230 Jealous Devil (1/2)
The misunderstanding in Winterfell was perpetuating. After Onionhead made his announcements, the Dungeon Lords and nobles commenced their dancing.
”Aiya, your beard looks very nicely groomed.”
”Yes, I groomed it according to a particular creature. Isn't it nice?”
”I heard your Stitches stitched on two goat's horns? Was the power increased dramatically?”
”It's good. He's able to walk on all fours and use the horns to attack. It's like installing a killing weapon.”
”I heard your Dungeon had some scandals. Your Gnome guard seduced the wife of the Stone Golem Blacksmith and eloped.”
”Hehe.”
Similar conversations could be heard everywhere.
The most popular creature was a tall superior Devil called Baron Andrew.
”Baron Andrew! It has been a long time since we last met.”
Dungeon Lord Onionhead held his glass of bloody chrysanthemum tea and walked warmly to the handsome superior Devil. He raised his wine and toasted the Devil.
”Greetings, Baron Andrew!”
”Greetings, Baron Andrew!”
The surrounding guests shouted.
The superior Devil Andrew raised his glass and toasted to the guests. He smiled and said, ”Octopus Ball was corrupted by the Ancient Gods. It was a great mistake on Eternal Fire's part. As the third successor to Eternal Fire, I can't be exonerated. Compensating Winterfell with a few billion Magic Stones is what I should be doing.”
The guests were full of praises for Andrew.
”Baron Andrew is a good creature. How can Eternal Fire make mistakes? We already dismissed Octopus Ball from Eternal Fire. He has no relationship with you. It was the fault of Octopus Ball and the Ancient Gods!”
”Yes, yes, how can Lord Andrew shoulder all the blame? Even if Andrew was an evil Devil, he compensated Winterfell with a billion Magic Stones and didn't publicize it. A superior Devil wouldn't do anything wrong to us.”
Everyone was feeling harmonious.
Andrew quickly asked, ”Yes, who is Lord Sherlock? I remember he's a superior Devil like me. He defeated Octopus Ball and saved Winterfell from the Ancient Gods.”
”He saved the entire Underworld.”
A small Devil came out to correct the mistake, and someone came up to him and slapped him hard.
”Do you know how to speak? If you can't, shut up. Baron Andrew said Lord Sherlock saved Winterfell, so it's Winterfell.”
The nearby guests agreed.
Dungeon Lord Onionhead stood out and said, ”I just saw Lord Sherlock… Ah, over there. Lord Sherlock!”
Sherlock was with the 40 gamers, Evelynn, Eggface, Yoda, Brainiac, and Senior Beast by the side of the dance floor. They were consoling Senior Beast.
Sherlock lifted his head and saw a group of creatures approaching him. A superior Devil and Dungeon Lord Onionhead were in the lead.
