Chapter 95: Network Connection Interrupted (First Update, Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Sherlock didn't tear open the letter in a hurry, but first picked up the Winterfell Monthly and sat down to himself:
"I don't remember ordering the newspaper myself......"
The newspaper is very large, and when it is unfolded, there are four large sections on one side alone, and each of the four pages has its own headline-
[Winterfell 666th event promotion, the store is 9.99% off, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, it is rare in a hundred years! ] 】
[Are you still bothered by children being naughty, smoking, vomiting blood, tired of school, and rebellious? Don't worry, the professional baby machine came out today, go down with a stick, have another one, and have no worries! 】
[Selling fakes, selling fakes, all I sell are fakes, but cheap. 】
Sherlock read it carefully, making sure it didn't contain anything he wanted, but still made a note of the store's mailing address.
【Advertisement】
Sherlock skipped over these, and the advertising part, which was not attractive to him at all, probably took up about 95% of the front and back of the newspaper.
The rest are in the small section at the bottom of the middle, where some more practical news is written.
[Winterfell recruits a performance team for the welcome ceremony, and the salary is generous. 】
[A goblin bravely rescued three small fishmen who fell into the water for ten days, two of them unfortunately died of lack of water, and Winterfell awarded them the Righteousness and Courage Award. 】
【Urgent! At the excavation and development site of the ancient ruins No. 85, a catastrophic accident occurred! 】
Sherlock glanced at the title a few times, then took a closer look at what was next:
"Yesterday night, at the excavation and development site of the No. 85 ancient ruins, a catastrophic accident occurred.
According to the official report, the excavation and development site of the ancient ruins of No. 85 was originally a gathering place for the ancestral graves of a beastman village, due to the excavation work, a large number of ancestral skeletons climbed up to resist the on-site construction, and the ancestral skeletons who were currently alarmed have reached a compensation agreement with the construction team of 1000 magic stones per household, and the merchant alliance has suffered heavy losses and reserves the right to sue the construction party for compensation.
But some professionals have pointed out that it may be a long-planned scam.
Professor Bacon, the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of the College of the Dead, who was visiting Winterfell, was forced to be interviewed by our newspaper:
[Bacon: Huh? Want to interview me? Is it okay for me to refuse? Really? You dare to threaten me? Don't don't, I know, then you can give me a mosaic of my name. 】
[Pei Mosaic Gen: Ahem, from a professional point of view, the chances of the ancestors' skeleton shelf getting up on their own are very small, so there must be an ulterior conspiracy behind this!] 】
Thanks to Pee Mosaic Gen for your time.
The follow-up situation will be followed up by our newspaper. ”
Sherlock put the newspaper down, then opened the letter on the side.
【Eternal Kingdom Dungeon Sherlock Lord (Received) - Winterfell Affairs Office】
"Dear Lord Sherlock, please tell Mr. Roxalk on his behalf, and ask him to report to the Archaeological Section of the Ancient Ruins Development and Exploration Research Committee No. 85 of the Winterfell Affairs Office within three days.
Thank you – Winterfell Office. ”
Sherlock finished reading the letter, put it away, and Bru, who was beside him, said:
"Looks like there's been a major discovery at Ancient Ruins No. 85, Lord Sherlock."
"Who knows, looking at the official report, it seems that it is just a stab at the ancestral grave of someone else's village." Sherlock clicked on the forum, holding the bloody chrysanthemum tea in one hand, drinking it leisurely, not in a hurry at all.
"Whether it's this world or another world, the words of the merchant can't be trusted with half a punctuation mark, and Lord Sherlock should know this very well."
Blue continued with a smile.
"If there is a contract, you can still believe it."
Sherlock said as he skimmed through the players' posts on the forums, and after browsing around, he saw a post by Sylvanas called-
【Network connection lost?】 What the heck? 】
And there are more than a dozen people who echoed the message below and encountered the same problem.
"Blue, is your summoning erratic?"
Sherlock asked at Blue.
"Wait a minute, Master Sherlock, I'll check the server database first." After Blue finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then quickly said:
"Lord Sherlock, according to the server records, this player named Sylvanas, as well as the rest of the disconnected players, were all attacked by the psychic magic psychic scream, and the average goblin creature will go crazy the first time according to their magic tolerance. However, the player's soul is not in this world, so the effect of this type of spell is similar to that of a broken network connection. They just have to log back in, they won't die, and they won't be hurt in any way. However, I suggest that it is better to interfere with the research of the top students. ”
Sherlock stood up, rubbed the back of his head, and walked out of the core hall.
"This student ......"
————————
In the dimly lit room, on a large piece of smoothed stone, lay a green-skinned goblin with the word "Sylvanas" on his head, and this goblin looked as if he was asleep with his eyes closed.
There was a lich on the side, holding a notebook, and carefully recorded:
“…… 21st Psychic Scream confirmed cast.
The 41st test subject, the goblin with the title of the strange text [Sylvanas], like the previous goblins, did not show a similar effect of madness after the psychic scream hit, but immediately fell asleep. (Note: The cognitive impairment that is prevalent in these goblins is not within the constant range that affects the results of the study)
Then the following speculations can be generated.
1: These goblins don't have souls, they're skeletal soldiers, but they exist in shells in this world.
However, judging from the previous biomodification experiments, as well as the highly complex social and intelligent nature they exhibited, each of them has autonomy and is not manipulated, so this is extremely unlikely.
It is impossible for the greatest high-ranking demon to simulate and manipulate a hundred goblin dolls with very different personalities for a long time.
2: They are immune to these psychic spells, and have avoided damage in a special way, with a psychic scream, which only has the same effect on them as an overdose of Sleepbugs.
If so, this will be one of the most important research topics in the future, and the tower of spiritual magic may collapse as a result, leading to a series of magical changes.
3: These goblins and Sherlock lords have signed soul contracts, and their souls are bound to the superior demons, if that's the case, it's understandable that my psychic screams are ineffective for them.
However, the lethargic effect remains unexplained.
4: Sherlock Lord may have set up area-of-effect magic that disables psychic magic or reduces its effect.
I can't say for sure for the time being, but this is the most likely one, and if I have the opportunity, I hope to be able to go to a distant place and conduct similar experiments to see the effect.
I'll look for a chance to apply next time.
5: It's my own dish. ”
After writing these research notes, Xueba sat down, observing Sylvanas and recording how long it would take for the goblin to wake up and whether it would be alive or not.
His research time was very limited, and Sherlock only gave him two days to study.
Over the course of two days, he experimented with about twenty ways to kill the goblins, then repaired their corpses, and watched them come back to life.
Without exception, every goblin was resurrected.
As for burning corpses, this is something that Sherlock does not allow.
It can be burned, but not to ashes, and the corpse cannot be completely disposed of, or undead, which, according to Sherlock, is a study that is detrimental to the interests of the dungeons of the Eternal Kingdom.
With the deepening of research, Xueba's questions about these goblins have become more and more, and the notebook that was originally specially prepared is almost completely full.
He sat down in front of Sylvanas and reviewed the experiments of the past two days, until Sherlock pushed past the goblins who were lining up in the doorway to be studied, and walked in.
Sherlock walked straight up to Sylvanas, grabbed Sylvanas from the stone with one hand, examined it, threw it out of the door, and closed the door.
Outside, the wails of the players were heard:
"Nope! It's time for my mission! I want to be blessed with darkness too! ”
"Dog Planning! There's no time to show this task, so why is it too late! ”
"Ahh I knew I was coming to line up yesterday! ”
Sherlock ignored the wails outside, and then said to the top student:
"Two days of research time is almost over, I hope you can gain something in these two days, by the way, about the processing of kobold eggs, to be carried out as soon as possible, I have a really good plan to implement, if you can, make those modified kobolds cute, eh, you know what cuteness means, right?"
"I see, Master Sherlock."
Xueba stood up and saluted Sherlock, then put away his notebook.
Sherlock was about to leave, but turned back to Xueba and said:
"By the way, have you studied the ancient ruins?"
"This is one of my research topics, and I have published relevant papers for five consecutive years, and I have gone deep into the ancient ruins of the northern underground world No. 1, No. 5, and No. 18 to conduct field research and research."
Xueba said.
"Very well, it may not be long before there is a related task to be handed to you, and you can make some proper preparations."
With that, Sherlock turned and left.
Xueba was left alone in the cemetery hall, but soon he couldn't think quietly.
Because those players who failed the mission, after following Sherlock for a while and finding that there was no plot, turned around and ran in together, hoping to find this lich to reclaim the mission.
What they faced was just a skeletal face with Xueba's expressionless face.
