Chapter 1284 - 1284 Interception
1284 Interception
Fang Heng had personally witnessed the archbishop of the Holy Court using part of his strength. Moreover, since the other party had the guts to personally investigate, he must have the confidence to leave.
The mid-tier game world’s Holy Court’s big boss was much stronger than the world of the vampires.
Even if he could trap the other party, he might not be able to defeat him with the ultimate move of the Everlasting Moon.
Fang Heng calculated for a long time, but he still felt that he could not win.!!
“Okay, I got it. I’ll go over and take a look.”
Fang Heng nodded.
Since the other party had already come knocking on their door, he had to go over and take a look even if he couldn’t beat them. He wanted to leave an unforgettable impression on the Holy Court.
“I’ll go with you.”
“No need.” Fang Heng shook his head and said, “You should stay. A batch of enlightenment stone materials will be sent over soon. You still need to refine it. Also, you might not be able to kill the archbishop this time. If you fail, your reputation will be affected.”
Huh??
Tang Mingyue blinked her eyes in confusion.
Wait a minute, kill the archbishop of the Holy Court?
Who said anything about killing the archbishop?
She just wanted to stand on the moral high ground and criticize the other party. At the same time, she wanted to increase her reputation and cause some trouble for the Holy Court.
It would be best if she could extort a sum of money from the Holy Court…
“I’m going.”
Tang Mingyue raised her head again and saw that Fang Heng had already waved his hand and walked out of the hall.
“Wait a moment.”
Tang Mingyue quickly caught up and traded more than 20 spell scrolls, “I cheated these from those feudal lords. Be careful.”
“Yes.”
…
In Lincoln City, the group of people from the Holy Court was surrounded by the necromancers.
Archbishop Karkkila looked at the increasing number of people and thought to himself that things were not good.
He had been discovered!
Before he came here, he had considered being discovered, but he did not expect that there would be so many necromancers from the Mage Association in Lincoln City.
Among the crowd, Li Xue’s party members came to support them one after another.
The players knew that they couldn’t win a fight, so they started to provoke the mages, damage the reputation of the Holy Court, and encourage the NPCs to take action.
“It’s them! Sneaking into the sealed land! Don’t let them escape!”
“That’s right. Why is it always someone from the Holy Court?!”
Karkkila took half a step forward, looked around at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, the Holy Court has no intention of becoming enemies with the Mage Association, nor does it intend to start a war. Currently, the seal of the abyss is broken, and the plague aura is leaking. We’re here to investigate the reason for the leakage of the abyssal aura.”
“Hmph, investigate? You said that you wanted to investigate. Where is the evidence? What did you find out? Tell me!”
“You make it sound so easy! Investigate? Who knows what you guys went in for?”
The players started to create a ruckus, “Since it’s an investigation, then let’s do it openly. Is there a need to be so sneaky?!”
Some of the mage apprentices who didn’t know the truth were also led astray, and they all looked at the Holy Court’s group with suspicion.
When they found out that something had happened in the sealed land, the nearby feudal lords kept coming over through the teleportation passage to join in the fun.
Among them were Lord Brent and the accompanying sword saint of the Empire, Chepo.
“Tsk, the Holy Court again. They want the world to be in chaos.”
Lord Brent curled his lips and ridiculed in disdain.
He was in a bad mood today.
Two days ago, there were several places in his territory where the plague aura leaked, and the people from the Holy Court preached to him about the dangers of the plague aura, fooling him that Fang Heng from the Land of Plague was the culprit behind the leakage and that only the Holy Light could save the continent.
As there were a large number of believers of the Holy Court in Lord Brent’s territory, and the believers had formed a group to cause trouble, he was tricked to ask the Holy Court for help in a hurry.
To solve the issue of the plague aura, Lord Brent even provided a lot of convenience to the Holy Court.
In the end, when the problem of the plague aura was almost solved, he came back to his senses, and only then did he realize that Fang Heng’s ghost tower could also eliminate the plague aura.
After asking around, he heard that seven mage towers had been built in Lincoln City to resist the plague. Lord Brent’s eyes immediately turned red.
These people from the Holy Court were all dogs!
If he had known earlier, would he have begged them?
Wouldn’t it be better to have these seven mage towers?
Therefore, Lord Brent immediately brought his guards to Lincoln City overnight to look for Fang Heng. However, he was too late. When he arrived, he could not even see Fang Heng, so he could only queue up.
Seeing the people from the Holy Court again, Lord Brent’s expression turned even uglier.
In the crowd, Ed was unusually excited.
After he received the news that the mine was ambushed, he immediately brought his men to surround it.
Li Xue had guessed that there was a small chance that the Empire would attack the seal again. He did not expect that she had guessed correctly!
Furthermore, the archbishop of the Holy Court had personally come!
But what should he do now?
Ed knew that they definitely wouldn’t be able to defeat the Holy Court.
The Mage Association had agreed to cooperate with Tang Mingyue, but it was obvious that they would not easily fight the people of the Holy Court to death.
The commotion was already so big, and the people who came from the Mage Association were all small fries. Not even the vice president of the Mage Association showed up. It was obvious that this was intentional.
The other feudal lords were also watching from the side.
Lord Brent was a little hesitant about whether he should speak up for Lord Fang Heng and strive to build a mage tower in his territory as soon as possible, so he asked softly, “Chepo, can you stop them?”
Sword saint Chepo stared at the archbishop of the Holy Court and shook his head, “If he wants to leave, we can’t stop him.”
Lord Brent frowned and continued to stand at the side to watch.
He wanted to help Fang Heng and gain some favorability from Fang Heng so that his territory could have a mage tower built ahead of time.
But he had his concerns.
The believers of the Holy Court in the territory were very troublesome.
Moreover, according to Archbishop Karkkila, they were only investigating the leakage of the plague aura. The guards at the entrance of the mine had only been knocked out and were not even injured. It was not enough to forcefully go up and detain the Holy Court.
“Everyone, we’ve found out that the seal in the mine has been broken. We suspect that someone did it on purpose. Now that things have come to this, the Holy Court hopes that everyone can recognize the truth. Soon, the plague aura will leak out again, and Fang Heng’s true identity will be revealed.”
Karkkila shook his head and knocked the scepter on the ground again.
“Buzz…”
The Holy Light barrier opened up again, dispersing the surrounding ghost fog.
“Now, I’m leaving.”
Karkkila said as he led the group of people from the Holy Court toward the city gate.
The players blocking the path ahead suddenly realized that the barrier formed by the Holy Light had forcefully pushed them aside. They were unable to continue blocking the Holy Court’s retreat.
Ed was anxious.
They had caught Tang Wu’s mistake, but the Holy Court had an extraordinary status on the continent.
They really couldn’t stop them with their strength.
Where was Lord Fang Heng? Why was there no news from his side?
