The Unemployed Demon Lord

Alice will definitely be overflowing with compassion, exuding the halo of the Virgin, and doing her best to help those helpless strangers.

Alice has donated all the food at home recently, but in the face of the huge number of refugees, the food is just a drop in the bucket.

Merlin seriously doubts that Alice will be so emotional one day that she will give away her family fortune to help refugees.

Although Merlin liked Alice's humane character and warm feeling, he didn't want to interfere with her too much.

But helping refugees with their own interests is another matter. Merlin doesn't feel that he runs an orphanage, and he doesn't have such lofty moral values.

Therefore, for those poor refugees, Merlin believed that it was moral for him to help them, and it was only natural for him not to do so, and he had no responsibility or obligation.

However, Merlin was worried about whether Alice's head would get hot for a while or something.

So Merlin is more concerned about the root cause of this problem, which is the war.

If the war is quelled, then the refugee problem will naturally be solved!

As long as the situation is peaceful, these refugees will return to their hometowns, so what should they do...

"The recent war seems to be coming to an end, Hobbs, what do you think?" Merlin asked curiously.

"It's worth watching? In less than half a month, the British Dynasty will be over." Hobbs gave a speculation.

"Half a month? So fast?" Merlin was a little surprised.

"Do you think how long it took the Offrey family to fight from the north to the imperial capital? Didn't it take much time? This exposes a big problem..." Hobbs stroked his mustache.

"What's the problem?" Merlin sat up straight.

"The ruler doesn't like to fight in his own territory, it will cause damage to property, so the Duke of Frey went to the imperial capital, and it took so little time to prove..." Hobbs paused, and said in a low voice, "The royal family of Britain They're just lingering, the power of the Offrey family is crushing, and the royal family has nothing to do with them."

"Oh~" Merlin nodded, feeling that what Hobbs said made sense.

"Maybe the royal family is at the end of its battle, and we assholes don't need to worry about it, just wait for the declaration of the establishment of the new kingdom..." Hobbs showed a little pessimism, and was a little uneasy about the future.

At this moment, Lucia suddenly came over from the counter and put a letter on the table in front of Merlin, "Mr. Merlin, here is your letter, it should have been delivered just this morning..."

"Oh?" Merlin picked up the unopened letter in front of him, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

letter?Who sent it to me?

Masaka! ?

Could it be that Lilith knew where I lived...

∑(°口°?)? ?

Chapter 25: Invitation

Merlin looked at the envelope with a puzzled expression. He seldom communicates with others, so there should be no one who is free to write letters to him.

The only guess is the younger sister Lilith who is far away in the swamp of death. Only she has a reason to write to herself.

Merlin felt depressed when he thought of his controlling sister.

Obviously, she has always sent letters anonymously, logically speaking, it is impossible for Lilith to know where she is, right?

"Who sent you the letter?"

Alice had the same question beside her, and reached for it, wanting to see what was written?

As a result, Merlin had quick hands and quick eyes, and hid the letter behind his back with a vigilant look on his face.

"What are you doing? Can you still grab it?"

"What's your reaction? I'm just looking at it." Alice said angrily.

"Tsk!" Merlin was speechless, and said solemnly, "This is a letter addressed to me, not to you. Don't be so careless and grab it to read it, okay?"

"Let me see what's wrong? You're stingy!" Alice was itching with curiosity, and the more Merlin refused to let her see, the more she felt the urge to see.

"Please, this is not a question of being stingy or not, but that you are trying to invade my privacy. The letter was sent to me. What right do you have to read it?" Merlin said with a complicated expression, feeling that Alice was a bit too much.

"Hey, don't watch it if you don't read it, it's like I'm rare, huh~!" Alice said goodbye with her small face, angry with Merlin.

Merlin didn't bother to talk to the angry Alice, but fell into thinking while looking at the unknown letter.

Normally, it shouldn't be the letter from Lilith, it should be someone else.

Merlin carefully looked at the information on the envelope, only his own address, but not the sender's address.

This is obviously the same as the letter I sent. They are all anonymous letters, and there is no way to find out who the other party is?

Even the seal of sealant on it was ordinary and did not reveal any useful information.

So Merlin, who was puzzled, didn't think too much, and directly tore open the top of the letter, and took out the letter inside.

Merlin thought that someone could send him a letter, maybe there was something secret, so before checking the content, he looked around vigilantly, like a thief.

Rukia went back after delivering the letter, Hobbs drank beer calmly, and Alice turned her face away in anger.

Merlin felt that the situation was fairly safe, so he opened the letter paper generously, looked at the content on it, and then widened his eyes.

Although there is not a lot of content inside, it is extremely shocking. You can tell how shocked he is by looking at Merlin's expression.

"Respected Your Excellency Merlin, although it hasn't been long since we met last time, I will never forget the bad things you did to me in the cabin."

"However, the purpose of writing this letter to you is not to accuse you of anything, but I hope you can come to the capital to talk about something."

"Of course I won't force you to do anything if I don't come to see what you want, but I have to say something up front..."

"According to my investigation, I learned some secrets of your Excellency. In fact, you are the great swordsman Elgin wandering in the empire, right?"

"No matter how you try to hide it, it is an indisputable fact that Elgin Great Swordsman is a wanted criminal of the empire. I now know your identity."

"But you have been hiding your identity, I think you have your own reasons?"

"So please consider whether you want to come or not, but I can't guarantee that your identity will be made public."

These are the contents of the letter, and there is no joint signature in the end. It can be said that the other party is doing a great job of hiding their identity.

But Merlin doesn't need to guess, it's easy to know who the other party is, after all, the embarrassing incident in the cabin didn't take long.

Merlin hesitated for a moment, held up the letter paper to his nose, and sniffed it carefully. Although the smell was very weak, he could still catch traces of the familiar scent

Judging by my expert experience, this stationery smells of the Queen! ?Still that familiar smell...

Merlin quickly lumped the letter into a ball, and it was difficult to calm down in his heart. He felt that after his identity was exposed, things became troublesome.

Alice next to her just wanted to take a peek, but was destroyed by Merlin. Alice was taken aback by this weird reaction.

"What... what's wrong? What's written in the letter?"

Hobbs on the opposite side also showed some doubts on his face. He felt that Merlin's behavior was a bit strange, as if someone had caught him.

"Ah?" Merlin looked at Alice as if waking up from a dream, and put the lumpy letter into his pocket, planning to secretly tear it into pieces and throw it away, "No... nothing?"

"Nothing? Then why are you acting like a thief?" Alice asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Merlin, is something wrong?" Hobbs asked curiously.

"No, no, it's just an ordinary letter..." Merlin smiled and explained lightly

There is no need to tell this matter, anyway, no one believes that he is Elgin the Great Swordsman.

Even if you say it, you will be laughed at by Alice and Hobbs, right?

◇

After things were over for the time being, on the way home.

Alice was obsessed with the contents of that letter, wondering what it said, or who sent it?

However, considering that Merlin's privacy would be involved, Alice was not ashamed to open her mouth to press the question.

After all, Alice feels that she and Merlin are not a real couple, and they still need to leave some space for each other.

If it's a real couple, it's normal to share secrets with each other.

But let's forget about the couple in name, Alice felt that it was too annoying for her to keep asking about Merlin's secrets.

So Alice had no choice but to suppress the doubts in her heart, expecting Merlin to take the initiative to tell herself.

Alice felt that if Merlin regarded herself as a trustworthy companion, he would definitely tell the secret.

However, Merlin didn't have that intention at all, and planned to deal with this trouble on his own.

Merlin felt that his operation was a bit wrong, and he shouldn't have meddled in saving Elizabeth in the first place.

As a result, my identity was exposed, and troublesome things came to my door one after another, which was annoying to me.

Merlin didn't want to admit Elgin's identity as a great swordsman at all. If he did, it would be almost impossible to live a peaceful life.

But now that Merlin's real identity is known by the queen of the empire, he feels that his handle has been caught by the other party, and it's not a good mood to be controlled by others.

As long as Elizabeth intends to kill Merlin and start to suppress Merlin with an iron fist, it will be an endless situation.

However, Merlin felt that Elizabeth was much more sensible than her elder sister. Instead of using force, she sent a letter mysteriously, wanting to have a face-to-face interview. Maybe there is still room for things.

Merlin sighed deeply, looking at the sunset on the horizon, the blood-red light was extremely dazzling

It seems that I have to go to the meeting alone.

Even if it's a Hongmen banquet, you have to go for a break.

I want to see, what kind of tricks is this human queen playing?

ε-(??ω???)

Chapter 26: Monthly Ticket Addition

night.

Merlin and Alice are holding dinner.

Looking at the time, it was already very close to going to bed, and Merlin still didn't plan to talk about his troubles.

Alice was calm on the surface, but she was still a little anxious in her heart, expecting Merlin to take the initiative to tell about the letter.

However, Merlin didn't want to involve Alice at all, and wanted to solve it in his own way.
