The Unemployed Demon Lord

"That's natural. Compared with the timid guy like Masefield, our ability to act far exceeds him, and I am afraid that no one is more suitable than us to share the worries of His Majesty." Dexter said respectfully, feeling that Masefield He is an idealist, far from a practical school like himself.

"Yes, as His Majesty's sharp sword, we don't need to have our own thoughts, we just need to turn the direction of His Majesty's sword into dust. This is the value of our existence." Hamil said darkly , the voice is hoarse, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Elizabeth was very satisfied with their answers, which perfectly met her expectations, "Having you all reassures me a lot, although Elgin Great Swordsman is still the cause of the empire, but this guy is put on hold for now, because there are more dangerous enemies Staring at us."

"Your Majesty is talking about the Offrey family who have been very restless recently?" Dexter asked seriously.

"That's right, the Offrey family is expanding their army crazily recently. I'm afraid they want to overthrow the entire empire, so the most urgent thing to delay is to get rid of this old thing." Queen Elizabeth said with a nod.

"Then leave this matter to us to take care of." Emmanuel paused, raised his head, his eyes flashed with fanaticism

"The three of us can completely wipe out the entire Ofrey family in just a few days."

"Go back and get rid of that arrogant Elgin swordsman..."

"To be honest, when I came back, I heard many people chanting his name, and my ears were callused."

"If possible, I hope to cut off the head of Elgin Great Swordsman right now, and dedicate it to His Majesty."

Chapter 8: Monthly Ticket Addition

Queen Elizabeth did not say anything after listening to Emmanuel's words.

It is estimated that these three Thorn Knights have just returned, and they don't know much about Elgin the Great Swordsman.

Even the great swordsman Elgin beat Gregory into a coma due to serious injuries, it may not be clear yet.

That's why he underestimated Elgin the Great Swordsman, otherwise he would definitely be more cautious.

Elizabeth didn't care about such words. After all, she still had a hole card, and it would be nice if the Thorn Knight could help a little.

"Don't be so anxious for the time being. The Ofrey family is the arsenal of the empire. If possible, I don't want to cause too much damage. As for the matter of Elgin Great Swordsman, don't give priority to it." "Then what does His Majesty plan to do?" Dex A very probing question.

"I will write a letter to Grand Duke Offrey to test some bottom lines. You should stop walking around in the near future and stay in the royal capital to wait for orders." Elizabeth said seriously.

"As ordered."

Neither Dexter nor Hammill had any objections, and chose to follow the queen's wishes.

However, Emmanuel's expression was a little dissatisfied. He was impatient and didn't like to wait.

"Your Majesty, to deal with the Offrey family, it's okay to just kill them directly, right?"

"I heard that Grand Duke Offrey has recruited some powerful people of the holy order and a large number of mercenaries. There are many powerful people among them. We still need to be cautious." Queen Elizabeth raised her head and looked at the three people below. "You guys But it’s all my wealth, and I don’t want any problems for you.”

"Thank you for the relationship, Your Majesty, but I don't think the Offrey family will recruit any powerful guys. Guys like mercenaries who do things for money have no will to fight at all. Most of them are just rotten people who are trying to gain fame."

"I think so too, Jie Jie Jie..." Hammel let out bursts of gloomy laughter.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Although the Offrey family is huge, it is not so big that it threatens your rule. If you want, we are willing to be the vanguard to wipe out the rebellious party." Dexter said with a serious expression.

"I just don't want to fight a war without any preparations. When Seth comes back, we will be sure to wipe out the Ofrey family head-on." Elizabeth said seriously.

"Is Seth coming back too?!" Dexter widened his eyes, looking a little surprised.

Sisi is the second Thorn Knight. He has not joined the Thorn Knight for a long time, but with his strong strength, many knights are convinced.

"That's right, that man's strength is not inferior to Masefield's, and he even has the upper hand." Queen Elizabeth paused and added with a smile

"I'm going to let Seth take Masefield's place."

◇

The next day.

The first ray of sunlight shone in in the morning, making the whole rental house bright and majestic.

Merlin woke up with disheveled hair and looked very sloppy, holding breakfast with sleepy eyes.

I don't know what Merlin did last night, he looked very listless, with dark circles under his eyes, listless.

And Alice went to pick up the newspaper in the morning and was not in the house for the time being.

Both of them would subscribe to newspapers when they had nothing to do, to read the latest news, so as not to be eliminated by the times.

Merlin cut the fried egg with a knife and fork, completely looking like an old man, and tremblingly sent the egg to his mouth.

As a result, at this moment, there was a "bang"

Alice suddenly opened the door and came back from the outside, with a newspaper in her hand, her face flushed with excitement.

"Good news! Merlin has good news!!"

Merlin was startled by the excited Alice, and the fried egg on the fork fell to the ground.

"Uh……"

Merlin's complexion suddenly turned ugly. Looking at the fried eggs on the ground, his whole body was not well, and he felt very sorry and heartbroken.

I didn't expect to encounter such a disaster early in the morning. I always feel that it is not a good omen?

Merlin raised his head, waited for Alice with resentment on his face, and said in an annoyed tone.

"What are you doing?! Can't you be quieter early in the morning?"

"Hmm..." Alice saw Merlin's bad attitude, and said angrily, "Why are you so fierce? Didn't I come to tell you the good news?"

"What good news? Could it be that my [-] gold coin betting ticket won the lottery?" Merlin asked impatiently, still unwilling to give up on his fate as a non-chieftain.

"..." Alice didn't say a word, she was speechless to Merlin's question, thinking that it's just his LOW luck to the center of the earth?Don't even think about it, you know you can't score a single point?Still thinking about getting rich?Dream it, there is everything in the dream.

Seeing that Alice didn't speak, Merlin thought she had acquiesced, and then his eyes widened, his heart trembling uncontrollably.

God!Sure enough, Lady Luck hasn't completely given up on me!What should come will always come!

It won't take long for me to get promoted and raise my salary, become the general manager, become the CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of my life.Thinking about it, I'm still a little excited, hehe~~?

Merlin felt that his big black face could be salvaged, but it wasn't so black that it couldn't be cured.

"Could it be...could it be...maybe...Masaka!?"

"Wake up! Stop dreaming and think about something practical."

Alice raised her hand, wanting to knock on Merlin's forehead.

But he didn't dare to hit Merlin casually, so he had to let go resentfully.

"How could you win the lottery?! My savings must have been squandered by you, and I can't even hear a ring!"

"Tch!" Merlin felt very disappointed at the moment, lost all interest at the moment, and asked casually, "What good news is that? Could it be that the childish bear underwear in the tailor's shop cut the price so handsomely?"

"You..." Alice blushed, and pointed at Merlin angrily, "Don't make fun of my underwear, I don't need a guy like you to complain about my habits!"

"Hmph..." Merlin snorted coldly, and poked the fried egg on the ground, "What good news is that? I'll just listen to it."

"This is it..." Alice unfolded the newspaper in her hand, showed it to Merlin, and said seriously, "The Luke before was the fake Elgin Great Swordsman, and the real Elgin Great Swordsman is someone else!"

"Huh?" Merlin put down the knife and fork, squinted his eyes and looked at the bold black letters on the newspaper

"The lie planned by the royal family, Luke turned out to be the fake Elgin Great Swordsman!? The real hero is still in the crowd!"

Merlin showed a helpless smile, thinking that this matter is still known to passers-by, and I don't know what the human queen is going to do?

But all of this was within Merlin's expectation, and it didn't surprise him too much, after all, he was there at the time.

"Oh, Luke is the fake Elgin Great Swordsman, then what?"

"Then isn't this an exciting thing?!" Alice clasped her hands together, eyes full of little stars, and murmured to herself.

"Let me just say, how could the man I admire be like that?"

"Now it seems that Elgin Great Swordsman is indeed someone else!"

"How to do it?"

"The more I think about it, the more I feel that the real Elgin Great Swordsman is a strange man, so charming..."

Merlin rolled his eyes immediately after hearing this, and couldn't help but hold his forehead, thinking helplessly

Damn!

It's so simple to come back from the ashes?

Don't flirt with me in front of my face, okay?

Don't I want to lose face as a big devil...

(??ω????)

PS

Refresh the sixth episode by yourself, it has been replaced early in the morning.

Chapter 9: Letters

After Alice finished speaking, she still didn't forget to look at Merlin out of the corner of her eye, as if to see if there was any reaction?

In fact, this is also a tentative one. If Merlin would be jealous, it should be thunderous.

However, apart from a slight change in Merlin's face, he didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear it.

"The Great Swordsman Elgin is really handsome, much stronger than you..."

Alice didn't give up, and added that she wanted to see if she could stimulate the beauty.

But Merlin is still a virtuous person, and he nodded this time, "Well, it's awesome, it's fucked up."

Alice's complexion suddenly became ugly, turning blue and red, and trembling with anger.

So Alice came to Merlin and slapped the table hard, causing it to make a loud "bang".

"I said you, can you give me some feedback?"

Merlin let it go, he didn't like to be disturbed while having breakfast, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm praising Elgin the Great Swordsman, why aren't you angry?" Alice asked confidently.

"???" Merlin was full of question marks, and spread his hands, "Why should I be angry?"
