Chapter 1698: Sighting
Fifteen minutes passed, and the five of them met next to the fountain in the middle of the square, and of course they immediately reported what they had investigated.
"I found a lot of shops here, there are pharmacies, weapon shops and the like, but I went in and tried it, and those shopkeeper NPCs are basically fools, not only answering questions and comparing the system, but the most important thing is that I have tried all the stores, and I can't buy things." Summoned the Jade Emperor and said.
"yes, I've tried this too." The fire head next to him said, "Under normal circumstances, you can open the shop bar by directly selecting the shopkeeper, but the shops here are not good, and I tried to give the shopkeeper gold coins or something directly, and the shopkeeper ignored me." ”
"What I can find is that the NPCs in the whole city are stupid, I haven't found an intelligent NPC so far, whether it's the surrounding passers-by, or soldiers, or the shopkeeper of the store, etc., anyway, asking them questions can only rely on the form of keywords, if you can't say the keyword, the other party will only repeat the same thing, or just say hello to you as a response." Peanut said, "And I found a place similar to a teleportation point over there, but I don't know how to use it, I studied it for a long time and didn't know how to activate it, and then there are no NPCs around, so I don't know if I can use it." ”
"My discovery was even more strange because I felt like I had been tasked with it." Here, Marinka said, "I found an NPC, and the other party entrusted me to find another person, told me the name, and then also said the reward, but I don't know why I didn't receive this quest now, there was no system prompt, and there was no one in the taskbar, so I talked to him again." It's still the same message, as if I hadn't answered it before. ”
"It's not right to look at this city, and so are these NPCs." Summoning the Jade Emperor said, "Are these NPCs actually not NPCs, because these NPCs can't interact with us at all except for answering questions." The store page can't be opened.,Is it that these NPCs are actually some kind of wild monsters or something.。 ”
"This ...... It's possible. The fire head on this side nodded, "By the way, didn't the God King give us a spiritual vision buff before?" Isn't it just for us to find the mission objectives we are looking for in these NPCs or something? ”
Indeed, the previous BUFF of Spiritual Vision said "Seeing through the enemy's disguise allows you to easily find the enemy's location", which means that the enemy should be disguised, so the fire head guessed so. However, Li Huailin didn't agree: "This is a BUFF and not a skill, it should have been activated, but we haven't seen any camouflage of these NPCs after looking at it for a long time." ”
"That's ......," a few of them nodded. However, the fire head here immediately said, "Are you looking for some special NPC, and then for example, isn't this the imperial city?" This emperor could be the head of these monsters, and then we go and debunk him, and then all the NPCs in the whole city will become monsters, and then we will kill them or something? ”
"The plot is very well written...... Li Huailin said, "but why don't I think it's so simple." ”
"I think it makes a lot of sense, what emperor is this, are we going to see it? Based on the information so far, it is surmising. Coupled with the difficulty of the SS-class mission, I think it's necessary. The summoning Jade Emperor also nodded and said.
"Let's go to the palace first." Li Huailin thought about it and nodded. Although I don't agree with the plot that Huotou said here, there is no other information now, and this emperor may be able to provide some news, so let's go and see it first.
The five of them continued to walk in the direction of the inner city, walking along the road of the square on this side, and soon they saw the entrance to the inner city gate. But of course, there is a team of guards watching the inner gate here.
"Stand Traveler, inside is the inner city, you can't enter unless there is a pass." The soldier here still said to a few people with a blank face.
"Order?" Li Huailin has always been in and out of the inner and outer cities at will, and he really hasn't encountered any traffic orders. But think about it, this side is not the Nasser Empire, and people don't recognize you, the duke, or the emperor of the mainland, of course they won't let you into the palace.
"What should I do?" Summoning the Jade Emperor asked in a low voice, listening to her subtext, it seemed to be a feeling of asking if she 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 over this task." ”
Li Huailin was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see that there was indeed a piece of paper on the notice board over there, and it was also covered with a large seal, as if it was some task issued by the emperor. Li Huailin secretly gave a thumbs up to the peanuts here, this guy's reaction is indeed very fast.
"Oh, I see." The guards here seemed to suddenly understand, nodded, and said to a few people, "In that case, come with me to see Your Majesty." ”
There was nothing superfluous, the guards immediately began to walk to the front, and a few soldiers followed behind, as if they were escorting the front and rear, anyway, they took Li Huailin and they walked in the direction of the palace. Now in this situation, Li Huailin and the others have to keep up for the time being, after all, they should be able to see the emperor, as for what the situation is to see the emperor.
Soon the five people came to the gate of the palace, and the NPC in front of them communicated with the guards at the gate of the palace, and then took Li Huailin and they continued to walk forward, approaching the gate of the palace. The palace here is still a Western-style palace, and the area is not very large, which is too much worse than the palace of the main city of mankind, and the architectural style is completely different.
Since they have seen better ones, a few people don't care very much about this palace, and they lose interest after a little glance, but they are seriously on guard against any dangers that may arise. Because if the previous guess is correct, this emperor is the boss, and then this place is naturally the lair of monsters, so you have to be careful.
"Wait, look over there." As he was walking, Malinka suddenly stopped and pointed in one direction.
Of course, everyone immediately looked in the direction that Malinka had said, and everyone was shocked. What appeared in front of them was a very strange monster. It is a humanoid monster, all black, and looks a bit like a shaper with no tail, and two sharp horns on its head. When Li Huailin saw this thing, this thing was still holding a bundle of books and was walking in front of them.
And seeing Li Huailin and the others, the black monster here was also obviously stunned, and then suddenly screamed "Wow, wow, wow", and then directly put down the scroll and ran out towards the rear.
"Damn, that's what we're looking for." The summoned Jade Emperor here immediately said, and after speaking, he directly chased in the direction of the other party's escape.
"Wait, don't wander around, this is the palace." What I didn't expect was that the summoned Jade Emperor 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 I couldn't hear anger at all.
"What should I do?" Summoning the Jade Emperor, he immediately looked at Li Huailin's side.
"Let's chase it first!" Li Huailin immediately said, although it was a little strange, but after all, the monster in front of them was the target they were looking for, of course, they caught up first, as for the guards or something, it was a big deal to do it together.
The five people immediately chased in the direction of the monster's escape, and as soon as they took a few steps, the voice of the guards came from behind: "Come on, catch them!" ”
Li Huailin saw a large number of guards behind him rushing towards them, and the names on their heads instantly turned red.
"Damn, so much." Huotou couldn't help but shout.
"Let's chase the monster first." Li Huailin said immediately.
Ignoring the large number of guards rushing up from behind, the five of them continued to chase the monster in front, but now that the monster had run out of their field of vision, they couldn't find anyone after a few turns.
"See where it's going?"
"I guess I'm in here." Here, Marinka pointed to a building next to it and said, this should be a side hall in the palace that I don't know who, anyway, the shape is a little strange, and the surrounding buildings look a little mismatched, it feels like it was built later.
They still believed in Malinka's eyesight, and immediately entered the building, but everyone was stunned when they first entered the door, because it looked ...... It seems to be a mage's research institute, because the floor around it is full of all kinds of books, and there are a lot of unknown equipment on the table next to it, and in the room, you can see all kinds of crystals, metals, and other materials.
Of course, the most attractive thing is that the walls in this room are full of messy words, and the whole wall is painted everywhere, Li Huailin looked at it a little and found that these words have no purpose at all, but because they are too messy, they don't know what is written at all, and some words should be able to be connected together, but Li Huailin doesn't have time to look at this at this time.
"Not here." Of course, they came to find the stranger, but after looking around the room, there was no one at all.
"I see he's supposed to be here." Malinka here said with certainty.
"Hmm......" summoned the Jade Emperor to look at the room again, "This room is really a little strange, what the hell is going on with these garbled characters on the wall." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Li Huailin was suddenly stunned, and then grabbed the hand that summoned the Jade Emperor and asked, "Wait, what are you talking about?" Garbled? (To be continued.) )
