Wearing a cloak, Sherlock patrols his dungeon territory with a black dragon egg.

The place of the living area has been expanded very huge, it took twenty minutes to walk to complete, each residential cave, has an area of 100 square meters, and half of the caves, have built a three-story small building, most of these are the first test and the second test players built a small building, and the third test players because they have just joined the game, let alone build a small building, the sleeping place is the corner.

Sherlock saw several weak, poor, and helpless goblin players, carrying rags that they didn't know where they came from, followed by netizens they had just met in the game, or friends they had met in another world, huddled in corners, covered themselves with white rags, even covered their faces, and then said "goodbye" to each other.

Looking at such a bleak scene in front of him, Simba, who was striking iron, shook his head and sighed.

Walk out of the slum-like living quarters, through the goblin's nursery, followed by the central "government district", Sherlock's lord's hall and the schoolboy's lich's graveyard hall and portal hall, followed by the forging area, with a huge furnace as the core, scattered blacksmith shops, carpenter's houses, magic engineering areas, magic item manufacturing houses, alchemy rooms, etc., but the hottest place at the moment is the commercial area.

Because the players had already drawn lines for themselves, those separated squares have now become the players' stalls, and the stall positions were only 500 at the beginning, but for the players of 5,000 people, it was enough.

The rules for the use of the stall are on a first-come, first-served basis, and each time it is used for one hour, and the use of the stall requires a certain handling fee.

In the case of shops, there are not so many rules, and you can use them as you like after paying taxes every month.

Some players may think, why do you still buy a shop when there is an auction house?

The main reason is that the auction house has to collect taxes after the completion of each commodity transaction, and the shops belong to a ** tax, and if the number of goods increases, it is obvious that the shops are more cost-effective.

Of course, there is no need for ordinary players to buy it, but the guild-based community needs such a shop very much, 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 taken off the shelves, and the price of the shop can be changed at will, so the advantage of the store must be greater, and I have been looking at the list of auction houses over there, how can it be as cool as going to the store to go shopping?

Even in the past, players mostly liked to look at the prices of the auction house and then look at the stalls, and most of them could get tax-free goods.

Sherlock is on patrol, and players don't think it's surprising, after all, Old Xia comes to patrol whenever he has time.

It's a dog, with two front paws on his back, and he carefully checks whether those players have crossed the line, and whether it is in line with the rules to start digging shops, yes, the shops need to be dug out by those players themselves, and there is no task reward.

After governance, Sherlock finally doesn't have to worry about stepping on someone's leg when walking, when there was no stall location before, the stalls were placed everywhere, and the players were all messy stalls, the kind that was placed when there was a place, and it was difficult to walk, but now after governance, there is already a very spacious place to walk in the middle.

"How did you stick your feet out?"

"Did you dig here?"

"Straighten it out! If the goods are not corrected, the appearance of the entire street will be lowered by you! ”

"Believe it or not, I'm going to take all your stuff right now?"

After some serious law enforcement, the black dragon dog has already walked the entire commercial block, Sherlock finished the inspection, and nodded with satisfaction.

While Sherlock was satisfied, Blue's voice appeared in Sherlock's ears:

"Lord Sherlock, someone in Winterfell has requested to be teleported, and according to the information submitted, it should be Count Nicholas."

"Count Nicholas? I know, let him teleport over, I'll meet him now. ”

Sherlock nodded, and then took the black dragon dog next to him and walked towards the portal hall behind him, and it didn't take long to see the vampire Count Nicholas coming out of the portal.

As soon as Nicholas appeared, the players on the side were very excited and shouted:

"Zhao Si! Zhao Si! ”

"! A new plot has been opened?! ”

"I remember that Zhao Si is now the city lord of Winterfell, right?"

"How do you know? The official website didn't announce this plot? ”

"Do you move bricks every day and don't go to Winterfell to earn magic stones? Now that Zhao Si is the temporary city lord, you can know the news wherever you ask. ”

Players don't just talk, they get started.

Many players were very excited to touch Nicholas's body, mainly because someone touched it and found that there was no problem, and then many people got started, some touched the wallet, some touched the sword, and some touched the legs......

"Welcome Count Nicholas to the Eternal Realm Dungeon, and we'll talk to my office."

Just when things were about to take a turn for the worse and even lead to a diplomatic dispute, Sherlock appeared in time and used coercion to stop these players who were about to get out of control.

Nicholas also breathed a sigh of relief, what could he do, could he kill all these little greenskins who tried to violate him? Although that's what he thinks in his heart.

Nicholas followed Sherlock all the way back to the lord's hall, and the black dragon dog was very discerning to make a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea for himself and Sherlock, and then sat down next to Sherlock and looked at Count Nicholas who was standing there.

"You may be seated, Count Nicholas."

Sherlock pointed to the seat in front of Nicholas, and said to Nicholas:

"First of all, congratulations on gaining the position of Lord of Winterfell."

"Sherlock-sama, you already know? Do you know that I have changed from temporary to regular? ”

Nicholas was stunned for a moment, and Sherlock quickly said:

"It's not hard to guess, after Winterfell experienced this serious blow, I would be surprised if the Merchant Alliance still believed those outsiders who came with a lot of magic stones, and at this critical moment, a vampire count like you is the person that Winterfell needs the most, and it is really a bit unreasonable for you not to become the city lord."

"Lord Sherlock, you are really too complimentary, but as you said, at present, within our Merchant Alliance, compared to outsiders, we still trust us old members who have joined for a long time, and this time we can become the city lord of Winterfell, in fact, it is also thanks to Lord Sherlock's recommendation!"

Nicholas said to Sherlock gratefully.

"My recommendation? No, no, no, I'm just stating the facts, if it weren't for your very far-sighted support of us with all kinds of supplies, the people of the dungeons of the Eternal Kingdom 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 did not hesitate to praise him, after all, a few words of praise will not drop a few pieces of meat.

After confirming that Count Nicholas had officially become Lord of Winterfell, Sherlock said to the dog:

"Quick, go and make a glass of underground boiled water for Lord Nicholas City."

The black dragon dog took a sip and drank the bloody chrysanthemum tea in his cup, then jumped off the chair, walked to the storage shelf on the side, took out a wooden cup, and picked up the boiling kettle, and poured a cup.

The action is skillful, obviously not the first time.

Nicholas stood up and politely said to the black dragon dog who brought the water cup:

"Lord Black Dragon, I'm so embarrassed, I'll do it myself."

The black dragon dog shook his head, showed sincere eyes, and said very obediently:

"Let you drink it, why are you talking so much?"

"Go to bed on the side." Sherlock touched the head of the black dragon dog and pointed to the nest in the corner.

The black dragon dog reluctantly walked over, turned around twice, lay down cross-legged, looked at the empty computer, and then looked at Nicholas, with a look in his eyes revealing the meaning .jpg of "hurry up and go, don't disturb me to play the game".

"So, is there something special about the city lord of Nicholas coming this time?"

Sherlock asked, holding his hands.

"Actually, it's something related to my city chief's life." Nicholas put the threat of the dog egg behind him for the time being, took a deep breath, and said:

"My position as the city lord is not very secure, although the Merchant Alliance has decided to appoint me as the official city lord, but you also know that as the largest neutral dungeon in this area, there are not a few people who want to become the city lord, even if it doesn't matter the application of outsiders, there are many people within our Merchant Alliance who covet this position, so this appointment of me also gave me a problem."

Nicholas had a solemn face and said:

"I need to clean up the surrounding ogre tribes first! As you may know, there has been a terrible group of ogres around Winterfell recently, they are the remnants of Andrew's legacy, I thought it would not be difficult to exterminate them, and I also sent an elite unit of mine, but unfortunately, they were all wiped out. ”

"Annihilation?"

"That's right, the whole army is wiped out? The group of ogres, under the protection of Andrew, has greatly increased their strength, according to the report of my surviving subordinates, they have at least hundreds of complete tribes, forming a huge ogre tribe, and electing a young, powerful new leader, in this case, I want to exterminate them, it is simply unlikely, not only can there be no way to exterminate, they have even recently occupied a outlying stronghold in Winterfell! ”

After Nicholas finished speaking, Sherlock nodded and asked:

"What about Winterfell's garrison? If you send them, you should be able to destroy those ogres, right? ”

"It's true that if a garrison is dispatched, but it will definitely cause a lot of casualties, and now that Winterfell is already in a precarious phase, if there are a large number of casualties, I am afraid that someone will make a fuss about my ability to govern. The main thing is that I can't stand the opposition of the citizens now, and time is extremely bad for me, and if I don't do anything, or don't show any results, those who covet it behind me will also question me. ”

"I see what you mean, you want us to help you get rid of those ogres, is that what you mean?"

Nicholas said with a pleading expression on his face:

"That's right! I know it's hard for you, but I can't think of anyone else who has that kind of strength but you, please, Lord Sherlock! Please help me! Of course, I will bear all the military expenses and pensions! ”
