The Unemployed Demon Lord

Alice didn't understand that Merlin didn't think about the status quo at all, and always thought that it was a day to day.

My little donkey is so cute, it's faster than ordinary horses, and it's very obedient when raised since childhood.

What's so good about a comfortable carriage?The most important thing in travel is efficiency!

At this time, the two drove a donkey cart for five days and five nights, and they had already entered the territory of Ireland...

This is an inaccessible suburb of Ireland. There are ravines on the moor, like the old man who carved the stone monument in the years and winter.

The little donkey stepped on the gravel and marched towards Galway City.

Merlin pulled the rein and controlled the donkey with a blank expression. To be honest, he had already sat in the donkey cart enough.

Alice was tossing the package beside her, seemingly planning to eat something. Since she was traveling, the food was relatively simple.

However, considering Merlin's picky character, Alice bought a bottle of applesauce in addition to the bread.

Alice took out a piece of bread, spread a layer of jam on it, and handed it to Merlin.

After all, Merlin's driving is quite hard, so it's normal for Alice to take care of him.

"Here!"

Merlin glanced at Alice, put the bread in his mouth, and still muttered, "It's bread and jam again, it's been five days, I eat this every time, please, can you change it? Go out You can’t prepare a few more menus when you’re outside, you’re really going all the way to the end, you…”

"This... Is this also my fault?!" Alice's eyes widened, feeling aggrieved.

"You are in charge of the logistics, so don't you blame who? If I prepare it, the food for five days will not be the same. You guys are really not good at living, it's like..." Merlin paused and thought for a while Adjective, "Like a savage living in the mountains."

"Uh..." Alice felt hurt when she heard Merlin's words, and remembered the hard life in Daxue Mountain when she was a child, and suddenly became angry, "You don't even look at the situation now! You always want to enjoy yourself, and now you are eating everything Drink, let me ask you what to do with next month's rent?"

"..." Merlin was speechless with a drop of cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

"It's not that you squandered my savings, it's all on your own account! Blame me? Shameless! If you don't eat it, don't eat it! Save it! Hmph~!" Alice took the bread that Merlin was holding in his mouth. After snatching it back, I decided to starve him for this meal, which is so unkind.

"You!" Merlin frowned and looked at Alice, still relishing the sweetness of applesauce in his mouth.

"What me? Do you have an opinion?" Alice raised her small face, trying to fight Merlin to the end, and bought a bottle of jam out of her own good intentions, but Merlin was still picky, damn it!

Merlin withdrew his gaze and looked at the ass of the donkey in front of him, "Okay, don't eat it, I will definitely eat your donkey when I get there!"

"What are you doing!? You are not allowed to eat my Mengmeng! We depend on it for our trip..." Alice showed hostility, like a stray dog ​​protecting her property.

The little donkey uttered a mournful cry, knelt on the ground and refused to leave. This sudden action almost caused Alice and Merlin in the car to fall.

"Look at you! It's all because you said you wanted to eat it, and you scared it so much that you couldn't leave!" Alice was furious.

"Tsk!" Merlin raised the whip next to him and slapped the donkey twice, "Get up! Get up!"

"Stop, stop! What's the use of beating it!?" Alice snatched the whip from Merlin's hand, protecting her weakness, "You have to comfort it well!"

"Comfort a donkey? Are you kidding me?" Merlin laughed at Alice's stupidity.

"Tch! Watch it." Alice put her hand on the donkey's butt, and said in a soft voice, "Come on, I was just joking, we won't eat you, get up, be good~"

A scene that shocked Merlin appeared, the donkey really stood up again, and started to move forward again.

"Look, I told you that beating is useless." Alice said triumphantly, her little nose turned up to the sky again.

Merlin couldn't help but feel ashamed, thinking what kind of donkey is this?Are you mature?

"You raised this donkey?"

"Yeah, she was very cute when she was a child, but now she is only a little over a year old, and she listens to me very much." Alice explained.

"Can you understand human speech? Are you a fool?" Merlin said speechlessly.

Alice rolled her eyes and said to the donkey in front, "Mengmeng, is Merlin a fool?"

The little donkey really responded to Alice, making a cheerful "humming and chirping" sound, which was considered a response.

"Haha, look, even the donkey thinks you're a fool~" Alice laughed out loud, feeling that the donkey was well raised.

Merlin didn't speak, but the blue veins on his forehead were faintly visible, secretly thinking

Wait for me.

I'm going to eat up Alice's donkey sooner or later...

far away.

There were two figures standing in place, they were two cadres from the dark guild, Blue Flame, Laurie and Oswald.

Under the order of the president, Humphrey, the two went here to investigate Baron Barton's acquisition of the treasure map of the vampire relics.

However, the journey of the two of them can be described as full of disasters, not very smooth, and the hired flatter died of illness on the way.

But now there is still a distance from Galway City, and it is a bit slow and tiring to rely on the legs.

So Laurie and Oswald planned to wait here to see if there were any passing caravan carriages, and grab one directly to use it.

Coincidentally, the donkey cart driven by Merlin and Alice fell into the eyes of the two, which immediately gave them hope.

"Hey, hello, here's a carriage." Laurie pushed Oswald next to him.

Oswald raised his head, and with the archer's excellent eyesight, he instantly understood the situation, "What carriage? It's a donkey cart."

"Really?" Laurie was stunned, then waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, as long as it's a car that can walk, how about it? We'll use force to kill the owner in a while, and take this car over." ? I'm getting bored to death in this shitty suburb."

"Wait! Calm down first. There is something wrong with the owner of this donkey cart. It doesn't look like a soft persimmon." Oswald seemed to have discovered it again, and let Laurie put away his murderous aura.

"What's wrong?" As a fighter, Laurie's eyesight and perception were naturally not as good as Oswald's.

"There are two people on the other side, one of them is..." Oswald paused, licked his dry lips, and said with a frown

"He's a Mithril adventurer, and he doesn't look weak."

(ー′ー)

Chapter 21: Loading a Car (Monthly Pass Plus Change)

Oswald's attention was attracted by the mithril adventurer certificate on Alice's neck, and he immediately lost the idea of ​​killing and stealing money.

Because the strength of Mithril adventurers is often not weak, they are the main force of many local guilds, and they are not so easy to deal with.

As for Oswald and Laurie, they had missions on their hands, so they couldn't waste time on the road, or stalk that strong man.

So Oswald immediately gave up the idea of ​​using force to seize it, not because he couldn't beat the mithril adventurer, but because he was afraid of getting into trouble and making it difficult to get out.

However, Laurie still didn't quite understand Oswald's intentions, and said impatiently, "What are you afraid of!? The other party is only a mithril adventurer, can't we win with two holy rank powerhouses?!"

Oswald glanced at Laurie, and said helplessly, "It's not certain whether we will win the fight or not. If this mithril adventurer is at the peak of the holy rank like the president, I'm afraid it's impossible for the two of us to win the fight together." Some difficulty."

"No way, how can there be so many guys at the peak of the holy rank? The monsters at the peak are all big bosses, and it's not so easy to meet." Laurie said helplessly.

"This possibility cannot be completely ruled out, and..." Oswald narrowed his eyes, looking at the approaching Merlin and Alice, "This mithril adventurer dares to choose a weak chicken at the black iron level as a teammate. Obviously there is a problem? If it’s not overconfident, then it’s really strong.”

"Ah? You said the other party has a black iron teammate?!" Laurie looked strange. According to his understanding, Mithril adventurers would not team up with low-level rookies, because they were afraid of being held back during the mission.

"Yes, not only that, that black iron teammate is also her husband..." Oswald's expression became awkward, as if the low-level black iron had been taken care of.

"Isn't it? A dignified mithril adventurer is looking for a black iron rookie to marry!? How is that possible?!" Laurie was a little unbelievable, but his eyes were not as good as Oswald's, and he couldn't see clearly for the time being.

"I'm not lying, it's true." Oswald nodded. At first he was a little puzzled, thinking that it would be fine to bring a rookie teammate and marry him. !

"My God, isn't this world crazy?! There are female mithril adventurers who are willing to marry the lowest-ranked black iron? This status is not on the same level at all!" Laurie felt that he was out of touch with the world, and he saw it The most incredible thing.

"Ghost knows what's going on? Maybe this mithril adventurer likes to keep a little boy?" Oswald responded awkwardly.

"It should be because of soft food, otherwise there would be no reasonable explanation." Laurie nodded.

The two temporarily gave up the idea of ​​​​robbing by force, but chose a soft way to deal with it.

They planned to talk nicely and see if they could get a ride and let Merlin and Alice give them a ride.

Alice and Merlin obviously also noticed that there was someone in front of them, and they seemed to be a little eager.

"Someone, it looks like they're in trouble." Alice whispered to Merlin.

"Be careful, there is something wrong with meeting two dubious identities in the wilderness." Merlin responded in a low voice.

"Well, I know, there is a trace of coercion on them, and they don't seem to be ordinary people." Alice frowned.

Merlin nodded and looked at the two people. It was difficult to see the strength of each other from the coercion. It felt vaguely erratic, either too weak or deliberately suppressing their strength.

In fact, it is very dangerous for adventurers to travel outside, especially when thieves or dubious guys are occasionally killed on the way.

But the ones who should be most vigilant are the guys from the Dark Guild, because the thieves may be asking for money, but the members of the Dark Guild are straightforward and deadly!

Because the normal guild and the dark guild are sworn enemies, and they will never show mercy when they meet each other.

When Merlin and Alice's donkey cart passed by, Oswestry and Laurie hurried up, with a very enthusiastic attitude.

"Hi! Your Excellency, please stop the car!"

Merlin pulled the rein in his hand, stopped the donkey cart, and looked at the other side carefully.

Oswald and Laurie were also looking at them, and they couldn't help but think to themselves at the same time, it really is a little boy, this is not just a black iron rookie, but a complete ordinary person, maybe he can join the Adventurers Guild It's based on nepotism.

As the distance between the two parties got closer, more information was obtained. Oswald and Laurie found out that Alice was a magic swordsman with both magic and martial arts. There's no end to it.

Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is very difficult, and the same level of confrontation will have an advantage. If Oswald and Laurie go up and fight one-on-one at will, I am afraid that they will not be able to gain any advantage.

"What are you doing?" Alice asked, looking at the outfits of Oswald and Laurie, she didn't want traveling merchants or wandering mercenaries at all.

"You two are like this. Our brothers are planning to go to Galway City to do some business, but we encountered some troubles on the way. Can you give us a ride? Presumably the two of you are also going to Galway City?"

Oswald pretended to be distressed, because the road in front of him was the only way out of Galway City, so he could know their destination without asking Merlin and Alice in detail.

"Trouble? What trouble?" Merlin looked at the two in front of him, feeling a little suspicious.

"Our horse died of illness on the way, so I can only beg your Excellency to take us to Galway City for your convenience. We will keep this kindness in our hearts, and we will definitely repay you when we meet again in the future." Oswald was very polite. Say.

"Yeah, we were also surprised that the horse died of illness on the road. If it hadn't been for this unlucky incident, we would definitely not bother you." Laurie echoed.

Merlin looked not far away, it was indeed a carriage, but the horse had fallen to the ground and remained motionless, it seemed that the two of them were not lying.

Alice felt that these two people were quite normal, and they didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, so she secretly asked Merlin, "What should I do? Let them come up?"

"Not good? We don't know them either." Merlin didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

"But they seem to be very distressed, and it's just a matter of lifting them..."
