Gamers of the Underworld Chapter 494 - I Want to See Eggface

After hearing the news, Nicholas was worried. His a.s.sistant saw the worried face of the Dungeon Lord and started making plans.

“Dungeon Lord, don’t worry. Lord Sherlock is a popular public creature. It’s understandable that he wanted to keep his location secret while touring.”

The a.s.sistant said, “Looking at the current situation, Eternal Kingdom won’t stand by and do nothing. Eggface, who is Lord Sherlock’s secretary, has started his war maneuvers. Lord Sherlock has so many capable a.s.sistants, he must have prepared battle plans. Didn’t Eggface come forward to take charge?”

Nicholas agreed with his a.s.sistant. It was impossible for Lord Sherlock not to make preparations. The relations.h.i.+p between Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City seemed abnormal. It seemed like it wasn’t the first time they fought. Perhaps Lord Sherlock already knew about it and kept quiet. It was normal for powerful Dungeon Lords not to seek help.

Nicholas was no longer worried or agitated. He only needed to report the matter to the Merchant Alliance before making further plans.

The Merchant Alliance wouldn’t support any battles on the Surface World. Instead, the Merchant Alliance would just destroy the Teleport Portal that was connected to the Surface World. That was what they had been doing all these years.

After a devastating war between the Underworld and Surface World, the defeated Underworld tried to avoid any conflict with the Surface World.

Teleport Portals that were connected to the Surface World were discovered, but they were immediately destroyed by the Underworld organizations like the Merchant Alliance, the Devil Management Committee, or other Dungeons. If any Underworld creatures discovered a Teleport Portal to the Surface World, it would be immediately destroyed.

It was likely that the current Teleport Portal that was connected to the Surface World would be destroyed.

According to information, the discovered Teleport Portal was within Eternal Kingdom.

If they wanted to destroy the Teleport Portal, they had to seek Lord Sherlock’s approval. As Sherlock wasn’t in the Dungeon, they were facing a dilemma.

Nicholas decided to send a staff member to Eternal Kingdom to mediate the matter. He wanted to see if it was possible to shut down the Teleport Portal even though Lord Sherlock wasn’t in the Dungeon.

There was a suitable candidate. Senior Captain Cherry was still investigating in Eternal Kingdom. He was qualified and capable, so Nicholas ordered his a.s.sistant to entrust the mission to Senior Captain Cherry.

When Senior Captain Cherry received the mission, he had returned to Eternal Kingdom from the crossroad intersection outpost. It was Brainiac who brought Patrick Star and Senior Captain Cherry back to Eternal Kingdom.

“Apologies for interrupting your newsgathering. As Lord Sherlock isn’t in Eternal Kingdom, we decline all news gathering and interviews,” Brainiac said without emotion to both of them.

“Wait, we’re not here to conduct interviews. I’m the Senior Captain of the Winterfell Garrison Guards. I’m here because I heard that the monsters of the Surface World appeared in Eternal Kingdom. You’re under attack from the Surface World, so I’m representing the Merchant Alliance to provide a.s.sistance.”

Patrick Star was a reporter, but Senior Captain Cherry wasn’t, so he identified himself. Brainiac also recognized him.

However, Brainiac wouldn’t budge. Brainiac kept quiet for a while before saying, “Did the Merchant Alliance send any materials? Or war equipment?”

Senior Captain Cherry was taken aback. He quickly replied, “I haven’t received any orders yet, and I don’t know of any material or equipment support.”

Brainiac tilted his head and said, “Apologies, but if there isn’t any material support, you aren’t helping Eternal Kingdom. You are giving us trouble by staying here. Until Lord Sherlock returns, we will be declining all visitors. Based on our previous friends.h.i.+p, you may stay in Eternal Kingdom, but don’t go to the dangerous frontline. We have to allocate escorts for you.”

Brainiac thought for a while before saying, “The monsters of the Surface World won’t show any mercy. They won’t let you off because you’re kind. They won’t hesitate to shred you to pieces and strip you of your equipment. Then, they’ll laugh at your corpse. It wouldn’t be the first time I witnessed such a thing. Until we neutralize the threat from the Surface World, stay in Eternal Kingdom. The warriors of Eternal Kingdom will protect you. Good luck.”

Brainiac didn’t give Senior Captain Cherry or Patrick Star a chance to talk. He walked out of the room and said to the warriors outside, “You’ll be in charge of protecting Patrick Star and Senior Captain Cherry.”

Patrick Star heard the warriors outside acknowledged Brainiac. Then, the footsteps of Brainiac receded into the distance. He looked awkwardly at Senior Captain Cherry and said, “Senior Captain Cherry, what should we do? Do we return to Winterfell?”

Senior Captain Cherry shook his head. He was sure he wouldn’t be leaving since Dungeon Lord Nicholas had given him a mission. Before completing his mission, he had to stay in Eternal Kingdom.

“Let’s find Black Dragon Eggface. This Dungeon isn’t ruled by the Lich,” Senior Captain Cherry said to Patrick Star. The two of them nodded and left the room. Outside the house, they saw the guarding warriors. They weren’t the normal serious guards who stood at attention. They leaned casually against the wall, and one of them was weaving Spider Silk in his hands.

It was nothing strange. It was the style of Eternal Kingdom.

“I want to see Black Dragon Eggface,” Senior Captain Cherry said.
