The Unemployed Demon Lord

"It has little to do with the queen. Queen Elizabeth just has some shares in the racecourse. The actual controller is the Rothschild family. They are the largest chamber of commerce in the world. Their wealth is slightly better than that of the Knights Templar. Because of the civil strife in the empire, I'm afraid It was temporarily closed because it was ransacked by rebels." Hobbs explained.

"Is that so..."

Merlin frowned, only to find out that the Royal Racecourse is owned by the Rothschild family. No wonder the racecourses are spread all over the world. It turns out that the business has grown to such an extent.

The Rothschild family is extremely powerful, and has penetrated into almost all empires except the foreign races. They even participate in the banks, not to mention the Royal Racecourse, which is crazy about attracting money.

It is rumored that this super powerful family controls more than 50% of the world's wealth, and is even the creditor of many imperial rulers. It looks like the emperor in the shadow of the world.

Speaking of which, Merlin is still a diamond-level VIP of the Rothschild family, and it seems that he will enjoy top-level treatment when he visits some expensive places.

If Hobbs hadn't mentioned it today, Merlin wouldn't have thought of it. Someone from the Rothschild family had already informed him. Congratulations on becoming the first diamond guest ever.

But at that time, Merlin had just lost everything and was in a low mood, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and he forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

As for the reason, Merlin spent tens of millions of gold coins on this family, so he is still human if he doesn't enjoy some special treatment! ?

"Speaking of which, I'm still a diamond guest of the Rothschild family."

"Pfft!" Hobbs spat out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, clutching his chest, his whole body was a little shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning

"You...you you you...what did you just say!?"

"Diamond VIP!!"

((???|))

Chapter 9: Worried

Merlin glanced at Hobbs and said calmly, "What was your reaction?"

Hobbs put down his wine glass, pointed at Merlin, and said with a straight face, "How can you be the diamond guest of the Rothschild family?"

"Really, it's meaningless to lie about this kind of thing~" Merlin shrugged.

"Okay, don't be kidding me. I found out that Merlin, you don't have any special hobbies, but you just like daydreaming too much." Hobbs paused, and said with a smile, "What is the Rothschild family? In all human empires, the existence that covers the sky with one hand, is not an exaggeration to be called an invisible emperor, controlling the economic lifeline of most empires, not bragging or blackmailing, Queen Elizabeth has borrowed money from their family."

"And then?" Merlin looked calm, he seemed not very interested in this family, because he became a diamond VIP with tens of millions of gold coins, and he wanted to get it back reasonably?That's basically impossible.

"Then I beg you to be more down-to-earth, the queen of our empire is not a diamond guest of the Rothschild family, how could you be?" Hobbs couldn't believe that Merlin was so powerful, and continued, "The level of diamond VIP is considered a The most sincere friends of the Rothschild family will receive special preferential treatment, and even the privileges within the family will be open to them. Thinking about the huge power of this family, if you are a diamond VIP, I don’t think you should appear in the backcountry at all Not in the adventurers guild, but living a comfortable life in the high society with feasting and feasting."

Merlin looked at Hobbs and didn't speak, but thought to himself that when he just put on Alice's inherited brave armor, he was called a rich man, and he was really happy in the upper class, but the good times didn't last long, and he soon became poor. .

Thinking about how Alice was able to survive under the Merlin knife thanks to the protection of that armor, besides standing far away at the beginning, it can be seen how terrifying its defense power is, and it is not surprising that it is so expensive.

That pair of inheritance armor is something worn by brave men of all ages. It is extremely difficult to make, and it needs a complete piece of top-level Mithril. It has also been blessed by the goddess, and it is infinitely close to a divine weapon.

"Besides, the conditions for becoming a diamond VIP are extremely harsh. The gold coins required are astronomical. Where did you get so much money?" Hobbs looked Merlin up and down, feeling that the slovenly man in front of him was nothing short of wealthy. Don't get involved.

Merlin raised his head, his eyes became blurred, like a mature old man who has gone through many vicissitudes, "To be honest, I used to be a rich man~"

Hobbs smacked his mouth, and said in a helpless tone, "It's exactly as Alice said, you guys often play tricks on your body..."

"Tsk, what does that little idiot Alice know?" Merlin curled his lips, thinking to forget it, he couldn't tell Hobbs, poverty limited this guy's imagination.

"Okay, okay, you used to be a rich man, I believe it." Hobbs didn't want to get serious with Merlin, so he changed the subject and asked, "The Royal Racecourse has reopened yesterday, what's the matter? Are you interested in playing two games?" Bundle?"

"Yes~, can you lend it to me? This woman Alice restricts my wallet, which makes me embarrassing and embarrassing..." Merlin said seriously.

"This..." A drop of cold sweat dripped down Hobbs' forehead, thinking that the loan to Merlin would basically be a meat bun to beat a dog, and he would never return, so he suddenly changed his mind and said, "I'm just asking, I don't think it's right to bet on horses. What a good habit should be condemned, so I also advise you to play less, small bets are fun, big bets are harmful~"

Merlin narrowed his eyes and asked in surprise, "Is this also from your mouth?"

"Ahem! That's not the point..." Hobbs coughed a few times in embarrassment, and changed the subject, "Didn't you spend a lot of money and buy a lot of horse betting tickets? You must have won a lot, this time. A bald head can’t justify it.”

Merlin remembered how he had spent Alice's small coffers, and responded awkwardly, "It's a pity that I made you look forward to it for nothing..."

"No... no way!" Hobbs stared wide-eyed, seeing Merlin's expression, he had already guessed the general idea, and couldn't help but think, so many horse betting coupons and he still didn't win one!This can no longer be described as bad luck!It's almost like being cursed by Lady Luck!A man abandoned by God, so pitiful...

"Hey! Hobbs, brother Merlin!" Carl walked over with a glass of wine, grinning.

"Oh? Carl, you're already back?" Hobbs was slightly surprised.

"It's not long since I've been back." Carl replied with a smile.

In fact, just the day before yesterday, Carl had completed his mission and came back. He happened to see Hobbs and Merlin chatting here today, so he came over.

Carl is very optimistic about Merlin, and thinks that this guy will shine in the future, so he takes special care of the super rookie.

Whether the Wrexham Guild can flourish in the future depends on whether Merlin can become famous in the Adventurer Competition.

"Did you quarrel with Rukia? She looks the same whether you come back or not. There is no joy on her face when her father comes back." Hobbs showed meaningful eyes.

"You have to understand that my daughter is now in a rebellious period, and she will get better sooner or later." Carl showed a confident look.

Hobbs didn't speak, thinking who was Karl lying to?How old is Rukia, and she is still in the rebellious period, so she must have entered menopause early.

Carl pretended not to see Hobbs' contemptuous eyes, and turned to chatting with Merlin, "Brother Merlin, how are you doing?"

"Barely, I can only maintain my life by talking about it every day..." Merlin responded awkwardly, thinking that Carl didn't mean to expose his scars, right?I've been busy recently and haven't caught any hair, and I'm depressed.

"Impossible? I heard from Rukia that you and Alice went to the imperial capital a while ago. At that time, the situation in the kingdom was still unstable. Did you take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune?" Karl thought it was unlikely, and joked, "Now your husband and wife The two of you are already able to receive private entrustments, and you must have met some important people, everyone is in the same industry, so don't hide it."

"Really didn't make any money? Look at what Alice is doing? Here~" Merlin pouted, telling them to look at the entrustment bulletin board over there.

Hobbs and Karl Qiqi looked over, only to see the slim and tall Alice standing in front of the bulletin board, carefully selecting tasks.

Alice frowned, her face darkened, she leaned on her chin with her hands, looking at the densely packed tasks on the bulletin board, she couldn't help feeling a headache.

She has been standing here for a long time, carefully looking at all the tasks, but her eyes became more and more sad, with poverty written all over her face

No way, there is absolutely no suitable task to pick up.

Either the pay is low, or it looks too simple.

There is not even an S-level mission, it is not possible at all.

How to do?

Could it be that I can no longer support this stinky man, Merlin? ?

(,,????,,)

Chapter 10: Meeting

Carl and Hobbs withdrew their gazes and looked at Merlin in embarrassment. Seeing that the two of them were so eager to take on the task, it seemed that things were really not going well for a while.

"Really? What did you guys do when you went to the imperial capital?" Hobbs had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.

"It's not that there is no gain, it's just that it's not very close to people." Merlin showed a melancholy smile on his face.

"It's okay, it's okay, you and Alice can now receive private missions with good rewards, and it will definitely be better in the future." Carl comforted Merlin with a dry smile, thinking that his self-confidence should not be hit, otherwise something will happen. questionable.

Merlin didn't speak, thinking that what Carl said was right, Alice's prestige would become higher and higher in the future, and the guy who gave the money would step on the threshold?

"Besides, there are relatively few tasks on the bulletin board, especially those above S rank. This requires a certain amount of luck, so don't be discouraged, patience will definitely pay off." Carl said very politely.

"Yeah, look at Carl, he has never stopped his private commissions. He is very busy every day, and the clients are all famous people." Hobbs pointed to Carl next to him.

"Compared to Mr. Carl, we are not well-known. We won't find such a good job by ourselves." Merlin responded helplessly.

"Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before you two surpass me, if I don't feel wrong..." Carl looked back at Alice again, narrowed his eyes and said, "Alice's strength seems to have become stronger again. How long have you been out? I didn't expect to grow to this point, and I'm afraid it will surpass me in a short time."

Seeing Alice growing so fast, Karl couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction. The strength of the guild has increased now. The adventurer competition in the lower realms is really worth looking forward to. Maybe there will be the best results in history.

"I really didn't expect Alice to turn salty fish over. When will I leave the level of the black iron adventurer?" Hobbs couldn't help but sigh.

Merlin smiled awkwardly, thinking that Hobbs would really be joking, if he could break away from the black iron level, then he would have already been Zijin.

"Our guild is in good shape now. Alice is getting stronger day by day, and she will make a difference in the future. If Ralph comes back, the guild will have all the strong members." Carl said with a look of longing.

"By the way, Ralph, this guy went out on a mission and hasn't come back for more than half a year? Could something have happened?" Hobbs frowned.

"Yeah, I haven't been back for a long time, but with Ralph's strength, it shouldn't be a big problem. If there is still no news, we have to look for it." Karl frowned.

Merlin raised his head in doubt, and asked curiously, "Who is Ralph?"

"Huh? Didn't Alice tell you?" Hobbs asked strangely.

"No." Merlin shook his head blankly.

"Ralph, that's another Mithril adventurer from our guild. He's been here for a long time. He's an old member, haha..." Carl smiled heartily and recalled, "That guy has been Treat me as a competitor, but still can't compare to me."

Merlin recalled to Alice that you said that there are three strong men above the holy rank in the guild. It turns out that this is Ralph, but he has never seen it before.

Alice seemed to be looking for a long time but couldn't find a suitable job, so she walked back dejectedly and sat next to Merlin.

"How?" Merlin asked tentatively.

Alice shook her head with a face full of disappointment, and said discouragedly, "It's not good, there is no suitable one at all, what are you willing to do with a job like moving bricks?"

"Damn it! I'm dignified..." Merlin subconsciously wanted to say the big devil, but suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly changed his words, "My dignified Master Merlin went to move bricks, I really lost my life."

"There's no better job then. The rent is due again soon, and we have to save money for various expenses, QAQ." Alice's mouth wrinkled, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Merlin became embarrassed, thinking that he didn't gamble too much, how could the money be spent so quickly?Are you going to live the days of waking up in your sleep because of poverty?

"Everyone, long time no see!"

Arnold didn't know when he came to the guild, and he greeted everyone with vigor, but his arm was bandaged, and he seemed to have failed in the war to suppress the rebellion.

But fortunately, Arnold survived, and I have to say that this guy's luck is really good.

"Arnold? You're back too?" Hobbs widened his eyes and added unceremoniously, "I thought you were going to die. Although you are timid and useless, you are also the chosen one." .”

"Hey, Hobbs, you old guy, save me some face. I fought for the honor of my family, and I almost died on the battlefield. It's too inappropriate for you to belittle me now." Arnold said solemnly.

"Yeah Hobbs, Arnold is a rare brave guy, we should encourage him." Carl poked Hobbs next to him.

"Well, Arnold is awesome!" Hobbs echoed with a suppressed smile.

Arnold raised his head and pointed his nose to the sky, not realizing the irony in Hobbs' words.

"Arnold, I heard that you joined the army in place of your father this time, and you even went head-to-head with the United Legion? It's really impressive. I used to think he was a spineless guy, but now it seems that you are also an admirable man." Carl said seriously.

"That's right, don't look at the usual polite, but for the sake of the family, I am willing to shed my blood." Arnold spoke with a high-sounding sound, completely forgetting his embarrassment when he encountered the black wolf mercenary group.

"Come on, you must have been the first to escape, so you were lucky to survive, don't say you are so powerful, okay?" Hobbs couldn't help but say.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Hobbs, you have too much prejudice against me. Everyone has a heroic side. I stood on the battlefield until the last second. The knights fought bravely to the end, and although they ended in defeat, they played an important role in holding back the footsteps of the United Legion." Arnold raised his bandaged arm and said proudly, "This injury is the one that hurt me the most. It is a powerful proof, and it is also my medal of merit."
