The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Is the old king poisoned?" Merlin thought this was not good news, which meant that Margaret would focus most of her energy on it.

"Yeah, it should be that Midas poisoned the old king before he left, and he didn't want to make the empire peaceful. If the old king died, it would definitely cause more chaos." Alice speculated.

"Anyone respond?" Merlin asked.

"I saw that there were a lot of onlookers, and there were quite a few pharmacists with bottles and cans, but no one came up to respond." Alice's hair on her head shook.

"Why?" Merlin frowned suspiciously.

"Because the conditions are a bit harsh, it says that in order to prove the strength of the pharmacist himself, he needs to drink a poison in person, and he can cure the king if he can undo it, otherwise he will not be allowed." Merlin replied.

"What!? To heal the king, the pharmacist needs to drink the poison himself?... Isn't this making people commit suicide?" Merlin thought it was incredible, thinking that Princess Margaret was too strict, right?The whole country is looking for pharmacists, but the threshold is set extremely high. How many pharmacists dare to take this job?Drink poison yourself?If you can't solve it...it's dead, no wonder others?

"Yeah, I also think this condition is too much. If those pharmacists are not confident enough, they will commit suicide by drinking the poison, so many people hesitate. No one is willing to try to heal the old king after so long." Aliceton After a pause, he added, "But I think Her Royal Highness is for insurance? After all, healing the king is of great importance. It is impossible to let a group of pharmacists who can't even solve the poisoning themselves take over. This excludes a lot of low-level guys.

"It seems that... Merlin thought about it for himself, and he could barely understand Margaret, and he didn't force people to drink poison. If he wants to heal the king, he must at least have confidence in his potion level.

"Hmph! What kind of insurance? This princess is clearly a vicious woman, even if she kills someone, she would not do it herself. I advise you to stay away." Beelzebub felt that Margaret had too many thoughts, and was really unhappy. It's worth believing.

"You are not much better? Do you know that your attack on the royal city caused a lot of damage? Compared with Margaret, more people died at your hands." Alice retorted hostilely.

"Shut up! Are you worthy of judging me? If Lucifer didn't love you so much, I'd eat you right now!" Beelzebub bared his fangs in protest.

"Eh?" Alice blushed, her little heart beat violently, and she looked at Merlin beside her in surprise, "..."

"No, no, he's talking nonsense, don't think so...I don't, haha..." Merlin hurriedly explained, smiling dryly to cover up his embarrassment, and thought to himself

What nonsense is this guy Beelzebub talking about?How will I face Alice then?

By the way, this woman is blushing!Could it be that you are angry from embarrassment...

On the bulletin board in Wangcheng, the news of the recruitment of pharmacists is posted on it.

If you want to accept this task, just go up and tear up the notice.

Two imperial guards stood guard in front of the notice board to prevent anyone from making trouble here.

At this time, a large number of people stopped here to point and point, and many of them were pharmacists who had heard the news.

"If you want to detoxify the king, you have to prove that you and the poison are detoxified. Isn't this nonsense?"

"That's right, you can't take poison indiscriminately, what if you can't get rid of it?

"I don't think Her Royal Highness has changed at all, she still likes to mess around, and probably doesn't know anything about pharmacy."

The pharmacists condemned Margaret one after another, and no one dared to tear up the notice and accept this difficult task.

At this time, a small man in a brown robe squeezed to the front. His short body could easily be mistaken for a dwarf.

He was wearing a hood so that his face could not be seen clearly, and he carried a long wooden wand in his hand that could be used as a walking stick.

The little man read the content of the notice, and suddenly smiled a little, the badge of the Bauhinia Knights shining on his chest: "Margaret:

"What a smart princess." ('Heart)

Chapter 14: The First Person Under God, Phoenix

Canglan Youyan's team left the royal city in a mighty way, not even daring to turn their heads.

The carriages galloped towards the south, towards the location of the ruins.

In the leading carriage, President Humphrey sat in the innermost part with a darkened face, lowered his head and said nothing, as if he had received a big blow, the disciples followed Humphrey silently, and their mentality was not much better, either. Few people still recalled the terrifying coercion of Beelzebub just now.

Canglanyouyan is also one of the four dark guilds, and they are notorious. They usually bully others. Today is good. Being taught has made many disciples lose confidence, and even began to doubt the ability of the leader Humphrey?

A guild leader who succumbs to other people's force, what qualifications does he have to be the leader of the guild?

Fortunately, Eden was still calm, and he was very lucky to be able to escape safely from under the nose of the devil. Just now, he thought that he would not be able to leave the king's city alive today.

It's just that he is more and more confused about Merlin, the black iron adventurer. The Gluttonous Demon King seems to have a good relationship with Merlin, and he is also obedient.

The attack on the royal city nearly paralyzed the entire empire. I don't know how many people died in this chaos. Is this a tyrant who obeys the words of human beings?Not to mention how shocking it was.

He even suspected that Merlin was not a human, otherwise how could the high-ranking demons be with humans?

Eden looked around at his companions, and found that everyone was a little depressed. They must have been stimulated just now, especially Humphrey, who had been in the dark from the beginning to the end, not to mention OSE Quan Xiaozhi.

There was a layer of cold sweat on Humphrey's forehead, and his body was trembling slightly. He hadn't come out of the fear yet, and his mind was full of questions like why my magic didn't work for that black iron adventurer?

Why is the opponent's physical strength so strong that he can easily break the hard black crystal?

Why did the gluttonous demon king who made troubles in the empire appear next to him, and he seemed to have a good relationship with this black iron adventurer?

What kind of crazy slayer am I, a murderous madman, I am like an ant in front of the devil!

Humphrey was full of doubts. He couldn't figure out how this pair of adventurers from Britain could be so powerful, and even the king of the demon clan could get involved. As for the female demon swordsman who didn't show up, he didn't dare to think too much.

"President? President?" Eden called a few times, trying to calm down the president's depression.

"Ah...huh!?" Humphrey was startled as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"What's wrong with you, President?" Eden asked, if Humphrey didn't pull himself together, the guild might fall apart.

"...Nothing." Humphrey tried his best to calm down his emotions, "I just didn't expect that one of the seven demon kings would be there. E is really surprising.

"Yes, although I have heard that the power of the demon kings is extremely terrifying, but after feeling it at such a close distance, it is indeed more terrifying than imagined." Eden nodded in agreement.

"The Devil Eater is so powerful. How did the empire defeat this monster? I have never heard of any strong man in France who can defeat the king of the demons. Thanks to Eden, otherwise we will provoke the empire without authorization, and I am afraid it will end. It goes without saying!" Laurie said with lingering fear.

The twin sisters Yuna and Weina didn't speak, feeling that they were still too naive. The power of the gluttonous demon king is already very terrifying, and if they want to provoke the empire that defeated the demon king, isn't that courting death?

"That's right, any empire with a large scale must have a mysterious power that can deter the enemy. It is not a last resort, and it must not be provoked. The ghostly praise is also one of the four dark guilds. Didn't it fall in the end? This is a lesson for us. , don’t follow the same old path.” Eden said in a cautious tone.

"Eden is right. Although our guild is not weak, we still need to keep a low profile when going out." Humphrey nodded, thinking that what Eden said made sense.

"But president, why did you miss that black iron adventurer when you sneaked up?" Eden asked suspiciously.

"Yes, President, why were you subdued by a black iron adventurer?" Yuna couldn't help asking.

"President, you're not deliberately releasing water, are you?" Wei Na became suspicious, feeling that Humphrey is very strange today.

"Haven't you noticed? That black iron adventurer is not someone who can be easily provoked. Do you know how hard this black crystal wand is? Even if it is burned with the hottest flames for several years, it will not change, but it is He broke it easily, how many people can do this powerful physical strength? Can you?" Humphrey asked everyone, showing them the two wands in his hand.

Everyone was silent. Hearing what the president said, he had to reposition Merlin's strength. Could the person who can easily destroy the black crystal be the black iron adventurer?impossible!

"This black iron adventurer is very weird. Have you noticed that even the gluttonous demon king respects his opinion, but the demon king is a monster who has the ability to penetrate the entire empire by himself. How can he be so close to a human adventurer?" Eden Boldly expressed his doubts, "It seems to be the case. At that time, I always thought that this black iron adventurer was a little face. How could his wife, Mithril, be willing to marry a low-level black iron? Today, it seems that things are not so simple." Lao Rui suddenly came to his senses, thinking that he seemed to have been played all the time, "Maybe this black iron adventurer's wife is even more terrifying?" Eden asked curiously.

"Impossible. Oswald and I tried to assassinate the magic swordsman in Galway City. Although he is very strong, he is definitely not an invincible existence. He must not be able to easily destroy the black crystal." Laurie replied in an affirmative tone.

... Eden stared blankly, lowered his head and thought in his heart, what is the origin of this black iron adventurer?Are you deliberately hiding your strength?When did such a strong man appear in Britain!

"The strange thing is not that he can easily destroy the black crystal, but that my magic doesn't work on him, which leads to my complete failure as a magician... Humphrey thinks this is the most powerful part of the opponent.

"No... that adventurer is wearing magic armor?" Laurie said tentatively.

"Are you stupid? With the strength of the president, even magic defense items can't completely block it, but the opponent is hardly injured at all!" Yuna glanced at Laurie.

"I'm afraid Laurie was frightened stupid by the devil, thinking that the president is as useless as him, haha." Wei Na gave Laurie a white look and said sarcastically.

"...I wasn't scared stupid!" Laurie blushed and defended thickly.

"Enough, now is not the time to quarrel. Although we have suffered a loss here, we will find it sooner or later. Oswald is our companion. We must report his death. As for now? We will Taking the treasures of Dracula's ruins is the top priority, and don't worry about other things for the time being." Humphrey said seriously.

"The president is right. Although the black iron adventurer is extremely mysterious and powerful, we don't need to be afraid of him. Let's make the guild stronger first, so that we have the right to speak, and then look for opportunities to kill this pair of adventurers." Or let them know the fate of offending us. Eden was relieved, it seems that Humphrey is still calm and knows the severity.

"But... the boy and the Gluttonous Demon King seem to have a good relationship, we can... Laurie hesitated to speak.

"Even if we can't defeat the Demon King, we can still involve other dark guilds. Don't forget, now that Phoenix is ​​unprecedentedly strong, even the Demons have the capital to fight head-on. Their president even has the title of phoenix." Eden After a pause, he said leisurely: "If even that man can't defeat the Demon King, maybe only God can do it?"

"I have always believed that the president of Phoenix is ​​nothing but God..."

"The strongest human

Chapter 15: Drunk in one gulp

On the bulletin board in front of the palace, many pharmacists are still discussing here, and have already belittled Margaret to nothing in private.

Originally, Margaret's reputation was not very good, and she did a lot of inexplicable and seemingly nonsense things.

It is even more absurd to ask the pharmacists to test the poison themselves!

Even conspiracy theories have begun to be promoted, saying that Margaret didn't want the king to wake up, so that she can directly ascend the throne and become the new queen of the empire! ?

But if you think about it carefully, this conspiracy theory can't stand up to scrutiny. Margaret is the sole heir and has no brothers and sisters. Sooner or later, the empire will belong to her.

Just when no one had the guts to accept the task, the little man with the badge of the Bauhinia Knights pinned to his chest stepped forward and tore off the notice, which completely surprised everyone: "My God! Someone accepted the task." Mission!? What do you think?'

"There are people who are not afraid of death, poison is not so easy to cure, and a little mistake will add poison to poison!

"Young man, I advise you to give up obediently, don't not know how you died, Her Royal Highness is clearly making fun of others!"

"It's okay, I'm willing to try." The little man rolled up the notice, smiled and said, "Don't call me a young man, in fact, I'm over 60 years old, but my baby face is too deceptive.

Hearing what the little man said, many people were secretly surprised. No matter how they looked at him, he was also a boy in his twenties. The young man seemed to be able to squeeze out water from his face. He looked quite immature, unlike some With so much social experience, it's hard to think that the other party is already in his fifties.

Kouchang Mu Xiaowan

The two guards who were in charge of guarding the notice saw someone accepting the task, so they stepped forward and asked, "Would you like to heal His Majesty the King? Don't forget that you need to drink the poison we prepared.

"Of course, I'm willing to give it a try." The short man responded casually.

The guard couldn't help frowning, seeing that the short man was too young, he really didn't look like he was in his fifties, let alone an experienced pharmacist, "Are you sure? This is not a joke, do you really understand pharmacy?

"I understand." The little man nodded, didn't he brag?

"Okay, explain your identity clearly, and I will report to Her Majesty the Princess." The guard stopped talking, but asked about the little man's details.

"My name is Clardy, and I'm from Great Britain." The short man paused, and added, "Oh, yes, I belong to the Bauhinia Knights, the 12th Thorn Knight. <In the bedroom, the light is a bit dim.

The old king was lying on a luxurious big bed dying, and his physical condition was deteriorating.

His old face was covered with wrinkles, and his complexion had another kind of dark purple, which was obviously the rhythm of a disease.

Margaret accompanied her by the bed, looking after her father, whether he wiped the old king's cheek with a warm towel.
