1104 A Devout Scholar
The worst-case scenario had happened.
Someone was actually targeting their guild in secret!
Ed narrowed his eyes.
Now it seemed that a player was secretly playing a big game of chess, and his ambition was so big that he wanted to kill their entire guild!
What was terrifying was that such a powerful opponent had been hiding in the dark all along.
Ed looked at the crowd.
To the guild, the A-level team reward wasn’t that important. What they needed the most was to get rid of this hidden opponent and obtain the feudal lord’s friendship.
“Let’s look for the Mage Association and get them to provide proof that a necromancer is able to build an association. We will also investigate a few large guilds and see who is targeting us in the dark.”
“Alright, we’ll contact the Mage Association immediately.”
“Wait!”
Ed rubbed his chin and reached out to stop him, “We have a good relationship with many feudal lords. Send them invitations and try to gather as many feudal lords as possible. Tell them the truth of the matter. We’re going to completely expose necromancer Fang Heng’s true colors!”
“Alright!”
….
“Mr. Fang Heng, I’ve been looking for you. You left in a hurry last time.”
When he saw Fang Heng, who had come to find him in a hurry at the Mage Association, Randolf felt that this young necromancer in front of him was more and more unpredictable.
“I’m sorry, I had some urgent matters to attend to. I came over immediately after I finished.”
“Mm, alright. I was looking for you as well. There are many things we need to discuss regarding the construction of the ghost tower.”
Seeing Fang Heng leave in a hurry after getting the blueprint, Randolf even thought that Fang Heng was a liar for a moment.
Randolf was a relatively simple scholar.
He had always wanted to contribute to the development of the academic community.
He had never expected that the Mage Association’s vault would suddenly receive funds from various feudal lords after Fang Heng had left for a period of time.
After asking around, he found out that Fang Heng was already talking about cooperation with the feudal lords, and was even preparing to build a large number of ghost towers within the Empire!
Her Highness Mingyue had appointed the Mage Association as a third party to oversee the construction of the ghost tower. She even appointed him to be in charge of the use of funds.
Randolf was a little confused.
He wasn’t familiar with Her Highness Mingyue at all, and he didn’t even talk much with Fang Heng. Why did she suddenly let him be in charge of so many funds?
Of course, building more mage towers was a good thing for Randolf. It was to promote learning. Randolf would also take full responsibility for this and provide all the help he could.
“Yes, Mr. Randolf, I’m here to apply for the construction funds for the mage tower.” This time, Fang Heng came with the city supervisor of the Four Seas Trading Company. As he spoke, he handed over the list of materials he had prepared.
“This is the first batch of materials that I need. I hope that the Mage Association can review and provide the funds as soon as possible. The purchase and transportation of the materials will be handed over to the Four Seas Trading Company. What do you think? ”
“Alright, there’s no problem with the list of goods. I’ll contact the Four Seas chamber of commerce now.”
Randolf quickly checked the list of materials, then raised his head and said, “The qualification review of the Land of Plague has been passed, and the procedures are all in accordance with the regulations. However, as the supervisor, the Mage Association will also supervise the use of the materials. In addition, the Mage Association will review and disclose the use of every sum of money.”
“Of course, no problem.”
Randolf hesitated for a moment and asked, “Fang Heng, I heard that the feudal lords who are working with you only need to provide 5% of the initial funds to build the mage tower, and you don’t even charge any maintenance fees. I’m not doubting you, but I’m just very curious. Is this amount of money really enough to build the mage tower?”
“Hahaha, of course.”
Fang Heng chuckled and added in his heart, of course not!
Randolf suppressed the doubts in his heart and nodded, “Alright, I’ll communicate with the Four Seas Trading Company immediately. Where will the first batch of materials be transported to?”
“My hometown, the Land of Plague.”
Randolf was stunned.
The manager of the Four Seas Trading Company, who was following Fang Heng, took out a map and showed it to Randolf. He explained, “The exact location of the Land of Plague is outside Hani City, near the Cesar Forest area.”
“Yeah, it’s a little far.”
Randolf looked at the area on the map and frowned, “The Empire is currently facing a war with the barbarians. The griffins in the city can’t fly. It will take at least two days to transport the goods by land.”
“Hani City is currently at the front line of the war with the barbarians. The situation is not looking good. Our Mage Association will send people to protect them, but time may be tight. Are you sure you can complete the construction of the mage tower within seven days? ”
Fang Heng was also stunned when he heard that, “What did you say? Seven days?”
“Didn’t you make an agreement with the various feudal lords of the Empire to complete the construction of the mage tower within seven days?”
“Oh, yes, yes, yes.”
Fang Heng reacted.
It was probably something Sandy said casually to trick the feudal lords into signing the contract.
It was not important.
In any case, it wouldn’t take seven days. By then, he would have already left the trial game.
Randolf felt that Fang Heng was acting weird and suggested, “It’s very difficult to build a ghost tower in the Land of Plague. It takes a lot of time to transport the materials. Fang Heng, would it be better to build a mage tower in a closed area?”
Fang Heng waved his hand, “No, let’s start from the Land of Plague. We don’t need two days. We have a special route.”
“A special route?”
Randolf was confused.
With the distance between the periphery of Hani City and Griffon City, no matter how special the route was, it would be impossible to shorten the time to a day, right?
“Hahaha, I’ll have to trouble you to purchase materials from the outside world. As for the special route, you’ll know when the time comes.”
Fang Heng patted Randolf’s shoulder in a friendly manner.
Suddenly, a red warning appeared on his retina.
[Warning: As you have used the background influence of a special character in this trial to exceed the critical value, a warning has been triggered. According to the trial rules, some players in the intermediate game will receive relevant hostile missions. Please be careful.]
Fang Heng squinted his eyes.
It was indeed easy to do things with the help of Tang Mingyue’s royal identity.
However, the trial would also have corresponding countermeasures.
The manager of the Four Seas Trading Company bowed to Fang Heng and Randolf respectfully, “Thank you for your support.”
“We’ll be gathering some of the rare materials needed to build the mage tower from the major cities. The rest of the common materials will be prepared by the warehouse of the trading firm in Hani City. For this, we’ll need to borrow the teleportation channel of the Mage Association. Is that okay? ”
“Alright,” said Randolf with a nod. “I’ll talk to the Mage Association about the teleportation passage.”
Fang Heng thanked Randolf, “Thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome. We’re all travelers on the path of exploring the truth, so we should help each other.”
What a good man!
This was what a devout scholar was.
