#2649 - Cheated

Neil opened the letter and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He looked up at Fang Heng.

"You are Fang Bai?"

"Yes."

"Interesting. The Bishop believes you are an evaluator of the Sage of the Divine Realm, with great potential, so he recommends you come here to find High Priest Ron..."

An evaluator of the Sage!

How dare he brag about something so big?

Even more unbelievable, the Archbishop was actually fooled by him?

Neil continued to examine the letter, shaking his head, "Unfortunately, High Priest Ron is busy with the seal and has no time to see you. Recently, there have been some fluctuations in space, and some of the seals are not very stable. We don't have time to deal with these things..."

"In short, I already know about it, and I will keep the letter for now. When High Priest Ron finishes what he is doing, he will invite you to meet him. You can stay here during this time."

Fang Heng frowned and stepped forward, "When will that be?"

"That's hard to say."

Fortress Lord Neil looked at them and said, "If you are in a hurry, you can go back first and come back after a while. Of course, if you have the strength, you can also help us deal with the troubles of the seal here."

"Perhaps the faster the trouble here is resolved, the sooner you will be able to see High Priest Ron."

Fortress Lord Neil waved his hand, "Okay, that's it. If you want to stay and help, you can find Deputy Fortress Lord Kert, he will tell you what to do. I have other things to do, so I won't delay you, please."

With that, Fortress Lord Neil left in a hurry with his guards.

Fang Heng looked at the people in the hall leaving all at once, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the leader of the Holy Court guard team, asking, "It seems that the Archbishop and the Fortress Lord have a very average relationship?"

The squad leader hesitated, with a bitter smile on his face, and said, "Maybe there are some disagreements in philosophy."

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to Yan Xin Yue next to him again.

Yan Xin Yue shrugged and said helplessly, "I've heard some, probably just that civil officials and military officers don't like each other, it's not that serious."

"Okay, understandable."

Yan Xin Yue asked, "What should we do? Are we going back or staying?"

Fang Heng was thinking when a game prompt appeared.

[Hint: The player's current mission is to go to the Land of Spatial Seals to complete. Subsequent side mission triggered - Fortress Lord Neil's Trust].

Mission Name: Fortress Lord Neil's Trust.

Mission Description: Fortress Lord Neil does not trust you, who was introduced into the fortress by the Archbishop. In order to gain trust, you can try to obtain relevant tasks in the fortress to establish favorability or find the Deputy Fortress Lord to accept relevant tasks to obtain fortress contribution points, or you can return to seek the Archbishop's help.

Mission Requirements: Reach the limited value of friendliness with fortress-related missions; reach 50,000 points of Seal Fortress contribution; return to seek help from the Archbishop to trigger subsequent missions.

Fang Heng looked at the game prompt.

Understood.

In fact, this new identity he created has not officially joined the Holy Court camp. If he wants to see the target mission, he has to complete the prerequisite conditions of the mission.

He has to grind a wave of contribution or favorability in the fortress.

Even if he returns to find the Archbishop now, he will probably encounter all kinds of troublesome tasks.

There's no need to waste time running back and forth.

After clearing his thoughts, Fang Heng nodded and said, "No, let's go talk to the Deputy Fortress Lord."

...

"Heh, so you were introduced by the Archbishop? You're really giving us trouble. The lack of material supply in the sealed area is not a matter of a day or two, and we haven't seen any support, but you keep giving us trouble."

Deputy Fortress Lord Stuart was a young man who had just been promoted. When he heard Fang Heng and his party explain their intentions, he immediately looked displeased and spoke much more bluntly.

"Okay, since the Fortress Lord has already agreed to let you stay, you can stay as long as you want, but I'm very busy now. If you don't want to help, don't bother me."

Fang Heng observed the mission description and put on a pious expression, "I don't intend to disturb you. I'm just here following the guidance of the Holy Light. If there's anything I can help with, please tell me."

Stuart was a little surprised by Fang Heng's attitude.

After all, the people sent by the Archbishop before were all arrogant.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll tell you about it."

After being stunned for a moment, Stuart's tone softened a bit, and he continued, "The location we are currently in is the Land of Seals. This used to be the place where the ancient battlefield broke out. The fierce battles of the ancient battlefield caused a great degree of fluctuation in space, and the spatial barrier was weakened a lot. The entire space is in an extremely unstable state, and due to some special coincidence, this happens to be the intersection of dimensional spaces..."

Fang Heng's pupils shrank.

"Are you talking about dimensional space?"

"Yes, it is dimensional space. It was first discovered by scholars of sealology, a special spatial structure."

Stuart explained with a solemn expression, "There are all kinds of strange things in the dimensional space, including powerful monsters. Also, I heard that those sealology guys also throw all kinds of garbage into it."

"Due to the spatial turbulence and the special effects of the dimensional space, coupled with the weak spatial barrier, the dimensional space frequently experiences violent fluctuations, producing a large number of cracks, and a large number of monsters also emerge from it."

"In short, the area we are in is extremely dangerous. In order to ensure that the dimensional space risk does not spread, we have occupied this place and guarded its safety. We have gradually established a defensive barrier and a fortress on the periphery."

"Of course, there are also benefits. Since space-based abilities are almost unusable in the sealed area, we don't have to worry about the sealed monsters escaping through space-based abilities. The power of the sealed monsters will also be greatly weakened by the influence of the sealed space."

"Anyway, the high-level officials of the Holy Court have sent a large number of heavy troops to guard here. They simply built a 'prison' in the central part of the interior, and many monsters that could not be completely eliminated were sealed here."

As he spoke, Stuart became a little unhappy again, and his tone became sharper, "You came at a bad time. Starting about half a year ago, the monsters in the dimensional space have shown a special mutation. The speed of this mutation is not fast, but it is spreading rapidly."

Fang Heng frowned and asked, "What do you mean by mutation?"
