Chapter 717, please pass it to Treasure Island (5000 words, two in one.)
Shi Yali noticed the other person''s gaze and looked over in confusion, "What''s wrong?"
Silla''s brows were still frowning, "Do you miss him so much?"
"Who are you thinking of? What did I just say?" Shi Yali was a little confused.
"You said you wanted to go to the island master''s mansion to chat with Wu Heng in the evening." Xila Gui said directly.
Shi Yali opened her eyes, paused slightly, and then said: "Yeah, don''t you feel that there is nothing new on the island when he is away? When he was here, there were exhibitions and stage plays, but now there is nothing new. It’s over.”
Sheila Gui still looked at her with squinted eyes.
That''s what I said, but I always felt that there was something wrong with Shi Yali''s attitude towards Wu Heng.
Still said: "Shi Yali, I feel something is not right with you."
Shi Yali stood up, walked to the counter nearby, and made tea for herself, "What''s wrong?"
"I feel like you''re weird. You don''t like him anymore, do you?"
Shi Yali came back with tea, leaned on the armrest of Xila Rose''s chair, and put one hand on her shoulder, "Don''t worry, sister knows your feelings for him and won''t take him away from you."
Silla rolled her eyes and said, "What kind of feelings? That''s nonsense."
"Should we go to the Island Lord''s Mansion that night? We have nothing to do at home anyway." Shi Yali then asked.
Sheila Gui frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Let''s wait for two more days. It won''t be good to get there anyway, and Minnie also said that with that kind of communication tool, you can''t always receive the news immediately. Let''s get there. He may not get it either.”
"Okay, you are the deacon, you have the final say." Shi Yali shrugged.
"Don''t the opera houses have programs every day? You can go and see them yourself."
"They are all the same old shows, not good to watch." Shi Yali took a sip of tea and said softly: "Why aren''t you back yet?"
"It should be soon." Sheela picked up her water glass and said, "Go and pour me a glass of water."
"The shelf is not small." Shi Yali took the other person''s water glass and walked aside.
…
The train door opened, and Wu Heng came down with the skeleton attendant.
Facing the direction of the sea, he took a deep breath.
The moist air fills the lungs and brings a refreshing feeling.
Treasure Island is better.
Even in the port of Netale City, there is no such feeling as being on Treasure Island.
The ghost was released and walked toward the city on foot.
"Are you back to Treasure Island?" Glenda asked.
"Back." Wu Heng said.
"Okay, I''m home." Xiao Xiao cheered.
Penny floated to one side and said, "Treasure Island looks better, like a living city."
"Even so, I''m not afraid of bad people."
Three ghosts floated above the head, feeling as if they were returning from a long journey.
Glenda floated down and said, "How''s the situation over there in Luntam City?"
"I chatted with Wen Mansha yesterday and said that I have captured two cities."
Wu Heng has also been paying attention to the battle situation in Luntam City.
However, the battle showed a one-sided trend. The skeleton army pushed forward all the way, but the army of Yeke Kingdom continued to retreat.
Under the attack of the skeleton army, two cities and several surrounding villages and towns have been occupied.
If the battle line had not been drawn too long, more cities might have been captured if the enemy would attack Luntam City in a roundabout way.
Skeletons coupled with modern thermal weapons show strong combat effectiveness.
The firepower is fierce, the speed is fast, and there is no need for baggage or rest.
Marching all night, when we meet, we fight.
It felt like a blitzkrieg.
People in this world have never seen this kind of combination and fighting method, and they can''t accept it.
They can only retreat step by step.
"Perhaps, Wen Mansha will help you do what you don''t want to do," Glenda said.
Wu Heng glanced at her and said, "You said we would rely on force to occupy the kingdom?"
"Well, when the kingdom is conquered, the population base increases, and the reputation is spread through newspapers, it will be enough for you to upgrade." Granda continued.
If it were really as big as a kingdom, I wouldn''t be afraid of not being able to level up.
But the territory of the Kingdom of Yeke is vast, and a variety of forces are mixed in it.
It''s not as simple as you think.
"It depends on the situation." Wu Heng said.
"But I have to say that skeletons are really good at fighting." Glenda sighed.
While walking and chatting, we directly entered the noisy street.
Some residents gathered on the roadside to chat, and they talked about things in Netale City.
The fleets of various chambers of commerce have arrived at the port of Netale City.
Various intelligence and news also spread to surrounding cities and small islands through some ships.
It has also become a hot topic on Treasure Island.
"I heard that the association is going to change the royal family."
"Who said that? Judging from the time, the people from the association haven''t gone to the main city yet. Besides, the association doesn''t interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom, so how can it arbitrarily replace the royal family."
"People outside are saying this. They colluded with the cult to kill the investigation team of our headquarters. The royal family must have changed."
"I heard that the current prince is a member of a cult, a child who was exchanged a few years ago."
"You are so fake. The news I got is that the ministers of the kingdom are secretly members of the cult, and the prince who controls the kingdom has become a puppet."
"Didn''t you say that the royal family''s living sacrifices are looking for ways to extend their lives?"
"Which one is true?"
Wu Heng and San Youhun slowed down and listened.
Hearing what everyone was discussing, his brows also wrinkled.
Where does this information come from? There are so many versions?
Moreover, at present, the information about the cooperation between the eldest prince and the sect was only obtained through interrogation of corpses. How could he obtain a living sacrifice to extend his life?
This span is quite far.
Listening to the rumors becoming more and more outrageous, some people began to say that Wu Heng was the illegitimate son of the old king and also had the right to compete for the throne.
It''s just a little scary.
Seeing that there was no useful information, Wu Heng quickened his pace and continued to move forward.
"Uncle, sister Beni and I are going to the tavern to listen to stories." A small voice sounded in my ears.
"Go and come back early." Wu Heng said.
"Okay." Xiaoxiao agreed, took Penny to the tavern opposite, and got in directly.
Wu Heng also called a carriage and returned directly to the island owner''s mansion.
…
When he was still some way away from the island owner''s mansion, Wu Heng gave him money and got out of the carriage.
He took off his mask and walked a certain distance with the skeleton attendant.
You can see patrolling skeletons along the way, and you can also see skeleton sentries on the roofs of some buildings and alleys.
It is the most heavily defended place on the entire island.
Pushing open the courtyard door, Wu Heng walked in.
Minnie ran out with Robert and Annette. When she saw Wu Heng, a smile appeared on her face, "Master, you sneaked back again?"
"What do you mean by sneaking back? I have nothing to do with Neita Lei City." Wu Heng said.
"Is it over?"
Wu Heng put his arm around Minnie''s shoulders and walked into the residence, "It''s over. I''m not happy when I come back."
"Happy, we will be happy when the master comes back." Minnie then asked: "Is the master still leaving?"
"Probably not leaving. The association has arranged some tasks that can be carried out on the island." Wu Heng said.
Several people entered the living room together.
The maids helped him take off his coat and hung it aside.
"Master, do you want lunch?" Minnie asked.
"Prepare lunch, and prepare bath water."
"Okay." The three maids agreed and jumped down to prepare.
…
I took a comfortable bath and went downstairs to have lunch.
After chatting with the maids for a while, she returned to the study upstairs.
Opening the door, Xiaoxiao and Beini also came back from outside.
"Uncle, now it''s a new detective story. I''ve never heard of a devil hound story." Xiaoxiao floated over and said directly.
After this time passed, the third detective story was released.
"Your aunt wrote it. There is a manuscript in the drawer. You can read it yourself." Wu Heng said.
"I don''t, I want to listen to others tell me that I hate reading things with a lot of words." Xiaoxiao half-lyed in the air.
"Where''s Penny, what do you think of the new detective story?" Wu Heng looked at Penny on the other side.
"The story is quite exciting. When Xiaoxiao and I went there, we were in the middle of the story and the story was a bit unconnected." Penny replied.
"You can make up for it by walking around for two days."
"Well, when the street lights come out at night, we can go outside and listen to the whole story." Penny also said.
One person and three souls chatted for a few words.
Everyone went about their own business separately.
Wu Heng also took out a drawing and looked through it.
…
dusk.
The voice of a maid calling for dinner came from downstairs.
Wu Heng went downstairs, and Anderweier also came back from outside. Minnie and others were already waiting in the living room.
"Master, you are back!" Andweier greeted with a smile.
Wu Heng nodded, sat down at the dining table, and started eating dinner together.
After simply eating some.
Wu Heng said: "Weier, the investigation team needs to purchase some supplies from Treasure Island and transport them to Netale City. You can arrange this." As he said that, he took out a list.
Anderweil took it and looked at it, "I''ll prepare it tomorrow."
"No need to rush, just wait three days and then prepare."
"Understood, Master."
After dinner, the skeleton put away all the tableware.
Several people were sitting in the living room, and Minnie asked softly: "Master, why did the association replace you? Didn''t you investigate the murderer?"
"Maybe there is some special arrangement!" Wu Heng opened his mouth to take it, chewing the fruit Annette brought to his mouth and said, "I''m fine without any arrangement, but within the kingdom, it may not be that simple. "
"Why is it not simple? Tell us about it." Several maids looked like they were waiting for a story.
"I saw heroes in Netale City. Level 20 heroes also went to the direction of the main city of the kingdom."
The four maids'' eyes widened instantly.
"Hero!"
…
Blackstone.
Slater rubbed his brows and put the documents in his hands aside.
Recently, a large number of refugees have fled from the north, and the entire Blackstone Town has become chaotic.
In addition, the undead army is about to attack here, and the rumors that no chickens or dogs will be left behind have caused many residents and dignitaries to start packing their things and preparing to leave here.
There are fights and murders every day.
The association team is a bit busy.
"What is Mansha Wen doing? Why did you start attacking?"
"Women who come from the gang just can''t do it."
Dong dong dong~!
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter!"
The door opened, and four figures stood at the door, "Deacon Slater, am I not disturbing you?"
Slater raised his head and looked over suspiciously.
I thought it was Yuli who was looking for me to go home, but it was several famous dignitaries from the city who came.
"Come in!" Slater extended his hand to signal.
Several people walked in and sat down on the sofa nearby. They looked carefully at Slater''s figure standing upright beside him.
The body is wrapped tightly.
But I heard from some rumors that this was a high-level skeleton attendant.
It was reserved for Slater to keep her safe.
"Is there something wrong with you guys?" Slater looked confused.
A middle-aged businessman with slightly curly hair and a bloated body said softly: "Deacon Slater, I wonder if the skeleton army is coming. Is it true?"
Refugees come one after another.
It can''t be fake.
But people always want to have a glimmer of hope.
Slater glanced at a few people and said, "Several members of the association have also passed through Blackstone Town recently. Judging from the intelligence, the news is true."
"Hey~!" The middle-aged businessman sighed softly, and then continued, "Deacon Slater, will you leave Blackstone Town by then?"
Slater was a little confused about the purpose of these people. He sat upright and replied: "I''m not sure. There is a high probability that they will not leave, and neither will the other members of the association."
"Because you know Luntam City?"
Slater raised his eyebrows but did not answer.
The other party immediately explained, "Deacon, don''t get me wrong. We came here this time just to ask if you have any connection with Luntam City. If so, can you protect us?"
The Money Cat in Blackstone Town has closed and moved to Wrentam City.
At that time, there was some excitement locally.
Many believe Slater has ties to Wrentam City.
"Why don''t you leave here?" Slater asked.
"The direction of the royal city is not safe either." The other party said roughly, and then said, "If there is a way to protect us and our families, your efforts will not be in vain."
As he spoke, he took out a small wooden box and opened it on the table.
The golden gold coins appeared in front of me.
In a place like Blackstone Town, this is already a huge sum of money.
The first one took out the gold coins, and the other merchants also began to express their opinions.
"Sir Deacon, from the mine under my name, I am willing to give 20% of the profits to the deacon."
"I also have some savings here, so I''d like to ask the deacon for help."
“….”
Several people spoke one after another, and gold coins and agreements were all placed on the table.
Slater watched calmly.
The Luntam City Money Cat also made a lot of money some time ago, so it is not that attractive to those in front of it.
He glanced at it, pondered for a while, and said: "I can''t ignore this kind of thing. Let''s do this. If there is danger, you bring your family members to the association, and I will do my best to protect you."
With Wu Heng''s relationship, Wen Mansha''s team would definitely not kill her.
It should not be like what the escaped residents said, saying that the chickens and dogs will not be left alone, which is completely inconsistent with Wu Heng''s character.
There is no problem in protecting these people.
"Thank you, deacon." Everyone looked happy.
"Okay, you can take your things back. If there is any danger, just come here." Slater continued.
"How can that be done? There is no way to take things back."
As they talked, they didn''t take anything, and left the study directly after saluting.
Slater glanced at the items on the table.
He also put it away casually.
…
Reorganized the files.
Slater was just about to get home from get off work.
Dong dong dong~!
The door knocked again without waiting for words.
Yuri opened the door and poked her head in, "Aunt, there is a letter from you."
Slater glared at her, took the letter and looked at it.
His brows also furrowed, his eyes serious.
"Aunt, what''s wrong?" Yuli asked curiously.
Slater put the letter aside and said: "Information about the cult indicates that the kingdom has indeed become a gathering place for cults."
"What''s going on?"
Slater took a deep breath and said, "Do you still remember the Treasure Island spy who was released last time after killing the Destiny Cult?"
"Ah? That person from the Flying Fish Pirates?" Yuri was a little surprised. She didn''t expect that this person would write a letter after such a long time.
"Well, the news he sent said that several sects have gathered in ''Erjiluo City'', seemingly in a cooperative way. If they have any plans against the Kingdom of Yeko, and the information cannot be sent to other directions, let us find a way to Message sent to Treasure Island.”
sect?
Sent to Treasure Island?
Yuri''s brows also wrinkled.
It sounds like it''s no small matter.
"Then let me go to Luntam City? There are props there. Can I contact Wu Heng?"
Slater shook his head, "No, we can''t go there now. The army is on tight guard. It''s in danger if you go there."
Before, it would have been okay to sneak out and send a message.
Now that the army is fighting, everyone is on tight alert. Yuri turns into an eagle and flies over, fearing that she will be beaten into pieces.
I have seen the power of that kind of equipment before.
"What should we do?"
"Wait, wait until the army from Luntam City comes, and we will tell them the news." Slater said.
"That''s okay. I miss Wu Heng a little. Why doesn''t he come back?"
Slater frowned, "You miss him?"
"No?"
Slater put the letter away, "You are not suitable."
…
Treasure Island, Deacon''s Mansion.
The air is filled with a faint floral fragrance.
The entire courtyard was beautifully decorated by the two elf sisters, with flowers of various colors blooming and butterflies flying around.
Sheila Gui sat in the pavilion, staring at the flying butterflies in a daze.
Although she was refuting Shi Yali with her mouth, she really missed Wu Heng in her heart.
If I had known earlier, I would have followed her words and went to the island owner''s mansion to have a look. Maybe I could contact Wu Heng so that we could chat and get information from each other.
Shi Yali still got some things right.
Wu Heng is not on the island, so there is nothing new.
"If I could come back earlier, the island would be more interesting." Sheila Gui whispered.
He muttered and his eyes instantly narrowed.
In the open space in front of him, a magic circle suddenly lit up and took shape quickly.
Teleportation scroll or teleportation array?
Someone dares to come here.
Xila Gui''s eyes suddenly became sharp. She stretched out her hand and the evil sword [White Phoenix] instantly appeared in her hand.
The body was instantly covered with a light white mist.
"How brave you are to break into the deacon''s mansion."
When the figure in the magic circle gradually solidified, Xila Gui''s figure burst out, and the long sword slashed towards the solid figure.
