Chapter 3688 Running away
Lyanna and the others noticed that although the ceremony had been completed smoothly, Fang Heng was still standing in the center of the ceremony looking troubled, which they found strange.
"Your Majesty."
"Ah."
Fang Heng raised his head, looked at Lyanna, and asked, "Lyanna, does the Island of Sea God have a way to condense a divine essence?"
Lyanna frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and shook her head, saying, "As far as I know, no. The three sea gods worshipped on the Island of Sea God are all chief gods. Other false gods are considered heretics on the Island of Sea God. Any attempt to condense a divine spark is not allowed. Theoretically, if a similar method were to be passed down, it would definitely be completely destroyed."
"But I can't guarantee that either; someone might deliberately leave some behind."
"Um……"
Fang Heng gave a soft "hmm".
It seems I still need to go to Poseidon's Island to check on things.
Even if the method of divine power cannot be found, the Island of the Sea God at least has many deities.
If we were to plunder them all and convert them all into divine power, it would be a substantial income, paving the way for future tasks that would upgrade the level of the deity statues.
Fang Heng looked at Lyanna beside him and asked, "Lyanna, how much do you know about the main island of the Sea God?"
……
Elliott waited at the cave entrance for more than two hours, his unease growing stronger.
That's not right.
I've been waiting for over two hours.
Why is there still no movement?
Has something really happened?
Even if the divine servant can't beat Fang Heng, escaping shouldn't be a problem, right?
They can't be wiped out so quickly, can they?
Elliott looked at the guards of Poseidon's Island outside the cave entrance and asked, "There's been no movement for so long, should we go in and take a look?"
The guard gave Elliott a cold glance but did not answer.
"cut……"
Elliott cursed under his breath, feeling increasingly uneasy about the situation, and prepared to send his men to report to Grand Duke Wendy.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard inside the cave.
Elliott immediately became alert and looked towards the cave.
Lyanna emerged from the cave with a somber expression, accompanied by her guards.
Elliott breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to greet him with a fawning smile. "Welcome, Divine Servant. Was your trip successful?"
Lyanna turned to Elliott, her face cold. "What do you think? Is it fun to play me for a fool?"
"Ah?" Elliot, not knowing what he had done to offend the divine attendant, quickly said, "My lord, it's a misunderstanding, I absolutely did not mean that..."
Lyanna interrupted, "There's not a soul in the cave."
Elliott was completely stunned, standing there speechless for a moment.
Nobody here?
impossible!
Their men are guarding the cave 24 hours a day, so it's certain that Fang Heng and the others are inside the cave.
And why were you making such a ruckus inside? There were clearly sounds of fighting coming from there.
So you said there was no one there?
And if no one is there, what are you doing inside for more than two hours?
Lyanna snorted and waved her hand, saying, "Let's go!"
"Yes!"
……
Grand Duke Wendy was completely stunned when he received the news.
"Have you searched the cave? Are you sure no one is in the hiding place?"
“We didn’t dare to investigate further, but we saw members of the Chamber of Commerce going in and out of the cave after that.”
Elliott also looked like he'd seen a ghost.
I clearly saw them go in, so how come I can't find them?
Does Fang Heng really know some kind of evil magic?
Just as everyone was trembling with fear, a subordinate rushed into the hall and reported to Grand Duke Wendy: "Your Highness, the Island of the Sea God has agreed to our compensation terms and is preparing to withdraw from the Empire."
"Huh? So fast?"
Archduke Wendy jumped up from her chair.
Good news!
The people from Poseidon's Island have been here for three days. The compensation terms they proposed are extremely harsh, and they want to squeeze every last bit of profit out of the Oz Empire. He thought it would take some more time to discuss it.
I didn't expect them to agree so suddenly.
The Oz Empire did suffer heavy losses, but at least the matter was brought to an end.
But then I thought, why would the Island of the Sea God suddenly give in?
Grand Duke Wendy frowned, sensing that something was definitely wrong.
"Tell me what happened."
"We don't know either. It was Poseidon Island that sent someone to inform us. The people from Poseidon Island seem to be in a hurry and are already preparing to evacuate from the harbor."
Grand Duke Wendy's eyes lit up, and he said, "Let's go, let's go take a look at the port area."
……
Two hours later, at the Gulf port.
The Island of Poseidon was in a great hurry this time, reaching a compensation agreement with the Empire at almost the fastest speed, and then immediately set sail.
Those plague carriers! They're finally gone!
Grand Duke Wendy watched as the ships of Poseidon's Isle gradually moved away from the harbor, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
He sensed that the Island of the Sea God might be in trouble, which is why he was in such a hurry to leave.
In any case, the task His Majesty entrusted to him this time can be considered a complete success.
"Grand Duke Wendy".
Grand Duke Wendy's heart skipped a beat when he heard a voice behind him. He turned around and looked at the person who had come in, his eyes immediately showing displeasure. "Fang Heng! What are you doing here?"
"Grand Duke Wendy's words are laughable. Princess Willow and I agreed to temporarily hide to avoid conflict while the people from Seagod's Island were invading the Empire. Now that the people from Seagod's Island have left, I can naturally show myself, can't I?"
Grand Duke Wendy sneered, about to retort, when suddenly a strange thought flashed through his mind.
The people from Poseidon Island left in a hurry. Could it be related to that kid Fang Heng?
Will not!
Grand Duke Wendy shook his head slightly, dismissing the ridiculous thought from his mind.
"You're certainly well-informed, Fang Heng. Do you know how much the Empire has lost because of you this time?"
"I've heard some things."
Fang Heng nodded slightly, looked at the Poseidon Island fleet leaving the harbor area, and said, "Excuse my bluntness, but you brought this on yourselves. I did not ask you to submit to Poseidon Island."
Archduke Wendy's face showed anger, "You..."
Fang Heng interrupted, "Grand Duke Wendy, now that we have reached an agreement with the Empire, could you please have the Empire unseal our ships? We have some business to attend to."
"Leaving? In such a hurry? The ships from Seagod's Island haven't even gone far yet. Aren't you afraid of running into them?" Grand Duke Wendy frowned, not knowing what Fang Heng was up to. "Also, aren't you going to see Her Highness the Princess?"
"No need for you to trouble yourself, Duke Wendy. I'm in a hurry and probably won't have time to see Her Highness the Princess again. I've already left some things for Her Highness. If you happen to meet Her Highness, please tell her that I've remembered this favor and that she can come to me if she needs anything in the future."
Grand Duke Wendy scoffed inwardly, thinking to himself, "This favor you're doing for me is certainly quite expensive."
"By the way, that merchant ship was left for Her Highness the Princess; please convey my message to the Grand Duke." (End of Chapter)
