In the dark room, Alexander was holding the newspaper in his hand, which read [The case of Lord Sherlock destroying the Winterfell caravan and attacking the Winterfell caravan in the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon].
The newspaper is not the Winterfell Monthly that is filled with advertisements, but the words "Northern Principality Monthly" are written on it.
"Lord Alexander, there is no news about Phoenix Phoenix so far."
The ooze monster stood in front of Alexander, holding a folder and talking to Alexander.
"Yes, I understand. Let's find an opportunity to cut off the tail as well."
Alexander looked at the newspaper and said, but the ooze monster showed a troubled expression:
"But the security situation in Bankazia may be a little difficult."
"Then get it done before they arrive at Bankazia." Alexander said without raising his head.
"I see."
"By the way, I heard that Lord Sherlock has a powerful lich called Xueba, right?"
The ooze monster was about to leave when he heard Alexander's question behind him. He immediately turned around and opened the folder in his hand with his wet tentacles:
"That's right, the genius Lich who is said to be once in a thousand years is a top student who graduated from Lich Academy. His tutor is the famous undead educator Professor Bacon."
"Professor Bacon? Do you still have the project for cooperation between the Academy of the Dead and us?" Alexander asked sitting on the chair.
"Still kept."
"Start it, the sooner the better."
————————
The caravan attack on Black Volcano ended successfully. What was not satisfactory was that the 2,500 caravan guards were wiped out. Even the core of the underground city they escorted was missing. Phoenix, who was accidentally discovered, released the seal and disappeared.
The only good thing is that the loss of Winterfell is not irreparable. The townspeople of the entire remote town participated in the planning of this attack, and all losses will of course be compensated by them.
However, when the Merchant Alliance subsequently sent personnel to check the property, they found that the property in the distant town was much less than what was on the books. The most intuitive thing was the merchandise, furniture, and magic stones on the card.
Parts are missing. Visual inspection suggests that they conducted an emergency move, although I don't understand why they moved the furniture.
Even so, there are still real estate or other properties that can be used to pay off the debt, which is enough.
As for the Black Volcano, because Phoenix lifted the seal, it erupted without stopping. There is no suitable place to live at the foot of the entire Black Volcano.
Naturally, the Merchant Alliance also sent a commissioner to check the information and came to the conclusion:
"Because of Phoenix, the fire element here has become extremely disordered and the volcanic activity is extremely active. This eruption is likely to last for a long time. It is recommended to increase the tourism level by one star!"
Although it is more suitable for traveling, which is good news for the merchant alliance, there are more elemental creatures in the lava cave, which is very troublesome.
But the Merchant Alliance is lucky, because they have a very friendly and helpful neighbor - the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon!
"It doesn't matter. My people strongly demand to guard the lava cave and help the merchant alliance maintain the order of the underground world. It is our responsibility."
Sherlock said with a sense of mission.
It was precisely because of Shylock's strong request that City Lord Nicholas was finally moved. Nicholas immediately reported the matter to the Merchant Alliance. The Merchant Alliance was extremely grateful to Shylock. Of course, they would be happy if anyone was willing to accept this hot job.
ah!
Of course, in terms of remuneration, they also have to give a little token. Although Sherlock generously said that he does not need it, they still decided to give a certain amount of materials as remuneration every month. After all, for the development of a dungeon,
Materials are very important.
Of course, the merchant alliance will not lose money. After all, as long as the Black Volcano can continue to exist as a tourist attraction, they will make money.
When the matter reaches this point, it has come to a successful conclusion for the Merchant Alliance. As for the subsequent compensation to the Northern Principality, that is a matter between them.
But for Sherlock, there are still many things that need to be investigated.
————————
"Don't you have any clues about the mastermind behind inducing the townspeople to unblock Phoenix?"
Sherlock was sitting in a luxurious room, surrounded by bookshelves and rows of books, full of the smell of depraved knowledge.
This made Sherlock feel a little uncomfortable.
In front of him was the ooze sitting on the boss's chair. He had provided information to Sherlock many times and was running a shady cram school business in Winterfell.
"The other party did it very cleanly, and unlike Bankazia, who has many eyes and ears, there are so many ways to provide us with information, but I guess it is still the Alexander guy who did it. The targets of his recent actions seem to be pointing to the Seventy Years
The location of the two great demons, although I don’t know where the seventy-two unlucky ghosts are.”
As soon as the slime monster finished speaking, the red parrot that had been standing on Sherlock's shoulder made a threatening voice:
"Huh? What did you say, you ooze?"
"kindness?"
The ooze monster obviously didn't expect Sherlock's pet to speak like this, and was obviously stunned.
Sherlock stretched out a finger, tapped the parrot on the head, and then said with a smile:
"My newly purchased pet seems to have learned a lot of strange things before, so don't worry about it."
After being tapped by Sherlock's finger, the parrot became obviously much better behaved.
"Nothing, a very spiritual pet." The ooze monster said casually, and then continued:
"I will keep a close eye on the Northern Principality."
"Thank you, this is the intelligence fee for this time." Sherlock threw a gold stone, and the ooze monster quickly put the gold stone in his hand. When the magic power was input, the picture that appeared was
Surrounding the entire room, mathematical formulas, numbers and various symbols like the starry sky surrounded the ooze monster, making him show an expression of great enjoyment.
"What a bunch of depraved creatures."
Sherlock put on his hat again, then left the ooze monster's room with the parrot on his shoulder.
Phoenix, standing on Sherlock's shoulders, asked after leaving the ooze monster's room:
"Is anyone looking for the Seventy-Two Great Demons? What is he going to do? Is he collecting cards like Rocky Langkaimi?"
"Does Rocky Langkaimi have this hobby?"
Sherlock asked strangely.
"What else? In order to make up the number seventy-two, he will recruit some very weird and weak guys into the organization. Obviously we are all elites, but guys like Pineapple don't look like elites in any way, right?
It floats everywhere like mist all day long, and some little tricks of mind control will be used, which really brings down our value. The seventy-two great demons of Luo Jilangkaimi, they say they are so domineering, but they behave like this
That guy. By the way, the black cat you raise is also named Pineapple. I feel like he is as useless as Pineapple."
Phoenix, standing on Sherlock's shoulder, said unceremoniously.
"He is the pineapple. The pineapple you mentioned is floating everywhere and doing some mind control tricks."
Sherlock said to Phoenix.
"Ah ha, what an interesting joke, that black dragon said the same thing."
Phoenix laughed, as if he thought it was really the same, but he soon saw Sherlock's serious expression, and then the smile gradually disappeared.
"Really? That guy...pineapple?"
"Yes."
"How is it possible that that peeping tom has a physical body now? Or is it still a stupid black cat? It's impossible, I absolutely don't believe it, unless I turn into a parrot one day, hahaha...haha...ha
…”
Parrot Phoenix cried as he spoke.
The look of a parrot sobbing is really not beautiful at all, it's even a bit funny.
"Lord Sherlock, I really can't understand why you didn't let Phoenix stay in the form of a phoenix, but turned him into a parrot. You know, a phoenix is very powerful."
Just as Phoenix was sobbing, Blue said in Sherlock's ear.
"Well? Do you want the Eternal Kingdom dungeon to turn into a sea of fire? Besides, if others know that Phoenix is here, it will cause serious problems. The Demon Committee will definitely give me a high fine."
Sherlock continued to ask Blue:
"Is your dungeon core fusion finished?"
"Of course, it's very delicious, even a little bit indigestive. I can upgrade to a level four dungeon core at any time now, and even expand it to 50,000 people!"
Blue quickly said:
"But if you do that, you and Miss Lilo may become the first high-level demons in history to die due to their magic power being drained."
"It's not like he died of being drained. He must be malnourished."
Sherlock corrected and said:
"It seems that we must find a substitute for magic power."
"How about getting a magic pool?"
Blue suggested.
"It's useless. No magic storage pool can support the magic power needs of so many people, unless it is the World Tree."
After Sherlock finished speaking, Blue quickly shouted:
"Huh? Don't we have a world tree in our flower garden?"
"Are you talking about the one planted in Yucha? It's too small. If it grows for another hundred years, it will probably be barely usable."
Sherlock waved his hand.
"what a shame."
"Wait a minute...I suddenly had a bold idea."
Sherlock said suddenly.
"For your bold ideas, our country has a complete set of criminal laws."
"what are you saying?"
"It's nothing, just a joke, but Sir Sherlock, what do you think?"
"How about accelerating the ripening of the World Tree?"
