572 My Benefits (2/2)
…
Victoria City had a slew of successful battles. Even though he knew that the gamers had incredible combat power, it was better than what Sherlock expected.
Within a short period of time, the gamers used various ways to infiltrate the Godly Kingdom, recruiting the natives into their army. They even constructed a Teleport Portal near the Royal Capital. Though the Teleport Portal wasn't large and had limited capacity, it helped the gamers gain a foothold in the southern region of the Royal Capital. Before the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom had the chance to retaliate, the gamers had constructed a medium-sized Stronghold.
A fierce battle broke out at the Stronghold.
Sherlock wasn't very concerned since it was an affair of the Surface World. He didn't care about the outcome since his base was Eternal Kingdom.
Eternal Kingdom also had some successes in their recent battles. The Hades Devil army was trapped in the farm by the gamers.
In order to be the first one to defeat the Hades Devil army, the gamers strove very hard to attack the enemy continuously. However, their overwhelming numbers weren't able to diminish the powerful combat strength of the Hades Devils. The Devils were unlike Humans of the Surface World.
The stalemate lasted for three months before there was a conclusion.
Devil King Mammon apologized publicly and offered to compensate the affected parties.
A special investigation team of the Devil Management Committee was tasked to investigate the rumor that Mammon occupied the farm to obtain the Dungeon Core of the Ancient Gods army.
The most suitable witness for the investigation was Dungeon Lord Sherlock.
Sherlock didn't meet up with the investigation officer of the Devil Management Committee. Instead, he met up with an unexpected guest.
It was an emissary of Devil King Mammon.
He was a tall superior Devil.
The superior Devil wore well-ironed formal attire as he sat in Sherlock's Dungeon Lord Main Hall.
”Lord Sherlock, let me be very frank.”
The Devil adjusted his spectacles and said, ”Lord Mammon hopes that you will cooperate with the investigation conducted by the Devil Management Committee.”
”Apologies, I don't understand what cooperation is required…”
Lukewarm bloody chrysanthemum tea was placed on the table. Sherlock supported himself on the tabletop and looked at the emissary as he asked, ”Is it regarding the Dungeon Core of the Ancient Gods army?”
”I'm sure Lord Sherlock knows how to handle this delicately.”
Sherlock nodded and said, ”Mammon is indeed prudent.”
”What about my benefits?”
