The stronghold of the unknown forest is about an hour's journey from the location of the cliff.

And this distance is far enough for most players, after all, running for an hour to fight junglers is simply not possible if it is not true love.

In fact, for players of the game Dungeon, running for half an hour to fight monsters and doing tasks is a common occurrence, and most players are used to such things.

Of course, if they encounter the kind of situation where they need to run for half a day, such as taking an airship to the mission site or doing a beetle beast to the mission location, they will generally choose to get on the airship or beetle beast first, and then go offline to do something else, such as learning to consolidate knowledge and the like.

And when the airship or beetle beast arrives at the target location, there will be players who will remind them to use chat software.

But an hour's walk is still too far away for players, but fortunately there is such a thing as a portal.

Xueba's speed of building a rune magic portal is already very fast, after all, he has done it so many times, and his proficiency is already very high, and in less than two hours after Xueba arrived in the unknown forest, a brand-new teleportation rune magic array has been established in the valley of the unknown forest.

Sherlock still attaches great importance to the underground forest, and he bought all the magic rune materials used in one go, and the price is very high.

With the creation of portals, more and more players are coming out of portals and participating in the activities of building strongholds.

It was originally used as a means of transportation between the unknown forest and the dungeons of the Eternal Realm, Beetlemon. It was teleported directly into the valley and used as a means of transportation for those players to an unknown stronghold.

It's just that before the first group of players who arrived at the stronghold by means of transportation arrived, Arthur and his guild members and some other guild members had already arrived at the designated place, not only them, but also other players, including guild players or casual players, who obviously couldn't wait for the official game update portal and transportation vehicles, but chose to walk around the stronghold to carry out the first wave of exploration.

And the beastmen and goblins in the colony had apparently noticed the sudden appearance of uninvited guests.

They closed the gates of the colony and made a defensive gesture, before sending out a goblin, presumably known as a diplomat, out of the colony, who shouted at the surrounding players:

"Warriors of the Dungeons of the Eternal Realm! We are from the Northern Office of the Eternal Flame Dungeon, and we have come here with peace and friendship, this underground forest, which has not been exploited and occupied by anyone, can be developed with you if you wish. ”

But as soon as the goblin finished speaking, a goblin stood up in the crowd and shouted:

"Fart, you just killed me not long ago, and you still call it peaceful and friendly?"

The goblin who stood up and shouted was of course Marco Polo, who had been killed by them earlier.

The goblin obviously didn't expect that the people in the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom would directly veto his words, he was a little embarrassed, but he still said cheekily:

"I think there must be some misunderstanding in this, we have never controlled the people of the Eternal Realm Dungeon, if it is the contradiction between our second and third heirs and the Eternal Realm Dungeon, it has absolutely nothing to do with our Eternal Fire, after all, they are just heirs, not the lord of the Eternal Fire Dungeon, please be clear about this, our dungeon's position is absolutely not to do anything that harms the peace of the underground world. Like I said, we are here for peace and prosperity. ”

Although this goblin is high-sounding, but in the eyes of the players, these guys have been determined to be villains, not to mention that they have brutally hurt Marco Polo before, this is all ironclad facts, no matter how much they say, it is useless, the most important thing is that their names are red.

As long as the name is red, even if the heavens say it, it is useless, because the ones that can attack are wild monsters.

Indeed, as they spoke, one of the players had already rushed towards the goblin who had come out to negotiate, after all, in the eyes of that player, the goblin had a red name and was wearing a very beautiful long cloth dress.

It's fashion.

There is no official mall fashion for sale in the game.,And fashion is definitely essential for players.,A lot of NPCs wear pretty good clothes.,As long as it's not broken, it's fashion for players.,And this game also has a very conscientious place.,That is, all the equipment in the game has no time limit.。

Including good-looking clothes, this is not like those online games that some people want to die for, fashion not only requires money, but also has a time limit.

In order to ensure that the quality of the clothes was intact, the player did not hold a long sword or any sharp weapon, but instead took an iron rod and rushed towards the goblin diplomat in front of him, who was hit on the head by the player with a stick before he could even react, and then fell to the ground.

"Wow, this reaction is too fast, I knew I would have knocked him with a stick, and I didn't listen to his nonsense."

"I regret it so much, I didn't listen to his nonsense if I knew I wouldn't have it, oh my God."

The players beat their chests in remorse, but it didn't work, after the goblin was knocked to the ground by the player, his clothes naturally belonged to the player who defeated him.

The only pity is that the clothes are the size of goblins, so they can only be sold to goblin players, after all, the player who came out to attack him is a beastman, and his size is not enough to wear goblin clothes.

The battle also started from this moment, after all, the diplomats were beaten to death by the other party, so it is impossible to live in peace and friendship anyway, right?

The players raided the stronghold with the guys.

Behind the stone wall of the stronghold, a series of arrows rained down, and there were some magic missiles such as black and red, all kinds of elements, etc., poured on the heads of the players, and the number of players who came here first was not very many, only five or six hundred, and now they were basically killed and injured by a wave of long-range attacks, and most of the players who were not injured also began to flee for the first time.

After all, they are just here to act as scouts, to inquire about intelligence, to inspect the terrain, and by the way to see if there is any opportunity to take advantage of, in case the door of the other party's stronghold is open, wouldn't it be better not to go in and rob directly?

Of course, such an opportunity could not be left to them.

And just after the first wave of players were defeated by someone from the northern branch of the Eternal Fire Dungeon.

In the stronghold of the Eternal Fire Dungeon, several well-armored commanders were gathered around the edge of a table, and in front of them was a huge sand table, judging by the shape of the sand table, this should be a map of the location of the unknown forest, and the valley in it is also the location of the location forest.

"Can anyone tell me how the news leaked out, why the people of the Eternal Realm Dungeon found this place, and how did they find out about this hidden underground forest?"

One of the Beastmen Commander standing in the center looked at the people around him with a serious face, and his mood seemed to be very bad.

But none of the people around dared to speak, not even gasping for breath.

There was only one goblin for a long time, and he said tremblingly:

"Commander, I don't think it's time to pursue these things, we should hurry up and solve the problem at hand, we have a conflict with the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, we must quickly use diplomatic means to solve this problem, that Dungeon is not something to mess with, Lord Morgan and Master Andrew have been sent to prison by the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon."

After the goblin finished speaking, the rest of the team also nodded, clearly agreeing with him.

The commander was also lost in thought, apparently talking about a problem that had to be solved first.

"I think as long as we send a diplomat to explain the situation to Lord Sherlock, Lord Sherlock will definitely come back and understand our actions of self-defense, after all, it was the people of the Dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom who attacked us first, not our attack on them."

The other beastman said.

"That's right, as long as we propose to Sherlock to give him all the resources of the underground forest, I believe that Lord Sherlock will not embarrass us, after all, I heard that it is a very generous demon."

"The demon of generosity? What are you kidding, I haven't heard of that demon worthy of the title of generosity. Do you know how many magic stones and supplies that demon named Sherlock earned from the Merchant Alliance and the Eternal Flame?"

The commander had a terrible look on his face, and then said in silence:

"According to what I've heard, the total conversion is 50 million magic stones, and this is the benefit that the superior demon squeezed from us and the merchant alliance."

"But it's not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that these magic stones of his are all exchanged for the lives of the people of his dungeon in the eternal realm, can you believe it? This turned out to be most of their pensions! Can you imagine how many people died in the dungeons of the Eternal Kingdom?"

After the commander finished speaking, the man next to him also continued:

"Ah, speaking of which, I seem to have heard that the warriors of the dungeons of the Eternal Realm are people who are not afraid of death."

"Not only are they not afraid of death, I heard that they are also a little perverted, and even have a death-seeking mentality!"

"What's even more terrifying is that they laugh even when they die, and they care more about whether their weapons and equipment are intact than fighting to save their comrades, and I have never seen a warrior of this level with equipment and weapons."

"I even heard that in the middle of the battle, many people were recruits, and they didn't have any weapons and equipment, so they went to the battlefield naked to pick up equipment, and then rushed to fight."

"It's horrible, it's a terrifying dungeon!"

The crowd around the table chattered, and then the commander in the middle knocked on the table, made a bang, and then shouted:

"Enough, I already know the awesomeness of the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, I don't need you to repeat it, I will immediately report this matter to the Eternal Fire Dungeon, and will send special personnel to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon to negotiate with Lord Sherlock, before that, no matter how those people in the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon provoke you, don't resist and fight back, you just need to defend, don't let them storm our stronghold, just occupy this stronghold, We have a say in this underground forest. ”

After the commander finished speaking, all the people below fell silent, after all, there was basically no way to achieve the order he said.

How can you not fight back? If you don't fight back, with the level of defense of this point, won't the other party rush over directly?

But an order is an order, they don't want to obey it, and they have no choice but to hope that they can successfully communicate with the other party's lord as soon as possible.

As for communicating with the other lord......

————————————

"You may be seated."

Sherlock pointed to the chair in front of him and said to the werewolf who came by.

The werewolf in front of him is a diplomat from the Eternal Flame Dungeon, as for why this diplomat came to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, it was through the portal of Winterfell, of course, this was with Sherlock's permission, otherwise they would not have been able to enter the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon through the portal at all.

Sherlock politely let the werewolf sit opposite him, and the black dragon dog egg very diligently made a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea, put it in front of Sherlock, and then returned to the computer desk in the back.

"Lord Sherlock, I'm sure you've already guessed what I'm here for."

The werewolf looked at Sherlock in front of him, but Sherlock did not show any apologetic expression, but looked directly at the werewolf, and then replied:

"I see, you're here to negotiate compensation, aren't you?"

"Wait a minute?"

The werewolf was stunned for a moment, but Sherlock quickly continued:

"That's right, there is something about how to compensate for the loss of our Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, after all, there were nearly 500 people in the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon before, and you were killed in an underground forest that belonged to our Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, you see I have very complete video materials."

Sherlock said as he took out several gold essence rough stones in his hand, and then entered the magic power, and soon a picture appeared in the gold essence rough stones.

The images were as if they were from a first-person perspective, and they were all in front of the stronghold of the underground forest, and countless arrows and magic were seen flying towards them, and explosions were everywhere around them, each of which was only a dozen seconds.

However, if you connect it, you can see how the players were slaughtered by the ranged attacks of the Eternal Fire Dungeon in front of the stronghold.

"Wait a minute, Lord Sherlock, you probably don't know what happened, it's all going through. These, these people came to our stronghold, killed our diplomat, and stripped him of his clothes, not only that, but many people also brandished weapons and wanted to attack our stronghold, you see this bladder-like thing in the picture, is the weapon called the bomb in your eternal kingdom dungeon, right? ”

What the werewolf said, as soon as he heard it, he knew that he was an expert, he knew the situation of the dungeons of the Eternal Kingdom very well, and he had done his homework in advance, so he came here, but Sherlock was not flustered, he continued:

"I think there should be no misunderstanding between us, because it was your people who attacked the warriors of our Eternal Kingdom Dungeon first, so they came to your stronghold to ask for an explanation."

As he spoke, Sherlock took out another piece of gold essence rough and injected magic into it, and soon a picture appeared in the rough stone:

It was a first-person view of a goblin, and you could clearly see that there were several beastmen surrounding him, and while they were still talking, they mentioned the Eternal Flame Dungeon, and there was a mention of killing the people in the Eternal Realm Dungeon, and quickly took a knife and slit the goblin's throat, and the goblin died quickly.

That's right, this is the video that Marco Polo recorded before he was killed by the people of the Eternal Flame dungeon.

In addition, the next picture is the center of the earth who came out of this as a diplomat, strongly denying that his side had killed the people of the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, and then was beaten to death with a stick by the people of the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon.

"You see that there is evidence on my side, not to mention that the underground forest is within the scope of our eternal realm, and your eternal fire dungeon is so far away, why did you send people to me to build a stronghold? And killed my warriors, are they planning to go to war head-on with our Eternal Kingdom Dungeon?"

Sherlock was very puzzled and said to the werewolf in front of him, and the werewolf obviously didn't expect Sherlock to have such evidence, you must know the goblin that the beastmen killed before, but he definitely didn't see the goblin, what kind of video recording tools were in his hand, how did he record these videos?

Although the werewolf can't figure it out, the facts are already in front of him, even if he goes to the demon committee to complain, I believe that the demon committee will be biased towards Sherlock's side, but for that underground forest, the eternal fire has its own reasons why it can't give up, and the werewolf quickly said to Sherlock:

"Lord Sherlock, I believe these are all misunderstandings, and our Eternal Fire Dungeon is very sincere to you, no matter what happened before, we will pay three times the compensation to the people of the Eternal Realm Dungeon who died in this conflict, not only that, but we will also give you a separate compensation, and hope that you can lease the underground forest that has not been occupied by you to us, and the rental will be very satisfactory, you can rest assured."

The werewolf gestured to Sherlock as he spoke, that number was normal, and even a lord would never refuse a number, but Sherlock thought about it and finally said two words:

"Disagree."
