173 Underground Forest No. 3 (1/2)

In the dim lighting, the shadow of a depressed figure was projected on the rough wall.

Without his Uranium stick, Yoda put a red hot steel stick in his mouth. Sizzling sounds were heard.

Yoda puffed out a mouthful of smoke. The steel stick from Simba was not as strong as the Uranium stick. However, he couldn't ask for more, given his current situation.

He lowered his head and pondered over the discussion he had with Sherlock.

”Dong, dong, dong.”

Door knocks were heard coming from outside.

Yoda was surprised. After the room was allocated to him, besides Simba, Mufasa, and Moroes, nobody came. The Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men were gathering outside talking, but none of them disturbed him. Their discussion made him feel uneasy.

”What's the situation? Why aren't we allowed in this NPC's house?”

”Perhaps the content isn't finalized?”

”Do you have any Bladder Bombs? See if we can bomb the house. The NPC might run out.”

”Don't you know that the previous update patch prohibited the use of Bladder Bombs within the Dungeon?”

…

Perhaps they were the violent Goblins, Gnome, and Houndhead Men?

Yoda stood up and opened the door. A Skeleton was at the door.

That was Brainiac.

”Sherlock asked me to chat with you. Can I come in?” the Lich asked.

”Please enter.”

Yoda had a good impression of Brainiac as he was his benefactor. He gave way and saw many curious creatures gathering outside. The number had dwindled though.

Brainiac entered the house with two cups of bloody chrysanthemum tea. He surveyed the interior of the house. There was only a bed.

He sat down on the bed and gave a cup of tea to Yoda as he asked, ”Do you drink?”

”Ah… thank you.” Yoda quickly took the cup of tea.

Brainiac patted the empty spot on the bed and said, ”Take a seat.”

”Oh… okay.”

Yoda sat beside Brainiac. Though Brainiac was a Lich, he felt uncomfortable sitting with a Skeleton.

”Actually, Eternal Kingdom isn't as frightening as you imagine. Lord Sherlock is an earnest and warm-hearted Devil Lord.”

Brainiac cupped his tea and continued, ”Everyone in Eternal Kingdom has a place. The content Simba has his apprentices, while Mufasa and Moroes have good jobs. They are pleased. I'm content to do my research.”
