Chapter 288: The Lost Lord
"Hurry up and cook."
"Prepare camp!"
"Ahh Why am I on a vigil again!? β
"Isn't the vigil task good?,Watch the forum while hanging up.,Or just go to sleep directly.,When you wake up, you will hand in the task to get a reward.,I want to have a vigil task and can't get it.γ
"I want to go out on an adventure!"
The players didn't look nervous about coming to the end of the underground passage, although they noticed the unusual behavior of the other "NPCs", such as Lord Sherlock, who had been stunned for half a day facing the huge wall at the end.
And in front of that wall, it wasn't just Sherlock who was in a daze, but also the Lich Scholar.
"Master Sherlock." Xueba faced the wall in front of him and looked at Sherlock with a thoughtful expression on the side:
"You've ...... a long time ago"
"Don't ask, I already knew." Sherlock turned his head to look at Xueba and said:
"You still need to continue studying, Xueba, how about extending the contract for another year?"
"Lord Sherlock, it's not a matter of contract, it's ...... for this legacy"
Before Xueba's words were finished, Sherlock followed up and said:
"Legacy? What legacy? β
"Huh?"
"There's no inheritance here, this is the private property of the Dungeon Lord of the Eternal Realm."
Sherlock affirmed.
"Now, bring me my personal property."
Xueba heard Sherlock's order and quickly asked the players to carry the statue and the chest.
Then, under Sherlock's command, the huge statue and the chest were placed in front of the wall at the end of the underground passage, which took a lot of time and a lot of magic.
Of course, Apple also saw the actions of the people in the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom, but Apple couldn't understand what they were doing, shouldn't it be the first time to return to it?
"Lord Sherlock, you are truly a genius, when did you see that the Beastmen were the key to finding the legacy? But it's really a seamless design, who would have thought that those beastmen would be blood relatives of the Great Demon Roki Lang Kaimi? β
While the players were busy erecting the statues, Blue was chattering in Sherlock's head.
"Blood relatives? What kind of hybridization could it have been for the bloodline of a high-ranking demon to be tarnished into a beastman? In my cognition, the Great Demon Rokilang Kaimi is a high-ranking demon. β
Sherlock uses "Are you an idiot?" Said in such a tone.
"Uh, isn't it related by blood? This is not the expected formula. β
Sherlock didn't answer Blue's question, but walked up to the wall and pressed his palm against the wall, muttering the words.
Ancient Demon Language?
The top students standing on the side could easily hear the language Sherlock was saying, but most of them couldn't understand it, and even if they were top students, there were gaps in relevant knowledge.
As for the other players, of course, they are making .jpg voices and expressions of admiration .jpg and angry dog planners on the sidelines.
But Sherlock quickly uses coercion to get them into story mode.
And with Sherlock's magic and chanting, lines of rune magic began to appear on the wall, and at the same time, lines of rune magic began to appear on the statues facing the wall.
Everyone stared at everything in front of them in amazement, and the statue made a rumbling sound, as if it was alive, raised the huge box in its hand, and then "bangββ! He slammed into the wall in front of him.
The rune magic array on the chest burst out with dazzling light, and when the box smashed against the wall, the wall began to fold and collapse continuously, not smashed open, but more like it was opened by a key.
And with the continuous collapse of the wall, behind the wall, there is a huge red whirlpool, the whirlpool rotates clockwise, from time to time there is a low snoring sound coming from the wall, and there are red flames behind the wall, but there is no actual flame coming out of the collapsed wall, the feeling is like:
"Is this a TV in a game? Is there a maelstrom in the game? β
"No, no, no, it's more like an entrance to another world in Stranger Things than a maelstrom. And this voice, it's exactly the same, I'll have to go to the forum later. β
"Wait, it's over?"
"Where's Lao Xia?"
"Old Xia?"
The players were chatting over there, and suddenly discovered an important problem, that is, the "NPC Lord" Sherlock was missing, and the reason why they were able to chat wildly here is that without Sherlock's coercion, the players' actions are no longer restricted.
The atmosphere was suppressed all of a sudden, everyone is looking at me and I am looking at you, and Xueba also had a solemn expression.
The Beastman Apple, who could even hear his own heartbeat and breathing, looked at the "Demon Gate" in front of him, the name he had just given him, and didn't know what was going to happen next.
"The plot is anticlimactic, don't you let us in?"
Some players pressed their hands on the "Demon Gate", but they did not break through the wall to enter, and other players followed suit, without the slightest fear of the scene in front of them.
After they tried all kinds of methods and couldn't get into the "Demon Gate", they were about to leave the expedition, or talk crazy to the NPCs to trigger a new plot, when a task popped up in their minds-
[Mission Name: Homecoming]
[Mission Description: Lord Sherlock needs you to return to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon immediately, and remember to bring the statue and chest with you, which are Lord Sherlock's personal property.] γ
[Objective: Return to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon with Lord Sherlock's personal possessions]
γReward: ......γ
ββββββ
Master Sherlock......
Master Sherlock......
In the darkness, Blue's call kept echoing, but he didn't get any response from Sherlock, not that Sherlock was too lazy to answer, but even the sense was very slim, except for the still magical connection, Blue could no longer feel Sherlock's existence, as if Sherlock had completely disappeared into the world.
The heart of the dungeon in the darkness pondered, the lord disappeared, and a group of players completely lost control, only the magic power was still supplied, proving that Lord Sherlock was not dead, but in a special space, and even the communication between the core of the dungeon and the lord could be blocked.
Things are so weird.
Now what?
Blue pondered for a moment and released a task:
[Mission Name: Preparations for Conquest]
PS: Sacrifice a book "Flood Inn": It is a book that talks about the flood and the inn, um.
