After Arthur and the five of them met at the crossroads stronghold, they did not rush to the door of the dungeon to line up as usual, but bought enough supplements at the crossroads stronghold, as well as fodder to feed the bipedal birds.

They have a very important event today, which is to join the players of Free City Victoria to see if they can go to the surface world.

Because of the establishment of the Crossroads Stronghold, players in the Free City of Victoria can also come to the Crossroads Stronghold in the Underworld, since players on the ground can come here, there is no reason why players in the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon can't go to the surface.

Although there are not many places to explore near the free city of Victoria, and there are not as many places to fight monsters as in the underworld, it can't stop players from yearning for exploration.

Victoria Free City is more about collecting wood, stone, ore and other material resources, the only town that appears at present is Shining Gold Town, and there is a Duke of York Ridge is still in the legend, although the players have set off, planning to attack the Duke of York's order, but because of the delay in the matter of the flying dragon, they are still catching the dragon.

However, looking at the current situation, it seems that the Wyvern can't be caught, Lancelot is already gathering players, preparing to continue to advance towards the Duke of York, and after establishing a portal stronghold near the Duke of York, the players can start the official attack.

Originally, the scattered players of the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom wanted Victoria's players to lead the way and lead them to find the portal to the surface, but Victoria's players didn't seem to want to do so. At least that's what the big guilds think.

But there is no information in the game that can be kept secret all the time, let alone the roads that are laid out on the surface, and these roads are all walked by Victoria's players.

Arthur didn't spend much money to learn the way to the surface from those scattered Victorian players, and even found a guide.

When Arthur and his men came to the gate of the crossroads stronghold, there were already more than a dozen Victorian players waiting for them, Arthur's price was very attractive, even if they might face the exclusion of Victoria's other players, but these dozen players still planned to lead the way for Arthur and lead them to the surface world.

One of Victoria's players came up and whispered something to Arthur, but Arthur didn't understand, and the player looked at Arthur's expression and immediately understood, he was stunned for a moment as if he was thinking about something, and then continued:

"Are you ready?"

This Victorian player speaks Chinese.

The dungeons of the Eternal Kingdom and the degree of freedom of Victoria are completely different languages used by players in the two camps, but the language they use in reality is the same, that is, Chinese, and it is not so easy to speak Chinese freely in the game.

The premise of the game is that each player has a common language of their own faction, which is almost engraved in the instincts of the characters, so if they don't think about it, they often blurt out the lingua franca of the underground world or the lingua franca of the surface world, not Chinese.

But if you clear your mind and think about it, 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, you remember to help us keep it a secret, you can't give out our names, Victoria's players won't let us lead the way."

One of Victoria's players said to Arthur.

"Don't worry, we will never say it, and even if it really spreads, it won't be a big deal, I've heard that several guilds have found Victoria's people and taken me to the surface world."

The burning chest hair on the side didn't say anything to the Victorian player in front of him.

"That being said, I still don't want to be sidelined by other players, after all, most Victoria still doesn't want to show you the way."

"Okay, we know, our members have already said it, we won't say yours, let's go quickly."

Sylvanas said to the Victorian players in front of him.

Their party set off quickly, but not long after they left the Crossroads stronghold, there were already some people from other guilds behind them who were eyeing them.

Those are the people of the Chang'an City Guild, they are the rival guilds of the Pioneer Alliance Guild where Arthur belongs, and the guilds that can rank in the top 5 in the dungeon of the Eternal Realm are extremely hostile to the Pioneer Alliance, which currently occupies the first place.

A conflict like this between a union and a union would of course do everything possible to weaken the opponent's strength, and now that the main members of the Pioneer Alliance Guild were far away from the resurrection point, it was the best opportunity for Chang'an City to ambush them.

And they're ready.

————————————————

While the players are enjoying the game, Sherlock is in the manor of the Merchant Alliance, interrogating the prisoner in front of him with Nicholas.

Two goblins and a beastman representing the cooperating raw material merchants of the Northern Duchy, since he found out about them, Nicholas immediately followed Sherlock to arrest them and interrogate them very cruelly.

Sherlock didn't participate in the interrogation process, he sat outside the waiting hall, watching the holy light in the interrogation room burst out, he still couldn't help but tilt his head, it was really terrifying, it was really worthy of the merchant alliance, and he thought of such a terrifying interrogation method, I'm afraid it didn't make them make papers all the time, right?

But what is strange is that even if the three men interrogated them in this horrific way, there has been no useful news so far.

Their mouths are so hard. This was said by the staff of the Merchant Alliance, who occasionally passed by the waiting hall.

But Sherlock is very patient, he doesn't need to sleep anything, just sit in the waiting hall all the time, even if Nicholas has come a few times and wants to invite Sherlock to the room to rest, but Sherlock just shook his head and let Nicholas go to rest first, and he continues to wait here for news, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Sherlock is very concerned about the safety of the people around him, and hopes to get relevant news as soon as possible, after all, the other party has hit Evelyn's idea, And also killed the Ooze Monster representing the Northern Duchy.

Who knows if their next shot will be against the people next to Sherlock?

At least in the eyes of the Merchant Alliance staff, yes.

And when the night was dark, most of the staff went to rest, and only the interrogators were still interrogated overnight, in the waiting hall where Sherlock was, it suddenly dimmed, and the feeling was as if there was a black shroud over the whole room, and the air began to become viscous, and there was a sense of oppression that made people breathless.

The staff who had remained in the waiting hall slowly collapsed at this moment, leaving only Sherlock and the parrot on his shoulder, without any movement.

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 crawled all over the wall, and then the black shadow that was just clinging to the wall gradually bulged, like something growing out of the wall.

The black stuff slowly fell to the ground and coalesced into a ball. Sherlock still didn't move, except that his pet parrot flew around the roof of the room.

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

"Ignorant demon, I hear you seem to be looking for me."

The shadow landed on the ground, and then let out a chaotic sound at Sherlock.

"You're nearby, but I thought it would be Alexander himself."

Sherlock said as he looked at the dark shadow in front of him with a blank face.

"Alexander? You don't think it's the hairy boy who is ordering me, are you? I'm just working with him, but don't think I'm his subordinate, I don't look down on that kind of demon at all. ”

The dark shadow squirmed at Sherlock.

"I see, looking at you like this, it shouldn't be from the Demon Committee, but from the Old God Legion, right?"

Sherlock nodded, then said:

"I originally thought that one of the seven demon kings was involved in this, but I didn't expect that there would be something about your ancient god legion."

"Looks like I've underestimated you, did you recognize my identity so quickly? It may not be an accident that you killed the frangipani. ”

The dark shadow let out an ugly laugh. Sherlock didn't make him laugh for long, though, and he quickly asked:

"Since you are willing to come out to meet, then let's have a good talk, I don't have any special hatred or antipathy for the Old God Legion, not to mention that with the current state of the Old Gods being sealed, you won't do anything too much, but I hope you don't come to harass me again, I'm just an ordinary high-ranking demon lord who wants to make money."

Sherlock didn't seem to pay any attention to what the Old God Legion had been doing lately, whether it was attacking Winterfell or resurrecting Frangipani, which in his opinion was still not too much.

"Just an ordinary demon? It's the funniest joke I've ever heard, you've thwarted all of our legion's plans for the past year, even the soon-to-be-resurrected Frangipani Commander. If it weren't for the fact that I knew what you did, I would have almost believed what you said. ”

The black shadow had turned into a black mass, which looked like an ink-stained ooze monster, but it was still fundamentally different from the ooze monster, at least the ooze monster still had facial features and could see limbs or something, but what was in front of him was just a black mass of unknown objects.

"Thank you for the compliment, but you also know we don't have much time." Sherlock continues:

"Tell me, what kind of conditions can make you leave my field of vision and stop disturbing me and the people around me?"

"Looks like you've finally figured it out and don't want to go against us, right? In fact, our Ancient God Legion is still very easy to speak, as long as you don't pose too much threat to us, we don't want to provoke a lord like you at this stage. Frangipani has been killed by you, and it would have been impossible for us to come to an agreement under such circumstances, but now, if Lord Sherlock is willing to hand over that Evelyn, the matter between us will be written off. ”

"I see, do you know what's in Evelyn's body?"

Sherlock asked, nodding.

"Of course I know, that's the key to resurrecting Rokilang Kaimi." The dark shadow smiled and said.

Sherlock frowned and asked:

"Is the Old God Legion also interested in Rokilang Chemie? It's such a high-ranking demon who sealed the old gods, and I don't know very well what your plan to resurrect Roki Lang Kaimi will do to your old gods. ”

"There are no eternal enemies in this world, Lord Sherlock, the former lichs were the most loyal servants of our Old God Legion, but now they also stand with you?"

"Well, that's what you said, I understand, in that case, I'll do as you say, that thing is not something you can take out casually, come, I'll give you something, just as a gift for our agreement."

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

"A congratulatory gift for us? Have you figured it out and want to join our Old God Legion? Join us now and there is also a luxury gift package ......"

The dark shadow said as he walked towards Sherlock.

It's just that when he walked in front of Sherlock, the hand that Sherlock had eaten raw suddenly grabbed the black shadow's body, and then the hand slowly merged into the black shadow's body like the fluid of the ooze monster.

The shadow squirmed, but didn't speak, for he could no longer speak, and he felt a strange force invade his spirit, and even the connection behind him continued to probe into the depths.

Sherlock's eyes sparkled, and the world in front of him was constantly shuttling through like a tunnel.

Soon he saw one goblin beastman after another, and even werewolves and some high-ranking races, whether they were street cleaners, or waiters in restaurants, or managers of a baby products store, or explorers who were taking refuge, and even some of them were workers in the official system of the Merchant Alliance.

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

However, none of these people were what Sherlock was looking for, and his vision continued to dig deeper along the tunnel, and continued to dig deeper and deeper.

After he shuttled through a period of unfamiliar faces, his career came to the front of a face in the depths.

The man seemed to sense Sherlock's presence, and he turned back in panic, trying to escape Sherlock's sight.

But Sherlock had seen his face.

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

Sherlock's consciousness was kicked out of the way, and the people were in the middle of the connection.

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

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

As he spoke, the shadow turned into a puddle of black water, then slowly seeped into the ground and vanished.

"Master Sherlock, are you alright? Did you find anything special? ”

When Sherlock's spirit returned to the real world, the parrot flew up to Sherlock's shoulder and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just a lot more complicated than I thought, and seeing a lot of familiar faces, I felt compelled to go back and ask about Frangipani."

Sherlock nodded as he spoke.

"Frangipani? The turtle you caught? With all due respect, if you want to get something out of its mouth, you might as well just break its shell, and you can eat a little bit of the turtle meat. ”

The parrot stumbled a little on Sherlock's shoulder, and then said:

"That guy isn't easy to get along with, and even if you kill him, Sherlock, he won't necessarily tell us anything."

"Thank you for the reminder, if it really doesn't work, I'll treat everyone to a turtle dinner."

Sherlock stood up and walked out of the hall.

————————————————

"Why are you saying that the hillbillies huddled in the forest are gathering their troops to attack my castle!?"

The Duke of York couldn't believe what he had heard, and it was a resident of the town of Shining Gold who reported to him the actions of the Free City of Victoria.

Just as Gnavel would go to the Free City of Victoria to report the news, not all the residents of Shining Gold Town were against the Duke of York, and some still wanted to take the initiative to get closer to the Duke for the sake of gold and fame.

Victoria's Degrees of Freedom was almost public, and the players would boast about their next attack on the Duke of York, so it was no secret that the Duke of York would have heard about Victoria's actions in a few days, even if he hadn't come to the news.

"Yes, Lord Attack, those who are beyond their strength have already gathered thousands of troops, and they even plan to capture the Wyvern as a means of attacking you, which is really bad."

What did the whistleblower say.
