Nightmare Card House

"Mr. Fang Tian, ​​I heard that your research is completed, but I didn't have time to say congratulations."

Artoli was full of compliments when he came in. He thought Fang Tian was tinkering with things related to alchemy. After all, he was not the only one who came to Fang Tian during these times, and the apprentices in the alchemy workshop were also keeping a close eye on Fang Tian. tight.

In fact, Artoli even thought that the two magic towers in Notting City were the work of Fang Tian Alchemy.

"It's just a little enlightenment, not a big breakthrough." Fang Tian waved his hand, brought the topic back, and asked: "Artoli, I heard that you are looking for me for something, and you are in a hurry. It is with the Holy Court. Is it relevant?”

"Yes, Mr. Fang Tian."

Now that Adila Chamber of Commerce and Notting City are both prospering and losing, Artoli stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "The people in the Holy Court are extremely overbearing and restrict the passage of the trade area. Most of our supplies before were It is transported to the port city through that trade road, and then bulk goods are sent to various parts of the empire through the transportation of the port city. Now that passage is blocked by the people of the Holy Court, and our supplies have been backlogged in the city for several days. "

Fang Tian hummed slightly, he had just learned something about this from Pate.

The trade route was destroyed, and Notting City suffered a great loss, but they were not the only ones who suffered losses. Even other chambers of commerce would transport some supplies to and from the city. After all, Notting City was undergoing great construction during this period, coupled with the beast tide. , many black market merchants and mercenaries will get involved.

"Have you negotiated with them? How have other chambers of commerce responded?"

"It's not just my family, many chambers of commerce have negotiated with the Holy Court." Speaking of this, Artoli was a little indignant, with a mocking look on his face, and said, "What else are you talking about for our safety and protection? We are not attacked by the undead, so we temporarily blocked the business road."

"Don't you give face to anyone? Including those chambers of commerce that cooperate with Lord Versailles?"

Lord Versailles also cooperated with some chambers of commerce, and even secretly controlled several chambers of commerce. These were almost open secrets.

"Yes, they are very tough. Lord Versailles seems to have backed down after negotiations."

Fang Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Holy Court is really arrogant and domineering, no wonder so many people are unhappy with them.

Should we directly fall out with the Holy Court at this time? Come hard?

Fang Tian thought secretly.

Since the Holy Court came for the desolate land outside the city, there must be great conflicts between the two parties.

Originally, Fang Tian just wanted to find a remote place to hide and study the desolate land secretly. He didn't expect that the Holy Court's sense of smell was so sensitive that he found it so quickly.

To be on the safe side, let’s test the Holy Court’s reaction and their strength first.

If the person coming is very weak, then simply slap him to death. If he can't be killed with one slap, then think of other ways.

Speaking of which, the desolate land had not been taken care of for some time. Fang Tian vaguely felt that there were some strange changes in the desolate land. It was probably the Holy Court's fault there.

It’s also time to take a look at the specific situation there.

Thinking that Fang Tian had already made a decision, he stood up and said: "Artoli, prepare a batch of goods. We will set off in two hours. I will personally go see the district bishop of the Divine Court."

Artoli was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that Fang Tian was ready to take action, so he immediately raised his hands and said, "Yes, Mr. Fang Tian!"

Just when Artoli was about to go down and tell his men to do things, a soldier came up quickly and reported: "Lord Fang Tian, ​​Bishop Noelt and a group of holy knights from the Holy Court came to meet His Highness Bray."

Fang Tian was only surprised and looked at Pate who was standing aside.

Holy Court? Zonal bishop?

That's strange. Didn't it say that the people in the Holy Court were all in the barren land sealed off in the swamp area? Why did you come to this city suddenly?

Peter was also confused.

Hey, could it be that they found some loophole in that desolate land and came after me?

Fang Tian frowned secretly. He thought he was not very lucky and couldn't help but start thinking about the worst case scenario.

"Tch, just bring them to your door." After thinking about it, Fang Tian nodded and waved to the soldier: "Take them to the conference room first, we will come back later."

After the soldiers left, Pate quickly reacted. He whispered in Fang Tian's ear: "Mr. Fang Tian, ​​these people are probably here for His Highness Bray's affairs. We need to be prepared to deal with them."

Bray...

They are all dead. That corpse can be used to deceive ordinary people, but it is almost a dream to deceive people in the Holy Court.

When the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover it up with the earth.

Fang Tian waved his hand and said without thinking too much, "Mr. Artoli, if you are not busy, you might as well go with me to meet the people in the Holy Court. We can also talk to them about the foreign trade routes in the desolate land."

…

In the conference hall, Bishop Noelt sat firmly on a chair, picked up the handicap on the table, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and then put it back as it was.

Then, Bishop Noelt sighed, "The two magic towers in the city are really surprising. How did they do it? This kind of magic tower looks like it was made by an expert. Even some of the main cities of the empire cannot Establishment. I didn’t expect to find it in such a fringe city. It’s really surprising.”

In contrast, MacArthur, who was sitting next to him, was obviously a little distracted. He did not answer, and he did not even hear clearly what Bishop Noelt was saying.

"Arthur." Bishop Noelt knocked on the table, attracting Arthur's attention. "I told you not to worry about that. It will make you less focused."

Behind the two bishops, the five paladins looked serious.

"I'm just a little worried. I hope I'm just being too suspicious."

Bishop Noelt felt uncomfortable with Arthur's caution, but he didn't say anything more.

Fang Tian and his group pushed the door open.

Seeing that the leader was Fang Tian, ​​Bishop Noelt frowned slightly and looked at Arthur beside him.

Both of them clearly felt a hint of death from Fang Tian.

"My two guests, His Highness Bray is seriously ill and has been resting in bed for the past few days. It's not convenient for him to see guests now." Fang Tian said, and strode in from outside. His eyes were not covered at all, and he looked directly at Bishop Noelt and MacArthur's faces.

Bishop Noelt clearly sensed the hostility coming from Fang Tian, ​​"May I ask who you are?"

"Let me introduce myself, Fang Tian, ​​the chief magic advisor to His Highness Bray, and an apprentice necromancer." Fang Tian bowed slightly and said with a smile, "I believe you have heard of this before you came here."
