48 Pom, Ka Cha, La Cha (2/2)
”Let's go, my servants. From now on, you'll represent Eternal Kingdom. Talk less, do more work, and don't touch anything.” Sherlock broke up their banter and brought the Goblins into the manor as the goat-horned Devil gaped in shock.
The goat-horned Devil looked questioningly at the Werewolves at the side, but they only shook their heads.
Once Sherlock and his servants left, a Goblin bellboy led Sherlock's elderly Beetlemon to the designated place to rest.
Arthur, NotWearingPants, and Sylvanas weren't bothered by the goat-horned Devil. There were many Devils and Underworld creatures to see at the sides. Some were Devils like Sherlock and had huge wings. Others were Devils with strange faces. Normally, their heads would have strange things. Goat horns were quite common.
The number of Devils was small, while there were many more Underworld creatures, such as ten-meter-tall Giants, Stone Golems, Minotaurs, Succubi—who wore high heels, revealing clothes, and had long slender tails—and other mystical Underworld creatures that the gamers hadn't seen before.
”Gosh, they are going to be blown away by what we saw.”
”Hurry, take pictures.”
”I'm vexed that I can't take pictures in the game.”
”Would you carry out your mission properly? Stop talking.”
The three gamers continued bantering, though they lowered their volume. NotWearingPants and Sylvanas whispered to each other incessantly.
Taking the stairs up, Sherlock looked prominent with Goblins as servants. Before he arrived at the entrance to the Main Hall, a Sludge Monster in a wet Tuxedo slithered over.
”Lord Sherlock! Lord Sherlock!” the Sludge Monster shouted as he dashed towards Sherlock.
Sherlock was stunned and looked at the Sludge Monster, whose Tuxedo looked familiar. All Sludge Monsters looked the same, so it wasn't easy to identify them.
”I am Baron Nicholas' butler. The Baron ordered me to wait here for Lord Sherlock. We have met before, Lord Sherlock.” The Sludge Monster bent forward and bowed to Lord Sherlock.
Sherlock remembered the butler and bowed as he took off his hat.
An irritating voice was then heard.
”Lassie's plot?”
”We should be able to see Lassie soon since his butler is already here. Is he a Sludge Monster or a Slime?”
”Shh, stop talking.”
The Sludge Monster was embarrassed and asked Sherlock, ”Lord Sherlock, Lassie is…”
”It's alright. Don't worry about them. Why did the Baron have you wait for me? Is the Baron here too? Isn't he on his business trips?” Sherlock waved his hand and said.
Before the Sludge Monster could reply, the irritating voice came from behind again.
”What's that? Did the Sludge Monster react to my conversation? Yes, Lassie is the pet name for your Baron.”
”Is this your first day knowing that the NPC could interact with you?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
”Please stop talking. The mission says that we can't talk. The Sludge Monster is looking at us. What if we fail the mission?”
NotWearingPants and Sylvanas stopped talking after Arthur reminded them.
”So it's a pet name. Baron was right. He received great hospitality while he was at Eternal Kingdom,” the Sludge Monster said.
”Lord Sherlock, as you know, Nick… Baron Lassie is also part of the Merchant Alliance. Though the Baron didn't manage to come back, he was concerned about Lord Sherlock. That being the case, he assigned me to wait for you and then lead the way.”
The Sludge Monster said respectfully, ”Lord Sherlock, welcome to the Dungeon Lord Experience Sharing Conference.”
