71 I Am Asking a Question (2/2)
The Gnome shopkeeper was desperately trying to maintain order. As he had a small build, the tall Vampires, Liches, and Devils overshadowed him, including his voice.
Sherlock held his cane and knocked it against the ground.
The sound wasn't loud, but Mana was broadcasted. The rowdy scene became quiet.
The Devils and monsters turned to look at the classy Sherlock with his folded wings.
This was a superior Devil.
”Lord Sherlock!”
The surrounded Gnome shopkeeper looked as though he had found his savior. He held on to his high hat and ran down the steps towards Sherlock.
Sherlock nodded to show his respect to the surrounding Devils and creatures. Then he walked gracefully with the Gnome up the steps and entered the shop.
After Sherlock entered the shop, the rowdiness broke out behind him.
”Everyone, please leave! There are no more places for exploration rights. I know everyone would like to participate, but I can't make a decision. If there are places, I will auction them. I have a guest, please come again next time,” the Gnome said helplessly and shut the main door immediately. The rowdiness continued outside.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
”Pa Ta.”
The Gnome adjusted his monocle and snapped his fingers.
Magical brilliance engulfed the shop, and the outside rowdiness faded. The shop was quiet again.
”Lord Sherlock, what drink would you like? Bloody chrysanthemum? Bufotenin Milk?” As he asked, his crooked body moved towards the counter.
”Bufotenin Milk for a change.”
Sherlock found a chair to settle down.
”Lord Sherlock, you look different from last time.”
The Gnome placed a brewed cup of green and bubbling Bufotenin Milk in front of Sherlock with a creased smiling face. It was a stark contrast to his previous panicky composure.
He was referring to Sherlock's clothing.
”Let's not talk about me. Was the Ancient Ruin found?”
Sherlock placed the cane on the chair rest as he took the Bufotenin Milk gracefully and placed it on his knee.
The Gnome adjusted his monocle and said excitedly, ”I've roughly located the place within this time period. It was fast. I thought I would have to spend several years. We're lucky to find it this fast, but it cost quite a number of resources and Magic Stones…”
The Gnome looked at Sherlock and said, ”Lord Sherlock, don't worry. When we signed the agreement, you still retained your exploration rights.”
”I'm here today to find out about this matter,” Sherlock sipped his Bufotenin Milk and said.
