Fang Heng nodded slightly, and at the same time a line of game hint appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player has triggered mission-The God That Cannot Be Fused.]
Mission name: The God That Cannot Be Fused.
Mission difficulty: SS.
Mission description: You realize that there is a special force within your body that is interfering with your inheritance of divine power. Go to Sea God Island, where you may gain enlightenment.
Mission requirements: Go to Sea God Island and find the source of the obstruction to the inheritance of divine power.
Mission reward: ???
The mission had been triggered.
It was most likely positive guidance.
Having a mission objective was enough.
Fang Heng immediately relaxed a little and asked, "Where is Sea God Island?"
"There is more than one Sea God Island. They are scattered across the Black Sea World and belong to different islands of faith. The nearest one is about a day’s journey from us. However, it is located in a sea area where three different empires intersect. Our Empire does not have good relations with the other two empires, and we are even at war with one of them, the Lyman Empire. If we want to go there, we must be extremely careful."
"Oh? At war?"
Fang Heng’s eyes narrowed as he listened, and he began to calculate.
That was good news.
Although the follow-up mission line had not yet been triggered, based on past game logic, it would likely require further strengthening of the fleet’s overall power.
It would just be about expanding the fleet’s size, level, and reputation.
If they ran into an enemy Empire, they could take the opportunity to farm experience.
They could farm the Empire’s favorability, missions, and team reputation all at once.
As they were speaking, the two soldiers leading the way turned back and said, "The two of you, the armory has arrived."
Fang Heng raised his head.
Unknowingly, they had already arrived at the entrance of the armory.
"Let’s go and take a look," Fang Heng said as he pushed the door open and walked in.
Right.
They could also complete the mission of clearing the Skeleton Pirates along the way.
...
The Empire’s external military supply office was very simple.
A few tables and some documents.
The officer in charge was sitting in a chair. Seeing Fang Heng and the other person enter, he stood up and said, "Welcome. Congratulations on becoming members of the Empire Chamber of Commerce. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The officer was from Princess Willow’s faction, and because he knew Fang Heng’s identity, his attitude was relatively friendly. He carefully introduced the situation of the military supply office.
Fang Heng also opened the mission panel to check the description.
After joining the Empire Chamber of Commerce, they could access internal Empire missions. Besides collecting various materials, there were also many missions involving interactions with hostile imperial forces.
For example, gathering intelligence or directly engaging and defeating enemy Empire ships.
In fact, most chambers of commerce would not directly participate in such dangerous missions.
At most, they would be forcibly conscripted in emergencies to transport supplies to the front lines.
"Here are all the available public missions. If you need anything, you can register with me. Your team level is still low, so you can generally only accept one mission at a time."
The officer winked at Fang Heng and said, "But since you are under Princess Willow, you can accept up to three missions at the same time."
"Thank you."
Fang Heng took the stack of documents and quickly flipped through them.
Most of the earlier missions were normal, mainly collecting resources that the Empire currently needed.
These did not need to be rushed.
He continued flipping.
The further back he went, the greater the difficulty of the missions became.
Most were related to direct warfare.
Interesting.
Fang Heng silently praised in his heart and quickly pulled out several documents from the stack and handed them to the officer. "I’ll take these missions."
"So quickly? You don’t want to reconsider? Failing missions will deduct Empire points..."
The officer took the documents, looked at them, and immediately showed a surprised expression. He looked up at Fang Heng and asked again, "You are sure you want these three missions?"
"Yes."
The officer became serious again and reminded him, "If you fail, Empire points will be deducted. If your points drop too low, your membership in the Empire Chamber of Commerce will be revoked."
"I understand."
"Very well. Thank you for your support of the imperial army."
The officer nodded solemnly and quickly stamped the documents before handing them back. "Please sign the contract here."
[Hint: The player’s team accepted mission-Clear the Pirate Fleet.]
[Hint: The player’s team accepted mission-Transport Supplies to the Front Line.]
[Hint: The player’s team accepted mission-Territorial Disputes in the Sea Region.]
"Let’s go," Fang Heng quickly signed the documents and turned to Meng Qingyu, saying, "Prepare to set off immediately for Blue Island."
So fast?
Meng Qingyu’s heart skipped a beat, then he nodded, "Yes! I’ll notify the fleet immediately."
Wait, something’s wrong.
After walking a few steps forward, Meng Qingyu suddenly froze.
Their ships were still being detained.
...
Harbor area.
Tensions between the Seth Chamber of Commerce and Casbin had escalated into a serious internal conflict. The situation worsened until Duke Windy sent people to temporarily suppress both sides.
Casbin was suppressing his frustration.
So the problem was not with the Seth Chamber of Commerce?
Was the Cao Ge Chamber of Commerce trusted by His Majesty because they had developed sapphire alchemy puppets?
But if that was the case, who had stolen the sapphire mine last night?
D*mn it!
Casbin realized his troubles were growing.
He had heard that His Majesty was very interested in alchemy puppets, and the sapphire crystals were raw materials for them.
And the loss had happened under his watch!
He had no way to explain it at all.
Retrieve it? He did not even know how it was stolen, let alone how to recover it.
The Seth Chamber of Commerce was also furious.
After all that trouble, the Cao Ge Chamber of Commerce had already joined the Empire Chamber of Commerce in advance.
They had gained nothing and were almost framed by Casbin.
Claiming they had stolen the sapphire mine at night?
Casbin’s stupidity made no sense; they had no reason to do that.
Seth himself had arrived and was staring at Casbin from a distance.
He increasingly believed that everything was Casbin’s disguise.
Only Casbin could have silently moved such a large amount of sapphire ore.
No one else!
Both sides were forcibly separated by Duke Windy’s men, standing apart to cool down.
Casbin felt Seth’s gaze behind him and glared back fiercely.
No!
He could not waste any more time.
Casbin could already sense that the officials leading the investigation had begun to suspect him.
Now all that was missing was evidence.
He did not doubt their professionalism.
If they still could not find the culprit in a few days, he might very well become the scapegoat before the truth was found.
