Wu Jie's hearing is so good. Although the NPC guards thought their voices were low enough, he still heard them clearly. Of course, apart from shaking his head and ignoring them with a smile, Wu Jie couldn't go back and scold the NPCs again. Wouldn't that be wrong? Losing his identity as Governor of Western Xinjiang...
...
"Ah ha. Master Tianya Farewell has arrived. I am a little too far away to welcome you. Please forgive me." Wu Jiegang walked into the hall of the clan elders. The clan elders were extremely polite.
"Where. As a subordinate, Tianya should come to visit the prince. Doesn't the prince act like this to disgrace Tianya?" Wu Jie is also a human spirit. He saw that the clan elders were uncharacteristically polite to him, and there was a hint of self-degradation in his tone. It means "flatter". I am extra vigilant.
After inviting Wu Jie to sit on the chair opposite him, the clan elder asked politely: "As one of the four governors of the empire, I know that Tianya must have many things to do. I wonder what kind of good wind is blowing you here right now."
Wu Jie couldn't figure out the clan elder's intention for a while. So he said frankly: "I will go to the Three Treasures Hall today for no reason. Since I was appointed as the governor of the Empire's Sun Destruction Fortress a few months ago, I have been doing my duty, being self-denial, and doing my best to protect our country." The sacred territory of the Chu Empire is not subject to the barbaric invasion of the Western Qin. Not long ago, I applied to the prince as a player to establish a clan. I was even more cautious. I was walking on thin ice. I did not dare to be careless at all. I was afraid of living up to the trust of the court and His Majesty. Now I am lucky enough to get a clan residence token. I would like to ask the prince to give me a piece of thin land as a place for the development of the clan."
"Tianya is serious. In fact, the development of players is the mainstream of the future of this world. Besides, you and I are both ministers of the same palace. There is no need to be so polite." The clan elder paused and then said: "Since Tianya has obtained the clan's residence Token. Then please give it to me so that I can help you arrange the clan’s settlement immediately.”
Wu Jie took out the glittering clan residence token from the high-level marching package and handed it to the clan elder. The clan elder held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then said: "Please follow me into the secret room. The king will arrange a clan residence for you immediately."
With that said, Wu Jie walked in first. Wu Jie did not hesitate and followed directly. He saw the clan elders coming to the room behind the hall and bowing three times to an unknown statue. Then he saw the statue moving slowly. Opening up, in the blink of an eye, a dark door appeared where the statue had been.
As soon as he entered the door, the statue was automatically restored to its original position. At this time, Wu Jie felt that there was darkness everywhere without a trace of light. He couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. Although "Chaos World" claims to have an unprecedented 100% degree of simulation, after all, it is still It's just a game. In reality, if Wu Jie has reached the innate martial arts realm, he can see everything clearly in the dark. But in the game, he is far from reaching that amazing strength. Or maybe he will never have that. strength.
"Tianya. Please hold my hand. Otherwise you are likely to lose your way in this dark place." Probably considering Wu Jie's vision problems in the dark, the clan elder in the darkness reached out to hold Wu Jie. .while explaining something.
"..."
Wu Jie didn't speak. He just followed closely behind the clan elders.
At this moment, doubts arose in his mind. He did not believe that the clan elders would lead him to this secret place just to help him arrange a clan residence.
Naturally, the secret room will not be easily known to outsiders. But now Wu Jie not only knows it, but is also being led there by the clan elders. If there is nothing fishy in it, he would not believe it even to death.
But since the clan elder as the master didn't mention it, Wu Jie would never ask. He knew that whether it was a game or reality, if it was not necessary, if someone didn't say it, it just meant that the other party didn't want you to know. Just like someone else The taboos are the same. Forcibly asking questions will not only fail to get the desired results, but will also offend others.
...
I don’t know how long it took. Wu Jie, who was thinking about it, found that the road ahead had gradually become brighter. With the faint light, Wu Jie slowly saw some things around him clearly. After seeing these things, Wu Jie’s doubts became more and more obvious. very.
"Do you feel weird?" It turned out that Wu Jie's heart was filled with excitement after seeing the things around him, so he naturally stopped. Of course, he just wanted to look at those things more carefully and left. The clan elder in front saw that Wu Jie did not follow him, so he turned around. After discovering Wu Jie's gaffe, he asked softly as if he had expected it.
"It's not just strange. It's deeply puzzling and shocking." Wu Jie said truthfully as he looked at the murals depicting Qin Shihuang's great achievements on the walls around him.
Using the light, Wu Jie quickly took a look at the murals around him. He walked up to the clan elders in a few steps. He looked at the seemingly kind-hearted old man with burning eyes. However, he saw that the old man who was known as the imperial family was already close. His hazy eyes suddenly shone brightly. Then he asked in reply: "As one of the four governors of the empire, are you wondering why there are murals praising Qin Shihuang on the walls of the corridor of my secret chamber?"
Wu Jie nodded and said slowly: "Not only am I very strange, but I also can't figure it out. As far as I know, the prince should be a royal nobleman of the empire. He has won the trust and reliance of his majesty throughout his life. He holds great power when he is in court. Needless to say, even now, Lin is still entrusted with the position of elder to manage the affairs of the player's clan. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is unparalleled in favor. But now the prince is braving the disdain of the world... and even publicizing the feud with Qin Shihuang in his own residence. His achievements. This is unavoidable..."
"There is nothing surprising about this. Just like your Excellency. Apparently, you were awarded the rank of Marshal of the Chu Empire at a young age. Moreover, you are a well-deserved governor of the entire Western Xinjiang region. Logically speaking, your favor is not there. Under my king, but do you dare to say that you have no doubts about the entire Great Chu Empire? As far as I know, your Excellency's Sun-Destroying Fruit Seal has been controlled by you into a monolith. On the surface, you are extremely respectful to the imperial court. In fact, you are extremely respectful to the imperial court. But he is always plotting against the Chu Empire." The clan elder's words hit Wu Jie's weakness.
"I dare to ask my dear prince, do you have any evidence for what you said?" Wu Jie admitted that he had been keeping a low profile since he entered the game "Chaos World". He did not believe that his secret construction of the Sun-Destroying Fortress would be revealed to NPC right now. The imperial court has found out. Otherwise, the Chu Empire would probably have launched tens of thousands of troops to attack the Sun-Destroying Fortress. In that case, I believe that it would be very busy. Then there would be more thoughts on applying for a clan residence.
"Evidence..." The clan elder couldn't help but laugh as if he had heard a good joke. It took him a long time to hear him say leisurely: "Do you think this king is a three-year-old child? You can't live forever for this kind of thing. If you can leave evidence easily, then I'm afraid you will never be able to take the position of Governor of Western Xinjiang."
Wu Jie's mind was spinning. Several times, he almost couldn't help but want to kill this NPC clan elder. For him or the Sun Destroying Fortress, unstable factors must not be allowed to exist. Otherwise, he will fall into trouble if he is not careful. Eternal disaster.
"Please tell me your purpose, Your Majesty. I don't believe that Your Majesty would be so deliberate in arranging a clan base for me." Wu Jie thought for a long time and finally chose to compromise. He had no choice but to worry. Of course, he was more confident about the clan. The Presbyterian Church accepted his compromise.
"It's easy to talk to smart people. I've figured it out in such a short time." The clan elders seemed to be afraid of falling out with Wu Jie. Seeing the hint of compromise in his tone, they laughed and laughed.
...
While talking, the two people finally arrived at the secret room. This is a very spacious underground hall. The surrounding walls are inlaid with countless dragon-eye-sized luminous pearls. The entire underground hall is illuminated like daylight. It seems that they were in the secret corridor just now. Those faint lights came from here.
To be honest, if the clan elders hadn't been by his side, Wu Jie would have really wanted to take a closer look at whether these luminous pearls were real. There is no doubt that this was a big deal. Just these luminous pearls on the wall of the underground hall can prove that the clan elders are far away. It is not as simple as the identity of the king of God on the surface. After all, no matter how rich the prince is, it is impossible for him to have such a huge wealth. Except for the king of a country who is the richest in the world, no one in the world can use such a huge wealth to decorate an underground hall......
"Hehe. Your Majesty is really rich and powerful. What a great gesture." Wu Jie, who had seen and owned the treasure of the First Emperor's restoration of the country, couldn't help but praise him.
"Wealth is like a cloud to me. I just want to fulfill a dream that my ancestors have not accomplished for thousands of years." The voice of the clan elder was filled with infinite despair.
"The prince wants to..." Wu Jie was shocked again. He was frightened by his own thoughts for a moment, so he did not say the next words directly.
The clan elder smiled at Wu Jie. It seemed as if he was appreciating his keen observation and rich association. He also seemed to be mocking the unreal loyalty in his heart...
"Do you want to know why I, the king, seem to have received unparalleled favors in my life, yet I am still dissatisfied?" The clan elder looked at Wu Jie and asked in a slow tone.
"Of course. I think even if I don't ask, the prince will still plan to tell you today, right." Wu Jie said calmly.
"Thousands of years ago, my ancestors finally unified the entire China through years of fighting. When I saw that the people in the world were about to live a stable life, but not long ago, the twelve ancestral witches came. As a result, the ancestors passed away. The powerful And the unified empire fell apart overnight. Thousands of years have passed, and that scene still makes people sad."
"Boom." Wu Jie was struck by lightning. He thought about it countless times in his mind. However, he never imagined that the identity of the clan elder was actually a descendant of the First Emperor...
