The Unemployed Demon Lord

"...Arrangement of luck?" Alice was stunned, then her face flushed, as if she had thought of something else, "...What nonsense...

"Now I feel that meeting you is not a bad thing, on the contrary, I am quite lucky... Merlin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with deep meaning.

"...Really? Do you really think so?" Alice's face flushed slightly, and her appearance became a little cautious, wondering if this bastard finally interested in me?

"I robbed your treasure. Thanks to you being a Holy Mother, if it were Joan of Arc, I'm afraid I would fight to the end. I will never be like you, willing to calm down and cooperate." Merlin said in an affirmative tone."Uh,..."... The blush on Alice's face gradually receded, isn't that what she wanted to hear?This is not what I imagined to say at all!

It was a lucky thing to meet me, so it was only because I didn't care about every detail! ?

I thought Merlin finally realized that I was a good girl! ?

The result hasn't changed at all, I'm really pissed off, I won't get him easily in the future!

Time 8, noon.

Old Acaron went out to collect information before dawn, and he was very motivated.

This is a good opportunity for him to do things by himself, so he is very excited.

As a result, old Acaron came back at noon, and it seemed that it was not as difficult as imagined.

At this time in Alice's room, several people gathered together

"Have you found out the reason for the missing persons?" Alice asked expressionlessly.

"Not yet." Old Akalon said awkwardly.

"Then you went out all morning, what did you gain?" Merlin asked anxiously, feeling that his expectations were about to be dashed again.

Chapter 0: SE This Novel

"Surrounded by several refugees, I didn't take off... old Akaron's shameful response.

Alice lowered her head and said to Merlin secretly, "Hey! Look, I told you not to leave this kind of thing to old Mr. Acaron, he won't understand.

There were black lines on Merlin's forehead, and he said helplessly, "But Mr. Acaron is a Frenchman after all, and he knows some things better than us.

Alice held her forehead, showing a distressed expression, "When is it, do you still trust him? We have been wandering aimlessly in France for too long.

Merlin was a little speechless, and he helped old Akalon say a lot of good things, but he didn't seem to be very up-to-date, and Alice couldn't hold back anymore.

"Stop whispering, both of you, I haven't finished yet." Seeing that the young couple had started a meeting again, old Akalon probably thought that he hadn't accomplished anything: "Although I didn't find out about the Avignon president. It is the reason why people frequently disappear.

"However, I have a newer major discovery

"Recently, among the refugees who entered Avignon for asylum, many of their daughters disappeared mysteriously.

Chapter 37: Alice Becomes the Bait

"Eh?" Alice was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Really?

"It's true, the families who took refuge in Avignon basically had daughters, and many women disappeared mysteriously during this period." Old Acaron added in order to dispel the doubts of Merlin and Alice. One sentence, "I didn't make these up, they were told to me by the refugees themselves.

"Since there is such a thing? If the daughter disappeared mysteriously, didn't the refugee parents look for it? Or Merlin felt a little weird when he responded to the local guards. With so many people missing, it should be a big mess. As a result, when I first came here, I didn't hear about such incidents at all. Instead, it was the old Acaron who went out to inquire about it.

"Why is there no response? Many of them stayed at the gate of the guard regiment, asking about this matter, but those guys were helpless refugees. Even if they reported it to the local guards, there was no answer at all. Ah Vignon's guards acted as if they hadn't heard, and even arrested a few people who reacted violently and locked them up, as if they were trying to suppress this incident... Old Acaron spread his hands, showing an incomprehensible expression.

"Hiss~" Merlin gasped, rubbed his chin and thought suspiciously, is this really weird?Someone disappeared mysteriously, and the local guards ignored it?Isn't the duty of the guards to maintain the safety of the residents?So "Damn! It's unreasonable! So many people are missing, why should the guards ignore it!?" Alice angrily beat the case, seeing the oppression and injustice.

"Maybe... it's because they don't want to meddle in other people's business, right? There are vegetarians everywhere... Old Akaron thought about it.

"Old Mr. Acaron, didn't you say that the lord of Avignon is a shrewd and good at managing people? Couldn't she see so many people protesting at the guard regiment?" Alice asked her own question, feeling as It would be a bit dereliction of duty for the manager not to be well aware of the local situation. Besides, the lord Camilla here is still praised as an excellent ruler, so it is strange to turn a blind eye to the missing persons.

"The poor are not allowed to enter the area of ​​the Earl's Mansion. Maybe Earl Camilla doesn't know about it at all?" Old Acaron speculated that after all, the Countess seemed to seldom go out and walk around, so she couldn't experience the life at the bottom.

Merlin frowned, feeling more and more a strong sense of disobedience. This seemingly prosperous city of Avignon seems to have some ulterior secrets.

"Since the local guards don't care, we will! We must catch that human trafficker!" Alice said impassionedly.

A bead of sweat dripped down on Merlin's forehead, and he thought that it happened again, did this woman forget that the most important thing is to investigate the blood clan?

"Miss Alice is right. We adventurers must also uphold the spirit of doing what is right. We should take care of this matter! Old Akalon's middle school soul has started to burn again.

"Wait, you two calm down, okay? Our fundamental purpose is to investigate the whereabouts of the blood race, so we're not here to meddle in other people's business, okay?" Merlin couldn't help it anymore, and emphasized the goal this time.

"Your Excellency Merlin, the recent disappearance of girls in Avignon may also be related to past disappearances. What if they were sold to vampires as food? So there is still value for investigation." Old Acaron was very serious. said.

"That's right, Merlin, you need to know how to be flexible. The population is also mysteriously missing. Maybe it's the blood race that is acting in secret? Now we just happened to bump into it. This is a rare opportunity." Alice agreed with old Caron's words for the first time. Opinion.

"You..." Merlin looked at Alice, then at old Akaron, spread his hands and said, "Hehe, what else can I say? Whatever you say is fine...

Merlin had already given up his resistance. It was obvious that Alice had the same concept as Old Acaron, and he himself was simply an outlier.

No matter what Merlin said now, it was always in a 2v1 state, and it was difficult to change the thinking of Alice and old Acaron.

"But where should we find the group of traffickers? Does Mr. Acaron have any clues?" Alice tentatively asked, not knowing anything about the traffickers yet.

"Of course I have inquired about this. Based on the remarks of several refugee families, I found that the group of missing women were all young and pure." Old Akaron said very seriously.

"Young and pure?" Alice looked thoughtful, thinking that this commonality is really strange?

Merlin raised his eyebrows, and looked at Alice inexplicably, as if he had some idea?

"...What do you think I am doing?" Alice felt uncomfortable being stared at by Merlin.

"Alice, are you a virgin?" Merlin asked a very embarrassing question abruptly.

"Ah!?" Alice was startled suddenly, her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she said in a panic, "...ask...why ask this!?...I, I...I am not...a virgin, and... What does it matter to you!"

"Looking at the reaction, it must be 'ah... Merlin smiled meaningfully, looking very embarrassed.

...What's that look on your face? !Do not laugh!Be careful I will kill you! "Alice waved her small fist a few times in a brazen manner, which had no deterrent effect at all. Merlin suddenly asked such a question, which made her feel embarrassed, and wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"I don't mean anything else, I just thought of a way to let a pure woman go out at night, maybe the traffickers can come to the door by themselves.

"That's right, Miss Alice is perfect for young and pure women, isn't this the first choice for traffickers!

Merlin and old Akalon looked at the lonely Alice at the same time, and both of them showed approval on their expressions, as if they wanted to sell their teammates?

"You... what are you thinking? Do you want me to be a girl as a bait!?" Alice was not very willing, feeling as if she had been abandoned, it would not be a good thing to be a bait by herself!In case of any danger, wouldn't he be the first to be unlucky?For such a dangerous matter, it is more reasonable for the rough-skinned Merlin to go.

"Miss Alice, aren't you a glorious little guard of justice?" Merlin said to Alice earnestly, showing the appearance of an unforgiving veteran cadre, "Now is the time when the organization needs you, even if you make some sacrifices." It's all worth it.

"I see that you like to meddle in other people's business every day; you're not just so enlightened, are you?"

Chapter 38: God damn abduction

Night falls.

Alice had no choice but to be selected as the bait for this plan, and no objection was allowed at all.

As a result, in such a quiet night, Alice walked out alone, wandering around in the relatively remote streets of Avignon.

In order to dress herself up like a homeless refugee, Alice put on dirty clothes and smeared a little dust on her face. She really looked like a refugee wandering in the dark, perfectly blending into the refugee crowd middle.

The clothes on Alice were bought by Merlin from the refugees for a few copper coins. At that time, the refugees thought Merlin was a fool. How could anyone buy tattered clothes with money?

Because Alice was going to pretend to be a homeless refugee, she couldn't even carry her own sword, so she had to act empty-handed.

If Alice was wearing a rapier, no matter how she looked at it, she would be incompatible with her status as a refugee, and it might scare the traffickers away.

This made Alice, who had no weapon on her body, feel a little flustered in her heart, and she was very uneasy without her sword by her side.

However, according to the plan formulated, Merlin and old Akalon would secretly stare at Alice in the dark and observe the whole process in secret until they found the lair of the traffickers.

Although Alice feels uneasy without a weapon in hand, she feels that Merlin will definitely protect herself secretly, but the fact is that on the roof of a relatively high building in Avignon, Merlin and old Acaron are condescending here, Observed several streets where Alice was active.

The field of vision here is relatively wide, and you can see farther places, and you can barely capture Alice's expression, but the sky is too dark, and you will lose your vision if you don't pay attention.

But in order not to startle the snake and make the traffickers afraid, Merlin and the old Akalon could not get close to Alice. They could only watch from a distance as the old Akalon held a relatively simple binoculars and kept his eyes on Alice in the distance. silk body.

He was already very old, and his eyes were not working well, and it seemed very difficult to stare at Alice.

"Your Excellency Merlin, are you here to help look after Miss Alice too? My eyesight is becoming more and more unclear at night..."

"Don't worry, old man, Alice won't be in danger. Are ordinary little thieves her opponents? Why don't you care more about the safety of little thieves.

Merlin lay on the roof and took a short rest with his eyes closed. It seemed that he wasn't very worried about Alice's safety at all.

"Although that's what you said, you still have to be on the safe side, right?" Old Akalon was timid and cautious about everything.

"It's okay, I'm looking at Alice."/A Merlin responded indifferently. As a demon, his night vision ability is much stronger than that of a human. He can lock on to Alice's figure with just a glance.

"Then I'm relieved." Old Akaron put down the binoculars and heaved a sigh of relief, "Talk about Merlin Pavilion..."

"What's wrong?" Merlin raised his eyelids slightly.

"Since you and Miss Alice are husband and wife, why don't you express your love for her honestly?" Old Acaron suddenly asked a question that made people feel obscene, T SE light novel

"Ah!?" Merlin was so frightened that he was almost dumbfounded, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he asked, "Why...why do you ask this?"

"Because I can see that you like Miss Alice very much, right? But when you are with Miss Alice, you always look cold and often you want to care about her, but you are not very positive in the end?" The old man Akaron sat down slowly, and continued to ask suspiciously, you are obviously a husband and wife, why can't you be more frank, how strange?Is there something hidden? '"Don't talk nonsense, old man, the situation is not what you think... Merlin has a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, no matter how he looks, he feels guilty.

"Your Excellency Merlin, I can see through it at a glance. I think Miss Alice is quite positive. Sometimes I hope you will give me some feedback, but if you don't succeed, you will become angry for no reason..." Old Aka After a long pause, he continued, "I've seen many couples, like you and Miss Alice, this is the first time I've seen them, it's so strange, there is always a sense of incongruity.

... Merlin's eyes dodged, he didn't lock his forehead tightly, and he didn't really want to answer the question of old Acaron - we are not a real husband and wife, is it normal to be incompatible?

Most of the reason why Alice is active is actually making trouble for no reason, right?

And I really like this stinky bitch?Impossible, impossible, impossible...

the other side.

In order to make herself look more like a refugee, Alice also looked a little tired when she walked.

She looks around vigilantly from time to time, raising her perception to the strongest, and can catch any disturbance in advance.

That guy Merlin... did he really look after my mom?

Alice couldn't help but have such doubts in her heart. Thinking about Merlin's usual attitude, she always felt very unreliable.

After Alice passed through three alleys, she came to a particularly sparsely populated area. There were almost no lights around here, and it was extremely dim.

At this moment, Alice suddenly noticed something strange. She didn't notice it when people came and went just now. There was no one around at this time, but she found something weird.

Two people followed Alice secretly from the beginning to the end, quietly following Alice, and they seemed to have been staring at her for a long time.
