The Unemployed Demon Lord

Chapter 24: Persuading Return

Beelzebub lay slumped on the table, twitching all over his body, he probably didn't expect Merlin to be so ruthless.

Merlin smiled bluntly, and didn't explain the "traitor" label that Beelzebub put down. Who told this guy to ignore the atmosphere and want to expose himself?

Beelzebub doesn't need to be afraid, and he doesn't have to worry about the future. If he gets into trouble, he can just go back to the Demon King's Palace.

But Merlin can't. If his identity as a demon is exposed, he will definitely not be able to survive in the human world.

Merlin would not let Beelzebub mess around and smash his job in a daze.

Joan frowned slightly, wondering what Merlin was doing with this mysterious man lying on the table?

"Miss Joan of Arc, don't worry, this guy's brain is not very good, he often talks nonsense, you don't need to worry." Merlin explained with a dry smile.

"Is that so..." Jeanne looked suspicious, feeling that this mysterious guy's words were very radical, and it didn't seem like a good thing.

Alice, who didn't dare to take a breath at the side, also quickly said, "Yeah, this guy...is a lunatic, maybe he has been stimulated by something?"

Beelzebub grinned angrily, and wanted to raise his head to yell, but was held down by Merlin and couldn't move, so he could only mutter, "You two bitches..."

Joan of Arc saw that Alice said that this person was a lunatic, so she immediately believed it.

After all, although Alice is a false believer, she can also be regarded as a person who serves the goddess.

If this lunatic is some kind of evil person, Alice shouldn't lie to herself.

It seems that the pure Joan of Arc still looks too high on Alice, and even hides a Merlin, so is there a second Great Demon King?

"It turned out to be a lunatic, do you know him?"

"We..." Alice was speechless, looking at Merlin for help.

"We know each other. This lunatic is a homeless man from Wrexham. We didn't expect him to end up in France. We plan to send him back home." Merlin said nonsense.

"That's it..." Joan of Arc relaxed, looking at Beelzebub who was lying motionless on the seat, "This madman's nonsense will definitely cause a lot of trouble, why not leave it to our Holy See, many monasteries Keeping some crazy guys."

"This...isn't it necessary?" A series of beads of sweat flowed from Merlin's forehead, thinking that if he sent Beelzebub out, he must be a traitor to the demons. "There is a younger sister in his family, who is not Alone, even though his sister hates him and thinks he is a pervert, she always wants to stay away from him..."

There was a trace of sympathy in Joan's eyes, and she said with emotion, "What an orphan who is loved by no one."

"Uh..." Alice looked embarrassed, thinking that this is Beelzebub, the demon king who almost killed Joan of Arc, and now he is being scolded as an orphan. To some extent, it is retribution, right?

"Fart! My sister likes me the most! We will be together forever! You are the orphan! Your whole family is an orphan!" Beelzebub was angry, and unilaterally thought that he was the most important thing in his sister's heart.

Merlin frowned, thinking what nonsense is this bastard talking about?Miranda was so angry that she ran away from home, why would she say that her sister likes her the most!

"What... what kind of perverted remarks!?" Joan of Arc's face darkened, and she must have been quite frightened.

"Knock it in! You are the defeated... Uh!!" Beelzebub wanted to argue that he was not a pervert, but was suddenly blocked by Merlin, and he could only let out a dull "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

"I'm warning you not to make trouble. We're all on the same boat now. If you mess around, we'll be finished together." Merlin's eyes became serious, and he leaned into Beelzebub's ear and whispered.

Beelzebub rolled his eyes, he had never been a coward, and his heart was full of contempt for Merlin, he shouldn't be soft-hearted towards humans!

Joan of Arc sighed, and already regarded Beelzebub as mentally handicapped. She made a sign of the cross on her chest, and said with a sympathetic blessing, "Poor guy, may the goddess bless you, and I hope your sister can be relieved."

Merlin and Beelzebub both had weird expressions, and the two demons felt extremely uncomfortable at the same time for the ritual blessing of gesturing the cross.

"Alice, I hope you can reconsider what happened yesterday." Jeanne turned to Alice with a very serious tone.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Alice opened her eyes blankly.

"I hope you will return to the Holy See as a brave man and contribute to spreading the glory of the goddess." Joan of Arc said straight to the point. Yesterday, Alice refused Archbishop Scott's invitation. She was not very desperate.

"Don't mention this matter anymore, I don't plan to go back to the Holy See anymore." Alice smiled helplessly, thinking that she didn't have any faith at all, and she was nothing more than a temporary brave man back then, and there was no reason to work for the Holy See all her life .

"What's the good of running around outside? Adventurers are just a group of guys who don't have a climate. If you can return to the Holy See, you will definitely receive preferential treatment. Your status, reputation, and wealth will all increase. Isn't this what you are after? Joan of Arc tried to convince Alice.

"Don't you always hate me, a hypocrite? Why did you suddenly change your attitude?" Alice felt very strange, she knew that Joan of Arc didn't like herself from the bottom of her heart.

"The situation is different. Now the Holy See desperately needs a brave man to inspire the whole church, and you are the best candidate. Your strength has improved rapidly and has attracted the attention of the higher levels of the Holy See. As long as you want, you can become a brave man again at any time. Isn’t it a good thing to enjoy being supported and loved all the time?” Joan of Arc paused, then lowered her head and said, “Although I despise you as a hypocrite, I know very well that I don’t have the ability to be a brave man, only you who can stand up to the devil king Only then can we carry the banner of the goddess! Defeating Beelzebub is the best proof!"

"???" Beelzebub was full of question marks, thinking when did this human woman beat me! ?I obviously lost to Lucifer!

Merlin was silent and didn't speak, but looked at Alice, thinking that it would be a matter of time before she continued to be the focus of attention, even if she was wooed by the Holy See.

"I used to really like status, fame, and wealth, but now these things are not important to me." Alice shook her head.

"Oh?" Jeanne frowned, her eyes fixed on Merlin's face, "Is it because of this humble little boy? To be honest, I don't see any charm in him that makes you miss him so much, even the glory of the brave It can be dismissed.”

Merlin frowned, thinking to himself what does it have to do with him?Didn't Alice refuse to go back by herself! ?Why is it involving me!

"This...has nothing to do with him, it's just that I don't want to go back to the Holy See, hehe..." Alice's explanation with a slightly red face was not convincing at all.

Who wants to go back to the Holy See to be with those stinky gods?

Merlin will not go back to be the devil, why should I want to be a hero?

Besides, I finally abducted this cheap husband, so I can't let him run away~

Chapter 24: Faith in Justice

"Alice, don't have any naive thoughts at this time. The Holy See will not open the door to a person frequently. If you refuse, I'm afraid you really won't have a chance to return to the Holy See in the future." Joan of Arc said seriously, "And adventurers who eat and sleep in the open air are as noble as the brave ones of the Holy See?"

"Forget it, Joan, I won't go back on this matter." Alice also responded in a serious tone, leaving no room for Joan to maneuver.

Joan frowned, feeling a little unbearable for Alice's stubborn temper. In her opinion, this meant that she didn't know good people.

Countless people like Joan of Arc have worked hard all their lives to be awarded the title of "brave". Alice is so good, she doesn't want to be one at all!

No matter how powerful the adventurers are, they are just a group of guys with nothing but force, and their status is neither high nor low.

But the brave man is completely different. He is an outstanding human being who can directly talk to the Holy Spirit in the hearts of the believers, and his status is not weaker than the monarchs of various empires.

Alice's continuous rejection of the Holy See's cage is simply incomprehensible!

Joan was furious in her stomach, but she couldn't spread it on Alice, so she had to look at the innocent Merlin opposite.

"Is it worth it for this little boy? To be honest, this kind of guy has nothing to praise except for his skin. Even I can beat him with one hand until he can't get up."

"It's not like this...you misunderstood..." A black line like a waterfall fell down Alice's forehead.

"Hahaha, you are so miserable, you are regarded as a useless guy who depends on women to survive, and they can beat you with one hand so that you can't get up!

Beelzebub laughed out loud. Merlin was originally a monarch with the same status as himself, but he was so miserable after leaving the Demon King's Palace?Surprisingly funny.

In fact, in Beelzebub's eyes, Merlin was still the number one demon king, the king who ruled the seven great demon armies, majestic and majestic.

But now that he was suddenly belittled by a humble human being like this, Beelzebub really had a hard time adapting to it in a short period of time. He didn't dare to say arrogant words, but his defeated generals dared to say them?

"you shut up

With a dark face, Merlin secretly punched Beelzebub in the stomach again.

"Pfft!" Beelzebub rolled his eyes continuously under the hammer, "Bastard,...it's not that I said you're Xiaobai...

"Miss Joan of Arc, which eye of yours looks like a little boy to me?" Merlin said sarcastically, "Besides, you are nothing, just like a manly woman. I call you Miss to respect you, otherwise I will I already called you big brother..."

"...What did you say?" Joan raised her eyebrows and stared at Merlin dissatisfied, "There is no distinction between male and female servants who serve God, and my appearance has nothing to do with anyone.

"Ah~, is it? Then if I'm really a jerk, what does it matter to you? You obviously have no right to belittle me, don't you?" Merlin frowned and said in an impatient tone, "You guys from the Holy See are all the same Virtue, talking about great principles, but the body often does things that are inconsistent with words and deeds, isn't this a double standard? "

"Well said! The magic sticks are all of the same virtue!" Beelzebub agreed with Merlin's words for the first time, thinking that although this guy is different from other demon kings, his personality is close to human, but he is still a demon in essence, right?There is a natural dislike for the Holy See.

"Speak wild words, dare to slander the innocence of the Holy See!" Joan of Arc's eyes burst into anger, thinking that Merlin's remarks were disrespectful to the goddess, and she could already be taken back for interrogation!

"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, they...they are all joking, ha...Alice laughed twice, trying to ease the atmosphere on both sides. Sure enough, the devil and the Holy See are in the same room, and they will fight after a few words. They are naturally incompatible Compatible.

"Alice, why do people you know always say such evil things? You can easily say things that are disrespectful to the goddess, even if you are wearing human skin, you are black!" Extremely sensitive, Merlin and Beelzebub are usually guilty. "You hang out with this kind of person every day, can you end well? No wonder you don't want to go back to the Holy See. It turns out that you were bewitched and deceived by these guys. It's polluted!"

"Joan of Arc, you misunderstood, they were just talking casually, but you are too sensitive!" Alice frowned, thinking that Joan of Arc was severely brainwashed and overcorrected for everything.

"The goddess is always just, and those who slander the Holy See are undoubtedly villains!" Joan's eyes gradually filled with hostility.

"...Crazy?" Alice felt that Joan of Arc and Beelzebub were both extreme and incomprehensible.

"Am I crazy?" Joan of Arc's steady face turned blue-gray in an instant, her eyes widened in horror. "Alice, you are indeed affected by evil, I really regret coming to you."

Kou Guang Mu small play

After finishing speaking, Joan turned around and left, walking very fast, obviously full of anger and nowhere to vent.

Alice didn't keep her, but quietly watched Joan leave. She thought she could communicate well, but they broke up unhappy.

After Joan of Arc left, Beelzebub regained his freedom and heaved a sigh of relief, "She is obviously defeated, but she has a temper, I regret it a bit, why didn't I put in more effort to kill her directly.

"It's nothing, but the goddess is always righteous, I think it's a little funny, justice is too cheap, anyone can flaunt themselves." Merlin spread his hands.

"That's right, I can only say that the old foxes of the Holy See are too good at brainwashing. Many fools died in the battle against the Demon King's Palace. They will never know that they are just pawns being used by others." Beelzebub said lightly. Say.

"This is also what I hate about the Holy See. It only uses faith to confuse people. With such a despicable method, who is the evil one? Merlin sighed, showing a look of indifference.

"In the final analysis, all human beings are just victims of the confrontation between the goddess and the devil. If the holy spirits can easily pass through the barrier between the mortal world and the heavenly world, do we still need to train congregants to deal with us in the mortal world? Obviously, it is better for the goddess to do it herself?" Bessie Bu smiled and continued, "The conflict between the demons and the goddess of light is very deep. It is said that it can be traced back to the age of the gods. The god-killing hero who claimed to be a demon killed her sister, otherwise he would not have racked his brains to want Exterminate us. 0] CE big "Is there such a thing? "Meilin looked puzzled, he seemed to have never heard of this period of history, but it sounds like the demons seem to be behind the scenes!"

"That's right, didn't your mother, Vivienne, never say that?" Beelzebub asked in surprise.

"No." Merlin shook his head.

"You may be too young. The lazy guy told me this story by accident. He is the only first generation of demon kings, and he is older than the elf king." Beelzebub said casually.

"Lazy... Merlin recalled it a little bit, and it seems that he still has some impressions. It was an old monster of the same generation as the first generation of Lucifer, and he was an elegant and noble old gentleman.

"Why did you say such nasty things just now? Knowing that Joan of Arc is an interrogator who eradicates evil, you frequently trample on her bottom line." Alice was not very happy, and instead questioned Merlin and Beelzebub.

"There's no reason for that, right?" Merlin looked at Alice.

"Yes, there is no need for a reason." Beelzebub curled his lips and said contemptuously, "Because we are demons (
