The Demon King Who Lost His Job

Chapter 54: Collusion

Some time before the devastating javelin was thrown.

Merlin and Alice went straight upstairs, looking for Baron Barton.

Now the dance will explain, it’s time to fulfill its promise...

However, when the two came upstairs, they found that things were a little abnormal.

Many people crowded in the corridor and watched, as if they had discovered something frightening.

People’s faces were full of panic, and they talked about each other, pointing to the sudden situation in front of them: “Really? The baron is dead?”

"Who did it? This is the place of the Rothschild family. Safety will definitely be guaranteed.

"That is, who is so brave, isn't he afraid of being wanted?"

Merlin and Alice saw the scene in front of them, and at the same time, there were waves of doubts in their hearts. The intermittent information could not accurately judge the situation.

The two of them squeezed forward a little, and suddenly saw the horrible sight, pulling everyone back from the joy of the cruel reality of nakedness.

Obviously just now, there was a pleasant misunderstanding downstairs, but now a dead person suddenly appeared here!?This is definitely unacceptable.

There were two corpses lying on the ground. One was the former captain of the guard, whose head was shot through by an arrow, and the other was Baron Barton, whose chest was cut into a blood hole.

From the fairly well-organized scenes at the scene, it can be imagined that the other party was cruel and decisive, killing people without mercy.

When Merlin and Alice saw that the person was dead, the clues of this mission were directly interrupted, and the two couldn't help feeling a little confused when faced with this situation.

"Who did this?" Alice asked subconsciously.

"I don't know, the action was too fast, and it won't take long for the party to end." Merlin frowned.

"Will it be the same group of people?" Alice looked at Merlin, with a hunch in her heart that these things should be connected together, it's not a coincidence.

"what do you mean…

Merlin touched his chin, wondering if Alice has the answer?

"It was the two people who came to assassinate us that night. Will they always be thinking about the treasure map of the blood ruins, so I chose to start today... Alice said seriously.

Merlin pondered for a moment, and felt that it was not impossible. "Maybe it was really painful.

"Tsk!" Alice was a little annoyed, looking at the image of Barton Barton on the ground tragically dying, a little upset."So...Are we one step slower than the enemy? Who are they? Why are they so attached to the remains of the blood race? Even at the expense of humanity...

"Alice, don't think about it too much. Treasure is inherently full of infinite attraction. He will make people crazy, and countless people will follow suit. Even if you do something extreme, I think it's normal." Merlin responded lightly.

... Alice lowered her head and did not speak, obviously not in a good mood. Now all the clues are broken, she feels that she has been busy recently." But Barton said that the treasure map of the blood ruins is at home, and it is unreasonable to be killed now. So you want a treasure map? Wouldn't it be better to sneak into the baron’s mansion and steal it? Why did you come to the ball to kill him?" SI 6

Merlin frowned and said a series of questions, feeling that what was in front of him was a bit abnormal.

Barton Barton once said that the treasure map was not on him, but even so, he also suffered personal disaster, is this...

Flies don’t bite seamless eggs, why did the bad guys come to the prom to play against Barton Barton?

This guy will not lie to me from the beginning, that treasure map is not at home, but on himself!

If this is the case, then everything can make sense. Why did the enemy come to the ball to kill Barton Barton?

I'm afraid that someone else has revealed the fact that the baron has a treasure map, which will make the enemy's news so accurate.

Merlin recalled: Steve, the original housekeeper, with his amiable appearance swayed through his mind, and always felt something was wrong. "Alice, we... seem to have been cheated."

"What do you mean?" Alice asked in a low voice.

"The housekeeper we first met may have colluded with the gang that assassinated us." Merlin whispered to Alice, sharing her thoughts with her.

"You can't talk nonsense about this, do you have evidence?" Alice was a little suspicious in her heart, and did not trust Merlin's words.

"This still needs evidence? We have no grievances with the housekeeper, why is he calculating us secretly? Isn't this unreasonable?" Merlin said seriously.

Alice calmed down, thinking about it, it was not impossible, that letter of introduction could easily get the treasure map of the blood relics, after all, it was guaranteed by the Earl of Austin.

Now that the butler, Mr. Steve, turned his face and refused to admit it, Merlin and Alice could not prove their identities quickly, so the difficulty of obtaining the treasure map would be greatly increased.

Who are the beneficiaries of all this?Except for the two people who came to assassinate that night, there must be no second answer.

"And this Baron Barton also said... Merlin looked at the corpse on the ground blankly, and whispered, "The treasure map of the blood ruins was just on his body, not in the Baron's mansion at all. It is for this reason that it will be attracted. The scourge of death.

"Why do those bad people know that the treasure map is on the Baron? Not hiding it elsewhere?" Alice raised her own question.

"This is something I don't understand, but I suspect that there is definitely something wrong with the housekeeper." Merlin looked at Alice, lowered his voice and said, "You feel something is wrong now, right? Know the whereabouts of the baron and some secrets. , This matter is not a phenomenon of collusion among the staff of the Baron’s Mansion. It is not justified. The most suspicious one is the butler who has done bad things to us, Mr. Steve."

Alice suddenly realized that the strongest person in the Baron Mansion was the high-ranking captain of the guard, who could possess two Saint-rank powerhouses. The person who was assassinated that night was obviously not the same as the Baron Mansion, but they clearly understood Barton's Secret, then the theory of collusion with mysterious forces within the Baron's Mansion is very credible.

Unexpectedly, a simple task of borrowing the treasure map would find so many complicated relationships and some mysterious forces, which made Alice feel quite a headache.

Alice wanted to discuss with Merlin whether to question Steve the butler of the Baron’s Mansion, but when she lowered her head, she saw him squeezed to the front and started touching the corpse of Barton Barton, as if looking for the death of something. ;: This kind of rude behavior caused dissatisfaction from some onlookers. For a while, whispers came intermittently, thinking that these two outsiders were blaspheming people’s souls. Alice felt the pressure of public opinion and couldn’t help it. Stepped forward to stop Merlin from whispering, "Hey! What are you doing? It's blasphemy to play with the corpse roughly as before. Just leave it to the church and the guards of Galway City to deal with this matter."

"I'm looking for a treasure map, if Barton Barton hides so deeply that the two bastards don't find out, isn't this a chance for us? Merlin responded with a seriousness.

"... Alice was speechless, listening to the broken thoughts of the people around, she had to endure it, but the treasure map is the next key clue, and there is no chance to give up.

However, Merlin just tore off Baron Barton's bloody chest, he suddenly seemed to feel something, suddenly raised his head and looked north.

At the same moment, Alice and Merlin had the same reaction. They both raised their heads and looked at the calm starry sky in the north through the glass, but her expression was even more nervous and consterious.

Merlin frowned, put down Baron Barton's shirt, and felt that the sky outside was a little bit wrong. It was late at night, but it gradually became brighter: "What's coming?

"And it's fast.

"This devastating coercion..."

"Do you want to destroy the entire Galway City?"

Chapter 55: Unstoppable

"What is it? Why is there such a degree of pressure?" Alice murmured nervously, feeling the powerful pressure approaching so fast, she couldn't help but seep a layer of cold sweat on her forehead.

"I don't know... Merlin furrowed her brows tightly, with some unclear omen in her heart, "It feels like a powerful magic is approaching...

The surrounding nobles all wondered about the reaction of Merlin and Alice. These ordinary people didn't know that the danger was approaching, and they were still in a state of ignorance.

It seems that if it weren't for seeing the danger approaching with their own eyes, the alertness of ordinary people would be totally unclear that they were dying.

The two raised their heads and looked at the scenery outside through the window on the back. They always felt that the quiet night had become eager to move, getting brighter and brighter. Alice carefully explored this powerful pressure, and said inwardly. Wonderful, I feel that if the current situation is not handled properly, the entire Galway City is likely to be turned into ruins, and Cathy Castle is the first place to be dangerous!

So Alice didn't think about it for long, and took the lead in protecting Galway City first, planning to go out and organize the sudden crisis!

Alice lifted her skirt, smashed the window glass in front of her, and jumped out without looking back?

'Hey!Alice!"Merlin wanted to tell Alice to calm down, and to figure out the situation first, but she didn't expect this woman to be so impulsive, she rushed out without thinking.

This headache made Merlin wonder in his heart, are all brave men like Alice?Do you not think about your own safety in order to protect it?

Mei Lin shook his head helplessly, intending to follow, but a sudden change occurred, causing him to lose consciousness with a sudden explosion!The entire Cathy Castle thundered and trembled, and it seemed that there was a big explosion downstairs at this critical moment!?

Merlin turned to look at the stairs and said, a tongue of flame rushed up from below, and the fierce flame almost swallowed the surrounding nobles, just a little bit!

It seems that the power of three barrels of gunpowder is not enough to blow up Kathy's Castle, otherwise many people died without knowing it at the first time.

The flame finally retreated, and a thick black gleamed on the ground and ceiling, and the entire staircase was blown down. You could see that the downstairs had turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the screams of screams were heard clearly.

This group of surface-lit nobles screamed and fainted. The men could barely maintain consciousness, but looking at their pale faces and trembling legs, Bo was also scared and confused.

what happened again.

Why do things happen suddenly one after another!?

It's a dead person again, and another inexplicable explosion!

and many more!What is this smell?The sour smell is like a dead fish...

Merlin rubbed his nose and sniffed fiercely. Duan Zai thought about it for three seconds, then his expression became shocked.... The smell of magic barrier particles?

It is made by grinding with a special spar and can restrain the magic power.

hateful!Are these all calculated early!?

Alice jumped from the window of Cathy’s Castle to the outside, and she heard a deafening explosion just after landing!

The whole ground trembles slightly, and the walls of Cathy Castle are shaking in the shock wave.

Alice looked back in shock and saw Cathy’s castle burned by flames, thick black smoke rising into the sky, and the flames filled a layer!

She could see some figures outside, many people were swallowed by the flames, struggling constantly, and finally motionless, the painful scream made people very uncomfortable.

Alice was a little lacking in her avatar, and it was obviously too late to save those in the flames. Now that the huge pressure is approaching, the entire Galway City will be destroyed after a little delay.

Moreover, the explosion happened suddenly, and there were not many people who could survive on the first floor of Cathy Castle. Compared with the safety of the entire city, Alice chose most without hesitation.

Alice can only hope that Merlin can help herself and save the survivors. She has to prevent more dangerous existence. But just now, Alice has already inhaled the magical barrier particles in the air, but she herself I was so nervous that I didn't notice it at all.

Alice raised her head and looked at the northern sky, wanting to see what is the guy who can exude such a powerful pressure. In a thick dark night, how many heavy bird clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight.Gong Jyou only saw the sky, and could see the very obvious dark red getting brighter, like tearing a hole in the gloomy sky?!

Alice looked at the weird sight in front of her, and she was a little surprised, what?

The blood red in the sky shrank suddenly, and a javelin that was completely black and shining with red lines struck!
