The Unemployed Demon Lord

Especially compared to a genius like Johnson, Alice seemed too small, and there was no possibility of comparison.

If Alice had Johnson's talent, Merlin wouldn't have to worry at all, as three months would be more than enough to rush from the high rank to the holy rank.

But the problem is that Alice is very ordinary. For her, three months is really like walking a tightrope, which is very dangerous.

It must be impossible to say that Merlin and Alice have no feelings for living together.

The person who can talk every day suddenly disappears, no one can adapt, and there is a feeling of loneliness.

Although Merlin is a demon, and has been assimilated very powerfully after more than 200 years, but after all, he came through time travel, and some human nature is indelible.

Merlin felt that his special training method was getting worse and worse, because Alice had gradually gotten used to it and would not have such a strong sense of crisis.

The potential stimulation effect is far less than the first time, Alice's progress is limited.

Therefore, Merlin believes that what Alice needs now is a breakthrough opportunity, rather than accompanying him to practice.

"Mmmmmmmmmm!"

The door of the cabin was pushed open. Johnson was pale and sweating. He rushed to the side of the boat and vomited into the sea.

"Ugh... ugh!!"

"Hey~" Merlin frowned, feeling a little sick looking at Johnson.

"Huh...huh..., it's so uncomfortable, I'm going to die..." Johnson's expression was tangled in pain, and seasickness was simply killing him.

"Yo! Good evening, kid~" Merlin smiled meaningfully, and his tone was full of teasing.

"Huh?" Johnson looked aside curiously, seeing that it was Merlin, he froze there immediately, "Uh!"

"What was your reaction? It was like seeing a ghost..." Merlin looked at Johnson with a complicated expression.

The last thing Johnson wants to see these days is Merlin. He hides every day, but when he comes out to vomit, he is still very embarrassed to meet him.

Johnson's first reaction was to run away, and he didn't want to talk to Merlin at all, mainly because he had a psychological hurdle.

I had boasted about how talented I was for so many days before, but in the end I was pressed down by the enemy and rubbed hard on the ground. In the end, Merlin had to take action to save myself.

Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to survive this mission, would be eaten by monsters, and would have no ability to resist at all.

It's not so much that Johnson's self-esteem was hurt, it's better to say that he couldn't hold back his face, and now he feels his face is burning and hurting.

In fact, Johnson was a little grateful to Merlin, but more of it was humiliation and the fact that he was not as good as a black iron adventurer.

Johnson's self-confidence was severely hit, his personality suddenly restrained a lot, and he lost a lot of arrogance when he spoke.

He turned around stiffly and wanted to leave, but Merlin grabbed his neck and picked him up out of thin air.

"Where are you going? Let's have a good chat after you come out..."

"Let go! You uncle! Don't touch me!" Johnson kept struggling, but his legs and feet were a bit short.

"Hmph." Merlin sneered, and said with a crooked smile, "Why? Anyway, I saved your life. Is this how you treat your savior?"

"I..." Johnson was at a loss for words, his expression was struggling, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, the head office, right?! I am very grateful that you are always satisfied!"

"It's really perfunctory, without any sincerity." Merlin showed a playful smile.

"You...what do you want?" Johnson glared at Merlin, wondering if the other party was humiliating him.

"Come chat with me, I happen to have something to ask you..."

Merlin thought about Alice's rush to the holy steps, maybe he could ask Johnson about it.

After all, this kid is considered a genius. He has never had a level or experience, so he can't use it as a reference.

◇

The two of them, one tall and one short, were lying on the side of the boat, looking at the silvery moonlight, without speaking.

Seeing that Merlin's request was so simple, Johnson didn't refuse. It happened that he also had questions to ask Merlin.

"vomit……"

Johnson vomited into the sea from time to time, his entire stomach was empty, and he just rolled around and felt uncomfortable.

He calmed down a little, and looked at Merlin beside him under the moonlight.

Merlin leaned on his cheek, staring into the distance with ruby-like eyes, as if he had something on his mind.

The sea breeze gently swayed his golden hair, and the bright moonlight seemed to fall on his shoulders like feathers.

In addition to that face that is comparable to a woman, it immediately exudes a soft feeling...

Two blushes suddenly appeared on Johnson's face, his whole body became restless, and he hurriedly turned his head away

What the hell!

what's going on! ?

Uncle should be a man, right?

Why do I feel prettier than the big sisters in the guild! ?

I... Am I sick and need electric shock treatment...

(????ω????)?

Chapter 62: The End

Johnson's slightly childish face flushed for a while, and he hurriedly averted his eyes, not daring to look at Merlin.

He felt that he didn't have any gay plot, why did he think this uncle was so beautiful for a moment? !

God!I am so abnormal!My favorite is always the big sister in the guild!It can't be an uncle!

Johnson's whole body became weird, he turned his head away and didn't speak, and the symptoms of seasickness were relieved a lot for a while.

In fact, Johnson just suddenly imagined Merlin as his ideal self, and it was not a basic feeling.

This feeling can actually be summed up in two words, that is worship.

Merlin glanced at Johnson next to him, wondering what happened to this brat?

"Hey kid, what's wrong with you?"

"No... no no no... nothing!" Johnson replied in a panic.

"Strange guy..." Merlin withdrew his gaze and continued to look into the distance.

Johnson regained his composure a little, glanced at Merlin secretly, then lowered his head.

"Uncle, I can... Ouch!"

Before Johnson finished speaking, Merlin knocked on the head, causing a cry of pain.

"Call me little brother, I don't like the title uncle, it seems like I'm getting old all of a sudden."

"Damn..." Johnson covered his forehead and glared at Merlin, "Little... little... Cough! Brother Merlin!"

"Huh?" Merlin raised his eyelids. Although he is not the little brother, the big brother can barely accept it.

"I..." Johnson lowered his head and said hesitantly, "Can I...can I ask you a question?"

"Ask." Merlin replied faintly, wondering how to inquire about raising the holy rank?It's good now, this little devil has come to the door by himself.

"You...why are you so powerful?" Johnson raised his head with an extremely serious expression.

"Heh..." Merlin laughed, thinking that everyone would ask themselves this question, "Naturally."

"Lie! How is this possible?!" Johnson was very dissatisfied with this answer, and said a little emotionally, "Who is born with your strength!? Don't lie to me just because I am young!"

"You just refuse to accept the reality. Why should I lie? It doesn't make any sense." Merlin spread his hands with a helpless expression.

"Uh..." Johnson's eyes widened, thinking that what Merlin said was true, so he lowered his head and began to feel lost again, "Sure enough, Brother Merlin is the real genius, if I hadn't seen your incredible power with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought about it at all. I will believe it, a guy like me who likes to be self-satisfied with some achievements, is not worthy of being sought after by so many people as a magic genius, I am still too tender compared to you..."

"Yeah, you're right, I'm a genius." Merlin admitted bluntly, with no intention of evading it.

"Uh..." Johnson didn't expect Merlin to admit it so easily. With such a thick skin, his heart was hurt even more. "Why would someone like you be willing to stay at the level of Black Iron?! Isn't it weird?!"

"because……"

"I see, it must be an interest, right? That's right, a monster-level genius like you, Brother Merlin, must have a different idea." Johnson lowered his head, his brows were furrowed, and his emotions fell into a trough.

Merlin's expression became complicated, wondering if this brat could listen to me and finish my sentence properly?Is it because I don't want to advance to a higher level of adventure?It's not that the Adventurer's Guild has a death rule!Otherwise, wouldn't it be more than enough for me to be a Zijin adventurer? !

"Starting today, I will never admit that I am a genius anymore. My father is right. There are people out there who are beyond the sky. Never think too highly of yourself." Johnson lowered his head, his expression was so tangled that he was about to cry. Finally, I couldn't help showing some childishness.

Merlin sighed, and said in a slightly teasing tone, "You are already very powerful, you can reach the holy rank at this age, you can control so much magic, and you are still all-element friendly. I was still at your age. Playing with mud~"

"Eh!? Is it true?"

Johnson raised his head, feeling a little unbelievable. He had received special training from his father since he was a child, so that he could achieve what he is today.

But Merlin was playing for fun when he was a child, and he still has achieved what he is today. What is the purpose of his desperate practice?

Merlin didn't even know that he had pretended to be a coward invisibly, and continued to say

"Really, I have almost never deliberately improved my own strength, everything just goes with the flow."

"Just like this... can it become the current strength?" Johnson showed a dazed report, feeling incredible.

"Well, that's it, because a genius is a giant in the eyes of mediocrity, everyone is relative, I am a genius in your eyes, but maybe there is absolute power to dominate, in its eyes, I am a scum." Merlin paused After a pause, he looked at the starry sky and continued, "So you don't have to worry about such things at such a young age, it's too boring..."

"Hmm..." Johnson fell silent, a little confused about Merlin's negative attitude, as if he didn't care about anything, "I'm different from you, I shoulder the revival of my family, and my father and mother have devoted all their efforts to me Too many, I must not let them down, I must let the Johnson family return to the most outstanding magic family!"

"Are you sure these are not lies, maybe your parents just wanted you to be outstanding, and didn't expect you to bear so many things." Merlin said casually.

"That's not the case! An indifferent guy like you, uncle, doesn't understand our family's long-cherished wish at all!" Johnson started calling uncle again, obviously very angry.

"Then keep working hard, anyway, I'm no better than you in the end." Merlin showed a foolish expression.

"Don't be too happy! A guy like you can be better than me, I will never admit it!" Johnson glared at Merlin, clenched his fists, and said obsessively, "Sooner or later, I will put you Step on my feet, you remember it for me!"

After Johnson finished speaking, he left without looking back. Merlin remembered what happened to Alice, so he stopped Johnson, "Little brat, wait a minute."

"Is there anything else you want? Uncle..." Johnson's tone was not very good, and it was obvious that his heart was full of anger.

"I have something to ask you." Merlin was not angry, too lazy to argue with this little brat.

"If you still let me stay in a daze with you, forgive me for refusing. I don't want to have any contact with you, uncle. Lazy cancer will be contagious in the late stage." Johnson's words were sharp and his expression was disgusted.

"Tsk!" Merlin felt a little upset, feeling that the kid in front of him was still the same as before, "Do you know how a high-level can quickly rise to a holy level within three months?"
