330 Sherlocks Suggestion (1/2)

”It has been a long time since we last met, Lord Sherlock. I hurried over once I received your letter. I must say, I didn't expect Eternal Kingdom to expand so rapidly. It's only a matter of time before Eternal Kingdom overtakes Eternal Fire,” Professor Bacon said as he drank some bloody chrysanthemum tea, which dripped down his bones and splattered on the ground.

”Managing a Dungeon is a hobby of mine. I have other businesses to manage, and they are making me dizzy.”

Sherlock sighed and looked tired.

”You have to clean up the mess left by the Merchant Alliance as well. Hahahaha, I'm joking.”

Bacon cracked a joke casually. One was a superior Devil, and the other was a Specter. They weren't of the same faction as the Merchant Alliance.

”Creatures are unpredictable nowadays. Many of them don't know the cruelty of war and want to create trouble. The young lads are getting out of hand,” Sherlock said with a heavy heart and talked like an elder.

”Yes, the age of war…”

Bacon looked like he was recalling the past.

”I asked you here regarding this matter.”

Sherlock massaged his temple, while Professor Bacon leaned forward and asked, ”Is it regarding the Merchant Alliance? How can I help you?”

”No, it's about war.”

Professor Bacon was shocked, saying, ”War? Did a Dungeon declare war on Lord Sherlock? This is shocking.”

”It's not a war between Dungeons. The Devil Management Committee won't allow private wars. No, I'm referring to the creatures from the Surface World.”

Sherlock said, ”My Dungeon is close to the exit to the Surface World. I suppose Professor Bacon already knows about this?”

”Yes, I know. It's about a day's journey. I'm worried for you,” Professor Bacon said with a frown.

”I'm worried about it too. I arranged for my collaborative partner to deal with the situation after a group of Humans discovered the entrance.”

Professor Bacon was dumbfounded.

”Deal with the situation?”
