Dungeon Player

After Arthur and the other five met at the crossroads stronghold, they did not rush to line up at the entrance of the dungeon as usual. Instead, they bought enough supplements and feed for the bipedal birds at the crossroads stronghold.

They have a very important activity today, which is to follow the players in Victoria Free City to see if they can go to the surface world.

Because of the establishment of the Crossroads stronghold, players in the Victoria Free City can also go to the Crossroads stronghold in the underground world. Since players on the surface can come here, there is no reason why players in the Eternal Kingdom dungeon cannot go to the surface.

Although there are currently not many places to explore near the Free City of Victoria, and there are not as many places to fight monsters as there are in the underground world, it cannot stop players from yearning for exploration.

The Free City of Victoria is more about collecting wood, stone, ore and other material resources. The only town that has appeared so far is Gold Town. There is also a Duke of York Ridge that is still legendary. Although the players have already set out, they plan to We went to attack the Duke of York's order, but were delayed midway because of the flying dragon. We are still catching the flying dragon.

However, looking at the current situation, it seems that the flying dragon cannot be caught. Lancelot is already gathering players and is preparing to continue moving towards the Duke of York. After establishing a portal stronghold near the Duke of York, the players will The official attack can begin.

Originally, the individual players in the Eternal Kingdom dungeon wanted to let Victoria's players lead the way and take them to find the portal to the ground, but Victoria's players didn't seem to want to do this. At least that's what the large guilds think.

But there is no information in the game that can always be kept secret, let alone the roads that lead to the ground on the surface, and all Victoria players have walked on these roads.

Arthur didn't spend much money to know the way to the ground from those individual Victoria players, and even found a guide.

When Arthur led his people to the gate of the crossroads stronghold, there were already a dozen Victoria players waiting for them. The price offered by Arthur was very attractive, even if he might face other players in Victoria However, these dozen players still intend to lead Arthur and the others to the surface world.

One of the players from Victoria came up and said something to Arthur, but Arthur didn't understand. The player looked at Arthur's expression and understood immediately. He was stunned for a moment and seemed to be thinking. What, then continued:

"are you ready?"

This Victoria player speaks Chinese.

The languages ​​used by players in the two camps of the Eternal Kingdom's dungeons and Victoria's Freedom are completely different, except that the language they use in reality is the same, that is Chinese, and those who want freedom in the game Speaking Chinese is not an easy thing.

The setting of the game is that each player has a common language of their own camp, which is almost engraved in the character's instinct, so if they don't think about it carefully, what they blurt out will often be the common language of the underground world or the common language of the surface world. language, not Chinese.

But if you clear your mind and think about it carefully, you can still say it.

"No problem, let's go."

Arthur said to the dozen or so people in front of him.

"By the way, remember to keep it a secret for us. Don't let our names leak out. Victoria's players won't let us lead the way."

One of the Victoria players said to Arthur.

"Don't worry, we will never say anything, and even if it does spread, it won't be a big deal. I heard that several guilds have found people from Victoria to take me to the surface world."

The burning chest hair on the side was not mentioned to the Victoria player in front of him.

"That being said, I still don't want to be squeezed out by other players. After all, most Victorias are still unwilling to lead you."

"Okay, we get it. Our members have already said that we won't tell anything about you. Let's go quickly."

Sylvanas said to the Victoria players in front of him.

Their team set off quickly, but not long after leaving the crossroads stronghold, some people from other guilds were already following them.

Those are the guilds of Chang'an City. They are hostile guilds to the Pioneer Alliance guild where Arthur is located. They are very powerful in the Eternal Kingdom dungeon and can be ranked among the top 5 guilds. For the Pioneer Alliance, which currently occupies the first place, , extremely hostile.

A conflict like this between unions will of course do everything possible to weaken the opponent. Now that the main members of the Pioneer Alliance guild are far away from the resurrection point, it is the best opportunity for Chang'an City to ambush them. .

And they're ready.

————————————————

While the players were enjoying the game, Sherlock was in the merchant alliance's manor, interrogating the prisoners in front of him with Nicholas.

Two goblins and a beastman represented the cooperative raw material dealers of the Northern Principality. After finding out about them, Nicholas immediately followed Sherlock to arrest them and conduct a very cruel interrogation.

Sherlock did not participate in the interrogation process. He sat outside the waiting room and watched the bursts of holy light burst out in the interrogation room. He couldn't help but turn his head away. It was really scary. He was truly worthy of the Merchant Alliance. , actually thought of such a terrifying interrogation method, maybe they have been doing papers all the time, right?

But what is strange is that even if those three people interrogated them in such a terrifying way, no useful information has been released so far.

Their mouths are really tough. This is what the staff of the Merchant Alliance who occasionally pass by the waiting hall said.

But Sherlock was very patient. He didn't need much sleep, so he kept sitting in the waiting hall. Even though Nicholas came several times and wanted to invite Sherlock to the room to rest, Sherlock just shook his head and let him rest. Nicholas went to rest first, and he continued to wait for news here. To outsiders, it seemed as if Sherlock was very concerned about the safety of the people around him and hoped to get relevant news as quickly as possible. After all, the other party had beaten Iraq before. Fulin's idea, and also killed the ooze monster representing the Northern Principality.

Who knows if their next attack will be against someone close to Sherlock?

At least in the eyes of the Merchant Alliance staff, that's right.

And when the night was getting dark and most of the staff had gone to rest, leaving only the interrogators who were still conducting sudden interrogations overnight, the waiting hall where Sherlock was suddenly dimmed, and it felt like there was a layer of black. The hood loomed over the entire room, and the air began to thicken, creating a breathless and oppressive feeling.

The staff who were still staying in the waiting hall slowly fell down at this moment, leaving only Sherlock and the parrot on his shoulder, motionless.

Under the flickering light on the wall, a shadow like an octopus began to slowly climb up the wall.

The black shadow squirmed, and its body quickly covered the entire wall. Then the black shadow that clung to the wall gradually swelled, as if something grew out of the wall.

Those black things slowly fell to the ground and gathered into a ball. Sherlock still made no movement, but his pet parrot flew up and circled the roof of the room.

When the parrot flew around and landed back on Sherlock's shoulder, Sherlock stretched out a hand and touched the parrot's chin.

"Ignorant devil, I heard you seem to be looking for me."

The black shadow fell on the ground, and then made a chaotic sound at Sherlock.

"You are indeed nearby, but I originally thought that Alexander would come to me in person."

Sherlock looked at the dark figure in front of him expressionlessly and said.

"Alexander? You don't think it's that young boy who's ordering me, do you? I'm just cooperating with him, but don't think that I'm his subordinate. I don't like that kind of devil at all."

The black shadow squirmed and said to Sherlock.

"I see. Judging from the way you look like this, you shouldn't be from the Demon Committee, but from the Ancient God Legion, right?"

Sherlock nodded and then said:

"I originally thought that one of the seven demon kings was involved in this matter, but I didn't expect that it would also involve your Ancient God Legion."

"It seems that I underestimated you. Did you recognize my identity so quickly? Maybe it was not an accident that Frangipani was killed by you."

The dark figure let out an unpleasant laugh. But Sherlock didn't make him laugh for long. He quickly asked:

"Since you are willing to come out and meet, let us have a good talk. I have no special hatred or dislike for the Ancient God Legion. What's more, with the current state of the Ancient Gods being sealed, you will not do anything like this. Nothing too extreme, but I hope you won’t harass me again, I’m just an ordinary high-ranking demon lord who wants to make money.”

Sherlock didn't seem to pay attention to what the Ancient God Legion had done recently. Whether it was attacking Winterfell or resurrecting Plumeria, these were not too extreme things in his opinion.

"Just an ordinary demon? This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard. All of our legion's plans in the past year have been foiled by you. Even Commander Plumeria, who is about to be resurrected, has been foiled by you. You stopped me. If I hadn't known what you had done, I would have almost believed what you said."

The black shadow has turned into a black mass. It looks like an ooze monster stained with ink, but it is still fundamentally different from the ooze monster. At least the ooze monster has facial features. I could see limbs and stuff, but all I saw in front of me was a black unknown object.

"Thank you for your compliment, but you also know that we don't have much time." Sherlock continued:

"Tell me, under what conditions can you leave my sight and stop disturbing me and the people around me?"

"It seems that you have finally figured it out and don't want to go against us? In fact, our Ancient God Legion is still easy to talk to. As long as you are not a big threat to us, we don't want to provoke a lord like you at this stage. Egg You have already killed Hua. Under such circumstances, it would have been impossible for us to reach any agreement, but now, if Lord Sherlock is willing to hand over that Evelin, the matter between us will be wiped out."

“I see, then do you know what is in Evelin’s body?”

Sherlock asked, nodding.

"Of course I know, that's the key to resurrecting Luo Jilankaimi." The black figure said with a smile.

Sherlock frowned and asked:

"Are the Ancient God Legions also interested in Loki Langkaimi? The one who sealed the Ancient Gods was a high-ranking demon like this. I'm not very clear about your plan to resurrect Loki Langkaimi. What does it mean to you Ancient Gods? What’s the benefit?”

"There are no eternal enemies in this world, Lord Sherlock. The former lichs were also the most loyal servants of our Ancient God Legion, but don't they stand with you now?"

"Well, that's what you said. I understand. In this case, I will do as you said. That thing is not something you can take out casually. Come on, let me give you something. Think of it as a congratulatory gift for us to reach an agreement.”

Sherlock stretched out his hand and said to the black shadow in front of him.

"A gift to us? Have you figured it out and want to join our Ancient God Legion? Join us now and you will get a luxurious gift package..."

The black figure walked towards Sherlock as he spoke.

But when he walked in front of Sherlock, Sherlock's outstretched hand suddenly grabbed the black shadow's body, and then the hand slowly merged into the black shadow like the fluid of an ooze monster. in the body.

The black shadow squirmed, but did not speak, because he could no longer speak. He felt a strange power invaded his spirit, and even the connection behind him continued to explore deeper. .

Sherlock's eyes were shining, and the world in front of him was constantly passing through like a tunnel.

Soon he saw goblin beasts one after another, and even werewolves and some high-level races. They were either cleaners sweeping the floor on the street, waiters in restaurants, or employees of a baby product store. Store managers, or explorers who are avoiding danger, and some are even staff in the official system of the Merchant Alliance.

In the pictures Sherlock saw, each of them seemed ordinary, but Sherlock knew that these people were all connected to the Ancient God Legion, and they were all believers of the Ancient God hidden in their daily lives.

However, these people were not the targets Sherlock was looking for. His vision continued to dig deeper along the tunnel, and continued to explore deeper.

After he passed through a series of unfamiliar faces, his career came to a face in the depths.

The man seemed to feel Sherlock's presence. He turned around in fear, trying to escape from Sherlock's sight.

But Sherlock had seen his face.

And just when Sherlock was about to do something further, the black mass in front of him suddenly disconnected.

Sherlock's consciousness was suddenly kicked away from the connection these people were in.

When Sherlock opened his eyes again, he saw the black shadow in front of him. Just like the ooze monster that had been assassinated before, his body began to turn into black mud and slowly softened.

"Ignorant devil, you dare to tease the Ancient God Legion like fools. You will pay the price for your actions. You and the people around you will become a stepping stone for our Ancient God Legion to return to this world."

As he spoke, the black figure turned into a pool of black water, then slowly seeped into the ground and disappeared.

"Lord Sherlock, are you okay? Did you find anything special?"

When Sherlock's spirit returned to the real world, the parrot flew onto Sherlock's shoulder and asked concernedly.

"It's nothing, it's just more complicated than I thought, and I saw a lot of familiar faces. I think it's necessary to go back and ask Plumeria some things."

Sherlock nodded as he spoke.

"Frangipani? Is that the turtle you captured? With all due respect, if you want to find out something from its mouth, you might as well just break its turtle shell into pieces. You can still eat some of the turtle meat. "

The parrot moved and landed on Sherlock's shoulder, and then said:

"That guy is not easy to get along with. Even if you beat him to death, Mr. Sherlock, he may not tell us anything."

"Thank you for reminding me. If it doesn't work, I will treat everyone to a turtle dinner."

After Sherlock finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the hall.

"What are you saying that those country bumpkins huddled in the forest are gathering their troops and want to attack my castle!?"

The Duke of York couldn't believe what he heard. The person who reported the actions of the Free City of Victoria to him in front of him was a resident from Goldsmith.

Just like Guinevere went to the Free City of Victoria to inform the public, not all the residents of Goldshire were against the Duke of York. Some wanted to take the initiative to get closer to the Duke for the sake of gold and fame.

The actions of the Victoria Freestyle are almost public, and those players will brag about their next plan to attack the Duke of York whenever they meet. Such information is not a secret. Even if he did not come to inform, York The Duke would also hear of Victoria's actions in a few days.

"Yes, Lord Duke, those guys who overestimate their capabilities have already gathered thousands of troops. They even plan to capture the flying dragon as a means of attacking you. It's really too bad."

What did the informant say?
