"Really..."
Fang Heng stroked his chin.
It seemed that the people on the island were affected by some kind of psychic power.
Fang Heng asked, "What about the divine authority we are looking for? What was that?"
"I was not very clear. I had only heard that the thing was of a very high level, even more rare than most god statues."
"Your Majesty, I had heard that the divine authority was a form of incompletely condensed divine power. It could be used to upgrade god statues, repair damaged gods, and temporarily greatly enhance the power of a god statue. It was said that it could even be recharged and used repeatedly."
Meng Qingyu explained from the side, then frowned slightly, his tone carrying some doubt. "Come to think of it, I had never heard of the divine authority existing on Whispering Island."
"Mm, it seemed Sea God Island had more complete information than we. Let’s go. We will head there first and take a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The merchant ship set sail again.
Fang Heng had originally planned to summon the Bone Dragon after leaving Sea God Island’s territorial waters, but before they had gone far, a sailor rushed over.
"Report, captain. We have received a message from the Oz Empire."
"What did the Empire say?"
"Princess Willow was leading seven warships and was heading toward us. It was estimated they would reach Sea God Island in ten minutes. They requested we stop briefly and rendezvous with them."
"Hm? Princess Willow?"
Fang Heng was slightly surprised and looked into the distance.
Several dark dots were gradually appearing on the sea horizon.
It really was Princess Willow’s fleet.
Strange.
Why had they come?
Cao Ge was also puzzled, "Mr. Fang, what should we do?"
"Stop. Let’s see what they wanted."
Fang Heng signaled for the ship to halt temporarily.
Soon, Princess Willow’s fleet of the Oz Empire drew close and met with Fang Heng’s merchant ship.
Fang Heng and the others, together with Cao Ge and his companion, boarded the flagship of the imperial fleet to meet the princess.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Willow studied Fang Heng carefully.
This young man had once again surprised her greatly.
The alchemy puppet had only been one of his cards.
How many more abilities had he not revealed?
Willow was somewhat glad she had set out at full speed early in the morning; she might have missed him again.
"Where are you in such a hurry to go?"
"To Whispering Island. We had accepted a mission from Sea God Island."
Willow frowned and looked back toward Sea God Island, her eyes filled with deep caution, "You have been to Sea God Island? They did not make things difficult for you?"
Fang Heng said with a smile, "Sea God Island was not exactly friendly."
"Whispering Island is extremely dangerous. You should not go there."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. But we still need to go. We are confident we can complete Sea God Island’s mission."
"For gods?" Willow looked at him. "The god they granted you was not enough, so you came to Sea God Island to look for another?"
Fang Heng smiled without answering, which was an implicit confirmation.
"So Sea God Island had promised you a high-tier god statue."
Willow shook her head slightly. "Fang Heng, come back with me first. There were things you did not understand. Sea God Island and the Lyman Empire were deeply connected. The mission they gave you was impossible to complete. They only wanted to weaken you through this. Whispering Island was extremely dangerous. If you went there rashly, you would only hurt yourselves."
"Thank you again for your concern, Your Highness. We are confident in our strength."
"Arrogant!"
Willow’s personal guard, Felix, stepped forward in anger, glaring at Fang Heng.
Willow raised her hand to stop him and looked at Fang Heng again, "You do not understand the relationship between Sea God Island and the Lyman Empire. I can guarantee that even if you really obtained the god authority, Sea God Island would not give you the promised god statue."
Cao Ge and the others’ expressions changed slightly.
"What about this?" Willow continued, "Come back with me. I will introduce you to someone reliable who can guide you to a suitable god statue."
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.
That was another option.
Not impossible.
"Thank you again. However, I still want to try. I will go to Whispering Island. If I fail, I will return then."
The guards were almost amused by his words.
He did not want to give up Sea God Island’s mission, and he also did not want to refuse the princess’s offer.
Willow frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Then I have one condition. I will go with you to Whispering Island."
"Your Highness."
The guards on both sides immediately objected.
Fang Heng could not persuade her, so he let it go.
How could Princess Willow go to such a dangerous place with them?
"No need to say more," Princess Willow raised her hand, stopping her subordinates from continuing. "I will not land on the island. When we arrive there, we will anchor at the periphery of Whispering Island."
Before coming, Princess Willow had already learned from the soldiers of Pulau Island that Fang Heng possessed terrifying undead summoning abilities. On one hand, she wanted to witness it with her own eyes; on the other hand, she was worried that Fang Heng might encounter trouble on the way, so following him would make her feel more at ease.
Princess Willow looked at Fang Heng and asked, "Fang Heng, do you accept this?"
"Deal."
Fang Heng was most afraid that Princess Willow would insist on going ashore at Whispering Island with them. If that happened, he would have to split his attention to take care of her. Since that concern was gone, bringing them along to Whispering Island was not a problem.
"Time is urgent. Let’s set off immediately."
After saying that, Fang Heng turned around and flew toward the bow of the ship, silently calculating in his mind.
Princess Willow had brought seven large warships in one go. If he brought them along...
Thirty Bone Dragons should be about right.
