The archmage Oron of the Gnoll Empire once cast a god-killing curse on Jiang Hao, tormenting him to the point of near-death for quite some time. Fortunately, the city lord of Jinling City later helped him break the curse.
Jiang Hao's hatred for it was definitely number one. He hadn't expected Old Wang's first question to be this. Jiang Hao replied, "How do you see it? I'll see it with my own eyes, of course!"
Old Wang nodded, then asked, "May I ask, sir, what is your opinion of Gwen of the Gnoll Empire?"
The city lord of Jinling City's face had already darkened when he heard the first question, and now his face had become even more unsightly.
But Jiang Hao could no longer suppress his anger. He just wanted to earn some gold coins, so why was Old Wang asking such irrelevant questions?
Jiang Hao, somewhat annoyed, said, "Why are you all so slow? They're just monsters, what the hell am I supposed to see them? Do you expect me to look at them with other eyes?"
As soon as Jiang Hao finished speaking, the doors of the Black Dragon Palace behind him slammed open automatically.
Does this mean I've passed the test?
Indeed, this was the case. To prevent the gnolls from entering, the Black Dragon Palace not only had these questions in place, but its doors also had instruments to detect whether someone was lying. After Jiang Hao passed the test, the door opened automatically for him.
Jiang Hao saw that the city lord of Jinling City was just staring blankly with his head down. He was about to pull him into the main hall when a white light flashed beside him. He turned his head and saw tens of thousands of sows suddenly appearing, looking anxious.
Upon seeing the game administrator, Jiang Hao felt a pang of panic. This guy was definitely not here without a reason. However, judging from his demeanor, he clearly wasn't here to see him this time. Jiang Hao relaxed slightly and turned to look at the City Lord of Jinling City.
When the tens of thousands of sows saw that Jiang Hao was also there, they smiled and examined him for a moment, saying, "Hey, our savior is here too. Three-star Heart of Slaughter, four-star King Warrior title, tsk tsk tsk, you really got it, kid."
This guy's tone was somewhat impolite; it's clear this isn't the same as when he was asking for favors.
Jiang Hao just rolled his eyes at him.
The city lord of Jinling looked at the tens of thousands of sows, his eyes questioning. The sows didn't hesitate and said, "Two important matters. The first concerns the boundary black hole. The speed at which the black hole is expanding outwards is accelerating."
The city lord of Jinling's face turned extremely ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "How much longer?"
"About three days."
The city lord of Jinling City turned deathly pale. He asked urgently, "What was the result of the Spirit Ruins Alliance Conference? Was the human race awarded the prize?"
Tens of thousands of sows shook their heads.
The city lord of Jinling City paled even more, his face completely devoid of color.
"Could it be the dragon race? The dragon race is quite good too."
Tens of thousands of sows shook their heads again.
The city lord of Jinling suddenly laughed and said, "The deep-sea race, huh? Not too bad!"
Tens of thousands of sows simply looked at the city lord of Jinling City, and finally shook their heads slowly and mercilessly.
"Could it be a beastman?"
The tens of thousands of sows could no longer bear to shake their heads and simply said, "It's the jackal people. The Youyue Empire is currently speeding up the construction of the teleportation array. In three days, the jackal empire's army will be coming out of it in droves."
The city lord of Jinling City still refused to believe it. As if grasping at a straw, he grabbed the arms of tens of thousands of sows and said, "How could this be? How is this possible? This realm has six billion humans! There are even King Warriors with the title of three-star! Oh no, it's four-star, four-star! Did the Human Race Committee make a mistake? Tell them that this realm has four-star King Warriors!"
The tens of thousands of sows could no longer bear to look at the city lord of Jinling City and turned their heads to say, "You're not mistaken. After the killing battlefield ended, everyone in the entire Lingxu United Conference heard it. The Jackal Empire exchanged all ownership of the new realm for this one realm."
The city lord of Jinling City was momentarily stunned, then said urgently again, "No, that's definitely not right. This black hole expansion only resulted in five hundred realms. The jackals only want one hundred realms in exchange for a realm with the title of Four-Star King Warrior? The Human King will definitely not agree to that!"
The tens of thousands of sows dared not say that you were mistaken, but patiently explained: "It's not one hundred, it's three hundred! The orcs, the deep-sea race, and the jackal empire are all willing to relinquish their ownership. Prince Yi has no reason to refuse."
The city lord of Jinling City seemed to have been struck hard by an iron rod. His upright body swayed a few times, then, as if his spine had been ripped out, he collapsed to the ground, still muttering to himself, "Why, why? Why would Prince Yi abandon thousands of King's Warriors? The Skeleton Legion had clearly retreated! Why does the Jackal Empire only want this one territory? Why... why..."
Tens of thousands of sows pointed at Jiang Hao and said, "My guess is that it's because of him! He has an entire immortal heart inside him! The Gnoll Empire came for him."
The city lord of Jinling City stared blankly at Jiang Hao as if struck by lightning, then leaped up, grabbed Jiang Hao, and asked, "Boy, is what he said true?"
Seeing the Jinling City Lord's bloodshot eyes, like a ferocious beast about to devour its prey, Jiang Hao nodded unconsciously and said, "It's just a seed. Killing a monster will only increase all attributes by a little."
The city lord of Jinling finally learned the whole story, and his expression turned complicated as he looked at Jiang Hao. On one hand, he was happy that Jiang Hao possessed the Heart of Immortality, but on the other hand, he felt resentful because of the undeserved disaster that Jiang Hao had suffered because of it.
However, he wasn't one to dwell on things. Since the situation was beyond change, he could only try to find a way to deal with it. Regardless, someone possessing an immortal heart was bound to achieve great things in the future. The City Lord of Jinling made his decision in a flash: he would place all his bets on Jiang Hao.
Through their conversation, Jiang Hao gleaned some information, but he still didn't quite understand what "black hole expansion" meant. Glancing at the Jinling City Lord, who was deep in thought, Jiang Hao turned to the thousands of sows and asked, "What do you mean by 'black hole expansion in three days'?"
Tens of thousands of sows looked at Jiang Hao and said with a smile, "Where the black hole goes, reality will merge with the Spirit Ruins. If you have family and friends, hurry up and tell them to prepare. Because in three days, the monsters in the Spirit Ruins will enter your real world."
Tens of thousands of sows said with smiles, "If we start fighting monsters and leveling up sooner, we might be able to save our lives."
The tens of thousands of sows were mentioned so casually, as if it were a joke.
But a chill suddenly shot up Jiang Hao's spine to his head, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
