Chapter 5: Dungeon Bestiary
"What? My servant is dead? How did he die? Is there an invasion from outside the enemy? ”
Sherlock didn't expect that not long after he came out, something happened in the dungeon, so he hurried back, and the dungeon core "Blue" on the way also briefly explained the situation.
It's not that there is an invasion, it's that one player has committed suicide by hitting a wall.
Why did the goblins from another world commit suicide for no reason, could it be that the tasks assigned to them by themselves were too onerous? Sherlock didn't understand that he was already a very benevolent and enlightened city lord, even if these goblins from another world had so many strange needs, he had tried his best to meet them, but he didn't expect that someone would commit suicide!
In this regard, the core "Blue" has his set of explanations:
"I probably want to see how to resurrect after I die, after all, it's the first time I've come to this world, and I want to be familiar with many operations, and I have some better strategies when I go back to another world, which is also normal."
Although Sherlock really didn't know what to do about suicide, he rushed back to the dungeon as soon as possible, and then saw the player who committed suicide surrounded by a group of players.
"Is this [Umegawa Kuko] running corpses? Why did you lie down for so long and not come back to life? ”
"Probably what kind of resurrection conditions are needed, right? After all, it's a brand new game mode. ”
"Why don't you die and then not be resurrected, so start all over again?"
"It's the same as the setting in Sword Art Online? This death punishment is too strict.,Meng Xin persuaded to quit.,If that's the case.,This game is too hardcore.。 ”
"This game is hardcore, right, just this picture quality, this 100% real virtual reality, even if it's a permanent death punishment, it's normal, right?"
"Let's get back, the lord is back!"
"Wow! Can death alarm a lord? The NPC interaction in this game is too real! ”
Those players not only watched the dead [Umegawa Kuoko] strongly, but also gathered around to discuss whether [Umegawa Kuoko] could be resurrected and when to resurrect, and Sherlock's return caused some commotion among these players, and everyone quickly got out of the way, allowing Sherlock to come to the dead [Umegawa Kuoko].
Sherlock knew this dead player from another world, he was the first to come out of the portal, and he still had the green name [Umegawa Kuko] on his head, he was dead at this time, lying on the ground and not breathing, and the cause of death was obviously killed by hitting a wall from the green brain door.
Of course, there is a way to resurrect him, but he needs to go to the underworld to redeem his soul first, and Sherlock feels that instead of spending a lot of energy to resurrect him in the underworld, it is more convenient to summon a goblin again.
Just as Sherlock was about to abandon the goblin and throw his body outside the dungeon, the dungeon core "Blue" stopped him and said:
"Wait a minute, Lord Lord, this goblin soul has not been collected into the Underworld, he is still in the core, Lord Lord."
Hearing Blue's words, Sherlock focused his attention on the core of the dungeon, and sure enough, he saw a white mass floating up and down in the core, this was the soul of the goblin! However, the soul appeared to be unconscious, and Sherlock tried to communicate with him but had no response.
"You took his soul away? Even if you are a creature from another world, your soul should go to the underworld first after death, you have such a great ability? Or does this goblin have such great abilities? ”
Sherlock couldn't understand what was happening in front of him, and although he could do it, it had to take back his soul as soon as possible.
"When summoning them, a little trick, the underworld of this world will not detect or take away their souls, in fact, whether it can be called a soul is still up for debate, I prefer to call it consciousness, in short, after death, only need to repair their body, and then put their consciousness back into the body to resurrect them, of course, if the body is completely shattered, they can only send their consciousness back, and then re-summon, in the other world such an operation is called- Recreate the characters! ”
Blue said.
"This is a new feature in the core of the dungeon? I don't see any instructions in the manual, do I? In fact, as early as halfway through Blue's speech, Sherlock had already taken out the "Dungeon Operation Manual" left to him by the sales lady, but he didn't see the relevant instructions at the time of the dungeon core description.
"No, it should be said that it is my unique function, after all, I can think of combining magic and technology with each other, by the way, technology is similar to magic in another world, which can communicate thousands of miles away, can make people without magic fly into the sky, and can even instantly send their own images and voices to hundreds of millions of people at the same time!"
Blue said proudly.
Although Sherlock is very curious about the magic of the other world called "technology", he doesn't yearn for it, because Sherlock can also do these things, but the cost of magic may be a bit big, at least judging from the actions of these goblins from the other world, he doesn't have any blind thoughts about the other world on that side, it's probably the world of the madman.
Now that he knew that these things were done by Blue, Sherlock didn't ask any more, and mortals might be full of curiosity and shock about resurrection and rebirth, but as a rank demon, Sherlock had many ways to resurrect his minions, but none of the "Blue" methods came easily.
It's just that if you repair the body, it's not too difficult, Sherlock stretched out his hand and injected a trace of magic into the body of [Umegawa Kuko] lying on the ground in front of him, and soon the green head of the corpse began to recover slowly because of the damage caused by hitting the wall, and it didn't take long to return to its original appearance, and then "Blue" guided the soul, which he called the existence of consciousness, and re-injected it into the body of [Umegawa Kuko].
In the next second, [Umegawa Kuko] took a deep breath and got up.
"! Resurrected! ”
"Does the resurrection mechanism of this game require the lord to resurrect himself?"
"I thought the death number was gone!"
"Brother, how do you feel after you die, are there any running corpses?"
"Is it related to the damage to the body, you see that the lord repaired his body first, and then he was resurrected."
Everyone was talking about the resurrection around [Umegawa Kuko], and then I saw someone shouting, "I'll try it too!" Then he heroically rushed into the furnace where Simba the blacksmith was smelting, and of course he was gone.
Sherlock had a headache, he didn't expect a second player to commit suicide so soon, and he killed himself in this way, so as not to prevent more players from trying to commit suicide, Sherlock waved his hand, unleashed the coercion of his rank demon, and ordered these goblins to hurry up and continue to complete the task.
This dispersed these goblins, as for the goblin who jumped into the furnace and burned into slag, after about thirty minutes, he was summoned back from the other world by the core "Blue", and when he returned, he had changed his appearance, his name was still the same as before, but the copper coins on his body were gone, according to Blue's words, he had recreated his account.
For the strange actions of these players in front of him, Sherlock can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding.
He also wants to improve the map of the new area that Blue said, and the Bestiary, as well as the relevant update instructions on the official website, so he will not continue to supervise the work here, anyway, with or without him, the enthusiasm of these players will not have much impact, all he has to do is to demarcate a large area of construction area and work objectives, and then "Blue" will announce mining and transportation to these players as a task.
Sherlock returned to the magic prop called the computer, landed on the official website of his dungeon, and then at the suggestion of Blue, according to the words and tones of the other world, he began to edit a new announcement - [The first test of "Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom" went smoothly! Tomorrow will start a new map test - the Spider's Lair! 】
In Sherlock's view, publishing these announcements and maintaining the website is equivalent to advertising your own dungeon in another world to increase visibility, after all, it is the greatest dungeon in the future, if you don't have a little popularity, then it must not be!
The content of the announcement is mainly a map of the simple dungeon to the spider's lair drawn by Sherlock, and then it is to edit the illustrated book of the monsters that exist in the spider's lair, and the most important thing is the introduction of the monsters and the division of strength.
Like what:
[Monster Name: Underground Spider.]
Monster introduction: One of the most common creatures living in the underground world, there is no intelligence, fear of light, will take the initiative to attack most species, if you don't have a certain strength, if you see this creature alone, be sure to run away as soon as possible, because they live in groups!
Levels: 0-5
Possible loot: Spider legs, spider meat, spider silk (rare), and others.
Note: Most loot can be exchanged for currency in the dungeon core lobby. 】
[Monster name: Killer Vine.]
Monster introduction: It sounds like a plant, but it's actually an animal, usually disguised as a vine, and will attack creatures that are undoubtedly passing by, and are easy to kill.
Grade: 0-2
Possible loot: Killing vine's fur, killing vine's meat, and others.
Note: Most loot can be exchanged for currency in the dungeon core lobby. 】
In addition to these ordinary creatures, Sherlock also arranges a boss-level creature.
[Monster name: Spider Queen.]
Monster introduction:The queen of the underground spider group,Generally, there will only be one in a group.,Have a strong sense of territory.,Usually protected by a large number of underground spiders.,Usually you can't see it.,Because you've not been close to it, you'll be killed by a large number of underground spiders on the periphery.。
Level: Boss
Possible loot: Spider legs, spider meat, spider silk (rare), spider eggs (extremely rare), spider queen's hair (extremely rare), and others.
Note: The Spider Queen's hair is a magic material of interest to the Sherlock Lord, and if it can be obtained, it will gain a large amount of Sherlock Lord's opinion and reputation. 】
"While I'm really interested in the Spider Queen's hair, which sells for a good price and makes powerful armor, why do my minions give me loot and I want to raise my opinion of him and gain prestige from me?"
Although it was edited as suggested by "Blue", Sherlock couldn't help but ask his own questions.
"Because these players in the other world are different from ordinary underground creatures, they are extremely focused on their own sense of existence and honor." "You are their lord, and your favorability and reputation from you are a way for them to show their presence and honor, a sign of their love for you, and of course, having a lot of metal currency is another," Blue said. ”
Sherlock nodded, I see, this kind of flattery and intimacy between the inferior and the superior, hoping to gain attention and favor is also very normal in the underground world, but how does this way sound so much like those human knights in the surface world? They value honor more than anything else, even their own lives.
After Sherlock had edited the announcements, he double-checked that there were no mistakes in his description of the opening of the new playground, and then clicked send.
After the announcement was sent, Sherlock looked at the time, since he began to summon a hundred players from another world, it has now been more than half a day, and outside the core hall of the dungeon, most of the players from other worlds are still busy, completing various coolie tasks to obtain metal currency, and some players from other worlds have been lying on the ground without moving, of course, not dead, but asleep, according to "Blue", they are offline.
Naturally, there is no difference between night and day in the underground world, but as the owner of the dungeon, Sherlock still has a sense of time, in fact, many dungeons will imitate the surface world to alternate day and night, but Sherlock's dungeon is not large enough to alternate between night and day at this time, and he certainly does not have the luxury to this extent.
As time passed, many of the goblins outside fell asleep and "went offline", because they had not yet built a dormitory, they could only find a place to sleep, but when the construction of the dungeon was close to perfection and the dormitory for rest was built, these goblins did not have to sleep in the dungeon.
Blacksmith Simba also took out his sleeping bag, found a place where there are not many players and got into the sleeping bag, and by the way, he took a hammer and knocked out a few goblins who were curious to see him sleep, Sherlock didn't care about the fights between his subordinates, he refocused his attention on the official website, he wanted to see what the guys from the other world thought of his great dungeon.
Soon, he found the most popular and most replied post from all kinds of messy forum posts-
[The first test player broke the news, the most complete and cutting-edge "Dungeon: Eternal Realm" strategy! ] 】
