The character "城" (city) on the white jade token completely caught the attention of the skeletal roc.

On the cliffside platform in the backyard of the City Lord of Jinling, Jiang Hao smiled and asked, "What does the city-building token look like?"

Knowing there was a chance, the city lord of Jinling immediately took out his city lord token and said, "Each city-building token is made of different materials and has a different shape, but the main city symbol on the token is the same."

The city lord of Jinling City produced a black jade token, with the character "city" engraved on the front. He flipped the token over, and Jiang Hao saw a relief of a castle on the back.

Jiang Hao nodded, and with a thought, another skeletal roc flapped its wings and hovered outside the cliff platform. Jiang Hao pointed with his right hand, and the giant skeletal roc was sent into the summoning space.

Within the summoning space, the skeletal roc sensed the locations of the other two summoned creatures and then flew towards them.

Inside the summoning space, the long beak of the skeletal roc guarding the little skeleton pierced the back of the white jade token. With a light push, the token flipped over, revealing a castle relief that was exactly the same as the token of the city lord of Jinling City.

The skeletal roc snatched the token with its long beak, then suddenly tilted its head back and swallowed it whole. It then placed its massive head next to the little skeleton's broken bones. Soon after, another skeletal roc flew in, and the two summoned skeletons lay on either side of the little skeleton, finally putting Jiang Hao at ease.

Seeing that Jiang Hao was busy, the group from Junlin Tianxia greeted him and then went off to level up by fighting monsters. At this moment, only Jiang Hao and the city lord of Jinling City remained on the platform at the edge of the cliff.

Jiang Hao, preoccupied with the early completion of the city's construction, said, "Is there only one entrance to the Black Dragon Palace? Is there a more advanced one? Otherwise, it's too slow to only get a few hundred thousand gold coins at a time."

The city lord of Jinling was immediately distraught.

Listen to what he's saying! Is this something a legitimate player would say? An average player is lucky if they can earn enough to cover the entrance fee for entering the Black Dragon Temple once, but he's complaining that tens of thousands of gold coins aren't enough?

However, the city lord of Jinling was clearly a man who had seen many big events, and this problem was no challenge for him at all.

"Yes, of course!"

The city lord of Jinling City stated decisively, "The entrance fee is two thousand, which takes you directly to the level of the Gold-level Gold-Eating Wanderers. Moreover, the mobile platform has been specially modified, not only making it faster but also confusing the Epic-level Gold-Eating Wanderers, preventing them from attacking the platform. In addition, the platform is equipped with the latest version of fishing rods and fishing cannons..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Jiang Hao quickly made a gesture to stop the city lord of Jinling City from launching into an advertisement-like introduction.

"No need for further explanation, let's go directly there."

After saying this, Jiang Hao pulled the city lord of Jinling City away. With tens of thousands of sows absent this time, Jiang Hao needed someone to control the platform.

The city lord of Jinling City was bored and wanted to see Jiang Hao's amazing skill in pulling monsters, so the two hit it off and left the city lord's mansion together, arriving at the Black Dragon Hall.

The person in charge of the Black Dragon Hall was still Old Wang. In the few days since I last saw him, his clothes had become even more luxurious, his white beard was clearly well-groomed, and he now carried a golden fish-head cane, which made him look even more noble.

Upon seeing Jiang Hao leading the city lord of Jinling City through the gate, Old Wang, who was busy negotiating business, immediately handed the players over to his subordinates and scurried over.

"This humble servant greets the city lord and the esteemed sir. The arrival of these two distinguished guests greatly honors our humble establishment."

"Distinguished guests, please come with me to the VIP room. We'll have tea and snacks there, and we can chat while we eat."

The shop had just hired a few new employees. When they saw Manager Wang, who was usually so arrogant, being so obsequious, they immediately knew that a big shot had arrived. So they didn't dare to look at him anymore, quickly turned their faces away, and focused on doing what they were supposed to do.

The city lord of Jinling nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand to stop Old Wang from leading the way, and said, "Don't bother, just take us directly to the Sun-class room."

The "Sun" room is the one the City Lord of Jinling City just introduced to Jiang Hao. It's also the highest-level room in the Black Dragon Palace. The reason it's named "Sun" is because the current Dragon King of the Dragon Clan is called "Sun Chaser." This shows how high its status is.

Old Wang's already respectful expression immediately became even more eager. He bowed and scraped as he led the way, repeatedly saying, "Please follow me, please follow me..."

After passing through the main hall of the Black Dragon Palace, Jiang Hao and his companion followed Old Wang into the back garden behind the shop. Walking along the path in the garden, they saw that both sides were full of green plants, whether in season or not, all of them were in bloom, and blooming exceptionally brightly, just like Old Wang's smiling face.

Although Jiang Hao didn't recognize any rare or exotic flowers, some of them were so beautiful that they were obviously very valuable.

After walking a few more steps, even the city lord of Jinling City couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

After passing through the short back garden, the three arrived at the only main hall in the garden. The hall was located on the central axis of the garden, with upturned eaves on both sides, without the slightest asymmetry. The blue bricks below and the dark tiles above were perfectly matched. On the antique black plaque, the three golden characters "Da Ri Dian" (Great Sun Hall) were written in a vigorous and elegant style, without a single stroke out of place.

"Wow, not bad, this name change is quite clever."

A heartfelt compliment from the City Lord of Jinling almost made Jiang Hao believe he was a fake City Lord of Jinling.

He wondered if he had also heard a certain Mr. Dong's songs?

The city lord of Jinling took a step forward, about to ascend the steps to push open the door, but was already blocked by Old Wang. The city lord had no choice but to retreat a step, displeased. He stared at Old Wang, demanding an explanation.

Cold sweat dripped down Old Wang's forehead. His cane felt like it was burning hot, so he threw it aside and bowed, saying hastily, "Lord City Lord, please forgive me, sir. It wasn't that I intentionally stopped you, but I have orders from above that we must answer a few questions before we can enter the 'Sun' room."

The city lord of Jinling City was even more displeased, and snorted coldly, saying, "Even if I bring people here, do you still need to ask?"

Old Wang trembled violently, almost kneeling before the City Lord of Jinling. However, he still managed to raise his head and say, "It's not that I don't trust you, City Lord and you, sir."

Old Wang pointed to the black door of the main hall behind him and said, "It's because this door is strange. I heard that there's some kind of lie detector inside. It can only open automatically after the guest has answered my questions. Otherwise, it's impossible to enter the main hall."

The city lord of Jinling City seemed to have heard of such a thing before, and turned to look at Jiang Hao beside him.

Jiang Hao didn't really care; let him ask. So he said, "Let's get started then."

Old Wang nodded, then dared to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and bowed respectfully, saying, "May I ask, sir, what do you think of Archmage Oron of the Gnoll Empire?"
