In the dark woods, a few beastmen looked around for signs of Victorians moving nearby?

Needless to say, it's Arthur and them, of course.

"They should all be robbing the Duke's Castle, and there shouldn't be many people here in the main city of Victoria."

Hoe He looked at the dead pig and did not see any signs of human activity.

After teleporting from the underground portal to the surface, they did not move in the direction of the Free City of Victoria, but moved in the opposite direction, where there were many rocks and cliffs, which were perfect for building a secret stronghold.

Arthur and the others did not build their stronghold to occupy the territory of the surface world, they just wanted to have a temporary resting place on the ground.

Their plan is to stealthily cut down trees in the surface world, and the closest place where they can sell processed wood is the Crossroads Stronghold, but the Crossroads Stronghold is still a block away from the ground.

If there is a disadvantage in the direction of the surface world near the forest, then players do not need to frequently go back and forth between the surface world and the crossroads stronghold, and can chop for a small half a day, but all the accumulated wood is placed in the secret stronghold, and then pulled back to the crossroads at one time, so that even if there are players in the surface world, they don't have to worry about the wood being taken away when they see them cutting down trees and coming to encircle and suppress.

And there is also a stronghold where you can safely go offline.

What they don't know, when they set foot on the territory of the surface world, if they have become, the first dungeon people to return to the surface world in hundreds of thousands of years.

In the dungeons of the Eternal Kingdom.

When Sherlock returns to the dungeon from the Merchant Alliance's estate, he makes a "friendly" inquiry about Frangipani.

But Frangipani didn't know a lot of things, after all, it had just been released from the seal.

But what is certain is that the Old God Legion is currently operating in a way similar to the spiritual connection between Sherlock and the players, which can also explain why the Old God Legion will rush to Winterfell City as soon as the Old God Legion attacks Winterfell.

As for whether frangipani is in the connection of this spiritual network, the answer is yes.

In other words, bringing frangipani back to the dungeon of the Eternal Realm is like bringing back the eyes and ears of the Old God Legion, something that Sherlock didn't know before.

But it doesn't matter, after some more processing, careful not to hurt the frangipani, the half-dead frangipani that has been processed has completely cut off the spiritual connection with the ancient gods.

As for this process, the parrot and the black cat were onlookers throughout the whole process, and once again saw the "gentle" side of Lord Sherlock.

But that's just the beginning.

————————————————

Cherry the Beastman sat in his office, and since a series of events, he had gone from being a captain of a garrison to being the head of a Winterfell garrison.

And the reason why he was able to become the director at such a young age was not only because of his outstanding performance in the previous volcanic events, but also because of the strong recommendation and support of Lord Sherlock and Nicholas.

In short, his future is bright.

But even after becoming a bureau chief, he often does his own work, instead of directing his subordinates, and sits in his office, such as this time Winterfell officials reported to the security team, and they encountered a special incident that was surprising.

All the wood in Forest Farm No. 4 is gone, and not only that, but the forest farm has become a barren desert with not even a few stones.

What's going on?

Cherry the Beastman looked at the desert in front of him and took a deep breath of the burning iron rod in his mouth.

"Zizi Zi ......"

He made a roasting sound in his mouth and smoked from burnt proteins.

It's like the brain in his head that is thinking.

"Director, could this have been cut down by the people of the Eternal Realm Dungeon?" As Director Cherry pondered why the trees in the forest farm were empty, a colleague next to him asked, holding a folder.

"So don't worry about your thinking, we have to make bold assumptions, bold reasoning, and bold summaries in this business."

Director Cherry said to the colleague who was speaking.

"Yes!" The colleague was obviously very lucky and proud to be able to play in front of the director, and he quickly opened the folder in his hand, and then said to the file:

"Judging from the records I retrieved, the production forest farm was leased to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon about four months ago, and the original lease period expired for one year, but they returned the site to us in advance a few days ago, and by the way, they had to leave the remaining 8 months of monthly rent, I wonder if they used 4 months to cut down the forest farm, and then in order to save 8 months of monthly funds, so they returned it to us in advance."

After the colleague finished speaking, the personnel of the security bureau on the side all gasped and expressed their disbelief and incredulity.

That's the dungeon of the Eternal Realm, it's the most promising, the most numerous, and the most powerful dungeon in the entire northern underground world, and the lord of it, Lord Sherlock, has been in and out of the upper lord's party many times, and is a veritable socialite, will such a powerful person return the forest farm in advance for 8 months' monthly rent?

"But I've heard that the Eternal Realm Dungeon was returned to the forest farm because the trees in the forest farm suddenly disappeared, and they even planned to ask us for a batch of liquidated damages."

But the staff at the forest farm quickly expressed a different opinion, and he also took out an application form, and then continued:

"You see, this is a complaint form filled out by Lord Sherlock himself, and it has a clause about the fact that we need to compensate him."

Director Cherry didn't rush to make a statement, he stretched out his hand, took the application form, and then looked at it carefully:

"Well, judging from the contents of the form, what Master Sherlock said is indeed true, because the site we loaned to him was for a year, but there were no trees in 4 months, and it is understandable that he would want to apply for compensation."

"Wait, Director."

The member of the Beastman garrison, who claimed that the trees had been cut down by the dungeons of the Eternal Realm, hurriedly said:

"If they had cut down the trees themselves, we wouldn't have to pay any compensation at all."

"It's absolutely impossible!" Almost as soon as the beastman garrison member finished speaking, the forest farm staff on the side immediately shouted loudly:

"How many people are there in the dungeons of the Eternal Kingdom? The forest farm is very large, and there must be special cutting equipment to be able to cut down, and the felling personnel are also carefully selected, we have a cooperative relationship with the largest prison, Bankazia, and the Eternal Realm Dungeon has no cooperative relationship with Bankazia, how can he have so many employees who cut down trees, let alone cut down our No. 4 forest farm within 4 months, which is absolutely impossible. ”

"Well, he's right, I don't think this should be the people of the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, I've dealt with those people, although they have some neurotic behavior is a little weird, but they definitely won't be people who have fallen to this level, I can see the wild wildness in them, and the quality of those who are eager to fight, only dungeon warriors have."

With Director Cherry speaking for these players, the others no longer have any doubts about the suspicion of the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, after all, Director Cherry is the person who solved the Black Volcano case, which is a case that is widely circulated in the entire underground world.

It's so powerful, it's absolutely impossible for a great person to be wrong, and everyone no longer suspects that this forest has been cut down by the people of the dungeons of the Eternal Realm. They began to investigate whether the trees in the forest were damaged due to special circumstances, and the Merchant Alliance also compensated for the loss of Master Sherlock and apologized sincerely.

Our Lord Sherlock was still very generous, and did not pursue the fault of the Merchant Alliance too much, but only said that if he could, he would give another forest farm as compensation, and also lease it for a year, but the Merchant Alliance did not agree to this approach, but chose to give a certain amount of magic stones and material compensation.

Something is better than nothing, Lord Sherlock thought about it, and decided to accept their compensation.

Since Sherlock's attention is not on this aspect, he has been planning a rather important matter lately, and is working hard and preparing for it.

————————————

The light of the computer screen shone on the walls in the hall of the lord, and the sound of mouse clicks and keyboards made the parrot standing in the birdcage blink, and after seeing Lord Sherlock struggling in front of the computer below, the parrot turned his head slightly, trying not to let the computer light disturb his rest, but these people could not do it.

Pineapple, the black cat who was in the nest, opened his eyes, and he also saw Sherlock struggling in front of the computer, he sighed and said to himself:

"Sherlock-sama is so hard......"

Although the voice was not loud, it happened to be the kind that Sherlock could hear, but when he saw that Sherlock did not react, the black cat Pineapple sighed again, and then lay down and tried to fall asleep again, his sycophants obviously did not work.

As for the old turtle frangipani, the body is shrunk in the turtle shell from head to tail, and there is no reaction at all.

But Sherlock was not working alone, next to him, the black dragon dog was also sitting in front of the computer, using his paws to control the mouse and keyboard with difficulty, staring at the picture in front of him without blinking.

"Pick up the lanterns! Pick up the lanterns! ”

The black dragon dog suddenly shouted, and his shout startled both the parrot and the black cat.

Sherlock's expression was focused, the speed of the mouse was already very fast, and at the same time, he kept shouting to the black dragon on the side:

"There's an eye on the lantern, I can't light it! Push it for me, help me push it, if there is a big move, if there is a big move!"

But after shouting, Sherlock left the keyboard and mouse with both hands, and at the same time covered his face and let out a "hiss-" inhalation.

"Oh, why are you eating like this? Same as Jane's lantern!"

The black dragon dog egged and complained, and Sherlock also shook his head with his eyes closed, and did not say anything.

"If it's always been at this level, we won't be able to get the king rank before the end of S9, and it's going to be over soon!"

The black dragon frowned and complained to Sherlock. He kept complaining, but suddenly reacted, the object seemed to be Lord Sherlock, but this kind of thing, as a male, it is impossible for a male to bow his head and admit his mistake, even if it is Lord Sherlock, but he still thought about it for a while, and then added:

"But I can't blame Lord Sherlock, after all, the role of this version of aDC is basically equal to nothing, why don't you practice the upper unit, isn't there a strong top laner THE SHY recently? Mistress Sherlock is working towards that goal, and I think it's easy to get there with your level of operation. ”

"Forget it, I won't be lined up tonight, let's rest early, there may be a holiday in the other world, there are a lot of elementary school students."

After Sherlock finished speaking, he turned off the computer, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the black dragon dog also reluctantly turned off the computer, and then said goodnight to Sherlock, and then walked to the corner of the room, he lay down in his lair, although the black dragon dog egg has his own special lair in the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom, but he seems to prefer to sleep in the lord's hall rather than sleeping in the lair outside.

And Sherlock didn't care that so many people slept in his lord's hall.

"Master Sherlock."

Just as Sherlock closed his eyes and recuperated, in his mind, Blue suddenly said.

"Huh?"

Sherlock responded.

"Sherlock-sama, don't you have a plan for your next step? The Old God Legion has been eyeing in the shadows, and according to what you mean, the Demon Committee doesn't seem to be very honest, you have already taken two of Roki Lang Kaimi's subordinates under your command, and even captured a frangipani, one of the former Supreme Commanders of the Old God Legion, and now Evelyn's body actually has the key person to resurrect Roki Lang Kami, such an unknown situation, ordinary people are probably so anxious that they scratch their ears and cheeks every day, but you don't seem to be in a hurry at all, these days you play qualifying matches every day, Of course, your skills are really good. ”

As soon as Blue finished speaking, Sherlock opened his eyes and quickly said:

"yes, I'll just say it's not my problem at all, my ADC is so strong, how can there be a problem?"

"Not about it, Lord Sherlock."

Blue continues:

"Do you have any plans? Do you need me to order those players to cooperate with your plan?"

"Rush into the prison where the ancient gods are imprisoned, and then directly kill the ancient gods, and then rush into the demon committee to kill all the seven demon kings, what do you think of this plan?"

Sherlock's expression didn't look like a joke, and Blue quickly said excitedly:

"It's really worthy of Lord Sherlock, I already have such a complete plan so soon, don't worry, I will definitely let those players cooperate with you highly, as long as they can be moved, the old gods can be moved, the demons believe me, whether it is the old gods or the seven demon kings, it is nothing in front of them."

Not only does Blue sound confident in the players, but he then proposes that Sherlock capture Winterfell first, use Winterfell as a base to grow their power, arm the players, and continue to train them.

Of course, this is only the first step in completing the ambition of conquering the world.

But Sherlock had no particular interest in Blue's ambitions.

After Brunt about his ambitions and plans, Blu suddenly said to Sherlock as if he remembered something:

"By the way, Mistress Sherlock, have you read the news that The Penguin Company has been sending you lately?"

"What's the news?"

Sherlock asked, confused, apparently not caring about any messages from the Penguin Company.

"It's about wanting to work with us to promote the dungeon game, and they will invest in hosting the first National Invitational."

After Blue finished speaking, the computer in front of Sherlock suddenly opened, quickly entered the desktop, and popped open a file, apparently which Blue wanted Sherlock to see.

It will start so soon, and the content of the document on the page is sent by Penguin as Blue said, and the content also provides a number of cooperation intentions and future cooperation plans, etc.

Among them, the more important point is to promote the public beta test nationwide and open overseas servers. Another thing that interests Sherlock is the 1st National Invitational, the reason why it is not a global invitational tournament is because there are no foreign servers playing the game Dungeon at present, and all of them are from the same eastern country.

"The National Invitational? Can people in this world still be able to compete? Like League of Legends?"

Sherlock thought for a moment and asked, after all, he didn't think of anything else to compete in this game other than players slashing and slashing each other in the wild, and fighting in guilds or individuals in the arena.

"I think it should be an arena game like World of Warcraft, although the competitiveness and viewing are not as good as games like League of Legends, but as the only game in the world, I think if we hold a national invitational tournament, it will be very beneficial for players to actively mobilize, and a national invitational tournament before the open beta can also start our popularity on a larger scale, after we occupy the world tree to provide enough magic for our open beta, More players can be invited to join our dungeons. ”

"Well, it sounds a little interesting, you send an email to Penguin to express that we want to try to cooperate with each other, so let them plan it in detail."

Sherlock turned off the computer and lay down again, but Blue asked:

"Then Lord Sherlock has something to do with the Demon Council and the Old God Legion......"

"I know, I'll kill them all tomorrow."

Sherlock said perfunctorily.
