Chapter 648, Qilin Road


    The matter of Glenda''s ex-husband is actually over as far as Wu Heng is concerned.


    The reason why I had been chasing after Glenda so far was because I wanted to undo Glenda’s [unfinished business].


    Finding out about the Secret Order and the Cat and Mouse Society was a matter of incidental investigation.


    But I didn’t expect that Sheila Gui would focus on the investigation.


    Xila Gui pondered for a moment and said: "The headquarters sent us some corresponding information."


    Wu Heng said nothing and listened carefully.


    Sheila Gui continued, "According to the intelligence, the Cat and Mouse Society was established earlier than the Secret Order. It was a private force formed by gangs, caravans, and thieves. It was later absorbed by the Secret Order as an affiliated force. ”


    "Through some file records, many members of the Cat and Mouse Society did not know that they were working for the Secret Order, and the people contacted by the Secret Order were also high-level people in charge of the Cat and Mouse Society, such as the one you killed." Magnoro''.


    Last time, when the ex-husband ‘Magnoro’ was interrogated, he could make some guesses in his words.


    As a member of the Secret Order, he is responsible for managing and conveying orders.


    The people in the Cat and Mouse Society below are very complicated. It is normal not to know the Secret Order. It is enough to get commissions according to the tasks.


    "Is there a threat to us?" Wu Heng asked.


    Both he and Sheila Gui belong to Treasure Island.


    They can''t control things in other places, as long as nothing happens here.


    "Treasure Island used to be the territory of pirates, and it may not be possible to penetrate here." Sheila Gui said, and then added, "In the intelligence, there was also a vague mention of another conspiracy of the Secret Order."


    Wu Heng frowned, another conspiracy?


    The Secret Order does nothing all day long, instead thinking about plotting against others.


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Xila Gui seemed to be very satisfied with the other party''s reaction. She smiled slightly and continued: "The Kirin Plan can also be called the Kirin Way. It is a plan used to start a local revolution and support one''s own people to sit on the throne and have the right to speak."


    "You think it''s also a kingdom?" Wu Heng subconsciously said it.


    At the same time, I immediately thought of my own understanding of the Esoteric Order.


    A group of wealthy people who pursue immortality constantly want to gain greater influence through money, and occupy their own interests by instigating coups and promoting war between neighboring countries.


    Now it seems that these are not random guesses, but clear plans.


    What happened recently is the Yeke Kingdom.


    "This is also what I suspect. The fifth princess you met last time also mentioned the interference of outsiders in the throne." Sheila Gui said directly.


    At that time, the fifth princess mentioned a cult, and for this reason, she wanted the association to get involved.


    But it doesn''t rule out that it was done by the secret cult.


    "It is indeed possible." Wu Heng said.


    "Not only that, the powerful are even more afraid of death. It''s hard to say that no leader of any country would secretly cooperate with the Secret Order to keep themselves alive." Sheila Gui looked like she could see through people''s hearts.


    Wu Heng nodded in agreement, then looked directly at the other party, "Is there any action from the headquarters?"


    Sheila Gui replied, "We should let the local association investigate and wait for news then!"


    "Let the association handle the matters over there. We just need to keep an eye on Treasure Island." Wu Heng leaned back on the sofa and smiled.


    Xilagui lost her seriousness when she spoke, "You are the owner of the island, don''t wait until you get old and be bribed by them."


    Wu Heng said angrily, "Who are you looking down on? I am a necromancer. I can use them to renew my life. I can do it myself."


    Sila Gui''s tone was choked, "You''re so cruel."


    Seeing that Xila Gei had nothing else to do, Wu Heng continued, "A bard will invite me to watch a stage play tomorrow. If there is nothing else, you can go and join in the fun."


    "The fifth princess?"


    "No, it''s an adaptation of the first story of the Great Detective by a bard named Saban." Wu Heng explained.


    "Are there many people?"


    "There is no one else. I plan to take Minnie and the others to see it."


    Sheila Gui thought about it for a while, but she was also quite interested.


    Asked: "Okay, then I will make arrangements tomorrow and let the rest of the team take a look."


    Wu Heng nodded, "Okay."


    "Speaking of which, you really have talent as a magician..."


    After the conversation was over, Sheila Gui brought up the pen and watch again, and the two chatted casually.


    Wait until it gets dark.


    Sheila Gui put on her sword again and said, "I''m going back. I''ll take someone there tomorrow morning."


    Wu Heng also stood up, "You two sisters still owe me one more time for the last bet." Xila Gui paused, staring with big eyes, a little surprised, "You don''t even say it, but you always bring it up."


    "Waiting for a chance." Wu Heng said.


    "Think about it first. Shi Yali wants to treat you to dinner in two days. Then you can tell her so that it doesn''t look like we are cheating on you." Xila Gui said, her face visibly turning red.


    "Then I''ll think about it carefully." Wu Heng nodded and sent her out.


    Sheila Gui said as she walked, "You can''t go too far..., you can''t do anything bad, and you can''t..."


    "If you regret it, just say so. You are a deacon, and I can''t do anything to you."


    Sheila Gui paused and said, "Okay, just think about it."


    Walking her out the door, waving goodbye.


    Sheela walked out of the alley, called a carriage, and slowly disappeared from sight.


    Wu Heng also returned to the house and walked upstairs.


    …


    When they came to the study, the three ghosts were busy with their own things.


    Wu Heng sat down on the side and said: "Sheila Gui came just now and brought some news about ''Magnolo''."


    Glenda, who was revising the draft, looked up and asked, "What''s the news?"


    "About the cat-and-mouse association behind him." Wu Heng repeated to her what Xila Gui had just said to him.


    In the news, there are more matters related to the forces behind it, and Granda''s side is not involved.


    Glenda, after a brief reflection, said: "Based on what I know about him, the Cat and Mouse Society should be arranged by the Secret Order. He helped deliver some orders. As for the Kirin Road, this is my first time." I heard that, as Shiragui said, he is very likely to be involved in the battle for the throne of the Kingdom of Yeko.”


    "We have similar ideas." Wu Heng nodded.


    Glenda said: "You and Sheila Rose''s perspectives should be different. The lifespan of elves makes it difficult for them to stand from a human perspective and experience the fear of life gradually coming to an end. The Secret Order can come up with ways to extend life. It has a strong appeal to the human royal family.”


    That''s right.


    But anyone who has power will want to enjoy privileges forever and live forever.


    But not only humans, the leaders of other races may not be so great.


    It''s nothing more than a matter of dying early and dying late.


    "That''s what happened. In fact, the Cat and Mouse Society told Qilin that it has nothing to do with us. It''s just a matter of guarding Treasure Island." Wu Heng stood up and stretched.


    "That''s right." Glenda agreed.


    "I''m going to rest, you can play."


    Wu Heng said, walked out of the study and returned to the bedroom to rest.


    …


    Gem Flower Opera House.


    A huge newly built building on Treasure Island, with white stone pillars and an exaggerated semicircular dome.


    The opera house has become a landmark building in this area.


    In the translated name of the elves, Shannara represents the gem flower.


    The real owner of this opera house is also Shanara.


    The interior of the building is equally magnificent, with a strong wood elf decoration style.


    Wu Heng led the maids into the hall and sat down in a seat in the middle.


    Minnie and the others were chatting away, looking forward to the next performance.


    After sitting in his seat and waiting for a while, footsteps came from the entrance, and Andwyer walked in with several people from the city hall.


    "Island Master." Anderweil took the lead in saluting.


    The city hall staff at the rear also saluted, "Your Majesty, Island Master."


    "Find a place to sit!" Wu Heng said.


    Anderweil led everyone to the side and sat on one side.


    Robbe said softly: "Sister Wei''er is so powerful."


    Minnie also lowered her voice, "It turned out to be the young patriarch, so it''s nothing to care about such a small number of people."
