The Unemployed Demon Lord

As expected of a devil, he has reached a certain level of unfeeling.

no!I can't make this guy comfortable, I have to grab the territory too!

Alice finally found an excuse for herself, climbed onto Merlin's bed with the pillow in her arms, and drew a line between the two with the rapier.

Finally, Alice lay down a little relieved, turned her back to Merlin, and put on an attitude of wanting to fight to the end.

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to sleep on the floor?" Merlin glanced at Alice next to him, thinking that this guy's body was much more honest than his mouth.

"I just don't like seeing you happy, how about robbing your territory? As a brave man, it's my job to suppress demons, hum~!" Alice responded angrily, convincing with reason and evidence.

Merlin didn't speak, thinking that this guy's excuses seem to be lame, so why can't he have a snack?

"I warn you! Don't come over my sword, or I will fight you hard!" Alice warned.

whispering sound!You treat me as a rarity and pass by?Meilin curled his lips, becoming more and more disdainful towards a sensitive guy like Alice.

"That's good, don't break your promise, or your only remaining credit will be gone with me." Alice said a harsh word, and then went to sleep in peace. She had nothing to say all night, and the next day...

The two were still lying on the bed. Although Alice slept soundly, Merlin stayed up all night.

Because Alice has just improved her strength, her body is still a little uncomfortable, so she sleeps very dishonestly.

I kept moving around all night, making Merlin unable to sleep, and punching Merlin from time to time. I don’t know if it was intentional. At this time, Alice’s sleeping position was very awkward, turning her head 180° , lying on all fours, stepped on Merlin's face and congratulated Alice for fulfilling her dream in her sleep. It was really a gratifying thing.

Merlin's face was deformed by Alice's feet, and he squinted at this hateful woman.

Merlin found that Alice was sleeping soundly, probably because she was too tired to practice, and she would scratch her stomach from time to time, just like a female man!It's good not to cross the line!

Didn't he unilaterally break the agreement? ?

When you fall asleep, you become a completely different person!

I mean, I never noticed it before...

The sleeping position of this smelly woman is so ugly.

Chapter 40: Attack on the Ball

A few days later

Merlin came to Baron Barton's mansion, wanting to ask if this guy came back?

But this time it was no longer Steve the steward who received Merlin, but a high-level head guard.

The head of the guard looked almost 40 years old, with a slightly scruffy beard, but his eyes were piercing.

After he looked at Merlin carefully, he didn't pay much attention to the black iron adventurer.

"Do you have any business?

"I want to ask if Baron Barton is back, I have something to see him." Merlin said straight to the point.

The head of the guard looked at Merlin with obvious disdain, and continued, "The Lord Baron just came back, but it's not just anyone who wants to see him.

"I was introduced by the Earl of Austin. I have something important to do. Not long ago, I delivered the letter of recommendation to the housekeeper, so could you please inform me?" Merlin said politely.

The captain of the guard sighed, obviously a little impatient, but he still planned to go back and ask, "You wait here, I will go back and prove that Merlin is helpless, thinking that I am not a bad person, why should I be so guarded against myself?

In fact, the baron's mansion was not very strict in the past, but after Baron Barton knew that the treasure map he was injured was a treasure, he became cautious, always worried that he would be targeted by threats, and he would die if it wasn't for Steve's propaganda everywhere I am afraid that Baron Barton has already thrown this thing away as waste paper. Merlin waited patiently at the door for a while. Are you going to lie?! Mr. Steve has never received any recommendation letters at all, what are you trying to deceive me?!"

"Ah?! Didn't you receive the recommendation letter?" Merlin frowned, and retorted, "Impossible! I handed it to your housekeeper, how could you not receive it?

"Mr. Steve's own words can be false?" The chief guard looked at Merlin coldly, and said lightly, "I advise you to put away your small thoughts and don't do bad things. Now everyone knows that the Baron has Baobao, I have seen too many despicable guys like you who want to take advantage of the loopholes, so get out of here quickly, or I will not be polite."

"What are you talking about? I just want to see Baron Button. If it's not possible, let me meet Mr. Steve for an interview. Maybe there is a misunderstanding here." Merlin tried his best to suppress his temper.

"It was Mr. Steve who asked me to blow you away. It must be because your identity is too suspicious!" The captain of the guard held the sword at his waist, thinking that it would be no problem for him to deal with a black iron adventurer, "I will warn you in the end Once again, go away!

Merlin narrowed his eyes, feeling a little annoyed, and subtly touched the hilt of the sword with his hand.

But after thinking about it for a while, I let it go, thinking that things might become troublesome if I do it now.

If Barton is a miser, instead of getting the treasure map, he will mess up the mission.

So Merlin decided to go back and discuss it with Alice before making a decision.

However, Merlin hadn't gone far when he heard the captain of the guard not far behind him yelling at his subordinates: "What are you doing here in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and prepare the most gorgeous carriage!?"

"My lord baron is about to go to Cathy Castle to attend the ball, which is a very high-end entertainment place, only the gentry and nobles are allowed to enter.

"You are only able to enter this time because of the honor of the baron, cheer me up, don't go out and embarrass the baron!

"That's the way it is...

Merlin went back to find Alice, told her the whole story, and let her understand the current situation.

"What did you say?!" Alice frowned, "That butler refused our request to meet, and still didn't admit that he had received our recommendation letter?!"

"Yeah." Merlin nodded, seeing people coming and going, motioned to Alice, "Keep your voice down, don't be so loud, okay? I'm afraid others won't know?

Alice became dissatisfied and couldn't help complaining, 'Why is that person like this?What is it for?We don't have any deep hatred with him, so why should he do anything bad to us? "

"Ghost knows?" Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, "Maybe we did something wrong?"

"...Alice lowered her head, thought carefully, and asked Merlin tentatively, "Do you think the person who came to assassinate us a few days ago has something to do with this housekeeper?" "

"I don't know, but I can't deny the possibility." Merlin said that it was difficult for him to say for sure.

"This is strange." Why do you have trouble with us?The butler probably also coveted the treasure map of the blood race ruins. Alice speculated in her heart.

"It's possible. We need to act quickly. The sooner we meet Baron Barton, the better. So we will also go to this ball, saying that we can't talk about the treasure map face-to-face with Baron Barton at the ball." Merlin nodded.

Alice looked at the brightly lit castle in front of her, and muttered to herself, "This..."...

At this time, the two had already arrived at "Cathy's Castle in Galway City, and were in front of the gate, preparing to participate in the dance.

Cathy Castle is located in the center of the entire Galway City. Although the area is not too large, its elegant style eclipses all the surrounding buildings.

It looks very magnificent from the outside. Compared with the luxury hotels in the imperial capital, it is not too much, and it seems to be a little more gorgeous.

Outside the large gate, there are two rows of well-dressed waiters, who seem to have undergone special training, with polite and humble smiles on their faces.

A carriage stopped in front of Cathy Castle, and the waiter hurried up to open the door, leading the distinguished guests into the castle.

The guests who came tonight were all big names in the upper class of Galway City. The men were well-dressed and behaved like gentlemen, and they all had their female companions by their side.

From the attire of the ladies at the prom, it was clear that tonight was a formal misunderstanding, because they wore custom-made tutu skirts and wanted to stretch their waists as thin as a bamboo pole, trying to attract the outstanding men of the prom.

However, Merlin doesn't like the morbid aesthetics of this world, especially the thick white foundation on the girls' faces, which look like ghosts in the dark: "How do you think this is a ball for nobles? We don't even have the qualifications to go in... "Although Alice couldn't bear to discourage Merlin's enthusiasm, she still couldn't help but tell the truth.

"Don't worry, as long as we're lucky, we can sneak in." Merlin responded confidently, then looked at Alice next to him and said seriously: "The situation is critical now, we must see Baron Barton.

"Don't forget that besides us, there are other people who are thinking about the treasure map on the baron...

Chapter 41: Identification

Alice thought about it, and felt that it was true. Now is not the time to hesitate, after all, there is another force staring at Baotu.

If you hesitate in this situation where every second counts, maybe there will be big problems.

After Alice figured it out, she nodded to Merlin.

"Let's go, if it doesn't work, we can think of other ways, anyway, we must see Baron Barton tonight.

The two came to the gate of Cathy Castle. At first, they wanted to pretend to be fake, and followed a few nobles to get in.

However, the outfits of Merlin and Alice were rather ordinary, and it was obvious that they were not here to attend the ball.

Other people around came in gorgeous and coquettish evening gowns, and the casual clothes of Merlin and Alice were particularly eye-catching among them.

As a result, the two people's strategy of fishing in troubled waters was declared a failure as soon as they came up, and they were immediately stopped by several waiters, and they didn't want suspicious people to enter the ball at all.

A leader who looked like a waiter walked up to Merlin and Alice, and he looked at the two of them for a while before saying.

"My lords, what are you doing here?"

Alice saw that it was not that easy to get in, so she pulled Lamerlin's sleeve and said, "Look, I'm sure I was stopped, so I said there is a threshold for this dance, right?

"Don't panic, now is not the time to mess around." Merlin lowered his voice to respond, and then turned to the waiter leader and said calmly, "Is there any need to ask? Of course we are here to attend the dance?"

"Do you two have invitations?" The waiter leader asked patiently. Although the two people in front of him didn't seem like they were here for a dance, if they had invitations, they couldn't be neglected.

"Can't I enter without an invitation? I'm going to this kind of event, wouldn't the more people there be, the better?" Merlin argued, trying to thicken his skin and sneak in.

As soon as this remark came out, the nobles nearby immediately burst into laughter. The pale-faced ladies covered their faces with fans, and the branches of laughter trembled wildly.

In the eyes of the nobles, Merlin's speech was simply ridiculous. Except for the country bumpkins from small places, who would say that this kind of outdated ball? Gatherings have extremely obvious class thresholds.

Even if you are a Zijin adventurer, these rigid nobles will not recognize you as one of them, wisdom thinks you are just a warrior.

Gatherings in such a refined and small circle are extremely repulsive to people with insufficient class levels. Wouldn't it be humiliating for third-rate adventurers to enter casually?

The waiter leader smiled awkwardly. Considering his image, he didn't say anything harsh, but he already agreed that Merlin and Alice were here to make trouble.

Alice couldn't help but pulled Lamerlin's sleeve from behind, and said in a low voice, "Let's see, I said this dance is not easy, let's think of another way?

Merlin didn't respond, and he began to hesitate in his heart, and he had already started to use other crooked brains, wondering if he should knock out a few waiters and pretend that they were sneaking in?

The Trail of oBSE

"Sir, it seems that you haven't figured out what kind of party this is..." The leader of the waiters paused, looked at Merlin and said, "This ball is organized by our Rothschild family, and it is an exchange for the dignitaries of Galway City. The ball, so the identities of the two of you are not enough to meet the qualification threshold, and we didn't send you invitations at all, so unfortunately, you don't have the right to enter.

Alice gasped when she heard that this place was opened by the Rothschild family. In retrospect, isn't this the wealthy businessman's family that is invincibly wealthy?It is said that he is so rich that he regards money as dung.

It seems that there is no chance this time, so I can only think of other ways.

So Alice organized the words in her mind and told Merlin.

"Merlin, forget it, let's think of another way? This is the territory of the Rothschild family, try not to cause any trouble" and so on. "
