1271 Big Pie
Qiu Yaokang started talking to himself. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked up at Fang Heng.
“I have an idea. I need to immediately return to the Land of Plague for research. Oh right, I also need to bring some corpses back. I’m very interested in the principle of the plague aura’s resurrection.”
“Okay, I’ll take you out first.”
Fang Heng nodded and returned with Qiu Yaokang.
At the entrance of the iron mine, Lord Chadwick waited anxiously.
They were coming!
Seeing Fang Heng and Qiu Yaokang walk out of the iron mine, Chadwick’s heart skipped a beat.
Why were there only two of them?
There were three of them when they entered.
Did they encounter danger?
“Lord Fang Heng, how is the situation?”
Chadwick anxiously took two steps forward and looked at the entrance to the iron mine behind Fang Heng, “Where’s Mr. Warren? Why didn’t he come out?”
“Don’t worry. Warren is repairing the sealing magic array.”
“Really?”
Chadwick felt as if he had returned to heaven from hell. His eyes lit up with hope and he asked, “Lord Fang Heng, will Lincoln City return to its original state after the seal is repaired?”
Fang Heng shook his head.
“It’s not that simple. There’s an extremely evil power hidden in the cave. The original power was sealed deep in the iron mine, but someone destroyed the seal, causing the plague aura to leak. Because the seal is divided into two layers, even if the outer layer seal is completely repaired, it will only slow down the leakage of the plague aura.”
“Damned Holy Court!”
Chadwick could not help but curse again, “Lord Fang Heng, you must have a way, right? Please save the people of Lincoln City.”
“I will try my best. Your luck is pretty good. Don’t you still have a newly built ghost tower?”
Ghost tower?
Chadwick couldn’t help but look back at the ghost tower that he had signed an agreement with Fang Heng to build.
What did he mean?
Chadwick couldn’t connect the ghost tower to the plague aura.
“Don’t you know? The Tier 2 ghost tower has the effect of dispelling and purifying plague aura.”
Fang Heng said half-truthfully, “You’ll see. With the power of the ghost tower and Mr. Warren repairing the outer alchemy seal, theoretically, we can temporarily resolve the leakage of the plague aura.”
“That’s…that’s great!”
Chadwick didn’t quite understand. He only knew that the ghost tower could clean up the plague aura. He asked, “Is there anything else Lord Fang Heng needs me to do?”
“Yes, I do. I need people to control the operation of the mage tower. The more mage scholars above the apprentice level, the better.”
Chadwick agreed immediately, “Of course, no problem. I’ll immediately go to the Mage Association to invite someone over! I’ll go and get them myself!”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng once again focused his gaze on the entrance of the iron mine.
Since this was one of the official entrances to the underground abyss where the abyssal demon resided, it would be best to build a few more mage towers.
With that thought, Fang Heng called out to Chadwick, “Wait a moment, Lord Chadwick. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to quickly clear the remaining plague aura with just a ghost tower. I’d like to discuss with you whether we can build a few more mage towers nearby.”
“What?”
Chadwick was halfway there when he suddenly froze. He turned his head and stared into Fang Heng’s eyes. His heart could not help but beat violently.
Build a few more mage towers?
There was such a good thing?
For a moment, Chadwick wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing as he asked, “Lord Fang Heng, did you just say that you want to build a few more mage towers?”
“Yes, that’s right. For safety reasons, I hope to build more mage towers around the iron mine. I will assist in the construction, and I will try my best to provide the materials. As for the site…”
“Lord Fang Heng! Don’t worry, leave everything to me!”
Chadwick’s face was flushed with excitement as he agreed, “You can build as many mage towers as you want here! If you need anything, just tell me. As long as it’s within my means, I’ll do my best to satisfy you!”
“Uh…”
Seeing Chadwick suddenly so agitated, Fang Heng was a little baffled for a moment.
He even felt guilty for lying to an honest man.
It didn’t seem like he would go so far as to sell everything.
After all, building a mage tower required some special resources. Even if he sold everything, he would not be able to get them!
“We’ll need some ore resources for the time being. We’ll also need some manpower to transport the resources. There are still some resources left in the Land of Plague. In short, we’ll first find the Mage Association to help open the ghost tower’s teleportation channel. There are many ore resources in the iron mine that can be used as energy for the teleportation channel.”
“Alright, alright! Everything will be done as you say!”
Chadwick was so excited that he felt like he was about to be hit by a pie from the sky that he could not even speak properly, “Don’t worry, I’ll get someone to do it immediately! Even if I have to kidnap them, kidnap those mages from the Empire!”
“Yes. Also, I don’t like to be seen by too many people during construction.”
“I understand, I understand! Don’t worry, leave it to me. You can rest assured!”

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the ghost tower in front of him.
Under the control of several mages from the Mage Association, the ghost tower emitted a faint dark light.
The plague aura gradually spread.
The ghost tower designed by the Saints had the ability to disperse the plague.
During the period of time that Warren was imprisoned in the Imperial mausoleum, he further improved the abilities of the ghost tower.
The black plague outside the mining area was gradually dispersed.
It was unknown who took the lead, but the crowd in the distance cheered.
Other than the feudal lord’s private soldiers, a large portion of the onlookers were feudal lords.
They whispered to each other, their eyes filled with surprise.
Two hours ago, Chadwick had been excited when he found out that Lord Fang Heng wanted to build more mage towers in the city.
However, the territory still lacked a small portion of rare resources, so they could not build a mage tower.
What should he do?
“It’s okay, I’ll lend it to you!”
Lord Chadwick had quite a reputation in the feudal lord world and had good relationships with many feudal lords. He immediately spread the news to borrow some rare ores.
Hence, the new news quickly spread. The feudal lords all learned that Fang Heng was going to build a large number of mage towers in Lincoln City.
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
At first, the feudal lords were puzzled. Why were they building so many mage towers all of a sudden?
Could it be that he wanted to turn Lincoln City into a holy land for mages?
It was only later that they heard that the mage tower was built to deal with the spreading plague.
The discussion grew louder.
The mage tower could actually deal with the plague?
Was this for real?
The feudal lords of the Empire were in an uproar.
