The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Who did this?" Alice asked subconsciously.

"I don't know, the action is too fast, the dance is not long after that." Merlin frowned.

"Could it be the same group of people?" Alice looked at Merlin, with a premonition in her heart, these things should be connected together, there is no coincidence at all.

"what do you mean…

Merlin touched his chin, wondering if Alice already had the answer?

"The two people who came to assassinate us that night, will they always be thinking about the treasure map of the blood race ruins, so they chose to start today... Alice said seriously.

Merlin pondered for a moment, and felt that this possibility was not impossible, "Maybe it was really caused by a group of painful people.

"Tsk!" Alice felt a little annoyed, looking at the image of Baron Barton's tragic death on the ground, feeling a little annoyed. "So... are we one step slower than the enemy? Who are they? Why are they so obsessed with the remains of the blood race? They don't hesitate to take humanity...

"Alice, don't think too much. Treasures are inherently full of infinite attraction. He will make people crazy, and countless people will follow. Even if they do some extreme things, I think it's normal." Merlin responded lightly.

... Alice lowered her head and said nothing, obviously in a bad mood. Now that all the clues have been cut off, she feels that she has been busy in vain recently. So you want a treasure map? Wouldn’t it be better to sneak into the baron’s mansion and steal it? Why did you come to the ball to kill him?” SI 6

Merlin frowned, and uttered a series of questions of his own, feeling that the things in front of him were a bit abnormal.

Baron Barton once said that the treasure map was not on his body, but even so, he also suffered a personal disaster. Could it be...

Flies don't bite seamless eggs, why did the bad guys come to the ball to plot against Baron Barton?

This guy wouldn't have lied to me from the very beginning, that treasure map was not at home, but on himself!

If this is the case, then everything makes sense. Why did the enemy come to the ball to kill Baron Barton?

I'm afraid it wasn't because someone else revealed the fact that the Baron had hidden the treasure map, which made the enemy's news so accurate.

Merlin recalled: the amiable look of Steve, the original butler, flashed through his mind, and he always felt that something was not quite right, "Alice, we... seem to have been cheated

"What do you mean?" Alice asked in a low voice.

"The butler we met at the beginning may have colluded with the gang that assassinated us." Merlin whispered to Alice, sharing his thoughts with her.

"You can't talk nonsense, do you have evidence?" Alice was a little suspicious in her heart, and she didn't believe Merlin's words.

"Evidence is still needed? We have no grievances with that housekeeper. Why is he plotting against us secretly? Isn't this unreasonable?" Merlin said seriously.

Alice calmed down. Thinking about it, it was not impossible. That letter of introduction could easily get the treasure map of the blood clan relic, after all, it was Guaranteed by Earl Austin.

Now that the housekeeper, Mr. Steve, turned his face and refused to admit it, Merlin and Alice couldn't prove their identities quickly, so it would be more difficult to obtain the treasure map.

Who is the beneficiary of all this?Presumably, apart from the two people who came to assassinate that night, there is no second answer at all.

"And this Baron Barton also said... Merlin looked at the corpse on the ground expressionlessly, and said in a low voice, "The treasure map of the blood race relic was on him just now, and it is not in the baron's mansion at all. The disaster of killing one's life.

"Why do those bad guys know that the treasure map is on the baron? Instead of hiding it somewhere else?" Alice asked her own question.

"That's what I can't figure out, but I suspect that there is definitely something wrong with that housekeeper." Merlin looked at Alice and lowered his voice and said, "You also feel something is wrong now? You know the baron's whereabouts and some secrets so well. It doesn't make sense that this matter is not collusion among the people in the baron's mansion, the most suspect is the housekeeper who played tricks on us, that Mr. Steve."

Alice suddenly realized that the most powerful person in the Baron's Mansion was a high-ranking captain of the guard, who could have two holy rank experts. The people who assassinated that night were obviously not from the Baron's Mansion, but they clearly understood Baron Barton's identity. Secret, then the statement that the Baron's Mansion colluded with mysterious forces is very credible.

I didn't expect that a simple task of borrowing a treasure map would reveal so many complicated relationships and some mysterious forces, which made Alice feel quite a headache.

Alice wanted to discuss with Merlin whether to question Steve, the butler of the Baron's Mansion, but when she looked down, she saw him pushing to the front and touching Baron Barton's body, as if searching for something.This rude behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of some onlookers, and whispers came intermittently for a while, thinking that these two foreigners were blaspheming people's souls—Alice felt the pressure of public opinion and couldn't help walking Before stopping, Merlin whispered, "Hey! What are you doing? It's sacrilegious to play with corpses as before. Just leave this kind of matter to the church and the guards of Galway City."

"I'm looking for a treasure map. What if Baron Barton hid it so deep that those two bastards didn't find it? Isn't this our chance?" Merlin responded solemnly.

"...Alice was at a loss for words. Hearing the thoughts of people around her, she had to bear it down. Baotu is the key clue for the next step. She couldn't give up even the slightest chance.

However, just as Merlin tore open the blood-stained chest of Baron Barton, he suddenly felt something, and suddenly raised his head to look north.

At the same moment, Alice and Merlin had the same reaction, they both raised their heads and looked at the peaceful starry sky in the north through the glass, but her expression was more tense and astonished

Merlin frowned, and put down Baron Barton's skirt, feeling that something was wrong with the sky outside, it was clearly late at night, but it gradually became brighter: "Is there something coming over?

"And it's fast.

"This destructive coercion..."

"Do you want to destroy the entire city of Galway?"

Chapter 55: Unstoppable

"What? Why is there such a degree of coercion?" Alice muttered to herself nervously, feeling the powerful coercion approaching at an extremely fast speed, and a layer of cold sweat could not help oozing from her forehead.

"I don't know... Merlin frowned tightly, feeling some ominous omen in his heart, "It feels like a powerful magic is approaching...

The nobles around were puzzled by the reactions of Merlin and Alice. These ordinary people had no idea that the danger was approaching, and they were still in a state of ignorance.

It seems that if they can't see the danger approaching with their own eyes, ordinary people's vigilance is completely unaware that their death is imminent.

The two raised their heads and looked at the scenery outside through the window at the back. They always felt that the quiet night was becoming more and more turbulent, and it was getting brighter and brighter. Alice carefully explored this powerful coercion, secretly screaming inwardly. Wonderful, I feel that if the current situation is not handled well, the entire Galway City may be turned into ruins, and Cathy Castle is the first dangerous place among them!

So Alice didn't think for long, and took the lead in putting the protection of Galway City first, and planned to go out to organize the sudden crisis!

Alice lifted her skirt, smashed the window glass in front of her, and jumped outside without looking back?

'Hey!Alice! "Merlin originally wanted to tell Alice to calm down and figure out the situation first, but he didn't expect this woman to be so impulsive, she rushed out without even thinking about it.

This troublesome move made Merlin wonder in his heart, are all braves like Alice?Do you often not consider your own safety in order to protect yourself?

Merlin shook his head helplessly, intending to follow up, but a sudden change happened, which made him lose his mind for a moment, and there was a sudden explosion!The entire Castle of Cathy rumbled and trembled. It seemed that at this critical moment, there was a big explosion downstairs! ?

Merlin turned his head to look at the stairs and said, a tongue of flame rushed up from below, the ferocious flame almost swallowed the surrounding nobles, just a little bit!

It seems that the power of three barrels of gunpowder is not enough to blow up Cathy Castle, otherwise many people would die without knowing it in the first moment of the explosion.

The flames finally receded, and thick black streams flowed from the ground and ceiling. The entire staircase was blown and collapsed. It can be seen that the downstairs has turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the screams of screams can be heard clearly.

This group of luminous nobles screamed and fainted from fright. The men could barely maintain consciousness, but looking at their pale faces and trembling legs, they were also so frightened that they lost their minds.

what happened again.

Why are things happening one after another all of a sudden! ?

Another dead person, another inexplicable explosion!

and many more!what does it smell likeThe sour and sour smell emanates from a dead fish...

Merlin rubbed his nose, took a sharp sniff, Duan Zai pondered for three seconds, and then his expression became astonished—the smell of magic particles?

Grinding with special spar, it can suppress magic power.

hateful!Were these all calculated early on! ?

Alice jumped out of the window of Cathy Castle, and heard a deafening explosion just as she landed!

The entire ground trembled slightly, and the walls of Cathy Castle were crumbling under the shock waves.

Alice looked back in shock, and saw that Kathy's Castle was burning with flames, thick black smoke rose into the sky, and the flames filled the floor!

She could see some figures outside. Many people were engulfed by the flames, struggling non-stop, and finally remained motionless. The painful screams made people very uncomfortable.

Alice was a little out of her wits, and it was obviously too late to save those people in the flames. Now that the huge coercion was approaching, a little delay would destroy the entire city of Galway.

Moreover, the explosion happened suddenly, and not many people could survive on the first floor of Cathy Castle. Compared with the safety of the entire city, Alice chose the majority without hesitation.

In Alice's heart, she can only hope that Merlin can help her to save the survivors, while she wants to stop the more dangerous existence. But just now, Alice has already inhaled the magic barrier particles in the air, but she herself Because I was too nervous, I didn't notice it at all.

Alice raised her head and looked at the northern sky, wanting to see what it was that could exude such a powerful coercion—in the thick night, how many heavy bird clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight.Gong Jyou saw that in the sky, the very obvious dark red became brighter and brighter, as if tearing a hole in the gloomy sky? !

Alice looked at the strange scene in front of her, and was a little surprised in her heart. What is it?

The blood red in the sky shrank suddenly, and a javelin with a black body and shining red lines struck!

Its speed is so fast that it is astonishing, it is as terrifying as a dark red comet falling from the sky, trying to destroy everything!

The charged javelin is followed by a long light tail X, which seems to be burning with a hot red flame.

If the coercion is not too strong, it is easy to be misunderstood as a shooting star across the night sky.

Alice's expression became serious, and she felt as if she was facing an enemy. Every cell in her body was calling the police, indicating that this thing was not ordinary, and if she didn't take it seriously, it might capsize the ship.

This seemingly ordinary javelin actually contains incomparably powerful power. Even Alice does not have full confidence to resist it. Started to tremble slightly.

A huge suppressive force made Alice's breathing short, and her heartbeat was fast.

Alice raised her hand, and the magic power and fighting spirit all over her body began to surge, Mo Wurong and skills were suddenly launched, and the cold air overflowed. Huge golden ice shields appeared out of thin air, one after another, blooming like dahlias!

In just a short moment, Alice created a three-layer large ice shield, hoping to resist the sudden javelin.

However, after casting the spell, Alice turned pale with fright, cold sweat ran down her forehead, and her heart was full of turmoil!

hell!what happened! ?

Why is it so hard to use all my magic powers! ?

It seems that there are fewer and fewer, as if they have received some kind of seal!

Obviously, with his magic power at the peak of the holy rank, he can know the seven-story ice shield!

But why is it so difficult to make three layers now, what is wrong with me! ?

Alice's eyes became blank, wondering what happened?My body is a bit unsatisfactory.

However, the ruthless javelins had already struck, and Alice was not given any chance to think.

Accompanied by a crimson spiral, the javelin crashed down with astonishing attack power!

These three layers of unstable large ice shields are directly penetrated by the javelin bang bang bang, which is as fragile as tofu dregs!

It seems that this javelin is really not for blowing, its power is terrifying, and Oswald, an archer, does have the capital to be proud of.

Even if Alice condenses a large seven-layer ice shield in its full power, it is still unknown whether it can be completely defended. This powerful armor-piercing function is too buggy!

The javelin was constantly rubbing against the air, and the body of the javelin was glowing red and melting, like wrought iron just taken out of the furnace!

The ear-piercing sound of shaking foreheads constantly tormented people's eardrums; as if eager to break free from the shackles, an invincible javelin immediately pierced Alice's fragile neck...

Chapter 56: Anti-Assassination

Alice took a step back in horror. She didn't expect that her fused ice crystals would be extremely fragile at this time, and all three layers of large ice shields were pierced continuously! ?

Seeing that the incomparably sharp javelin had already reached Alice, there would inevitably be a violent explosion and a tragic scene of flying flesh and blood.

At a critical moment, Merlin rushed out from Cathy's Castle, so fast that only a black afterimage could be seen.
