The Unemployed Demon Lord

She looked at Merlin on the throne, completely confused about the current situation.

Elizabeth felt that Merlin was very mysterious, not just an adventurer, this man was full of mysteries.

The burst veins on Seth's face had receded, replaced by a pale face.

He never thought that the pitch-black battle armor would betray him, or even completely go against his will and disobey orders.

For a long time, I have treated this armor like a companion, and I betrayed as soon as I said it, without leaving any sympathy!

Seth was extremely weak, gritted his teeth and stared at Elgin the Great Swordsman, questioning.

"What did you do?! Why can you control this armor?!"

Merlin didn't answer, but changed the subject and asked calmly, "Where did you get this armor?"

"Uh..." Seth was taken aback suddenly. He didn't know much about the secrets of the armor, but the great swordsman seemed to know something, so he hesitated and said, "In... an island in the Black Sea..."

"Ha, so it turns out..."

Merlin suddenly showed a relieved expression, thinking that the Black Sea is located between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the United Kingdom, and it is the sphere of influence of the Third Demon King Hall.

Seth is really a lucky guy, doesn't he know that he has entered the dangerous sea area of ​​the Third Demon King's Palace?It also took away the treasures collected by Mamen, which is interesting~ It seems that this armor is not valued by Mamen at all, otherwise it will be placed in the treasure house of the main hall of the Demon King's Palace, instead of being reduced to a bait to lure people to come A greedy person who seeks wealth.

This is Mammon's evil taste, the principle is very simple, it is a mousetrap, or a trick of treasure box monsters.

The location of the Third Devil King's Hall is not bad, and some rare gems can be dug up, but it lacks the most basic thing for survival, that is, food.

Mamen, the greedy monarch of the Demon Race, is very rich, and his wealth can rival the entire Demon Race, and he is famous far and wide.

So there are many people who don't know how to live or die, and like to risk their lives to go to the place where Mammon is located to hunt for treasure.

Many rare treasures are placed on the wandering islands, tempting greedy people to snatch them.

But the island is either full of traps, or there are powerful demons stationed there. Most of them have failed. Those lucky ones like Seth can only win by relying on their own holy strength.

Those who fail will be imprisoned by mammon and raised as livestock, and finally reduced to food for the demons, which solves the food crisis in the Third Demon King's Palace.

It seems that this game is very fair, if there is no greed, you will not die, even if you are lucky enough to get the treasure of Mammon, you deserve it by taking huge risks.

However, this is not the case. For a seemingly fair adventure game, it depends on who the owner of the game is.

Mammon, the guy with the most serious collecting habit among the seven monarchs, even if things are of no use to him, he still collects them to increase his wealth.

He is so greedy that he wants to own all the treasures in the world and put them in his collection, and he will feel happy just looking at them every day.

Although Mammon is rich, he is extremely stingy and stingy. He never tolerates anyone taking advantage of him, and even his closest children are not allowed to touch his wealth.

If you don't heed the warning?Then Mammon will personally kill anyone who dares to touch his treasure.

How greedy and selfish is mammon?Merlin once heard a vivid thing...

It was the beginning stage of the age of great voyages. Ships from countless human empires began to explore new continents and develop trade to farther places, and the profession of pirates came into being.

In addition to looting property, these desperadoes prefer to hunt for treasure.

They found the treasure of Mammon in the Black Sea, stole it, and spent a long time in debauchery.

But the good times didn't last long, retribution came, all the pirates died tragically one by one, even the descendants of the pirates, almost all died young, as if they were cursed.

In the end, all the gold coins of Mammon had to be taken back, obediently sent back to the original place in the Black Sea, and the bad luck stopped.

As a result, no one dared to touch Mammon's wealth easily. After hundreds of years, Mammon has not dropped a single gold coin in the Black Sea!

In fact, everything was planned by Mamen. Whoever took the gold coins, he knew very well in his heart, and sent demons to kill them one by one.

Mammon just needed a small excuse, if he took his things, he would have to pay with his life.

Presumably, Mammon's stinginess is already easy to understand.

So Merlin looked at Seth as if he was looking at a dead person, and even dared to take the treasure of Mammon, he was not far from death.

Mammon will not let go of any human being who dares to steal from him.

The reason why Seth is still alive is probably because Mammon has not found out that his armor has been stolen.

The fact is exactly the same, it has only been two years since Seth obtained the armor of Thorn Knight.

For a demon with a long lifespan, two years is just a snap of the fingers.

So Mammon hasn't noticed that her treasure has been stolen, but it's only a matter of time before she finds out, Seth will definitely die!

The armor kneeling on one knee below raised his head and stretched out his hands, using his fingers to compare weird words, trying to communicate with Merlin

"Great arrogant monarch, please allow me to serve you."

"I am willing to burn my soul to eliminate your troubles."

"Please give me a chance to become your most loyal slave..."

"Tsk!" Merlin was speechless, his brows were furrowed, and he thought in embarrassment.

I rub!

Is this a betrayal of the revolution?

The subordinates next to Mammon...

Doesn't seem to be very loyal?

(??ω???)

Chapter 37: Rejection

The pitch-black demon armor, using fingers to compare various strange characters, tried to communicate with Merlin.

This is a text belonging to demons, and it is impossible for anyone else to understand it except for demons or people who are proficient in demon culture.

Except for Merlin, who was there didn't even know what the devil's armor meant?

"What's the situation? What does that armor express?" Morrison's mind was full of question marks, and he was at a loss.

Catherine knows a lot. Although she can't fully translate it, she can guess the general meaning, "It seems that she is submitting to the great swordsman and wants to serve him."

"Impossible? Doesn't this armor belong to Seth? It's such an easy betrayal?!" Masefield felt a little unbelievable.

"It should be that Seth didn't subdue this armor from the beginning to the end, but out of the relationship of mutual use, after seeing the great swordsman Elgin, he decided on his master for the first time." Catherine speculated, thinking that she wanted to seek a powerful armor. Biological protection is the instinct of all living things.

The demon armor has its own consciousness, and it is understandable to choose the more powerful Elgin Great Swordsman as its master.

Catherine didn't know that the former owner of the demon armor was the greedy monarch, the top existence of the demon clan.

Even if it is looking for a new owner, it is impossible to choose a lower-level existence than Mammon.

Therefore, Merlin, who is an arrogant monarch, has become the best choice for demon armor, and no one is more suitable to control himself than him.

The strength of the demon armor itself is not weak, but it also depends on the ability of the host. If it is strong, it will be strong, and if it is weak, it will be weak.

With Merlin's strength, it is estimated that he can easily display the strength of the demon armor, and maybe even make the armor evolve.

The demon armor kept comparing gestures, in addition to expressing his willingness to surrender, he also talked about the cause and effect, as well as some of his own secrets

After Mammon lost interest in the treasure of the demon armor, she put it on a small island in the Black Sea to lure the human beings who came to hunt for the treasure.

But the demon armor has its own consciousness, it is no longer a cold metal, it has its own thinking, and it needs to eat blood to survive.

The life on the isolated island is boring and boring. The demon armor is in a state of being imprisoned. It faintly feels that it has been abandoned by Mammon and is no longer cared about.

Over time, due to the lack of fresh blood, the consciousness of the demon armor is on the verge of collapse, and there is a danger of losing it at any time.

But when the demon armor was desperate, a young man named Seth opened the cage and found it.

The young man was covered in wounds, obviously after a fierce battle, his eyes revealed the joy of finding the treasure.

From that moment on, the demon armor decided to betray the original owner, Mammon, and parasitized on this young man named Seth.

This is a fair trade, the demon armor gives Seth strength, and Seth gives the demon armor the hope of survival.

Whenever Seth fights with the enemy, the demon armor will absorb the blood of the enemy to survive, trying to evolve, and escape from Mammon's control.

Now the opportunity came, as long as Merlin was willing to take him in, he would be free easily.

Merlin looked at the sign language narration of the demon armor, and he had a general understanding of the cause and effect. He couldn't help touching his chin and thinking for a while

Do you want to keep this armor?

I don't seem to need it at all, Alice may need it, and it would be good for her to use it.

But the essence of this armor is a demon, right?It is the nature of demons to be very self-respecting and disdainful of human beings, and it is presumably not allowed for Alice to control it.

After all, not all demons are like him, he is a time traveler with unique three views.

Moreover, this guy has betrayed one after another, and he is obviously a bit of a second-guesser, so he is not trustworthy.

The ghost knows whether this armor will betray at a very important node and cause a catastrophe...

After thinking about it, Merlin decided to refuse to take in the demon armor. The reason is very simple. Who would dare to take it after repeated betrayals?

Although the current intelligence of this armor is not high, as it grows and evolves, it may have restless ambitions, which is very unsafe for Alice.

Elizabeth watched the scene where the armor communicated with Merlin, and felt more and more weird in her heart. The weird sign language obviously came from another race. Is Elgin the Great Swordsman a demon?

The same question also came to Seth's mind, why his armor can communicate with the great swordsman Elgin, do they all come from the same place! ?

The weak Seth stood up slowly, glaring at the great swordsman Elgin, gnashing his teeth to break the calm.

"Hey! Great Swordsman, what are you talking about secretly with my things!?"

Merlin turned his head to look at Seth, and said lightly, "It's nothing."

"Can you understand that weird sign language?!" Seth frowned.

"Yes, yes, what's the problem?" Merlin smiled with the corner of his mouth tilted.

"Why can you understand the text from the devil? Are you a devil too!?" Seth asked angrily, a little surprised in his heart. He was sure that the armor came from the devil. Since he can communicate with Elgin the Great Swordsman, it means They come from the same place!

As soon as the words came out, all the other people present all looked over at once, their eyes were like huge searchlights, focused on Merlin.

This is not just Seth's own doubt, but everyone's common doubt at this moment.

If Elgin the Great Swordsman is actually a demon, then that would be a big problem.

Great Britain belongs to the scope of the Holy See, and normal people will have hostility and rejection of demons.

If Merlin revealed his identity as a demon at this moment, it might become a dilemma where everyone shouted and beat him.
