A fortress built along the contours of a mountain range.
Several Ice Castle soldiers wearing cyan armor led the way.
"Hohenlohe, the owner of Ice Castle, is a serious elder. I have received several long-term tasks related to him in the past. After successfully completing them, my friendship with him increased to a certain level, and then I was able to meet him.
.”
Milani briefly introduced the situation of Ice Castle to Fang Heng.
Behind the two of them, several undead skeleton elites summoned by Fang Heng dragged the packed iron boxes with them.
Under the leadership of the Ice Castle soldiers, Fang Heng and the two entered the hall.
The fortress steward got the news in advance and came over.
"Ms. Milani, the master of the house is resting in the study now. As you know, he prefers to be alone in the afternoon. If it's not something urgent, it's best not to disturb him."
Milani looked at Fang Heng beside her.
Fang Heng took half a step forward and said, "I am Fang Heng. I found something in the Ice Prison before. I heard rumors outside that the city lord Hohenlohe is looking for it."
"If you are referring to the redemption materials searched from the Ice Prison, then just give them to me directly."
The housekeeper noticed a few boxes behind Fang Heng and waved his hand.
Several Ice Castle soldiers stepped forward and took the box from the undead skeleton.
The box is relatively heavy and tied tightly with ropes.
After spending some effort to open the box, several soldiers' eyes were suddenly shaken and they let out small exclamations.
"High-level ice crystal!"
Such crystal clear soul ice crystals sparkling with frosty luster.
It is definitely a super grade soul ice crystal!
And there’s a box full of it!
Are they all taken from the Ice Prison?
When the housekeeper saw this scene, his face showed surprise and he looked at Fang Heng.
Is this the person trapped in the Ice Castle?
How could someone be unaffected by the violent aura during the closed period of the Ice Prison, and even be able to obtain so many high-level crystals?
How did you do it!
If so many crystals spread outside, it will definitely cause the outside world to go crazy.
The butler's attitude immediately improved a lot, and he nodded to Fang Heng.
"Please rest here for a while. After the crystals are counted, the city lord will meet you in person."
With that said, the housekeeper signaled the guards to start counting, and at the same time, the soldiers opened another box.
After opening the box, everyone was stunned when they saw the frozen corpse lying inside.
That is……
Corpses?
What the hell is this corpse? What are you doing here?
The soldiers were a little confused.
The steward stared closely at the corpse.
After confirming the golden ring on the skeleton's hand, the steward's eyes changed from confusion to surprise, and finally disbelief.
He looked back at Fang Heng and confirmed to Fang Heng: "Have you ever been to the source of the Yin Veins?"
"Um."
Fang Heng nodded slightly.
Someone actually went to that place!
And they also brought out the remains of the Lord’s ancestors!?
The steward was extremely shocked. He changed his previous attitude and bowed respectfully towards Fang Heng, saying, "Please follow me, Mr. Fang Heng. I will take you to see the Lord of the City immediately."
When Milani saw this, she couldn't help but sigh.
She was also shocked when she saw the corpse just now.
I originally thought that several boxes contained the highest-grade soul ice crystals, but I didn’t expect that Fang Heng even obtained the corpse of the castle owner?
No wonder the attitude of management has changed so much.
In fact, the friendship between him and the city lord was quite good. The steward's attitude towards her was respectful on the surface, but still concealed a bit of arrogance.
Fang Heng and Milani followed the steward to the third floor.
The steward first entered the study to report and then exited, nodding respectfully to the two of them.
"The city lord is already waiting for you two, please."
Fang Heng walked into the house first.
The city lord Hohenlohe is hundreds of years old. He is wearing blue armor from head to toe. He is sitting at the desk, playing with the golden ring he just took off from the remains in his hand, with memories flowing in his eyes.
"The remains of my ancestors left in the Ice Prison have always been my father's heartache. I owe you a favor for bringing them back."
Lord Hohenlohe put the gold ring back on the table and stretched out his hand to signal Fang Heng and the others to sit down.
"Please sit down and tell me in detail, where did you find the remains? What did you find?"
Fang Heng briefly told what happened in the Ice Prison.
When Hohenlohe heard about the Yin Vein Center and the sacred sword, his expression changed somewhat obviously.
After finishing the narration, Fang Heng looked at Hohenlohe who was lost in thought and asked: "Lord City Lord, do you know what the source of the Yin vein is? Is it a transmission channel to another world?"
"Well, your judgment is the same as our guess."
Hohenlohe nodded and explained: "The source of the Yin Vein is probably a passage to another world. A long time ago, the Holy Court discovered this world before us. After they discovered the passage, they realized the threat of the passage, so they thought
The channel must be completely cut off.”
"Undead scholars then came to this world, and the breath leaked from the source of the Yin veins was very useful for the study of necromancy."
"The seniors of necromancy discovered the conspiracy of the Holy Court and spent a huge price to prevent them from cutting off the passage. My ancestor was one of them. For this, he did not hesitate to pay with his life."
Milani also knew about the rumors about Yin Meridian and said: "Fortunately, we succeeded."
Hohenlohe glanced at Milani, shook his head and said: "No, on the contrary, we failed."
What?
Milani and Fang Heng were both stunned.
"The Holy Court reached the depths of the Yin Vein one step ahead of us and began to seal and destroy the source channel of the Yin Vein. The undead scholars wanted to stop their destruction, so they started a fierce battle in the underground primitive maze. From the mouths of the wounded who were transferred
I learned that they failed and many people died among them, including my ancestors."
Hohenlohe paused as he spoke, then continued: "But the people from the Holy Court didn't succeed either."
"The cave exploded, and with the collapse of the original underground labyrinth, everything at that time was annihilated deep in the Yin Veins."
"Just after the explosion, the Yin Vein aura completely exploded, and the undead creatures that originally lived nearby also experienced special changes."
"Just like the ice skeletons and ice resentful spirits you have seen in the Ice Prison, there is also the Yin vein aura spreading in the Ice Prison."
Fang Heng frowned as he listened to Hohenlohe's words.
Combining the crack and the giant holy sword he saw from the source of the Yin Vein, an idea came to his mind.
Could it be that the people in the Holy Court originally wanted to use the sacred sword to completely destroy the passage.
Unexpectedly, the channel strength was misestimated.
With a slash of the sword, the passage was not destroyed, but a gap was revealed.
A large amount of Yin Vein and Yin Vein aura leaked from the cracks, and even the Holy Court team was affected and wiped out?
