413 The Exploratory Tour of the Black Volcano (1/2)
The shopkeeper was speaking incessantly when a bystander shouted, ”Let us go in! Let us go in! We're the involved party!”
Cherry was recording the testimony of the eye witness, the boss of a teahouse, when he heard a loud shout. He frowned because it was from a group of citizens from Eternal Kingdom.
A Garrison Guard walked towards them and asked, ”You're the involved party? What involved party?”
”We were killed in the explosion! That was a Gnome terrorist! There must be a conspiracy behind this!” Peasant shouted loudly.
…
”Cherry! There's no time! Cherry, there's no time! Letter! Find the letter!”
In the images, a dark red-skinned Gnome shouted before he exploded. Then, the images stopped.
”Lord Sherlock, this incident isn't simple.”
Sherlock replayed the images as Bru said, ”They're using suicide bombers. We don't know the intention of the other party, but they are against us. As they are in the shadows, it isn't good for us. I suggest we attack Winterfell and occupy a strategic location.”
”I have the opposite viewpoint. From the images, the Gnome was affected by a curse or delayed Mana, and the gamers simply happened to meet him,” Sherlock said.
”Is that so? Winterfell is lucky to escape another calamity. This matter is related to Cherry. Could it be his enemy?” Bru asked curiously.
”I don't know. We'll keep the development in view and let those Garrison Guards handle it. Prepare for the trip to the Black Volcano tomorrow. Search for all possible survivors. Don't forget about the Dungeon Core that might not have been transported out,” Sherlock reminded Bru.
”I understand, Lord Sherlock.”

Lilo sat in the Castle and observed a few Human Knights fleeing. A group of gamers of Victoria City stood at the entrance of the village, watching the Knights leaving.
A few gamers wanted to follow, like Hoodlum, but they were restrained by Lilo's dominant aura. The Mana of the gamers in Victoria City came from Lilo, so she was able to control them.
”Duchess Lilo, do you know the consequences? I've heard about the Duke of York, he's a cruel Lord Overseer. He'll do anything to achieve his goals. Though I don't know why he sent those Knights, before we show our animosity, we should negotiate with them,” Lancelot suggested as he stood before Lilo.
”Sir Lancelot, perhaps you weren't present during the incursion. Those Knights struck first, and we were restrained in our actions,” Big Boss said from the side.
”We didn't harm them. Didn't they leave intact?” Second Boss pointed to the images in the crystal ball. Those fleeing Knights were in their underwear.
”It's not a matter of being intact…”
Lancelot hesitated for a while, not knowing how to put it.
”Mealtime?” Fat Otaku stood by the side and gazed at his two brothers.
”Wait, did you mention Sir Lancelot just now?” Second Boss didn't bother with his brother. Instead, he looked at Big Boss.
”Yes,” Big Boss replied.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”According to my understanding, Lancelot can't be called Sir because there's no feudal nobility. Lord Sherlock taught us before. Did you forget?”
