1107 The Secret Passage

Lord Brent felt that Tang Mingyue’s tone was not friendly, so he explained gently, “Your Highness Mingyue, please don’t misunderstand. There are rumors outside that Your Highness has been deceived by someone. We are worried about your safety, so we came to take a look.”

“Deceived? Are you talking about me?”

Fang Heng stood up from behind the stone and walked to Tang Mingyue.

“Nice to meet you. I’m the feudal lord of the Land of Plague, Fang Heng.”

“You must be the feudal lord who is cooperating with us, right? Now that everyone has seen Her Highness Mingyue, you can be at ease. It’s almost time, have you prepared the goods? We’ll be setting off now.”

Everyone was stunned by what Fang Heng said.

Ed and the other players were not used to it either.

This doesn’t seem to be the same as the original plan.

Seeing everyone’s puzzled expression, Fang Heng frowned and said, “Do the feudal lords want to come along? The transportation of resources is not dangerous, we appreciate your kindness.”

“Liar, stop pretending. We’ve seen through your lies.”

Maliku walked out of the crowd and confronted Fang Heng.

“We’ve already confirmed with the Empire that this year’s financial expenditure did not include the budget for the construction of a mage tower. The royal family also does not have plans to build a large number of ghost towers. You’re a liar!”

“Fang Heng, what else do you have to say?”

“You guys are here for this?” Fang Heng looked around at the crowd and shook his head, “Who told you that I need to borrow the Empire’s financial resources? ”

Maliku was stunned when he heard this.

The feudal lords were also confused.

What did he mean? Not using the Empire’s finances? What about the money? Where did the money come from?

“I am the one who signed the agreement with the feudal lords. Our agreement did not mention any financial support from the Empire. As for the plan to build the ghost tower, this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

Fang Heng looked at Maliku, “Any more questions? We only have seven days to build the ghost tower. If you delay the construction, are you willing to pay the compensation for the breach of contract on our behalf?”

The feudal lords looked at each other.

They felt that the young necromancer in front of them exuded a strange and confident aura.

From what he said, he was planning to build a mage tower by himself?

A member of the chambers of commerce handed over Fang Heng’s qualification documents.

Lord Brent checked the feudal lord’s qualification certificate and nodded, “There’s no problem with his aptitude. He’s a feudal lord who has just received the Empire’s fief.”

Ed said in a deep voice, “How can a feudal lord who just received a fief have so much money to build a mage tower? Don’t be fooled by him, there must be a problem with him!”

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to Ed.

”Other than being a feudal lord, I’m also a necromancer. Naturally, I know how to build a mage tower. In addition, building a ghost tower is mutually beneficial thing for the Land of Plague and the feudal lords. Unrelated personnel, please step aside. I’m leaving.”

“Building a mage tower requires a magic core. You don’t have that many cores to build.”

“We have a way to solve this.” Fang Heng shook his head and looked at the feudal lords, “If you want to tear up the contract, then I’m sorry. According to the compensation terms, the deposit that has been paid will not be returned.”

The feudal lords looked at each other.

They’ve already given the money, and he wanted to tear up the contract? Wasn’t this stupid?

Ed looked at Fang Heng, who refused to listen to anything, and suddenly felt that the problem was tricky.

He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never thought that Fang Heng would be so stubborn.

At present, they really didn’t have any solid evidence to prove that Fang Heng was a liar.

Of course, Fang Heng would give himself away after a while.

There was no way he could complete the construction of the mage tower!

However, the problem was that the time limit for the task was only 24 hours. Once the time was up, the task would be judged as a failure immediately. At that time, it would be meaningless for them to expose Fang Heng’s scam.

Suddenly, Ed had an idea and said, “I heard that this batch of supplies is going to the Land of Plague. Mr. Randolf told us that you have a secret route that can quickly return to and from Hani City and Griffin City.”

“We can go together and take a look at the construction of the mage tower, right?”

Another feudal lord also reacted and said, “Yes, yes, yes, we’re going to visit together!”

“Indeed, but the construction of a mage tower is a secret. If this secret is accidentally leaked…” Fang Heng looked at the crowd and said, “You must know that the barbarian’s infiltration of humans has been getting more and more intense recently…”

The feudal lords were unhappy and asked, “What do you mean? You’re saying that we’ll leak the situation?”

“Ahem.”

Tang Mingyue coughed lightly and said, “Fang Heng, the feudal lords here have all made great contributions to the Empire. Please don’t say that.”

“I’m sorry.” Fang Heng bowed to Tang Mingyue and showed an embarrassed expression, “Since Your Highness Mingyue has vouched for it, we can visit it. However, the journey to the Land of Plague is expensive…”

Lord Brent did not care about such a small amount of money. He nodded and interrupted, “Good! It’s settled then, I’ll pay for it!”

“If that’s the case, please follow us,”

Fang Heng waved his hand, signaling the Four Seas chamber of commerce to lead the way.

“Dear feudal lords, please do not let your guard down.” Ed walked into the midst of the feudal lords and reminded them in a low voice, “Be careful of them ambushing and snatching supplies on the way.”

“Don’t worry,”

Lord Brent shook his head and looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

He was one of the four famous sword saints of the Empire, Chepo.

With him here, they wouldn’t be afraid even if they encountered the entire barbarian army!

Seeing that the crowd had finally reached an agreement, the manager of the chamber of commerce heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and signaled for the team to move forward.

...

The large team of nearly a thousand people slowly advanced along the path that opened up in the forest.

After walking along the path for nearly 300 meters, the path was blocked by a continuous mountain range.

A dead end?

Ed frowned.

He noticed that the Mage Association leading the way didn’t stop, but went along the mountain range to the right.

Soon, a deep cave appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the chamber of commerce’s people enter the cave with torches, the feudal lord’s team stopped in their tracks and hesitated at the entrance of the cave.

“Lord Fang Heng, where are we going?”

“It’s a cave, a special passage,” said Fang Heng concisely.

“Ah? The route you’re pointing out requires us to pass through the cave?”

“Yes,”

...

Fang Heng said and followed the chambers of commerce in front of him into the cave, leaving the people at the door hesitating.

Special passage? Or was he trying to lure them into a dangerous cave, and then think of a way to ambush them?

The pitch-black cave made the feudal lords feel that Fang Heng was playing tricks!

“Ha, it’s quite interesting. Let’s go in and take a look.”

Lord Brent wasn’t the least bit flustered.

With the Empire’s sword saint accompanying them, they were not afraid of Fang Heng playing any tricks.
