Chapter 634 (2/2)

Margaret replied indifferently, she had no doubt about Merlin's ability, after all, she had witnessed the scene of his hand-to-hand combat with the Glutton Demon, and it is still vividly visible.

If it wasn't for Merlin's own very high value, how could Margaret, as the heir to France, favor a mere dark iron adventurer?

”...It's... Blaze looked embarrassed, so he could only force himself to persuade himself in his heart. Maybe it was because His Highness really liked that Merlin, so staying here would make His Highness feel at ease? It's just psychological comfort.

”We have to rely on outsiders' assistance this time to survive this crisis. If we fail, we can...choose to die together without letting the bastard Midas succeed easily.” Margaret used the Star Destroyer as an example. As a last resort, even if it is to bet on the entire empire, it will not be cheap for Midas' blood.

”...Mades heard Margaret's stern tone, and immediately felt a lot of pressure, ”His Royal Highness, is the situation so bad this time?

”Yeah, Robert and Battiloka of the Three Knights have both died in service. The Balrog who lost their host may dissipate at any time. The twelve legendary magic cannons have fallen into cooling and cannot be used. What do you think we have left? Relying on external help, we can only choose to use the last hole cards and die together.” Margaret's expression was optimistic. After Beelzebub attacked, the empire lost most of its combat power and became passive.

”Okay...it's true... Blaze lowered his head and had to admit that the current empire was seriously calculated by Midas.

”So we now need to fight for any power that can be used. The people in the mansion are strong above the holy rank, which is very important to us.” Marguerite mentioned the feather pen again and began to work on the green.

Then... Blaz raised his head and suddenly remembered something, ”Didn't your Lord Claudius give us a treasure? He said that he could seal any resurrection and regeneration ability, presumably Midas would be afraid too?

”...Margaret suddenly stopped writing, raised her head, her eyes dodged with embarrassment, ”The treasure called the Fengshen Stone...has been stolen...

Blaze's expression was sluggish for three seconds, and then he became frightened, ”Huh?

”Hush!” Margaret hurriedly put her finger to her lips and motioned to Blaze to silence. ”Be quiet, don't yell.

”...Were stolen?! How can this be good? That... But the Lord Claudius lent it to us, how can we explain to him?” Blaz felt that something was not good, no wonder Margaret I've been so nervous recently that the treasure that turned out to be most likely to come back has been stolen.

”Blaze, calm down. It's already happened. It's too late to say anything. As for how to explain to your Excellency Claudius? Margaret thought for a while and whispered, ”You can only try to keep him steady, don't let He knew about it.

”But... Your Excellency Clady cherishes this treasure called the Conferred God Stone, I'm afraid it won't last long?” Blaz said hesitantly.

”You can keep it for as long as you can. If you really can't keep it, I will use appropriate reasons to let your Excellency Claudius accept it.” Margaret said seriously.

Seeing that Margaret had made up his mind, Blaise was not interested in talking, ”Okay, but who stole it? Servant” No, I have carefully questioned all the servants and the guards who guard the palace. , They didn't do it, but after hearing the guards say that there was a face dangling in the palace before, I guess it was a thief who came in during the chaos of the Empire... Marguerite showed annoyed eyes.

”Rogue?!” Blaise said with wide eyes and clenched fists, ”Please order your Royal Highness to chase down the thieves in the empire, and you must retrieve the treasure of Lord Claudius!

”I know what to do, but now I should give priority to Midas, right?” Margaret paused, exhorting, remember to lose the Conferred God Stone, don't let Your Excellency Claudius know.'

In the mansion, Alice did not fall asleep, but walked out of the room alone, looking at the dark sky.

The moon is cold, and because the huge celestial body blocks the sun, it is much brighter at night than during the day.

Alice can’t fall asleep. She is still thinking about what happened today. She always feels that there are many weird places. Who is the enemy that appeared in the alley during the day?.

Why are the moves so similar to Jeanne?

Is it true that the Holy See instructed Joan to attack Merlin?

Although Alice has left the Holy See a long time ago, her time as a brave is quite comfortable. She has met many good-hearted priests, so Alice is instinctively unwilling to believe that the Holy See will use the nasty means of assassination to achieve her goal. Still have a lot of confusion.

”Why don't you sleep? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?” Merlin suddenly appeared and came to Alice.

”It's nothing, just can't sleep and eX” Alice lowered her head and said.

”Why can't you fall asleep? Even the guy in Beelzebub who lost his sister can eat and sleep well every day. Are you more upset than him? Merlin looked at Alice suspiciously.

”...Somewhat can't figure out what happened today... Alice said hesitantly, ”Is the Holy See really trying to assassinate you?

”Oh~, this matter.” Merlin smiled, seeming not to care at all. This time the assassin is just a little shrimp. If you want to kill yourself, the Holy See will at least send an opponent like the legendary ten heroes. , I can barely make a few gestures with myself, ”I don't know, but there are many people who want to kill me, and the Holy See is just one of them.

”It... Alice wanted to say that she suspected that the enemy might be Joan of Arc, but she swallowed it to her lips. She thought of the special identities of the two hostiles. She couldn't insist that the Holy See did it. She was always straightforward. , But chose to conceal something at this time.

”Actually what?” Merlin asked in surprise.

”...One count...

Alice dodged her eyes, lowered her head and said vaguely, ”Fruit... I mean if the Holy See is going to assassinate you, why did they do it? In their eyes, you are just an ordinary little adventurer...

Merlin touched his chin, thought carefully, and said, ”Did the bishop of O'Brien Cathedral not come to invite you back to the Holy See? You didn't agree, maybe they think you didn't go back because of me, so just kill me. You are no longer bound. Returning to the Holy See is an inevitable choice. Of course... these are my guesses and do not explain the problem. After all... I seem to have a lot of enemies, and there are many elders in the demons who look at me unpleasant. In their eyes, my inferior product without any characteristics of the demons is not worthy to be the leader of the demons.

After listening to Alice, she suddenly felt a little bit of enlightenment. Combined with all the doubts, the Holy See might indeed do this.

At this moment, Alice couldn't help falling into silence, feeling a little uncomfortable, as if someone had tied her neck with an invisible chain.

Not only was Merlin unable to completely sever the relationship with the demons, even Alice herself seemed to be unable to escape the influence of the Holy See.

Although it seems that I can be together with peace, every day can be noisy, but in the bone Alice and Merlin are still in opposition to each other. Is my wish to be with Merlin an unrealistic fantasy?We are destined not to come together: ”Lin...

”what?”

”If there are no major twists and turns in the future, and we can't pay off our debts, would you be with me forever?”
