Chapter 720, Like a Hero (Today’s update, 5,000 words.)


    Saban was not angry when faced with the following curses.


    After quickly recounting the information about the surrounding area in the newspaper, he continued, "The Island Lord''s Mansion plans to popularize electric lights, which are the same lighting equipment as street lamps, and plans to provide lighting for shops and residents'' homes. The city hall will conduct this later. Opinion poll.”


    The drinker who was casually listening to the chat was suddenly startled.


    "What are you investigating?" someone shouted.


    Saban shrugged, "It wasn''t mentioned in the newspaper. Someone should come down to investigate in the next few days, and everyone will know by then."


    There was a brief pause in the tavern, and then there was discussion.


    "Electric lamps, like street lamps, are magic props. They are much more effective than light stones."


    "The street lights are too bright. If they are turned on in the house, no one can sleep."


    "Don''t you know how to turn on a lampshade? When it''s time to sleep, the lightstone needs to be covered, so there will be no light."


    "Damn! I''ve never used the light stone before."


    "It shouldn''t be in vain for us! After all, there are so many people."


    "I can''t afford it if I charge money. These are things used by noble men."


    "Yes, the island owner understands what he wants. A gadget costs several gold coins. Who can afford it?"


    It was a mess down there.


    Compared with the information from other surrounding areas, I am still more concerned about matters involving myself.


    Things like electric lights are definitely good, but it depends on how much they cost.


    It''s like a magic prop. It costs several gold coins. Who can afford it? Keep it at home like a treasure.


    Of course, this kind of thing should be provided to some stores first.


    Let them increase their business hours, after all, the island is also lively at night.


    Saban waited for a while to discuss.


    He patted the table again, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Today is the latest short story of the Island Lord''s Mansion "The Case of the Disappearance of the Deacon of Netale City". Everyone should have heard of this case, so I will share it with all the guests. Let us tell you the true details of this whole story.”


    It’s time to tell a story.


    Suddenly there was silence below.


    Saban reapplied two buffs to himself and said: "The deacon of Netale City was killed. When the news reached the headquarters, it attracted the attention of the five leaders. They arranged an investigation team and sent three 18th-level professionals. , went to Treasure Island to assist the great detective Wu Heng in investigating the case..."


    "Damn it, no wonder we set out from Treasure Island to pick up the island owner."


    "Three level 18 professionals are assisting us. The island owner is so powerful."


    "The heroes of this department all know that the island owner is a great detective."


    As soon as it started, the discussion started again.


    …


    Association, Deacon''s Study.


    Dang~!


    The door was suddenly pushed open, and Sila Gui, who was looking in the mirror to check the marks on her neck, was so frightened that she trembled.


    He straightened his collar upward.


    Looking up, he saw Shi Yali coming back from outside, holding the latest newspaper in her hand.


    "It''s so hot outside. Let Wu Heng think of a way to cool down the whole island." Shi Yali picked up the remote control and turned down the air conditioner two more degrees.


    Silla rolled her eyes at her, "You think he can do anything, right? Let the island cool down. You dare to think too."


    Shi Yali looked at her and clicked her tongue twice, "After things get better, it''s just different. She helps outsiders say she is her biological sister."


    "Boring." Sheela said, and then added, "Let''s see what the newspapers say."


    Shi Yali half-leaned on the armrest and opened the newspaper. "I took a look when I came back. He really planned to turn on the light for everyone."


    "He said he would definitely do it."


    …


    Golden Sail Tavern.


    "Soldiers are very fast! After the investigation team received the information, they were directly led by level 18 professionals and rushed to the city lord''s mansion to capture the important people. At the same time, the surrounding armies were also rushing to the city lord''s mansion to help, and the two sides faced off."


    "The city lord ''Dasil'' walked out of the gate directly. He still behaved politely and modestly and asked about his purpose."


    "Wu Heng took out the evidence and asked, ''Lord Dashil, your subordinates killed the local deacon. Please hand him over and we will take him back for investigation.''"


    "Dasil frowned, but he also said: ''If it is really my people who did it, don''t worry I will never cover it up.''"


    "With that said, he sent people to the military camp to find the manpower mentioned in the intelligence."


    As Saban spoke, there were murmurs below.


    "Sure enough, it has something to do with the army in the city."


    "Originally it was a military camp where pirates were recruited when there was a shortage of soldiers in the city."


    "This city lord is quite sensible and has always been willing to cooperate."


    "The level 18 professional is following him. Even if the army is surrounding him, he can be killed directly. How dare you not cooperate!"


    The drinkers discussed a few words.


    Saban continued, "Not long after, the soldiers rushed back and said: ''City Lord, the person the investigation team is looking for did serve as a commander in the army, but he was killed in a battle with the enemy, and his body was burned. .''"


    Later, in order to appease the investigation team, the city lord asked for two surviving members of the original gang.


    The investigation team took the person away from the opponent and escorted him back to the association for interrogation.


    Under the strong pressure of a group of high-level professionals, the two gang members did not hide anything and told everything.


    It was also confirmed that these people were pirates.


    Although there are still many unreasonable places, it is basically consistent with the intelligence.


    "With the efforts of everyone, the two truthfully confessed the identity of the pirates and the purpose of hiding in the city."


    "Although there are still some unreasonable aspects in the case, it is enough to explain to the headquarters and complete the case."


    "The investigator recorded that Elder Tapani ordered to take the criminals and return tomorrow."


    …


    "These gang members are so ruthless, they even dare to kill deacons."


    "I didn''t listen carefully. I was a pirate before."


    "The main thing is that Netale City appointed these gangs to official positions and used these to destroy clues in an attempt to hide the past."


    "Yes, but the murderer has been caught, and the headquarters can recover."


    "Why did I hear that the investigation team and the army were at war? This is not a fight."


    As the story came to a close, the drinkers started discussing again.


    The pace of the entire story accelerated significantly after getting clues about the Snake Emblem Consortium.


    He went directly to the city lord''s palace to ask for someone, followed by interrogation and closing of the case, which was surprisingly fast.


    The drinkers discussed it for a while.


    He looked up and saw Saban still standing on the wooden platform, looking at everyone with a smile.


    "Mr. Saban, are you okay today? Do you want to talk for a while?"


    “Then let’s talk about the latest devil dog story!”


    "I would also like to hear Mr. Saban''s story."


    The original story ended.


    The bards will all leave, but Saban is still sitting on it, seemingly going to talk for a while longer.


    "The story is not over yet." Saban said, stretched out his hand to press down, and continued, "The investigation team of this department has checked the intelligence. Although there are still many doubts in the mind, according to the existing evidence, the murderer is The dead gang leader."


    The audience fell silent for a moment, and their brows also furrowed.


    The story is not over yet? Or, there will be a reversal later.


    Then, Saban continued.


    The investigation team began to prepare to arrest the leader of the White Wings Gang, the leader of the abduction and trafficking of women and children.


    But before the arrest, the old man from the Snake Emblem Consortium was discovered. Everyone in the association realized something was wrong and directly arrested the leader of the White Wings Gang and the old man.


    When the leader of the White Wings Gang and the old man of the consortium were arrested, troops from all over the city began to gather towards the association.


    The island owner conducted an interrogation and learned that the president in the city was a member of a cult. He also killed the local deacon and arranged the clues that confused everyone.


    The local city lord also cooperated in completing the praise.


    Following the interrogation of corpses, the army also surrounded the association.


    The drinkers'' eyes were wide open, full of surprise and disbelief.


    Sure enough, there was a reversal.


    Presidential Land is a cult.


    The seemingly humble city lord is also an old fox.


    How is this possible?


    The largest port city on the coast of the Kingdom of Yeko has become the den of a cult.


    If it weren''t for the fact that the entire island knew about the investigation team, they would all think that this story was false, even more false than the previous serialized stories.


    But we all know that this is true.


    Saban''s voice became more serious and his speaking speed began to increase.


    "The army surrounded everyone in the association. Elder Tapani shouted: ''Gianvito, take the investigators and Wu Heng and leave first to keep the evidence.''"


    "Immediately, he drew his sword and faced the leader of the 18th-level cult president opposite."


    "Gianvito was about to leave with Wu Heng and the investigators. Wu Heng said directly: ''Hold on, I can find the location of the city lord. I will kill him. Wait for me.''"


    "After saying that, without waiting for the others to react, he rushed out and left first."


    Then, the investigation team fought hard for a while.


    And Wu Heng arrived at the location where the city lord was hiding and rushed in alone.


    As Saban spoke, the audience let out waves of exclamations.


    "Just when the investigation team members could no longer hold on and were about to be overwhelmed by the army, the owner of Wuheng Island flew into the battlefield on a flying carpet."


    "Holding the body of the city lord in his hand, he shouted loudly: ''The city lord is dead, but those who retreat can live.''"


    "The army below, seeing the death of the city lord, began to become confused and restless. They threw away their weapons and dispersed."


    "Thankfully, the owner of Wuheng Island came in time and saved everyone."


    "At this point, the association has officially taken over Netale City."


    After the story was told, the whole place was still silent.


    The leader of the cult president, pretending to be an upright and kind city lord, dared to surround and kill the troops of the headquarters investigation team.


    this….


    What an exaggeration!


    This was even more exaggerated than the Pirate King''s attack on Treasure Island. At that time, he killed the local deacon and deputy deacon, but this time it was the entire investigation team.


    Of course, the most impressive task is that of the island owner Wu Heng.


    However, unlike the previous cases where he relied on his mind and observation to solve the case, the most impressive thing this time was to kill the city lord alone and save all the members of the investigation team. As if following the story, everyone saw the island owner with black hair and black eyes charging into the enemy''s lair.


    The scene of dragging the city lord out.


    The crime-solving story turned into a passionate story.


    It also made everyone feel admiration in their hearts.


    No worse than those level 18s.


    "Saban, is it over yet? There''s no follow-up, right?"


    Saban stood up and saluted, "No follow-up."


    "The island owner is so fierce!"


    …


    Opera House, backstage.


    Several dressed-up women were gathering together, listening to the literate woman reading the contents of the newspaper.


    When reading one of the names.


    The women instantly became lively.


    "Brittany? Why do you have the same name as the fifth princess?"


    "It should be her. The time she disappeared happened to be when the association''s investigation team left the island."


    "Oh my god, we actually rehearsed with the Fifth Princess for so long."


    "Yes, we always said at that time that she would not come back to retaliate against us!"


    "How is it possible? If she felt bad about us, she would have stopped practicing with us a long time ago. Why would she wait until now?"


    "Too."


    "It would be nice if she could inherit the kingdom. It says that she secretly shed tears when she saw Netale City like this."


    Several people gathered together to discuss.


    An urging voice came from the front, "It''s your turn to perform, get ready."


    Everyone hurriedly tidied up for a while, adjusted their condition, and walked onto the stage.


    …


    The island owner''s mansion.


    Wu Heng was sitting in the radio room, holding a radio microphone in his hand.


    Opposite her was Mansha Wen, who was coaxing her children and talking on the phone.


    "Master, our army continued to advance two more cities. Basically all the defenders in the city fled without much resistance." Wen Mansha said softly.


    The decision of Yeko Kingdom to challenge Luntam City now seems to have been settled.


    After the skeleton army crossed the border, it became even more unstoppable, basically pushing them flatly along the way.


    In this world, the population of each city is limited, and tens of thousands of people make up a big city.


    The population of villages and towns is basically in the hundreds or thousands.


    The resistance of some wavelets is like providing soldiers for the skeleton army.


    After the killing, all the accompanying skeleton mages were transformed into a skeleton army.


    The current situation seems to have formed a closed loop.


    The more you resist, the more skeletons you get.


    If you don''t resist, you can only run away.


    "Restrict those orcs, don''t let them act like bandits and harass the residents everywhere." Wu Heng said.


    With things developing like this, it is impossible for Wu Heng to say that he will withdraw his troops.


    When the time comes, the Kingdom may see that you are so weak and may make some provocative moves again.


    All we can do is kill all the way and see what happens next.


    But facing ordinary residents, Wu Heng still didn''t want to make it too bad.


    I don’t really want to kill many people.


    After a skeleton is given an order, it will not do anything other than what is ordered, except those who follow the orc coalition.


    They were very rude to begin with, and if they were allowed to run amok, they would probably be even scarier than bandits.


    Wen Mansha said: "Master, don''t worry, a supervision team has been formed to investigate and restrict everyone. Once any bad behavior is discovered, they will be controlled first and brought back for processing."


    "You are still thoughtful." Wu Heng praised with a smile.


    Wen Mansha also smiled and said, "Master upgrades so quickly, I won''t give you a bad reputation."


    "So good."


    Wen Mansha continued, "In two days, we will go to Blackstone Town. Let''s see what Deacon Slater''s expression will be then. When I first took the position of city leader, she always talked about being a gang leader. ”


    "In the Yeko Kingdom, there are some stereotypes about gangs, so you don''t have to worry about them."


    In fact, Wrentam City gangs are more serious.


    Not really a stereotype either.


    They weren''t all good people to begin with.


    Wen Mansha said stubbornly, "Then I want to see if she is afraid. Then I will have the skeletons circle her association three or four times to scare her."


    Wu Heng advised: "Farewell, Slater is a bit serious in her work. Don''t really think that you want to deal with her."


    "I knew the master was looking towards her."


    "No, I''m just afraid that your relationship won''t work out."


    Wen Mansha wanted to continue talking, but the cry of a child came from the other side.


    All I can say is: "Master, I will take the child to rest first. I will report to you if there is any new news."


    "Okay, if something happens, let''s contact you again."


    The communication was hung up, and Wu Heng returned the location to the skeleton investigator.


    Leaning on the edge of the desk, thinking about what happened this time.


    In the direction of the skeleton army''s advance, the defenders began to flee, so it would not be difficult to capture the city.


    As we advance all the way, it will depend on when the Yeko Kingdom will gather its forces and resist.


    On our side, we must also provide Luntam City with sufficient ammunition.


    …


    "Who has the news?"


    Thinking in her mind, Glenda flew down from the roof.


    "Wen Mansha, her army is pushing all the way, almost reaching Blackstone Town."


    "So fast?" Glenda was also a little surprised. She floated to one side and said, "Would it be faster to give Wen Mansha more support and let her fight all the way to the main city and capture the Kingdom of Yeke?" ”


    Forehead….


    Wu Heng also thought about this issue just now.


    "The Yeke Kingdom is not small. Even if there is no resistance in every city, it will take at least several months to get from the current position to the royal city. This requires ensuring sufficient skeletons and weapons and equipment."


    Judging from the current battles, the skeleton army does have the advantage.


    But it is still relatively difficult to capture Luntam City by force.


    The closer to the center, the more intense the resistance will be, which may allow the disintegrated royal city to reunite.


    It will only make it take longer.


    There is also the intervention of the association. Maybe at some point, the association will intervene.


    It''s not as simple as imagined.


    Of course, you can also try it.


    The Luntam City army continued to advance, and the fifth princess was still supported here.


    Whichever end works best, that’s fine.


    Glenda felt that what she said made sense, "You are professional when it comes to skeletons."


    Wu Heng glanced at her angrily, "How about the new issue of the newspaper?"


    "The effect is quite good, especially the part where the army surrounds the investigation team and you kill the city lord alone, the response is very good." Granda said with a smile.


    "Your writing is better."


    "You did indeed do that, you didn''t make it up." Glenda responded with a smile.


    While talking, Xiaoxiao and Beini also flew back.


    "Uncle, we are back." Xiaoxiao cheered.


    Then, just look at him with big eyes.


    Wu Heng looked at her waiting look and asked again what he just said, "How is the effect of the newspaper?"


    Glenda smiled slightly.


    Xiaoxiao said: "Those people spoke highly of you for saving people, saying that you killed the city lord alone and came back to save people, just like the hero in the story."


    Beni added, "No one believes the heroic stories in the association''s brochure, but everyone will believe it after hearing about you, and the effect is very good."


    Ah this….


    He actually compared himself to the story in the brochure.


    Some think too highly of themselves.


    "You think highly of me."


    "Uncle, you are just one level behind. Don''t be discouraged. In my heart, uncle, you are the best." Xiaoxiao lay on his shoulder again.


    "It''s so heart-warming to talk so little."


    "hey-hey!"


    Wu Heng then asked, "Does the electric light thing have any effect?"


    Penny said, "I paid attention, and everyone seemed to accept it. It just depends on how the money is charged. Everyone is worried that the magic props are too expensive and they can''t afford it."


    "That''s it. That shouldn''t be a problem."


    The lights are charged according to the electricity fee, and a reasonable price is set. In addition, the Yanhuo Furnace is powered and does not require fuel, so there is basically no cost.


    "Uncle, I also went to the port, and the newspapers and books were shipped out."


    "Well, they''re all pretty good." Wu Heng said, then looked at the time and said, "Let''s go to the Zombie World and come back early in the afternoon."


    "OK."


    The three ghosts agreed.


    They got into the body one after another.
