515 Frangipani Saw Through Everything

Eggface dragged his fat body while he walked in the Dungeon towards the cave for holding the prisoners. That cave was dug two days ago by the gamers.

The prisoners were raw materials for producing Magic Stones, so they were guarded with the highest priority.

The gamers weren’t allowed to guard the prisoners!

The prison wardens were Eggface, Polio, and Phoenix, who took turns keeping watch. The old turtle Frangipani was on a hunger strike. The reason for not allowing the gamers to keep watch was simple. They freed George and Steamed Dumpling previously.

If they were two unimportant Humans, Sherlock wouldn’t mind. But now, there were thousands of prisoners who could provide a considerable amount of Magic Stones. Sherlock would never let the gamers free the prisoners.

However, it didn’t stop the gamers from trying to trigger Strange Encounter Missions.

Eggface became the gamers’ first target.

As a reputable Black Dragon, he couldn’t possibly stand while working.

To complete Lord Sherlock’s mission, Eggface made a lot of preparations.

Eggface placed a soft mat at the entrance of the prison. Then he dragged a table and obtained a pot of bloody chrysanthemum tea.

The most important item was a notebook computer.

That was his reward from Sherlock for working hard for the past few days. To obtain this notebook computer, Eggface didn’t sleep properly for tens of days. Instead, he helped Lord Sherlock complete missions and also maintained order in Eternal Kingdom.

It was a difficult life for a Black Dragon.

Eggface situated everything neatly before setting up his notebook computer. He then began “working”. However, voices were heard coming from outside the prison.

“Lord Eggface! Lord Eggface!”

Eggface humphed, irritated by the shouting outside. It was those troublesome Goblins again.

Those Goblins were the gamers of Eternal Kingdom. As a noble Black Dragon, he was friendly to the gamers who worshiped him. He shared his blood so that the gamers could become Houndhead Men. He also provided assistance and care when the gamers needed help. Like now.

“What is it?” Eggface put his notebook aside and shouted.

The imprisoned soldiers of the Godly Kingdom looked outside curiously. However, their surroundings had a barrier set up by Sherlock. If they wanted to escape, someone outside had to break the barrier. That was unless they acquired the strength to punch Sherlock to death.

That was an impossible feat.

Eggface shouted, but nobody came in. He waited for a while, then recalled that this was a prohibited area for the gamers.

Eggface dragged his fat body with great effort and stood up. He then lumbered towards the cave entrance.

There were many residents of Eternal Kingdom waiting outside. They looked happy and were seemingly waiting for Eggface.

When Eggface walked out of the cave, the gamers shouted excitedly.

“Lord Eggface! Lord Eggface, we love you!”

“Wah! It’s Eggface! Awesome!”

“I didn’t expect to see Eggface again. That’s so cool!”

The sounds of passionate cheering and worshiping engulfed Eggface.

Eggface remained calm. He was used to such a scene. As the second-in-command in Eternal Kingdom, it was normal for the residents to pay their respects.

“Tell me, what kind of help do you need?”

Eggface stood akimbo. Whenever the gamers needed help, they would fawn on him wildly!

Humph, how dare they use such lousy methods to gain his attention? Wishful thinking! Was he such an easy Dragon to pacify? Did they think he’d help based on their compliments and praises? It was hilarious! He, Eggface, would definitely help!

“Lord Eggface! I have a relative who is imprisoned inside. Can you help me release him?”

“My good friend is imprisoned inside. Please help me free him!”

“My friend is Golden-haired George. I’ll depend on you!”

The gamers requested for Eggface to release the prisoners.

Eggface remained silent for a while, then lifted his head and said, “Are you saying that the Humans inside are your relatives and friends? Is that correct?”

The gamers nodded in unison, causing Eggface to scratch his head. It was a tricky problem. He could help the gamers with other problems, but Lord Sherlock had prohibited them from getting close to the prisoners.

Eggface spent a second contemplating. Then he shook his head and said, “No, no. Lord Sherlock told me many times not to let you get close to the prisoners. Please leave. Even if you call me Daddy, I won’t let your relatives and friends out.”

Eggface returned to the cave. Even when the gamers shouted at the entrance, Eggface didn’t come out.

The gamers realized that they were unable to get Eggface to release the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom.

They could only leave disappointed. They had to think of other ways.

As the gamers left, a tortoise squinted his eyes and observed carefully.

Frangipani understood something. He slowly pushed his head into his shell while smiling sinisterly.
