Chapter 479: Five thousand words for business cooperation)
In the dark woods, several beastmen looked around to see if there were any signs of Victorian activity nearby?
Needless to say, they are of course Arthur and the others.
"They should all be robbing the Duke's Castle. There shouldn't be many people here in the main city of Victoria."
Hoe He looked at the dead pigs and saw no signs of human activity.
After they were teleported from the underground portal to the surface, they did not move in the direction of Victoria Free City, but in the opposite direction. There were many rocks and cliffs there, which was a very suitable place for building a secret stronghold.
Arthur and the others did not build a stronghold to occupy territory in the surface world, they just hoped to have a temporary resting place on the surface.
Their plan is to secretly cut down trees in the surface world. The closest place where wood can be sold and processed is the Crossroads stronghold, but the Crossroads stronghold is still a distance from the ground.
If there is a disadvantage in being close to the forest in the ground world, then players do not need to frequently travel between the ground world and the crossroads stronghold. They can chop in a short time, but all the accumulated wood is placed in the secret stronghold.
Then pull it back to the intersection at once, so that even if there are players in the ground world who see them cutting down trees and come to encircle them, they don't have to worry that all the wood will be taken away.
And there is also a stronghold where you can log off safely.
What they don't know is that when they set foot on the territory of the surface world, they have become the first group of underground people to return to the surface world in hundreds or thousands of years.

In the dungeon of Eternal Kingdom.
When Sherlock returned to the dungeon from the merchant alliance's manor, he made some "friendly" inquiries about Plumeria.
But Plumeria doesn't know many things, after all, it has just been released from the seal.
But what is certain is that the Ancient God Legion is currently operating in a way similar to the spiritual connection between Sherlock and the players. This can also explain why the Ancient God Legion immediately attacked Winterfell.
, there will be the reason why believers of the ancient gods from all over the world will rush to Winterfell.
As for whether Plumeria is connected to this spiritual network, the answer is yes.
In other words, bringing Frangipani back to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon is equivalent to bringing back the eyes and ears of the Ancient God Legion. This is something Sherlock didn't know before.
But it doesn't matter, after some more careful handling of the frangipani as not to hurt it, the half-dead frangipani that had been treated had completely severed its spiritual connection with the ancient god.
As for this process, the parrot and the black cat watched the whole process, and once again saw the "gentle" side of Lord Sherlock.
But this is just the beginning of things.
————————————————
Beastman Cherry is sitting in his office. Since a series of events, he has become the director of the Winterfell Defense Bureau from a captain of the defense team.
The reason why he was able to become the director at such a young age was not only because of his outstanding performance in the previous volcanic incident, but also because of the strong recommendation and support of Lord Sherlock and Nicholas.
In short, his future is bright.
But even after becoming a director, he often did his work personally instead of directing his subordinates and sitting in the office by himself. For example, this time the officials of Winterfell reported to the police that they encountered something disturbing.
A surprising and special event.
All the wood in Forest Farm No. 4 is gone. Not only that, the forest farm has also turned into a barren desert, with not even a few stones.
This is how the same thing?
Beastman Cherry looked at the desert in front of him and took a deep breath of the burning iron rod in his mouth.
"Zizzizi..."
He made a sound like roasting meat in his mouth, and smoked from burning proteins.
Just like the thinking brain in his head.
"Director, could this be all chopped down by people from the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon?" When Director Cherry was thinking about why the trees in the forest farm were all empty, a colleague next to him asked with a folder.
"So don't worry about your ideas. In this business, we need bold assumptions, bold reasoning, and bold conclusions."
Director Cherry, said to the colleague who was speaking.
"Yes!" The colleague obviously felt very lucky and proud that he could perform in front of the director. He quickly opened the folder in his hand, and then said to the file:
"Judging from the records I retrieved, the production forest farm was leased to Eternal Kingdom Underground City about four months ago. The original lease term was to expire in one year, but they returned it to the site in advance a few days ago.
By the way, we also had to pay the remaining 8 months’ monthly rent. I was wondering if they had cut down all the forest farms in 4 months, and then in order to save 8 months of monthly rent, they paid the rent in advance.
Return it to us."
After the colleague finished speaking, the police officers nearby took a deep breath and expressed disbelief and disbelief.
That is the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon. It is the most promising dungeon in the entire northern underground world, and it is also the dungeon with the largest population and the strongest combat effectiveness. The lord in it, Lord Sherlock, has attended the evening parties of upper-level lords many times, and is a veritable socialite.
, would such a powerful person return the forest farm in advance for eight months of monthly rent?
"But I heard that the Eternal Kingdom Underground City returned the forest farm because the trees in the forest farm suddenly disappeared. They even planned to ask us to compensate for a liquidated damages."
But the forest farm staff quickly expressed different opinions. He also took out an application form and continued:
"Look, this is a complaint form filled out by Lord Sherlock himself. It contains the clauses regarding our need to compensate him."
Director Cherry was not in a hurry to express his position. He stretched out his hand, took the application form, and then read it carefully:
"Well, just judging from the contents of the table, what Lord Sherlock said is indeed correct, because the site we rented to him was for one year, but there were no trees in 4 months. He
It’s understandable that you want to apply for compensation.”
"Wait a minute, Director."
The member of the Beastman Guard who argued that the trees were cut down by the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon quickly said:
"If they had cut down all these trees themselves, we would not need to pay any compensation at all."
"This is absolutely impossible!" Almost immediately after the member of the Beastman Guards finished speaking, the forestry staff nearby shouted loudly:
"How many people are there in total in the Eternal Kingdom Underground City? The forest farm is very large, and it requires special felling equipment to cut down the trees. The felling personnel are also carefully selected. We have a cooperative relationship with the largest prison, Bankazia. Eternal
National Underground City has no cooperative relationship with Bankazia. How could he have so many employees who cut down trees, let alone cut down all our No. 4 Forest Farm within 4 months? This is absolutely impossible.
matter."
"Well, he's right. I also think this shouldn't be caused by the people in the Eternal Kingdom dungeon. I've dealt with those people before. Although they have some neurotic and weird behaviors, they definitely won't.
For people who have fallen to this level, I can see the wild wildness in them, as well as the desire to fight, a quality that only dungeon warriors can have."
With Director Cherry speaking for these players, everyone else no longer doubted the suspicion of the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon. After all, Director Cherry was the person who cracked the Black Volcano case, which was widely known throughout the underground world.
Circulated cases.
This is so powerful. It is absolutely impossible for a great person to reason wrongly. Everyone no longer doubts that this forest was chopped down by people from the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon. They began to investigate whether the trees in the forest were damaged due to special circumstances, and the businessman
The Alliance also provided a certain amount of compensation for Lord Sherlock's loss and sincerely apologized.
Our Lord Sherlock is still very generous and does not pursue the Merchant Alliance too much. He just said that if possible, he would give a forest farm as compensation, with the same lease term of one year. However, the Merchant Alliance did not agree to this approach.
, but chose to give a certain amount of magic stones and material compensation.
Something is better than nothing. Lord Sherlock thought about it and decided to accept their compensation.
Because Sherlock's attention is not on this aspect, he is planning a very important thing recently and is working hard and preparing for it.
————————————
The light of the computer screen shone on the wall in the Lord's Hall, and the sound of mouse clicks and keyboards made the parrot standing in the birdcage blink his eyes, and saw Lord Sherlock below who was working hard in front of the computer.
After that, the parrot turned his head slightly and tried not to let the computer light disturb his rest, but it was difficult for these people to do that.
The black cat Pineapple who was in the nest opened his eyes, and he also saw Sherlock struggling in front of the computer. He sighed and said to himself:
"Lord Sherlock has worked so hard..."
Although the sound was not loud, it happened to be the kind that Sherlock could hear. However, when he saw that Sherlock had no reaction, Black Cat Pineapple sighed again, then lay down and tried to fall asleep again.
, his flattery obviously didn’t work.
As for the old turtle Frangipani, she shrank her body in the turtle shell from head to tail and had no reaction at all. As an old turtle, having a turtle shell is still very useful.
But Sherlock is not working alone. Beside him, Black Dragon Goudan is also sitting in front of the computer, using his paws to control the mouse and keyboard with difficulty, staring at the picture in front of him without blinking.
.
"Pick up the lantern! Pick up the lantern quickly!"
Black Dragon Goudan suddenly shouted, his shout startled both the parrot and the black cat.
Sherlock's expression was focused, and the clicking speed of the mouse was already very fast. At the same time, he couldn't help shouting to the black dragon next to him:
"There are holes in the lantern, I can't click it! Help me push it, push it for me to see if there is a big move, if there is a big move!"
But after shouting, Sherlock's hands left the keyboard and mouse, and at the same time he covered his face and made a "hissing" sound.
"Oh, why are you cooking like this? Just like Jane Lantern!"
Black Dragon Goudan complained, and Sherlock closed his eyes and shook his head without saying anything.
"If we keep this level all the time, we won't be able to get the king rank before the end of S9, which will be over soon!"
The black dragon frowned and complained and said to Sherlock. He had been complaining, but suddenly he realized that the target seemed to be Lord Sherlock, but for games like this, it is impossible for a male to bow his head and admit his mistake.
Yes, even Lord Sherlock did the same, but he still thought about it and then added:
"But you can't blame Sir Sherlock. After all, the role of your adc in this version is basically non-existent. Why don't you practice upgrading units? Isn't there a very strong top laner the shy recently? Sir Sherlock is aiming for that goal.
If you work hard, I think you can easily reach that level based on your operational skills."
"Forget it, there is no schedule tonight, go to bed early, there may be a holiday in the other world, there are a lot of elementary school students."
After Sherlock finished speaking, he closed the computer, then leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. Black Dragon Goudan also reluctantly closed the computer, then said good night to Sherlock, and then walked to the corner of the room.
, he lay down in his lair. Although Black Dragon Goudan had his own special lair in the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, he seemed to prefer sleeping in the Lord's Hall than sleeping in the lair outside.
And Sherlock didn't care that there were so many people sleeping in his lord's hall.
"Lord Sherlock."
Just when Sherlock closed his eyes to rest, Blue suddenly said in his mind.
"Um?"
Sherlock responded.
"Lord Sherlock, don't you have any plans for the next step? The Ancient God Legion has been watching from the dark, and according to your opinion, the Demon Committee doesn't seem to be very honest. You will send Luo Jilankaimi's two men
They have all been taken under their command, and they even captured a former Frangipani, one of the top commanders of the Ancient God Legion. Now Evelin's body actually contains the key figure who resurrected Loki Langkaimi. Such an unknown situation would be different.
, the average person would be so anxious that they would be scratching their heads every day, but you don’t seem to be anxious at all. You have been playing ranked matches every day these days. Of course, your skills are really very good.”
After Blue finished speaking, Sherlock opened his eyes and quickly said:
"Yeah, I'll just say it's not my problem at all. My adc is so strong, how could there be a problem?"
"This is not a discussion, Lord Sherlock."
Blue continued:
"Do you have any plans? Do you need me to order the players to cooperate with your plan?"
"Break into the prison where the ancient god is imprisoned, then directly kill the ancient god, and then rush into the demon committee and kill all the seven demon kings. What do you think of this plan?"
Sherlock's expression didn't look like he was joking, and Blue quickly said excitedly:
"As expected of Sir Sherlock, I have such a complete plan so quickly. Don't worry, I will definitely ask those players to cooperate with you. As long as they can fight, the ancient gods can fight, and the demons will believe it."
I, whether I am an ancient god or the seven demon kings, am nothing in front of them."
Blue sounded very confident in the players. Not only that, he then suggested that Sherlock first capture Winterfell, use Winterfell as a stronghold to develop and strengthen their forces, arm those players, and continue to train them.
.
Of course, this is just the first step towards fulfilling the ambition to conquer the world.
But Sherlock has no particular interest in Blue's ambitions.
After Blue finished talking about his ambitions and plans, Blue suddenly seemed to have remembered something and said to Sherlock:
"By the way, Lord Sherlock has information about the messages Penguin Company has been sending you recently. Have you read it?"
"what news?"
Sherlock asked doubtfully, obviously he didn't care about any message sent to him by Penguin Company.
"It's about cooperating with us to promote the dungeon game, and having them invest in hosting the first national invitational tournament."
After Blue finished speaking, the computer in front of Sherlock suddenly opened, quickly entered the desktop, and popped up a file. Obviously, this was what Blue wanted Sherlock to see.
It will start soon. The content of the file on the page is sent by Penguin as Blue said. The content also provides multiple cooperation intentions and future cooperation plans, etc.
One of the more important ones is to promote nationwide public testing and open overseas servers. Another thing that interests Sherlock is the 1st National Invitational Tournament. The reason why it is not a global invitational tournament is because the game "Dungeon" currently does not have
The players playing on foreign servers are all from the same Eastern country.
"National Invitational Tournament? Can people in this world still compete? Like League of Legends?"
Sherlock thought for a while and asked. After all, he didn't expect that in this game besides players hacking each other in the wild, and fighting with guilds or individuals in the arena, there is anything else to compete in.
"I think it should be an arena game like World of Warcraft. Although the competitiveness and viewing value are not as good as games like League of Legends, as the only game in the world, I think if we hold a national invitational tournament, it will be more beneficial to the players.
Active mobilization is still very beneficial, and having a national invitational tournament before the open beta can also increase our popularity on a larger scale. After we occupy the World Tree and provide enough magic power for our open beta, we can invite more people.
Players join our dungeon."
"Well, it sounds interesting. Just send an email to Penguin to express our intention to cooperate and let them plan it in detail."
After Sherlock finished speaking, he closed the computer and lay down again, but Blue asked again:
"Then Sir Sherlock has something to do with the Demon Committee and the Ancient God Legion..."
