In the eyes of players, the battle between Lord Sherlock and Phoenix is simply a fight between gods.
Because from the beginning, the two of them had disappeared. Due to the volcanic eruption, thick smoke and dust covered the entire underground tunnel. The figures of Phoenix and Sherlock disappeared in the thick smoke for most of the day.
of.
It's not that Sherlock took the initiative to do this, but not long after the battle started, Phoenix took the initiative and tried his best to get into the smoke.
However, every time, Sherlock pulled him out of the smoke, beat him violently in the air, and then continued his previous actions.
If the gods fight, the players can only watch the plot. Of course, there are still a few players who can participate, such as those sitting on the airship.
Because of their proficiency in operating airships, they were selected to operate the airship to give Lord Sherlock a certain amount of help.
This is very comfortable. There are black dragon dog eggs and black cat pineapples to charge the magic energy cannon. All the gunner needs to do is to control the magic energy cannon, then aim and fire.
Of course, there are only a few people who can fire cannons. Most of the players are still engaged in sailing, logistics, observation, etc.
It's not clear whether the players operating the airship brought any help to Lord Sherlock, but at least they had a lot of fun. The people watching below were also jealous, and the magic energy cannons hit many people.
It's great, even though it didn't fire a few times before it misfired.
As for the battle on the ground, it ended very early. After the residents of the distant town ran out of the Black Volcano, the players waiting outside grabbed them and gave them a blast with explosive hammers.
The poisonous mist they can rely on has no effect on the players at all, and without training all year round, they just live like ordinary townspeople, and their combat effectiveness is really not that high.
Players who have played for several months cannot compare.
After suffering several casualties, a group of townspeople, led by the mayor and the director of the security bureau, surrendered one after another.
Except for the people in the Security Bureau who have sophisticated weapons and equipment, the other NPCs don't have any decent equipment on hand. Rolling pins, hammers, pitchforks, sickles, etc. are really of no use to the players.
Too big a threat.
After these townspeople surrendered, the players did not start a bloody massacre on them, but asked them to take off their equipment, put down their weapons, take out all the magic stones on their bodies, etc.
Then this can be very profitable. This town is a tourist town. Many people come here to spend money every year. The per capita consumption level is very high. Of course, most people make money.
Just when the players were busy collecting magic stones happily, the battle between Phoenix and Sherlock finally came to an end in the gray mist in the sky.
Players saw Phoenix's figure falling like a gorgeous meteor against the background of gushing lava and flying rocks, and somewhere at the foot of the black volcano, there was an explosion-like special effect.
Players in the distance stood in a safe area and exclaimed together.
And not far away, beetle beasts, carrying a large number of soldiers from the Merchant Alliance Winterfell, were rushing towards this side...
——————————
The cause and effect of the attack on the Winterfell caravan in Black Volcano were finally clarified satisfactorily.
The story begins with a catastrophe that swept through the underground world and the surface world thousands of years ago.
Phoenix, one of the seventy-two great demons, was once a subordinate of the great demon Rokirangami. After Rokirangami was defeated by the Kingdom of Heaven with a single blow, Phoenix escaped back to the underground world and came to the Black Volcano.
, had a conflict with the local residents and the ogres, and finally chose to side with the local residents and defeated the ogres. However, Phoenix, who was already weak, needed a lot of events to restore his strength, or in other words, to avoid the limelight.
After all, after the fall of Rocky Langkaimi, the Demon Committee's counterattack was very fierce. Phoenix was directly labeled as a "war criminal". If he didn't find a way to escape quickly, he might be like pineapple, and he would be caught.
Sent directly to Bankazia prison.
So Phoenix decided to seal himself in the lava cave of the black volcano, providing shelter from the wind on one side and healing his injuries on the other. It was agreed that the local residents would free him after a few hundred years.
The two hit it off immediately and signed a contract.
But hundreds of years are too long, let alone hundreds of years. After two generations, this matter has become a legend, and few people know how to correctly remove Phoenix's seal.
Because the contract has expired, the residents of the distant town and their descendants who violated the contract will have to accept the curse of the contract for the rest of their lives - they will not have little toes in their lives, including slimes!
In order to lift this terrible curse, after thousands of years, they finally saw the contents of cherries from the newspaper by chance. Then, with the help of a mysterious man, they started a detailed plan. They not only wanted
To lift the curse, they still have to control Phoenix and use Phoenix to rule the world! Let the big rocks and pressure that once weighed on them become their help!
They began to think of ways to invite Cherry to work in a distant town, using various methods, but Cherry was not happy and only wanted to work in Winterfell.
It wasn't until Cherry resigned that he came to the distant town. During this period, Winterfell's caravan passed by the distant town and the Black Volcano. What happened could be said to be an accident, at least to the residents of the distant town.
so.
Everyone knew what happened after that. They designed Cherry to come into contact with Phoenix's seal. It turned out that they themselves had misunderstood for so many years. To lift the seal, it was not that a person named Cherry was needed to lift the seal, but that there was no one in the underground world like Cherry.
fruit!
There were some back then, and Phoenix brought them here, but they were eaten up by their ancestors, and they completely forgot about keeping the cherries to complete the contract.
"What?! You say our story is nonsense? I say you, a reporter, are nonsense! What you report is all nonsense. Do you know how we feel? We have protected Phoenix from being sent away for thousands of years
Go to Bankazia, how did he repay us?! Do you know what it's like to not have a little toe? If I could have a little toe, I would trade it for the whole world! You don't understand me at all! Those of you with little feet
People with thumbs only say sarcastic words!"
The arrested Director of the Security Bureau roared at Patrick Star who was interviewing on the side. There were already people from the Winterfell Guard beside him who were forcibly escorting him and escorting him to Bankazia.
Beetle Beast and the guards shouted at him angrily:
"Shut up, you will die in Bankazia in your next life!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, the chief assistant from the Lord's Office of Winterfell, Nicholas's butler, and the chief ooze, turned around and looked at Lord Sherlock, who was standing next to him, covered with dust, and [this name]
No one will take it] Black Cat Pineapple, the leader of the mercenary group.
"I am extremely grateful to Captain Pineapple and Lord Sherlock! It is absolutely impossible to solve such a complicated and confusing case without the help of the two of them!"
"This is what we should do, meow."
The black cat Pineapple had a serious expression on his face, and Sherlock nodded and said:
"That's right. But I didn't expect that the black volcano, which has always been a tourist attraction, actually hides such a sad secret. The entire remote town has been subject to such a dark curse. Phoenix is really harmful. It's a pity that this Phoenix
After getting rid of the shackles, I ran away immediately. It is also my fault that I am not capable of defeating him, otherwise I will definitely send him to Bankazia."
As Sherlock spoke, he touched a parrot with red feathers on his shoulder with a finger. The parrot's eyes were wide open, the hair on its body was a little messy, and one of its eyes actually looked a little black.
The most important thing is that the bird's face actually showed an expression of "I don't dare to move.jpg".
"It is indeed a bit of a headache to let Phoenix escape, but it is fortunate that no larger casualties were caused. Those 2,500 heroic caravan guards who were poisoned by these townspeople can also rest in peace.
Well, what a catastrophe." The ooze monster sighed, but he still hesitated and finally asked:
"Lord Sherlock, is it possible that Phoenix was seriously injured by you and then fell somewhere? Because I heard from the lunatic chief of the security bureau of a distant town that you and he were inseparable from each other, and also...
With the airship's magic cannon blasting him, could he have been seriously injured?"
"It's hard to tell? No, no, no, how could it be? I was completely pinned down and beaten. How could I beat the seventy-two demons!" Sherlock said as he reached out and touched the parrot on his shoulder.
Opening its mouth, the parrot quickly made a swallowing sound.
The black cat pineapple leader standing next to Sherlock didn't know why, but his whole hair stood on end.
"Of course, you can also send a team to search. What if Phoenix is caught?"
"Ah...is this like this..." The ooze monster nodded, then hesitated and said:
"That, about the dungeon core hidden in the director's house..."
"Huh? Is the core of the dungeon in the director's house? I have no idea!" Sherlock looked surprised.
"Ah, according to his confession, this is indeed the case, but we went over to look and couldn't find it. Then the director corrected him and said that you took it away. Of course, I am definitely not doubting what you meant, I just wanted to ask.
, could it be that your subordinates took it away?" The ooze monster asked strangely.
"Is that so? Wait a minute." Sherlock said, grabbing a player next to him who had the word "hoe" on his head, carrying him over, and asked:
"Have you been to the director's house? Have you seen the dungeon core?"
"Huh? What the hell is this dungeon core? I don't know?"
After Hoe He finished speaking with a confused look on his face, he was thrown to the side by Sherlock. Then Sherlock shrugged his shoulders, and the red parrot moved uneasily twice.
"Look, they obviously don't know about this. I don't even know about it. How could they know? The director is probably lying. He must have disposed of the core of the dungeon and sold it to someone, or
Destroyed or something like that, you must interrogate him properly anyway. Don’t believe the accusations about me and the [No one took this name] mercenary group. You also know that what they hate most now is us.
, can’t wait to drag us into the water.”
"What you said makes sense. I will investigate this matter as soon as possible. Thank you very much, Lord Sherlock, and Captain Pineapple!"
The ooze monster said again.
"It's nothing. This is what I should do as a high-ranking demon in the underground world. Everyone knows that the current peace is hard-won. A lot of the credit is due to your merchant alliance. Providing help and services to you is
Things I should do!”
Sherlock asked again:
"About this reward..."
"Don't worry, Lord Sherlock. The ten million magic stones will be returned to you very quickly... I'm talking about Captain Pineapple's account."
The ooze monster said quickly.
Sherlock nodded, obviously very satisfied with Winterfell's high efficiency.
But just when he was about to end the conversation and leave, the ooze monster suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Master Sherlock, where did you buy your parrot? How much did it cost? It's very beautiful and well-behaved. Does it have a name?"
"He? He picked it up. His name is Phoenix."
Sherlock said with a smile.
