Professor Bacon took the note handed over by Sherlock, stuffed it into his pocket, then exhaled and said:
"But just now I almost thought you were going to kill me, Sir Sherlock. You just need to use some light and shadow magic..."
"Is this also for the artistic effect of the stage? Professor Bacon was shocked." Sherlock waved his hand.
"But it's not easy for you, Sir Sherlock. You often have to play games like this with these goblins... To be honest, it's quite shameful."
A slight blush appeared on Bacon's cheekbones.
"Hey, Professor Bacon may not believe it. They are like my family. As long as they can be well, it is nothing to me to do these shameful things. By the way, about letting them be the lich's training partner. What do you think of Professor Bacon?"
Sherlock sighed and said.
"Lord Sherlock, your group of goblins are indeed very good, but there seems to be something wrong with their brains. But as a training partner for the graduating lich, I mean a helper on the graduation project, there is no problem at all. After all, this job Work doesn’t require brains, just being able to fight and not being afraid of death will be enough. Your goblin family has proven these two points, so please don’t worry.”
Bacon nodded and said so.
"I feel relieved when the professor says this. By the way. Since there is no problem with the qualifications of these goblins, can you tell us in detail about the graduation project of your school? By the way, come to my office and talk. Come on."
Sherlock said, casting the invisibility magic for Bacon.
"It's natural..."
The two of them chatted while heading towards the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon.
—————
The players rushed back to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon immediately, chattering and excitedly discussing the plot animation they had just participated in personally.
After all, Lord Sherlock himself said that he wanted them to go back to the dungeon and find him again, and he would tell everyone the details of the matter.
The players happily returned to the dungeon and found Sherlock, but they were a little confused when they saw Sherlock with a big word "empty" on his head. Sherlock quickly informed them:
"I will tell you when I regain my strength."
Then the core hall was closed.
Sherlock is also busy discussing matters related to his graduation project with Professor Bacon, so he can't spare his time to tell stories to the players for the time being.
As for what to do with players’ doubts, of course, let Blue release a server-wide mission:
[Full server mission: Protect the weak demon lord Sherlock
Mission description: After the battle with Pei Mannolos Gen, the demon lord Sherlock became extremely weak. Pei Mannolos Gen's demon army may attack the eternal kingdom dungeon at any time. The heroes of the eternal kingdom , pick up your weapons and protect the best demon lord Sherlock! (Please note that players will not be able to use the resurrection function during the mission)
Task rewards: Daily construction tasks performed in the Eternal Kingdom dungeon will receive double rewards.]
As soon as this mission was released, the players in the entire Eternal Kingdom dungeon immediately entered a state of infrastructure madness. As for the main mission
It's okay, let Lord Sherlock rest for a while!
When players wield mining picks and dig wildly according to the planned area, carrying piles of stones and ores, running back and forth, cutting and polishing slates to lay floors, in order to complete the construction tasks, and obtain as many double points as possible When it comes to rewards.
In the simple dungeon core hall surrounded by earth colors.
A log-colored table and two small wooden benches cannot be said to be simple, but can only be said to be abject poverty.
Bacon seemed a little unaccustomed to such an environment. He sat on a stool, hitting the table with his hands, tapping his finger bones there.
Sherlock made a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea with blood-red bubbles in front of him, and then sat down:
"In other words, there are probably thousands of lichs graduating from your school every year, but in the past few decades, because of the inability to recruit enough personnel, tens of thousands of lichs have failed to graduate? Every graduating lich You have to prepare your own undead warriors by yourself, and you have to pass the assessment teacher's approval before you can graduate. It's really a very stringent graduation requirement. Your school is truly the most famous undead academy."
"After all, there are so many students, and testing the lich's combat effectiveness is not a matter of one or two minutes." Professor Bacon nodded, and then continued: "Of course, the main problem is that there are not enough people to test the graduates. That's right. Because of this, regarding the signing of the agreement and contract, we here hope that the sooner the better, because it is already the graduation season, but there has been no progress in recruiting testers, and our school is also very anxious. If those The goblins can be in place as soon as possible..."
When Bacon said this, he seemed to feel that there was something wrong with his expression, as if he was urging the goblins to come and die quickly, and added an explanation:
"I know that we should leave some time for those goblins to say goodbye to their families and so on, but considering the cost of teaching in our college, if those students do not graduate for one day, the cost will continue to increase, coupled with the accumulation of students themselves It has already damaged the reputation of our school. Recently, it is the golden age of dungeon development. Every dungeon is in urgent need of lichs. If we can sign the contract as soon as possible and start the graduation examination, it will be really great. alright."
"I understand, I fully understand! As the best college of the undead in our northern underground world, your school is the face of our northern education community. I will definitely give my full support. There is no big problem on my side. You can sign the contract now." Sherlock He continued: "It's just that I have a smaller question, that is, do you only recruit a thousand testers? But you just said that there are tens of thousands of lichs in your school who are still lining up to graduate, right?"
"What do you mean..." Professor Bacon's empty eyes lit up slightly and he leaned forward a little.
"A thousand people are not enough to die."
Sherlock said this seriously.
Professor Bacon was stunned for a moment, but quickly said:
"This... this is indeed a problem, but we can't embarrass you too much. It is already very... very difficult to recruit a thousand goblins to serve as sparring partners. If there are more, it is likely to cause labor in the underground world. Attention from the union, Sir Sherlock, you will get into trouble too, right?"
"Don't worry, how can this matter affect me? This is a voluntary matter for those goblins. I have also said before that they all have great ideals and dreams and are not willing to live in mediocrity. Lifelong Goblins can end their short lives in fierce battles, which is their dream and the destination of glory." Sherlock said with an impassioned look: "And I, and your school, are just pregnant. With grief, we can fulfill their long-cherished wish."
"Lord Sherlock, you really moved me. You are really the devil philanthropist of the new era!" Professor Bacon also became excited.
"Don't dare, I'm still a little worse than Professor Bacon." Sherlock waved his hand modestly and continued: "What I mean is very simple. There are so many graduates from your school who cannot graduate. I am Over there, there are many goblins waiting to start their own adventurous career. Why don't you just outsource your school's graduation project to me? We'll calculate the money based on the head, and don't set a specific number of people. I guarantee you The expectations are going to be low.”
"Of course, in order to protect the interests of your school, I will never recruit some shoddy goblins to participate in your school's graduation project, and let them die to pay for their heads, which is the recruitment fee." Sherlock promised He continued: "They must be Goblins who have been screened and have certain combat qualities. They strive to minimize the battle loss ratio and minimize the cost of your school. These can be written into the agreement and contract. Your school You can feel completely at ease!”
"That's great! Lord Sherlock, you are truly the most just devil I have ever seen!" After Bacon finished speaking, he quickly added: "Ah, I don't mean to scold you, I mean that, you understand. ?Please don’t misunderstand.”
"I understand, I completely understand." Sherlock raised his hand and continued: "If your school thinks there is no problem, then we will follow this agreement. We will discuss the specific details and standardize them. Once confirmed, we can sign. By the way. , Regarding the undead warriors brought by the lich, they should have their own equipment, right?"
"Yes, there are, but not many. Most of them should be skeleton soldiers without equipment. Is there any problem, Lord Sherlock?" Professor Bacon asked with some confusion.
"Oh, I just want to say, if those Goblins defeat the Lich's undead warriors, can the weapons, armors, etc. of those undead warriors be given to those Goblins as trophies as a reward for them? ?”
As soon as Sherlock finished speaking, Professor Bacon's empty eyes showed an expression of "I understand, I understand" and said:
"I understand what you mean, Sir Sherlock. The equipment prepared by the students will not be too expensive. It is perfectly fine to give it to the goblins as rewards. So there was no such rule before, but Sherlock Your Excellency has helped us solve such a big problem, and we can fully meet this requirement."
"The students' opinions..."
"Sir, Sir Sherlock can rest assured that we can resolve the students' opinions."
"Then the equipment that the goblins used after they died in battle..."
"Don't worry, Sir Sherlock, I will definitely return it intact."
Sherlock and Bacon looked at each other and smiled, Bacon's skull face must have been smiling, and the two reached a preliminary agreement.
Sherlock smiled and continued:
"Then let's continue talking about some details. You usually let the lich and the examiner fight one-on-one, but considering that the opponent is a goblin, compared to the goblin beastman and so on, after all, it is a little bit physiologically Disadvantage, I propose that two lichs fight against five goblins and conduct the assessment in the form of a copy!"
"Two lichs versus five goblins? In the form of a copy?" Bacon was a little confused at this point.
"Come, let me explain it to you..."
