The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Today, I am ordered by the Ninth Thorn Knight Lord Sahadin to investigate the two of you in detail."

Chapter 9

"Investigate what?" Merlin couldn't help asking, silently clutching the key in front of his chest.

If you came to ask for this key, then there must be nothing to talk about.

"Of course it was the recent flood of undead in Denbighshire. According to the report of the Garrison Corps, didn't the two of you have contact with the remnants of the former kingdom?" Knight Chapman explained.

"Just here to inquire about this matter?" Alice had limited doubts, obviously guilty of guilt.

Chapman looked at the weird expressions of Merlin and Alice, and wondered if they were nervous. After all, the Bauhinia Knights belonged to the royal family, and most people would feel uneasy if they were approached, thinking that nothing good would happen.

"Don't be nervous, you two are members of Master Taylor. We will not make things difficult for you. To be honest, Master Taylor once went to the palace to give lectures to us Bauhinia reserve knights. We are also half of Master Taylor's students."

Merlin's expression became surprised, thinking that the old man of the president has such a high status?I don't feel it at all, I close my eyes and pretend to be mysterious every day...

"Then...then we can rest assured..." Alice replied awkwardly, still feeling a little uncertain.

"Hey, let's get started, you just need to answer our questions truthfully." Chapman coughed lightly, took the document handed over by his subordinates, and glanced at it roughly, "Did the two witness the former Prime Minister of the Kingdom?" , the whole process of fighting Bernard, the head of the Four Heroes?"

"I see." Alice nodded, then pointed at Merlin, "He came later."

Chapman glanced at Merlin indifferently, especially the adventurer proved that he found out that it was a villager without magic power and vindictiveness. He looked down upon it a little, but he didn't take it seriously. This time, he mainly came to listen to Alice's confession.

Merlin has no magical fighting spirit, and directly made Chapman think that he is a guy who hangs around in the Adventurer's Guild. After all, there are many people like this guy, who are used to eating and waiting to die, and have no pursuit. "Then Miss Alice, their conversation , is there any secret?"

"That is to say... to revive the former kingdom, to gain new power..." Alice didn't quite understand it herself, so that was probably what she meant.

"Get new power? How to get it?" Chapman asked.

"It's just..." Alice looked at Merlin next to him, winking at herself, so she said angrily, "What do you need? I was too far away at the time, and I couldn't hear very clearly."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Alice as an idiot would not be good at lying, he had to watch from the side.

"That's it..." Chapman frowned, feeling that there was nothing to gain, and looked down at the document, "According to the report, Bernard, one of the four heroes of the former kingdom, died 400 years ago. And the one at the scene is a resurrected undead, does Miss Alice have any information about who resurrected Bernard?"

"It should be... His Highness the Prince of the former kingdom, right? I heard them mention it when they chatted, saying that His Highness is not dead, and is still alive now." Alice said while recalling.

Chapman's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "You mean Bernard and the others said that His Royal Highness Copperfield, the prince of the former kingdom, is not dead?"

"Yes, I said it myself." Alice nodded, this is for sure, and she heard it clearly.

Chapman was overjoyed, this was not a small gain, at least he knew who the enemy was, and he didn't need to think too much about who resurrected the former heroes of the Four Kingdoms.

"Is there any other information?"

"What did they say... His Royal Highness has survived to this day by sucking the blood of the Eldar..." Alice recalled this sentence.

Chapman was even happier. The population of elves in Great Britain is very small. Even if they want to catch elves from the southern United Kingdom, they still need to go through customs.

"Is there anything else? Miss Alice, your words are of great help to us, I hope you don't hide anything..."

"No, there will be a fight afterwards." Alice replied.

"Both the necromancer and Bernard are subjects of the former kingdom, why did they fight?" Chapman asked.

"I don't know much, but Bernard is like reviving the kingdom, but the necromancer disagrees, and then... a fight broke out." Alice shrugged.

Chapman thought for a moment, then continued to ask, "Bernard, as one of the former heroes of the Four Kingdoms, what is his strength?"

This question is also very important, and it is necessary to investigate the strength of the enemy.

If it is strong, the ninth knight Sahadin alone is not enough, and other Thorn Knights need to participate in the crusade.

Alice thought about it, and Claude's last continuous burst of combat power was off the charts, but he met Merlin, a pervert, so she said in a very serious tone, "Powerful! Very powerful!"

A hint of doubt appeared on Chapman's face, and he said lightly, "Miss Alice, please don't exaggerate casually. I read from the report that the two saint-level powerhouses were both injured, and you alone made up for it."

"It's really powerful, why should I exaggerate?" Alice frowned.

"Miss Alice, please forgive me. I am a high-level warrior, not an ordinary novice. As far as I know, even if the holy rank is on the verge of death, ordinary attacks are not something a high-level fighter can bear." Yes, if, as you said, Bernard is very powerful, how could it be possible for you to make up the knife easily? This is not in line with common sense."

"This..." Alice looked at Merlin next to her.

"I hope you can tell the truth and assist us in our investigation. Our Bauhinia Knights will be grateful to you." Chapman said seriously.

"It's really powerful, but I didn't kill Bernard, but this guy!" Alice pointed to Merlin, telling the truth.

"That's right, I killed it." Merlin nodded, admitting generously.

Chapman looked at Merlin, immediately chuckled, and said contemptuously, "Miss Alice, are you kidding me? How could an ordinary person without magical powers and grudges defeat a holy powerhouse!?"

"Emmmmmm..." Merlin was silent.With a blank expression on my face, I thought that no one would believe it, if you don’t believe me, let’s pull it down, I’m too lazy to care about it.

"I'm not joking!" Alice pointed at Merlin and said seriously. "This guy is really powerful! I'm close to the peak of the holy rank, killing Bernard in seconds, I saw it with my own eyes!"

This time, it wasn't just Chapman, even the two knights beside him couldn't help laughing "puchi".

"Okay, okay, Miss Alice, please be normal, although I don't know what your purpose is to brag about your lover here, but I know that the holy rank powerhouse wants to kill ordinary people. It just needs a little finger." Chapman shook his head, showing a half-smile expression, and said contemptuously

"Your nonsense now makes me feel..."

"It's a blatant insult to the IQ of a Bauhinia knight."

Chapter 10: Monthly Ticket Addition

Merlin had an indifferent expression on his face, everything was expected.

Anyway, since I don't have magic power and grudge, I'm used to being treated like a salted fish wherever I go.

But Alice didn't think so, and felt very angry when people didn't believe her, so she pulled Ramelin.

"Show them how to draw your sword and slash, otherwise they won't believe me and will treat me as insane!"

"Why do I have to do such a thing?" Merlin put on an impatient look. He didn't bother to show his strength to Xianyu, let alone the late stage of lazy cancer.

As for showing strength to the elder Taylor, it was because he wanted to get a job.

And show strength to Chapman?I don't have any plans, there is no need for this at all.

He will also let himself be watched like a monkey, fearing that he is not mentally ill.

A real strong man would shout on the street every day, "I'm so awesome, am I so fucked?"

This is not a real strong person, but a mentally retarded person with self-inflated.

"Will you die if you show it?" Alice was a little anxious, not wanting to be looked at by these people as if they were crazy.

"Oh, it's too boring, I'm too lazy to move..." Merlin leaned on his cheek and looked away.

"Humph."

Chapman snorted softly, and didn't take Merlin seriously at all, thinking that this guy was just playing tricks.

Hearing what Alice said about Merlin's ability to draw a sword, Chapman became even more disdainful. What's so special about a garbage skill that can only show POSS?

Now Merlin's impression to Chapman is that an ordinary villager is waiting to die in the adventurer's guild, using his sword to swindle and cheat the trash who eats soft food.

Chapman withdrew his contemptuous gaze and corrected his attitude a little.

"Miss Alice, I hope you will cooperate with our investigation and answer Bernard's strength question truthfully."

"He's really powerful! He also has an ancient forbidden technique, which has amazing short-term explosive power!" Alice explained emotionally, her face flushed red in a hurry.

Chapman sighed and had to be serious, and said seriously, "Miss Alice, you know that we are the Bauhinia Knights, and we are directly ordered by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. If you don't cooperate with our investigation, what do I think? You are well aware of the consequences."

Alice frowned, thinking that the other party was a threat. If she failed to speak up, she would be imprisoned, and there might be other punishments.

But I have already told the truth, what else do I continue to say?

Alice hesitated for a while, wondering whether to follow Chapman's advice. Originally, this guy was a bit self-righteous because he was a royal knight.

"I hate being threatened by others. Is the Queen's Knights very powerful?" Merlin was a little annoyed, and spoke before Alice.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency? Are you questioning the authority of the Bauhinia Knights?" Chapman said arrogantly. He didn't intend to talk to Merlin at first, but the other party was a little rude, so he couldn't ignore it.

In the small space, the smell of gunpowder suddenly filled the air.

"Oh, miscellaneous fish is also suitable..."

Alice quickly covered Merlin's mouth to prevent him from continuing to speak.

"Well, I admit that neither Necromancer nor Bernard is very strong, that is, high-level strength."

"I knew this must be the case. How could you make up for a strong holy rank?" Chapman said with a half-smile, as if he was very satisfied with this hypocritical answer.

Alice remained silent and didn't want to care about it anymore. Whatever Chapman thought, it had nothing to do with herself.

"It seems that the strength of the four heroes of the former kingdom is nothing more than that, and they are just in vain. It is a bit overkill for Mr. Sahardin to be responsible for exterminating the remnants of the former kingdom." Chapman shook his head with a smile, and stood up slowly, as if he was about to leave .

"That's right, I also think the Four Heroes have a false name, that Bernard is really weak..." Merlin echoed in agreement.

Alice couldn't bear it, and rolled her eyes twice, thinking that Merlin felt weak, but it didn't mean that others felt weak too!In my opinion, Bernard is as powerful as a monster!Will you die if you don't pretend to be invisible? !

For Merlin, everyone looks like a weak chicken, but from the perspective of others, it is completely different.

"Hmph, Miss Alice, your lover is more honest than you." Chapman smiled.

Alice became impatient and shouted in her heart, we are not husband and wife!What kind of lover does not love others?This couple adventurer proves to be annoying!

"Alice heard, I'm more honest than you, haha~" Merlin felt a little happy.

"G, U, N!" Alice scolded in an atmosphere, feeling very unbalanced.

"Finally thank you for your cooperation, goodbye."

Chapman bowed slightly, expressing the knight's etiquette.

Then the three knights left together.

The room returned to silence, and the two remained silent.

Merlin took out the key around his neck, thinking that it wasn't for the key, he was really lucky~

"What's wrong with this era? No one believes me to be honest?" Alice said with a complicated expression.

"I told you not to take it too seriously, we just need to take care of ourselves." Merlin said lightly, looking very open.
