1279 A Win-Win Situation

[Hint: Your zombie clone completed the construction of the Tier 2 mage tower. The player’s Empire reputation has increased. Tang Mingyue’s heir to the Empire reputation has increased slightly.]

[Hint: Lord Bohr has sworn allegiance to Tang Mingyue. Tang Mingyue’s heir to the Empire reputation has increased slightly.]

The game hint quickly refreshed his retina.

Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief. While there was no one around, he quickly gulped down a bottle of coffee.

Ever since they parted ways, he had been focusing on controlling zombie clones to build the mage tower.

The results were gratifying.

After his continuous improvements, the construction speed increased significantly. After arranging the instructions for zombie clones to carry out the construction, he could still take a nap for a while.

After receiving the news that the construction of the mage tower was completed, Lord Bohr rushed over with the Mage Association in his territory.

Looking at the two mage towers that stood tall in his territory, Lord Bohr was in a great mood. He looked excited as he exclaimed, “Thank you so much! Lord Fang Heng! From now on, you are my good brother!”

“You’re welcome.”

Fang Heng nodded.

As the teleportation passages were opened up, the movement and transfer of resources within the Empire’s territory would become smoother, and the construction of the ghost tower would also be faster.

Zhuo Lingfang had also trotted over with Lord Bohr’s team. She poked her head out from behind a guard and hurriedly said to Fang Heng, “Lord Fang Heng, the territory has encountered a thorny problem. Her Highness Mingyue needs your decision.”

Li Xue’s offline team was extremely anxious.

However, Fang Heng repeatedly stressed that he did not want to be disturbed while he was building the towers.

Thus, Zhuo Lingfang could only wait until the construction was completed before she rushed over to look for Fang Heng.

“What is it?”

“Previously, we announced that we were purchasing elemental crystals. A feudal lord of the Empire contacted us and told us that they had a large number of magic crystals stored in their territory and were willing to sell them to us.”

Fang Heng was delighted.

That would be great!

Buy it!

With the problem of raw materials solved, the plan to set up mage towers around the world could proceed smoothly.

The more mage towers he had, the more confident he would be in dealing with the final boss, the abyssal demon.

But why did Li Xue hesitate?

Was there a problem with this transaction?

Fang Heng frowned and asked, “It’s a good thing that they’re willing to trade, but is there a problem?”

“Hmm, so you’ve also sensed it, Lord Fang Heng. The other feudal lord doesn’t need to exchange money or ordinary materials. Instead, he needs some rare materials and military materials, and the quantity is very large.”

Fang Heng frowned as if he had smelled a conspiracy.

In the past, he had always been the one scheming against others. This time, he was busy building the mage tower and had no time. Now, his opponent had started to cause trouble.

“Sister Xue felt that it was a little strange, so she did some background research on Lord Gasani and found that he had some relationship with His Highness Tang Wu.”

When Lord Bohr heard this, he interrupted, “You’re talking about Gasani, right? Yes, I know him, and I’m quite familiar with him. Tang Wu trained in his territory when he was young, and the two of them do have a close relationship.”

Fang Heng hesitated for a moment. He clearly knew that there was a problem with this transaction.

However, the elemental crystals provided by the other party were too tempting!

“What about the elemental crystals they provided? Have you checked everything?”

“Yes, the sample provided has been checked. There’s no problem.”

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and fell silent for a moment.

So the people of the Empire wanted to sell fake goods to cheat them of military supplies?

Such a simple trick?

Was it necessary?

Lord Bohr saw that Lord Fang Heng was hesitating. He laughed loudly and patted Fang Heng’s shoulder.

“Brother Fang Heng, you might not know what’s going on outside, but you’re in high demand right now. The feudal lords outside are all in need of your Tier 2 mage tower, and many of them are trying to find a way to meet you. If Gasani dares to sell you a counterfeit, you don’t even need to do anything. The feudal lords outside can drown them.”

Fang Heng opened his mouth and thought, “Am I that awesome?”

“If you’re still worried, you can go to the Mage Association as a third party to conduct the transaction. They’ll inspect the goods first. The people of the Mage Association have always been arrogant. They don’t care about such scams.”

“Thanks for the reminder.”

Fang Heng nodded at Bohr kindly.

As long as the elemental crystals were real, the risk was acceptable.

Fang Heng thought about it and couldn’t find any loopholes. Worst come to worst, he would at most lose a large number of military supplies.

Anyway, he never thought of starting a war with Tang Wu. Even if he gave the military supplies to Tang Wu, the losses were completely within the acceptable range.

There was still a little time left for the trial, so he could just drag it out.

Fang Heng’s thoughts were simple. The current game trial was still in progress, so he would most likely have to fight the abyssal demon in the end.

By the time the abyssal demon appeared, the people would be so busy dealing with it that the Empire would not have the chance to fight among themselves.

If Tang Wu made the first move, then they would not be afraid. They would directly tear the underground seal and flip the table!

Therefore, armaments were not important to him.

The reason why he was still in the game was because of the Saint mission and the final trial mission.

The current trial score was SS.

If he wanted to farm the highest level SSS, he had to kill the final boss, the abyssal demon.

The difficulty level was obvious. Usually, the higher the difficulty, the better the reward.

Right now, they could not say that they had everything. At least, they still had many advantages.

For example, Tang Mingyue’s identity and Ed’s group of players who were still kept in the dark.

If he exited the trial and thought of a way to enter the game again, there might be some changes.

It would be best if they could safely complete the mission of killing the demon in the trial environment!

In this way, he would be able to get the double reward of killing and an SSS-level trial score!

Fang Heng nodded and said, “Tell Ed to let them do the trade. The materials used to create the magic core are very important to us. The sooner, the better. Also, we can consider letting the Mage Association conduct a third-party appraisal. You guys can decide on the specifics.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll do it immediately.”

Zhuo Lingfang immediately nodded and agreed. She forcefully logged off on the spot, and her face gradually stiffened.

Fang Heng looked at the game log again. There were less than seven days left in the trial. He had to hurry up.

Late at night the next day, the moonlight shone on the road leading to Lincoln City.

In the past two days, a large number of mage apprentices had gone to Lincoln City. The city was in short supply of various resources, and the Kanur Chamber of Commerce was transporting mage resources to the city overnight.

Archbishop Karkkila and the six members of the Holy Court were also on the team.

Karkkila poked his head out of the carriage to observe.

From afar, Lincoln’s City was shrouded in a mist of undead.

Undead!

Such a thick mist of the undead!

Sneaking into Lincoln City required some preparation work, so Karkkila took some time.

Yesterday afternoon, he decided to come to Lincoln City personally to investigate the situation after making a plan of action with His Majesty. Last night, he had re-strengthened the sealing magic array within the royal family. The next day, he had only obtained the sacred sword of breaking seal from the headquarters of the Holy Court at dawn. He had made all the preparations. It was not until noon that the team had secretly set off from the royal family. It was already late at night when they arrived.
