Chapter 253: Undesirable Learning Condition

“I defeated the most feared leader of the Houndhead Men and battled the Tsunami-like Ancient G.o.ds army. I also thwarted the conspiracies of the Liches in Specter College and saved everyone from the calamity. I even solved the speeding issue in Winterfell. After being a Gnome for a few months, I feel that the potential of a Gnome is unlimited. There is nothing we can’t do, except for Advanced Mathematics!”

The Gnome BurningChestHair said to a local little Gnome, “I can’t do it. I can’t solve this question.”

The location was in the old district of Winterfell. The background was a construction site that was starting to develop a building.

The Eternal Kingdom Adventurer’s Guild was being rapidly constructed. The 2,000 gamers completed the design blueprint within a night. After being approved by Sherlock, a few hundred gamers became workers. With the leaders.h.i.+p of Hemp Rope Technology and some construction expert gamers, the development speed was like a rocket s.h.i.+p.

The gamers didn’t need to rest, eat, or drink and could do without salary. Their speed of construction was astonis.h.i.+ng compared to the other construction workers outside.

There were problems with the residents of the old district.

The location of the Guild was provided for Marco Polo by the residents in exchange for Marco Polo’s tutoring in natural sciences and the provision of books.

This couldn’t be done alone by Marco Polo, so the responsibility was distributed among the gamers.

The gamers felt they had become tuition teachers, but to the residents, they encountered a group of black market merchants with good “stuff”.

Not everyone liked learning. There were those who decided stubbornly not to learn.

While BurningChestHair was teaching a little Gnome whose eyes were filled with learning curiosity, TinyMeatball was handling some special reported cases at the Winterfell Garrison Guard station.

The cases weren’t reported by the gamers. After several days of exposing criminal activities, the Garrison Guards were no longer paying rewards for the exposition of crimes. The gamers weren’t able to profit from the Garrison Guards, so they turned their attention on defrauding the speeding drivers and loan sharks.

They were much more profitable than exposing criminals at the Garrison Guard station. Besides dealing a blow to the speeding drivers and loan sharks, they also received a good citizen prize and a sum of money from the Winterfell officials.

Even the new Dungeon Lord Andrew asked about the flood of immigrants to Winterfell.

The Winterfell residents were cheering the actions of the gamers, who dealt a blow to offenders. TinyMeatball was in a dilemma as his captured suspects vanished without any traces.

He couldn’t even find a suspect to interrogate.

It was of no issue. TinyMeatball received several crucial tips!

“He saw the construction site filled with Sacred Light at night. He also heard the chants of mathematical formulas. The scene was extremely terrifying!”

Cherry held a case report and informed TinyMeatball.

“The Adventurer’s Guild isn’t a proper business location. Instead, it’s a nest filled with filthy criminals. How dare they commit such treachery! That’s despicable!” TinyMeatball said viciously.

“Captain! We can’t allow such learning conditions to pervade Winterfell. My son is about to start schooling. He has to be first in smoking metal sticks, drinking chrysanthemum tea, tattooing, perming of hair, and getting a girlfriend. What if such learning conditions infect my son and he tells me he’s going to learn mathematics! Oh gosh, I tremble at such a frightening thought!”

Cherry spoke in a fearful voice. “If the evil atmosphere spreads, Winterfell will be finished. These Sacred Lord believers are more unscrupulous and cunning than the Ancient G.o.ds believers!”

“Yes, the situation is dire.” TinyMeatball sighed. He was deeply worried about the future of Winterfell.

“What shall we do? Captain, do we escalate the issue?” Cherry suggested.

“We aren’t in a hurry. These creatures came from Eternal Kingdom. If we escalate this issue, it may implicate Lord Sherlock. We have to find out if Lord Sherlock is the perpetrator.”

TinyMeatball squeezed his chin and pondered. Then he said, “We have to go to the site to investigate.”

At the old district of Winterfell.

TinyMeatball hid in a dark alley and surveyed the nearby construction site. The green-skinned creatures were working diligently. There was no sight of Sacred Light or the chanting of mathematical formulas.

Cherry was getting restless, and he said, “Captain, we’ll arrest and interrogate them!”

“No, let’s wait. They can’t possibly learn in public. These filthy activities are done in private.”

TinyMeatball pulled down his hat as he watched the diligent gamers with eagle eyes.

“Two of you…”

As Cherry and TinyMeatball were hiding and observing the scene, Sherlock greeted them politely from behind.

“Excuse me, what are you doing?”

TinyMeatball and Cherry turned their heads to see Sherlock. They were stunned, and Cherry blurted out, “Who are you?”

“Lord Sherlock!” TinyMeatball said nervously, “Lord Sherlock, thank you for saving us from the Ancient G.o.ds army. Without you, we would probably be dead.”

“Ah, it’s nothing much. I did that after receiving remuneration from the Merchant Alliance. What are both of you doing here?”

Sherlock was puzzled and asked, “Are you interested in my Adventurer’s Guild?”

“No, we’re from the Garrison Guards. We came here today…”

Cherry didn’t complete his sentence when TinyMeatball dry coughed and said, “We’re here to do our daily patrol. We discovered a new construction site, so we came here to check on the safety and collect some information.”

TinyMeatball dragged Cherry away as he said politely, “Lord Sherlock, we shall make a move.”

Sherlock watched the Orc and Gnome leave and pondered for a while. Then, he walked towards the construction site.
