"Really?" Merlin curled his lips, not believing what Alice said, obviously covering up, "Isn't the mother's brilliance that you hug the child just now fake?

"One I haven't thought of adopting her, our situation is not suitable for adopting a child." Alice frowned and explained in a very serious tone: "It's just that now the child has amnesia and can't remember his biological parents. Can't just watch her fall outside.

"I plan to take care of this child temporarily, and send it back when she remembers who her biological parents are?

"Besides, I haven't been married before, and I was called my mother inexplicably, and I was helpless too!

"It's like: It's like being a single mother after being toyed with by a man with no conscience, it's too embarrassing (.δ_ 6)

Chapter 9: Dinner Invitation

"What if the child can't recover his memory?" Mei Lin asked with a blank expression.

"Then...then... Alice hesitated, obviously unable to say why.

"Then take care of it all the time." Merlin helped Alice with the answer.

"..." Alice looked at Merlin in surprise, wondering if Merlin also wanted to adopt this child, then... wouldn't it be a family of three?

"You treat me as a fool?" Merlin narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "Is there any difference between you and adoption? Are you bullying me for studying less?"

A drop of cold sweat dripped on Alice's forehead, and she said awkwardly, "Then what do you want to do? Do you want to leave it alone, are you a devil?

"I was what I was." Merlin spread his hands and said.

"Uh, I don't care, anyway, I won't leave this child casually. My conscience doesn't allow me to do this." Alice said in an unquestionable tone, seemingly ready for adoption.

"Alice, please be realistic, please?" Merlin felt speechless at Alice's tough attitude, completely ignoring the situation. We are not in Britain now, but France. What is our mission?Haven't you forgotten?"

"Find Dracula, and kill it to relieve Arnold and his family's short-lived curse." Alice remembered it clearly, and did not forget what she was here for.

"Yeah, this is our original task. Now it is not convenient for you to take this child. We will experience various dangers. Do you think we will have extra energy to take care of this child? No, aren't you harming her in disguise? Merlin tried to persuade Alice not to be so kind, and it was really troublesome to take a child around in a foreign country.

It's not that Merlin is too cold-blooded, but that after weighing the pros and cons, Merlin feels that it is better to leave this little girl alone for the time being.

If you really want to bring such a small child, who will take care of her?Alice?Then only oneself will complete the task.

"...Alice hesitated, and after thinking about it, she could only choose a compromise. "Why do you help this girl find parents after completing the task?"I can't leave her cruelly anyway.

Merlin had given up on persuading Alice, it is estimated that this stinky lady has been conquered by the little girl's passion.

However, it is not impossible to complete the task first, and then help find the parents. It is better than carrying it along during the task.

"Then... where do you plan to host this child temporarily? Orphanage?

"The orphanage definitely won't work. The child has been abandoned and sent to the orphanage, he will definitely think about it." Alice rejected the suggestion.

"Then I have to find someone to take her first..." Merlin rubbed his forehead, and couldn't think of a good way in a short time. There was no acquaintance in France except the old Akaron.

Just when the two of them couldn't pay attention, there were intensive footsteps under the fighting in the tavern, and there seemed to be many people listening to it.

Camilla’s subordinates came here with a group of private soldiers from the Earls Mansion. They were still thinking about finding out which room Merlin and Alice lived in, but when they went upstairs, they saw them standing and chatting in the corridor. .

Both Merlin and Alice were wearing adventurer's certificates around their necks, which could fully explain their identities.

So Camilla's men stepped forward, barely squeezing a smile on their pale face, saluted the two of them, and said very politely, "You two are adventurers from Britain, right?

"Is there anything wrong?" Merlin looked at the man in front of him. He looked very thin and could turn three times when the wind blows.

Camilla's subordinates raised their heads, knowing Merlin's true identity, especially when being watched by those ruby-like eyes, there was a wave of fear in his heart.

Is this really the fearsome great devil?Doesn't seem to have the most vicious aura?It's almost like an ordinary human, but these eyes are full of deterrence. You can't see any emotions. How many people have been cut to have such cold eyes?

Camilla's subordinates lowered their heads, subconsciously avoided contact with Merlin's eyes, and even had an urge to stay away from danger.

"Hey, what do you want to say? What do you think?" Merlin frowned, having no affection for these uninvited guys.

"Ah, sorry sir, I'm distracted." Camilla's subordinates quickly apologized, suppressing their nervousness and said, "The lord of Avignon wants to invite the two to dinner, I wonder if the two of you can appreciate it. A narration from the Earls Mansion?"

"Look for us? Why?" Alice pointed to herself in surprise, now suspecting that there is something wrong with Count Camilla, she unexpectedly came uninvited and wanted to have dinner together?Don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd?

"Yes, it's the two sirs, why are you? You will know as soon as you go." Camilla's subordinates responded politely.

Merlin and Alice looked at each other, and both felt very puzzled. They were looking for the trouble of the lord, but the lord came to the door.

The two came to one side, lowered their voices and whispered, deciding whether to go or not. It always feels like a feast for a grand feast. There will be no return. "Merlin, why does the lord of Avignon come and invite us to dinner?" Alice quietly ask.

"I don't know, but isn't it very likely that the leader of the mercenary group ran to the earl's mansion for refuge? It might be about this matter." Merlin looked at the group, all with weapons in his hands, at first glance It’s not like having a happy dinner together. If you refuse, 80% will use force. In fact, Merlin thinks a lot. So many people come together just to support the scene. The other party knows his identity as a demon, and has long given up on using him. The plan of force will not work.F Mu Xiaowan "What the hell is this countess making? It just happened to come to the door at this time, is it because we moved her cake? Alice frowned.

"It's possible. This group of people are not good. It's better to be careful. The place where we are staying can be easily found. Obviously it was investigated secretly." Merlin speculated that he could see that this group of people went straight to herself and Alice. Come.

"What to do? Go or not?" Alice was asking Merlin for advice.

"Go, if you can finish your meal for nothing, why not go?" Mei Lin said as expected.

"Hey! Are you serious?" Alice stomped angrily, madly protesting to Merlin with angry eyes.

"Ah! This opportunity is rare, don't you wonder what kind of person this female lord is?" Merlin asked back.

Alice thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, just go to the banquet, do you want to bring the baby, she looks like she's not full for dinner!" Merlin rolled her eyes and said in a tone of hatred for iron : "You really treat yourself as your mother N"

Chapter 10: Hongmen Banquet?

"...It's not!" Alice flushed and stared at Merlin angrily, "I'm just worried that the child wakes up hungry at night, and the child doesn't know why, eats very little, and seems to dislike eating. "

"No, it's okay for the two of us to come back earlier? Let the old Mr. Akaron help take care of it for the time being?" Merlin felt that it had nothing to do with the old Akaron to take care of the little girl. Silk will meet the Countess.

Alice hesitated for a moment, and felt it was not impossible. It would be nice to come back earlier, otherwise she would be a little worried about the child.

If the little girl wakes up suddenly and cannot find her mother, she will definitely cry and make trouble.

"…Ok.

Although Alice and Merlin were talking in a very small voice, they were vaguely heard by Camilla's men. Although the intermittent information was not complete, they had children?This news should be reported to Camilla.

This human woman is a Mithril adventurer, not so easy to deal with.

But weak children are very easy. Maybe kidnapping children can control both of them...

In the evening, Merlin and Alice had arrived at the earl's mansion.

When the two of them were leaving, they had asked the old Akaron to help take care of the little girl.

Knowing that Alice, you and Merlin were invited to dinner by Countess Camilla, the old Akalon was very surprised, but he still urged to be safe.

A little play

If Merlin and Alice haven't returned for a long time, the old Akaron said he would go to the earl's house to find them both.

The dim yellow candlelight gave off a dim light, and there were only three people at the long table, Merlin, Alice, and Countess Camilla.

The table was full of sumptuous dinners. Merlin looked at her with straight eyes, wondering whether he would start with the roast chicken, or whether the large steak next to it was decorated ornately, quite particular, and made the fortress very solemn. In a private environment, it's like talking about some secrets.

Camilla smiled with a large number of Merlin and Alice, and did not speak first, but was thinking about how to speak, and invite these two plague gods away without revealing that he was a blood clan.

Is this the two of them?Doesn't look good?How did this human woman seduce the demon monarch?Just rely on the fake milk. Just kidding: If I clean up this woman alone, I will probably be able to split evenly, and even have the upper hand, but the one next to...

Camilla looked at Merlin emphatically, and couldn't help but get a little serious. Is this the first demon?How could there be no breath of the demon at all, but like an ordinary human being.

If it hadn't been for the exact information, such an ordinary guy, I would definitely not want to take another look.

But being able to remain so calm here is worthy of being one of the seven monarchs of the Demon Race, and able to stay sensible in any situation.

Unlike the human woman next to her, she looked at me with hostile eyes as soon as she came up. Such obvious hostile eyes didn't reveal the thoughts in her heart?

It seems that I have been found to be very suspicious. Even if I do not invite them to dinner today, I have already planned to deal with me, right?

Here Camilla was speculating about various situations, thinking Merlin and Alice very hostile, but the real situation is that Merlin: first eat chicken legs or steak first?I want both. The chicken thighs look delicious, but there is only one steak. Sure enough, I'd better eat the steak first, otherwise I won't be able to eat it if Alice snatches it.

Alice: Is there any mistake??Why is this female lord's milk so hot!?Are you breaking your underwear?I hate women whose breasts are bigger than me!Fortunately, Merlin is struggling with the drumsticks, so I can rest assured.

"Cough!" Camilla coughed slightly and said with a polite smile, "Welcome to my castle, I don't know if you two are still satisfied." Satisfied."Merlin nodded frequently. In any case, the table full of dishes satisfied him.

"Tsk!" Alice touched Merlin with her elbow, motioning him not to forget what she was doing.

"Ah..." Merlin raised his head and thought for a while and said, "Satisfaction is satisfaction, but I don't know what the lord is asking for us bookSF

CE small words

"This... of course is to thank you for your outstanding contribution to Avignon? Otherwise, why do you think I invited the two of you to dinner?" Camilla said with a smile.

"We have made outstanding contributions to Avignon?" Merlin was full of question marks, not remembering what good things he had done?

"Is there any misunderstanding, Lord Lord? We have never done anything like this before?" Alice responded solemnly.

"Aren't you the two adventurers who wiped out the Dick Turpin mercenary group?" Camilla said meaningfully, carefully observing the reactions of Merlin and Alice.

MiKxM

Merlin and Alice looked at each other without speaking. Originally, they suspected of collusion between Camilla and the mercenary group because of this incident, but now the other party took the initiative to mention it and was given credit. This made the two of them wonder. I don't understand, is it that Camilla and the mercenary group are not in collusion, but simply have some kind of connection?

"This is not a small credit. Diktpin's mercenary group has always been a factor of instability in Avignon. It often engages in kidnapping and trafficking in human beings. I have long wanted to get rid of them, but I didn't find a better opportunity. "Camilla pours dirty water on the mercenary group, setting aside all his own affairs, "You unintentionally helped me a lot. Inviting you to dinner together is my thanks to the two of you.
