#2444 - Tamper

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise, and then said warily, "Bishop Will, are you sure the contents of the letter are real? Could it have been tampered with by them?"

"You guessed it, they did erase a section of the letter, but fortunately, their methods of erasing traces were not sophisticated enough, and I have already used mental power to restore the text information."

Fang Heng's heart sank.

Damn it!

The Divine Domain actually has such methods?

Bishop Will shook his head and said, "Fortunately, we were prepared and discovered the problems with a few of them in advance. Bai Mu, I have two tokens that I need you to deliver to Carolina. I have already ordered someone to retrieve them. Since we cannot enter the teleportation channel of Punoze, we will need to trouble you to make another trip later."

"It is my duty, I will do my best to complete it."

Fang Heng nodded in response.

The so-called tokens are probably the two Holy Court sacred artifacts that Carolina borrowed from Bishop Will.

Otherwise, why not just take the two sacred artifacts and disappear?

After waiting for a moment, two guards brought a wooden box about one meter long into the lounge and came to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng respectfully took the wooden box from the tray and weighed it in his hand.

It's quite heavy.

【Item: Holy Court Token】

Fang Heng glanced at the game prompt and raised his head to say, "Bishop Will, the battle in Punoze is tight, I will return with the token immediately."

"Yes, go ahead. Say hello to Carolina for me." Will raised his hand and ordered, "Escort Mr. Bai Mu back."

"Yes!"

"Thank you for your trouble."

Fang Heng nodded, carried the wooden box on his back, and left the lounge with the guards.

So, next…

Fang Heng followed the guards to the teleportation point, while quickly thinking.

The two sacred artifacts are in a sealed state, and forcibly destroying them will also damage the seal, so keeping them is not very useful.

Why not just treat it as a quest item and return it to Carolina?

Continue to play the long game?

Norbert and the others have been trapped, the Holy Court has lost its eyes and ears, Carolina can only trust him, maybe he can still get some tasks from it and trick the Holy Court.

Moreover, Fang Heng himself is very clear.

The Extreme Ice Bone Dragon has been sealed in the Bone Shrine, at least at this stage, it cannot help him fight.

Whether the Holy Court has a sacred artifact or not doesn't make much difference.

As for the Warm Sun Gem…

It is indeed a great threat.

But…

Fang Heng quickly had an idea.

"Thank you, you can send me here, I can handle the rest myself."

After leaving the Holy Light Cathedral, Fang Heng did not let the cathedral guards continue to escort him. After separating from the guards, he quickly walked alone to a deserted corner in the city.

Whoosh!

He spread out his hand, and the Book of Vows appeared in his palm.

Energy Absorption!

As the Book of Vows bloomed with fluctuations, starlight-like dark golden light overflowed from the wooden box, quickly merging into the Book of Vows.

I'll absorb you until you're half crippled first!

…

Punoze.

With a flash of light, Fang Heng returned to the hall again and opened his eyes.

Carolina was still sitting behind the desk.

"Why are you the only one? Where are Norbert and the others? How did things go?"

"Lord Carolina, there was a little problem during the delivery of the letter."

Fang Heng roughly explained the prepared statement.

Norbert and the others privately opened the letter and tried to get their hands on the sacred artifact. Fortunately, it was discovered by Archbishop Will and intercepted.

Currently, Norbert and the others have been imprisoned by the Holy Light Cathedral.

As Fang Heng spoke, he handed the wooden box in his hand to a Divine Domain guard beside him.

Carolina frowned upon hearing this.

Norbert and the others have problems?

She was a little unsure.

Thinking carefully, Fang Heng did indeed escape the pursuit of the Holy Inquisitor with the help of the Death Knight's space power. Could all of this be related to Norbert?

Perhaps there is some possibility.

While thinking, Carolina took the wooden box from the guard's hand.

Confirmed, there were no traces of the box being opened.

Carolina opened the box and reached out to stroke the staff and Warm Sun Gem stored inside.

How could this be?

The power of the staff has been weakened a lot.

It's not unusable, but the effect is greatly reduced, and it will take some time to restore it.

As for the Warm Sun Gem…

Carolina could clearly feel that a large part of the power in the gem had been weakened.

This led to a significant reduction in the Warm Sun Gem's duration and effectiveness.

Fang Heng asked cautiously, "Lord Carolina, will there be any impact?"

Carolina put down the sacred artifact at hand and raised her head to say, "The impact is not significant. With the assistance of the sacred artifact, we have the means to deal with the Extreme Ice Bone Dragon. Since Norbert cannot help at the moment, then you should first enter the Ice Hell area to investigate Fang Heng's whereabouts. I will bring people there later."

"Yes! Lord!"

Fang Heng immediately nodded in response.

【Hint: The player completes the task - Escort Token, the player gains 500 Carolina Favorability, the player gains 5000 Holy Court Reputation】.

【Hint: The player is currently triggering the task - Investigate Fang Heng's whereabouts】.

Task Name: Investigate Fang Heng's whereabouts.

Task Difficulty: S.

Task Description: The Divine Domain is pursuing Fang Heng. Currently, there is news that Fang Heng is staying in the Ice Hell. Please go to the Ice Hell to investigate clues about Fang Heng.

Task Requirements: Find clues about Fang Heng's whereabouts.

Task Reward: Holy Court Reputation, Carolina Favorability.

Looking at the task prompt, Fang Heng couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

I investigate myself?

How interesting.

…

In the outer area of Ice Hell, many players gathered.

The various undead forces in Punoze also rushed to gather.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy.

The Divine Domain's Purifier came aggressively and has completely destroyed the Bone Tower.

Although the sudden appearance of the Extreme Ice Bone Dragon gave the players a shot in the arm, it was only a flash in the pan.

Soon, news spread that the Extreme Ice Bone Dragon had completely disappeared.

The Divine Domain also completely occupied the main city of Punoze, Katan Tour.

The players were forced to have no choice but to hide deeper into the Ice Hell in order to save their lives.

However, once they get close to the Ice Hell, players also have to endure the negative effects brought by the Ice Hell.

At this time, Hornroe, the city lord of Ice Hell Fortress, became a major hope for the players and the major forces in Punoze.

Ice Hell Fortress has been here for so many years, maybe they have a way to deal with the Divine Domain.

However, the response received greatly disappointed everyone.
