[Hint: The player team and Lord Barov have reached a supplementary agreement to build a mage tower (Tier 2)]

Wei Tao and Mikhael looked at each other and did not know what to say for a moment.

Without a doubt, the ghost tower agreement was definitely Fang Hengs doing.

How should he put it

Was Fang Hengs doing reasonable?

Ahem. Wei Tao saw that the atmosphere was a bit stiff and coughed lightly. Fang Heng has his plan. In short, well go to the front line to find Tang Mo first.

Okay, sure.

.

The capital of the Empire, Atama.

Central Imperial City.

On a tall tower, a strong young man stood in front of the window and looked down coldly.

He moved his lips slightly and muttered to himself, Legendary necromancer Fang Heng, you really came.

In the distance, Lord Brent led Fang Heng and Sandy through the security check at the entrance and entered the Imperial City together.

Lord Fang Heng, this is your first time entering the Imperial City, right? Let me give an introduction of this place to you. The Imperial City is built in the central area of our Empires capital. It is divided into two parts, the inner city, and the outer city.

Lord Brent led the two of them towards the Western region as he explained, The outer city is divided into the Eastern and Western regions. The Eastern region holds the Empires various administrative organizations, while the Western region has the Empires research facilities. The Empire Alchemy Research Inst.i.tute youre looking for is one of the Empires key research facilities.

Theres also the inner city area, where the Empires royal family is located. Under normal circ.u.mstances, its forbidden to enter, so its better if we dont talk about it.

Lord Brent explained with a proud expression.

Lord Fang Heng, the best talents in our Empire are gathered in the Western District. The scholars who can appear here are all quite capable.

Indeed, very powerful.

Fang Heng nodded his head and praised.

Look, thats the Empire Alchemy Research Inst.i.tute, the largest of all the research inst.i.tutes. The royal family has invested the most in alchemy for many years.

Lord Brent led the way in front. Soon, he brought Fang Heng and Sandy to a large building.

The Empire Alchemy Research Inst.i.tute occupied a large area, and there was a large square outside the building.

The square was bustling with noise and was filled with dense stalls of all sizes. There were at least seventy to eighty of them. Many people were discussing in front of the stalls. At first glance, it looked more like a market.

Hahaha, its quite lively, isnt it? The royal family of the Empire has always supported the development of various academics so the Western region often holds various academic seminars.

The alchemy seminar that is held once every three years is the biggest seminar. Outstanding scholars from all over the Empire will be invited to have academic exchanges. Every time, there will be many new research products. All the academies in the Empire are also keen on this. This is also their way of increasing the influence of their academies.

Indeed, its quite interesting, Fang Heng answered.

Along the way, Fang Hengs gaze s.h.i.+fted to the Imperial Citys inner city area from time to time.

If his guess was correct, Tang Mingyue should be under house arrest in the inner city.

He could already see teams of Empire soldiers patrolling the outer city, so the security in the inner city must be even tighter.

But Fang Heng, ahem, this is your first time learning alchemy, right? Let me give you a warning. Those who learn alchemy have a bad temper. They have always been arrogant and dont put anyone in their eyes. Later on, dont lower yourself to their level. Just treat it as fart.

Alright, I understand, Fang Heng frowned and nodded.

Haha, its not a big deal. We dont have to lower ourselves to their level. If they really bully us, we dont have to be afraid. Well just fight them and itll be over!

Lord Brent was very enthusiastic and said, Lets go, Lord Fang Heng. Ill bring you in for a stroll. Its my first time here as well. Oh right, Ive already made a reservation at a restaurant tonight. Ive also invited a few good friends. Lets drink until were drunk.

Thank you for your kind intentions. As for the banquet, you dont have to be so polite. We still want to go to the Alchemy Research Inst.i.tute later. In addition, there is a lot of information that we want to check. It may take a long time, so we wont waste your time. We can do it ourselves.

Alright. Lord Fang Heng has been devoted to research. No wonder you have such high achievements. Oh, this is the invitation letter I prepared for the two of you. With this invitation letter, you can enter and exit most of the areas in the outer city of the Western region.

Lord Brent did not mind Fang Hengs att.i.tude. The latter was a big shot in the academic world, so he always had some quirks. Furthermore, he was a necromancer who was famous for being eccentric and unsociable.

Besides, he really didnt know anything about alchemy, and he didnt want to talk to those alchemists.

However, Lord Fang Heng, theres one more thing you must remember. Theres a curfew in the Imperial City from seven o clock in the evening. No one is allowed to walk outside. If you want to stay in the Research Inst.i.tute tonight, you must apply in advance.

I understand. Thank you.

Fang Heng took the invitation and watched Lord Brent leave.

Then, Fang Heng s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Sandy and asked, The Alchemy Research Inst.i.tute is right in front of us. Where is the key were looking for?

Oh If Im not wrong, the secret key should be hidden in the Imperial Alchemy Research Inst.i.tute. We still have to go in and take a look.

On the way here, Sandy had been studying the layout of the royal palace.

On the whole, it was more or less the same as what he had read in the books before, except for a few slight changes.

Yes, lets go.

Fang Heng nodded and stepped into the noisy Alchemy Research Inst.i.tute.

Oh

Just a few steps into the Research Inst.i.tute, Sandy stopped and stood in front of the huge figure statue at the entrance of the square.

He sized up the tall statue, his eyes revealing a deep sense of doubt.

Whats wrong?

Fang Heng. I found him in ancient books. The prototype of this statue isnt him. It must have been altered by someone.

Yes.

Fang Heng uttered a soft hmm and looked up at the statue.

The statue was of a middle-aged man holding a book, with a scholarly aura.

Its been hundreds of years. Its normal for the statue to change.

Oh, youre right.

But this is going to be troublesome, Sandy said, troubled. The original name of the statue may be part of the secret key.

Its fine. There will be a record of the replacement of the statue. Well find it after checking it out. Alright, lets not waste time. Lets go.
