Knowing that he had prevented Asadron's resurrection, Sherlock could clearly sense that Ipugil's tone was much friendlier.

In fact, he was going to find a chance to mention this matter, but now that it comes out of the mouth of a third party, Karami, the effect will be a little better.

Coupled with a barbecue and five barrels of wine, Sherlock finally made his request.

"The perforated stone pillars of the Altar of Sandakor, this thing is not easy to shape." Ipugil said with his teeth picked.

"That's why you need to do it yourself." Sherlock finally held back a sycophant.

"But I don't have time." Ipugil muttered.

Well, a dragon says he doesn't have time, and that's probably the funniest joke Sherlock has ever heard in a while.

You've just slept for a year, okay?

Sherlock was sneering in his heart, but he said with a smile: "With your craftsmanship, a dozen perforated stone pillars can be done in a few days, as long as you want, I can provide white-footed centipedes and fire pine rock wine every day, or if you have any other requirements, I can find a way to meet them." ”

This kind of thing is always rejected outright, and his stone carving is just a matter of interest, so he doesn't want to help others carve something.

It's just that he can't refuse directly, so he can only give the other party a chance: "If you win the two of us in tomorrow's joke conference, I can consider helping you." ”

"Uh...... All right! Sherlock smiled wryly and agreed.

His worst thing is probably telling jokes, but looking at the way Ipugil looks, it is clear that there is no other choice.

As if seeing Sherlock's difficulty, Karami followed, "Lord Ipujir, if I win, you can help him too, okay?" ”

"Yes, but if I win, you'll have to stay with me for a year."

"Karami, you don't have to ......," Sherlock had not finished speaking.

Karami had already smiled and responded: "No problem! ”

Then he turned to Sherlock and said, "It's only been a year anyway, and I'm not sure I'm going to lose!" ”

"That'......" Sherlock sighed and didn't say anything more, "Thank you." ”

He said no, but in his heart he still hoped that the other party would agree.

After all, he really didn't have any confidence in telling jokes.

"Thank you, you saved my life." Calami replied with a grin.

……

The next morning, when everyone and the dragon were disgusted by Sherlock's preserved egg worm porridge, the joke contest officially began.

As surprising as yesterday when I learned that the little dwarf beauty Karami was the other contestant, the judge of the competition turned out to be the silly-looking barbarian Barak.

This development is somewhat unexpected, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

The barbarian race has always lacked a sense of humor, and its brain response is half a beat slower than that of ordinary people, and many jokes may not be understood even if they are understood.

But because of this, the joke that can make them laugh out loud is really funny.

In this respect, Barak is indeed the most suitable candidate.

And if he wasn't going to be a judge, he wouldn't have had to come to this competition every year.

After all, this barbarian doesn't look like a person who likes to listen to jokes.

The joke contest sounded child's play, but it was about his voter mission, and Sherlock had to take it seriously.

The format of the competition is very simple, it is to take turns to tell jokes to Barak, a total of five rounds, and whoever makes Barak laugh more and for a longer time is the winner.

Sherlock had been scouring the Internet for several jokes that were said to be 'laughing at the dead', but after the first round, he was too embarrassed to say anything more.

Compared with the rich means of expression of the other two, his jokes were no different from poetry recitation, and even he felt a little cold afterwards.

"A long, long time ago, three halflings picked up a treasure map and a key, and they finally came to the location of the treasure after all odds......"

"There are two miserly human merchants in Weplintara, and one day they walked into a bakery together......"

……

Ipugil and Karami use their bodies and words to constantly paint story after story.

The content of the story is interesting, and the key is that the way they express it is really funny.

Ipujir's hard dragon face was squeezed out of all kinds of facial skills by him, and with his huge and mighty body, this contrast brought strong laughter.

Karami's best thing is imitation shows, obviously without using any transformation spells, but she can completely imitate the personality of the race's profession, as if the people in the story have come out.

Sherlock had laughed so hard that he didn't have the heart to think about winning or losing.

On the side, Cindy, a female star who has always paid attention to expression management, is also blocking her face, for fear that others will see her distorted facial features when she laughs.

Only Barak, from beginning to end, looked thoughtful, with only a smile on the corner of his mouth, but no real smile came out.

……

"Hahaha......"

It wasn't until the final round, when Karami finished telling her last joke, that Barak finally laughed.

Although Ipugil lost the game, he didn't see him a little depressed, but laughed together and said, "Calamy, you are much more interesting than the old man of Rhonda." ”

"Did I win?" Karami said excitedly.

"Obviously."

"Can you do Sherlock a favor, then?"

"This ...... I think about it. ”

"Master Ypjir, at such an old age, he still cheats, and he promised to help if he said that we won." Calami shouted.

"Who said that I cheated, I said before that I would consider it if you won, but I didn't say that I would definitely help." Ypgill said.

Sherlock had known this play on words for a long time.

It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and he is really not qualified to ask too much.

The second is that he is sure that the other party will not really cheat.

After all, the other party is a chaotic and kind red bronze dragon, and his favorability has also been brushed to a positive number.

"Do you have any more requests?" Sherlock asked duly.

Ipugil looked at him for a moment and said his conditions: "Fourteen perforated stone pillars, one natural week should be able to do it, you are responsible for the wine and barbecue, and the taste cannot be worse than yesterday's." ”

"No problem!" Sherlock readily agreed.

Yesterday's meal cost him nearly 10,000 gold coins, at least 70,000 gold coins in seven days, which is almost half a year's income for an ordinary player.

It's a little more expensive, but compared to the perforated stone pillars, compared to the voter task, it is definitely worth the money.

If he hadn't even saved Karami before, he wouldn't have even had the chance to spend this money.
