Chapter 584: Alexandria's Conspiracy

It was a green-skinned Goblin. She was wearing a white and pink maid costume with a demure expression on her face. Her feet were pointing inwards, and her knees were together.

She placed the bloody chrysanthemum tea on the table in front of Sherlock before covering her flat chest with the serving tray nervously.

Though she was a Goblin, with her demure and pitiful behavior, it created a feeling in the onlookers...

The onlookers felt like they were up to mischief.

Sherlock was wearing his large coat, and Eggface was wearing a coffee-colored overcoat. Sherlock was dressed like "Detective Sherlock Holmes", while Polio was dressed like "Puss in Boots", wearing a large green hat.

The parrot, Phoenix, was dressed like the parrot from "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The three of them were dressed like the characters of the movies that they had watched.

The black kitten, Polio, placed his legs on the table and had a lit Uranium stick in his mouth. The Uranium stick was bright red in color, an indication of its high temperature. Polio spoke in a strange tone as he said, "What? Only a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea, meow?"

"Oh? The customer only ordered a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea..."

Raintea was taken aback and backed up. Phoenix flew up from the side and placed his wing on one side of Raintea's face. Then Phoenix shouted loudly, "Are you looking down on us? Ah!"

"No... it's not that..."

Eggface leaned back and crossed both of his legs together. He pursed his lips and gargled before he said, "Shut up! What the heck! Ooo loo loo loo, you're obviously looking down on us!"

"Scram! Give us a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea each, meow!"

Raintea backed up in shock and nodded as she said, "Apologies, I'll go get the tea..."

Pom.

When Raintea was about to get the three cups of bloody chrysanthemum tea, she heard a series of noises.

Then she heard Sherlock say, "Apologies. Don't get the tea for the three of them, I don't have enough Magic Stones."

Raintea was surprised. She noticed the three arrogant pricks sitting obediently in their seats.

Sherlock said, "Thank you, you may leave."

"Oh, apologies. Please enjoy your tea!"

Raintea hurried off after speaking.

The ringing of a bell was heard.

Someone pushed open the cafe door.

Cat's Urine Cafe was a bold venture by the gamers in Venice.

The size of the cafe was small, and business wasn't brisk.

When the second customer entered within a short period of time, the cafe owners were surprised.

"Welcome!"

Raintea went forward to greet the customers. Before she had the chance to speak, the customer lifted his sticky hand and said, "I'm not a customer, I'm here to find someone."

It was a stylish Sludge Monster who was wearing a gray western overcoat.

The Sludge Monster slithered into the cafe and emitted "Hoo loo loo" slimy sounds. Behind him was a trail of transparent and sticky liquid that looked like jelly.

Raintea waited for the Sludge Monster to pass by, then looked in despair at the trails left behind.

How was she going to clean it?

The Sludge Monster sat opposite Sherlock. A pair of eyes peered out from within the western coat, and a voice said, "I almost couldn't recognize you, Lord Sherlock."

The Sludge Monster looked around before saying, "Why are you here at the cafe?"

Sherlock leaned back and said, "Because this is a safe place. There's no chance of someone eavesdropping."

"Someone's eavesdropping on you?"

"For example, the Gnome behind you is leaning on the sofa and eavesdropping. That's a low-class method of eavesdropping."

The Sludge Monster was taken aback. He straightened himself and looked at the sofa behind him.

A Gnome with the word "Peasant" above his head was slumped on the sofa. When he heard Sherlock's conversation, he immediately stood up.

He whistled as he walked past. When he noticed Sherlock and the Sludge Monster staring at him, he said, "I wasn't eavesdropping."

The Sludge Monster stood up, and his body expanded. The whistling Peasant gaped in astonishment at the expanding Sludge Monster, then collapsed to the ground.

He had gone offline.

The Sludge Monster looked in surprise at the collapsed Gnome. Then he heard Sherlock say, "Don't bother with him. He won't be online for some time."

"Online?"

"I mean, awake."

The Sludge Monster sat down after hearing Sherlock's explanation and put both of his hands on the table.

The sludge on his body fell on the table and made a "dong" sound. The excess transparent sludge flew towards Sherlock's cup.

Sherlock lifted his hand and pulled the cup back, so the excess sludge dropped behind the cup. None of it fell into the cup.

"Let's not bother with the trivial matters. What new information do you have?" Sherlock asked as he looked at the Sludge Monster.

"I have news regarding the new Dungeon Lord, Alexandria. Does Lord Sherlock want to know?"

Sherlock nodded and said, "Of course. Alexandria came to Winterfell before, and I have met him twice. What information do you have about him?"

"Hmm," the Sludge Monster said as he looked around warily. Then he trembled and spat out a rhombus crystal from his body.

The crystal was dripping with sticky liquid, and a pool was formed on the table.

"This is an item given to me by my client. It was supposedly taken from the treasure vault of Alexandria."

"Alexandria's treasure vault? I didn't know he had one." Sherlock nodded and was deep in thought.

Polio came over and looked sharply at the rhombus crystal. He said in a mysterious tone, "This... crystal is full of darkness, meow!"

Phoenix flapped his wings and landed on the table before scrutinizing the crystal. He said in astonishment, "This... this is!"

A claw extended and grasped the rhombus crystal, then Eggface put it into his mouth. His teeth pushed the crystal deep into his mouth.

Then there were crunching sounds. Eggface chewed the crystal into many fragments.

Eggface didn't expect that he could break the black crystal into many fragments.

He spat out the fragments and said anxiously, "Er... it wasn't intentional."

Black mist drifted from the crystal fragments.

There was a voice coming out from the mist that said, "Ah... I'm freed... dead!"

Then there was a soft wailing sound before the black mist vanished.

It was a strange phenomenon, but it sounded familiar.

"Was that your brother?" Phoenix asked as he looked at Polio.

As one of the 72 Devil Gods, Polio had the capability to transform into such a mist.

The mist was similar to Polio's skill. However, the mist didn't manage to survive outside the crystal for too long.

"What's going on, meow? That Alexandria captured a brother whom I didn't know of, meow!" Polio shouted loudly.

"What's with your subordinates?"

The Sludge Monster looked at Sherlock in a strange way, but Sherlock didn't mind. Sherlock waved his hand, and the Black Dragon, black kitten, and parrot were sent flying to the sofa.

"They are rather mischievous," Sherlock said as he smiled.

"Are you telling me that Alexandria is researching the capabilities of the 72 Devil Gods?"

"That's right. But it's not his main goal. Besides the skill to transform into black mist, Alexandria is planning a horrible event!"

The Sludge Monster bent down and edged closer to Sherlock.

The Sludge Monster stretched his upper body, and a trail of sticky liquid was left behind.

The Sludge Monster said softly, "He's reviving Michelangelo."

"Wait, he's reviving Michelangelo? What has that got to do with the 72 Devil Gods?" Phoenix flapped his wings and asked in astonishment.

The Sludge Monster said, "Each capability of the 72 Devil Gods is required to unlock the secret to reviving Michelangelo. When all the capabilities of the 72 Devil Gods are gathered, they can revive Michelangelo."

Both Phoenix and Polio were bewildered.
