The Unemployed Demon Lord

Because the hostage Alice is still in his hands, no matter how powerful Merlin is, he can't act rashly.

Zooey said that this couple is very loving, so she can take advantage of it.

As long as Merlin obediently surrenders the key to the Burning Legion of Hell, all those who oppose him will die!

Copperfield hurried back to his throne, twisting the dark armrest, as if he had touched some kind of mechanism.

The entire temple began to shake rumblingly, and Copperfield used his wand to stabilize his old figure.

The floor on one side of the temple was slowly pulled away, and bursts of red light suddenly lit up from inside, and the fiery red magma was bubbling and bubbling.

The fiery breath swept across the entire hall in an instant, making people feel like they were in a boiler room.

The wall behind the throne also changed, combining and breaking like building blocks, and finally the entire underground cage was hoisted up and suspended in mid-air.

This temple was originally used to punish criminals, and the institution more than 400 years ago can still be used today.

"Eh!? What happened?!" Alice panicked in the cage, not knowing what was going on.

"Love...Miss Alice..." Shirley looked a little weak, her face was pale, this sudden change made her at a loss.

"Don't be afraid..." Alice held Shirley's little hand to calm her down. In fact, she was also very nervous.

Shirley looked at Alice, put her hands on her chest, and tried her best not to be afraid.

This little princess has always been protected by her father, but now that she has fallen to this point, she can only rely on Alice.

However, after getting along for so long, the two have become very acquainted, and they talked and laughed when chatting.

In particular, the bandage on Shirley's wrist was made by Alice herself, which moved her a little. Shirley didn't expect that Alice would care so much about herself after they met for a short time.

She didn't know that Alice treated everyone like this, it was just her nature.

In fact, Alice was just a little guilty. She was not strong enough, so she could only watch Shirley being bled.

So Alice was annoyed at her incompetence, so she could only comfort Shirley to make her feel better.

Alice saw Copperfield wrapped in a black robe below, and couldn't help but ask, "Hey! What are you doing!?"

"Hmph, what am I going to do?" Copperfield sneered a series of times, "You'll know right away!"

"You bastard! Let us out!!" Alice couldn't help shouting.

"This is impossible. You are my important bargaining chip, and I want to exchange you for a precious key." Copperfield said indifferently.

"Then...then let this Elf lady out!" Alice thought that it would be fine if she wanted Shirley to leave.

"Miss Alice..." Shirley felt a little sorry in her heart.

"Don't even think about it, I don't care if a spirit lives or dies, because when your husband brings the key, I will have eternal life, and you will all die together! It's not good to have a company on the way to hell Is it?" Copperfield didn't intend to let anyone go, as long as he got the key, he would be the new master of this land!

"Dream! Old bastard!" Alice frowned, feeling a little bit of pressure.

"Hmph!" Copperfield snorted coldly, twisted the mechanism, and the hanging cage began to move again.

The two girls began to get nervous again, not knowing where the iron cage leads?

The sound of gears gnashing rumbled, slowly moving towards the hot magma, and finally stopped directly above.

The rolling magma emitted a blazing light, dyeing the faces of the two girls red, and there was a feeling of being roasted on the fire, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Miss Alice, we...are we going to..." Shirley hugged Alice tightly, hesitated to speak, her expression was full of fear, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Alice caressed Shirley's back a few times, and after comforting her, she turned to Copperfield and said angrily, "What are you going to do to us!?"

Copperfield did not speak, but twisted the mechanism.

Suddenly, one of the three iron locks hanging from the cage broke, making a "clang" sound!

"Yeah!" Shirley hugged Alice tightly, scared out of her wits.

Alice's face was also pale. Looking at the bubbling magma below, she felt like she was about to fall.

There are only two iron cables left in the entire cage, which has become very unstable, teetering above the magma, and may fall down at any time.

Now Alice wears an iron ring around her neck that restricts her magic power, which is equivalent to an ordinary person. If she falls into the magma, she will definitely die!

"Now you know what I'm going to do? Hehehe..." Copperfield laughed sinisterly.

"You will be punished bastard!" Alice frowned, cursing viciously.

"I don't know how many people cursed me to death, but am I fine now?" Copperfield spread his hands.

Alice remained silent. Now that her life was in the hands of the other party, she couldn't provoke Copperfield casually. It was better to say a few words less.

"Miss Alice, I don't want to die yet, my father will definitely be sad, why is this happening, I really want to see my father again..." Shirley sobbed, the redness and swelling in her eyes never faded.

"Don't worry, someone will come to save us." Alice comforted Shirley softly.

The two girls shivered in the cage and comforted each other. They could only wait for others to rescue them in such a desperate situation.

Until now, Alice didn't know whether Merlin came or not, and she was not sure, and was a little flustered.

Thinking of Merlin's usual virtues, maybe he didn't care about his own life at all, Alice couldn't help but feel sad, thinking that it would be nice if he was kinder to Merlin...

With a loud "boom", the thick gate of the temple was smashed into pieces.

A violent gust of wind suddenly invaded and extinguished rows of torches.

Merlin held the waist dagger at his waist and walked to the center of the hall step by step.

He lifted the hood of his raincoat, revealing his slightly damp, blond hair.

Merlin stopped, looked directly at Copperfield who was hidden under the black robe, and the corner of his mouth curled up in an intriguing arc

"Yo, old man..."

"Are you the boss of those undead?"

(~,~)

Chapter 15: Monthly Ticket Addition

"Uh……"

Copperfield was taken a half step back by Merlin's aura, but he didn't expect him to be so fierce.

The gust of wind swept through the water, and it blew into the hall with a roar.

Merlin frowned slightly, feeling that this Copperfield was not very strong, judging from the coercion, he could only kill high-ranking officials.

He felt a little disappointed, thinking that the bosses of this group of undead were holy ranks, which could superimpose the time to relieve the curse.

But I didn't expect it to be a small high-ranking one. It seems that the group of holy-ranking dead spirits are also controlled by others.

Merlin didn't know that Copperfield could extinguish the fire of the souls of the four heroes at will, otherwise, why would the four heroes, who are holy powerhouses, obey a high-ranking leader?

"You're finally here..." Copperfield narrowed his eyes, feeling that the key to turning things around was about to be in hand.

"Well……"

Alice wrinkled her small mouth, grabbed the fence with both hands, had a pitiful expression, and was a little excited in her heart. She didn't expect Merlin to really come, and thought that this bastard would see her die.

I didn't expect him to be surprisingly humane at this time, but the usual Merlin looks so heartless, so suddenly he took the initiative to save me, could it be because he likes me?

Like a young girl, Alice was full of wild thoughts.

But then she immediately thought of Elgin, the great swordsman she had been secretly in love with, and couldn't help shaking her head like a rattle

No no no!My sweetheart is the great swordsman Elgin, not Merlin!

Don't be fooled by this devil, he is an evil big devil!

It's so easy to change my mind, how casual am I?

Shirley looked at Alice from the side, and felt that her reaction was very strange.

Although she had always been a strong Valkyrie, the blond man relied on her, and suddenly showed shyness like a little girl.

Could it be

"Miss Alice, is that man your husband?"

"That's right, my husband... ah bah!" Alice quickly changed her words and emphasized, "It's just a husband in name, not really..."

"What... what do you mean?" Shirley asked curiously, thinking that husband and wife are husband and wife, what is the situation of a couple in name?

"It's a long story..." Alice responded awkwardly, and then began to lose her temper with Merlin, "So slow! How come you are so slow!? Is it intentional, and you want me to die here? ?asshole!"

Merlin's attention was always on Copperfield, and he didn't see Alice who was locked in the cage on the other side.

Seeing that this guy is still alive and kicking now, the entanglement in my heart suddenly disappeared from the medicine effect.

However, complaining with such a bad attitude as soon as they met, couldn't help but make Merlin's forehead twitch wildly, very upset.

"You troublesome woman who only makes trouble for others, you still have the nerve to yell in front of me, give me a little self-knowledge, idiot!"

"Ah?" Alice held her breath, and retorted angrily, "What's your attitude? Think about who took you in when you were living on the street! Is this your attitude towards your benefactor!?"

"You are such a troublesome girl, it doesn't matter if you die or not?" Merlin frowned, and became angry when he saw Alice, "But I am very merciful to save you, you who are lagging behind, so give me now Just shut up, okay?"

"Who cares about your mercy! Ugly words come first, even if you save me, I will not be grateful to you, let alone take the opportunity to win my favorability, I will not like you who are heartless like you Where's the guy! Hmph~!" Alice's little mouth was almost poking into the sky, as if she would die instantly if she didn't press Merrill down.

"Huh!? Gaining your favorability? Are you kidding me?" Merlin looked at Alice in surprise, and couldn't help but retort, "Your favorability is worth a few gold coins. I came to save you because of a joint debt." , am I the only one who pays off the debt after you die? How can I let you, a stupid girl, pat your ass and leave comfortably? I’m unlucky and you don’t want to be comfortable! Let’s hurt each other together!"

"You...you despicable bastard!" Alice's head was almost smoking with anger.

"emmmmmm..." Shirley looked at the side for a while, but she didn't expect to quarrel as soon as they met, but it gave people the feeling that

Their husband and wife relationship is so good, it makes people a little envious...

The only two remaining iron cables supporting the cage suddenly broke again!

This sudden change made the already precarious iron cage even more precarious!

"Ah ah ah ah!" Shirley screamed, and the delicate body holding Alice couldn't help trembling.

There was a drop of cold sweat on Alice's forehead. Looking at the hot magma below, she felt that she was getting closer to death.

The entire iron cage was shaky, with only one iron lock remaining to support it, and the situation became critical.

Copperfield touched the armrest of the mechanism on the throne, and said gloomyly, "I'm sorry to disturb the touching reunion of your husband and wife, but for the safety of your wife, please give me the key first?"

"She's not my wife..." Merlin complained lightly, took the key out of his pocket, and shook it in his hand, "This is the key, right?"
