The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Ah? What rules? Isn't he supposed to assist us?" Alice asked as it should.

"This is just what we take for granted. This Baron Barton is a money fanatic. He doesn't talk about any conditions at all. If you want the Blood Treasure Map, you can obediently take out 2000 million gold coins, and nothing less will do." Merlin's tone Full of helplessness, it is unlucky to meet such a money-obsessed guy, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this, even if we contact Earl Austin by letter, it seems that it will take more than half a month for him to mediate in person. How can we get that treasure map? You don’t really plan to buy it with 2000 million gold, do you?” Alice asked Merlin worriedly.

"We're not fools. Whoever pays for such an obvious act of taking advantage of the fire will be wise." Merlin quickly dismissed Alice's thoughts, thinking that even if he sold himself, he wouldn't be able to get tens of millions of gold coins!

"Then what should we do? How about...Alice lowered her head, her expression became hesitant, "Should we find a way to steal it out?" Merlin looked at Alice in surprise, and said jokingly, "Master Brave also Are you going to solve it by stealing? It’s really advancing with the times~

"..." Alice blushed, and excused herself solemnly, "Isn't it an extraordinary time to do extraordinary things? Besides, we just want to see the information on the treasure map, and it's not like we stole it and don't return it."

"You have now learned to hide your ugliness with hypocrisy. Congratulations, Alice, you have evolved." Merlin said meaningfully.

"GUN!" Alice scolded angrily, thinking that Merlin was the real villain with a belly full of evil, what is this?

Cough cough, it's not that I haven't thought about stealing it, but do you know where Baron Barton hid the treasure map?It's too much energy wasted to keep trying. " Merlin asked Alice back.

"Then what should I do?" Alice was a little discouraged. She thought everything would go well, but she didn't expect to be in trouble.

"Don't be so hard-headed. Since Baron Barton is unreasonable, then we will deal with him in an unreasonable way." Merlin clenched his fists in front of Alice, the implication was obvious.

"Isn't it good to use force?" Alice hesitated, not agreeing with Merlin's approach.

"I didn't say to use force, it's just an appropriate threat. Good and evil are mixed here. Let's be patient first. When Baron Barton has no one around, we will ask him to obediently offer up the hidden treasure map with both hands." Merlin has already decided to accept it. What should I do next, just lack of an opportunity.

"This one

Alice and Merlin have completely different ideas, which often lead to many differences.

Merlin is used to doing bad things, using some relatively bad means, without any sense of guilt at all.

Kalisi is different, she has a feeling of living in the sun, as a former hero, she is naturally a very decent person.

For some bad ideas of Merlin, Alice still resisted in her heart, and didn't want to be with him.

But now the situation is a bit special, facing the unreasonable Baron Barton, maybe Merlin's method is more effective.

Alice took a deep breath, and decided to turn a blind eye and close one eye, as if she didn't know at all.

"Okay, but don't go too far, it won't end there...

"Don't worry, I know." Merlin patted his chest, wondering if it would be effective to deal with this miser without going too far?

"Please, sir and madam." The waiter brought a plate of dry layer cream cake to Merlin and Alice.

"As expected of the nobles' misunderstanding, even the desserts are made like the ones in the real world." Merlin said, looking at the cake in front of him.

"The real world?...meaning?" Alice asked suspiciously. h yuan "Uh, nothing, haha.

Merlin smiled dryly to cover it up, picked up the fork and found that it was golden, and the color didn't seem to be as simple as a layer of gold plating.

Let me go, the Rothschilds won't be so rich, will they?Even the tableware of a local dance is made of gold? !

Retaining a skeptical attitude, Merlin gritted his teeth, then widened his eyes with an incredulous expression.

"Ho... is it really made of gold?!"

"What's the fuss about this? The Rothschild family seems to be the richest man, and the pure gold tableware is not surprising, is it?" Alice said blankly, looking at Merlin as if he had come out of a refugee camp. Seen like gold.

"That's right, there's nothing to make a fuss about... Merlin lifted his trouser legs, bent the pure gold tableware, handcuffed it directly to his lap, and prepared to take it away without anyone noticing it.

"Hey!" Alice felt embarrassed when she saw Merlin's actions, and her whole body seemed to be struck by lightning: "Do you want to do this!?"

"Is the skin so thick already!?"

"This kind of cheap is greedy, you can't be the reincarnation of a poor ghost!?"

Mountain (A°u)!

Chapter 48: The Polar Princess

"Tsk!" Merlin was dumbfounded and emphasized, "I'm not the reincarnation of a poor ghost. This is just a reasonable use of resources. Isn't it a pity that gold is used as a tableware as a valuable thing? I think it is more reasonable to replace it with other resources. "

"Obviously the gold belongs to other people!" Alice didn't listen to Merlin's forced explanation at all, thinking that this guy was just putting on a reasonable coat for his despicable behavior.

"Isn't it just a golden fork? What's the fuss?" Merlin leaned on the sofa and said casually, "As a diamond VIP, I have invested so much money. Is the little interest too much?"

"That was originally my money? No, it's the property of the Holy See. It has nothing to do with you!" Alice became more and more dissatisfied seeing Merlin's thick-skinned appearance.

"Why doesn't it matter? The Holy See organizes troops to attack my territory from time to time, causing many demons to die in battle. It's only natural for me to rob the Holy See's wealth." Merlin replied confidently.

"This..." Alice was at a loss for words by Merlin. After thinking about it, it made some sense, but the demons killed quite a few Holy See knights...

Just when Alice was about to refute Merlin, the classic and elegant tune began to play.

The melodious piano sound is melodious, instantly quieting the chaotic dance party, and getting to the point.

The pianist is wearing a gown and white gloves, flying his fingers in front of the piano, as if playing a prelude.

As the most prestigious and powerful person in Galway City, Baron Barton naturally took the partner who had just chatted with him to the center of the dance floor.

Baron Barton first nodded and smiled at the guests, and then stopped his partner's waist and began to dance lightly.

Then men and women appeared in pairs, entered the dance floor, and naturally began a very traditional waltz

Merlin sat on the sofa and looked at it for a while, glanced at Alice next to him, and stretched out his hand, "Miss Alice, can I ask you to dance?"

Alice looked at Merlin's paw, and said with a slightly disappointed expression, "Can't you be more formal? Anyway, you should stand up and invite me, right? How could I agree to something so casual?"

"Alright then." Merlin nodded, then stood up and looked around, "Then I have to find someone else."

"Wait!" Alice reached out and grabbed the hem of Merlin's tuxedo, preventing him from leaving. "I'm just complaining that you want to find another dance partner?"

"Didn't you disagree?" Merlin frowned, unable to understand this guy's abnormal words and deeds.

"I... I don't agree with it!" Alice said angrily, complaining that Merlin is such an impatient guy. After getting familiar with it, she felt that there was an extremely hollow soul under this skin.

"Tch..." Merlin curled his lips, and stretched out his hand again, wondering what age it is, and thinking that everyone has the patience to look at the thatched cottage three times?

"Since you invited me so sincerely, then I will reluctantly dance with you." Alice blushed, and put her hand on Merlin's, with a clear expression of reluctance.

Merlin laughed heartily, and complained helplessly in his heart

This stinky bitch...

Do you just like to play the game of honesty?

◇

Accompanied by the beat of the piano, the two entered the dance floor and danced like everyone else.

Originally, this kind of dance similar to ballroom dancing would be covered with a layer of ambiguity, but it became more and more intense on this occasion.

It's no wonder that lovers often appear between noble couples. They participate in such activities every day, and it seems that it is not a big surprise that they betray each other.

Merlin held Alice's hand, and the other hand was holding her waist, dancing to the slow-paced music.

Alice also put her hand on Merlin's, and supported his shoulders to maintain balance.

The two clasped their fingers tightly. Although it was their first dance, the cooperation seemed to be tacit.

Those who didn't know thought that the two of them must often dance together, otherwise this outrageous level of tacit understanding really couldn't be explained clearly.

"I thought it was your first time dancing, but I didn't expect you to be quite proficient?" Merlin teased in a low voice.

In fact, when Merlin just left the Death Swamp, he didn't know how to dance this kind of dance in the human aristocratic circle, and the demons didn't have time to pass the time by doing this kind of behavior.

Therefore, even if Merlin is a time traveler, he has never learned it at all. The easiest way to hook up with the opposite sex in the Demon Race is often to rely on violent conquest.

However, when he was a waiter in Manchester, Merlin had already learned a lot from those ladies, and he could be considered a veteran at the ball, learning quickly.

Merlin thought of Alice saying that she could dance in the aristocratic circle all the time in the Snow Mountain?This is very strange, who did you learn from?

"Who is the first time? I learned it when I was very young, don't look down on people suddenly..." Alice frowned, feeling dissatisfied.

"Who taught you?" Merlin asked curiously.

"My teacher..." Alice replied honestly.

"Didn't you say that your teacher is a practitioner who has been living in Daxue Mountain? How could he know the unique dance steps of the court? Could it be that he came from a noble circle of a certain human empire?" Merlin became more and more confused.

"This..." Alice recalled that life in college was a bit difficult, and it was hard to imagine that the teacher was a member of the upper class before, "Impossible? But the teacher has always been knowledgeable, isn't it just a dance? For her It's not a difficult thing."

Merlin didn't delve into it, and believed Alice's words for the time being. Seeing that her dancing posture is actually very standard, presumably that teacher should have learned it formally.

However, Merlin was not very interested in Alice's teacher. Instead, his eyes moved down, and he lost his affection for Alice's chest, showing a smile inexplicably.

"You... where are you looking? You're smiling so nastyly, you disgusting guy!" Alice could easily catch Merlin's every move at such a close distance, and when she saw him smiling, she immediately blushed and scolded, I thought to myself that this daring guy, with so many people around him, has such dishonest eyes.

"Wait, don't get me wrong, I just think your breasts are abnormal tonight, they are much bigger than before, are there a few extra cushions?" Merlin raised his head and asked.

"Do you still care about how many cushions I put in?! This is my freedom!" Alice retorted confidently.

"I didn't turn it off, I just feel that you are working hard, won't you feel chest tightness after stuffing so many cushions?" Merlin showed a playful look, wondering how much Alice was looking forward to the prom?

"You!" Alice wanted to leave Merlin very much, but it seemed too much to leave him, so she could only stomp on Merlin's foot with her high heels angrily, "You, talk, can, really, much, ah..."

"Hiss~" Merlin's smile froze on his face, and he said bluntly, "When you dance, you step on people at every turn, you are not ladylike enough."

"You don't need to be a lady for a guy like you, hum~!" Alice snorted coldly, feeling that Merlin didn't behave like a gentleman, so he deserved to be treated like this.

The unreasonable and awkward dancing posture of the two naturally attracted the attention of others and attracted many questioning eyes.

This is a ball for a small circle of nobles, not a torch dance for serfs, so it's really rude to make trouble here.

A bead of sweat dripped down on Merlin's forehead, and he decided to calm Alice's mood and said, "Well... Although the chest is padded, it still looks pretty good."

"Huh?" Alice raised her head in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Is it true?"

"Yeah, for example, your princess dress tonight, actually... quite suitable for you, as cold as the distant polar region, if I hadn't known you for a long time, I think you may be Your Royal Highness Princess from the polar country... ..." Merlin would never say nasty things to Alice, but when he really said it, he was unequivocal.

"Is...is it..." Alice lowered her blushing face shyly, and her dancing posture became a little stiff, as if she had been affected a lot

"Just... even if you praise me, I won't be happy..."

? (????ω????)?

Chapter 49: Blocking

When Merlin saw Alice's reaction, he finally became much quieter, so he felt a little relieved.
