"What are you bast * rds trying to do?"
As soon as Nymph's voice trailed off, the dwarf raised its axe and pointed it at Hanks. Meanwhile, Molly silently pulled out an arrow that she had plucked from the corpses of the other monsters and aimed it at the enemy in front of her. No matter who they were, the fact that they dared to bring an item filled with the undead aura to the Snow Summit was enough to chase them out of this place.
"W-We don't know anything!"
Facing this sudden change, the expressions of Hex and the others changed drastically. Although he didn't like Hayne and the others, this didn't mean that he was willing to become enemies with races like the Elves and Dwarves. Although these races didn't care about worldly affairs, their status in this continent was important. Even if these Dwarves tied him up and roasted him, perhaps the Fire Country would only send people to condemn them and wouldn't even punish the Dwarves. Apart from sending troops to deal with this race that was almost isolated from the rest of the world, there was no other way to punish them.
And of course, it was impossible to send troops directly because he wasn't a big shot in the Fire Country.
That was why at this moment, Hanks decisively chose to cower. He didn't think that Mister would use such a clumsy method to frame him. And if there really was an undead item inside, even if he completed the mission, he would still be in big trouble!
"W-We really don't know anything. We only accepted the mission and came here to place the item on the Storm Platform of the Snow Summit …"
"So how do you confirm that your mission has been completed?"
"The other party said that as long as we arrive at the destination and open the box, it will automatically show that the mission has been completed …"
Hanks said and couldn't help but shudder. It was apparent that he had also discovered the problem. If there really was an undead item inside, perhaps their souls would be snatched away the instant they opened the box and they would die instantly … After all, if there was something wrong with this thing, it wouldn't be a good choice to let them live! Destroying the evidence after completing the mission … This wasn't the first time Hanks heard of such things!
"Who is the person who commissioned you?"
At this moment, not only did Fangzheng realize that something was amiss, but Fina also came over and asked curiously.
"It's … It's Haifa!"
"That's impossible!"
Upon receiving this answer, Fina and the others were even more shocked.
"Our client is also the Haifa Guild!"
"This is impossible!"
This time, Hanks and Bolt were dumbfounded. According to the rules of the assessment, a client could only give one commission, not to mention two different commissions at once!
This was against the rules!
"Show me your letters of authorization."
Fangzheng, on the other hand, was very calm. After all, he had been selected through the back door. No matter what, he would definitely pass. Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Hex calmed down and opened the letter of authorization in his pocket. On the other hand, Fina took out her letter of authorization from her backpack and compared it with Hex's. Then, both of them were stunned.
"This … the steel seals are all standard, there's no problem with the seals, and even the handwriting is the same?"
This time, not only Fina, but even Hex was dumbfounded. Apart from the content of the two letters of authorization, everything else, including the stamp, signature, and seal were exactly the same!
"Where did you get this from?"
Fangzheng glanced at the box again. He suspected that this thing was obtained from the White Tower. Even Nimf could detect the hidden undead aura on it. It was impossible for the White Tower to not check the entrusted goods. If not, who would put a time bomb or something like that in the box? Wouldn't they have died for nothing?
"We only got this box from the Haifaris Guild after we arrived here …"
"Didn't the Haifa Guild move away a month ago?"
At this moment, Hayne was also inexplicably surprised.
"Where did you get the goods from?"
"Yes, it was given to us by a person who claimed to be a member of the Haifa Guild. He had the badge and documents of the Haifa Guild. As soon as we arrived, he gave us the box …"
"How about this."
Thinking until here, Fangzheng made a decision.
"Leave this box to me temporarily. After we confirm that the mission has been completed, we will immediately return to the White Tower and let the grand mage there carefully check what is inside. Of course, regarding your mission, I can ask the White Tower and the Order Alliance to make an exception for you to graduate. How about it? "
Fangzheng felt that he still had some influence. If there was really something dangerous in this box, then being able to intercept it could be considered as helping the Order Alliance cover up a huge scandal. After all, if the Order Alliance's assessment mission in the territory of an alien race were to cause trouble, it would be really troublesome.
Of course, for Fangzheng, the biggest reason why he was willing to interfere in this matter was because below the Snow Summit was the Forest of Life. He had close contact with the Elves in the Forest of Life. Although strictly speaking, both parties didn't have any particularly deep feelings, Fangzheng wasn't a guy who would fall out with someone just because he got out of bed and put on pants. Within the scope of his abilities, he was willing to help the Elves stay away from danger.
"This …"
Facing Fangzheng's request, Hanks pondered and finally nodded. After all, even though he was arrogant, he wasn't brainless and wouldn't be that foolish to clash with a Saint Knight in such a place. Moreover, the root of the problem was most likely on his side.
"Alright, Mr. Fangzheng."
Hanks said and handed over the box in his hand.
"Be careful!"
At this moment, Nimf's eyes glinted and the bracelet on her wrist shattered instantly. Then, a transparent magical barrier enveloped Fangzheng and Hanks. This sudden change startled Hanks and he subconsciously retracted his right hand that was holding onto the box. But at this moment, a figure emerged out of thin air and grabbed the box in Hanks's hand!
So fast!
Looking at this mysterious figure, Fangzheng was astonished. At this moment, the figure crashed head-on into Nimf's magical barrier and the magical barrier shattered instantly like glass. On the other hand, the figure continued to move forward.
Unsure if it was a coincidence or luck, due to the sudden appearance of the magical barrier, Hanks subconsciously retracted his right hand that was holding onto the box, which prevented the figure from grabbing it.
"Who's there!"
At this moment, Fangzheng let out a snarl and expanded his time domain instantly, enveloping the figure within. Shortly after, the air and time froze and came to a halt. However, the figure only paused for a moment under the mighty power of time. Then, Fangzheng felt as though the figure was like a wild horse that broke free of its reins and broke free from his time restriction!
But this wasn't the end!
"— — —!"
The moment he sensed that something was amiss, Fangzheng didn't hesitate to release his dragon's might. At the same time, a light flashed in his hand, and the Vampiric Greatsword appeared in his hand. With a whistling sound, it slashed at the looming, illusory shadow.
The dragon's prestige once again displayed its powerful dominance. Under the suppression of the dragon's prestige, the figure swayed abruptly and lost its balance. At the same time, the Vampiric Greatsword in Fangzheng's hand slashed down with a silver beam.
Clang!
