The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Tch!" Alice curled her lips angrily, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Take a look back with me at the Demon Race, maybe we can solve your dragon transformation problem. After all, our Demon Race has a long history, so maybe we can find a solution." Merlin said seriously.

"Really...Really?" Alice was a little moved, and her eyes regained some luster.

"It's not guaranteed to be found, it's just a chance, but is it better than waiting here to die?" Merlin shrugged his shoulders, feeling that the path he chose for Alice was safe.

Alice fell into hesitation, thinking about the conditions proposed by Merlin, reality and dignity collided back and forth in her heart

Do you want to follow Merlin to join the Demon Race?

how is this possible!Who wants to go to the demon territory with Merlin?

Has my former brave man been reduced to asking the devil for help?

What a humiliation, no, I don't want to become Merlin's slave.

Besides, Merlin looks down on me too much, doesn't he?It has already been determined that I cannot become a holy rank powerhouse.

Damn it, don't look down on people!

Alice raised her head suddenly, pursed her mouth, and said with red eyes.

"No need, I don't want to go to the Demon Race with you, I believe I can do it."

Merlin immediately patted his forehead, thinking that this stubborn donkey Alice is hopeless, why is she so stubborn?This is a matter of life and death?Can't you let go of your prejudices and bend down honestly in order to survive? !

"Alice, are you serious?"

"Well, I will definitely not regret it." Alice said with an extremely serious expression, gripping the rapier in her hand again.

Merlin frowned, thinking that this stupid girl Alice has an extremely bad personality, how could she be kind?He didn't appreciate it! ?You won't die if you rely on others a little bit.

"If you have nothing to do, you can leave first. I will continue to practice. I don't need you to accompany me tomorrow. I haven't made any progress anyway." Alice said with a serious expression, and drove Merlin away.

Probably because of being looked down upon and brooding about it?

Sure enough, even Merlin has a hard time getting along with a girl who is too stubborn...

◇

Merlin, who was driven away by Alice, had no choice but to come to the guild to continue drinking with Hobbs.

With a gloomy expression on his face, Merlin snatched Hobbs' wine glass and started eating and drinking again.

Hobbs looked at his wine glass, Merlin was about to drink it to the bottom soon, is that okay? !

So Hobbs quickly snatched the wine glass back, and motioned Merlin to stop drinking with him.

"Merlin, wait, what's the matter with you? You look like you've been subjected to domestic violence, what? You were beaten by Alice?"

"Tch! How is it possible? I'll be beaten by Alice? Just kidding..." Merlin curled his lips, thinking that it would be more or less the same if he beat Alice himself.

"What's the matter? You look depressed~" Hobbs sized up Merlin, silently holding the wine bottle tightly in his arms, as if guarding against a thief.

"This..." Merlin thought for a while, and said roughly, "It's just that I have been a little unhappy with Alice recently..."

"Oh? Husband and wife have conflicts, is this a good thing? It's not normal if there are no conflicts." Hobbs looked like someone who had come.

"Also... it's not a contradiction..." Merlin scratched his head, thinking that saying he had a conflict with Alice was a bit serious.

"Huh?" Hobbs squinted his eyes, seemingly thinking about it, and whispered with a sexy expression, "Is it because your private life is not in harmony? Alice's excessive demands have made you a little overwhelmed, so you are bothered... "

"Uh..." Merlin frowned, thinking that this old guy Hobbs couldn't be more serious, his mind was full of messy things.

"It's really strong. I didn't expect Alice to be in such a young age. There is still a lot of demand for that aspect. It is said that thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, and fifty can absorb soil when sitting on the ground. Will Alice get it in the future? ! Hobbs patted Merlin's shoulder silently with a face full of horror, "My friend, you will suffer in the future."

"Go, go!" Merlin opened Hobbs' paw, and said helplessly, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Nothing."

"This..." Hobbs was puzzled, a little confused about what happened to Alice and Merlin.

"I'm just wondering why Alice doesn't trust me so much? Is it because I cheated on her before?" Merlin touched his chin with a puzzled expression. He always felt that Alice was very prejudiced against him and was always on guard. status.

"Oh~" Hobbs smiled, and immediately understood what was going on, and said confidently, "So it's a matter of trust between husband and wife? Tell me earlier, I'm very good at this, don't look at me every day Go to Helena's secret hut, but I haven't had a crisis of trust in more than ten years of marriage~"

"Tell me..." Merlin asked with great interest. Seeing that Hobbs was so confident, maybe he could spit out ivory from his mouth.

"Take more kidney-reinforcing medicine, and hand in homework on time. If there is a conflict under the bed, it should be resolved on the bed. Believe me, there will be absolutely no problem. As long as you work hard, there will be no crisis of trust." Hobbs said with a bad expression , if it were put in the real world, this uncle would have been arrested by 110 long ago.

"Alas..." Merlin sighed, and looked away, "I believe you can give me a good solution, I am really mentally retarded."

At the table closest to Merlin, there were three adventurers, who seemed to be discussing something in full swing.

"Hey, do you know? The Goblin Salute has entered the territory of the empire. I heard that the purpose is to subvert the kingdom."

"This is news from a few months ago. I heard that Hao Gui Zan is going to resurrect the president of 30 years ago, that Youyan Haogui who intimidated everyone!"

"real or fake?!"

"This is news from within the empire. Now many people know it, and people are panicking."

"It should be true. A remote town in Wales was destroyed yesterday. It seems that someone who praised the ghost appeared."

"This is going to be the end. If the tyrants' praise succeeds, the empire will probably be another catastrophe."

"That's right, more and more people have gone to the king to take refuge recently. I'm thinking about whether to leave the empire temporarily and go outside to avoid the limelight."

Merlin withdrew his gaze, his brows were furrowed, his heart was restless like

what happened?

I always feel that Britain is a bit chaotic recently...

(??ω????)

Chapter 30: Monthly Ticket Addition

Merlin felt that something was wrong. Ever since he went to the capital, it seemed that his surroundings had become very uneasy.

"Recently...the empire doesn't seem to be peaceful?"

Merlin muttered thoughtfully, looked at Hobbs opposite, and wondered what this well-informed guy might know.

"Isn't it? It's been very uneasy recently. The entire empire has entered a state of state, and more people have been sent to each checkpoint. The king's capital has not allowed outsiders to enter." Hobbs paused, and said meaningfully, "Finally The unlucky ones should be the local garrison corps, that guy Price seems to have not been home for more than half a month, really unlucky."

"Is it because of the recent incident of the big ghost's praise?" Merlin narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.

"That's right, how much trouble has happened in the praise of the big ghost recently? My wife recently asked me to go home on time, and I must not wander around outside. Now everyone is in danger, and they are afraid of bumping into the person who praises the big ghost. Hobbs looked at Merlin and raised his eyebrows, "Those guys kill people without blinking an eye. Wherever their figures appear, there must be rivers of blood, you know~"

"So dangerous?" Merlin touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"That's right! Last night I heard that a small town was massacred, and the empire came to a conclusion in the morning. It was indeed done by the people praised by the ghosts. There can be no falsehood." Hobbs frowned, looking very I don't like this kind of life under martial law, and I don't seem to be free. Now if I go out and behave suspiciously, I will be stopped by the guards for questioning.

Merlin didn't speak, but felt that this rich ghost praised being a dark guild, but he acted in a very high-profile way, not like a thief at all.

"During this period of time, the empire seems to have released a lot of warning messages, and even major newspapers said that the big ghost is extremely dangerous. Everyone is very afraid of being targeted by the big ghost, so now more and more people are starting to sing If it continues to decline, it may cause even greater chaos." Hobbs speculated, turning into a big prophet in seconds.

"Can't it? The empire is so big, and it will be ruined by a small dark guild?" Merlin felt that Hobbs was a bit alarmist.

"Why not? Think about it, Praise of the Goblin wants to revive Palmer. Didn't I tell you how powerful this monster is? It's reasonable to threaten the safety of the empire." Hobbs said seriously.

Merlin was silent, wondering why Palmer was so stubborn?I always feel that Hobbs is too weak, and anyone who looks at him may have the illusion of being very powerful.

It's not that Merlin doesn't trust Hobbs, but that everyone's perspective is different, and the difference in strength and weakness will naturally be huge.

People who are often regarded as extremely powerful by others, in Merlin's view, basically belong to the level of noobs, and are not worth mentioning.

"However, there has been quite a lot of calls for Elgin Great Swordsman recently..." Hobbs said abruptly.

"Huh?" Merlin's eyes widened, feeling a little unbelievable.

"What's surprising about this? When people are in panic, they naturally hope that a hero will stand up to dispel the panic. Look now, is there anyone who is louder than Elgin Great Swordsman?" Hobbs spread out With both hands, the expression seems to be saying something that should be taken for granted.

"Uh..." Merlin was at a loss for words, thinking that he didn't want to wear Elgin's mask as a great swordsman to go out and cause trouble, because sooner or later it would interfere with his life

Alas, what a hassle.

Why are these humans obsessed with me?

I'm just a fleeting beautiful legend.

The perfect hero in your imagination does not exist, he just wants to eat and drink to dawdle...

◇

night.

The two prepare to eat dinner and then go to bed.

Merlin put on his apron and prepared dinner like a warm man.

In fact, Merlin didn't want to go to the kitchen either, he felt that it was very boring, and he was completely wasting his precious life.

In Alice's current state, she can't be expected to cook or help out.

It's not that Merlin is ignorant. At this time, he would quarrel with Alice and argue over every penny because it doesn't make any sense.

Besides, Merlin still felt a bit of guilt in his heart. If he had known that Alice was so emotionally unstable and vulnerable to backlash, he might as well have fed the inheritance crystals to the dogs.

At this time, Alice was in a depressed mood, sitting on the chair dumbly, looking very honest, as if she had lost her soul.

There was no expression on her face, her eyes were empty, staring at the white empty plate in front of her, wondering what was going on in her mind?

Alice lost the vitality of the past, and even Merlin felt uncomfortable seeing her lifeless appearance, feeling inexplicably irritable.

Normally, Alice would be very noisy at times like this, and would die when she quieted down, and she would only be happy if she satirized Merlin.

Although Merlin felt very annoying on weekdays, he didn't really dislike Alice's bastard looking like she was waiting to be fed.

Now that Alice is so quiet, like a lady of every family, Merlin can't accept it anymore, he himself feels that this is a bit cheap

Isn't it great that Alice is lifeless?At least no one will bother me, and I can do what I like quietly.

Isn't this the life I dreamed of before?The sense of loss in my heart is really inexplicable!

Although Merlin kept comforting himself, he had to admit that he did prefer Alice to be more energetic.

Alice was in a very bad mood, and she was so sad that she didn't know what to do next?

Her mind was full of impending deadlines, and how long she could live?Or something that I regret not doing.

Merlin took off his apron, then came over with dinner and put it in front of Alice.

"Eat it, your favorite hamburger meat, no one will grab it from you this time."
