Chapter 1269 - 1269 A Request
1269 A Request
Ed could not help but open his mouth, unable to say a word.
What? Did he leave just like that? Why didn’t he say anything?
What about them?
The higher-ups of the player team looked at each other and felt a headache.
!!
Lord Fang Heng seemed to like to act alone.
He was indeed very strong and often brought them unexpected surprises, but…
He was really unfathomable!
After a while, Ed said to his subordinate beside him, “Inform Li Xue of Lord Fang Heng’s current situation. Tell our people in Lincoln City to find a way to contact Lord Fang Heng. Also, we shouldn’t just wait and waste time. Let’s follow the plan.”
“Mm, that’s good too. I believe Lord Fang Heng will have his plans.”
A few higher-ups of the player game guilds agreed and prepared to take action. A line of game hints suddenly appeared on their retina.
[Hint: Fang Heng’s affinity with Lord Chadwick has increased. The player team has triggered mission-Chadwick’s request.]
Mission t.i.tle: Chadwick’s request.
Mission difficulty: S
Mission description: The citizens of Lord Chadwick’s territory are suffering from a strange plague. Please a.s.sist Chadwick in solving this problem.
Mission requirements: Seal, expel, disperse, and control the plague aura to prevent it from spreading.
Mission reward: Chadwick will swear allegiance to Tang Mingyue, and Tang Mingyue’s heir to the Empire reputation will increase greatly.
Chadwick?
The feudal lord of Lincoln City!
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes immediately revealed an excited expression.
They had guessed correctly!
As expected, Lord Fang Heng had started operating again!
…
In Lincoln City, there was a layer of black mist visible to the naked eye floating on the ground near the mining area.
The entire entrance of the mine seemed to have been completely devoured by the black gas.
“Lord Fang Heng, you’ve seen it for yourself. It’s that strange black fog. It’s too terrifying. Once you come into contact with the aura of the black fog, you’ll be infected with a terrifying plague.”
“Oh right, there are also corpses. The dead infected by the plague will be resurrected into corpses. It’s too terrifying. There are many corpses wandering in the mine.”
“I’ve already evacuated all the residents in the nearby area, but the black fog is still spreading. If this continues, the entire city can’t stay. You have to think of a way to help us.”
Chadwick looked at Fang Heng as if he had seen his savior, and his words were sincere.
Those idiots from the Holy Court had promised to ensure that there would be no problems in the mining area, but what about now?
There was no response to the request for help he sent to the Empire, and the Holy Court was also pretending to be dead.
Originally, Chadwick had been prepared to abandon Lincoln City and flee.
His heart was bleeding!
He finally had a Tier 2 mage tower in his territory, but before the Mage a.s.sociation could send someone to help the mage tower operate, the entire Lincoln City was gone!
How unlucky!
While complaining and preparing to run away, Chadwick never expected that his subordinates would suddenly send news that Lord Fang Heng had taken the initiative to help them!
“Yes.”
Fang Heng poked his head out of the bushes and grunted softly. He sized up the mining area that was shrouded in a black aura in the distance.
He had followed Chadwick all the way here, feeling a little confused.
Previously, Qiu Yaokang had spent most of the night studying the samples of the plague aura and the original devouring body, and he seemed to have found something. He then asked for more samples of the plague aura for research.
The capital of the empire was too dangerous. He had just escaped from the tiger’s mouth, so Fang Heng naturally did not dare to go there again.
Hence, he thought of Lincoln City.
There was also an abyss seal in the mining area outside of Lincoln City. He could run over there and collect the plague aura.
Moreover, it was safer.
Therefore, Fang Heng brought Qiu Yaokang and Warren over at dawn.
He had originally wanted to sneak in, but he did not expect to meet Chadwick and his party who were out of the city.
When both enemies met, Fang Heng was about to start a fight when he saw the other party come over to hug his thigh with a face full of surprise. He even looked as if he had finally found a savior, crying and begging Fang Heng to save their Lincoln City.
Only then did Fang Heng realize that the friendship between him and Lord Chadwick had been raised to friendly due to the establishment of the Tier 2 mage tower.
Thus, everyone was warmly invited by Chadwick.
Chadwick had placed all his hopes on Fang Heng.
As for the Holy Court’s nonsense, he didn’t believe it at all.
Seeing that Fang Heng did not speak for a long time, he felt a little uneasy and could not help but ask, “How is it? Lord Fang Heng, did you discover anything?”
Fang Heng stared at the entrance of the mine in the distance and said in a deep voice, “Hmm, it seems like the plague aura has indeed leaked out, and the degree of leakage is even higher than in the royal family.”
Chadwick could not help but be secretly alarmed at this.
Even though the plague aura that had appeared in his territory last night had already left him in a terrible state, the sensational news from the Empire still reached his ears.
The demonic creatures raised by Salvador in the royal family caused a huge commotion.
There was a connection between the two?
“I strengthened the seal before I left. It shouldn’t have caused such a large-scale leakage of aura.”
Warren looked puzzled. He looked at Chadwick and asked, “Lord Chadwick, did anyone touch the seal after we left?”
Chadwick’s face changed, and he looked angry at once. He said angrily, “It was the Holy Court! After you left, only the people from the Holy Court went in. They even said that they wanted to strengthen the seal. d.a.m.n it! I’m really an idiot! I already knew that these people from the Holy Court had ill intentions!”
With Warren’s reminder, Chadwick suddenly understood.
If anyone had approached the seal, it would undoubtedly be the people of the Holy Court!
Late yesterday, the Holy Court had sneaked into the mine cave, not allowing anyone to approach and completely sealing the cave…
It turned out that all the problems were caused by them!
A thief crying ‘stop thief’!
Everything was caused by the people of the Holy Court, and they even slandered Lord Fang Heng!
Chadwick felt that he had been blinded by greed. How could he have listened to the Holy Court’s nonsense?
Fang Heng frowned when he heard that.
So it was the people of the Holy Court who released the seal of the demon?
But why?
What were they after?
Seeing Fang Heng’s solemn expression, Chadwick was even more uncertain. He hurriedly asked, “Lord Fang Heng, do you think we can still be saved? Please save Lincoln City and save the displaced citizens in the city…”
Warren couldn’t bear to see the citizens of the Empire die tragically under the plague. He said, “Lord Chadwick, it’s not time to give up yet. Please step back a little with your men. We will personally enter the cave to investigate and try to repair the seal.”
Chadwick’s eyes lit up and he quickly thanked him, “Thank you, thank you so much. There are still revived corpses in the mine. Be careful when you go in to investigate.”
