Jiang Hao had already figured out what was going on. He just hadn't expected that this leader would actually dare to rob gold ore in broad daylight.
He's just an NPC; there's nothing we can do about him.
The guard captain was so enraged by these words that he laughed. With a wave of his hand, two teams of guards in white armor rushed out of the shipyard. One team charged towards the scales, drawing their broadswords and surrounding Jiang Hao and his companions. The other team quickly set up a cordon in the square and cleared away all the soldiers working around the scales.
"Don't think I don't know. If I kill you all, all the gold ore will be extracted. Do you want me to stab each of you?"
Old Wang's face instantly turned ashen. While he wouldn't suffer any direct loss from Jiang Hao's stolen gold ore, this whole affair had tarnished the Black Dragon Palace's reputation in this realm. If Jiang Hao only had that one piece of gold ore on the ground, he could try to make up for it, but if it really exceeded 360 jin (approximately 180 catties), then he wouldn't be able to cover this hole.
If word got out that 360 jin of gold ore was stolen from him, it would smash the Black Dragon Palace's reputation to pieces.
As the person in charge of the Black Dragon Palace in this realm, even if the Black Dragon Empire doesn't hold him accountable, he can forget about having any future prospects.
Old Wang prayed silently that there weren't too many gold ore deposits among the tens of thousands of sows.
"Are you going to take it out yourself, or should I stab you?"
The guard leader crossed his arms and smiled as he watched Jiang Hao and the tens of thousands of sows. The faces of the tens of thousands of sows were deathly pale.
"This is utterly ridiculous!"
High up in the forging area, a dignified-looking, richly dressed middle-aged man looked at the scene in the shipyard square and said unhappily.
In the plaza, Jiang Hao drew his staff, his eyes fixed intently on the guard leader. Game rules dictate that NPCs with green health bars above their heads are allies, and players cannot attack them. However, if an NPC initiates an attack on a player, their health bar will turn red.
Jiang Hao had been waiting for this moment.
The guard leader's eyes narrowed, a fierce glint appearing in them. He raised his right arm, about to lower it, when Old Wang suddenly grabbed it.
"Sir, sir, please listen to me! If you lay a hand on a citizen of Jinling City, you'll be exiled from Jinling City! You'll be exiled! It's not worth it, it's not worth it!"
The guard leader flung Old Wang's hand away.
"Get lost! I won't touch him today. But this level 1 assassin is someone I can do whatever I want with, and nobody can stop me."
The guard leader pointed at the tens of thousands of sows, and the dozen or so guards immediately turned their broadswords. If the leader gave the order, the tens of thousands of sows would probably be torn apart in an instant.
"Article 13 of the laws of Jinling City states that any officer may take any action against vagrants who have trespassed into military-controlled areas."
After a pause, the head of the guards added with a fierce expression.
"And we will not pursue any responsibility!"
Old Wang's face turned deathly pale. Jiang Hao's eyes were bloodshot; he wanted nothing more than to tear the officer in front of him apart alive.
"Article 11 of the laws of Jinling City states that any citizen of Jinling City who dares to lay a hand on an officer in a military jurisdiction shall be sentenced to death!"
ridiculous!
Jiang Hao thought this game was really ridiculous.
Are they starting to try and trap game players with these vague and unrealistic things again?
"Don't touch me, don't touch me, I'll take it, I'll take it, okay?"
After saying this, the sow slowly took out a small golden stone from her backpack, then slowly walked to the scale and slowly placed the stone on it.
Jiang Hao wondered what this guy was doing when he suddenly heard a system notification.
"You have received a trade invitation. Would you like to accept?"
Upon opening the window, one finds a shipment of tens of thousands of sows. His trading panel is filled with gold stone icons of all sizes, each marked with 999.
Jiang Hao instantly understood that the tens of thousands of sows wanted to move the gold ore. So he quickly clicked "confirm".
"Unable to complete the transaction. Please place your items for trade."
Without a second thought, Jiang Hao placed the first piece of equipment from his backpack on the list. He then clicked "Confirm," and the transaction was complete. Just as Jiang Hao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw tens of thousands of sows stand up and slowly retreat a few steps.
"That's it? You're fucking messing with me again, aren't you?"
The guard leader was clearly enraged and was about to punish the tens of thousands of sows. Unexpectedly, the tens of thousands of sows took out a small golden stone from their backpacks again and slowly walked to the scales.
"You have received a trade invitation. Would you like to accept?"
Holy crap, there's more?
Jiang Hao clicked on the trade invitation with a puzzled look. It was still from tens of thousands of sows. And just like last time, his entire trade window was filled with large golden stone icons, and each icon had the number 999 on it.
Jiang Hao added another piece of his equipment, and the transaction was successfully completed.
Unexpectedly, this time, Jiang Hao suddenly noticed a barely perceptible smile on the lips of the tens of thousands of sows. This micro-expression was so fleeting that if he hadn't sensed the hidden excitement in the tens of thousands of sows, Jiang Hao would have thought he was seeing things.
After casually tossing the small golden stone in his hand onto the scale, the tens of thousands of sows immediately pulled out a golden stone the size of an egg from their backpacks.
The guard leader nodded in satisfaction.
Old Wang's face paled even more, and his eyes held a hint of doubt and confusion.
After casually tossing the stone onto the scale again, the tens of thousands of sows took out a golden stone the size of a duck egg from their backpacks.
The guard leader stared wide-eyed. Even the dozen or so guards surrounding the tens of thousands of sows widened their eyes and began swallowing hard.
That's why they say wealth is the most tempting thing to people.
Tens of thousands of sows gave a wicked smile. Jiang Hao could tell they were up to no good. So he quickly opened his chat window and sent a private message to the ten thousand sows.
"Damn, what mischief are you up to?"
He casually tossed a golden stone the size of a duck egg onto the scale, and tens of thousands of sows began to respond to Jiang Hao's message.
"Damn it, why didn't you say you had this sooner? Let's see how I make a fool of them."
Just as Jiang Hao finished reading the private message from the tens of thousands of sows, he saw them take out a golden stone from their backpacks.
Jiang Hao was somewhat puzzled.
What's "wc"? I don't know.
What does he want to do?
Jiang Hao was puzzled for a moment, wondering what exactly he had been given in the transaction that would give him so much confidence in the tens of thousands of sows.
A gasp suddenly came from beside him, followed by several heavy breathing sounds. Turning his head, Jiang Hao saw that the head guard's eyes were red, and his tanned face was now tinged with a dark purple from excitement. He unconsciously stretched out his right hand towards the golden stone. The guards beside him were also staring intently at the stone, their eyes unblinking.
Then look at the hands of the tens of thousands of sows, each struggling to hold up a golden stone the size of a basketball.
A mere basketball-sized rock had already caused these guards to lose their composure. Jiang Hao didn't know what the tens of thousands of sows were planning, but he could already foresee the danger that was about to unfold. If he were to take the golden stone out of his backpack again, he would probably be devoured alive by these guards!
"Diamond grade!"
