"Sherlock, are you saying that some of your friends are talented in archaeology and would like to be involved in archaeological work?"

The goblin manager hesitated, and his slender green fingers tapped on the table.

"That's right, exploring this kind of ruins, it is inevitable that there will be some extremely dangerous mechanisms, Warcraft or something, if you are not an experienced archaeological talent, it is easy to get into trouble, and just to master the method of opening the ruins, you need professionals."

As soon as Sherlock finished speaking, the goblin shopkeeper nodded:

"It's just that the merchant alliance is already in charge of this matter."

"Of course I know that, I saw it on the little flyer. But the Merchant Alliance, you also know, for the upper demons, they have always been relatively conservative, if I recommend someone to go up, nine times out of ten it will not be used, it is better for the shopkeeper to recommend it, you are an expert in magic items, and a member of the Merchant Alliance, and even found the key to the ancient ruins, if you strongly recommend it, the Merchant Alliance will definitely approve it. ”

Sherlock shrugged his shoulders and saw the goblin store manager's embarrassed look, Sherlock followed up and said:

"I know it's hard for you to easily believe the devil's recommendation, but I won't embarrass the shopkeeper in this matter, and there will definitely be benefits. First, the Home Away from Home Magic Item Shop will be our partner merchant in the Dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom, and we have the right of first priority to cooperate; Second, I would like to share with you half of the loot I have gained from exploring the ancient ruins after opening up the ancient ruins. ”

Sherlock had just finished speaking, and the goblin store manager in front of him had already stood up in surprise, raised his hand and pushed the snare glasses hard, and even thought it was in the way, so he took it off directly, and looked at Sherlock with an incredible expression:

"Lord Sherlock? You just said that you would like to share the loot you gained from exploring the ancient ruins?! ”

"That's right, after opening up the ancient ruins, I am willing to share the loot I have explored with you, and I also have the right to explore, and the shopkeeper can explore with me to ensure that the distribution of the loot is absolutely fair and just."

After Sherlock finished speaking, he patted his knee and said lightly:

"You can sign a contract, you just need the goblin store manager to help recommend that archaeological expert."

The goblin shopkeeper grunted, paced a few steps anxiously, and then asked:

"Does that expert have a certificate?"

"A diploma from a higher education institution with an absolute gold content."

"Do you have any actual archaeological experience?"

"Many archaeological experiences in ancient ruins, absolutely experienced."

The goblin shopkeeper pondered for a moment, then sat down, clasped his hands in front of his forehead, and asked:

"But why? Sherlock, I don't quite understand why you would pay such a big price to recommend an archaeologist? Even though you said that you were willing to sign the magic contract right away, I still don't understand, Lord Sherlock. ”

Sherlock listened to the goblin store manager's words and spread his hands:

"As you can see, store manager, I'm not a bad money person. Actually, I'm a trouble-prone person. When I got the key to the ancient ruins before, I was fully capable of investigating the location of this ancient ruins by myself, but because of the trouble, I sold it directly, don't get me wrong, I'm not short of money, I'm just afraid of trouble. ”

"That's why I'm a little interested in this ancient ruin, but I'm not the most interested, in fact...... I've been interested in a female demon recently.,Although she's not a high-level demon.,But people are very bad.,Smoking, drinking, tattooing, perming the head and having an abortion.,Oh sorry.,You may not be able to understand these words.,Anyway, it's so bad that the soles of the feet are bubbling.,For this kind of bad girl.,I think it's necessary for me to grasp it well.,Can't let her run away.。 ”

"But you also know that this kind of girl is generally difficult to chase, and it just so happens that she has just graduated from the School of Archaeology, and in any case, I hope to be able to attract her attention, and if giving away half of the loot of the ancient ruins can create an opportunity for me to owe me a favor, I think it will be no problem at all, and it will be a good deal."

"I know what you're going to ask, don't ask, ask is that I'm amorous and golden, and if I ask, I'm uninhibited and love the harem."

Sherlock swears by it, coupled with his low-key luxury and connotative outfit, plus the identity of a demon, the owner of the dungeon, and the fact that he doesn't blink when he sells the key.

Believe it or not, the goblin store manager believes it anyway.

Besides, as long as the magic contract is signed, whether Sherlock is a liar or not, this loot is half of his!

And if you break the magic contract, the consequences can be very serious.

The goblin shopkeeper raised his head and said with certainty:

"Good! Deal, but sign the magic contract now, and as you just said, Lord Sherlock, the recommended person must have a certificate from a higher education institution and show a high level of professionalism in the work, and most importantly, Lord Sherlock, you have given me a promise. ”

"Don't worry, after opening up the ancient ruins, half of the loot I have explored will be written into the contract."

Sherlock stood up and pulled out a piece of contract paper from the pocket of his tuxedo, on which all the terms were already written in detail.

Obviously, this is a contract prepared in advance.

The goblin shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he saw the prepared contract, and then he looked at the contract carefully from beginning to end, and after letting out a strange laugh, he signed his name on the contract, and then handed the contract to Sherlock, saying:

"Lord Sherlock, if it weren't for the existence of the magic contract, I really wouldn't dare to make any deal with you, can you even think of what I will ask for in advance?"

"Well, after all, I only have an hour to come out, and there are still a large group of little ones waiting to be fed at home waiting for me to take care of."

Sherlock said casually, signing his name by the way, and then holding the contract in his hand and holding out his hand to the goblin.

"Indeed, time is money." The goblin reached out and took Sherlock's hand and the contract, and the mark of the magical contract appeared on the hands of the two of them, disappearing:

"Good cooperation, Master Sherlock."

————————————

Winterfell's simulated sunlight was still dutifully emitting heat, even making the demons and underground creatures of all levels gathered outside the [Home at Home Magic Item Shop] feel a little hot.

Of course, this heat also has a little to do with the fact that they can't reach the ancient ruins, or, a lot?

When the Home Away from Home Magic Item Shop reopened, Sherlock walked out gracefully with his cane.

He stood on a high place and glanced around, then walked away without looking back.

There was a commotion behind him.

"Lord Sherlock, I have a big doubt."

Blue's voice came to Sherlock's mind.

"Put."

"Your wave of operations is like driving a go-kart and using a drainage channel to turn around a corner, are you sure you won't overturn?"

Blue asked in a puzzled tone.

"Although I didn't understand most of your words, you seem to be questioning my decision, do you think I just lost?"

Sherlock stood on the side of the road, took off the white gloves he was wearing, and began to unbutton the neatly buttoned two buttons and unfasten his waistcoat.

The gentleman who was meticulous just now suddenly became the feeling of a dissolute rich man.

"Lord Sherlock, I know it may not be appropriate to say that, but this time the Ancient Ruins may be the best chance for us to successfully open the second test, I mean, upgrade the core." Blue's voice sounded a little confused:

"It's not clear who the archaeologist is who made you give up half of the loot, but if that person is your senior sister or some kind of childhood sweetheart, Lord Sherlock, then I, as a servant, have to give you a suggestion."

"What advice?"

Sherlock tucked his white gloves into his pocket, and stood on the side of the road and stopped a Hell's Carriage, and said to the coachman:

"Trouble, 777 [Black Shop] Hotel in the Old Town of Winterfell."

With a "snap", the carriage began to move forward.

"Lord Sherlock, please keep a clear head, I know that times are different now, and in the ten thousand years I have been asleep, there have been many incredible things that have made the once high demons begin to obey the law, and even become impoverished. But this kind of suspected dog licking behavior must stop quickly, continue like this, your road will be narrow, no, you will have no way! You went to the hotel at this time, could it be that the female demon who made you swoon over there?! ”

Blue's voice was already deeply emotional, and he continued in a rambling voice:

"Even if you don't plan to take risks, or you're afraid of trouble and don't want to explore the ancient ruins, you can sell the exploration rights, so many people outside are rushing to buy the exploration rights, you can sell millions of magic stones with your eyes closed, right? That's an ancient ruin! That goblin doesn't have to do anything, just help you recommend a girl, can you get such half of the loot? ”

"It sounds like you have a lot of resentment against the word 'licking dog'." Sherlock sat in the carriage, which swayed slightly with the moving carriage, and said:

"After listening to you complain for a long time, I probably understand where your complaint is. Do you think I'm really going to give away half of the spoils for some female creature? Or rather, why do you have the illusion that I have a good relationship with female creatures? ”

"Then the agreement you signed just now ......" Blue's voice paused, then thought carefully, and asked in a somewhat confused tone, "Lord Sherlock, are you ......?"

"That's right, just like you think, to get a fake diploma, from a university of higher learning, from archaeology." Sherlock nodded.

"But Sherlock, you've signed a magic contract, and even a high-ranking demon can't break it, right? A diploma from a university with a high gold content, if you falsify it, you will be considered a contract of illegal magic! ”

Blue hurriedly reminded.

"Breaking the magic contract? No, no, no, how can it be, anyway, I am also a high-ranking demon, and I am also a high-ranking demon who has experienced ninety years of compulsory education, why do you think that my graduation certificate has no gold content and is not from an institution of higher learning? Sherlock chuckled.

"Wait, Master Sherlock, you...... Intend to disguise yourself as an archaeologist? But why? Blue was lost in thought, then quickly said, "I see! Mistress Sherlock, you ...... You're so insidious and cunning. ”

Blue asked in a playful voice:

"But Lord Sherlock, what you just told the shopkeeper is a female demon, and the archaeologist you said you want to recommend is a female demon! But you're a man, huh? Lord Sherlock?! ”

Sherlock said expressionlessly:

"Is it written in the contract that it is a woman? No, don't you know, for the words of the superior demon, as long as they are not written in the contract, they don't even count a punctuation mark? Then a trustworthy demon like me, of course, fulfills the contract completely! ”

"I see, I see, I'm still worried, it seems that I'm too worried, but Lord Sherlock, how do you know that the goblin shopkeeper will be tempted by your suggestion, it stands to reason that he is the owner of the key, and he should also have the right to explore the ruins, right? He could have explored the ancient ruins on his own, right? Blue asked another question.

"Do you really think that a goblin shopkeeper, or a goblin shopkeeper under the name of the Merchant Alliance, can be the sole owner of the key and have full exploration rights to the ruins?" Sherlock continues:

"I'm afraid all he can get is the capital of the key plus some magic stone rewards, at most the system will give him certain benefits, tax reductions or something, the merchant alliance is an alliance, but it is not a merchant charity, and a goblin with only one shop can't be the master." So I made an offer, he would not refuse, and could not refuse. ”

"Are you a demon?"

"Yes, the Superior Demon."

Half of Sherlock's face faded into the shadows, revealing a sinister smile.

"Here we are, Lord Demon, two magic stones."

The Hellcarriage stopped, and the Beastman Coachman turned back and said.

"So expensive? Price increase? Did you take me on a detour? ”

…………

"Smack!"

The Hell's Carriage departed behind Sherlock, and in front of Sherlock was the inn [Black Shop] that he had visited when he had last met Professor Bacon.

At the entrance of the [Black Shop], it was a little deserted as last time, and the signboard of the magic light showed a very ambiguous red light.

Sherlock tugged at his collar, put his hand in his pocket, and walked towards the [black shop] in front of him.

However, Sherlock paused slightly when he saw a green-skinned female beastman standing against a stone wall on the side.

The female beastman saw Sherlock's pause, squinted her eyes, stepped on her heels, twisted her bucket waist, and swayed something she didn't know what to do, and walked over bewitchingly.

Throwing a wink at Sherlock:

"Pretty boy, do you want to get a certificate?"

(Logically, it should be updated separately.) But considering the reader's reading experience, plus this is a very important part of describing Sherlock's character and shaping the protagonist's character, it will definitely have a great impact if it is separated, so it was decided to put it together and send it directly. Today's second update, the third update, sent together! ）
