Chapter 562: The Secret of the Ancient City, Lin Ye’s Choice
At this time, Lin Ye, who was still in the secret realm, really had no idea what had happened in the tavern.

To be honest, he even forgot about Chi Yue...

If Chiyue had not insisted on provoking Cang Kewu at the beginning, he would definitely not have ended up like this.

All I can say is that his character determined his fate at this moment.

In fact, Chiyue is one of the few who are lucky enough to survive Lin Ye’s hands and not be killed.

But Chiyue relied on his strong ability to commit suicide, allowing Lin Ye to indirectly destroy his loyalty...

Although he is still alive now, for a lord who originally had a bright future, this is simply a life worse than death.

The fact that he ended up like this because of Lin Ye, and Lin Ye was completely unaware of it, was even more ironic.

Lin Ye was too lazy to pay attention to these things at this time.

Because, after the secret realm settlement was completed, everyone else received their rewards and were forced to leave the secret realm, but he had not yet received his reward.

This is not surprising. It is possible that the ending of the hidden mode of this secret realm is open.

Moreover, it was obvious that this outcome only concerned Lin Ye, and the other people who were there to make up the numbers were all forced to leave.

After Lin Ye killed the shadow, the haze in the entire city of Gulos was cleared.

From the ruins of the royal court, some golden spots of light flew out and condensed into a golden figure in front of Lin Ye.

This is a tall man.

"Brother, as I thought, you will eventually choose to come back and end it all..." said the golden shadow.

Lin Ye raised his eyebrows, he knew he was not his younger brother.

The 'Destroyer Commander Mark' on my body is my real brother...

Although Lin Ye had basically not paid much attention to the plot in the secret realm before, it was not difficult to see that what happened in the city of Gulos was nothing more than a drama of brothers fighting each other.

It was probably that the younger brother wanted to compete with his older brother for the control of the city-state, but he couldn't compete, so he had evil thoughts and borrowed the power of evil demons.

As a result, one thing was out of control and the entire city-state was destroyed.

As the 'Commander-in-Chief of the Destroyers', Lin Ye plays the role of the younger brother in this secret realm. Combined with the title 'Redeemer' obtained after completing the mission, it is not difficult to analyze that the content of the entire mission is actually that Lin Ye, as the younger brother, comes back to clean up the mess he left behind.

There is no reward at the end of the task, so Lin Ye is now asked to choose the content of the reward.

Sure enough, after a brief pause, the other party spoke again: "I am very pleased that you finally found your way back... It's just a pity that I still failed to protect the city of Gulos. As you can see, this city-state is now only in ruins."

There was a sense of loneliness in the tone of light and shadow.

After all, he had tried his best, even until the last moment, even if it meant being swallowed by the Shadow Demon.

"I no longer have the ability to shoulder the burden of Guros City, but I hope you can... or would you be willing to restore the glory of Guros City?" Guangying asked expectantly.

At this moment, Lin Ye finally saw the two options before him:

[Choose 'Yes', you will directly obtain the core of a super-large city-state, but the secret realm of 'Royal Court Ruins' will disappear permanently]

[Choose 'No' to keep the secret realm of 'Royal Court Ruins' alive and under your control! ]

Of course, in addition to these two options, there are also some fixed rewards.

[Fixed rewards: Shadow Demon's Eye (gold, necklace), Shadow Realm map fragment]

In addition, there are a lot of material and experience rewards, which have been given to Lin Ye in advance when the settlement is made. Ignoring the fixed rewards for the time being, Lin Ye looked at the two options...

To be honest, both options have their own advantages.

First, directly obtaining the core of a super-large city-state is enough to make many races crazy.

Moreover, building a super-large city-state also has substantial benefits for the lord.

In the core influence area, the city lord is basically invincible, and the influence range of a super-large city-state can easily reach hundreds of miles!
In addition, there are various other benefits.

For example, opening up quotas for entering the city, conducting business activities, etc.

It can be said that a super-large city-state is enough for a lord to gain a foothold in the war zone, and even his race can gain more room for activities in the war zone.

However, Lin Ye simply skipped this option.

There is no other reason...

The preciousness of this super-large city-state core lies in the fact that it is difficult for other races to obtain it through normal challenge methods.

But Lin Ye doesn't have this worry.

Lin Ye can upgrade any city-state core to the level of a super-large core through challenges.

So this option makes no sense to him at all.

Lin Ye basically blindly chose the second option and that was it...

According to Lin Ye’s previous experience in gaining control of the ‘Thunder Valley’, this choice is actually very good.

Because, this is equivalent to opening up a second territory for Lin Ye!

However, very few people knew this. After all, in history, lords who were capable of completing hidden missions and controlling secret realms were extremely rare. Even the top leaders of most races might not know this information.

If you choose not to continue building the city of Gulos at this time, then this city-state in a semi-ruin state will continue to exist in the abyss as the secret realm of the 'Ruins of the Royal Court'.

Lin Ye chose without hesitation to keep the status quo of Gulos City.

Guangying sighed and said, "Since this is your choice, I respect you... In fact, this is a relief for both you and me, isn't it? My brother..."

As he spoke, the light and shadow in front of Lin Ye's eyes dissipated with the wind. Although he felt regretful, he still rested in peace.

Or maybe out of emotional considerations, Lin Ye should agree to this "brother" to continue building and restoring the glory of the city of Gulos.

After all, this city-state fell to this state because of the greed of its "little brother" Lin Ye.

But this kind of forced "moral kidnapping" plot orientation is completely ineffective for Lin Ye.

In Lin Ye's opinion, this bloody plot is a test for the lord who has completed the task...

After all, if you are a little more emotional, you might choose the first option between two options that seem to have similar benefits.

But in Lin Ye's opinion, choosing not to accept is the best solution...

For a city-state in a level 60 war zone, the upper limit is there.

But the secret realm can be transformed into a domain and can always be used by you...

There is no need to think hard about which is better or worse.
