Chapter 1698 witnesses
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the five people also met next to the squirting spring in the middle of the square, and of course they immediately reported the situation they investigated.
"I found many stores here, including pharmacies, weapon stores, etc., but I went in and tried it. The owners of NPC are basically fools. Not only are they more standard to answer questions, but the most important thing is that I have tried all the stores and I can't buy things." said the Summoning Jade Emperor.
"Yes, I've tried this too." said Huotou next to him. "Usually, you can open the store bar by simply selecting the owner, but the stores here are not good. I tried giving the owner gold coins and so on, and the owner ignored me."
"What I can find is that the NPCs in the whole city are very stupid. I have not found a smart NPC so far. Whether it is the passers-by, soldiers, or shop owners around them, I can only rely on keywords to ask them questions. If I can't say the keywords, the other party will only repeat the same words, or just say hello to you as a response." Peanut said, "I also found a place similar to a teleportation point there, but I don't know how to use it. After studying for a long time, I don't know how to activate it. Then there are no NPCs around, and I don't know if it can be used."
"My discovery here is even more strange, because I feel like I have received a task." said Malinka, who is here. "I found a PC. The other party asked me to find another person, told me the name, and then said the reward, but I don't know why I haven't received this task now, there is no system prompt, and there is no in the taskbar. I talked to him again. It's still the information about that task, as if I didn't answer it before."
"No matter how you look at this city, these npcs are the same." said the Summoning Jade Emperor, "Do you think these npcs are not npcs? Because except for answering questions, these npcs cannot interact with us at all. The store page cannot be opened, aren't these npcs actually plots like wild monsters?"
"This...is possible." The fire head here nodded, "By the way, didn't the God King give us a spiritual vision buff? Is it just to let us find the mission targets we are looking for in these NPCs?"
Indeed, the previous buff of Spirit Vision reads, "Looking through the enemy's disguise can make it easy for you to find the enemy's position", which means that the enemy should be disguised, so the fire head guessed so much. However, Li Huailin did not agree much: "This is a buff and it is not a skill. It should have been activated, but we have watched it for a long time but couldn't see any disguise of these NPCs."
"This is..." Several people nodded. But the firehead here immediately said, "Are you looking for a special NPC? For example, isn't this an imperial city? This emperor may be the head of these monsters. Then we expose him, and then all the NPCs in the entire city will become monsters, and then we will kill out the plot like "?"
"The plot is well written..." Li Huailin said, "But why do I think it's not that simple?"
"I think what I said makes sense. Do we want to see this emperor? Based on the information so far, it is speculated that with the difficulty of the SS-level mission, I think it is very necessary." The summoned Jade Emperor nodded and said.
"Those who go to the palace first and then talk about it." Li Huailin thought about it and nodded. Although he did not agree with the plot of Huotou here, there was no other information now. The emperor might be able to provide any information, so he would rather go and check it out first.
The five people continued to walk towards the inner city and walked along the road in the square here. Soon they saw the entrance to the inner city gate. However, of course there was a team of guards watching the inner city gate here.
"Stop the traveler, there is an inner city inside. You will not be able to enter unless there is a pass order." The soldiers here still said to the few people with expressionless faces.
"Pass Order?" Li Huailin has always been in and out of the inner and outer cities at will, and he has never encountered any pass orders. But thinking about it, this is not the Nasser Empire, and people do not recognize you as a duke or the emperor of the mainland, so of course they will not let you into the palace.
"What should I do?" Summoning Jade Emperor asked in a low voice. Her subtext seemed to be asking if I wanted to kill directly.
Li Huailin was also thinking about it, but at this time Peanut suddenly pointed to a notice board next to him, and then said to the guards: "Hello, we are the team that is here to take on this mission."
Li Huailin was a little stunned. He turned around and saw that there was indeed a piece of paper on the notice board over there, and there was a large seal. It seemed that it was a task given by the emperor. Li Huailin secretly praised the peanuts here, and this guy reacted very quickly.
"Oh, so that's it." The guards here seemed to understand suddenly, nodded, and said to the people, "Since that's the case, go and meet your Majesty with me."
Without any extra words, the guards immediately started walking forward, and several soldiers followed behind him, as if they were escorting front and back. Anyway, they took Li Huailin and the others to the direction of the palace. In this situation, Li Huailin and the others had to keep up for the time being. After all, they should be able to see the emperor. As for what the situation is, I will talk about it.
Soon the five people arrived at the door of the palace. The NPC in front communicated with the guards at the door of the palace, and then led Li Huailin and the others to continue walking forward, and approached the gate of the palace. The palace here is still a Western-style palace. To be honest, the area is not very large. It is really different from the palace in the main city of humans, and the architectural style is also completely different.
Since we have seen something better, the few people didn't care much about this palace. After a few glances, they lost interest. They were careful to be wary of any possible dangers. Because if the previous guess was correct, the emperor would be the ss, and then this place would naturally be the monster's nest, so you must be careful.
"Wait, look over there." As he was leaving, Malinka, who suddenly stopped and pointed in a direction.
Of course, everyone immediately looked in the direction Malinka said, but everyone was shocked. What appeared in front of them was a very strange monster. This was a human-shaped monster, with black all over, and looked a bit like an alien shape without a long tail, with two sharp corners on his head. When Li Huailin saw this thing, the thing was actually holding a bundle of books and walking towards them.
When he saw Li Huailin and others, the black monster here was obviously stunned, and then suddenly shouted "Wow" and then put down the book and ran out to the rear.
"Damn, this is the monster we are looking for." The summoned Jade Emperor here said immediately, and after that, he was going to chase him in the direction of the other party's escape.
"Wait, don't go around, this is the palace." Unexpectedly, the summoning Jade Emperor had just wanted to leave the team, and the guards here immediately stepped forward and said, of course, there was still no fluctuation in tone, and they could not hear any anger.
"What should I do?" The summoned Jade Emperor immediately looked at Li Huailin.
"Chasing first!" Li Huailin said immediately. Although it was a bit strange, the monsters in front of him were the targets they were looking for, so of course they chased after them first. As for the guards, they could do it together.
The five people immediately chased in the direction of the monster's escape. As soon as they took a few steps, the guards' voice came from behind: "Come on, catch them!"
Li Huailin saw a large number of guards behind him pounced towards them, and the names on their heads instantly turned red.
"Damn, so much." Huoto couldn't help but shout.
"Let's chase the monster first." Li Huailin said immediately.
Regardless of the large number of guards coming up from behind, the five people continued to chase the monsters in front, but now the monsters have run out of their sight. After turning a few turns, they can no longer find anyone.
“See where it went?”
"It must have been entered here." Marinka here pointed to a building next to her and said. This place should be a side hall in the palace. The shape is a bit strange anyway, and the surrounding buildings look a bit inconsistent, and it feels like they were built later.
They believed in Malinka's eyesight and immediately entered the building. As a result, everyone was stunned when they entered the door because it looked like... it looked like a mage's research institute. Because the surrounding ground was filled with various books, there were also a lot of equipment on the table next to it, and various crystals, metals and other materials could be seen in the room.
Of course, the most attractive thing is that the walls in this room are filled with messy words, and the entire wall is painted everywhere. Li Huailin looked at it a little and found that these words had no purpose at all. Instead, because they were too messy, they didn't know what they were writing. Some words should be connected together, but Li Huailin didn't have time to read this at this time.
"Not here." Of course they came to look for the monster, but after looking around in the room, there was no one at all.
"I saw that he must have come here." Malinka said surely here.
"Well..." The summoned Jade Emperor looked at the room again, "This room is really a bit strange. What's going on with these garbled codes on the wall."
