Gamers of the Underworld Chapter 574 - The Daredevil Gamers

Chapter 574: The Daredevil Gamers

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Alexandria didn’t invite Sherlock to the Duke’s territory to be a guest.

The Duke’s territory was too far from Eternal Kingdom, even if a Teleport Portal was used. Sherlock didn’t have the time or energy to make the trip.

Alexandria went to Dungeon Venice in the Northern Underworld because of some matters.

It was a Dungeon that wasn’t far from Winterfell. Venice was much larger than the desolate Winterfell. Previously, the gamers fought against the Hades Devil army on the outskirts of Venice.

Hence, Sherlock was familiar with Venice.

In Winterfell, everyone knew about Sherlock. However, not many of the residents in Venice knew about Sherlock.

He was able to enjoy a peaceful time in the Dungeon without being ha.s.sled by inquisitive reporters.

“Lord Sherlock! Take a look. This thing is very adorable!”

Evelynn stared at a pet.i.te Hamster as she placed her palm on her knees and looked blissful.

The small Hamster lifted his head and said fiercely, “What the heck! Don’t hinder me from working. Get lost, you bimbo!”

A public Beetlemon came to a halt beside the Beetlemon stop, and the pa.s.sengers boarded it. The small Hamster boarded the Beetlemon platform with small, quick steps.

Evelynn straightened her back and looked astonished. She didn’t expect the Hamster to speak Human language. She thought the Hamster was only a pet.

“Have you been staying in Winterfell?” Sherlock stood beside Evelynn and asked curiously.

“Yes… yes. I have been staying in Winterfell since I graduated,” Evelynn replied earnestly.

Sherlock nodded and said, “It’s nothing strange. Though it’s a Hamster, there are many different breeds. The pet breed commands a higher salary.”

“Lord Sherlock, what do you mean by salary… Are those Hamsters being kept as pets? Are the Hamsters willing?”

Polio walked to Sherlock’s feet and said in surprise, “During our time, though the Hamsters weren’t the most powerful warriors, they had the greatest willpower and were the most vicious. Tsk, tsk, times have changed!”

“You don’t understand. Our present time is so much better without any war. Everyone can work happily and receive their desired salary. Look at us. I’m proud to be working for Lord Sherlock.” Phoenix fawned over Sherlock as he stood on the Dungeon Lord’s shoulder. Phoenix’s boot-licking skill was excellent.

Polio looked disappointed as he said, “D*mn, I should have taken the initiative to fawn!”

However, Sherlock was indifferent towards the fawning.

After arriving at Venice, they didn’t stay out on the streets. Sherlock hailed a Hades Carriage.

He wanted to go to the Venice Dungeon Lord Main Hall.

Alexandria was waiting for him at the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. There were also other high-ranking officials and judges of the Merchant Alliance waiting for him at the Hall.

When Sherlock and his entourage boarded the carriage, he found the carriage driver familiar. There were green symbols above his head.

Marco Polo.

“Lord Sherlock, why are you here? Is there a mission for me? Oh my G.o.d, I’m so lucky!” Marco Polo shouted excitedly.

“Indeed, you have discovered the Hidden Mission that we have a.s.signed you. Please take us to the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, thank you,” Eggface replied. He had been accompanying Sherlock.

From the way Eggface handled the situation, it was clearly not the first time that he had a.s.signed the gamers Hidden Missions.

“Ah? What about the rewards? Can you tell me first?” Marco Polo asked with concern as he looked at Eggface.

“What rewards? Isn’t a Strange Encounter Mission a reward?” Eggface replied.

Polio quickly explained, “He’s saying that there will be a reward, but he can’t tell you now. You’ll know once you send us to our destination.”

Marco Polo felt disappointed. As he looked at these NPCs, he felt that they were taking him for a ride. Sherlock said, “How did you end up in Venice?”

Though there were residents of Eternal Kingdom in Venice, they had to pay the transportation fare between the two Dungeons. On the other hand, the residents of Eternal Kingdom could travel to Winterfell conveniently using the Teleport Portal.

It was expensive to use the Teleport Portal in Venice, so the residents of Eternal Kingdom chose not to remain in Venice.

Even after the Pioneer Alliance obtained the farmland as their Guild territory, they didn’t use Venice as their development base.

The journey to Venice was too long, and it would take the Beetlemon one hour to complete the journey. The gamers didn’t want to waste their precious time traveling.

The gamers returned to Eternal Kingdom via the Teleport Portal before proceeding to Winterfell. It was much more convenient.

Sherlock was surprised to meet Marco Polo in Venice.

“I’m here to explore Venice, my Dungeon Lord!” Marco Polo replied as a matter of fact.

“I’m not the only adventurer. There are also other explorers who remained in Venice. This Dungeon is too large, so you didn’t meet them. I’m so lucky to meet you. No, I have to create a post on the discussion forum,” Marco Polo said before he fell to the ground.

“What shall we do, Lord Sherlock?” Evelynn asked with concern. Though it was a common occurrence in Eternal Kingdom, it was still quite scary to see the carriage driver pa.s.sing out.

“Carry him into the carriage,” Sherlock ordered. Polio jumped down from the carriage and carried Marco Polo into the carriage with the help of Phoenix.

Eggface took the initiative to take over the driver’s seat. His claws grasped the horse reins as he shouted loudly, “Sit tight!”
