377 Changing Race to Orc (1/2)
Sherlock opened the letter.
”Respectable Lord Sherlock:
We followed your instructions and checked on Morgan's finances for the last three months. The Dungeon that he bought is a Level 3 Dungeon close to Winterfell. He didn't recruit any of the citizens from the purchased Dungeon. Instead, he dismissed them.
He also prepared 100,000 sets of equipment, 10 Magic Cannons, and various Mana Scrolls. We were fortunate enough to obtain some equipment and used a Magic Recorder to secretly take some pictures.”
Sherlock took out the pictures that depicted a Gnome holding a huge Helmet that was one-third the height of a Gnome. Besides the Helmet, there was a huge set of Armor, a massive Shield, and an outrageous Pike. However, they were too small for a Giant.
After all, a Giant was ten meters tall.
Sherlock continued reading the letter.
”According to my initial speculation, the equipment is for Ogres. We are still investigating the details.”
The letter was without any names. A strange symbol flashed before the letter incinerated by itself, leaving no ash.
”Lord Sherlock, this is getting serious. The 100,000 sets of equipment are for Ogres, and the citizens of the Dungeon were dismissed. Considering the close relationship between Andrew and the Ogres, Morgan may be in cahoots with them as well. Eternal Kingdom only has 5,000 gamers. To fight against 100,000 Ogres is a bit difficult…”
Bru said worriedly, ”The only way out is to kidnap Nicholas and take control of Winterfell. Using the Winterfell Garrison Guard is our only hope. Once the Garrison Guards are all defeated, our gamers can occupy Winterfell. Remember to take over the Dungeon Core so that I can level up again. The Merchant Alliance won't know what happened to Winterfell, and to stabilize the Northern Underworld, they will arrange for a new Dungeon Core, and we can hijack the Dungeon Core once again to form a positive loop!”
”Have you drank too much bloody chrysanthemum tea?” Sherlock asked with concern.
”No, Lord Sherlock. I have no idea how to defeat the 100,000 Ogres.”
Sherlock pondered before saying, ”If their opponents are Orcs, then it's possible.”
”Lord Sherlock's intention is?”
”We commenced the Third Beta Testing some time ago. Due to other matters, we delayed the Orc profession. Isn't it a good time to roll it out?”
Sherlock ordered Bru, ”Assign the mission. All non-Goblin gamers with Weapon Level and Reputation Level 3 can accept a second profession change mission to become an Orc! The details are as follows…”
…
[Mission Title: Profession Change, Orc
Mission Description: You have proven your worth. Lord Sherlock will allow you to breakthrough by becoming an Orc.
Mission Objective: Work hard for 0/24 hours and submit 0/10 units of materials.
Mission Reward: You will become an Orc.]
All of the Houndhead Men and Gnomes received this mission.
The Mission Objective was negligible compared to the previous ones. The gamers were only required to work for 24 hours and submit Spider Legs and Spider Meat. They could easily obtain the materials from the marshes of the Marsh Inkspewers, the Spiders' Lair, the Sighing Wilderness, and even outside the Winterfell Gates.
The most tedious item was the 24 hours of carrying bricks.
However, for the hardworking gamers, it was nothing.
It was only a single day! Work for it!
…
24 hours later.
”Don't stop me, I can continue working…”
NotWearingPants was feeling dizzy. Even though he was in a game, he could feel the drowsiness. It was rare for him to work 24 hours carrying bricks.
NotWearingPants noticed that he had completed the mission in his Mission Panel, so he hurried over to the Dungeon Lord Main Hall.
