The Unemployed Demon Lord

After making up her mind, Alice took over the rapier that fell from mid-air, her dark eyes suddenly became sharper, and she began to fight back Joan of Arc felt the powerful dragon power rushing towards her face, and subconsciously felt panic, as if she was in front of her. Against a real dragon!I appear insignificant in front of it

Alice is already at the pinnacle of the dual holy ranks of battle qi and magic power. The two forces merged with each other, and suddenly burst out a power far beyond a single power system. If Merlin is not counted, Alice is now probably the strongest adventurer in Wrexham , the real head of the star, even Mr. Carl has to stand aside.

Even Masefield, known as the number one cavalier in Great Britain, might not be as strong as Alice today.

Merlin felt a little relieved when he saw Alice's appearance, thinking that this guy is finally going to be serious?Was it just intentional release of water?

Alice oscillated the dragon wings on her back at an extremely fast speed, and the first sword was swung out, sending out a icy cold air!

Joan of Arc wanted to resist, but she couldn't hold back the power of Alice's dragon clan at all. She was directly sent flying, slammed into the wall in the alley, and sank deep into it!

She endured the pain caused by the shock, but she still couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, showing a distressed look.

Alice took advantage of the victory to pursue, and swung out the second sword. The rapier slashed down, adding golden fused ice crystal power, which greatly enhanced the attack.

Joan barely stood up dragging her injured body, the steel spear in her hand was cut off in an instant, and she was as fragile as a dead branch in front of Alice's rapier!

She stared blankly at the steel spear that had been broken into two pieces, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The idea of ​​defeating Alice just now was all an illusion!

Alice swung her rapier, and the third sword swung out, sharp ice thorns emerged, and shot out whizzingly, trying to make the enemy use their resistance.

Puff puff!The sound of a series of icicles piercing into the body sounded, Joan of Arc's joints were injured one after another, she lost the ability to resist on the spot, and her body collapsed weakly.

Alice flapped her dragon wings, slowly stopped in front of the masked Joan of Arc, pointed at her with a rapier, and said coldly, "It's over, I hope you can cooperate with us.

The masked Joan of Arc leaned against the wall weakly, looking at Alice's powerful figure, she couldn't help secretly revealing a wry smile. A few years have passed, and instead of catching up with Alice, the gap between me has become wider and wider.

In the past, I still had a chance to defeat her, but now I have no power to fight back with only three swords.

Really... can't compare...

Chapter 17: The whole city is on alert (Happy New Year!)

Joan of Arc was very unwilling, but helpless, she had to admit that there was a huge gap in strength between herself and Alice.

She could see that Alice didn't use her real strength to defeat herself, because she was sure that the Gluttonous Demon King was even more terrifying!

That kind of strength that can't be overcome no matter what method is used is an insurmountable gap from 2, which is completely different from the same level.

Although Lovely Lisa couldn't win Joan of Arc, relying on the blessing of the pseudo-artifact, she really wouldn't lose so easily.

It's a pity that Joan of Arc was worried about revealing her identity, so she didn't wear the fake artifact belonging to the spear hero.

Joan of Arc covered the wound on her body that was injured by the ice thorn, and stared at Alice with complicated eyes-Alice didn't use her real skills at all, right?This level is still unable to repel the gluttonous demon king, so there must be some kind of secret method hidden.

It's a pity that my strength is limited, and I can't see Alice's true strength.

After so many years, I have worked so hard to improve myself, but in the end I am still no match for Alice. Why is this happening?

Joan's self-confidence was severely frustrated. She thought she could get rid of her shame, but she didn't expect that after the battle with Alice, the pressure would be even greater.

"If you don't want to suffer from flesh and blood, then be honest, as long as you cooperate with us and tell who ordered you, you will be free," Alice said solemnly.

After listening to Joan of Arc, there was a teasing smile in her eyes. In fact, she had been prepared for a long time, thinking that there would be a problem with the assassination mission.

I saw Joan of Arc's scarred body exuding a sacred brilliance, and disappeared in place in just one breath! ?

This is the teleportation scroll that Archbishop Scott gave to Joan of Arc. It is a very rare and expensive magic item that can allow people to escape a lot of dangerous gold.

This kind of ultra-rare props, Nuoda's Holy See only equips twelve cardinal bishops to prevent them from encountering accidents.

In order to ensure that the assassination was foolproof, Archbishop Scott handed over the teleportation scroll to Joan of Arc, telling her to teleport away if there was a problem, but unexpectedly it came in handy.

The archbishop's goal is to win Alice back to the Holy See, but he doesn't want to tear his face or cause conflicts.

"...disappeared?" Alice Xia Ran was taken aback, watching the enemy disappear under her nose, feeling a little inconceivable.

"Ha, why are you so unafraid of death to assassinate us? So there is a way to save your life?" Beelzebub said with a sneer.

"It should be a magical prop of space transfer." Merlin frowned, recalling the bishop who brought Alice to attack him a few years ago. The ultra-rare item of the scroll has a price but no market, "Then...the family just now...couldn't be someone sent by the Holy See?"

"Oh? Hearing you say that 5, those magic sticks really often use this method." Beelzebub nodded in agreement.

"Should...yes, why would the Holy See do such a thing? I have been in the Holy See, and many people are ashamed of assassination. Alice's rebuttal in a weak tone is obviously very groundless.

"Shout! How dare you even excuse the beastly people in the Holy See? Sure enough, even if you leave the Holy See, your heart will still stand there?" Beelzebub sarcastically said in a bad tone.

"Who said that?! I just... just don't think it's possible!" Alice argued.

"Lucifer, you have to be careful, this woman... is not trustworthy, she is not of my race, her heart must be different, you understand? Beelzebub took the opportunity to fan the flames and said.

"...You're talking nonsense!" Alice blushed angrily, worried that Merlin might misunderstand her.

Merlin ignored Beelzebub, looked into Alice's eyes, and felt that the topic was very sensitive, so he said casually, "Maybe... just my illusion?"

"... Beelzebub sighed, feeling that Merlin was too blind to believe in Alice, "The kindness of a woman. "

Alice lowered her head and stopped talking, feeling a mess in her heart.

The enemy's martial arts just now...

It is too similar to Joan of Arc.

Is it?

As night fell, many bonfires in Wangcheng were lit.

That is where soldiers and knights rest.

Due to the influx of a large number of troops into the royal city, there is no way to give everyone a room to rest.

So many regiments camped on the streets of Wangcheng instead of living in houses.

The commotion caused by Merlin and Beelzebub did not cause too much confusion today, but it was still reported to Margaret for handling.

At this time, the palace was brightly lit, and Margaret was very busy in the study, temporarily representing the authority of the king, and constantly approving documents in various places.

Since Midas might attack at any time, Margaret needed to mobilize the military power of the entire empire as much as possible, and she was so busy that she hadn't slept well for a long time.But he is a rough warrior, so he really can't help Blaise. Looking at the tired Margaret, even though he has been guarding the side for the past few days, he can only suggest that Her Royal Highness take more breaths.

"Your Highness, it's already late at night, why don't you take a rest first, I'm busy with these things tomorrow to the dead end of the empire." Margaret said "No, we have to think of every aspect if we want to guard against Midas, and how prepared we can't let him find him Just do it."

The quill continued to write and draw, "No matter what method he uses to attack, we have to respond, and feel that we can't do it at this time." Uh, well, Your Highness, but pay more attention to your body. "Blaze had no choice but to share the worries of His Highness, it was simply dereliction of duty as a knight. Feeling, "Blaze, I heard that Margaret ignored Blaise's concern today, but asked about what happened today. What happened? 'what's the situation?I'm not sure yet. "

"Oh! Yes, Your Highness, there was indeed a commotion in the royal city today, but it was Schblaze who answered quickly. Everything in the city.

"What's going on? Tell me about it...Margaret didn't even look up, but those who wanted to kill the king said that blood spies sneaked in."

"There seem to be two explanations. One said that the fight was caused by a gambling dispute, and Blaise told the truth. How could such a big and small matter cause such a big commotion. "Gambling dispute? Margaret stopped the quill, raised her head and said, "It's not impossible for such a fart to sneak into the king's city as a spy." "Margaret thought about it"

"It's possible that Meadows didn't just sit around and watch over the mansion by the way. When he can't let anyone in the mansion do this, he ordered, "Order the guards to step up their patrols and leave the royal city.Scratching my head, I don't quite understand why the mansion is being monitored, where Alice and "... why?" Blaise scratched

Clardy is just two groups of people.Those people are the foreign aid we rely on. If they leave, we will fall into the trap of "this is a very dangerous period, and the mansion will die together. This is the last resort." Margaret doesn't want to use the star destroyer to fight Maid and others don't care.

"Actually, as long as you monitor Lord Merlin, it's fine, Lord Lin must not be alone."

"Anyone can leave Wangcheng" only Mei

One to one ;)

Chapter 18: The Invisible Shackles

"Eh? Why?" Blaise scratched his head in doubt, thinking that there are not many people in the mansion who can help France, Miss Alice and the two Thorn Knights are very useful, as for Merlin?I'm afraid I can't help you much, right?

"Because as long as Lord Merlin is present, any crisis can be easily resolved."

Margaret replied indifferently, she did not doubt Merlin's ability at all, after all, she had seen the scene of him fighting the gluttonous demon king with her own eyes, and she still vividly remembered it.

If it wasn't for Merlin's own very high value, how could Margaret, as the heir of France, favor a mere black iron adventurer?

"...Yes... Blaise looked embarrassed, he could only force himself to convince himself in his heart, maybe because His Highness really likes that Merlin, so staying will make His Highness feel at ease? It's just a psychological comfort.

"This time we have to rely on the assistance of outsiders to survive this crisis. If we fail, we can... choose to perish together and not let the bastard Meadows succeed easily." Margaret regarded the use of the Star Destroyer as a As a last resort, even if it is to gamble the entire empire, it will not be cheap for the blood of Midas.

"...Middles felt a lot of pressure when he heard Margaret's stern tone, "Your Highness, is the situation this time already so bad?

"That's right, among the three knights, Robert and Bartiroka have already died in the line of duty. The Balrog who lost its host may dissipate at any time. The twelve legendary magic cannons are in cooling and cannot be used. What do you think we have left? No Relying on the help of external forces, we can only choose to use our last hole cards to perish together." Margaret looked worried. After the Beelzebub attack, most of the empire's combat power was lost, and it fell into a passive state.

"Okay...it's true...Blize lowered his head, and had to admit that the current empire was seriously calculated by Meadows.

"So we need to fight for any power we can use now. Those people in the mansion are all powerful people above the holy rank, which is very important to us." Margaret picked up the quill again and started busy with green work.

Then... Blaise raised his head, and suddenly remembered something, "Didn't His Excellency Clardy give us a treasure? It said that it can seal any resurrection and regeneration ability, so Midas must be afraid, right?"

"...Margaret suddenly stopped writing, raised her head, her eyes dodged in embarrassment, "The treasure called the Sealed God Stone...has been stolen...

Blaise's expression was blank for three seconds, and then he became terrified, "Huh?

"Shh!" Margaret quickly put her finger to her lips, motioning for Blaize to silence, "Hush, don't shout.

"...was stolen by someone?! What should we do? Then... His Excellency Clardy lent it to us, how can we explain to him?" Blaize felt that something was wrong, no wonder Margaret So nervous recently, the treasure that was most likely to come back has been stolen.

"Blaze, calm down. The matter has already happened. It's too late to say anything now. As for how to explain to Lord Clardy? Margaret thought for a while and whispered, "I can only try to hold him steady, don't let him He knows about it.

"But...Your Excellency Clardy cherishes this treasure called the God-Conferred Stone very much. I'm afraid it won't be long before we hide it?" Blaize said hesitantly.

"Hide it for as long as you can. If you really can't hide it, I will use a suitable reason to let His Excellency Clardy accept it." Margaret said seriously.

Seeing Margaret, Blaise had already made up his mind, so he stopped talking, "Okay, but who stole it? The servants" No, I have carefully questioned all the servants and the guards guarding the palace. , None of them did it, but I heard from the guards that there was a strange face wandering around in the palace before, I guess it should be a thief who sneaked in during the chaotic period of the empire... Margaret showed annoyed eyes.

"Thiefs?!" Blaise said with wide-eyed eyes and clenched fists, "Your Highness, please order to hunt down the thieves in the empire, and we must find His Excellency Clardy's treasures!

"I know what to do, but Midas should be dealt with first, right?" Margaret paused for a moment, and reminded her, don't let His Excellency Clardy know about the loss of the Apotheosis Stone. '

In the mansion, Alice did not fall asleep, but walked out of the room alone, looking at the dark sky.

The moonlight is cold, and because the huge celestial body blocks the sun, it is much brighter at night than during the day.

Alice couldn't fall asleep, and she was still thinking about what happened today. She always felt that there were a lot of weird things in it. Who was the enemy that appeared in the alley during the day? .

book SFA

Why does the move look so similar to Joan of Arc?

Could it be that the Holy See really instructed Joan of Arc to attack Merlin?

SF Light Novel

Although Alice has left the Holy See a long time ago, she was quite comfortable during her time as a brave man. She has met many good-hearted priests, so Alice instinctively does not want to believe that the Holy See will use dirty means such as assassination to achieve its goals. There is still a lot of confusion.

"Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Merlin suddenly appeared and came to Alice's side.
