88 The Citizens of Eternal Kingdom Are Absolutely Loyal (1/2)

Brainiac's eye sockets were showing shock, bewilderment, and anger from the insult.

”Lord Sherlock, perhaps you didn't read my resume carefully. From the first year in college, I mastered summoning and control of Skeleton Soldiers. In the tenth year, I could control over a hundred Skeleton Soldiers. From the twentieth year, I started to research advanced Spiritual Mana. From then on, I produced a Spiritual research paper every year…” Brainiac spoke rapidly but was interrupted by Sherlock.

”No, it's not your ability. I'm not doubting your skill level. As a Lich, your achievements are that of a genius that appears once in a thousand years. But you are not good enough for Eternal Kingdom in terms of servitude and loyalty.”

Sherlock immediately said, ”The citizens of Eternal Kingdom may not be as capable as you, but each of them works very hard for Eternal Kingdom. Every day, once they open their eyes, they think of how to make Eternal Kingdom the evilest and greatest Dungeon. Even if they work to death, they are still smiling because they know their deaths are worthwhile—to make Eternal Kingdom the greatest Dungeon.”

Brainiac frowned and thought for a while.

After calming down, Brainiac discovered that something was amiss.

Was there… a pit that they were waiting for him to jump into?

Were his Dungeon citizens willing to sacrifice their lives to contribute to Eternal Kingdom like Lord Sherlock had described?

If that was true, how did he do it?

No, it couldn't be true. The Goblins that participated in the Specter College's graduation research were most likely drugged so that they weren't afraid to die. But they were willing to sacrifice their lives to develop Eternal Kingdom and could even smile while dying?

Brainiac's mind was in chaos.

Brainiac's instincts told him that things weren't that simple. Because, when the name Eternal Kingdom appeared, all the things relating to the Dungeon and Lord Sherlock were inexplicable.

The things that Lord Sherlock had done were illogical, but he couldn't detect that Lord Sherlock was lying.

”Young lad, I know that you attended a prestigious college and received a premium education. It's understandable that you are ambitious since you have just graduated,” Sherlock said calmly.

”These Goblins didn't attend school for fifty years like you or have your talent that appears once in a thousand years. However, I treat them as my good citizens, and they have qualities that you don't possess.”

”Go back, Brainiac. When you are ready to contribute to Eternal Kingdom, and when you have the Goblin's enlightenment, you will be welcomed by us.”

Sherlock turned around and cast a huge shadow on Brainiac.

Brainiac watched the retreating Lord Sherlock and lowered his head. He couldn't help recalling his mentor, Professor Bacon.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

In his memories, Professor Bacon taught him the proper way to appreciate the bloody chrysanthemum tea.

During late nights, he would be draped in a cloak while he checked on the poor female students in their dormitories.

Professor Bacon's voice and words flashed through his mind. Brainiac lifted his head abruptly and opened his jaws.

”… with Lord Sherlock's ambition and wealth, the future is extremely promising… Are you thinking that Lord Sherlock found some free method to increase the Goblins' intelligence and sent those Goblins to us because he lacks money?”

”… I formed good relations with him and persuaded him to collaborate with Specter College.”

When the memories appeared in Brainiac's mind, he was instantly enlightened!

If what his mentor said was true…

Brainiac focused his gaze on Sherlock's figure. All the things that had occurred flashed through his mind. Together with his teacher's words, Brainiac was sure of one thing:

All the collaborations were the result of the good relationship between his teacher and Lord Sherlock. Moreover, he was the most highly valued student of Professor Bacon. Lord Sherlock had wealth, power, and was a capable superior Devil.

So, Professor Bacon made use of the close relationship with Lord Sherlock to help him.

Lord Sherlock agreed to let Brainiac work in the Dungeon because of Professor Bacon and Brainiac's curiosity. In addition, Brainiac had to suffer during the journey. Even the administrative fee had to be paid by him.

To Brainiac, Lord Sherlock was indeed powerful since he was able to undertake the Specter College's graduating research alone.

That was Professor Bacon showing him a way out!

Brainiac felt a sense of warmth in his bones, and his image of Professor Bacon became extremely tall. Tears welled up in his eye sockets. I understand now, teacher…

”Lord Sherlock!” Brainiac shouted at the receding figure of Sherlock.
