”Do you think that it's going to be a theme park? Why would Lord Mammon waste so much money to build a theme park?”
”Perhaps there's treasure underneath the farm?”
”Shh, keep it low. There are ears around.”
”Ho, ho.”
The voices stopped as Sherlock arrived at the source—a portable toilet with a single cubicle.
The toilet door opened, and two Gnomes came out and looked around. Then they adjusted their pants and tightened their belts. Under the gazes and finger-pointing of the surrounding gamers, they left in a huff.
”Lord Sherlock, this is a piece of important information.”
Bru said, ”Are these two Gnomes reliable? Why would Devil King Mammon tell his secret plan to the Gnomes?”
”Of course not, but what the Gnomes said makes sense. Devil King Mammon wouldn't waste so much effort to build a theme park. I wonder what Mammon is up to,” Sherlock said as he watched the two Gnomes leave.
”Indeed, but there's nothing suspicious at the construction site. Perhaps, this site is a diversion?”
Bru commented, but Sherlock didn't reply to him.
Like Bru had said, the legalities of the construction site were properly handled. The construction site even employed the gamers of Eternal Kingdom. Only the gamers knew whether the construction site was excavating treasure or doing some unscrupulous schemes.
The thousands of gamers who worked for several days didn't find anything unusual.
It was as though Mammon was doing something mischievous but that nobody knew what he was doing. It was hard to bear such a mystery.
”Perhaps Devil King Mammon wants to do something meaningful for the Underworld? Perhaps, his childlike nature has been awakened!”
Bru commented, but Sherlock didn't reply because even Bru didn't believe it.
”There must be a conspiracy. But what exactly is the conspiracy?”

Golden-haired George awoke in fright in his bed.
Sunlight poured in from the window at his side and illuminated his body. Beside him were many soldiers of the Godly Kingdom who were sound asleep. Only a noble such as George would have the privilege of sleeping on a bed.
There were too many soldiers of the Godly Kingdom who were freed, and Victoria City was overcrowded. It was a blessing that the prisoners were given lodging.
George sat up and cleared his mind. He then looked at the window and was taken aback.
There were many Elves, Fairies, and Humans outside.
