291 How Was Sherlock? (2/2)
”I remember you. You're Sherlock's secretary.”
Lilo looked at Evelynn and asked, ”Where's Sherlock? Why isn't he here?”
Evelynn was about to speak when Eggface stopped her. Eggface walked in big steps and stepped in front of Evelynn. He said, ”Greetings, I'm Sherlock's secretary, the King of Darkness, the Master of Devil Flames, and the all-knowing and capable Dragon…”
”Are you Eggface? I heard Sherlock mention you. I didn't see you when I went to Eternal Kingdom,” Lilo said.
”Wait, she came to Eternal Kingdom?”
Eggface looked bewilderedly at Evelynn and asked, ”Why don't I have any impression?”
”You were in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. I heard you were doing work,” Evelynn explained in a low voice.
”I see…”
Eggface nodded, and Lilo said, ”Sherlock said you are a small Black Dragon with the potential to become the strongest Black Dragon and be our vanguard in the conquest of the Heavenly Kingdom. But looking at you… you'll need a few hundred years to mature.”
”Wait, what conquest is that?”
Eggface was befuddled as he said, ”Conquest of the Heavenly Kingdom! No, no, no. Though I'm the King of Darkness, the Master of Devil Flames, and the all-knowing and capable…”
”Eggface, we're not here for the conquest.” Evelynn interrupted Eggface before he finished speaking.
Eggface wanted to continue speaking, but the gamers were chatting too noisily.
”Wah, why is there so much dialogue in the Plot?
”Please hurry up. We're going to the next stage of saving Sherlock!”
”That's hilarious. Thank goodness that this is a game. If it was the real world, with such lousy skills, I'm afraid Sherlie's wouldn't be coming back.”
”What's the deal with the relic? It made our Sherlie disappear.”
Lilo frowned when she heard the gamers. She asked, ”What did you say? What happened to Sherlock?”
…
In the Orc village, which was three days journey from Winterfell.
After Andrew's suggestion, the gamers agreed to open the gates. Of course, that was after receiving the Magic Stones and the stripped equipment from the Winterfell Garrison Guards.
What about the food? The winter clothing? And the reporters' interviews?
Get lost. The gamers didn't want any obstruction to their missions!
Wait. Interviews? That could be done.
”Greetings, I'm Winterfell's reporter. I'm honored to interview you. Are you…” asked a Gnome reporter as he looked at the surrounding group of green-skinned creatures. It wasn't practical for him to interview so many creatures.
”I'm from the Dragon Raja Guild,” said the leading Gnome, btkangren.
”Dragon Raja… Guild? Aren't you from Eternal Kingdom?”
”Eternal Kingdom? That is the name of the Dungeon. The Guild is different from the Dungeon. Our next goal is for our members to build a new Dungeon!” btkangren said happily. Just as he finished speaking, a nearby group of creatures came over with malicious intent.
They had the words ”Meat Vegetable Rice Alliance” above their heads.
The Gnome, btkangren, pushed the reporter away and shouted to the gamers behind him, ”Prepare to fight! Get more people! Where is OrangeSkin? He isn't online? Call him and get him here!”
