Alice picked up the wine glass in front of her and threw it directly on Hobbs' forehead, calming him down.
"Emmmm..." Merlin said awkwardly with a complicated expression, "Actually, I don't care about Alice's mating rights at all. I came here for the first prize of 5000 gold coins."
Alice suddenly felt a little short of breath. Although she hated her mating rights being used for a duel without authorization, Merlin's lack of interest was the most hurtful thing.
"Haha..." Arnold lifted his hair, "Merlin, you are actually scared, right? I understand, but there is no chance to go back on your word. The last victory belonged to you, but this time, the victory will definitely belong to me. I have seen myself and Ms. Alice step into the wedding hall together, and have been blessed by everyone~"
"Oh, come on..." Merlin had nothing to say, feeling that Arnold's paranoia was too severe.
"Arnold, can you shut up? I really want to chop your head with a sword now." Alice looked very sad.
"Miss Alice, don't be so indifferent." Arnold sat down beside Alice, "Don't worry, I will definitely win the duel and save you from Merlin's grasp, trust me!"
"Go away! Stay away from me! I'm sick of you now..." Alice was so angry that she kicked Arnold away and let him sit on the ground.
"Damn it..." Arnold stood up and rubbed his butt, and said annoyedly, "It seems that Miss Alice has changed into the shape of Merlin, and she still can't forget his big banana."
"Arnold, put your head over quickly..." Alice was expressionless, her face darkened, and she silently drew out her rapier.
"But it doesn't matter, the one who wins in love is often a persistent person like me, Miss Alice, sooner or later you will see my shining point, and then leave Merlin." Arnold looked up at the sadness at a 45° angle, " There are not many people like me who are willing to forgive and take over, I am really the pride of the Austin family~!"
"Do you think Alice and I are like a husband and wife? Why are you misunderstanding us?" Merlin said with a dull expression.
"Hmph, Merlin, are you showing off that you possess Miss Alice now? What a despicable fellow, your possession is only temporary, and tomorrow is the moment of decisive victory..."
Arnold left angrily, probably going to drink alone.
Merlin sighed, looked sideways at Alice, and felt that getting together with this washboard hero was more troublesome than before.
Seeing the annoying Arnold leave, Alice remembered that she still had to inquire about intelligence, so she asked.
"Hobbs, do you know anything about what happened in Denbighshire this time?"
"This information is still there, it's just..." Hobbs wobbled and was seized.
"Tsk!" Alice was speechless, and angrily threw two gold coins to Hobbs, "Say it, you stingy fellow."
"Hey hey~" Hobbs laughed twice and put the money in his pocket
"I collected a lot of information, combined it, and reasoned a little bit, and the whole thing became a little clearer. In the forest to the north, there is the cemetery of the former prime minister of the kingdom. It is a three-story underground labyrinth."
"Not long ago, two tomb robbers disturbed the soul of the former prime minister of the kingdom and revived it. This prime minister is a necromancer. You all know that even if the body dies, the soul is still alive. It was he who summoned it, and it is visually estimated that the active expansion is to expand its own territory."
"Then the whole thing will be easy—"
"Whoever can kill the necromancer in the cemetery will be the greatest hero."
"The meaning of the garrison corps is to clean up the undead and confine them in the forest, waiting for the king to send someone over."
"However, a necromancer of more than 400 years, even if the Holy Priest of the Vatican comes in person, it is not easy to deal with..."
Chapter 32: Monthly Ticket Addition
late at night.
It was close to dawn.
The gathering of adventurers has long since ended, leaving a mess all year round.
Almost everyone has fallen asleep, seemingly very harmonious and peaceful.
In the single-person tent, Alice seemed to be sleeping deeply, but her ears moved slightly, constantly alerting her surroundings.
When Alice heard a clatter of armor, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked outside the tent. Taking advantage of the moonlight, she could clearly see a black shadow passing by the tent.
Alice lifted her quilt, she didn't even take off her clothes, and the sword was still hanging on her waist.
She tiptoed to the door, opened the curtain of the tent and looked outside
Claude, who was carrying an epee, walked straight towards the north gate, his steps were steady, without any hesitation.
This swordsman in black armor looked quite mysterious under the deserted moonlight.
Sure enough, it's suspicious, I have to see who you are today?
Without the slightest hesitation, Alice sneaked up with Claude who was running away late at night. In order to avoid being discovered, she stayed far away and did not dare to approach rashly.
The two left the camp one after the other. It happened that Hobbs was pouring water outside because of too much peace. He seemed to see a silver-haired Alice in a daze.
Hobbs patted his forehead to wake himself up, and Alice disappeared.
He smashed it, smacked his lips, and muttered to himself
"Illusion..."

out of camp.
Alice found out that Claude was going to the forest to the north, which was the cemetery where the former prime minister of the kingdom was.
This made Alice very puzzled.
Could it be that Claude is a lonely hero.
Want to solve the crisis in Denbighshire yourself?
Alice thought it was impossible, and decided to track it down to find out.
Along the way, he encountered a few wandering skeleton soldiers. Claude didn't even need to practice his sword, and he was beaten to pieces with a single punch.
Alice breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the undead along the way will be wiped out by Claude, so that she doesn't have to fight and avoids the possibility of being discovered.
After entering the forest, Alice found that there were not as many undead as imagined. It seemed that someone had been here before, and there were traces of fighting on the ground.
Has someone already entered the forest before?
Alice frowned, feeling that the deeper she went into the cemetery, the more complicated and foggy things became.
After reaching the top of the mountain, there is a temple-like building, which looks old and weathered, and the statue can no longer be seen.
Claude didn't stop all the way, and went straight into the temple.
Alice followed quickly, and poked her head to see Claude standing in front of an underground staircase.
"It seems that there is the entrance to the underground labyrinth..."
◆
Alice had been away from camp for some time.
The flaming sun spread across the horizon.
Most of them have already woken up and are ready to go to the northern forest to hunt down the skeletons and undead spirits inside.
However, Merlin and Hobbs, the two drunkards, were still sleeping, snoring loudly, and seemed to have forgotten about the crusade against the undead.
The sleeping postures of the two were very ugly, lying on the floor sprawled across the floor. Among them, Hobbs was still wearing very flirty pink underwear. On the surface, he looked like a manly uncle, but he didn't expect to be such a person in private.
"Miss Alice?"
Arnold's voice sounded outside the tent, and he planned to dedicate the first smile in the morning to Alice.
But I went to find Alice just now, but there was nowhere, as if I had left the camp.
Arnold suspected that Alice was fooling around with Merlin, so he came to the door with heartache.
"Miss Alice!?"
Arnold rushed into the tent and saw that Merlin was covered with a quilt, and his body was bulging, as if he was hiding someone.
God!Could it be that Miss Alice came to make fun of Merlin last night and fought all night in front of Hobbs?
God!Why did Miss Alice degenerate to this point and become so lewd?How can I purify this sin...
Arnold stepped forward and lifted Merlin's quilt, shouting in grief and indignation.
"Miss Alice, with me... eh!?"
Arnold looked mentally retarded, and saw that there was no Alice under Merlin's quilt, but a big pillow, which was sandwiched between his legs. It was probably more comfortable this way.
Hobbs awoke at the noise, sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"What's the matter? It's noisy early in the morning."
Merlin felt a little cold wind blowing, his buttocks shivered from the cold, and he woke up instantly, and sat up straight away.
"Arnold, I swear, if you dare to lift the quilt while I'm sleeping, I will definitely send you to hell. The quilt is integrated with me. What is the difference between lifting the quilt and peeling my skin?"
"No, Miss Alice is gone, and I can't find it anywhere?" Arnold tried to get Merlin and Hobbs to help, "Mr. Claude is also gone."
"If you don't see it, you won't see it. What does it have to do with us?" Merlin was in a state of getting up and angry, and he didn't like anyone.
"Don't you find it strange to disappear overnight?" Arnold spread his hands.
"Can't you look for it? Look around." Hobbs hammered his waist like an old man.
"I've looked for them, and both of them are gone." Arnold looked very anxious.
"Where can Alice go? Look in the women's bathroom, look through the garbage dumps, slop buckets, etc., you can definitely find them." Merlin said casually, which made people feel embarrassed.
It seems that in Merlin's world view, Alice is a cockroach.
"To be honest, I've been to women's bathhouses..." Arnold said seriously.
"Uh..." Merlin looked at Arnold in surprise, and said embarrassingly, "You are really... a hall-level stalker..."
"And Mr. Claude is gone too, so he eloped with Miss Alice, right?!" Arnold expressed grief, "Miss Alice's private life...why is it so chaotic? It's so flirtatious, and sooner or later it will turn into a bitch of……"
"Stop talking, you have too much imagination, if Alice finds out you will be chopped off." Merlin said expressionlessly.
Hobbs touched his forehead, calmed down a little, and thought about it.
"Speaking of which, when I released the water in the middle of the night, I seemed to see Alice and walked north... Could it be that I went to the cemetery in the forest alone to get a high bounty?"
"The cemetery is so dangerous, how could Miss Alice go there?" Arnold wondered.
"Isn't that holy newcomer, Claude, gone too? Maybe he went with him." Hobbs spread his hands.
"So that's how it is. With Mr. Claude here, it's much safer. It seems that I'm one step closer to Miss Alice's mating rights, oh hehehe..." Arnold turned from sadness to joy, smiling very much happy.
Merlin covered his face with a shocked expression, not caring about mating rights, but
What the hell!
