The Unemployed Demon Lord

In the quiet night, several people stared at the silver-white bottle without saying a word, the atmosphere fell into dead silence, and they all noticed that something was wrong.

Because what Merlin and his party encountered coincided so well with the legend, it was as if they had found the altar that sealed Cain!

Merlin remained expressionless, thinking, right?What a coincidence?We found Cain's sealed place?

Alice, on the other hand, looked solemn, and suddenly remembered what the tree man said, the source of evil sealed in the bottle, could it be Cain! ?

"My God! Have we found the place where the Goddess's Son is sealed?" Old Akalon stood up from the stool in fright.

"Are you kidding? I opened the bottle myself, and there is no hair in it!" Merlin retorted impatiently.

"Your Excellency Merlin, please don't say anything. Didn't you tear off the charm attached to the bottle in the first place, and then there was a weird incident where the bottle opened by itself?!" Old Akalon still hasn't forgotten about it.

"Merlin, such a thing happened?" Alice narrowed her eyes, feeling that Merlin seemed to have stabbed her.

The eyes of several people were like searchlights, and they looked at Merlin in unison, hoping that he could give an explanation.

Merlin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he immediately slapped the table angrily, and said in a calm tone: "Old Mr. Akaron, you are really old, and your brain is really not working. I don't remember it at all. And can you calm down? Don’t scare yourself, let’s go to the altar where some true ancestor is sealed? Is this possible? Friends with a very low probability, and we didn’t see Cain the whole time, isn’t he thirsty for blood? ? If they were really released, they would definitely drain our blood first, but no, so this is just a combination of many coincidences. I’m tired, so I’ll go back to sleep first, bye~”

A few people felt that what Merlin said made sense. The bottle was empty and nothing was seen, let alone a vampire monster. Maybe it was really a mistake.

The priest stared at the bottle for a long time, and said hesitantly, "The matter is too bizarre, maybe we made a mistake, although I have heard that the altar has evil power, but I have never heard of such a terrifying existence as Cain.

"Maybe I've been too eager for success recently, and I'm too sensitive. Good night, everyone." Alice also got up, seemingly wanting to go back to her room.

Old Akalon frowned and pondered for a long time, then muttered, "I'm so smart!"

Quiet church staircase.

Merlin was alone, and walked upstairs slowly, wanting to go back to his room, but he couldn't calm down in his heart—wouldn't it be such a bad luck?

Could it be that I really released...

The monster of the cholera world?

(u one ●)?

In the dark night, the moonlight is obscured by dark clouds.

Outside the dilapidated southern great forest, the ground is full of mess.

A girl wearing a tattered dress and bare feet came out of the depths step by step...

Chapter 22: A New Approach

Or it wasn't just Merlin and his party who came out of the altar.

There is also a little figure who has been completely forgotten, and that is the little robber who was originally found deep in the altar.

Frightened by the tree man, the little robber ran away without communicating with Merlin and the others.

After the little robber escaped from the altar, he did not leave the forest, because just after he walked out of the altar, he saw the terrifying treant waking up again and roaring to slaughter the intruders in the forest.

The little robber, who was dominated by fear for an instant, didn't dare to run around in an instant, so he hurried into the depths of the forest and hid.

Only when it was quiet outside and there seemed to be no danger, did the little robber dare to come out from inside.

After a few days, the little robber did not encounter danger again, and his mental state gradually stabilized.

He slowly walked out from the depths of the forest, looking at the endless pitch-black plain in the distance, and the mess in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart-Is it all over?

Looks like I'm safe.

It's time to go back to the mercenary group and report everything that happened here to the boss Dick Turpin.

But after such a big thing happened, and I returned empty-handed, the boss will definitely punish me, right?

This is how to do?

The little robber scratched his head frantically, the current situation made him dare not go back to face Dick Turpin, he might be executed!

But just when the little robber had no idea, he heard footsteps coming from the forest behind him.

A young girl in a tattered dress who looked like she was only three or four years old stumbled out from the depths of the forest.

She felt dirty all over her body, and she didn't wear shoes on her feet, making her chubby calves covered with mud.

This doesn't look like a child with a family at all, but a little beggar wandering around?

The young girl looked panic-stricken, looking at everything in front of her blankly, and the depths of her eyes were full of uneasiness.

Where did this little girl come from?

How did you come to this forest?

The little robber stared at the young girl, feeling a lot of doubts in his heart, but he immediately felt relieved, thinking it was nothing?

The entire Glenn Plain had a major flood not long ago, and the people were displaced. It is not surprising that even if children are separated from their parents.

So the little robber stared at the young girl's eyes, gradually became greedy, and thought of a way to avoid the punishment of the boss!

As long as he brought this little girl back to the mercenary group, wouldn't he be able to make up for his failure to a large extent? !

Originally, the main source of income for the mercenary group was the sale of virgins, and the younger they were, the more expensive they were.

And isn't the dirty little girl K in front of her perfectly in line with the requirements?Maybe when the boss is happy, he can make up for his mistakes!

The little robber became agitated, and slowly came to the young girl, showing a seemingly "friendly" smile: "Do you need my help?

book SFA

After a few days.

Nothing happened in the chapel.

SF Light Novel

Although the discussion that night led to the existence of Cain.

But everyone still can't believe this shocking coincidence, and think it should just be too much sense of sight.

So that mysterious bottle no longer attracted Merlin's attention, but was kept by the priest.

The problem the group is facing now is that they still haven't found any valuable clues about the blood race.

Still like a headless chicken, looking for information about Dracula everywhere.

Although the three oldest blood races came out of that forest, the secrets in it are already hard to find.

In a certain room, Alice was untying the bandage on her arm and moving her hand a little.

After a few days of recovery, Alice's injury has recovered by [-]% to [-]%, and there will be no more pain that makes it difficult to move.

As long as you continue to rest for a few days, you can fully recover

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, Alice raised her head and threw the bandages on the table into the trash can, "Who?

Merlin pushed open the door of Alice's room, and looked at Alice a few times, "Mr. Acaron said just now that he thought of a way to find the blood race. Let's go over and talk."

"Really?" Alice raised her head, with some doubts in her eyes. She didn't think that old Akalon could do anything. After all, this old man was very ordinary. Compared with real adventure experience, both she and Merlin were better than Akalon. Be great.

"I don't think the old man is joking. Maybe there is a way." Merlin was not sure, because the impression of Akalon along the way was too lucrative, and he didn't seem to be playing the role of Mr. Key at all. man.

"It's better to count on ourselves than Mr. Akaron." Alice didn't expect much, and thought it was just a waste of time.

"Wow, are you looking down on Mr. Akaron? Are you discriminating against low-level adventurers?" Merlin frowned, and put a big hat on Alice when he opened his mouth.

"...I didn't. Don't give me a bad label. It's just that Mr. Akaron's adventure experience is not rich. He has to rely on us along the way, so I just don't trust him very much." Alice said in an emphatic tone. .

"He has completed 99999..."

"Will you shut up?

;

Before Merlin finished speaking, Alice gave him a dissatisfied look and said angrily.

"No matter how many times you complete low-level tasks, you won't accumulate any experience. It's like we eat every day. Are we going to be gourmets in the future? There is no shining point in Mr. Akaron. Let's not pin our hopes on him. body."

"Old Mister Acaron is a little too mediocre, but as a native of France, he understands this empire better than us." Merlin said objectively.

"Aren't you sober yet? Do you think there is anything special about Mr. Akaron? Please wake up, we have been delayed along the way because of his relationship." Alice said tactfully, It means that the old Akalon was a bit of a drag in the team and didn't play any role.

"I've woken up a long time ago, okay? Then let me ask you, do you have any clue about the blood race now?" Merlin asked.

"No, no..." Alice hesitated for a moment, and answered honestly. 14

"That's it, we both don't have a clue, why don't you listen to Mr. Akaron's method, in case you find a new breakthrough?" Merlin looked into Alice's eyes and thought he could listen.

"This... Alice thought about it, and thought it would be okay to go and listen, so she nodded, "I'll be there in a while. "

Merlin glanced at the bandages in the trash can, pretending not to care and asked, "Then... is your injury healed?

"Huh?" Alice raised her head and glanced at Merlin. This was the first time in the past few days that he said something that cared about her, "...it's much better, you don't need to worry about it."

"That's good. We may have to leave the church in a few days to find new clues, so... Merlin paused and scratched his cheek with his fingers, "I hope you recover quickly.

"Didn't you say that I don't have to worry about my rough skin? Are you secretly happy to see me in such a mess?" Alice narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively.

"Isn't it too much to have fun? If you get hurt, I will feel uncomfortable." Merlin said lightly, thinking that of course this sentence was said from the perspective of a companion.

"Well, is it? If you want to care about me, it should be obvious, don't always be cold, I thought you were a killer without emotion

Alice pouted, pretending to be angry and complaining.

So when I was injured, this guy was actually worried?

It's rare to hear words of concern from his mouth, maybe it's a good sign.

Of course I won't feel happy because of it. How can it be so easy to please me?

Chapter 23: The Slave City of Avignon

In old Acaron's room, Merlin and Alice had come as agreed, and wanted to hear about the old man's new method.

In the current situation where he has no clue, maybe old Akalon can run into a dead mouse blindly, and maybe find a breakthrough in the matter.
