Gamers of the Underworld Chapter 330 - Sherlock’s Suggestion

Chapter 330: Sherlock’s SuggestionTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“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 b.l.o.o.d.y 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 ma.s.saged 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?”

“Yes, by letting my collaborative partner become their leader.” Sherlock spread out his hands and said, “As you know, the power games of the Surface World are more serious than the Underworld. They see power as more important than anything else. With power, even though I’m a superior Devil, I could become a leader there. In the Underworld, if a Grand Priest wanted to be a leader, it…”

Sherlock wanted to say that it was impossible, but he suddenly thought of Beast, who was a Grand Priest and a believer of the Sacred Light. Therefore, he amended himself and said, “Er, it’s a tricky problem. That’s not my main point. I had a new idea after controlling the Humans who discovered us.”

“Er… what idea?”

Professor Bacon didn’t know how to react. If the tunnel connecting both worlds was discovered, those wild Humans could invade the Underworld. However, Sherlock wasn’t panicking and had even arranged for his collaborative partner to be their leader!

It was hard to tell whether the collaborative partner was his servant or not.

“I’m worried about the learning situation of the Specter College’s students. I understand that the Specter College will conduct combat exercises for the students. If we consider the possibility of a war with the Surface World, if they don’t practise hard, when it’s time to fight the Surface World, it may be too late. The creatures of the Surface World look weird, so I’m afraid the Liches will be given a fright when they see them,” Sherlock said with concern.

“Hmm, you are right, Lord Sherlock. So you’re saying…”

“Make use of this chance to create a new Instance Dungeon. Ah, I mean to create a new collaborative relations.h.i.+p. The lives of the Surface races aren’t important and aren’t worth a cent. Even if they die in Specter College, n.o.body will care. I can lead them to Specter College and contribute to the teaching of the college!” Sherlock said with integrity.

“Lord Sherlock… I’m very touched. I would like to thank you on behalf of the princ.i.p.al and the parents!” Professor Bacon stood up as tears welled up in his eye sockets. He said, “Since Lord Sherlock controls the Humans, why don’t you capture them and create Magic Stones? It’s quite efficient to use Human souls to create Magic Stones.”

“I’m thinking about it… I mean, I thought about it. But money isn’t as important as the education value. Of course, I can collect some fees, which are mainly to cover the costs. As you know, constructing Teleport Portals and transporting Humans incurs costs.”

Professor Bacon was moved, and he said, “Of course!”

“If that’s the case, let’s discuss the details…”

…

Lancelot was dumbstruck by the incredible scene.

Two hundred bandits were slaughtering the crowd viciously, but they discovered that these Humans, Fairies, and Elves didn’t surrender, nor did they have fear.

They only had eyes for the horses, trying all means to kill the bandits in order to obtain the horses.

The extreme insanity made Lancelot fearful. He didn’t waste his effort finding the three Hamsters as they had stayed hidden since the start of the battle.

The bandits started to waver and collapse, but the battle didn’t stop. The horses left by the bandits were limited, so there was another new round of battle for the possession of the horses…
