In the dim underground city, the academic master stood at his workplace, an empty room next to the blacksmith shop.
The surroundings of the room have been paved with stone wall tiles, matching the floor tiles, and the entire room is gray.
Just like how my classmate is feeling now.
There were some goblins surrounding it, and more were standing outside the room.
Each of them had a curious look on their face. In fact, this was the first time they had really seen a lich.
And they have also maintained their consistent spirit of exploring new things.
Since the version 0.04 update log has updated so much content about academic masters, players should also try it, especially the [research of academic masters] and the [failed research], these two tasks
.
Keen players can tell at a glance that there is a plot! If there is no plot, what is the use of this small official update? Is it just to tease the players? Treat the players as guinea pigs?
impossible!
The game "Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom" originally has very few NPCs.
In addition to Winterfell in the background, there is also the dungeon city master exchange meeting that the three talents participated in during the special mission.
There are really too few NPCs that the players have come into contact with. Counting all the NPCs they have spoken to, they are Simba, Mufasa, Moros, the Goblin and Sherlock.
Now that a top student suddenly comes, the situation is like putting a man on an island with only women.
After Sherlock performed a great transformation in front of the top student, he took the astonished top student around the dungeon and gave a general introduction to the existing buildings in the dungeon and his plans for the future.
After planning the building, he finally took the top student back to his room and asked him to do research and work well.
Then he left.
The players who lost the restraint of the demon's pressure rushed over like a green tide.
Then they started their daily, crazy chat:
"What a great comment, Lich. I wonder if there is a Lich King."
"Can I switch to undead?"
"Why isn't there any drama?"
"What is that academic research? Do I need to pay to participate? How do I get the task?"
"He's not talking. Is this mission triggered randomly?"
"Can I crack his bones?"
"It's better to say goodbye. It's scary to look at this skeleton, and it's even scarier not to speak."
"Can I chop him?"
"Want to eat dirt?"
"Do you have [Warcraft feces] on you?"
"Is there a store? Do you sell anything? Is there anything in that suitcase? Isn't it going to be searched?"
"Don't say it, it's better not to say anything..."
"The GM warned me not to chop him..."
…………
The goblins nearby made a buzzing sound like bees emerging from the nest, but the top student didn't answer a word.
It's not that he doesn't bother to answer, or that he's not curious about these players' questions, but it's because of one of the clauses in the contract he signed with Sherlock:
[11. Without Party A’s permission, Party B is not allowed to communicate privately with the people of the underground city. 】
The top student didn't say a word, and the goblins seemed to have quickly lost their patience. They no longer chatted around the top student, but started chatting with each other, and then dispersed while chatting.
.
Occasionally, a few injured or equipped goblins seek help from the top students.
To put it simply, it is to help them treat wounds or repair corpses.
A top student who graduated from the Academy of the Dead is certainly 100% qualified for a job like this.
But those who are competent are those who are competent. Those who are injured and immediately run around alive and kicking after treatment can still be understood to be strong-willed.
But those corpses that were obviously dead and could no longer die, just repaired their corpses, and they could get up and jump around in the next second. This was a bit beyond the scope of the academic master's knowledge.
How did these goblins gain immortality?!
Or in other words, why were their souls not taken away to the underworld?
The top student frowned, knowing that the study of these goblins had just begun.
He took out paper and pen and wrote on it:
"[The first day of Eternal Kingdom dungeon research]
1: The Goblins in the Eternal Kingdom dungeon have a special kind of immortality. After they die, as long as their bodies are repaired, they can be resurrected soon. Are there any limitations to this condition of immortality?
, so far, is an important research direction in the future.
2: The Goblins in the Eternal Kingdom show extraordinary sociality, which has never been seen in the Goblin groups studied before. This includes trade, group detachment, mutual storage of items, and care for injured companions.
, building buildings with a high degree of division of labor, etc. How to cultivate low-IQ goblins to have such complex social behaviors is also a topic for future research.
3: The Eternal Kingdom dungeon will use the currency of the surface world for mutual transactions. At present, it seems to be one of the lord's methods to motivate these goblins, which shows that these goblins lack common sense.
4: The Eternal Kingdom dungeon seems to be very poor, but this is unreasonable.
5: Some of the goblins in the eternal kingdom will show a state of chaos. They are like crazy people. They will try to rummage through my luggage in front of me, try to touch me, and even try to
Kill me, but there seems to be some force preventing them from doing so. This makes me more certain that Lord Sherlock has used some unknown means against them, and the negative effects have been extremely great.
6: I feel like I’ve been cheated more and more..."
——————
The Eternal Kingdom welcomes a top Lich student.
In addition to making the players excited for a while, the "NPCs" who originally lived in the eternal kingdom also came to welcome the academic master. After all, in the eyes of the "NPCs", this lich is
People who are traveling with me.
You must know that in the Eternal Kingdom dungeon where most of the people are crazy goblins, normal people like them are a minority among the minority, and the goblins are not included.
Sherlock still welcomes the friendly interactions between employees, but it seems that the top students don't get along well with them.
Mufasa, Simba and Moros took advantage of the fact that most of the players were offline in the middle of the night. Each of them brought a bag of soil and a bottle of chrysanthemum tea, and went to find the top student. Not long after, they were alone.
When a bag of soil came out, Simba still had half a bottle of broken chrysanthemum tea in his hand.
Even in the core of the dungeon, Sherlock heard Simba's angry voice:
"If you don't want to drink it, don't drink it. Without saying a word, you pick up my chrysanthemum tea and sprinkle it on the ground along the bones. Who are you looking down on? So I hate these kind of lichs who come from higher education institutions. I kindly invite them to drink chrysanthemum tea every time.
, they all look down upon people like this!”
Mufasa also said a few words of comfort from the side, but he couldn't hear clearly what was said.
Simba was pulled away by Mufasa and Moros, cursing and walking further and further away.
The top student stood alone at the door of his cave room, watching Simba and the others go away. After watching for a while, he silently turned around and went back.
"It seems that it will take a while for this lich to integrate into the eternal kingdom, but his professional skills are really nothing to say. The body he repaired is only a little worse than the one you repaired yourself, Lord Sherlock."
After Blue finished speaking, seeing that Sherlock had no reaction, he continued:
"Lord Sherlock, before hiring the academic master, I can understand why you deliberately ignored him, but now that he has signed the contract, shouldn't he be given some love from the demon lord?"
"After all, this lich only signed a one-year contract with you. If you haven't influenced him with love after one year, are you going to just let him leave the eternal kingdom? Didn't you say that the devil is just playing tricks?
Is it based on people’s hearts? I think now is the time to play with the top student’s heart!”
"But the lich has no heart." Sherlock spread his hands:
"It's really too much for you to ask me to play with someone who has no heart."
"Lord Sherlock, if I met you on the first day, I might have believed what you said." Blue sighed and said a little helplessly:
"It looks like you already have a plan, but you just don't want to share it with me. It really makes me, a loyal assistant, very sad."
"I'm a little surprised that you, a dungeon core, are still sad." Sherlock smiled and said nothing more.
Red flames suddenly flashed, and a letter was spit out from the flames. Sherlock picked up the letter and took a look. Then the letter in his hand burned and burned to ashes in Sherlock's hands.
He picked up the coat that was placed on the box, put the coat on himself, and then walked out of the core of the dungeon.
"Let's put aside the matter of the academic master for now. Now that he has arrived in the eternal kingdom, he has nothing to worry about. His purpose is to research. These players from other worlds are enough for him to study for a long time. Even if I don't do anything
, he will come to me to renew his contract after one year.”
Sherlock smiled and headed in the direction of the portal.
"Lord Sherlock? That letter is very concerning." Blue asked as he watched Sherlock prepare to leave the dungeon.
"It's really interesting. I'll go out for a walk." Sherlock's figure disappeared into the portal:
"Take good care of your home, Blue."
