Chapter 2716: The Problem
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Alright, thank you.”
Fang Heng silently praised himself.
He decided not to worry too much about the hostile attitude of some of the Empire’s officers. His goal was to climb the ranks, and as long as he had the support of the Empire’s ruler, Renee, everything would be fine.
With this, the matter was effectively settled.
Although he hadn’t managed to win over all of the Dark Clan, securing a part of them was still a success.
“However, Fang Heng, we had discussed this before, and the evacuation plan you mentioned still had many issues that needed to be resolved.”
Standing aside, the Empire priest stepped forward slightly, nodded towards Fang Heng, then looked at him and said in a deep voice, “I believe you have already noticed that most of our Dark Clan have spent their entire lives in the death realm without ever leaving, knowing nothing about the outside world. While the fear in our hearts can be overcome, I worry that after leaving here, we won’t be able to find a suitable place to survive.”
“There’s no need to worry.”
Fang Heng was slightly surprised. The priest actually understood human language?
“We’re already working on establishing a world, one that’s also filled with the aura of death.”
“Oh?”
The priest seemed curious now. She looked at Fang Heng and continued, “I’ve heard some rumors recently, saying that during your assistance with dealing with the Disaster creatures, you’ve been collecting things from the death realm. Could it be that those items are meant for the world you’re creating?”
“Yes. It’s very difficult to alter a normal world, so we plan to use the power of the death realm. We’ll transport items imbued with the aura of the death realm into this new world, transforming it to make it more suitable for the Dark Clan’s survival.”
The priest’s gaze grew intense as she studied Fang Heng.
So, humans had already been planning all of this?
They had already considered taking the Dark Clan out of the death realm?
The priest’s hostility towards Fang Heng grew slightly stronger.
“I hope it will be as you said, that we can transform that world to be more suitable for our Dark Clan to survive. However, there is one thing, Fang Heng, do you know about the soul crystal?”
“Yes, I do.”
soul crystals!
The Dark Clan was different from humans.
They didn’t need food, but they required soul crystals to provide the energy needed for survival. If they were seriously injured, they needed to consume soul crystals to quickly recover and replenish their strength. Without soul crystals, their bodies would gradually deteriorate.
The priest asked, “Aside from our death realm, do you have any other places where you can find soul crystals?”
Fang Heng furrowed his brow.
Indeed, that was an issue.
At least, he had never heard of anything similar to soul crystals in the outside world.
“Fang Heng, we can provide you with some soul crystals, but doing so won’t last for long. The stored soul crystals will eventually be completely consumed, and at that time, my people will also die.”
“Moreover, as far as I know, Underworld crystals will gradually lose their power if stored in other places, and cannot be preserved for long periods of time.”
“One issue is whether the world can be transformed sufficiently for our Dark Clan, and the other is the problem with soul crystals.”
The High Priestess gazed intently at Fang Heng and said, “Until you have completely resolved these two issues, as the priest of the Empire, I will not allow our people to risk going to the New World.”
Just as her words fell, a game hint appeared in Fang Heng’s vision.
[Hint: The player has triggered the mission-The Empire’s Concerns.]
Mission name: You issued an invitation to the Empire, inviting them to join the migration, but the Empire is concerned and has raised questions.
Mission requirement 1: Choose a world and transform it to ensure that the world the Dark Clan is migrating to reaches a certain average concentration of the aura of the death realm (Target: 20,000, current selected world death realm aura concentration: 329).
Mission requirement 2: Attempt to find a stable source of Underworld crystals to supply the Dark Clan’s new world for their relocation.
Mission reward: Empire’s trust; Vanni Empire’s assistance in executing the Dark Clan’s migration plan.
Fang Heng quickly scanned the mission details, silently calculating in his mind.
Currently, the concentration of the death realm was still far off from the target.
This part of the problem wasn’t too difficult.
At that moment, the Holy Court’s offensive suddenly stopped for some unknown reason. Regardless of the cause, it had at least given them a chance to catch their breath.
Taking advantage of this, they urgently transported various items from the death realm back to the Vampire Apocalypse.
The efficiency of increasing the world’s concentration wouldn’t be too slow.
Moreover, with the recent skill upgrades, the vampires could now move around in the death realm. Having them assist with transporting some of the materials wasn’t a problem.
However, the second mission was a bit troublesome.
As far as Fang Heng knew, the Underworld crystals were only found in the death realm. Perhaps they could be cultivated in the newly created death realm environment…
He’d need to find Qiu Yaokang as soon as possible to discuss it and see if he could figure out a way to cultivate them.
“Understood, I’ll move as quickly as I can.”
“Good. If you can meet these two conditions, I believe a group of our people will be willing to enter that world you mentioned.”
Renee looked at Fang Heng and nodded, saying, “I’m sorry, but I can’t assist you. I will lead the Empire’s army to continue resisting the invasion of the Disaster. I believe we still have the strength to fight. This is our world, and we must protect it, even if it means fighting to the very last moment.”
…
After bidding farewell to the camp, Fang Heng controlled the Bone Dragon and immediately headed back to the Dark Clan’s teleportation mountain range.
“Brother Fang!”
Ji Xiaobo saw the Bone Dragon from a distance, raising both hands to signal to Fang Heng. As soon as the Bone Dragon landed, he rushed over, “Brother Fang, you’re awake? I went to look for you just now, but they told me you and Commander Renee had gone out. They didn’t know when you’d be back. I left you a note, are you alright?”
“Yeah, I’ve recovered. I just went to discuss some matters with the Vanni Empire.”
Fang Heng replied as he leaped off the Bone Dragon’s back and quickly scanned the surroundings.
Since his last unconscious episode, the Bone Dragon Knight Legion he had recruited had continued to work on increasing their contribution points, under the arrangement of Ji Xiaobo and Kotal, relying on the Dark Clan’s War Knights to grind contributions.
On the way back, Fang Heng had checked the progress, and a large amount of war points had already accumulated.
Fang Heng asked, “Has anything major happened during the past three days while I was unconscious?”
“It’s been alright, nothing big happened. The Holy Court has been strange; ever since they pulled back their defenses, they haven’t come out again. The areas we lost to them have mostly been recaptured.”
“Currently, the undead council still has no clue what the Holy Court is planning, but they’ve sent people to keep an eye on them. Some rumors are going around that the Holy Court is facing some major problems and can’t afford to deal with us.”
Ji Xiaobo chuckled, “Don’t know if it’s true, but it doesn’t matter. The situation is really favorable for us now. With the Holy Court not causing us any trouble, we can fully focus on transporting materials to the Vampire World without any delays.”
