Dungeon Player
Chapter 348 Nicholas’s Request (Second update asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes)
Sherlock wore a cloak and patrolled his dungeon territory with the black dragon Goudan.
The living area has expanded so much that it took twenty minutes to walk. Each residential cave has an area of 100 square meters, and half of the caves have been built. Most of these three-story buildings were built by players in the first and second tests. Since the players in the third test had just joined the game, not to mention building small buildings, the sleeping areas were all in the corners.
Sherlock saw several weak, pitiful, and helpless Goblin players, carrying rags that they didn't know where they came from, huddled in the corner with netizens they just met in the game, or friends from another world. Inside, they covered themselves with white rags, even covering their faces, and then said "goodbye" to each other.
Seeing such a desolate scene in front of him, Simba, who was blacksmithing, shook his head and sighed.
Walking out of the slum-like living area, you pass through the goblin nursery, followed by the central "Government Area", Sherlock's lord hall, the academic master's lich's cemetery hall, and the portal hall. Then we came to the forging area. The forging area has a huge furnace as its core and is scattered with blacksmith shops, carpenter houses, magic engineering areas, magic item manufacturing houses, alchemy rooms, etc. However, the most popular place at the moment is the commercial area. .
Because the players have drawn lines for themselves before, those separated squares have now become the players’ stalls. There are only 500 stalls at the beginning, but for 5,000 players, it is still enough. used.
The rules for using street stalls are first come, first served. Each use is for one hour. There is a certain handling fee for using the street stalls.
As for shops, there are not so many rules. After paying taxes every month, you can use them as you like.
Some players may think, why buy a shop when there is an auction house?
The main reason is that the auction house collects tax after each item is traded, while the store pays the tax in one go. If the number of goods increases, the store will obviously be more cost-effective.
Of course, there is no need for ordinary players to buy it, but groups organized as guilds need such shops, which can be used as a means of welfare and publicity.
As for the price, after the auction house determines the price, it cannot be changed before it is removed from the shelves. The price of the store can be changed at will. Then the store must have greater advantages. And I have been looking at the auction house list there, how can I compare with myself? Is it nice to go shopping in a store?
Even before, most players liked to check the prices in the auction houses and then go to the street stalls. Most of them could get tax-free products.
The players did not find it strange that Sherlock came to inspect. After all, Xia came to inspect whenever he had time.
Goudan, on the other hand, carried two front paws on his back and carefully checked whether the players had crossed the line and whether digging the shops was in compliance with the rules. Yes, the shops needed to be dug out by the players themselves, and there were no task rewards. of.
After the treatment, Sherlock finally no longer has to worry about breaking someone's leg while walking. In the past, when there was no place for street stalls, the stalls were set up everywhere. Players set up stalls in a mess, just wherever there was space, and it was difficult to walk. Gone, but now after management, there is a very spacious place in the middle for walking.
"Why did you stick your feet out?"
"Did you dig this place?"
"Put it right! If the products are not put in the right place, you will bring down the appearance of the whole street!"
"Believe it or not, I have collected all your things now?"
After Black Dragon Goudan carried out serious enforcement, he had already walked through the entire commercial district. After completing his inspection, Sherlock nodded with satisfaction.
When Sherlock was satisfied, Blue's voice appeared in Sherlock's ears:
"Lord Sherlock, someone from Winterfell requested to be teleported. According to the information submitted, it should be Earl Nicholas."
"Count Nicholas? I understand. Let him teleport over. I will go to greet him now."
Sherlock nodded, and then walked toward the portal hall behind him with the black dragon Goudan beside him. Not long after, he saw the vampire Count Nicholas walking out of the portal.
As soon as Nicholas appeared, the players nearby were very excited and shouted:
"Zhao Si! Zhao Si!"
"Damn it! A new plot is starting?!"
"I remember Zhao Si is now the Lord of Winterfell, right?"
"How do you know? This plot was not announced on the official website?"
"Are you moving bricks every day instead of going to Winterfell to earn magic stones? Now Zhao Si is the temporary city lord. You can find out about this news wherever you ask."
Players not only talk about it, they also play it.
Many players were very excited and touched Nicholas's body. Mainly because someone touched it and found that there was no problem. Then many people started to touch it. Some touched the wallet, some touched the sword, and some touched the legs. Of……
"Welcome Count Nicholas to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon. Please come to my office to chat."
Just when things were about to take a turn for the worse and even cause a diplomatic dispute, Sherlock appeared in time and used coercion to stop the players who were about to lose control.
Nicholas also breathed a sigh of relief. What could he do? Kill all the little greenskins who tried to invade him? Although this is what he thinks in his heart.
Nicholas followed Sherlock all the way back to the Lord's Hall. Black Dragon Goudan was very discerning and made a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea for himself and Sherlock. Then he sat next to Sherlock and looked at Earl Nicholas who was standing there.
"Please take a seat, Count Nicholas."
Sherlock pointed to the seat in front of Nicholas and said to Nicholas:
"First of all, congratulations on obtaining the position of Lord of Winterfell."
"Lord Sherlock, do you already know? Do you know that I have been promoted from temporary to full?"
Nicholas was stunned for a moment, and Sherlock quickly said:
"It's not difficult to guess. After Winterfell experienced this serious blow, I would be surprised if the Merchant Alliance still believed in those outsiders who came with a lot of magic stones. And at this critical moment , an outstanding vampire count like you is the person Winterfell needs most right now. It would be really unjustifiable if you don’t become the city lord.”
"Lord Sherlock, you are so complimentary, but as you said, at present, within our merchant alliance, compared to outsiders, we still have more trust in us, the old members who have been members for a long time, to become the Lord of Winterfell this time. , In fact, I relied on Lord Sherlock’s recommendation!”
Nicholas said to Sherlock quite gratefully.
"My recommendation? No, no, no, I'm just stating the facts. Without your foresight to support us with various materials, the people of the Eternal Kingdom underground city would not have been able to defeat Samael so easily. , In fact, Count Nicholas, your help to us is much more important than you think!"
Sherlock was not stingy with his praise. After all, a few words of praise would not lose a few pieces of meat.
After confirming that Count Nicholas had officially become the Lord of Winterfell, Sherlock said to Goudan:
"Quickly, go make a cup of underground boiled water for Lord Nicholas."
Black Dragon Goudan drank up the bloody chrysanthemum tea in his cup in one gulp, then jumped off the chair, walked to the storage shelf on the side, took out a wooden cup, picked up the kettle, and poured a cup .
The movements were skillful, and it was obviously not the first time.
Nicholas stood up and said politely to the black dragon Goudan who brought the water glass:
"Master Black Dragon, I'm so embarrassed. I can do it myself."
Black Dragon Goudan shook his head, showed sincere eyes, and said obediently:
"You can drink as much as you want, why are you talking so much?"
"Go and sleep on the side." Sherlock touched Black Dragon Goudan's head and pointed to the nest in the corner.
Black Dragon Goudan reluctantly walked over, turned around twice, and lay down cross-legged. He looked at the empty computer and then at Nicholas, his eyes revealing, "Hurry up and leave. Don't disturb me while I play games." Ah.jpg" means.
"So, is there anything special that City Lord Nicholas has come to do this time?"
Sherlock asked, holding up his hands.
"Actually, it's something related to my appointment as city lord." Nicholas temporarily put Goudan's threats to the back of his mind, took a deep breath, and said:
"My position as City Lord is not very secure. Although the Merchant Alliance has decided to appoint me as the official City Lord, you also know that as the largest neutral dungeon in this area, there are many people who want to become the City Lord, even if they are from outside. There are many people in our merchant alliance who covet this position, so when I was appointed this time, it also posed a difficult problem for me. "
Nicholas looked solemn and said:
"I need to clean up the surrounding ogre tribes first! You should also know that recently, a group of terrifying ogres appeared around our Winterfell. They are the remnants left by Andrew. I originally thought I would destroy them. They were not very difficult, I also sent an elite force under my direct command, but unfortunately, they were completely wiped out."
"completely annihilated?"
"Yes, the entire army was wiped out? That group of ogres, with Andrew's blessing, has greatly increased their strength. According to the reports of my surviving subordinates, they have at least hundreds of complete tribes, forming a A huge ogre tribe has elected a young and powerful new leader. Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible for me to destroy them. Not only is there no way to destroy them, they have even occupied Lindong recently. A peripheral stronghold of the city!"
After Nicholas finished speaking, Sherlock nodded and asked:
"Where are the guards of Winterfell? If they are dispatched, they should be able to destroy those ogres, right?"
"Indeed, if the police force is dispatched, it will definitely cause a large number of casualties. Winterfell is already in an unstable stage now. If there are a large number of casualties, I am worried that someone will make a big fuss and question my position. Governance ability. The most important thing is that I can’t withstand the opposition of the citizens now, and time is extremely unfavorable to me. If I do nothing, or if I don’t have any results, those people who covet me behind the scenes will also Question me.”
"I understand what you mean. You want us to help you eliminate those ogres. Is that what you mean?"
With a pleading expression on his face, Nicholas said sincerely:
"That's right! I know this is very difficult for you, but apart from you, I really can't think of anyone with such strength. Please, Lord Sherlock! Please help me! Of course, I will bear all military expenses and pensions. of!"
