1278 Do it Again


    “Your Majesty, please listen to my exnation. After our analysis, we unanimously agreed that the so-called shortage of elemental crystals was just Fang Heng’s dying tactic. He was unable to build arge number of mage towers in a short period of time, so he used the excuse ofcking raw materials and offered arge price to buy them from outsiders. Fang Heng was sure that no one else had such resources other than the royal family.”


    “We can find someone to make a deal with Fang Heng. On one hand, we can use useless resources to obtain arge number of military resources from Fang Heng to prepare for the war with Tang Mingyue. On the other hand, Fang Heng has sufficient construction materials and no reason to dy the construction of the mage tower. Once the feudal lord finds out that the ghost tower is ineffective against the gue aura, they will naturally not let Fang Heng off.”


    Tang Wu frowned.


    Thinking about it carefully, this n did not sound like a problem.


    However, he had concerns about the Holy Court.


    The Holy Court had made consecutive mistakes in their judgment of the Land of gue and Fang Heng.


    Tang Wu already didn’t trust them.


    “What you said makes sense, but it’s still inappropriate. I heard that Fang Heng can borrow the power of the undead creatures to build a tower. In just half a day, he built a Tier 2 ghost tower in the city. He does have the ability to build a mage tower. What if the ghost tower really has the ability to dispel the gue? Wouldn’t we be giving the enemy a great gift?”


    “Your Majesty, don’t worry. I guarantee with my life that the ghost tower doesn’t have such an ability!”


    Karkk was very confident. Even the Holy Tower of Light of the Holy Court could only release a defensive barrier to slightly resist the corrosion of the gue aura. How could the ghost tower of the necromancy element dispel the gue aura?


    That was impossible!


    Tang Wu stared at Karkk and didn’t dare to say anything.


    He was already scared of Karkk.


    Several times, the things he said that seemed impossible came true.


    When Karkk saw Tang Wu’s untrusting look, he also thought of what he had said before. He could only change his words and say sincerely, “Your Majesty, making a magic core is extremely time-consuming. Even if he was given arge number of resources, he wouldn’t be able toplete it in a short period of time.”


    Tang Wu nodded.


    This exnation was obviously more reliable. He turned around and looked at Ashton, the president of the Empire Mage Association.


    Ashton nodded and said, “Indeed.”


    In fact, every year, the Empire would secretly deduct a portion of the collected elemental crystal materials, produce a portion of the magic cores, destroy a portion of the materials, and then announce the rest to the public. They had always imed that theycked materials and could not mass produce them. In fact, part of it was to bnce the development of the Mage Association within the Empire.


    In this situation, the Mage Association had already broken away from the Empire’s control. If the Mage Association’s power grew, who would have the final say in the Empire?


    Over the years, a portion of the magic materials had been umted in the warehouse every year. After that, more and more of them had been umted, and even a lot of magic cores had been umted.


    It could not be used, so it was simply thrown into the Empire’s treasury by the previous royal family to collect dust.


    It was naturally not bad to use them to exchange for some strategic materials.


    Tang Wu remembered that the president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian, had mentioned to himst night that he wanted some rare materials. He said that they had the ability to deal with Fang Heng’s sacred tree in the Land of gue.


    Perhaps he could give the materials he traded to the Alchemy Society to try.


    Using the materials provided by Fang Heng to deal with the Land of gue?


    It seemed pretty good.


    Tang Wu narrowed his eyes and asked, “What about the middle and worst n?”


    “Your Majesty, the ghost tower is unable to expel the gue. ording to the information we received from the Tianshu Academy, the gue in the mining area of Lincoln City has indeed disappeared. We have discussed it with the Alchemy Society before, and we all agree that Lord Fang Heng has used some methods to strengthen the original seal in the iron mine.”


    “We just need to send someone to investigate Lincoln City and find out what Fang Heng did in the mine. After we find out everything, we’ll announce it to the public. When Fang Heng’s scheme is exposed, Her Highness Mingyue’s reputation will naturally plummet.”


    Tang Wu naturally understood what he meant by ‘investigate everything’. He frowned and said, “Lincoln City is now under Fang Heng’s control. It’s very dangerous to infiltrate and investigate personally.”


    “Your Majesty, thanks for your trust, I’m willing to personally lead people to expose Fang Heng’s scheme.”


    Tang Wu thought for a moment but did not agree. He continued, “No hurry, let’s talk about the worst n first.”


    “Yes.”


    Karkk nodded confidently and said, “As for the worst n, it’s extremely dangerous. It’s thest resort after the best n fails. Once it gets out, it won’t be good for us. I suggest not using it unless it’s a critical period.”


    Tang Wu nodded and said, “Yes. Everyone here can be trusted. You go first.”


    “We can think of a way topletely release the gue aura.”


    Tang Wu’s pupils shrank.


    “The gue aura was released by the abyssal demon hidden deep in the underground world. Now that its aura has leaked, it means that the lower seal has loosened. Once the seal is opened a little more, the gue aura will leak even more violently. The alchemy magic seal left behind by Fang Heng will definitely not be able to withstand it.”


    Killing intent appeared in Karkk’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, “At that time, we can announce to the public that Fang Heng’s ghost tower not only failed to eliminate the gue but was also the culprit that caused it!”


    The entire hall fell silent.


    Everyone immediately felt a chill in their hearts.


    The Holy Court was actually so ruthless? So unscrupulous?


    If the gue spread again, the entire continent would fall into greater chaos.


    At that time, let alone Fang Heng, could the royal family hold on?


    Could the Empire hold on?


    If this move was used, the oue was very likely to be mutual destruction!


    Karkk also knew how risky thest n was. After saying that, he took half a step back and stood in the crowd.


    “Your Majesty, please make a decision.”


    Tang Wu nced at Karkk.


    “The best n will be carried out together with the middle n. The best n will be left to Ding Shixiu. Karkk, you will personally lead people to investigate Lincoln City. As for the worst n, there is no need to mention it in the future. I want to know everything about Fang Heng. Is that clear?”


    “Yes!”


    “That’s all for now. Don’t leak a word of today’s discussion to the outside world. Everyone, disperse first.”


    “Yes, Your Majesty!”


    ...


    Seeing that everyone had left, Tang Wu signaled with his eyes to Karkk to stay.


    After everyone left, Tang Wu looked at Karkk and said in a deep voice, “Prepare the worst n you mentioned. I will allow you to release a small amount of the gue aura within a controble range. Be careful and don’t leak it.”


    Karkk narrowed his eyes, and his face revealed an expression of ‘as expected’ as he nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I understand. Leave everything to me.”
