-Dark City-

Long Ming and the others secretly returned to Hutton Marr and arrived at Sherlock's house without anyone knowing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Sherlock readily agreed to their request after learning about Long Ming and the others' intentions, and he simply packed up his belongings and followed Long Ming and the others to leave on Magadha.

Sherlock actually didn't negotiate terms with Long Ming and the others, which made Long Ming and the others feel very strange, with his character, he should be very shameless to blackmail?! However, Sherlock said that this is the way of cooperation of merchants, sometimes helping customers for free is for the next better cooperation, and he will not give up the opportunity to enter the Dark City, he has to buy some special products inside, and then bring them back to Hutton Marr to sell them for a lot of money, for which he brings a lot of space props and gold coins.

After returning to the Dark City, Norton came to Long Ming and them as soon as possible, and he didn't even give Long Ming and them a spaceship when he was in a hurry, Long Ming and they all wondered if Norton had never left at all, and it seemed that the secrets in the log were very attractive to him.

Seeing Sherlock again, Norton's face was very subtle, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to start to greet him. But Sherlock is not like him, Sherlock walked up to Norton very enthusiastically, and Norton's hand began to greet him, like an old friend who hadn't seen him for more than ten years.

"Don't come to this set, show me what is written in the log." Norton retracted Sherlock's hand and said, he simply took out the journal and handed it to Sherlock, he just wanted to end this relationship as soon as possible, so as not to fall into the pit of this profiteer again, why "again"? Because when he was in Hutton Mahall's backstreet, Norton was not less calculated by Sherlock.

Norton's indifference had already been expected by Sherlock, and Sherlock did not continue to shamelessly have a relationship with Norton, he took the log from Norton's hand and slowly opened the log to inspect it.

Considering that Sherlock didn't understand alchemy, Norton had completely unraveled the alchemy array inside before asking Long Ming and the others for help, so that the words in the log were all displayed.

Sherlock looked at the words on the journal carefully, as if he were an archaeologist, and he even took out his small magnifying glass to identify the goods and read the words on the journal one by one.

Looking at Sherlock's frowning brows from time to time, Long Ming and the others were also very nervous, I hope Sherlock really understands the monster text on it! Otherwise, Long Ming and the others really don't know who to find to help, with the current clues, although they can go to Neupera to investigate the clues of the plague, but in many cases, a little more clues can often avoid a lot of unknown dangers.

"How? Do you understand it? If you don't understand, give it back to me! Norton urged Sherlock, in fact, Norton also hoped that Sherlock could read the last part of the log, but he also hoped that Sherlock would not understand anything, so as not to be blackmailed by him.

Sherlock didn't respond to Norton, just continued to flip through the journal, as if he hadn't heard Norton's words at all, this guy was so attentive, it's really rare! However, this made the waiting Norton even more anxious.

After a long while, Sherlock finally closed the log, and raised his head and smiled at Long Ming and the others: "The back of this log is recorded in the language of monsters, probably because you said that Mr. Morgan recorded it when he became a corpse thief!" I'm telling you this very important information, or Mr. Morgan wouldn't have written these things with his last bit of will after becoming a corpse robber! ”

Seeing Sherlock smiling at himself with a wave of his logbook, Long Ming and the others felt a chill down their spines. Do you feel it? Here it comes! Here it comes! The profiteer's box has been opened, and this guy has already started to raise the price! I didn't expect Sherlock to really know those monster words, do Long Ming and the others want to be happy? Or is it sad?

"Say it! What are the conditions for you, a profiteer? Long Ming gritted his teeth and asked, desperately resisting the strong urge to draw his sword and look at the guy in front of him, this guy didn't say that when he got on the spaceship before, he really turned his face faster than turning a book, not only that, this guy was so attentive to the log just now must be planning how to blackmail Long Ming and them.

"Hee-hee! Little Brother Long Ming, that's ...... You see, it's very hard for an old goblin to come to your human world to do business, right? Do you think I'm asking too much? It really makes the old man very sad! Sherlock shook his head with a sad look, if it weren't for the degeneration of his tear ducts, he would have squeezed out a few tears desperately, which would have made it even more miserable.

This old shameless guy, what kind of experience made him so shameless? Long Ming and the others didn't know how to talk to him, and they all stood silently waiting for him to speak.

"Hmmm! It seems that you and you have also experienced my difficulties. Sherlock said with a happy face, stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes without bitter tears, and couldn't wait to start talking about his conditions: "Actually, one of the reasons why I agreed to you so simply is to end one of my knots. ”

"Hmm!" Long Ming and the others nodded in response, and did not ask him what kind of knot he had, so as not to fall deeper and deeper.

"A long time ago, I had a friend named Olick, who sold oil for a living, and I had a very good relationship, and together we worked together to monopolize the oil business in Huttonmal. But the good times didn't last long, and since the mutation, the world has become unstable, and the production of oil has decreased, not to mention our principality, and my friend has gone bankrupt...... Later, Orick and I received a large sum of money and said that he would go to the lava cave to find oil, and with my friendship with him, of course, I did not hesitate to lend him most of his net worth, but after a long time, I have no news of him, I don't know if he was killed or where he went...... I've heard from you that you've been to the lava cave, and I want you to make another trip to see if you can find him, and if he's still alive, bring him back, if anything happens...... Woooooo ”

"This old guy is really good at acting...... Long Ming and the others complained in their hearts.

"Alright! Then you can tell us the contents of the log first, so that we will be more motivated to do things! Ling Feng said to Sherlock, it would be better to know what those monster words were recording earlier, so as not to be blackmailed by Sherlock again.

"Brother Ling Feng, you don't know anything, the monster text in here is very esoteric, I still have to check our collection there to know exactly what is written in it, so I asked you to find my friend Orik, so that when you come back, I should be able to finish reading the log!" Don't doubt me with such eyes, I have always adhered to my basic reputation as a businessman, and I promise that I will tell you the contents of the log when you return! Sherlock swore awkwardly.

"That's a word!" Ling Feng said to Sherlock.

"Hmmm! Deal! ”

"Okay, then let's go and go back, you hurry up and decipher the log!" Long Ming and the others said, turned around and left the hotel, although it was very unpleasant to be coerced by Sherlock, but now they can only endure it if they have a request.

"Wrap it around me, by the way, Olik has always been used to carrying a strange oil can, easy to identify!" Sherlock said with a wave of his hand at Long Ming and the others.

This time Long Ming and the others went to the lava cave very easily, because with the experience of the last time, and now with the assistance of Shadow, Shadow is still very familiar with the monsters of the Dark City, which makes it very easy for Long Ming and the others to deal with, so only a day has passed, Long Ming and the others have returned to the hotel, and most of the time is spent looking for Orik in the lava cave.

"Huh! Why did you come back so soon? I haven't finished sourcing yet...... Oh, no! I'm not done yet! What about Olick!? Sherlock looked at Long Ming and the others who came back empty-handed and asked.

Lulith took out a large black oil tank from the space prop and said to Sherlock, "Excuse me, Sherlock! Olik is indeed in the lava cave, but unfortunately he has become a corpse thief and attacked us, so we have to let him rest in peace, this is the oil tank we took from him, and I will give you a souvenir of your friends! ”

Sherlock took the oil tank from Lulis's hand and put his head into the big oil tank to look for it carefully, but there was nothing in it except viscous black oil, Sherlock had to raise his head with a sad face and said to Long Ming and the others: "It's really poor Olik, I hope you can rest in peace...... By the way, did you find a money bag with my name on it? ”

It turns out that this guy took the initiative to let Long Ming and others look for Orik for the sake of his own money bag, what kind of bullshit friendship? Get out! Where is such a thing as important as Sherlock's money bag?!

"Nope!" Long Ming and the others shouted loudly in unison, they really convinced this shameless old guy.

"Don't talk nonsense, tell us what's in the log!" Ling Feng urged Sherlock.

"This ...... This ......," Sherlock said hesitantly.

"Don't tell me you haven't finished reading the log yet! My bullets aren't vegetarian! Tell you, Orik slept peacefully under the fire of my revolver, and I'll send you to meet him now! Ling Feng said to Sherlock, this time he had already taken out his revolver and put it against Sherlock's head.

"Don't, don't! There's something to discuss! Sherlock said with a panicked face, "I didn't expect you to return like this, I'm going to study it carefully at night!" If you kill me, Morgan's hard work will be wasted! ”

"Then why don't you hurry up?" Ling Feng asked.

"Okay, okay!" Sherlock immediately broke free of Ling Feng's hand, took out a worn-out book from his waist bag, and quickly flipped through it.

This guy is finally honest, and he should have used such a means before he knew it.

"That's it! I've found a way to decipher the log, Morgan is a genius! After a long moment, Sherlock said happily.

Long Ming and the others immediately gathered around him and asked anxiously at Sherlock, especially Norton: "Tell me quickly, what is recorded in the last part of the journal!" ”

"Hey, hey! Don't squeeze, I'm just saying that I've found a way to decipher the logs, not that I've finished deciphering them! What are you anxious about? Sherlock said.

"You're not playing any tricks again, are you?" Ling Feng loaded the revolver and was about to aim at Sherlock again.

Ling Feng's actions frightened Sherlock and immediately explained, "Brother Ling Feng, don't worry!! You see, the most important part of this log is recorded in the language of monsters, if this thing falls into the hands of monsters, then Mr. Morgan's plan will be ruined, in order to avoid such a situation, Mr. Morgan used a small means to deal with these words, so I will say that Mr. Morgan is too genius! But don't worry, I've found a way to unravel this means! Sherlock confidently lifted his glasses and said.

"Let me guess, you must be looking for something, right?" Ling Feng smiled flatteringly at Sherlock.

Ling Feng's words made Sherlock really blush, but he had to admit it, so he had to nod!

"Bang bang bang!" Ling Feng finally couldn't help but shoot a few shots at the ceiling: "You old guy is really shameless, let me shoot you with one shot!" ”

Ling Feng was so frightened that Sherlock had to hide under the table, but luckily Lulith reached out and stopped Ling Feng, otherwise Sherlock might have to confess here.

"Mr. Sherlock! Say it! As long as we can help, we will definitely help, but we have agreed that this is the last time! Lulith said with a smile as she gently patted Orik's oil can, "Boom! "The iron oil tank was left with a huge handprint by Luris.

It's a threat! This must be a threat! Sherlock said in his heart.

"Actually, it's just that I came in a hurry this time, and I forgot to bring something! That thing is the crystallization of Ice Ness, as long as you have this thing! I can unravel Morgan's subtle little tricks! Sherlock looked at Long Ming and the others with a panicked expression and said.

"You say that you want us to run Huttonmar again, you won't take advantage of this opportunity to run, will you?" Fist couldn't help but start to doubt Sherlock.

"No, no, no! It took too much time to run back to Huttonmar, I investigated a lot, and there are a lot of ice nays in the shallow habitat not far from the Afaria camp, you can go there and collect some! You just have to go by Magadha, and it will be solved in just a few hours! Sherlock said to Long Ming and the others, but Dinosaur Ming and the others didn't know where the shallow habitat was, and Sherlock took out the map of the Dark Elf Country.

"Shadow? Is what this guy said true? Fist asked Shadow.

"Hmmm! There are indeed some ice nets inhabiting in the shallow habitat, but they are not easy to deal with! Shadow nodded and said.

"Then let's go right away! Now it's time to find something to vent your fire! Ling Feng said angrily, he was really angry that he was so calculated by Sherlock.

After watching Long Ming and the others leave, Sherlock suddenly sat down on the ground, and it seemed that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. "Looks like these guys aren't good at fooling anymore! This should be the last chance to fool them, and if they continue to fool, it will be out of control, and it seems that they will have to be calculated in another way in the future! Sherlock thought to himself.

Because of the anger calculated by Sherlock, Ling Feng took over the harvesting task this time, and the Bingness in the Ashalvy Land was cleaned up by him one after another, and Long Ming and the others only had to follow behind him to collect the crystals of Bingness.

In less than three hours, Long Ming and the others returned to the hotel, this time Sherlock didn't dare to play tricks anymore, he crushed a crystal of Ice Ness, and then sprinkled the powder of Ice Ness Crystal on the log, and finally he used a pen to record the contents of the log while looking at the log.

"That's it! That's what the monster's words say above! Half an hour later, Sherlock handed two pieces of parchment to Norton, "I don't think there is anything I have to do now, and you don't need these worthless ice crystals, just pay the old man!" If there is anything else you need my help with next time, please feel free to come to me! Sherlock swept the ice off the table and quickly left the hotel.

After a long time, Long Ming and the others returned to Huttonmar to find that those ice nets crystals were not worthless things, these crystals were necessary materials for the enchanter's enchantment, and they often existed in the market! When Ling Feng knew this, he couldn't wait to pull the trigger and shoot himself, but he didn't expect to be calculated by the treacherous old guy at the last moment.

"Mr. Norton, what the hell is written on it?" Lulith asked Norton, who was scrutinizing the parchment.

"Hmm...... We'll wait until we meet up with Krent! I think Krent has finished developing something immune to the plague, and with this information, I think we can already go out to solve the plague! Norton said in a serious tone.

Outside the hotel, Alice was playing her piano softly, singing an unknown song, which sounded like some kind of carol, and Alice smiled softly, as if she was very happy.

The next day, Long Ming and the others followed Norton to the palace of the Dark Elves, along with Shadow, hoping to contribute her own strength to end this tragedy as soon as possible. What exactly is recorded in the journal?
