#2656 - Meeting

【Prompt: Player successfully reinforced the seal on the Evil Tree - Atomanro. Player gains 300,000 mission contribution points, gains favor with the Seal Fortress, and gains favor with the Mijie Paladin team】.

During this time, Fang Heng had continuously reinforced eight sealing locations. Including the help he provided to rescue various teams along the way and the seals he reinforced, his mission contribution points had exceeded 3,000,000.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Fang Heng."

Captain Mijie nodded to Fang Heng, expressing his gratitude.

"You're welcome. We belong to the Holy Court, this is what I should do."

Fang Heng looked at the mission prompt, and was just about to continue looking for new mission points when he suddenly heard Captain Mijie ask, "Mr. Fang Heng, I heard you are looking for Priest Ron?"

Fang Heng felt a bad premonition, "Yes, is Priest Ron in trouble?"

"That's not the case." Mijie shook his head and said, "Priest Ron appeared when the power of the Evil Tree erupted before. He helped us temporarily severely damage the Evil Tree, otherwise we might not have been able to hold on at that time."

"Afterwards, Priest Ron returned to the sealing location to take care of the seal. I think he should still be deep within the seal now. If you want to see him, we can take you there."

"Priest Ron once gave me guidance, so he can be considered half of my mentor."

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

The game prompt then refreshed on his retina.

【Prompt: The player's current contribution points have reached the limit. The player has now obtained Priest Ron's recommendation】.

As expected!

"You're welcome, you're the one who helped us a lot."

After resting for a while, Mijie waved his hand to signal the team to follow him and took Fang Heng to the sealing area to find his mentor, Ron.

...

Deep within the central restricted area of the sealing land.

To Fang Heng's surprise, the entire central restricted area was built in the center of a fortress surrounded by walls.

Before even approaching the central area of the restricted zone, everyone in the accompanying team could feel the sacred power aura leaking from the fortress.

"I am Mijie, we have important matters to request an audience with Priest Ron."

The Holy Court guard outside the door obviously recognized Mijie, nodded, glanced at the accompanying group, and said, "Please leave all irrelevant personnel outside the sealing land."

Mijie asked the other Holy Court paladin guards to stay outside the sealing land for the time being, and took Fang Heng and Yan Xin Yue into the center of the sealing area together.

Inside the sealing area.

A huge open space.

Eight holy mage towers were built around the open space.

The mage towers served as the eight vertices of a giant magic circle on the open space.

Ron held a scepter and was sitting in the center of the magic circle, controlling the magic circle to slowly operate.

Aware of the arrival of visitors, Ron raised his head and looked at Mijie, "You seem to have brought some friends."

"Yes, respected priest."

Mijie bowed and introduced Fang Heng, who was beside him, and said, "This is Fang Heng. He accepted the inheritance trial of the Great Sage and wants to see you. We encountered a spatial rift before. With his help, we successfully sealed the spatial rift completely."

"Sealed the spatial rift...?"

Ron was a little surprised when he heard this and shifted his gaze to Fang Heng.

He did not discover Fang Heng's disguised identity, but a hint of doubt still flashed in his eyes.

The inheritance trial of the Great Sage?

When did that happen?

He seemed to have never heard of it.

However, he had indeed been here for some time under the order of the God's Domain. Perhaps many things had happened during this period, so it was normal not to know.

"So it's a trial taker."

Ron nodded lightly and said, "I have been responsible for guarding the seal here for a long time. I don't know what I can do to help you."

Fang Heng's gaze focused on Ron.

Once, when Ron was young, he learned to use a damaged artifact to create a sealing item in the Sealing Academy.

Now, Ron was also visibly old.

"Priest Ron, the Great Sage's assessment trial requires me to seal a demon with an extremely strong power level. I once asked the Sealing Academy for help and learned your name from them." Fang Heng took a step forward, bowed, and continued, "I heard that Priest Ron once created a powerful sealing item, so I would like to borrow it."

Ron was silent for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't lend you the sealing item."

Fang Heng knew that things were not that simple and asked, "Can I ask why?"

"The Sigh of the Compassionate is indeed in our hands, but it is currently in use. If we lose the sealing item, the seal will collapse, so I'm sorry, I cannot lend it to you."

In use?

Now?

Fang Heng's heart stirred. He looked around and asked, "May I ask, is it being used here?"

"That's right." Ron nodded and continued, "It's the location where you are standing now. Under your feet is the Holy Court's sealing area, which seals a large number of demons, including an extremely powerful demon. I stay here not only to suppress the dimensional space barrier, but also to suppress these demons."

"In the past two days, the demons have shown unusual movements, so I have to stay here to take care of the seal."

"In short, I can't take such a big risk to lend you the sealing item, you should be able to understand."

Fang Heng frowned and asked, "If we can find a way to join forces and completely eliminate the demons?"

"Impossible, you can't do that."

"Priest Ron, I want to try."

"There's no need to try. Even if the Great Sage comes in person, he can't completely seal and purify the demons." Ron had no intention of continuing the conversation, shook his head, and closed his eyes, "I can't help you with this. You can try to go to the God's Domain for help. Go, our meeting is over, leave here."

Fang Heng was helpless and glanced at the game prompt again.

There were no reminders of any kind for the mission. It seemed that Ron was determined not to lend out the sealing item.

"I understand."

Fang Heng cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, Priest Ron."

Mijie led everyone back from the Seal Fortress and reunited with the group outside the door.

Hearing that Fang Heng had returned without success, the morale was somewhat low.

The Holy Court Knights who accompanied Fang Heng were ready to return. After preparing, they saw Fang Heng still standing there.

The guard captain couldn't help but walk to Fang Heng and asked, "Mr. Fang Heng, aren't you going back with us?"

Fang Heng shook his head, cupped his fist to everyone, and said, "No, I still have some things to talk to Mr. Ron about alone. The matter is related to the God's Domain, so it's not convenient to reveal it to you. It may take a while. You go back first. You can tell the priest about my situation. Thank you, everyone."
