Dungeon Player

Evelin was walking alone in the ball hall, looking for someone who might be Alexander.

But looking for someone like looking for a needle in a haystack is obviously impossible to succeed.

In addition, Evelin's memory of Alexander is very vague, and she may not recognize him even if she sees him in person.

what to do? Or should I turn around and go back now? But he has just come out. If he goes back now, Lord Sherlock will definitely be suspicious.

Evelin was a little embarrassed, but she was too nervous to be alone in such an occasion.

"Excuse me, Miss Succubus, are you Lord Sherlock's dance partner?"

Just as Evelin was thinking about what to do, a questioning voice came from behind her.

"Ah? Are you talking to me?"

Evelin turned around and saw an ooze monster wearing a suit. The black suit clung to his body. Because of the mucus on the ooze monster's body, those suits already looked damp and had a sticky feeling. It looked a little disgusting at first glance, and I didn't want to reach out and touch it.

"Of course I'm talking to you, Ms. Evelyn."

The ooze politely said to the succubus.

"I am Lord Sherlock's dance partner. What can I do for you?"

Evelin turned around and said politely to the ooze monster.

"That's great. I'm looking for Lord Sherlock."

The slime monster showed a happy expression and said quickly.

"Can you take me to see Lord Sherlock?"

The ooze monster asked Evelin sincerely.

Take him to see Sherlock? Of course there is no problem with this matter. Although it is not clear what the ooze monster wants to do with Lord Sherlock, it should be to discuss business matters.

Evelin was about to greet the ooze monster and go back to find Sherlock.

After all, she had just left not long ago, and Sherlock should still be in the cafeteria area.

But when she just turned around, she felt a sudden blur in front of her eyes, as if there was magic surrounding her.

The figure of the ooze monster in front of her gradually blurred, and Evelin also felt that her body was a little weak. The scene in front of her was like a reflection in the water.

What's wrong with me?

Evelin is a little confused? He shook his head, and then everything in front of him suddenly went dark.

It was like she was standing in a dark room, surrounded by silence.

There was still water on the floor of the room as deep as her ankles, and in front of her was a huge iron cage with a yellow seal affixed to it with a big word "SEAL" written on it.

There was a snoring sound inside.

It seemed like something huge and terrifying was sleeping inside.

Just when Evelin was confused, a hand suddenly grabbed her and pulled her out of the room. The next second, she returned to the hall where the party was being held.

“Evelin, are you okay?”

In front of Evelin was Sherlock who was looking at him with concern.

And around him were some guests who looked at him with strange eyes.

They were all looking at Evelin, as if Evelin had done something strange just now.

"Sorry, Master Sherlock, I have nothing to do. I was just a little dizzy just now. By the way, there is an ooze monster looking for you. Where are the others?"

Evelin stretched out her hand and rubbed her head. She looked around, but she only looked at her guests strangely, but she did not see the ooze monster who just talked to her.

"No need to talk about this, let's go out and get some air."

Sherlock took Evelin's hand and led her out of the banquet hall.

It's much quieter outside the banquet hall. Neat green plants are trimmed into artistic shapes in the courtyard. Lights are shining in the distance. Occasionally, you can see a couple walking among the trees.

Evelin's face suddenly turned red when she saw everything in front of her. Is Lord Sherlock hinting at something? But that’s not right. In Lord Sherlock’s eyes, I should be the black cat and pineapple, right? Does Lord Sherlock like black cats and pineapples?

But that's a male cat!

Evelin thought about a lot of things in a short period of time.

"Where's the pineapple?"

Sherlock looked at Evelin, then frowned and asked.

"Pineapple, he's in my...huh?"

Evelin had just spoken, and you realized that you seemed to have said the wrong thing, and you had already narrowed your eyes when you saw Sherlock looking at you.

“It’s Evelin, right? Aren’t you a pineapple?”

Sherlock looked at Evelin in front of him, and Evelin's expression became more and more embarrassed and her face turned red. It was obvious that he was right.

Sherlock rubbed his head, as if he had a headache:

"This is very strange..."

"I'm sorry, Lord Sherlock. I won't dare to do it next time. Please don't be angry with me."

Evelin looked at Sherlock's expression, lowered her head and said, she seemed to think Sherlock was angry because she had deceived him after all.

"It's not something to be angry about. Evelin, I have some questions to ask you." Sherlock looked at Evelin and said seriously:

"Have you always been like this?"

"What does it look like? Lord Sherlock, don't misunderstand me. I am not a liar. I just want... to be with you..."

Evelin lowered her head and her voice became lower and lower.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame you."

Sherlock waved his hand and said to Evelin.

He glanced at Evelin again to make sure that Evelin was not deliberately hiding anything or lying, and then he said:

"Evelin, please go to the cafeteria and wait for me. I'll be here right away. Remember, no matter who talks to you, don't talk to him. That ooze monster just now, if I guessed it correctly , he probably wanted to control you with mental magic, but you broke free by your own strength."

"What? Such a thing happened, but why did he do it?"

Evelin had an incomprehensible expression on her face, why would an ooze monster treat her like this, and she was not an important person, etc. Could it be to deal with Lord Sherlock? Does he want to hold me hostage and then threaten Lord Sherlock? So if Lord Sherlock hadn't rescued me in time just now, but I was held hostage by those guys, would Lord Sherlock have searched hard for my clues and then come to rescue me? Oh my gosh! In that case, I would be too much of a drag on Lord Sherlock!

Evelin had already imagined a half-million-word domineering article in her mind.

By the time she reacted, Sherlock had already left the place.

"Lord Sherlock, where are you going?"

Evelin asked nervously.

"I'll go find Nicholas, don't worry."

Sherlock turned around with a smile and didn't look angry. He waved his hand at Evelin and then left. Evelin looked at the direction Sherlock left and could only follow Sherlock's instructions first. Ordered to go back to the cafeteria to wait for Sherlock.

Not long after Sherlock left, Blue in his mind said:

"This Evelin is a bit unusual. Lord Sherlock, do you think she is deceiving us? Who is the spy sent to the underground city of the Eternal Capital?"

"A spy wouldn't sell me a dungeon like yours."

Sherlock rejected Blue's guess in one sentence.

"That's really weird. I don't know what's going on with her at all? I originally thought she was a pineapple, so she spontaneously resisted the magic of mind control. Only one of the seventy-two great demons can have such a powerful magic wave. Is it possible to have it? An Evelin actually possesses such magic power, which was never discovered before! It’s really surprising.”

After Blue finished speaking, Sherlock showed a thoughtful expression:

"It seems that Evelin herself doesn't know what happened, nor what kind of power she has. We have no choice but to explore these things in a short time and find the ooze monster that attacked Evelin first. Bar."

Sherlock was talking as he walked, and not long after he finished speaking, there was a noise in front of him.

"Did something happen over there?"

"It seems an ooze monster was killed!"

"No way, here? This is the Merchant Alliance Merchant Party!"

"It really seems like the representative of the Northern Principality was killed by someone. I just went to check it out. The death of the ooze monster was too tragic."

Sherlock heard the voices of the people in front of him, and his pace quickened a little. He quickly passed through the crowd, and then walked to the place where those people were watching. He saw an ooze monster that was almost liquefied lying limp on the ground.

The ooze monster had a dagger stuck in its body, and the dagger was still emitting magical light.

Obviously, the ooze monster was killed by this dagger. Of course, an ordinary dagger cannot kill one. The ooze monster has no entity in its body, just like a liquid. This dagger is blessed by magic.

"Give me a moment, please give me a moment."

Soon, beasts and goblins in armored uniforms came in, carrying stretchers, and others brought yellow cordons to cordon off the scene.

The beasts wanted to carry the body of the ooze monster lying on the ground onto a stretcher, but when they did so, they found that the ooze monster was like a liquid and there was no way to pick it up.

The places their hands touched would immediately soften like liquid and then flow on the ground. The places not touched would continue to remain in a jelly-like state, but it would not last long.

It was obvious that this ooze monster was dead, not for long.

"Lord Sherlock, Lord Sherlock!"

Just as Sherlock was looking at the dead ooze monster, Nicholas's shout came from behind. Sherlock turned around and saw Nicholas walking hard from behind the crowd.

Nicholas squeezed through the crowd and came to Sherlock:

"Lord Sherlock, please come with me. There has been an attack here and it is not very safe."

Sherlock nodded, and then left the place with Nicholas.

And many people around began to follow the staff of the Merchant Alliance to move to a safe place.

"Lord Sherlock, are we just leaving like this? Obviously there is a murderer among these people. At this time, we shouldn't push up our glasses, then go out and shout loudly, don't move, you people One of them is the murderer, have I discovered the truth? If you are shy, we can hypnotize Nicholas, the sleeping Nicholas, I think it is quite suitable."

Blue's voice didn't sound nervous at all, but rather very happy.

He seemed to enjoy the chaos. In other words, is it a place that makes him think he can make fun of it?

"I'm really sorry, Master Sherlock. Please follow me to your room in the manor. There was supposed to be a party, but something like this happened. I'm afraid there won't be a party. You have a good rest tonight and wait until I see you tomorrow." I will arrange for you to participate in other activities, I may be busy tonight."

Nicholas smiled bitterly and said this as he walked.

Obviously, the death of the representative of the Northern Principality, the ooze, made the Merchant Alliance officials feel very troubled.

You know, they invited many important people to attend this business party, but a murder like this happened on the night of the first day. How can the activities continue in the next few days?

This is just like someone slapped the Merchant Alliance in the face. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Merchant Alliance.

"No one wants something like this to happen, Nicholas."

Sherlock said comfortingly to Nicholas.

"Let's go find Miss Evelin now. I thought I saw her in the cafeteria just now..."

Nicholas said as he led the way. He took Sherlock to the cafeteria quickly, and then saw Evelin.

But Evelin was now surrounded by several beastmen.

Those beastmen were all wearing the uniforms of the Merchant Alliance Guards, and they were obviously members of the Merchant Alliance.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do anything. I didn't kill any slime monsters at all."

Evelin looked very nervous, and she said loudly to the beasts:

"I've always been in this place, never moved around."

"Miss, please don't get excited. We just suspect that you are related to the murder. We have not said that you are the murderer."

A heavily armed beastman said to Evelin:

"Someone saw that you had a conflict with the deceased just now. A large amount of magic power was released from your body at that time. As the only person who had a conflict with the deceased before his death, we must investigate and ask you to cooperate with our work."

"Captain, she seems to be from the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon."

Another beastman next to him said to him.

"The Eternal Kingdom? Is it the dungeon they were talking about before?"

The captain was stunned for a moment, probably hesitating what to do, when Nicholas walked up:

"Sorry to bother you, I think this Miss Evelin is not the suspect you are looking for. She came with Lord Sherlock. In fact, he is Lord Sherlock's dance partner and has such a distinguished status. People will not embarrass an ooze monster."

Nicholas held his head high and said in a condescending tone:

"Even if she wanted to make things difficult for the slime monster, she wouldn't do it on the spot."

"Lord Nicholas."

The beastman warriors quickly saluted Nicholas in front of them.

"Hurry up and go about your business, track down the real culprit, and don't disturb our distinguished guests."

After Nicholas finished speaking, the beastman captain nodded to him, and then called his men to leave.

"Lord Sherlock."

Evelin saw Sherlock beside her and hurriedly walked to Sherlock's side. She had a nervous look on her face. It was obvious that the beastmen just now scared her.

"Don't worry."

Sherlock patted Evelin's shoulder comfortingly, and a parrot in the crowd quickly flew towards Sherlock and landed on Sherlock's shoulder.

The parrot lowered its head and whispered in Sherlock's ear:

"Lord Sherlock, I made a small discovery."

Sherlock patted the parrot's head, as if in response to the parrot's words, but did not answer him.

Sherlock smiled and said to Nicholas in front of him:

"Let's keep going, Lord Nicholas."

"plz follow me."

————————————

Zhuo Genbao walked outside the hut and looked at the forests outside. He was very sure that he definitely didn't recognize this place.

Because he had already posted all the terrain and photos of the nearby area to the forum, after those players searched all over Gold Town and Victoria, they did not find any nearby terrain or forest that was very similar to this one.

Zhuang Genbao currently knows nothing else except that the hunter who saved him is the captain of the guard of the Kingdom of God who was wanted three years ago.

And it was obviously not the right time to question the hunter's true identity and reason for being wanted. After all, he had just saved himself. The most important thing was that there were two huge gray wolves around him. No matter how he looked at himself, he was not strong enough to face him. To the point of questioning his identity.

Maybe he just asked him if he was a wanted criminal and was killed by the other party.

After all, the other party is the wanted guard captain. With such an identity, he sounds like a legendary NPC.

The hunter didn't do anything hostile to him. Apart from allowing him to recuperate here, he didn't say much to him. As for the little flying dragon, he was kept in a cage the whole time. According to the hunter:

"If I don't keep it in this house, its dragon mother will probably find it here. I don't want that dragon to disturb my peace."

This is the reason why the hunter told Zhu Genbao.

After all, this is someone else's territory, and it's hard to say anything about Zhu Genbao. Apart from interacting intimately with the little flying dragon across the cage in the room, there's nothing else he can do.

As for the so-called intimate interaction, he would give the little flying dragon some wood to eat, and the other party would yell at him twice.

By the way, those woods were given by the hunter, and he seemed to know very well what the flying dragon liked to eat.

After walking around for a while, Zhuo Genbao decided that he couldn't continue to be in such a daze. He had to trigger some new plots anyway. Otherwise, would he really be able to recuperate here for a few months?

Then this game is still a piece of shit!
