The Unemployed Demon Lord

Chapter 26: Trial Plan

Hearing Merlin and Beelzebub's casual explanation, Alice was a little speechless.

Yes, the two of them are demons, and of course they would instinctively dislike the Holy See.

It's just that Alice felt that it was too much to belittle the Holy See as useless, and it was even a little demonized.

Joan of Arc is a believer through and through. For the believers, the belief in the goddess is everything, more important than life.

"Don't you think this is too much?"

"What? Do we have to praise the Goddess' lackeys against our conscience?" Beelzebub raised his eyebrows.

"Even if the Holy See is somewhat unclean, is it still trustworthy compared to the wanton killing of demons?" Alice retorted unconvinced.

"It turns out that... Beelzebub nodded, and said in a contemptuous tone, "You were also a running dog of the Holy See, and your mind is no longer normal. It is their usual method to manipulate stupid human beings with sweet words.

"You're talking nonsense! Many people in the Holy See just want world peace. Isn't there a thug like you who threatens mankind all the time?" Alice frowned, recalling Beelzebub's actions, she suddenly felt that the Holy See wanted to There is nothing wrong with exterminating demons.

"It's ridiculous, we threaten humans? Do you humans like to trample ants on the ground when you have nothing to do? Isn't this full of food! Beelzebub's eyes sharpened, and he said with emphasis, "Say we threaten humans, show evidence ah?

"...Alice is at a loss for words. After thinking about it, there is really no good evidence. Although the demons are powerful and threatening, there seems to be no record of provoking disputes.

"In our very powerful era, at most we only enslaved you, and did not let humans become extinct. After the Era of Demons, we stuck to various remote places and almost never left the Demon King's Palace to interfere with human life. But what about you? Crusade against war, thinking about the complete extermination of demons, I would like to ask, who is the one who is evil to the bone?" Beelzebub asked sonorously.

Alice was speechless by what Beelzebub said, because the Holy See always took the initiative to attack the demons because of what the other party said.

Almost every time it is under the banner of "suppressing evil and protecting mankind", which has become a normal thing.

The demons are evil and cunning, and the Holy See of Justice inherits the will of the Goddess of Light to eradicate evil without reason.

"The Holy See has killed countless demons in every war, and what I have killed...is just a drop in the bucket." Beelzebub paused, waved his hand and said, "In the final analysis, human beings are too stupid to become demons. The lackeys of the goddess, all rooted in the conflict between the demons and the heavens, human beings? At best, they are just the pawns of the goddess..." Alice was still unconvinced, and looked at Merlin, "Do you think so too?

"Of course, Alice, you have to know that history is written by the victors, and no one will record it fairly. The ass decides the head. Although I don't know what you saw in the Holy See? But it may not be true." Merlin still compared Agree with Beelzebub's remarks.

"If you say that, is it true that what you demons said must be true?" Alice asked Merlin back.

"This one

Merlin hesitated, because he couldn't guarantee it either.

The air became silent, Beelzebub looked at Merlin, then at Alice, and suddenly realized some problems. It turned out that the pair of dogs and men were not as harmonious as they appeared on the surface, and they were so fragile emotionally. distrust.

As long as some conflicts between opposing camps are provoked, it will easily fall apart.

Unless they can completely abandon their past, it is impossible to walk together.

From this point of view, I am relieved, Lucifer will return sooner or later, it is only a matter of time...

At night, the O'Brien Cathedral was lit up again, and many believers took refuge here, and they were able to receive food relief from the priests.

Archbishop Scott was on the attic of the church page, looking through the window at the believers who took refuge below.

"Dong dong dong" came three knocks on the door, and Joan came in from the outside with an ugly expression on her face.

"My lord, I'm back.

"Thank you, my child." Archbishop Scott turned around slowly, with a kind smile on his face, "How is the result? Is Alice changing her mind and willing to serve the Holy See?" Joan shook her head, with a helpless expression. Said in a tone, "She doesn't want to, I've tried my best to persuade her, but... it didn't work? "

"Could it be that the conditions I offered were not generous enough? His Majesty the Pope is kind-hearted, and the money she owes may not have to be repaid, and there is no need to be a dusty adventurer." Archbishop Scott said sadly , I feel that the conditions I offered are not low, and it must be easier than being an adventurer.

"I don't think...it's not a question of whether the conditions are good or not. What might the bishop have misunderstood?" Joan of Arc said hesitantly.

"Oh? What did I misunderstand?" Archbishop Scott asked curiously.

"I think Alice's refusal to come back is entirely because of love." Joan of Arc frowned, and said slowly, "She likes the black iron adventurer next to her so much that she is willing to give up everything for this useless man. , so it is useless for you to set any conditions, my lord bishop. The key obstacle is that black iron adventurer.

"Black iron adventurer? What's so attractive about that guy? Why does Alice have a soft spot for him? ... Isn't it normal? Even with Alice's current status as a mithril adventurer, it's too right to completely surpass him. It's obviously impossible. Well... Archbishop Scott couldn't turn his head around.

"I don't know very well. That useless man seems to be feeding on Alice. I can't understand why Alice likes this kind of guy?" Joan of Arc's expression showed obvious disgust.

"Now it's a bit tricky... Archbishop Scott got a headache and fucked his temple.

"Not only that, even Alice has been affected by that black iron adventurer, and has become a little strange?" Joan of Arc recalled the conversation just now, and felt that Alice had already triumphantly advanced on the evil road.

"What does this mean?" Archbishop Scott asked suspiciously.

"The people around Alice are simply villains. They speak out words that slander the Holy See and the goddess without hesitation, but Alice is justifying them? It is obvious that the soul has been polluted!" Joan of Arc said angrily, her teeth were straightened. itch.

Scott's face became ugly, and he was silent for a while and said, "How could this happen? Slandering the great goddess will be punished, let alone the hero who bewitched us. It seems that Alice must have been punished for not coming back." cheat.

"That's right, I think so too!" Jeanne's tone became fierce, "That black iron adventurer is full of nonsense, he is simply the most despicable heretic, without him, how could Alice not be willing to take on the role again?" Brave?!"

"If you don't have a... well said, my child." Scott nodded, then turned around and said meaningfully, "No one in this world can slander the Holy See, let alone the great goddess, because we represent the gods to execute Justice, all those who oppose the Holy See are evil pagans, we must purify them, and let the whole world be bathed in light.

"My lord bishop's meaning... Joan of Arc asked puzzledly.

"Look for an opportunity to judge that black iron adventurer without anyone noticing." Archbishop Scott decided to kill Merlin, which is the most effective and direct way: "I believe that as long as there is no such heretic bewitching Alice, she Will definitely return to the embrace of the goddess...

Chapter 26: The Upright Guy (There will be another update before 0 o'clock)

Joan was really taken aback for a moment, having doubts about the bishop's thoughts, and was a little at a loss for a short time.

If you want to kill the black iron adventurer directly, isn't this approach too much?

Although this man did have a great influence on Alice, assassinating him does not conform to the official image of the Holy See, on the contrary, it looks like a villain.

Joan of Arc frowned, she was not very happy to do such obscene things, she was very resistant in her heart.

"Remember to do it secretly. It's best not to let anyone find out, let alone make people suspect that our Holy See did it." Archbishop Scott didn't notice Joan's face, and said to himself, "If Alice knew that we were the ones who did it, not only would it be impossible to win her back, but it might also arouse Alice's rebellious psychology. It is not impossible to hate the Holy See and become an enemy."

"But the bishop... Joan raised her head and couldn't help questioning, "Isn't it despicable to do so?We are all servants of the goddess, and we should treat everyone with kindness, even if the other party is a villain.

"You're right, we really shouldn't use such a despicable method of assassination, which violates the teachings of the goddess, but villains are not human, and they will become evil minions at any time, stifling all dangers in their cradles and Nothing wrong." Scott looked at Joan of Arc and said persuasively, "Besides, Alice used to be our companion, but now she is influenced by people with bad views. If this continues, Alice will fall into the quagmire of evil. Extricate yourself.

Joan lowered her head, lost in thought, and felt that what Archbishop Scott said was not wrong, no matter how bad the means of assassinating evil guys, they were all to promote justice, and besides, Alice was barely her friend, so she must not watch him continue. Bewitched.

"Don't be suspicious, we are all here to save Alice's soul." Archbishop Scott patted Jeanne on the shoulder kindly. A few dark clouds covered the moonlight, making the entire royal city even more gloomy.

Although the empire has initially returned to normal, it is still in a precarious state.

Places other than the capital began to send troops here one after another to further strengthen the defense of the royal city.

But right now, it has to be said that the defense of Wangcheng is loose, and anyone can easily enter and exit.

Even Dick Turpin, who had been pretending to be a guard for so long, was not noticed.

At the city gate, the exhausted guard lay on the ground and fell asleep, holding a spear in his arms.

Dick Turpin took off his disguise a long time ago, squatted down with great interest and drew a mocking turtle on the guard's face with a pen.

After looking at the works he had left behind, Dick Turpin nodded in satisfaction, and took the guard's horse away without any hassle.

Midas fled west?Then try your luck in the desert, maybe you will get something unexpected...

I have worked for the vampires for so long in vain, is it too much to ask for a little interest?

Moreover, Midas has been the prime minister for so long, so he must have wealth beyond compare.

If I don't get some benefits, I'm not Dick Turpin!

After leaving the city, Dick Turping rode on his horse and galloped towards the west under the cover of night.In his name, he slowly took out a nail-sized stone from his bosom, which glowed faintly in the dark night. It was the Godsend Stone that Clady lent to Margaret. With this thing, the blood race seems to have nothing to fear …

Wealth, treasure, even this empire, I want a piece of it all! <In the mansion.

The two Thorn Knights, Clardy and Masefield, decided to stay in the royal city for the time being and wait until France was completely free of danger before leaving.

I don't know why Blaise was particularly active today, and Margaret volunteered to send the two of them to the mansion without asking.

Margaret didn't say anything, and pretended not to notice Blaize's frequent courtesies, thinking that he should know the severity and not be abducted by Britain's first knight.

But Margaret was still worried, and before leaving, she told Blaise not to get too close to Masefield, and to always remember that she was a French knight.

As for Masefield?She was straightforward, and thought that France always treated foreign guests with such enthusiasm, and with Blaise's simple and honest appearance, she seemed to regard this strong man as a comrade in the united front.

Masefield and Clardy got off the carriage, and for the next period of time, the two of them would live here with Merlin and his gang.

"You two, please rest here? If there is anything, I will personally inform you." Blaise said honestly. Originally, it was fine for the guards to do such trivial matters, but in order to see more about Masefield, this The simple and honest guy has become extremely diligent.

"Thank you for your care. With Her Royal Highness Margaret's ability, the kingdom will soon return to normal. If you need help with any difficulties, please feel free to ask." Clardy said thanks.

"Okay, Mr. Zhai is kind and willing to help us when we are in crisis. We will definitely repay this kindness in the future. Blaise said very humbly, and his words and deeds are very respectful to Clardy.

"This is all for the friendship between our two empires." Clardy smiled.

"That's right! Long live friendship!" Blaise scratched his head and couldn't help looking at Masefield next to Clardy, "That...Miss Windsor, I don't know if you have time tomorrow? We... maybe we can chat Chatting or something..."

Clardy couldn't help smiling when he saw Blaize's stupid mouth, and chose to stand aside silently.

"Let's chat?" Masefield was straighter than Blaise. After thinking about it, he said seriously, "You mean to compete with me? I would like to have a hard fight with you, but you are still injured. On the body, I think it's better to wait until your injury recovers, I don't want to take advantage of others' danger, so that the victory is useless.

...It's not like this... Blaise became embarrassed, his forehead was sweating, but his mouth was too stupid, he didn't know how to tactfully ask a girl for a date?

"Your Excellency, Blaise, don't worry, I know I really want to compete with me, but if it's not in the prime of life, it's meaningless." Masefield put his hands on his chest and said seriously, "I They are all knights serving the royal family, representing their respective empires behind their backs, and they must go all out for honor.

After hearing this, Blaise was in awe of Masefield, and his consciousness was not as high as others, and he suddenly felt ashamed, "Miss Windsor said yes.

After Blaze left, Clardy couldn't bear to recall his pitiful appearance, and helped to hint at Masefield.

"Windsor, this Lord Blaise really appreciates you.

"I found out too." Masefield nodded, expressing his understanding.

"You actually realized it?!" Clardy was surprised. He and Masefield were still familiar. This little girl had a negative EQ since she was a child. How could she be aware of Blaise's affection?

"I saw the incomparable blaze in His Excellency Blaise's eyes. This is the commonality of us martial arts practitioners. We are full of enthusiasm for climbing the peak of martial arts. When we meet opponents of similar strength, we will feel itchy hands. If we don't compete It will leave a lot of regrets." Masefield nodded solemnly, "Well, I understand, because I am the same, Blaze is much better than Morrison, who is lazy."...Clady shot He patted himself on the forehead, and felt that what he said was just playing the piano to the cow. If one or two honest guys get together, it is doomed that there will be no results.

Seeing that Windsor is no longer young, hasn't he met any men worthy of admiration?

If this continues, 1" may be doomed to die alone

Chapter 28: Late Night Kitchen (plus more)

Clardy saw that Masefield didn't think about the relationship between men and women at all, so he didn't say anything more, but asked about other things.
