Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Awake? That fast?
Sherlock put the keyboard and mouse away and shut off the computer screen. He stood up and followed the gar to the little Fairy.
The little Fairy was hugging her knees and had curled herself up on a simple bed made of mud and so rhizos. The bed had been constructed by the gars.
The nearby tens of gars had put aside their missions upon seeing the Fairy waking up. They had surrounded the Fairy in curiosity. She would be responsible for cultivating dicinal herbs and making dicines. However, the news of her unwillingness had already been spread by NotWearingPants.
Such an NPC with conflicting objectives would definitely have a hidden special mission! It was the sa case with Arthur and NotWearingPants who had received hidden missions.
“Do you want to drink water?”
“Would you like to have so flowers? I just plucked them! There’s still mud on it!”
“Do you have missions for ? I’m very strong!”
“My Reputation is already more than 500. Can I take on more missions?”
“Teach how to cultivate dicinal herbs or make dicine! I have money!”
The gars tried all kinds of ways to attract the Fairy’s attention, but she continued hugging her knees in fear. She looked around but kept quiet.
The gars noticed that their efforts did not have any effect. Instead, the Fairy was more fearful. They started chatting again.
“It’s not right. There’s no effect!”
“The hidden mission can’t be that simple!”
“Perhaps the new missions haven’t been refreshed yet. Do we have to wait for the next update?”
“It’s a possibility!”
“It’s Lord Sherlock! Give way, give way! The dramatic cut scene is starting!”
The gars saw Sherlock approaching and quickly made way. The previously boisterous gars beca quiet. They looked silently in anticipation of the unfolding drama.
The Fairy saw Sherlock approaching. As his towering figure edged closer, she curled herself into a ball.
“Let introduce myself. I’m the Eternal Kingdom’s Dungeon Lord Sherlock and your new master. Little Fairy, let ask you a question. Would you like to go ho?”
Sherlock maintained his cordial smile, but the Fairy trembled in silence.
“Seems like you are still wary. I’ll be direct with you. If you want to go ho, I’m willing to do business with you. If you help cultivate dicinal herbs, make dicines and bring 50,000 Magic Stones in profit, I’ll let you go ho. We can make a contract.”
The Fairy suddenly shouted in her shrill voice, “Devil! I will never do business with the Devil! Whoever deals with the Devil will have their souls condemned forever! Even if I starve to death, I will never help you!”
Though she shouted aggressively, she curled herself into a ball again after the refusal.
“Talk to when you change your mind.”
Sherlock turned to walk away. He had no intention of interacting with the Fairy. The gars started chatting.
“What’s the situation? The negotiation failed?”
“What’s going to happen? Does it an we can’t cultivate dicinal herbs?”
“Can’t you see? This mission is ant for us!”
As the gars were chatting with excitent, Bru said to Sherlock in his mind, “Aren’t you going to coax her a bit more? Or tie her up, give her a good beating and torture her?”
Sherlock walked back as he said, “Your misunderstanding of the Devil is still stagnated at hundreds of years ago. The new generation Devils do not torture for fun. We play with the feelings of the heart.”
“Good, I’ll continue to give out missions to take care of the Fairy,” Bru said.
The gars surrounded the Fairy in a bid to unlock the hidden mission. Sherlock did not stop them as they would be working hard to earn bronze coins and Reputation later. He was well aware of their habits. They wanted Sherlock to set so goals. They would achieve them one by one and receive rewards and entertainnt.
Sherlock left the Fairy and returned to the Dungeon Core Main Hall to browse the Discussion Forum. It had beco his hobby. Sherlock was not worried about the Fairy as manipulation of the heart would take so ti.
The gars started to lose their patience with the Fairy. No matter what they said, she would not respond. So gars wanted to poke her, but they were stopped by other gars. It was not easy to have a special mission NPC. If they antagonized her and the mission was aborted, what were they going to do? The gars didn’t want to bully such an adorable Fairy. Though the gars treated her like an NPC, the ga world was too realistic.
The Fairy curled up her body and ignored her surroundings. She was ntally prepared for torture, but the towering Devil did not torture her. Instead, she was given the choice to go ho. She was not interested in doing business with the Devil. Even if she wanted to go ho and was tempted by the offer, her family mbers had warned her never to do business with the Devil.
She suppressed her emotional upheaval and ignored the Devil’s temptation. The Goblins had surrounded her once again and she was prepared to be tortured by them. Goblins were such filthy, evil and despicable creatures!
The Fairy was puzzled because the filthy Goblins did not torture her. Since she had woken up, they had been chatting enthusiastically in front of her. She could not figure out what they were chatting about, especially the parts about hidden missions and NPCs. She also felt their warmth and... friendliness!
The Fairy felt a sense of friendliness that she had not encountered since she had been captured in the Underworld! The Goblins did not treat her as a slave. Instead, they were respectful of her, as though they were pleading her for sothing. They neither tortured nor scolded her. They treated her with care, and soone had even built her a bed! That was the mud and rhizo bed underneath her. Though it was a bit rundown, to a caged Fairy, the mud and the rhizos were like treasures. As least she could sll the fragrance of the soil and the rhizo juice.
Ah... such longing... for ho...
She lay down on the mud and rhizo bed and slowly drifted into a deep sleep.
In the next two days, the flowerbed was completed, and the excavated space was filled with thick layers of soil. Underground water could be retrieved using buckets in the constructed well. Though the gars did not need water, they queued up to have a taste of the underground water.
Although the flowerbed was complete, the seeds from [Secret Garden] had not been planted yet so the cultivation could not start. A few days had passed, and the Fairy had no intention of yielding. Sherlock was not worried since she would yield one day unless she did not want to go ho.
On the official discussion forum, the Fairy topped the list in the postings. The front pages of the posts were all filled with the words “Little Fairy”. The gars were putting all their attention on the Fairy as they did various analysis and formulated strategies. So gars even read up on Tolkien’s tales and told the stories to the little Fairy!
No matter how the gars tried, the little Fairy did not respond. The gars still indulged in their fun as they attempted various ways to attract her attention.
There were so gars who did not put all their attention on the Fairy. NotWearingPants and Arthur had failed a few tis to attract her attention, so they focused on organizing the latest expedition to explore the Spiders’ Lair. They seed to have a good relationship. Though Arthur seldom talked, he was always with NotWearingPants.
After a few days of carrying bricks and spending Renminbi to purchase bronze coins, thirty gars were equipped with weapons and armor. They were ready to set out on their expedition.
On the fifth morning of the Beta Testing, the ard gars completed their swearing ceremony in the Dungeon Core Main Hall. The other gars looked on solemnly. Then, the contingent of thirty Goblins set out towards the Spiders’ Lair.
