"So I've already said that our workshop is only responsible for research. If there is a problem with the props, you should go to the Northland Chamber of Commerce!"

When Fang Zheng led Tilia and Hecate to the outside of the workshop, he soon heard a young girl's voice coming from the crowd. Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng frowned, then looked inside, and then he saw Kulia with her hands on her hips, staring menacingly at a young man in front of her. The young man had flaming red hair and wore a noble dress with a slightly exotic style. At this moment, he was holding a bag in his hand and negotiating with Kulia with a gloomy face.

"But this is something you have researched, and there are such big problems. Don't you plan to say something?"

“There is no problem with our fertilizer at all!”

Hearing the man's accusation, Kulia snorted coldly and pointed at the man in front of her.

"The Northland Chamber of Commerce has sold so many fertilizers, how come the ones you bought have problems? Even if there really is a problem, it's not our problem. Why should we listen to you? This workshop is protected by the Alchemist Association. You are not allowed to mess around! Otherwise, I will call the guards!"

"You may not realize the seriousness of this matter, young lady."

Hearing Kulia's rebuttal, the man's expression became even colder.

"This incident has had a very bad impact on the land of our Fire Nation. The land that was fertilized has now completely dried up and is completely unable to grow any crops. We hope to invite the inventor of the fertilizer to go to the Fire Nation with us, attend a hearing, and explain in detail the working principle of the fertilizer itself, and at the same time assist us in investigating the truth of the matter."

“No way…”

Hearing this, Nanali beside Kulia was also panicked.

"Is it really that serious? I think I'd better go and have a look..."

"No, Nunnally, you have to listen to me!"

But before Nanali could say anything, Kuria blocked her and then she looked at the man in front of her again.

"If you want us to inspect it, you have to go through the authorities and submit a formal application to the Alchemist Association! Otherwise, no matter what you say, we will not agree!"

"snort!"

Hearing Kulia's answer, the man snorted coldly.

"You don't dare to attend the hearing and are deliberately making excuses here. I think you must be behind this. Someone, take them away!"

"yes!"

Hearing the man's order, the soldiers around him immediately responded and strode towards the two. Seeing the actions of these soldiers, Kulia's face turned pale and she hurriedly pulled Nanali back to the workshop.

"What do you want to do? This workshop is protected by the Alchemist Guild. You are not allowed to do anything stupid!"

Although Kulia warned loudly, the soldiers obviously did not intend to listen to her. They walked forward in silence, and the leading soldier stretched out his hand and wanted to grab the girl in front of him.

"call!!"

At this moment, suddenly, a sword energy flew from the side, cutting a gap between Kulia and the soldier. Then, Fang Zheng strode out with a gloomy face.

"I want to see who dares to rob people here?"

"Mr. Ezio!"

Seeing Fang Zheng appear, Kulia and Nanali couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and seeing him appear, the young man also frowned and looked at Fang Zheng.

"Who are you?"

"I am the owner of this alchemy workshop."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng slowly walked over and glanced at the man.

"Who are you?"

"I am Ruden, the envoy of the Fire Nation Vanir."

The man raised his head triumphantly, put his hands behind his back and looked at Fang Zheng.

"We have received reports from the country that the citizens of our Fire Nation purchased fertilizers sold by the Northland Chamber of Commerce. After using them, the land became barren and could not be cultivated. This has caused great losses to our Fire Nation, so we came here and would like to invite you to go to the Fire Nation Parliament to question us!"

"Question?"

Hearing the words of the man who called himself Luden, Fang Zheng snorted coldly.

"We have no relationship with the Fire Nation and have no interest in going there. Moreover, even if there is a problem with the fertilizer, you should go to the Northern Chamber of Commerce instead of us. Finally...if what you said is true, then you can show us the evidence. Since you said the land is barren, it shouldn't be difficult to bring some soil samples or something like that."

Hearing this, Nanali also reacted. Yes, you said there was something wrong with our fertilizer, so you could have brought some soil for us to study and test, right? Why did you have to come directly to our house to take us away?

"We hope to conduct the test under strict and fair conditions. I'm sorry, but considering the cooperative relationship between your Alchemy Workshop and the Northern Chamber of Commerce, I don't think that bringing the samples to you will yield any results."

"Then there's nothing to say, go away."

As soon as Luden finished speaking, Fang Zheng snorted coldly.

"This is the Holy Land, not a place for people like you from the Fire Country to run wild. Get out of here, or I will be rude to you!"

"I am a special envoy from the Fire Nation. How dare you be so rude to me?! How outrageous!!"

Facing Fang Zheng's order to expel him, Luden also shouted angrily.

"Someone, take him down for me!"

“Yes, sir!!”

Hearing Luden's order, the soldiers around Fang Zheng immediately drew their weapons and pointed them at Fang Zheng. Seeing this, Kulia and Nanali's faces turned pale. Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his fingers.

But someone was faster than him.

"Seal it."

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Hecate, who had been following Fang Zheng in silence, suddenly whispered something, then raised the triangular staff in her hand and gently tapped it on the ground.

“Swish!!”

The next moment, a water-blue seal suddenly appeared, covering everyone! With the appearance of the seal, the soldiers who had been threatening before suddenly became silent as if they were petrified. Even the leaves blown down by the wind around them solidified in the air.

“What, what is this?!”

To Fang Zheng's surprise, the man named Luden was also sealed, but he showed a look of fear on his face. Luden felt that the moment the aqua-blue light shone on him, he lost contact with his body, as if only his head could move, and the rest of his body had completely disappeared!

Oh? This is really interesting.

Looking at the terrified Ruden in front of him, Fang Zheng was also stunned. In fact, Hecate's attack did not surprise him. After all, for the Red World, opening the seal before a fight is already a basic move. However, the reaction of the people in the main world in the seal surprised Fang Zheng. He had just sensed that this man named Ruden had elite-level strength, which was about the same as Conan Knight, and these soldiers surrounding him also had the strength of regular soldiers.

Hecate was a gold-level soul summoning stone. According to this world, she was already a legendary being, possessing the same level of power as the previous Knight Commander Brand Castina. This meant that once the seal was released from Hecate's hands, it was almost equivalent to the realm of a legendary powerhouse. In other words, anyone below the level of a legendary powerhouse would have almost no chance of fighting back!

I just don't know what my seal will look like in the main world?

"You, you...you actually..."

While Fang Zheng was daydreaming, Luden's face had turned pale. He stared at Hecate behind Fang Zheng. He could not imagine that such a little girl was actually a legendary warrior!

"Even if you are a legendary warrior, you cannot kill me. I am the special envoy of Vanriel. If you dare to kill me, you will provoke a dispute between the two countries..."

Facing Luden's roar, Hecate raised the triangular staff in her hand without saying a word. She didn't care about Vanriel or the diplomatic relations between the two countries. For Hecate, if the other party dared to attack her ally, he was already her enemy!

"Wait, Hecate, don't rush into it."

Seeing Hecate about to attack, Fang Zheng hurriedly stopped her. It wasn't that he thought this man couldn't be killed, but Fang Zheng hadn't figured out what was going on yet, and with Kulia and Nanali watching from behind, he couldn't just kill him like that...

It just so happened that Fang Zheng, who had already learned the sixth-ring spell, had also learned "Explore Thoughts" and was worried about not being able to find a test subject. And now... well, this guy who came to his doorstep was just right.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng smiled, then he slowly walked to Luden and whispered a few spells. Soon, a magical light appeared on Fang Zheng's palm, and Luden's face was pale as he saw everything Fang Zheng did.

"You, you can't do this. It's illegal to probe other people's thoughts without permission! I'm going to sue you! You damn bastards...!!"

"Excuse me, then, Mr. Luden."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng placed his right hand, which was emitting magical light, on Luden's forehead. At the same time, Luden, who was originally cursing, suddenly closed his mouth, and then his eyes became blank.

"So……"

Looking at the man in front of him, Fang Zheng spoke leisurely.

"Please answer my questions obediently."
