Soon, just over 10 seconds, as the black line disappeared, the maid who was kneeling on the ground also disappeared and was successfully contracted by Lin Zhuo.

At this point, Lin Zhuo licked his lips, feeling that this moment was an opportunity, if he didn't pit these NPCs well, I was afraid that there would be no chance in the future, so Lin Zhuo turned his eyes and looked at the guard who blocked his way, planning to contract this guard as well.

"If you have the ability, you can take him away." As if he had seen through Lin Zhuo's thoughts, the old man said with a hoarse laugh.

Hearing this, Lin Zhuo's expression was as usual, and he looked up at the guard who was blocking his way, only to see that this guard looked calm, and he also looked at him lightly.

After being silent for a second, Lin Zhuo immediately took out a bottle of blue medicine and drank it, without hesitation, he directly waved his staff, and a black line shot out, heading straight for the guards.

"Whether you have the ability or not, you won't know until you try it." Lin Zhuo's eyes flashed with essence, anyway, these guards didn't dare to touch him, if he didn't try, he would definitely have regrets in his heart, besides, he would only consume some blue amount at most.

But just as the black line shot out and was just connected with the guard's body, suddenly, the black line was disconnected.

"Ding~!"

The system prompts: "Contract failed." ”

......

The system prompt sounded, Lin Zhuo frowned slightly, he hadn't even said a word of contract, he had already failed.

Lin Zhuo didn't believe in evil, and the staff waved again, casting a contract technique, but when the black line appeared, just connected with the guard's body, suddenly, it broke again.

"Ding~!"

The system prompts: "Contract failed." ”

......

"The soldiers of the royal family, except for the emperor's order, even if they die, they will not be able to go with you." The old man smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Lin Zhuo fell silent and didn't try again, faintly feeling that it was impossible for these guards to contract easily, he looked up at the old man at this moment, and followed with steps.

"The emperor has been waiting for you in the palace for a long time." The old man took Lin Zhuo and walked along a path towards the palace, and said slowly.

"Yes." Lin Zhuo nodded and didn't say anything more.

The old man's words seem simple, but they contain another meaning in it, which not only explains the preciousness of the tears of the ice shadow, but also gives Lin Zhuo enough face, after all, letting an emperor sit and wait for Lin Zhuo in person is not a treatment that any player can enjoy.

In addition, up to now, although Lin Zhuo hadn't talked to the old man too much, he clearly felt that each of these NPCs had extremely high IQs and was not weaker than the player.

Even in Lin Zhuo's feeling, this game, from the moment it operates, is probably not in the control of the game company, and anything in it may be changed by players and NPCs.

For example, just now, the scene where Lin Zhuo blackmailed the old man was successful, which is enough to explain a lot of things.

Perhaps, from another point of view, this game is the second world of human beings, although virtual, but extremely real, so real that everything is so natural.

It's just that in this world, human beings never die, so it's called a 'game'.

Following the old man, it wasn't until he stepped into the palace that Lin Zhuo really felt how gorgeous this palace built on the top of the hill was.

The road is not only wide and clean, but any building is full of magic, and the golden glazed tiles shine with dazzling golden rays in the sunlight.

In particular, the four corners at the top of the building, raised high, like four golden dragons, chanting up to the sky, and holding a gold bead in their mouths, look extremely luxurious.

In addition to this, walking along the road, you can also see many maids, any of them, all of them beautiful, and some guards, patrolling back and forth.

These guards stood up casually, and they all gave Lin Zhuo an extremely powerful feeling, and the battle armor on their bodies was no longer red, but pitch black, looking mysterious and full of strong momentum.

But these guards, the moment they saw the old man, immediately put down their weapons and hurriedly bent down to greet them, their expressions were not jealous, but full of respect.

Especially those maids, the moment they saw the old man, they knelt directly on the ground, bowed their heads and did not dare to raise them for a long time, until the old man walked away, they dared to stand up.

"In reality, everyone is equal." Lin Zhuo looked at this scene and frowned slightly, the gap between NPCs was too big, those maids, although they were beautiful, seemed to be the lowest NPCs in the palace.

"Here, strength is respected." The old man spoke hoarsely.

Hearing this, Lin Zhuo didn't say anything, and quietly followed behind the old man.

After walking for a short time, until the surroundings were quiet, and when he saw a guard again, a huge palace appeared in front of Lin Zhuo.

This palace is huge, not comparable to other buildings, but the appearance is a little ordinary, not luxurious at all, it is made of ordinary glazed tiles, if it weren't for the old man to stop, Lin Zhuo would have thought that he was in the wrong place.

Lin Zhuo was a little surprised, he raised his head at this moment, and looked at the palace carefully, but looking at it, suddenly, his pupils contracted slightly.

This palace looks ordinary on the outside, but if you look closely, it gives people a feeling of ancient vicissitudes, as if you don't know how long it has existed, and even if you look at it for a long time, it will give people an illusion that this is not a palace, but a huge dragon.

Discovering this scene, Lin Zhuo was a little incredible, and his heart was shocked.

"Let's go inside." The old man glanced at Lin Zhuo and said.

Lin Zhuo groaned, walked towards the palace, as he got closer and closer to the palace, in Lin Zhuo's feeling, he seemed to be walking towards a giant dragon, which made him feel a trace of nervousness in his heart at the moment.

Until entering the palace, the building inside is not ordinary, and there are countless strange jewels inlaid on both sides, each jewel emits a different color of light, reflecting the entire hall incomparably brightly.

Even the floor is covered with carpets made of some kind of fierce beast, which makes people feel not only luxurious, but also full of solemnity at a glance.

At this moment, above the hall, on the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon, there was a middle-aged man, solemn, wearing a golden robe, bowing his head and frowning at the moment, as if there was something troublesome.

It wasn't until Lin Zhuo came in that he raised his head, and when he looked at Lin Zhuo, he revealed a hint of brightness.

In the entire hall, it was very quiet, and Lin Zhuo looked around, and there was only the emperor alone.

Looking at the emperor on the throne, Lin Zhuo's expression was calm, this emperor looked very ordinary, just a middle-aged man.

But it's such a simple, seemingly ordinary middle-aged man, he holds great power, he controls Qingcheng, he is the lord of a city, he is the emperor of Qingcheng!

He sat there, but there was an inexplicable momentum emanating from him, like a king, giving Lin Zhuo a feeling of looking down on the world.
