58 Initial Agreemen (1/2)

Professor Bacon put the piece of paper from Sherlock in his pocket and exhaled before saying, ”I thought Lord Sherlock was going to kill me. You only needed to use a simple illusion…”

”That was for dramatic effect. Apologies for scaring Professor Bacon.” Sherlock waved his hand.

”It was hard on you, Lord Sherlock. You have to play these games with the Goblins… To be honest, it's shameful.”

Bacon's cheekbones blushed.

”Ai, you might not believe me. They're like my family members. As long as they are living well, I'm not bothered whether it's shameful or not. Yes, what do you think of the Goblins becoming the combatants for the Liches?” Sherlock exhaled and said.

”Lord Sherlock, this batch of Goblins are pretty good, though their brains don't seem right. As combatants for the graduating Liches, I mean research assistants, there's no problem. Brains aren't required as long as they can fight and are fearless. The Goblins have proved themselves worthy. Don't you worry,” Bacon nodded and said.

”Professor, I'm relieved. Since the Goblins are qualified, can we discuss the details of the graduating research? Let's go to my office,” Sherlock said as he made Bacon invisible.

”Of course…”

Both of them chatted as they strolled to Eternal Kingdom.

The gamers returned to Eternal Kingdom in a hurry. They chatted excitedly about the Plot Animation along the way.

Lord Sherlock had said that he would tell everyone the details once they returned to the Dungeon.

The gamers returned to the Dungeon happily and looked for Sherlock. When they saw him, Sherlock's head had a large word, ”Shh”, and they were puzzled. Sherlock said, ”Once I recover my power, I'll tell you.”

Then he shut the Dungeon Core Main Hall.

Sherlock was busy discussing the graduating research with Professor Bacon, so he was unable to tell stories to the gamers.

To deal with the gamers' questions, Bru announced a full-service mission:

[Full-service mission: Protect the vulnerable Devil Lord Sherlock

Mission Description: After the battle with Ba.Mannoroth.Con, Lord Sherlock is very weak. Ba.Mannoroth.Con's evil legion could attack Eternal Kingdom anytime. Heroes of the Eternal Kingdom, take up your weapons and protect Devil Lord Sherlock! (Please note that gamers are not able to request revival during the mission period.)

Mission Reward: Those who carry out the daily construction mission will receive double rewards.]

All the gamers went into an infrastructure madness as they carried bricks diligently. What about the Main Plot Mission?

It was alright, let Sherlock rest for a while!

The gamers mined ore with their pickaxes diligently. They carried the ore stones and cut the stone slabs to cover the ground in order to complete the construction missions and earn double rewards.

In the Dungeon Core Main Hall.

There was a table with original wood color and two wooden stools. It wasn't poor, it was simple.

Bacon wasn't used to such an environment. He sat on the stool and placed both of his hands on the table. He tapped the table with his finger bones.

Sherlock brewed a cup of bubbling crimson chrysanthemum tea and sat down.
