"What do you bastards want to do?"
As soon as Nymph finished speaking, the Stonehammer Dwarf raised his axe and pointed it at Harks, and Jasmine quietly took out an arrow she had just pulled out from the corpse of another monster from behind her and aimed it at the enemy in front of her. No matter who they were, the fact that these guys dared to bring something full of the breath of the dead to the top of the ice and snow was enough to make them get out of here.
"I-we don't know anything!"
Faced with this sudden change, Hax and others also changed their expressions. Although he disliked Hellion and others, it did not mean that he was willing to make enemies with the elves and dwarves. Although these tribes did not care about worldly affairs, their status on this continent was very important. Even if these dwarves tied him up and roasted him to eat, it was estimated that the Fire Nation would only send people to condemn him, and could not even sanction the dwarves - to deal with this almost isolated race, they had no means to sanction the other party except to send troops directly.
It is naturally impossible to send troops directly, as he is not a big shot in the Fire Nation.
So at this time, Hawks decisively chose to back down. He didn't think that the gentleman would frame him in such a clumsy way. And if there really was some undead item in it, then even if he completed the commission, he would still be in big trouble!
"I, we really don't know anything. We just accepted the commission and came here to put the things on the Storm Platform at the top of the ice and snow..."
"So how do you confirm that your mission has been completed?"
"They said that as long as we arrive at the location and open the box, it will automatically show that the mission is completed..."
At this point, Hakes couldn't help but shudder. He obviously discovered the problem. If there was really some terrible undead item inside, then the moment they opened the box, their souls would be taken away by the other party and they would die directly... After all, if there was really something wrong with this thing, then letting them survive would obviously not be a good choice! Destroying the body after completing the mission... This was not the first time Hakes had heard of such a thing!
"Who is your client?"
At this time, Fang Zheng was not the only one who noticed something was wrong. Fina also came over curiously and asked.
"It's... it's the Haifalis Guild!"
"This is impossible!"
Fina and others were even more surprised to get this answer.
"Our client is also the Haifalis Guild!"
"This is impossible!"
This time, Hakes and Bolt were also stunned. According to the assessment regulations, a client can only give one commission, let alone give two commissions at a time, and they are different commissions!
This is against the rules!
"Take out your power of attorney and have a look."
Fang Zheng was very calm. He was appointed through the backdoor anyway, so he would definitely pass no matter what. After hearing Fang Zheng's words, Hakes calmed down, took out the power of attorney from his arms and opened it. Fina also took out her power of attorney from the backpack beside her, compared it with the other party's, and then both of them were stunned.
"This... the seals are all regular, there is no problem with the stamps, even the handwriting is the same?"
This time, not only Fina, but also Hakes was dumbfounded. Except for the different targets, everything else including the stamp, signature and seal on the two letters of authorization were exactly the same!
"Where did you get this?"
Fang Zheng glanced at the box again. He suspected that this thing was obtained from the White Tower. Even Nymph could detect the hidden aura of the dead on it. It was impossible for the people from the White Tower not to check the entrusted items. Otherwise, if someone put a time bomb in it, wouldn’t everyone’s death be in vain?
"We got this box from the Haifalis Guild only after we arrived here..."
"Didn't the Haifalis Guild move away a month ago?"
At this moment, Hellion was also inexplicably surprised.
"Where did you get the goods from?"
"Yes, it was given to us by a man who claimed to be a member of the Haifalis Guild. He had the emblem and certification documents of the Haifalis Guild. He gave us the box as soon as we arrived there..."
"Let's do this."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng made a decision.
"Give this box to me for safekeeping temporarily. After we confirm that the mission is completed, we will immediately return to the White Tower and have the archmage there carefully examine what is inside. Of course, regarding your mission, I can let the White Tower talk to the Order Alliance and let you graduate as an exception. How do you think?"
Fang Zheng felt that he still had some influence. If there was something really dangerous in the box, then being able to intercept it would be considered helping the Order Alliance cover up a big scandal. After all, if the Order Alliance's assessment mission caused any trouble on the alien territory, it would be a real trouble.
Of course, for Fang Zheng, the biggest reason why he was willing to take care of this matter was that below the Ice and Snow Peak was the Forest of Life, and he had close contact with the elves in the Elf Village of the Forest of Life. Although the two sides strictly speaking did not have any particularly deep feelings, Fang Zheng was not the kind of guy who would turn against them just because he got out of bed and put on pants. Within the scope of his ability, he was still willing to help the elves stay away from danger.
"this……"
Facing Fang Zheng's request, Harkes thought about it and finally nodded. After all, although he was arrogant, he was not stupid, and he would not be stupid enough to conflict with a Holy Spirit Knight in such a place - not to mention that the root of the problem was likely on his side.
"Okay, Mr. Founder."
As he spoke, Hakes handed over the box in his hand.
"careful!!"
At this moment, Nymph's eyes suddenly flashed, and then the bracelet on her wrist broke with a snap, and then a transparent magic barrier suddenly enveloped Fang Zheng and Hax. This sudden change startled Hax, and he subconsciously retracted his right hand holding the box. But at this moment, suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared from the side, stretched out his hand and grabbed the box in Hax's hand!
What a fast speed!
Fang Zheng was also shocked to see this strange figure. At this moment, the figure had already crashed into the magic barrier that Nymph had deployed. The magic barrier was like glass, and it shattered directly under the impact of the opponent. The figure continued to move forward without stopping.
It was not known whether it was a coincidence or luck, but due to the sudden appearance of the barrier, Hawks subconsciously withdrew his right hand holding the box, preventing the figure from succeeding.
"Who is it?"
At this moment, Fang Zheng also roared, and then his time domain instantly expanded, immediately wrapping the figure in it. Soon, the air and time began to solidify and stop. However, the figure only paused for a little bit under the great power of time, and then Fang Zheng felt that the other party broke free from his time constraints like a wild horse!
But this is not the end!
“——!!”
The moment he realized that something was wrong, Fang Zheng released his dragon power without hesitation. At the same time, a light flashed in his hand, and the vampire sword appeared in Fang Zheng's hand. With a whistling sound, it slashed towards the looming and illusory shadow.
The pressure from the dragon clan once again showed its powerful dominance at this moment. Under the pressure from the dragon's might, the figure suddenly shook and lost its balance. At the same time, the vampire giant sword in Fang Zheng's hand had already chopped down with a touch of silver light.
"clang!!!"
Along with the crisp sound of collision, Fang Zheng only saw a black shadow flash before his eyes, and then thick red blood burst out in the air, but in just a blink of an eye, the strange and blurry figure quickly retreated like a ghost and disappeared into the shadow of the cliff.
