The Unemployed Demon Lord

When the two came in, they saw three corpses lying on the ground. Obviously, there was a fight here just now.

"Master Merlin, what happened?" Cecilia asked eagerly.

"It's nothing, it's just a few little thieves." Merlin waved his hand casually.

"Little thief?" Kyle looked at the three dead people on the ground. Let's not talk about the scaly Mark, but the other two are ordinary humans. It seems not good to kill casually.

Alice saw Kyle's doubts, and helped Merlin explain, "These three guys are bullies in the village. When we came, they were doing evil."

"Really? There is indeed something wrong with this village. What is everyone afraid of?" Kyle nodded, and suddenly realized after hearing Alice's explanation.

"What are you afraid of?" Merlin frowned and looked at Kyle in surprise.

"We went to check a few places and found that this is not an empty village, but they all hide in their houses and dare not come out casually, and are very afraid of strangers." Kyle explained concisely.

"Yeah, when we went in, we were almost treated as robbers." Cecilia said angrily.

"What's going on?" Alice looked at the gray-haired tavern owner suspiciously.

The tavern owner looked at the four of Merlin and felt that they were a very strange combination.

Especially Cecilia's priest's robe, which looks very ordinary, can be seen to be made of silk if you look closely.

Silk is a very expensive fabric in Great Britain. It is a luxury item that ordinary people cannot afford. Only a few of them are owned by the nobles.

The tavern owner feels that Cecilia has a lot of background, and in the case that the mithril adventurer has not arrived, she may be able to get rid of them and solve the immediate crisis.

"To be honest, our entire fishing village is controlled by these villains. They raped and plundered, and made the villagers feel fear. The only way to be safe is to hide at home."

"How did this fishing village become like this?" Merlin asked in surprise.

"It's a long story..." The tavern owner sighed deeply, and said quietly, "Ever since the alchemist named Democritus conducted mysterious experiments on the island, the people here are struggling, and we have to spontaneously organize Crusade team, Mark, as the only warrior in the village, led the villagers to the island late at night, but most of them were buried in the sea..."

Alice frowned slightly, not incomprehensible to this group of villagers. After all, hiring powerful adventurers is very expensive. Considering the cost, it is indeed better to do it yourself.

"Only this Mark came back alive, became neither human nor ghost, and brought a large number of monsters into the village..." The tavern owner looked down at Mark's body, his eyes still could not help showing hatred, "After he came back , Our nightmare began, suppressing the villagers, doing evil everywhere, kidnapping us, and sending us to the islands in the Dover Strait to serve as guinea pigs for Democritus."

"This guy is really disgusting. They are all from the same village. Why are you so cruel?" Alice didn't know that Mark was poisoned and had to help Democritus.

"I don't quite understand either. If you hadn't come here today, we might have continued to live in dire straits." The tavern owner sighed, showing great gratitude to Alice.

After a brief exchange, let Merlin and his party basically understand the current situation

"It seems that our competitor hasn't arrived yet?" Cecilia said seriously, quite happy in her heart, proving that she still has a chance.

"It shouldn't be there, but we have been delayed for so long, and that guy is actually slower than us?" Alice said suspiciously.

"Maybe it's a temporary delay?" Kyle said with a tacit understanding of his chin, "This is also a good thing, we can take the initiative to solve the matter."

"Yes! We can take the first step, and then I will be able to straighten my back in front of my lord father, and I will be admired and recognized." Cecilia's eyes are full of little stars, and she asked expectantly, "Master Merlin, What do you think?"

The eyes of several people immediately focused on Merlin, wanting to hear his advice, after all, he is the strongest combat power.

"This..." Merlin narrowed his eyes and thought about it, then said lightly, "It's not impossible, but is the boat ready?"

"Visual estimation will arrive early tomorrow morning." Kyle replied seriously.

"Then let's set off early tomorrow morning and strive for a quick solution." Merlin said flatly, and directly finalized the matter.

The tavern owner was confused and didn't understand what the group of foreigners were doing here.

"That...you seem to be Welsh from your accent, what are you going to do here?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Merlin turned to look at the tavern owner, "Of course it's going to the island, to kill that alchemist..."

"Uh!" The tavern owner was stunned, and said in horror, "No way, don't be so impulsive."

"Huh? What's your reaction? It's a good thing for your village if we kill the alchemist." Merlin thought the old man's reaction was very strange.

"A good thing is a good thing, but you have to do what you can..." The tavern owner looked awkward, thinking that with the strength of Merlin and his party, it would be impossible to defeat Democritus.

"What do you mean?" Merlin felt that he was underestimated by the old man.

"The four of you can't defeat that alchemist, so don't go and die." The tavern owner said with a solemn expression, "I know you are also kind, but that alchemist is very strong, isn't he?" Your level can handle it."

"That's right, our village chief hired Mithril adventurers long ago. As long as you wait patiently, our crisis will be resolved, and you don't need to risk your life to fight against powerful enemies." Connie couldn't help but agree, thinking This group of people is still close to defeating Democritus. "The village prevented a hundred militiamen from going to crusade, and all of them were buried in the sea. Obviously, this alchemist is not easy to mess with.

Moreover, Mark is still of high-level strength, and he was tamed by Democritus to death. If you think about it for a while, you can know that the strength of this alchemist must be able to crush high-level.

Looking at the strength of Merlin's team, the strongest seems to be Alice, a high-level gold adventurer, isn't it courting death to attack Democritus?

Merlin and his party didn't react too much to the doubts of the tavern owner and his granddaughter, but Cecilia showed a slightly superior smile instead.

Even if Democritus is very strong, he still has to go on a crusade, let alone Merlin, is the enemy strong?Doesn't seem like a very important issue.

"You are really frogs at the bottom of the well, the real strong is right in front of you..." Cecilia pointed at Merlin, blowing earnestly.

"Master Merlin..."

"Cosmic swordsman, a holy rank powerhouse with hidden strength."

"Every time I turn on the pretentious mode, others can only tremble beside me in shock!"

(.???)ノ

Chapter 7: Monthly Ticket Addition

"Shut up, I'll blow it myself..." Merlin brushed back his blond hair, and said with a sad expression, "Pretending to be like the wind, always with me."

Alice's expression became complicated, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart, stop this stupid behavior!The whole person exudes the breath of Toerso, LOW!

The tavern owner and Connie were expressionless. Although Cecilia praised Merlin very much, the black iron adventurer on his neck proved that it was not convincing at all.

A low-level black iron adventurer turned out to be a holy rank powerhouse who hides his strength?

What are you kidding?Only a sick mind is willing to be a black iron adventurer who is looked down upon everywhere!

If an off-line guy like Merlin is a holy rank powerhouse, then the holy rank powerhouse is too worthless, right?

Both the tavern owner and Connie didn't quite believe what Cecilia said. They thought it was a joke for them to circle around a black iron adventurer.

"Besides, the mithril adventurer you hired hasn't come yet?" Cecilia's mouth turned up, showing a shallow smile, "Instead of waiting here endlessly, why don't we solve it first?" What about your crisis?"

"What we care about is not this kind of thing? We are worried about your safety. After all, you are also my savior. My conscience will be disturbed to see you go to die." The tavern owner said seriously, feeling that Merlin and his party People are going to crusade against Democritus, it is very dangerous!

"Yeah, you don't have to rush to the island in the center of the sea. When the mithril adventurer arrives, wouldn't it be better to go there together? It's safer." Connie couldn't help but echoed her grandfather, feeling that this group of people seemed to be Crazy, completely unable to see his own strength.

Even if the alchemist himself has no combat ability, he can create many monsters.

Connie felt that this group of ferocious monsters alone could not be defeated by the four of them.

"Please don't worry about us. As long as Lord Merlin is willing to go with us, there won't be any problems." Kyle said confidently. As a little fan, he naturally trusted his idol completely.

The old tavern owner couldn't help having a headache, wondering if what he said was not clear enough?Why are these foreigners so persistent?

Seeing this group of people obsessed with obsession, Connie couldn't help muttering in her heart, is this black iron adventurer really strong?As they said, is he a holy rank powerhouse who hides his strength?

"Roar--"

A beast-like howl suddenly sounded, as if in the street outside, and immediately interrupted the conversation in the tavern.

Kyle and Cecilia tensed up, smelling a faint smell of blood in the air.

"What sound?" Alice frowned.

"Old man, do you still raise monsters in your village?" Merlin frowned and asked, seemingly aware of it.

Both the tavern owner and Connie became terrified, and their faces were extremely pale, as if something that frightened them had appeared.

"No! We don't raise monsters in our village, this... this is an alchemy beast! The alchemy beast brought back by Mark!" Connie said in a panic.Frightened, he hid behind his grandfather.

"These monsters usually only listen to Mark. Now that Mark is dead, could they just go berserk and start killing on the street!?" The boss of the tavern owner stared at him, never expecting that Mark's death would cause such a commotion.

"What is an alchemy beast?" Alice asked suspiciously.

"I seem to have heard of this thing..." Kyle rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice, "Many alchemists are keen on creating intelligent life and studying the resurrection of the dead. After a long period of research, although they have not created high intelligence Life, but created monsters between the dead and the living, known as alchemy beasts."

"Is it difficult to deal with?" Cecilia asked anxiously.

"They are a group of bloodthirsty monsters. Their fangs and claws are invincible, and ordinary magicians and warriors cannot deal with them..." Connie explained with a pale face and a trembling tone.

"Then we can't just sit idly by!" Alice pulled out the rapier from her waist and said energetically, "Let's go and kill these beasts!"

"Miss Alice is right, since this happened right in front of our eyes, we can't ignore it." Kyle's middle school soul was brought up by Alice, and the little flames in his eyes were burning.

"Also... that's right..." Cecilia had a drop of cold sweat streaming down her forehead, unable to ride a tiger, so she could only agree.

Merlin frowned. Seeing Alice's brave appearance, he felt uncomfortable. This little washboard guard of justice has made a mistake again.

The old tavern owner widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Those guys are very dangerous, and there is more than one!"

"So what?" Alice looked back at the tavern owner, and said seriously, "If you leave it alone, your village will really disappear on the map of Great Britain."

"Uh!" The tavern owner was speechless, looking at Alice in surprise, thinking, what kind of person is this? !It is simply the embodiment of justice and beauty!The spokesperson of the Goddess of Light on earth!

"Leave the miscellaneous fish to you. I'm not interested. I want coffee here." Merlin waved his hand, not very interested in the outside affairs.

"You come here too, we are a team!" Alice abruptly pulled Merlin away, not letting him be lazy.

A strange-looking alchemy beast that slaughtered villagers on the street.

They don't have any intelligence, just beasts that only know how to kill and eat.

Alchemy beasts have no fixed appearance, most of them are deformed monsters, even if they have three heads, it is not surprising.

The only thing they have in common is that they have strong defense and outstanding offensive ability, they are born for slaughter.

The reason Democritus provided Mark with alchemy beasts was to help him suppress the villagers and teach him how to control them.

But now that Mark died, the group of alchemy beasts were out of control, and turned into wild wild horses, attacking innocent villagers non-stop.

The screams immediately resounded all around, making the village that had been silent just now become "lively".

Some of the residents hid in their houses and did not dare to come out, and some escaped and were captured by alchemy beasts, who were eaten directly on the street.

The alchemy beasts are sniffing the scent of humans and preying on the street. It is estimated that even if they hide in the house, they will become prey, and it is only a matter of time.

On the hill next to the fishing village, a mysterious man in a brown trench coat looked down at the chaos below.

The mysterious man is not very strong, but he has a sense of agility. The burden is straddled on his shoulders. It seems that he is a traveler from afar.

He slowly pulled back his hood, revealing his slightly childish face.
