Gamers of the Underworld

Chapter 242: New Winterfell Dungeon Lord

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Compliments for the new Dark Rider!”

Sherlock skipped over the title of the newspaper and looked at the contents.

“It’s really good. We have just obtained 100,000 Magic Stones out of the blue. If only there was such a tournament every year.” Bru said thoughtfully, “Now, Arthur and Beast are probably meeting Beast’s ex-wife. I wonder what will happen. It’s a pity we aren’t able to watch such drama in close proximity. If Beast’s ex-wife agrees to help him and Beast leaves the Dungeon, what shall we do? Though I don’t like the Power of Sacred Light, without a Grand Priest like Beast, it’s a great loss to us. There won’t be a second chance like this. And it’s free too.”

“I believe in Onionhead’s capability. Since he decided to have Beast leave Winterfell, he would have done some preparations. We shouldn’t be concerned.” Sherlock waved his waved and asked, “How’s Marco Polo doing?”

“He has successfully assimilated with the decadent inhabitants. Those poor inhabitants learn together with Marco Polo daily and treat him like a teacher.” Bru was amused and said, “Because of this, the shop in the old district is almost completed. Only the business application and official approval need to be completed before we can start our business. What does Lord Sherlock intend to use the shop for? Besides doing business, are you accepting missions? I suggest categorizing the missions according to Level S, A, B, like in ‘Naruto’. The main thing is to give titles to the gamers and give the adventurers different levels.”

“In order for them to increase their adventurer levels, they have to complete certain Daily Missions and pay a certain amount of coins and Reputation Points. This will be perfect.” Sherlock nodded confidently and then asked, “What is ‘Naruto’?”

“It’s a famous comic and a comic initiator for the otherworld.”

“I understand. I’ll make arrangements to read it. The Gundam you recommended is pretty good.”

“Lord Sherlock, it’s good that you like it. As a side note, your planning is fabulous.”

Sherlock and Bru discussed the matter of the Adventurer’s Guild. As it concerned the gameplay of the gamers and the possible revenue of Sherlock, it had to be properly planned.

...

Beast was feeling anxious. With the company of Arthur, he waited for his ex-wife.

The night banquet was arranged at the Winterfell Dungeon Lord Main Hall, which was pretty classy.

Arthur sat with emotion in the chair, while Beast was disguised as an attendant and stayed by Arthur’s side. To make it more realistic, Sherlock created large green Chinese words above Beast’s head that said “Beast”.

The disguise was working very well as nobody was suspicious of Beast.

After a long time, a female Orc who claimed to be Onionhead’s daughter arrived and sat close to Arthur.

As Arthur was about to relinquish his seat to Beast, Beast pressed down on his shoulders and shook his head. The meaning was clear:

This female Orc wasn’t Beast’s ex-wife!

...

In the building opposite the Banquet Hall, Onionhead was standing by the window with his hands behind his back.

He could see clearly Arthur and the female Orc having dinner from the window.

The entire dinner was within Onionhead’s surveillance.

“Great Judge, Lord Sherlock is very cooperative. He didn’t make use of the chance for Beast to meet your daughter.”

The elderly Orc stood beside Onionhead and watched Arthur having dinner.

“Lord Sherlock is very trustworthy. Moreover, I’m well prepared. I won’t let my daughter meet Beast.”

Onionhead pulled the curtains and sat in the chair as he said, “How’s the transfer process going?”

“The arrangements are almost complete. The new Dungeon Lord will arrive together with the new Dungeon Core. They’ll arrive the day after tomorrow.” The elderly Orc took out a briefcase and said, “I placed the transfer arrangements in the briefcase. After the transfer process, you may assume your new post.”

Onionhead nodded and inhaled deeply as he gazed outside the window.

“I hope everything runs smoothly. I’m counting on you, Lord Sherlock.”

...

The huge Airship landed at the entrance of Eternal Kingdom and floated into the Dungeon. It was moored at the empty space near the exit.

Yoda, Beast, and Arthur came down from the Airship consecutively.

Beast was depressed, and Arthur frowned while trying to comfort him.

“Don’t be too sad. Perhaps your ex-wife has already remarried?”

“Wah!”

Beast ran off while sobbing.

The affairs of Beast came to an end. After completing the Hidden Mission by accompanying Beast to the banquet, Arthur didn’t obtain any good rewards.

He only obtained some Reputation Points and game currency.

Not every Strange Encounter Mission would have good rewards. For example, the reward for Beast’s Strange Encounter Mission wasn’t impressive.

The only good thing was that Arthur got a trip to the Winterfell Dungeon Lord Main Hall and had a free dinner. He couldn’t stand the Orc who thought she was pretty flirting with him the whole night.

When the Airship landed, the gamers gathered and surrounded Arthur to ask about the Strange Encounter Mission.

Sherlock stood at the entrance of the Dungeon Lord Main Hall and observed Arthur and his companions. Then he went inside and shut the door.

Eggface was sitting on the ground. In front of him were some wood and metal pieces placed vertically on the ground. They looked like the arrangement of a small city.

Eggface held a huge, Dragon-shaped piece of mud in his front claws as he muttered, “I am the reincarnation of calamity! Ao!”

Then he put the mud in the midst of the “city” to indicate the destruction of the city.

Sherlock walked to Eggface, but he didn’t interrupt Eggface’s game. Bru said in Sherlock’s mind, “Dungeon Lord Onionhead will be handing over Winterfell in a few days. Does Lord Sherlock want to blackmail him for a sum of money? If he doesn’t comply, you can lodge a complaint at the Merchant Alliance.”

“I’m a principled Devil. How can I do such a thing? Moreover, Onionhead helped me to obtain numerous rewards and benefits and let me take care of his son-in-law.”

Sherlock sounded convincing.

“I wonder what the new Dungeon Lord will be like. I hope that he’s an amicable creature. Hopefully, the new Dungeon Lord won’t interfere with you setting up the Adventurer’s Guild in Winterfell,” Bru said thoughtfully.

“We’ll know soon enough.”

Sherlock sat in the chair and propped up both his hands.

“The big question is whether we can get along with Andrew.”

“Andrew? Lord Sherlock, what are you talking about?”

Bru was shocked.

“This news isn’t out yet. When the Winterfell Dungeon Core arrives the day after tomorrow, Andrew will announce the news himself. The reason why he didn’t let out the news is to observe the situation first.”

Sherlock said confidently, “He bought the Dungeon Lord post with a few billion Magic Stones. That isn’t something extraordinary.”
