dragon priest will not let me go...

No.20 The Subversive of the Seven-Volume Adventurer Tournament 53 Chasing and Killing

Half a month later, the southern port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In order to avoid Alfonso's minions, Claudia is about to embark on a ship returning to the Holy Roman Empire.

However, Claudia was a little tired from traveling all night, so she took a rest in a tavern.

It was late at night, and there were very few guests in the tavern. Counting Claudia, there were only four of them, and one of them was the owner of the tavern.

Claudia changed into a robe and lowered her hat very low, not wanting anyone to see her, she lowered her head tiredly and drowsy for a while.

"Guest, your black coffee is ready." The owner of the tavern was a young woman with an amiable smile, and put the black coffee in front of Claudia.

"Thank you." Claudia responded lightly. She needed to escape from Alfonso's minions without sleep, so she needed something refreshing.

"You seem to be very tired? Do you want to go upstairs to rest?" the tavern owner said worriedly.

"No need, I'll leave immediately after drinking." Claudia said without looking up.

"So anxious? Where are the guests going? Maybe I can help." The tavern owner showed a kind smile, looking very worried about the traveler in front of him.

"No, thank you for your kindness." Claudia said coldly.

... The tavern owner's kindness was rejected, which made her feel embarrassed, so she had to walk away tactfully.

Seeing that there was no one around, Claudia felt relieved, rubbed her Jingming acupoint, and took a deep breath.

She felt that [I am already very happy to escape, Alfonso's minions should be left behind by me...

Claudia picked up the black coffee, sniffed it habitually, stared at the black coffee with wide eyes, and refused to take a sip.

As a person who has a close relationship with the old witch Circe, Claudia used to be exposed to various poisons. She believes that it is difficult to find someone who knows more about pharmacy than Circe.

The moment she sniffed the black coffee, Claudia immediately noticed that something was wrong with the smell. The coffee was obviously drugged!

How could a decent tavern put drugs in their customers' drinks? !Chances are Alfonso's minions have found him!

Thinking of this, Claudia fell into an ice cellar, and a deep chill penetrated into her bone marrow. She didn't expect that she escaped so quickly, but she still couldn't escape Alfonso's shadow completely.

Claudia put down the black coffee silently, looked up and looked at everyone in the tavern, her hand was already secretly on the hilt of the sword.

"Guest, what's wrong with you? Why don't you take a sip? Could it be that the coffee I made doesn't suit your taste?" The owner of the tavern had an anxious look on his face, and those who didn't know thought she was a very responsible boss, but in fact But he is an assassin who eats people without spitting out their bones.

Claudia was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said coldly, "Alfonso asked you to wait for me here?"

The tavern owner's smile froze, and he walked out slowly, "As expected of the court sword master back then, the poison we injected was already very secretive, and I didn't expect you to notice it.

As soon as the words fell, the other two male guests in the tavern stood up, and slowly flashed two cold short knives from behind.

The three of them came rushing to Claudia, the real owner of the tavern had died long ago, they disguised themselves and glared at Claudia and delivered them to the door.

"..." Claudia sighed, and said helplessly, "It's really haunting, and I also worked so hard to hunt.

"Stop talking nonsense, obediently come with us to see Lord Alfonso, otherwise you don't want to leave here!" the tavern owner threatened with a cold face.

The two male assassins behind them silently clenched their short knives, and the atmosphere became tense, as if they were about to fight at any moment!

"You guys of Alfonso's minions have the guts to threaten me?" Clodia raised her eyelids with a hint of irritation in her tone.

"We heard about you from Lord Alfonso. You were the most trusted knight around Princess Josephine and the number one swordsman in the Kingdom of Spain. On the night of the coup more than 20 years ago, you escaped from the palace overnight with Princess Diana. Countless people were killed along the way, and even the strongest Griffin Knights in the Kingdom were destroyed overnight, and the blood was stained red on the moat... The tavern owner said meaningfully.

"Since you know, you still dare to use such a despicable method as poisoning against me?" Clodia's eyes showed a faint murderous intent.
