1882 New Discoveries

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei had a brief discussion and found that his absence in the past two days didn't lead to any significant issues. Consequently, he headed to the Temple of Zeus built by Sandy to find Ji Xiaobo.

One notable point was that due to the great holy sword's inability to activate and its attribute that couldn't be stored in a backpack, Fang Heng couldn't carry it with him at all times.

After the previous incident, they temporarily housed the Holy God's great sword in the Temple of Zeus.

Believers in the Holy Light sensed the waves of holy power emanating from the great holy sword, further increasing their loyalty and favorability rating towards the prison.

In this regard, the great holy sword wasn't entirely useless.

When Fang Heng arrived at the Temple of Zeus, Ji Xiaobo was seated beside the great holy sword in the center of the hall, engrossed in deep meditation.

Accompanying him was Sandy.

Sandy was equally intrigued by the great holy sword.

After a conversation, they surprisingly felt a strong sense of camaraderie.

"Brother Fang!"

Seeing Fang Heng's arrival, Ji Xiaobo instantly lit up. Abandoning all thought, he rushed over, his eyes brimming with admiration. "Brother Fang! Heard you tangled with the Holy Court again? Tell me about it! Who did you encounter this time? Give me the details..."

"Ahem..."

Fang Heng couldn't help but cough lightly.

What did he mean by tangling with the Holy Court again? It made it sound as if he were some troublemakers.

But then again, it wasn't entirely baseless.

"Do you know about the Holy Court's oracle, Autolia?" Fang Heng inquired after a pause.

That was the Holy Court's one of three reigning figures in the real world!

Autolia!

The controller of the holy weapon!

Ji Xiaobo was thrilled at the mention of the name, his eyes reflecting fervent admiration. "I heard about her! Absolutely! Autolia! The oracle of the Holy Court! Brother Fang, spill it! How did it go? Did you win? Share with me the fight's details!"

"There wasn't exactly a win or loss." Fang Heng shrugged.

There was no altercation.

Consequently, there was no clear winner or loser.

No problem there.

"Amazing!" Ji Xiaobo was extremely excited and gave Fang Heng another thumbs-up.

Their necromancy discipline finally had someone making headlines!

The incident of Viona's earlier demise couldn't be made public. He could only revel in it privately.

This time, Brother Fang and Oracle Autolia had a bit of a showdown, a tale they could at least boast about, right?

As Ji Xiaobo pondered gleefully, Fang Heng lightly patted his back.

"Also, don't spread this matter around."

"Why not?"

"I used the same name, but the Holy Court can't confirm if that person was me. Spreading it could cause trouble for the Necromancer Association. Understand?"

"Okay, okay..." Ji Xiaobo's spirits immediately dampened.

Not being able to flaunt it outside felt terrible!

"I heard from Old Mr. Mo that you made some discoveries about the great holy sword?"

"Yes, indeed!"

Mentioning the holy sword brought back Ji Xiaobo's enthusiasm. He led Fang Heng to the great holy sword and said, "Brother Fang, Mr. Sandy, and I have discussed and researched extensively. Finally, we've made a discovery."

"Tell me about it?"

"Um, um, we suspect that this sword, the vast sword, is a weapon from the legendary realm of gods, a weapon known as the Chosen Seal Giant Sword. It's said that this sword was originally designed to suppress the death realm. The Holy Court once used this great sword to completely purify and obliterate the death realm crevice in Ciboreya. The sword also lost a portion of its strength."

　

 　 

　

 　

 　　 　　 　

　

"After that, the holy blade was lost. As for why it ended up in the rift in Punoze's Frost Hell, I'm not sure."

"Oh... Ciboreya...?"

Fang Heng furrowed his brow.

He felt like he had heard of that place before.

Wasn't it from a mid-tier game world?

"Hmm?" Fang Heng looked at the great sacred blade and asked, "And then?"

"And then..." Ji Xiaobo choked again.

"Uh, well, and then..." Ji Xiaobo glanced at Sandy beside him, "It appears to be related to Ciboreya..."

Sandy added, "Fang Heng, we lack sufficient data. There's no information available on this vast sword. You also don't have any information related to Punoze. If there's a chance, we should visit Punoze or Ciboreya to gather some intel."

"Okay, got it. Let's wait a few more days. It's not convenient for you to go out now. Let's explore from other angles first."

Fang Heng patted Ji Xiaobo on the shoulder. "You've done great. Keep investigating. I trust in your capabilities. After all, both of us hold the future of necromancy. The glory of necromancy rests on us..."

"Don't worry!"

Ji Xiaobo was invigorated by Fang Heng's words. He nodded fervently, feeling motivated. "Brother Fang, leave it to me! I'll dig deep into this investigation!"

"Yes."

Fang Heng didn't hold much faith for Ji Xiaobo to uncover anything substantial. He simply wished to keep him occupied and prevent any trouble.

After settling Ji Xiaobo, and with no other pressing matters in the game world, Fang Heng logged off again and returned to the third-floor commission center to check.

"Hello, Amanda's husband. How can I assist you?"

"Could you check my current points and the status of my commissions, please?"

"Of course. Your points balance is 1310. You have 29 commissions pending confirmation and 11 commissions pending verification. Please wait a while. Upon confirmation, you'll receive a 30% points bonus. Once verified, the remaining reward points will be granted."

"Is there any beast taming skill book available for sale here?"

"After checking, the Library of the Myriad Worlds doesn't have any related books for sale. I suggest posting a commission. You'll be immediately notified if someone is willing to teach the skill."

Fang Heng pondered his options.

He currently only had 1,000 points.

It might be quite challenging to acquire an entry-level beast taming skill with just this amount.

Nevertheless, it was worth a try.

"Alright, I would like to post a commission. I'm looking to learn the basics of beast taming. The reward will be 1000 points. I'm also open to using other items for exchange."

"Okay, your request has been submitted. If a player accepts the commission, we'll promptly inform you via the contact details you provided."

"Thank you."

Now, it was a waiting game.

Feeling a bit drowsy, Fang Heng decided to return to his room for a nap before embarking on another round of missions.

With just 1,000 points, the likelihood of acquiring a beast taming skill seemed low.

What about 10,000? Or a hundred thousand?

If the price was right, he believed he could learn it.

Arriving back at his room, Fang Heng noticed that Gu Qingzhu still hadn't returned. Only the phantom shadow rat was creating a mess by running amok among the decorations.

Where could Gu Qingzhu be?

He hadn't seen her all day.

Without the protection of the phantom shadow rat, she risked being tracked by the Federation and wouldn't leave the hotel.

So, where had she gone?

As Fang Heng pondered this, his phone rang.
