Chapter 3683 Direction
"Fuck!"
Inside the cabin, a magic circle appeared.
Fang Heng stepped out of the magic circle, his brows slightly furrowed.
What's going on? Why is it so noisy outside?
Stepping out of the cabin, one sees that the harbor outside is surrounded by Oz Empire soldiers.
Fang Heng looked at Cao Ge on the deck and asked, "What happened?"
"I don't know."
Cao Ge was exhausted after a long day and had just logged off to rest. He was recalled before he could even fall asleep. "It's the military of the Oz Empire. They just surrounded us not long ago and haven't made any other moves yet."
Fang Heng found it strange.
Has the Oz Empire gone mad? Are they going to turn against him?
"Let's go down and take a look."
Fang Heng led several people off the merchant ship.
At the port, an Imperial officer stepped forward, saluted Fang Heng, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Fang Heng, I am Anders, the commander of the Oz Empire."
"What do you mean by this so late?"
“I’m sorry, this is His Majesty’s order,” Anders took out a letter from his body and handed it to Fang Heng. “This is a letter from Princess Willow to you. Please take a look.”
Fang Heng took the letter from Anders, quickly glanced through it, and handed it to Cao Ge, who was standing to the side.
The letter stated that the Island of the Sea God was greatly angered by the death of the divine servant and had sent a force to the Empire of Oz to demand an explanation.
The Oz Empire was unwilling to confront the Isle of the Sea God head-on, and therefore hoped that he could go into hiding for the time being.
On the surface, the Oz Empire will announce that it will remove the Fangheng Chamber of Commerce from the Oz Empire.
Fang Heng said with a smile, "It seems the Empire doesn't quite trust me."
Please understand.
After reading the letter, Cao Ge couldn't help but sigh.
However, he could understand.
In the Black Sea world, the terror of the Island of the Sea God is deeply ingrained in the minds of every native.
If he hadn't known Fang Heng's strength, he would definitely have made a similar choice.
Fang Heng shrugged.
In fact, he didn't mind that; he was more concerned with obtaining high-level deity statues.
Where is Princess Willow?
“I’m sorry, Princess Willow is unable to leave the palace at the moment,” Anders replied. “We will take you to a safe place to stay temporarily. Princess Willow asked me to tell you that she will fulfill her promise to you. Tomorrow afternoon, we will take you to visit an old man.”
"Ok."
Fang Heng nodded in agreement and left with Anders.
In the distance of the harbor, in the shadows, several pairs of eyes were watching Fang Heng's every move.
Elliott said, "Fang Heng has been taken away by the military. You few go and report to the Grand Duke immediately. I'll take some men to follow him and see."
"Yes!"
Grand Duke Wendy had other plans for Fang Heng.
Perhaps Fang Heng does indeed have some ability in alchemy.
But could he convince Princess Willow to help him so desperately?
will not!
Fang Heng must have used some means to influence the princess's mind.
Perhaps we could find a way to hand Fang Heng over to the Island of the Sea God in order to ease the hostile relationship between the Empire and the Island of the Sea God.
……
The following day at noon, on the sea.
Hundreds of ships sailed at full speed toward the Oz Empire.
The Island of Poseidon was greatly shocked by the news of Tina's death.
Tina is the first of all the priestesses to die unexpectedly outside the palace over the years.
The Empire of Oz?
How could such a small empire possess such power?
They felt that this matter might be related to divine authority.
Out of caution, the Island of the Sea God sent three divine servants to the Oz Empire to capture Fang Heng.
In fact, they were unaware of Fang Heng's true strength.
Their understanding of Fang Heng was limited to a few exchanges of information between Tina and High Priest Sawyer and the main island.
"My lord, we have made contact with the Oz Empire. They claim that Fang Heng did indeed belong to the Imperial Merchant Guild, but he recently left the Oz Empire. They are also unaware of Fang Heng's current whereabouts and have now completely severed ties with him."
“Hmm.” Tobias nodded slightly and said, “Let’s go into the port first.”
"Yes!"
At the port, Grand Duke Wendy, along with a group of high-ranking officials from the Empire, personally greeted them.
"I have met the divine servant of the island of the sea god."
Tobias asked coldly, "Where is Fang Heng?"
“Fang Heng left three days ago and has not returned since. Please understand that our Oz Empire has absolutely no involvement in this matter, and the death of the Divine Servant has absolutely nothing to do with us.”
Tobias's tone immediately turned cold as he said, "Do you think you can absolve yourself of responsibility by simply saying you don't know?"
"I'm very sorry, but the Oz Empire is willing to provide compensation."
Archduke Wendy had already prepared a contingency plan.
Compensation to avert disaster is certain.
They just hoped that Poseidon Island wouldn't make exorbitant demands.
"Humph!"
Tobias scoffed and continued, "We'll talk about compensation later. First, we need to search the Oz Empire to confirm there are no traces of Fang Heng or the remnants of the Seagod Island heretics. Do you have any objections to this?"
Grand Duke Wendy took a deep breath and said, "Of course, we will cooperate."
Tobias waved his hand, ordering the guards from the Sea God's Island who were accompanying him to seal off the port. Then he closed his eyes and tried to sense the surroundings.
No powerful divine power was sensed within the Oz Empire.
“We have arranged accommodations for Your Excellency, please follow me.”
……
Meanwhile, Fang Heng, escorted by several imperial guards, entered a wooden house in the suburbs.
Princess Willow arranged for an old man to meet Fang Heng.
"According to you, the power within you is in conflict with the power of the gods, which is why you cannot bind to the god statue."
After listening to Fang Heng's story, the old man stared at him for a moment and then fell silent.
Fang Heng said, "Senior, please speak frankly."
"I think the problem probably doesn't lie with the gods."
"What do you mean?"
The old man adjusted his thick glasses, stood up, and took a book with a yellowed and darkened cover from the bookshelf behind him. "In my judgment, your power has probably reached the level of a legendary god."
“Power of a god-level being can sometimes conflict with the power of faith in other gods. For example, two conflicting divine powers cannot be used at the same time.”
"From your description, the power you control is extremely domineering and cannot be compatible with other faith powers."
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely felt as if he had grasped something. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Senior, how should I solve this problem?"
“I think you might consider building a statue of your own deity.” The old man nodded and said, “Use the domineering power within you as the source to establish a faith and build a statue of your deity.”
Fang Heng's pupils contracted.
Build your own statue of a deity?
Is there such a saying?
The old man explained, "It is indeed difficult to reach this point, but it is not impossible. Princess Willow told me that you are very strong, otherwise I would not have thought of this possibility."
Lines of game prompts flashed rapidly across my retina.
