Gamers of the Underworld (Web Novel)
chapter-216

“So, Lord Sherlock wants me to research a Magical Item that can show a live video?” Brainiac thought for a while and said, “Can’t we use the round Adamantine rock directly to record and watch the video?”

“If we use it to watch videos, it’ll work, but I’m thinking of a Magical Item that will receive video at any time and place for a live stream. Do you understand?”

Sherlock explained the meaning of live stream, to which Brainiac nodded.

Sherlock gave this difficult task to Brainiac. As he was about to leave, Brainiac said, “Lord Sherlock, I have modified the previous 100 Houndhead Man eggs according to your instructions. They are very cute.”

Brainiac took out a locked chest from the Burial Ground.

The gamers were outside the Burial Hall. When Sherlock was speaking with Brainiac, he wouldn’t let them come in.

Brainiac opened the chest with Mana. There were various items in the chest like crystal balls, Magic Powder, newspapers, a rubber ducky, a bicycle pump, a pink bell, a feather pen, plasticine, a stool, a pacifier, and bolster. At one corner were a hundred small eggs. Sherlock could grab four to five eggs using one hand.

“How do you incubate them?” Sherlock took one egg and examined it.

“Put it beside a fire for a while.”

Sherlock nodded and took the Houndhead Man eggs.

“How is Lord Sherlock going to use these Houndhead Man eggs?” Bru asked.

“To reward the hardworking servants.”

Sherlock returned to the Dungeon Lord Main Hall and accessed his computer.

The door of the Dungeon Lord Main Hall opened.

“Hoo, after absorbing the mixed water and fire elements in the air, I feel my body packed with the Power of Darkness.”

Eggface was covered with a white towel as he dragged his fat short legs and walked in. He muttered to himself and walked to the shelf containing the box of bloody chrysanthemum tea.

“Wait a moment. What are you doing?” Sherlock lifted his head and looked at Eggface.

“The crimson red pellets with hidden mysterious power are the source of power for the King of Darkness!” Eggface said as he tiptoed to reach the box of bloody chrysanthemum tea. Then he pulled it open.

“Talk normally.”

Eggface lifted his head, opened his eyes widely, and sniffed in his mucus while he was still brewing his tea.

“I want to drink the bloody chrysanthemum tea…”

“Tsk, let’s sell this small Black Dragon for money. It’s a shame for a small Black Dragon to have such behavior. Tens of thousands of years ago, during the Great War, when Huge Dragons extended their wings and covered the sky, they incinerated the lands with their breath. If I hadn’t witnessed the war, I would think that the legend is a bluff, especially when I see that small Black Dragon.”

Bru spoke regretfully in Sherlock’s mind, but Sherlock didn’t respond. He looked at Eggface, who had finished brewing his tea. Eggface said, “Please Lord Sherlock… Goo loo, goo loo. Tsk, it’s really nice.”

Eggface finished his cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea and put it back. Then he removed the white towel, found a stool, and sat right beside Sherlock.

“Is Lord Sherlock playing that rolling Undead character? I’ll be your mentor.”

“No, underaged Dragons aren’t allowed to watch. I don’t intend to play now.”

Sherlock shook his head. He wanted to finish the contents of the update.

“Just play for a while. I feel that you should relax now.”

Eggface placed his claws on Sherlock’s arm.

As Sherlock was about to grab Eggface’s wings and throw him out, Bru’s voice was heard.

“Lord Sherlock, there’s a Merchant Band from Winterfell at Entrance No. 3. If I’m not wrong, they should be the Baron Nicholas’ Merchant Band.”

“Eggface, take your stuff, I’m receiving guests.”

Sherlock stuffed a briefcase into the arms of Eggface. Then he took out a black coat from the chest and walked towards Entrance No. 3.

Eggface wanted to stay back and watch the Undead game, but he was unable to defy Sherlock’s order.

Eggface took out a pair of golden-rimmed spectacles and placed them on his face. Then he followed Sherlock.

Sherlock walked directly to Entrance No. 3. The gamers noticed both of them and knew that there was a Plot Animation, so they followed Sherlock and Eggface.

They were able to review the previous Plot Animations on the official website since Sherlock let Bru upload the videos from the Adamantine rock to the website.

However, the gamers preferred to watch the Plot Animation live.

After Sherlock walked out of Entrance No. 3 with Eggface, the gamers were unable to follow as Sherlock didn’t allow access.

Soon, Sherlock saw Nicholas’ Merchant Band in the distance.

Nicholas was sitting on top of a Beetlemon. After spotting Sherlock, a large swarm of bats appeared next to Nicholas and covered his entire body. After that, the bats flew to Sherlock and dispersed. Nicholas stood in front of Sherlock and bowed deeply to him.

“Respectable Lord Sherlock, you have come to welcome me personally. I feel very honored.”

“You’re too formal, Lord Nicholas. We have a close relationship.”

Sherlock patted Nicholas’ shoulders warmly. When he noticed Nicholas staring at Eggface, Sherlock explained casually, “This is my secretary, Eggface. Eggface, greet Baron Nicholas.”

Eggface walked up and adjusted his spectacles. Then, he squeezed his wings together and bowed deeply to Nicholas.

“Greetings, Baron Nicholas, I’m Eggface.”

“You are too polite. Lord Eggface may call me Lassie.”
