1148 External Help

The feudal lords looked at Fang Heng with eager eyes.

It was extremely difficult to build a mage tower in normal times. Now that they could find such a cheap and reliable one like Fang Heng, how could they let this opportunity go?

“Yes, yes, yes. Just give us a number. As long as it’s not too outrageous, we’ll definitely agree.”

Fang Heng looked at the excited feudal lords.

He thought about it carefully.

“I’m afraid that it will have to be built according to the market price,” said Fang Heng.

When Lord Brent heard this, he was stunned.

The market price?

So little?

The other feudal lords also had the same thought.

Previously, when he saw Fang Heng’s embarrassed look, he thought that he was going to ask for an exorbitant price. But it turned out that he was asking for so little.

Only the market price? They didn’t even have to pay any maintenance fees, so wasn’t this to their advantage?

Lord Barov immediately said, “Lord Fang Heng, let’s sign the contract! We will be able to send the funds to the Mage Association this afternoon for the construction of the Tier 2 mage tower. We only hope that we can arrange for the mage tower in our territory to be upgraded to a higher level.”

“We are also willing to sign the contract!”

Lord Barov looked at the guard behind him and reprimanded, “What are you still doing? Where’s the contract?”

The guard hurriedly handed over the drafted contract.

Barov quickly signed the document and handed it to Fang Heng.

“Lord Fang Heng, please take a look at the document. Is there anything else that needs to be modified?”

Fang Heng looked at the document in his hand and was a little confused for a moment.

Did he agree to it just like that?

Even if it was at the market price?

He even brought the documents with him?

Looking up at the eager eyes of the feudal lords, Fang Heng wondered if he would lose favorability points if he didn’t agree.

Forget it, he would just sign it. As for what would happen in the future, he would think about it later.

[Hint: You have signed a supplementary agreement for the construction of the mage tower with the feudal lords of the Empire.]

[Hint: Your friendship with the feudal lord of the Empire, Lord Barov, has greatly increased…]

[Hint: The player’s current mission: the Empire’s defensive line-ghost tower has changed.]

After being surrounded and signing more than ten agreements, Fang Heng was finally released by the feudal lords.

Ed’s party members looked at the passionate feudal lords with grim expressions.

Reyne, who was hiding in the crowd and secretly investigating the situation in the Land of Plague, was also frowning.

They all had the same feeling.

Fang Heng was playing a big game of chess.

First, it was the Tier 1 mage tower.

He used extremely low prices to attract the feudal lords to invest and spread his reputation. After that, it was time for the construction of the Tier 2 mage tower.

For him to be willing to pay such a high price to lure everyone into this trap, he must have a scheme!

Reyne couldn’t figure out what Fang Heng’s real purpose was, but he realized that this was no small matter.

He needed to report to the royal family immediately!

Randolf was excited. He cupped his fists at Fang Heng and said, “Lord Fang Heng, the operation of the Tier 2 mage tower requires the support of a large number of King spirit system mages. The Mage Association will start lessons on necromancy as soon as possible so that more mages can learn about it. I hope that Lord Fang Heng can support us in our daily training with the help of the mage towers in various places.”

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment. He didn’t know why Randolf suddenly became so serious and formal. He just nodded and said, “Um, okay, no problem. Of course, you can.”

“Thank you for your assistance.”

Randolf calmed himself down and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

The scarcity of mage towers limited the difficulty of mages’ entry and training. He could foresee that with the construction of a large number of ghost towers, a large number of mages on the continent would choose to cultivate the undead element.

Randolf was sure that Fang Heng’s name would appear in the textbooks of necromancy in a few years.

After visiting the mage tower, the feudal lords of the Empire were ready to leave in groups.

Fang Heng brought Sandy and walked to Lord Brent’s side.

“Lord Brent, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

“Lord Fang Heng, you don’t have to be so polite. We are all partners. If you need anything, just let me know. I still have some reputation in the Empire. I will help you think of a way.”

“I want to learn more about the royal family’s research institute in the Empire. My friend and I have always wanted to go and take a look.”

Lord Brent was a little surprised. He looked at Fang Heng and asked, “You also want to participate in the alchemy seminar held by the royal family?”

Alchemy seminar?

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

“I thought it was something big. No problem. I’ll go get two invitation cards for you. Oh right, Speaking of which, I haven’t been there in a long time. When are you guys planning to go?”

“As soon as possible, now would be good.”

“Now?”

Lord Brent’s eyes were filled with doubt.

Wouldn’t he be busy with the construction of the mage tower? He actually had the leisure to go to the Empire’s capital to participate in the seminar?

…

The capital of the Empire.

Knowing that Tang Mingyue was under house arrest by the Emperor, Wei Tao’s team of players immediately took action and collected useful information.

“To summarize the information we just received, the Emperor fell ill about half a year ago. His illness started to get worse two months ago and he hasn’t been in public for a while.”

“Salvador is in charge of all the Empire’s affairs.”

“Salvador is a very strict Emperor, both internally and externally.”

“It’s very strange that Tang Mingyue is under house arrest this time. No matter what the royal family disclosed to the outside world, the outside world doesn’t know that Tang Mingyue has been under house arrest. We only found out about this through the game prompts.”

Listening to the information he had gathered, Wei Tao frowned and thought to himself.

Tang Mingyue was the only one who knew what had really happened in the royal family. The problem was that Tang Mingyue was under house arrest, and no news had been leaked from the royal family, so no one could investigate.

Mikhael suggested, “Wei Tao, do you want us to sneak into the royal family to investigate? Let’s think of a way to find out where Tang Mingyue is kept so that we can be prepared to rescue her.”

Wei Tao muttered to himself and asked, “How confident are you?”

Mikhael thought for a moment and said, “I’m not very confident. It depends on luck. I’m still somewhat confident in escaping.”

“No, we know too little about the royal family. If we try our luck, we’ll easily get you involved.”

“Then what should we do? We don’t have much time left.”

“I have an idea. We can look for external help,” Wei Tao said.

“External help? Who is it?”

“Tang Mo.”

Mikhael immediately recalled and asked, “Are you referring to Tang Mingyue’s brother?”

“Yes, his attitude towards Tang Mingyue is unusual, and he knows the royal family better than us. We can start with him.”

After some careful thought, Mikhael felt that this plan was much more reliable than barging into the royal family. He immediately nodded and said, “Yes, you’re right. Tang Mo should be at the Empire’s front line now. We’ll immediately go find him.”

“By the way, find a way to leave a message for Fang Heng. He should be almost done with his work. We don’t want him to come back and find us missing.”

“That guy might have made a new discovery.”

As the two of them were talking, lines of game prompt refreshed on their retina.
