The Unemployed Demon Lord

"I will keep my promise and hand over the promised reward to you."

"No, we..." Alice suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't talk about Miss Alice, this is what you deserve. After all, I am also a princess of the elves, and I have my own dignity. How can I not pay back the favor?" Shirley said seriously, seeming to want Alice to accept it. Lower your own kindness.

"This..." Alice seemed a little hesitant, looking undecided.

"What's more, Ms. Alice and Mr. Merlin are both adventurers. They are often on the go. It's not easy. It's nothing if I try my best." Shirley said seriously, with a determined look.

"That's right, it's not easy for us, if you can give us tens of millions more... Huh!?"

Before Merlin finished speaking, Alice gagged him, preventing him from speaking casually.

"You have a conscience, don't open your mouth to your friend Lion, okay? You really don't want any face, I want you if you don't want it..." Alice warned in a low voice with a dark face, almost confused by Merlin's anger.

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Merlin's forehead, and he thought in embarrassment, this guy Alice is so naive...

"We ask for money based on our strength, why are we talking shamelessly?"

"No, 100 million gold coins is already quite a lot, don't be dissatisfied." Alice whispered seriously, not wanting Merlin's claws to reach out to Shirley.

Merlin rolled his eyes and thought to himself, Alice is such an idiot, the gap between the debt of tens of millions of gold coins and the reward of one million gold coins is not ordinary!

From this point of view, the reward for the two of them to receive 100 million gold coins is indeed not much.

Shirley smiled awkwardly at the side, thinking that Mr. Merlin and Miss Alice showed their affection regardless of time and occasion...

While the three of them were chatting, the door to the living room was slowly opened, and Samuel walked in directly, looking very busy.

"His Royal Highness Shirley..."

When Samuel came up, he called softly and came to Shirley's side.

She looked at Shirley with surprise on her face. She was indeed the youngest daughter of the Elf King. Although she was a little less immature after wandering for more than half a year, she was still recognizable at a glance...

Samuel showed an excited expression on the surface, faintly as if he was about to cry, but in fact he was ecstatic inside.

I can't wait to arrest Shirley now, and then dedicate her soul to His Majesty Ashdore.

"Aunt Samuel..."

Shirley watched Samuel stand up in great surprise, and couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

Looking at the current situation, Shirley seems to know Samuel, and they look very familiar.

Shirley never thought that the ambassador of the elves in London was Samuel, which was too coincidental.

Shirley is still very familiar with Samuel, because she is the mother's confidant, and often appears by her mother's side, and she has always called her aunt.

"His Royal Highness Shirley..." Samuel grabbed Shirley's hand and said sadly, "Where did you go? Why is there no news at all? Do you know how worried Your Majesty is about you?"

"What happened to my father?" Shirley became worried when she heard Samuel mention her father.

"Her Majesty Shirley, as soon as you disappeared, His Majesty searched for you everywhere. I heard that he was still talking about you not long ago." Samuel and even Shirley's weak character, as long as he said a little alarmist, he was afraid that she would not listen obediently. own words?

"Is...is it..." Shirley's expression became a little nervous, and she blamed herself, "It's all my fault for being too playful, making my father worry about me so much, I am really useless, and I will cause trouble for others... ..."

"Your Highness Shirley, don't blame yourself. Haven't you come back safely now? This is something worth celebrating. If Your Majesty waits until you come back, the biggest heart disease will be cured." Samuel said seriously, Show a very pleased expression.

"It seems that I have to go back as soon as possible..." Shirley's thoughts of going home became more and more intense.

"Don't worry, can Your Highness tell me about the six months of disappearance?" Samuel asked patiently.

"That's a long story..."

Shirley sat down with Samuel and began a succinct narrative.

It's basically the outline of the matter, saying that he was abducted by human traffickers, and then rescued by Merlin and Alice?

"Really, Your Highness Shirley has suffered a lot in the past six months. Even though we are in Great Britain, we haven't found it for so long. This is our dereliction of duty..." Samuel wiped away the crocodile's tears. Do it for the people around you to see.

"It's okay, Aunt Samuel, haven't I come back?" Shirley comforted Samuel.

"That's right, as long as you come back safely, if something happens to His Royal Highness Shirley, we can only apologize with death..."

Shirley smiled awkwardly, feeling that the matter was a bit serious.

Samuel sneaked a glance at Alice and Merlin, and noticed them both from the beginning, so he inadvertently asked, "Your Highness Shirley, these two are..."

"They are my benefactors, Miss Alice and Mr. Merlin." Shirley introduced happily.

"Hello..." Merlin responded casually.

"Hello Ms. Samuel, we are adventurers from Wrexham." Alice was still a little enthusiastic, unlike Merlin's lazy look.

"Adventurer..." Samuel responded in a low voice, narrowing his eyes and looking at Merlin and Alice

A high-level magic swordsman?

It's so weak, don't pay attention to it at all.

The other is a black iron villager with no magic power! ?

He can't even be called weak, he's a complete piece of trash.

Why can two third-rate characters save Shirley, a silly princess! ?

Chapter 8

Samuel looked at Merlin and Alice and felt that things were a little weird.

Just now Shirley said things in a shocking way, as if the traffickers were very strong.

But Shirley did not introduce the situation at that time in detail, and did not mention the remaining evils of the kingdom.

Not to mention Merlin's outstanding performance, but simply introduced the matter.

This made Samuel receive limited information, and he didn't pay attention to Alice and Merlin.

Samuel unilaterally believed that Merlin and Alice rescued Shirley from the traffickers because of their opportunism.

Otherwise, how can a high-ranking person and a dispensable villager defeat a powerful human trafficker?

"Huh?" Merlin frowned, noticing the flash of contempt in Samuel's eyes.

But Samuel quickly covered it up, pretended to be very grateful, stood up and bowed to Merlin and Alice.

"Thank you for helping Her Highness Shirley, you have really helped us a lot. This kindness will be remembered by our entire elves."

"No, no, you are very kind, we are just lifting our hands." Alice responded very politely.

"No, what you have done deserves our eternal gratitude." Samuel said seriously, intending to deal with Merlin and Alice casually.

"Yes, Ms. Alice, without you, I may never be able to return to my hometown. Please tell me what you want in return." Shirley echoed in a very sensible way, just wanting to thank Merlin and Alice.

"1..."

"stare--"

As soon as Merlin said a word, he attracted Alice's gaze, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he had to change his words.

"100... ten thousand gold coins?"

"This... this?" Shirley said awkwardly with a drop of cold sweat streaming down her forehead, "I will give it to you as soon as I return to China."

"Really, don't forget, otherwise Alice, a cheapskate, will go to the southern United Kingdom to ask for it." Merlin still didn't forget to black Alice.

"Who is a cheapskate? Am I going to be so persistent!? Don't add your narrow-mindedness to me!" Alice's lungs were almost blown out by Merlin.

"Hey~" Merlin grinned heartlessly, seeing Alice's angry appearance, he was still secretly happy.

Samuel was very disdainful of Merlin and Alice, and thought that they were really for money, and had no pursuit at all.

But Samuel didn't show it, he still said it kindly on the surface.

"You two haven't eaten, have you? Do you want to have dinner with us?"

What Samuel said now was just polite, he didn't want Merlin and Alice to stay at all, he wished they would leave.

"It's still..."

"Okay! Let's have dinner together, just let me try elf cuisine."

Alice didn't even say a word of refusal, and was directly interrupted by Merlin forcefully.

Merlin is still somewhat interested in the elves, especially the orthodox elves.

Because orthodox elves have always been mysterious and live in the deep forest for a long time, which makes people very curious.

Alice looked at Merlin with a complicated expression, not knowing what to complain about?

Samuel frowned slightly, thinking disgustedly in his heart

A mere black iron adventurer...

Is the skin a bit too thick?

Restaurant inside the embassy.

The circular table is very wide, surrounded by luxurious decoration, revealing an exotic style.

The staple food of orthodox elves is generally vegetables, and almost nothing else.

But to show the essence of vegetables, only the elves can do it.

Merlin felt that although the vegetable dishes were not as good as his own, they were not bad, and they were definitely better than Alice.

Alice was very happy to eat, and seemed to forget that she was going to decline just now.

Shirley changed into a light blue long dress, put on expensive jewelry, and even had a small silver and white diamond-studded crown on her head.

This attire immediately made Shirley a lot more noble, and it fit her princess status very well, not at all like the usual timid girl next door.

Samuel secretly glanced at Merlin, seeing that he didn't seem to be surprised at all, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

The dishes in the embassy are all made by very high-level chefs, and ordinary people can't eat them at all, let alone these adventurers who eat and sleep in the open.

So Samuel thought for a while, and couldn't help asking.

"Mr. Merlin, doesn't this elf cuisine suit your taste?"
