Chapter 735, let them come out
Wu Heng''s eyes lit up.
Relatively speaking, this kind of thing drawn on paper is closer to a magic scroll.
However, the magic scroll is much larger than the talisman and needs to be unfolded when using it.
"Is it possible?"
"These two strokes can have the effect of blocking ghosts. It''s really not simple. It may be the work of a certain master." The middle-aged man continued, "If you want to verify the material, you need to get some. It’s very possible that this thing will be destroyed.”
"It''s okay, the effect is so small, it''s just bad."
The middle-aged man nodded, took out a carving knife, and gently scraped off a layer of the drawn pattern.
Then he turned around and started experimenting.
"The material does have an effect. It may be a rare object, or it may be an experimental product of a certain master and scholar."
The middle-aged man said without looking back.
"What''s the meaning of this graphic?" Wu Heng asked again.
"The deliberate drawing of this pattern obviously has a purpose, otherwise it would be simpler to just pile up the materials."
"That makes sense."
The middle-aged man put the things in his hands aside and continued, "This piece of yellow paper works well, but its effect is too low. If you are willing, I can buy it with two silver coins and use it as a collection."
This item is definitely unique in the current environment.
Whether it''s a rare object or some master''s experimental product, it actually doesn''t matter anymore.
It is already a rare item with great research value.
Wu Heng smiled and said, "No, this is also my collection. I just came here to ask."
"It''s easy to talk about the price. If you tell me the price in your mind, if it''s not an exaggeration, I will consider it." The other party spoke again.
"I have no intention of selling it. I will sell it to you when I have a chance to get a second one."
The middle-aged man wanted to say a few more words, but he endured it.
The other party doesn''t look simple, and he was introduced by the city lord''s palace.
If you don''t want to sell it to yourself, there''s nothing you can do about it.
"That''s a pity. If you change your mind at any time, you can come to me at any time. I am willing to buy it with 100 silver coins."
After saying that, he handed the talisman back, Wu Heng put the space ring away, stood up and said, "Thank you very much."
"polite!"
Leaving the backyard, there are still many guests in the front hall.
The previous clerk came over quickly and respectfully sent him out of the store.
…
Walk out of the shop.
Wu Heng did not leave immediately.
After walking along the street for a while, I walked into a pub on the side of the road.
There were not many guests at this time. On the wooden steps, a human bard was loudly telling the great detective story in the newspaper.
Wrentam City also sells newspapers and publishes detective stories.
But the progress of the story is one version slower than that of Treasure Island, and it is still in the second case stage.
"Master Wu Heng is so smart, I feel like I''m going to fall in love with him."
"Stop making trouble, we orcs and humans can''t get along."
"I don''t care about this. I can accept him being ugly."
Wu Heng raised his head and glanced at the female orc who was speaking. She was nearly three meters tall, with green skin and huge fangs.
The wine glass with a thick mouth was poured into the mouth in large gulps.
The muscles in her arms are almost as thick as her maid''s waist, and she is as strong as a bodybuilding coach handing out flyers.
Good guy, the aesthetics of orcs and humans are really different.
He withdrew his gaze and did not pay attention to the orcs chatting opposite him.
Opened the panel and took a look.
[Level: Level 19 (598537/355000)]
[Fame: Level 19 (13837/66000)]
The experience value has almost doubled, and the reputation has just reached 13,000.
Luntam City should have contributed a lot to the subsequent increase in reputation.
But the distance to upgrade is still far behind, and we need to continue to find ways to improve.
He drank all the wine in the glass, left the tavern directly, and called a carriage to return to the city lord''s palace.
…
Return to the city lord''s mansion.
Wen Mansha was still in the lobby, giving tasks to the leaders in the city.
Wu Heng didn''t bother her either.
Say hello to the housekeeper and go directly upstairs.
After coaxing the child for a while in the baby''s room, he returned to the study and took out the talisman.
Today I went to the prop shop to ask about talismans. Although I didn''t understand the matter clearly, I still gained something.
It is confirmed that the materials used have certain effects.
The patterns on the talisman are very likely to be matching.
When the time comes, I will ask someone to contact the main station and ask about the materials used to draw the talisman, and then study it.
The second point is the inspiration of the magic scroll.
Rather than thinking it was a rune pattern, the middle-aged man said the magic scroll was closer to a talisman. They were both drawn and recorded on scrolls or paper.
"You should ask a scholar who specializes in magic scrolls for advice."
"No, I''m a member of the Hongwen Club. I''m going outside to ask for advice."
After thinking for a moment, he opened the door and walked downstairs.
The location of the side hall.
Hartle, the housekeeper, was directing the skeleton to move some furniture outside.
The last time I came here, there were still a few maids in the City Lord''s Mansion, but after coming here this time, all the maids in the City Lord''s Mansion have been replaced by skeletons.
"Sir!" Hartle saluted.
Wu Heng said: "Harter, go get a piece of letter paper and an envelope and send them to the study."
"Okay, sir."
Wu Heng returned to the study, sat at the desk and waited for a while. Harter knocked on the door and walked in, "Sir, the envelope and letter paper are ready."
"Wait for me for a moment. It will be sent to the association later." "Yes, sir." Harter stood straight to the side and looked here.
Wu Heng frowned and thought for a moment before starting to write a letter.
The letter was written to ‘Claudio’, the leader of the Hongwen Society. He first reported on the recent development of Treasure Island and thanked the Hongwen Society for providing public lectures on the island and helping the islanders’ career advancement.
Then he mentioned magic scrolls and professional scrolls.
I am more interested in this aspect and would like to borrow some books to increase my knowledge.
At the end, he wrote that he would return to Treasure Island, and any letters could be mailed directly to Treasure Island.
To avoid leaving Luntam City later, mail it directly here.
After finishing writing, Wu Heng re-checked the above content.
Confirm it is correct and seal with hot wax.
"Harter!" Wu Heng looked up and saw the housekeeper looking at him.
The two looked at each other, and Harter immediately responded, "Master."
"Send it to the association and have them mail it directly."
"Yes, sir." Hartle picked up the letter and left quickly.
…
afternoon.
Glenda came back and said, "Benny is still watching over there, but so far, no one has contacted them, and no one has sent any information."
It''s been a day, and these people still have no information.
"Did you find anything else?" Wu Heng then asked.
Glenda thought for a moment and answered, "There are only two possibilities. One is that there is no mission to be assigned to them, and the second is that the killing of those five people has been exposed, and the mission will not be assigned."
Basically the same as what Wu Heng thought.
These people must be people arranged by the Kingdom of Yeke, there is no doubt about this.
The rest is why there is no connection behind the scenes.
Wu Heng continued, "The second possibility is more likely."
"Why?" Glenda asked.
"You searched such a large area in the city and found this small team. The number is too small. They should know that we are investigating this matter again and the original characteristics have changed." Wu Heng said.
"What about these ones we''re staring at?"
"Maybe they didn''t have time to notify them, or maybe they were released for us to catch and kill." Wu Heng said directly.
"It''s possible!" Glenda nodded, "Are these people still watching?"
"We''ll keep an eye on it for now. If there aren''t any clues tomorrow, we''ll find a way to lure them out."
"Okay, I''ll go keep an eye on Beni and let you know if there''s any news."
"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Heng said with a smile.
Glenda smiled at him, "We don''t feel the hardship."
After saying that, he turned around and left in the distance.
Continue to sit in the study, thinking about how to find these people.
From the door came Hart''s voice calling him to eat.
He got up and left the study and walked out directly.
During dinner, Wu Heng and Wen Mansha talked about this matter again.
Patrols began to gradually increase in the city.
Wu Heng is also trying to find a way to find the other party.
…
In the blink of an eye, two more days passed.
During the past two days, the ghosts stared at the few people they had discovered before, while also searching for other suspicious targets in the city.
But the other party seemed to not exist at all, and no useful clues were found.
Moreover, in order to give the impression that they were unaware of the existence of these people, they did not dare to let the guards conduct a large-scale search.
So as not to alert the enemy.
Two days passed like this.
Late at night today, when there were no more pedestrians on the road, a convoy escorted by more than a dozen skeletons slowly left the city from the east gate.
After passing through the outer area of ??the city, they took a roundabout way and started heading towards the Kingdom of Yeko.
And just after this convoy left the outer area of ??the city.
Figures one after another also walked out of the surrounding buildings.
After identifying the direction, teams of five people left the city one after another and followed the direction of the convoy.
"Go this way, those skeletons have taken a detour, we can stop them by rushing over."
Wow~!
Everyone ran directly through the woods to catch up with the carriage.
Soon, I saw a convoy that was not very fast.
"Kill~!" A roar was issued.
Everyone rushed out of the dense forest and rushed towards the skeleton escorting the goods.
After some killing.
The skeletons all fell to the ground, and one of them lifted the oilcloth on the carriage, revealing arrows and some leather fodder underneath.
"What do they do with these?"
"Whatever! Burn it, and then we go back."
Soon, the fire broke out and there was a crackling sound all around.
"Come on, let''s go back."
Afraid that the fire would attract the guards, everyone left quickly.
…
City Lord''s Mansion.
Wu Heng was sitting in the study, and Penny flew back from outside.
He said directly: "Those people did follow him out of the city. Mrs. Glenda secretly killed one of them, took over his body and followed him away."
"good."
