After following the patrolling guards around the streets twice, Li Ming suddenly discovered that the direction of the guards' march had changed this time.
They suddenly turned to another street and walked forward along the long straight street...
At the end of this street, you can see a large city gate suddenly appearing in the distance. This is actually a city gate entering the Imperial City Mountain!
You must know that the Imperial City of Destiny is a concave-shaped urban layout. The Imperial City Mountain in the middle is in the middle of this concave shape. It is protected by three city walls. It is backed by the tall Destiny Mountain. The mountains on the other side are said to be steep cliffs.
No one can climb up.
The Imperial City of Destiny, which is built on the mountain, has only three gates to enter the Imperial City Mountain. The long street that Li Ming is following happens to be the central gate avenue of the Imperial City Mountain!
What are they going there for?
Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan were both very curious and were at least 50 meters apart. Anyway, as long as they stayed within sight, they would not deliberately get close.
Hiding at the corner of the street, they watched the guard slowly walk towards the city gate. The two of them also walked out and followed them all the way to the city gate.
Until this group of soldiers arrived at the city gate, the royal guards guarding the city gate seemed to have greeted them. After checking the token, there was a loud bang, the city gate slowly opened, and the group of soldiers disappeared inside the city gate.
As the gate of the imperial city slowly closed, Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan both stared blankly...
"They actually entered the Imperial City Mountain! What should we do now?" Lonely Ruyanjiao shouted.
"Finally we know their whereabouts. Since they came out of Imperial City Mountain, there must be clues..." Li Ming frowned and thought.
"But he is from Huangcheng Mountain, and we can't get in. How should we continue to investigate?" Lonely Ruyan has no other options.
"Let's go over and see if they just talked to the officers guarding the city. They have to take out a token to enter the city. Maybe we can find something from the token information.
"What you said is easy. He is an NPC, how can he provide us with information?" Lonely Ruyan asked speechlessly.
"NPC... we have to give it a try." Li Ming smiled faintly and strode forward.
He believes that since the system is set up in this way, there are definitely ways to obtain clues, but the difficulty is different. Players will be able to solve the mission clues as long as they are sure of their brains or meet the NPC's mission requirements.
The two came to the gate of the heavily guarded imperial city. On both sides of the tall city wall, there were at least a hundred soldiers stationed on each side. There were also densely packed crossbowmen standing on the city tower. Anyone who dared to cause trouble at the city gate would be shot through by thousands of arrows.
A tragic end!
Two mighty NPC officers, wearing heavy armor, led a neat team of hundreds of NPC soldiers, lined up in front of the gate.
"Whoever dares to approach the gate of the Imperial City, please show your pass token and related tokens!"
As the two men arrived ten meters in front of the group of city guards, two mighty captain officers had already stretched out their big hands and let out a loud roar.
Lonely Ruyan was so frightened that she hid behind Li Ming and timidly looked at the situation ahead.
Li Ming smiled and stood still. He didn't have any tokens, and it would be dangerous to move forward.
"Sir Captain, I am not here to enter the imperial city, but just to inquire about something." Li Ming said respectfully.
"Be brave, this is a restricted area at the city gate. If you don't enter, please leave immediately!" the captain of the city gate roared angrily.
Well……
Li Ming originally planned to ask politely to see how the other party would react, but the two officers were very determined and did not seem to want to answer any questions.
What to do now?
"We'd better leave. Don't anger them. It would be terrible if we were locked up in the system and imprisoned." Lonely Ruyan said softly in fear.
The reason why the beauty is so scared is precisely because in the spirit world, these NPC soldiers have great power. They have the final say wherever they guard. If the players do not abide by the rules, they can immediately kill them...
…
Moreover, the NPCs guarding the imperial city are very strong in level and strength. For example, the two captain officers in front of them have reached level 80 spirit beast BOSS strength. Killing them in one instant is like squeezing an ant to death!
Even the soldiers behind the captain could kill both of them instantly...
"Don't worry, I'll try again. If it doesn't work, just leave." Li Ming frowned. It seemed that pleading would not work. How could he get the captain to tell him about the situation of the soldiers in the group just now?
If in reality, if you want to ask a question and the other party doesn't feel good about it, buying a pack of cigarettes or giving some money is fine. But how to please the NPC in the game? Does the other party give you a task to complete...
Bribing NPCs?
Li Ming thought about it, but the NPC didn't want gold coins...
By the way, Dragon God Treasure!
Thinking of how to please the NPC, Li Ming suddenly thought of the worthless Dragon God treasures found in the Dragon's Cave, so many strange gold coins and crystals, and various gold handicrafts, which seemed to the players,
It's just a beautiful decoration, but it can only be sold for the price of one copper coin in a store.
But the system descriptions on those treasures seem a bit interesting...
He quickly exhaled the package, which contained a few golden wine glasses, gold knives and swords.
This was originally a spare prop that he was holding out to see if it had any other uses. Now it seems that it can play a certain role.
Ancient Golden Sword: A system prop, a treasure of great ornamental value, only useful to NPCs.
…
Li Ming immediately took out the golden sword, and his hands suddenly sparkled with golden light. The shape was indeed very dazzling.
Bang!
In an instant, the two captains' expressions changed. They immediately drew their swords from their hands and looked at Li Ming warily.
"You dare to use weapons in the restricted area of the city gate, you can't do it!" a school captain roared.
Boom boom!
Footsteps suddenly sounded, and hundreds of soldiers stepped forward, holding their halberds forward, ready to attack at any time!
"You two adults have misunderstood. This is a gift for you, not a weapon." Li Ming quickly smiled and held the sword forward with both hands.
"A gift?" The two captains looked at each other and took two steps forward curiously. Their eyes were immediately attracted by the shining golden sword and could no longer look away...
"Are you going to give us such a precious golden sword?" a captain asked with surprise, his eyes shining.
"It's actually an antique golden sword, or an ancient treasure. This, this is too precious..." Another captain stared at the golden sword greedily, and even made a sound of swallowing saliva.
Originally, Lonely Ruyan was so frightened by this formation that she did not dare to look forward, but now that the situation appeared, even her eyes widened in surprise and she tried her best to hold back her smile.
"You two adults, there is no need to be embarrassed. I have a golden sword to give you. I just want to ask a question." Li Ming chuckled and handed the golden sword directly to the hands of a captain, and then took out another golden sword.
Pass it to another captain.
"It's easy to talk. If you have anything to do, please feel free to ask." The two captains held the treasures in their hands and asked with a smile that they couldn't put it down.
