The Slime quickly said, ”250,000 Magic Stones.”
”350,000 Magic Stones.”
”Deal.”
Sherlock took out his Magic Stone card and passed it to the Slime, who also took out his card. They completed the sale.
”Yes, Lord Sherlock.” The Slime adjusted his chair slowly and slumped comfortably into it. He said, ”The son of the Grand Duke is coming to Winterfell. Don't you want to meet him? I heard you have good relations with him? He is looking for you. That is the information I received.”
”Which Grand Duke's son?” Sherlock asked puzzled.
”The son of the Grand Duke, Alexandria,” The Slime said. ”They are announcing the coming of Alexandria to Winterfell daily.”
”I've read about it in the newspapers. Hmm, I know him. Actually, I'm not that close to him. Is he looking for me? Is there a reward?” Sherlock asked.
”I don't know about that. You know that my trade is not aboveboard. I don't usually bother with such news,” the Slime said.
”That's a pity.” Sherlock took out a round Adamantine rock from his pocket and passed it to Slime as he said, ”This is the transaction fee.”

The black tunnel was illuminated by the faint light-emitting vines, which provided visibility of up to 100 meters. Beyond that, nothing was clear as it was too dark.
A group of gamers gathered at the exit of Eternal Kingdom. It was a newly opened exit.
It wasn't far from the Spiders' Lair tunnel, but it had always been out of bounds to the gamers. The gamers could see it, but they were unable to use it.
Previously, a Second Beta Gamer passed by this area. He wanted to see if there were any newly released areas or if there was a BUG that would allow him to exit. What if the development team had installed the exit?
The gamer tried his luck, and he went out of Eternal Kingdom.
The news spread like wildfire, and a new announcement appeared on the discussion forum:
[”Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom” Update Log Version 0.18]
”'Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom' Version 0.18 Official Update:
Released new unknown map: Eternal Kingdom was never a safe place. There are various dangerous Underworld creatures and terrifying Magical Beasts. The Spiders' Lair is only a basic training ground. The citizens of Eternal Kingdom, the heroes of the Underworld, the northern areas of the Dungeon are opened up for you. You may explore freely!
1: The new area map will be updated live according to data submitted from the gamers because we don't know what is in the area. Really.
2: The new area map is extremely dangerous. Gamers with lower than Weapon Level 3 are not encouraged to explore.
3: Please don't venture out too far because the Revival System only works within Eternal Kingdom.
4: All of the natural environment can be destroyed and is irreversible. Please don't make things difficult for yourself by destroying the path permanently.
5: Do not expect to encounter any NPCs. We made a trip. There are only Underworld creatures and Magical Beasts that will devour you.
6: If you discover Magical Beasts, return to the Dungeon and report them at the first instance or make a post on the discussion forum. There will be rewards. The same goes for Underground Forest.
7: I will leave this open. I will add more details when I am ready.
Removed the area, Ancestral Ruins: The citizens of Eternal Kingdom have rescued the Ancestral Ruins, so we removed this game area. Gamers are denied entry.
