Chapter 1929 The Scribe

Chapter 1929 The Scribe

"Debbie Mattis." Debbie nodded slightly towards Fang Heng. "I am the legacy scribe of the Enkama Empire's royal family Library, and I've been tasked to assist both of you."

"Brother Fang, when I arrived, I went straight to the royal family Library of the Enkama Empire. With her help, I found relevant information and immediately observed something peculiar, prompting me to come here."

Ji Xiaobo explained as he led Fang Heng into the main hall. "After checking, I found that the magic array here was indeed established a long time ago. It has undergone multiple modifications and reconstructions since then. The Mork Temple can gather some of the necromancy energy emanating from underground, but aside from that, it doesn't seem to serve any other purpose."

Fang Heng nodded at Debbie and entered the hall.

The floor of the hall was adorned with special alchemy magic array runes.

Fang Heng squatted down again to examine them closely.

Indeed, as Ji Xiaobo had mentioned, the alchemy magic array likely gathered strength, slowly drawing the necromancy energy from the earth to aid in the cultivation of necromancy within the Mork Temple.

However, something was peculiar.

The power of the undead was drawn from the earth.

So where did the source of the undead strength slowly seeping out from the ground originate?

"Brother Fang, did you find anything?" Ji Xiaobo looked at Fang Heng expectantly, then scratched his head and glanced at Debbie.

He wished to ask Fang Heng about the great holy sword, contemplating whether Fang Heng should try wielding it to see if any reactions occurred. With an outsider present, Ji Xiaobo hesitated.

Fang Heng stood up and inquired, "Mock's secret engravings, where are they? What are these secret engravings for?"

Ji Xiaobo, unfamiliar with the concept of secret engravings, was taken aback. "Secret engravings? What is the secret engravings?"

"Are you referring to Mock's secret engravings?" Debbie, who had heard attentively, nodded and said, "Mock's secret engravings were departed behind from ancient times. They possess special energy that resonates with the Mork Temple, facilitating the cultivation of necromancy. Records indicate that there are twelve secret engravings in the world."

A total of twelve...

Did Fang Heng need to collect all twelve secret engravings to unravel the mysteries?

Considering the two he had acquired earlier and the one brought by Feudal Lord Dani, there were only three.

Fang Heng furrowed his brow and acquired one of the secret engravings from his backpack.

Faint ripples appeared on the secret engravings.

A game hint flashed across Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: Player Mock's secret engravings resonate with the Mork Temple. The player will receive an additional 20% experience points bonus when cultivating necromancy in the Mork Temple (only for high-tier and below necromancy).]

"Mock's secret engravings?"

Upon seeing the secret engraving in Fang Heng's hand, Debbie's eyes displayed a hint of surprise.

Fang Heng tried to place the secret engraving in his hand, but there was no other reaction.

During this trial, a vampire flew into the hall from outside.

The vampire, upon reaching Fang Heng, reverted to its human form, knelt on one knee, and reported, "Your Majesty, we've discovered that several Holy Court legions are gathering in the direction of the Mork Temple. They are likely coming for you."

Fang Heng's pupils contracted.

They did not come early or late, but after they arrived, the Holy Court also rushed overhastily.

Something was amiss.

"Brother Fang!" Ji Xiaobo exclaimed with excitement. "See, there is indeed something wrong with this place! Perfect, when the Holy Court arrives, let's capture a few alive and interrogate them!"

Fang Heng considered it and discovered the feasibility of this plan to be mediocre.

Members of the Holy Court were known for their stubbornness.

Extracting information from them wasn't an easy task. Moreover, even normal Holy Court teams might be privy to the secrets of the Mork Temple.

Fang Heng raised his head and looked up at the top of the temple.

The interior of the Mork Temple was decorated with many bumpy areas, and at a glance, there were many places suitable for hiding.

"You guys go ahead with your people. I'll stay here."

"Huh?" Ji Xiaobo expressed surprise. "Brother Fang, let me stay too. I can offer ideas."

"No need. I have a hidden skill. Let me lurk in the shadows and observe what tricks they play. It might not be good if you stay." Fang Heng glanced at Debbie. "The Holy Court's people will arrive soon. You all leave with the Mork Temple guards. No need to confront the Holy Court."

Debbie nodded and gestured for the guards to prepare for departure.

"Alright, then."

"Brother Fang, do you think we should bring the great holy sword over to take a look?" Ji Xiaobo whispered after Debbie and the guards left. "What if something here can be triggered?"

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

Indeed, staying here alone at the moment didn't reveal anything, and bringing the great holy sword over might also have led to a chance of making a special discovery.

However, the great holy sword couldn't be placed in the backpack, and taking it over hastily posed risks.

"I understand. You take them away first, and be cautious."

"Okay, Brother Fang, you be careful too."

After Ji Xiaobo and the others left, Fang Heng lightly leaped up, quickly transforming into a bat form and flying to a corner of the Mork Temple. He hung upside down on the ceiling, concealing his aura.

Based on the information from the vampires, it seemed that only a small squad from the Holy Court had come this time.

They weren't particularly strong.

Was the Mork Temple the Holy Court's target?

If so, why send only a small squad?

Fang Heng waited in place for over ten minutes. Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from outside.

Yoel, the captain of the Holy Court knights, led his team into the temple hall.

Yoel swiftly scanned the temple hall.

When the team invaded the temple, they did not encounter resistance from the Enkama Empire.

It appeared they had detected the team's movements in advance and evacuated.

As a precaution, Yoel ordered his men to inspect the hall thoroughly.

"Check it! Be thorough!"

"Yes!"

The Holy Court team meticulously inspected the entire temple interior.

Fang Heng's figure slowly disappeared into a secondary space projection, avoiding the Holy Court's inspection. After the inspection, he reappeared and concealed himself in the shadows in the corner of the hall, silently observing the Holy Court team.

After the inspection, the Holy Court team didn't take immediate action. They remained in the temple for a short rest.

Soon, the second and third squads reached and gathered in the temple.

"Yoel."

Another team leader from the Holy Court greeted Yoel with a wave. "You're here so quickly. Has the plan changed?"

"Yes, I heard that the Jones Kingdom is facing significant issues. Army Commander Miles's team can't come to reinforce, so the operation has been expedited."
