1162 Incomplete
“Sandy, what’s going on?”
Sandy scratched his head and revealed an upset expression, “I know, no wonder I thought it was strange. I was wondering why there was such a huge bunch of useless information in that book, so the missing alchemy magic array was hidden in that book.”
Without the continuous infusion of mental power, the alchemy magic array on the ground began to fade slowly.
“Can you still find a way to restore it?” asked Fang Heng with a frown.
“I can, but I’ll have to go back to the third floor to check it out. It’ll take some time, about two to three hours.”
Fang Heng thought for a while and said in a low voice, “Okay. Let’s go back first. We’ll come back later. Let’s restore this place first.”
“Yes.”
Everyone nodded in unison, then worked together to clean up the wood shards on the ground. Together, they covered the carpet again, and everything in the room was restored to its original state.
“Let’s go!”
Ed took a deep breath and quickly followed Fang Heng out of the room.
He was extremely nervous.
The mysterious magic array that was discovered in the Alchemy Society!
And it had been quite a few years.
What did this mean?
It was a great mission, and it was an extremely high-level mission!
If he remembered correctly, the building of the Alchemy Society used to be the gathering place of the Saints of the Empire.
To be able to leave behind a secret magic array here…
Ed couldn’t help but get excited.
This mission was most likely related to the legendary Saints of the Empire!
When they returned to the guest room, Eddy’s thoughts were almost cleared.
He had encountered a high-level mission that was even more difficult. This time, he must not let it go!
Sandy had already rushed back to the third floor of the Alchemy Society to continue reading the books, hoping to restore the images as soon as possible.
Ed looked at Fang Heng and asked, “Lord Fang Heng, is the magical array we found related to the Saint?”
The surprise on Fang Heng’s face disappeared in a flash.
In fact, he also had such a guess.
“Why do you ask?”
“It’s just a strange feeling. This used to be the gathering place of the Empire’s Saints, so I’m thinking that this alchemy magic array might have been left behind by them.”
Fang Heng’s heart moved. He nodded and said, “It’s possible. I found traces of an ancient magic array on that alchemy magic array. If it’s convenient, ask your friend to inquire again.”
“Alright, I’ll go now.”
Ed nodded and hurried back to his room, ready to go offline and ask his friends for information about the Saints and the Alchemy Society.
Seeing Ed leave in a hurry, Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the outside of the window.
Sandy still needed two to three hours to figure out the broken magic array, but now, he could try to see if he could go to the inner city of the Empire’s royal family to check out the situation.
While thinking, Fang Heng took another look at his skills column.
Half an hour ago, the cooldown for the Blood Temple’s additional skill, ‘descent’, had been completed.
The royal family’s inner city area was heavily guarded. Fang Heng naturally wouldn’t break in without any preparation.
Previously, he had asked Mo Jiawei to build a blood altar in the underground world in advance to shorten the cooldown time of his ‘descent’ skill.
He would give it a try.
It should not be a problem to protect himself by using the ‘descent’ skill to summon the Vampire King’s coffin for battle.
…
In the Imperial City, Fang Heng transformed into a bat and flew out of the window at the end of the path of the Alchemy Society. He hovered in the sky above the Imperial City.
The moon was normal tonight, but the thick clouds blocked the moonlight, so the light wasn’t far away.
This was good news for Fang Heng.
Fang Heng didn’t enter the inner city directly. Instead, he circled around the outer city and prepared to sneak in at a weak point.
Looking down from the sky, there were many patrols and sentries in the Imperial City, and the guards in the key areas were even more concentrated.
Eh?
Fang Heng suddenly noticed something and looked down.
Not far away from the Alchemy Society, a group of people in royal guard uniforms were leading the people of the Alchemy Society toward the inner city.
The people of the Alchemy Society carried two large boxes and walked forward slowly, surrounded by royal guards.
Alchemy synthetic crystals!
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up and he immediately released his perception.
That’s right! It was the crystal ore!
A familiar spiritual energy fluctuation came from the box.
There was a high chance that the box contained the crystals that the Alchemy Society had refined during the day.
Transport them into the royal family’s inner city at night?
Was there a need to cover it up like this?
So, it was still the same question. What did the Empire need so many synthetic crystals for?
Fang Heng was curious and hovered in the sky for a while. After some thought, he decided to follow the Empire’s army secretly.
No one in the Empire had ever seen the vampires, so they did not pay special attention to the bats.
Fang Heng was able to follow the escort team all the way in the sky until they flew over the wall of the inner city.
As soon as he entered the inner city, a line of game prompts refreshed on Fang Heng’s retina.
[Hint: The player has entered the inner city.]
[Hint: The current area is an extremely dangerous area.]
[Hint: The player will obtain the current location of the mission target, Tang Mingyue, based on the comprehensive trial difficulty.]
A pale arrow immediately appeared on the upper right corner of Fang Heng’s retina, pointing to the front right.
Good news.
The trial mission was finally completed.
Previously, Fang Heng was still worried about how to find Tang Mingyue. Now that he had the game instructions, it naturally became more convenient.
Let’s not bother about Tang Mingyue.
At the moment, the secret hidden in the black stone was more important.
Fang Heng put Tang Mingyue’s task aside for the time being and followed the material delivery team all the way in the sky until they came to a gorgeous large palace building in the central area of the Imperial City.
“Chi…”
Fang Heng remained in his bat form and hung upside down on a big tree, observing the guards and buildings not far away.
The guards stood guard on the outside, watching the members of the Alchemy Society bring the boxes into the building.
What was this place?
Fang Heng sized up the building.
It didn’t feel like a warehouse.
This building was built in the center of the Imperial City. It couldn’t be the Emperor’s bedroom, right?
Fang Heng could only make a rough guess as he lacked the architectural map of the Empire.
Perhaps he should go in and take a look?
Fang Heng was hesitating whether he should go closer and try to sneak in. Suddenly, a dozen Empire guards at the door raised their crossbows.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!!”
More than a dozen cold lights flashed.
Fang Heng immediately flapped his wings and flew away.
“What’s going on?”
The captain of the Empire guards, who was responsible for guarding the building, came out of the hall with dozens of people to check the situation.
“Captain, the alchemy magic array has sensed something. We suspect that an intruder has appeared in that area.”
The two guards pointed at the place where Fang Heng was previously.
“The ripples have disappeared.”
The chief guard took a look in the direction where Fang Heng was just now and said in a deep voice, “Yes, strengthen the security. Be careful. If something happens to the enlightenment stone, everyone will be buried with it.”
In the air, Fang Heng was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
How could an ordinary soldier of the Empire discover him?
How did he do it?
It was strange!
Fang Heng decided to leave temporarily.
He had already noted down the location of the Empire’s crystals. He would find Tang Mingyue first and make further plans after he went back and investigated.
In mid-air, Fang Heng followed the location indicated by the game on his retina and quickly flew toward Tang Mingyue’s location.
