Chapter 208: RawVegetables’ Inquiry

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Specter College Main Gate entrance.

“Pa ta, pa ta, pa ta—pom!”

A strong Beetlemon ran quickly and stopped at the entrance of Specter College.

A cloaked Lich stood at the entrance, waiting. When he saw a Devil coming down from the Beetlemon, he went forward to welcome him.

“Lord Sherlock! Apologies for not welcoming you at the Training Grounds. The school has been having meetings for the past few days. Apologies for not welcoming you personally!”

Professor Bacon was greeting Sherlock warmly.

“Thank you, Professor Bacon. I understand that you have meetings and matters to deal with. We’ll do away with the formalities.”

“Thank you, Lord Sherlock, for your understanding.”

Professor Bacon was feeling gratified and guilty at the same time.

“Yes, when you attend our graduation meeting, you may have to record a lot of information. I’ve prepared a secretary for you.”

Professor Bacon was about to shout for the secretary, but Sherlock raised his hand and said, “It’s not necessary. I’ve brought my own secretary.”

Behind him, the fat Eggface crawled down from the Beetlemon. His front claws were grasping a briefcase, and a pair of spectacles was perched in front of his eyes. If Eggface’s brash personality was discounted, he looked like a secretary.

Professor Bacon’s eyes lit up when he saw Eggface. He said to Sherlock excitedly, “Lord Sherlock is very capable. After setting up the Dungeon for a few short months, you’re already recruiting Black Dragons!”

“Oh, it’s nothing much. It’s just a small Dragon,” Sherlock said modestly. Then he shouted, “Eggface, this is Professor Bacon.”

“Greetings, Professor Bacon!” Eggface shouted as he adjusted the spectacles, which didn’t have any lenses, on his nose. He squeezed his wings and bowed deeply to Bacon.

“Ah, you’re very courteous!”

Professor Bacon was shocked. He lowered his head and bowed.

Sherlock was here to attend the meeting and not watch both of them bow to each other.

Professor Bacon led them to the meeting room.

Previously, Professor Bacon visited Winterfell or Eternal Kingdom to meet Sherlock, but this time, he invited Sherlock to the school for a meeting. The graduation issues weren’t boding well.

It was just as expected by Sherlock.

Sherlock and Eggface followed Professor Bacon to the meeting room. They saw a long table seated with Skeletons, who were Specter College’s Professors or management staff. The Lich sitting at the helm was the principal.

Professor Bacon introduced Sherlock and greeted all the Liches in the meeting room.

Sherlock greeted them solemnly and sat down.

Eggface also sat down and said to a nearby Lich, “I’d like to have a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea.”

The Lich was dumbstruck, but he quickly went to get a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea and placed it in front of Sherlock.

Then Eggface extended his claws and pulled the tea away. He finished the tea noisily and licked his lips with satisfaction. He asked, “Do you have more?”

While the other Liches were in a daze, a Lich with the name RawVegetables, who was sitting opposite Sherlock, stood up and gazed firmly at him.

“Are you Lord Sherlock?”

“Ah, we were introduced just now.” Sherlock nodded.

“Lord Sherlock! I hope we can deal with the issues seriously. Though you are helping us with the graduation issues, if you maintain such a poor attitude, I’m afraid we won’t be able to collaborate any further. In fact, due to your combatants, our graduation rate didn’t increase. Instead, it has plummeted!”

The Lich, RawVegetables, said loudly, “Due to the contractual agreement, the equipment of the Liches was taken away by your combatants. Though the equipment wasn’t worth a lot, it feels like the college has cheated them of their equipment. The crux is the graduation problem. The parents of the students came to the college numerous times to protest!”

“That... Madam RawVegetables, if the students are unable to graduate, that’s not a bad thing either, as the college can collect school fees,” the principal said with a pacifying tone.

Madam RawVegetables slammed on the table and shouted loudly, “Principal! Please be more serious! We are discussing a practical issue! If we don’t solve this issue, the reputation of Specter College will be adversely affected!”

The principal was scolded by Madam RawVegetables, and he kept quiet.

“I don’t think the problem you raised is a problem. Two Liches are to fight against five Goblins. Even if the Goblins are swapped with Gnomes, aren’t four Liches supposed to fight the Gnomes?” Sherlock said calmly, “According to norms, Liches are supposed to be commanders on the battlefield, controlling the Specter Army to attack the enemies. If they can’t even defeat common Goblins, then such graduated Liches will be of poor quality, don’t you think so?”

The other Liches started discussing.

“Quiet. Keep quiet!” The principal raised his hand and controlled the chaotic situation.

“You have a valid point.” Madam RawVegetables took out an Adamantine Rock and placed it on the table. With an infusion of Mana, images started appearing.

In the images, a few Gnomes cut open several bladders. A half-naked Gnome sang strange incantations and activated Mana before charging at the Skeleton BOSS. After a huge explosion, the entire image was filled with an inferno.

Then the images stopped.
