Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.
Chapter 858, I have money now (1 update today.)
The chambers of commerce that transport goods outward also gradually transported the goods to their respective sales locations.
Long queues formed in front of sales points of people from all countries and races to buy the pills and discuss news about the pills.
"It says that the person who improved the potion into pills was an island owner, and he himself is not an alchemist."
"The owner of Treasure Island has never heard of this island."
"The fountain pens and watches that were popular among the aristocracy before were also invented by him."
"It also says that the reason for his improvement is to help ordinary professionals who don't have space rings."
"Forget it. He just wants to brag about himself, but you believe him. Just by listening to the name of his island, you can tell that he is a profit-seeking person."
"I feel pretty good. The pills are easier to carry and the price has come down, which is good for us."
"I think this island owner is a good person, at least much better than other businessmen."
People are used to hearing propaganda from big names, but this time is different.
The pills were in my hand, and they worked just as advertised, easy to carry and the price was significantly reduced.
Buying one box will be enough for your family to use for a long time.
It’s hard to say whether he is a good person or not, but those who bought the pills did feel the benefits.
It's not the empty propaganda as before.
……
At the same time, the original territory of the second prince of the Yeko Kingdom.
Officials of the city of Rentam began to enter management, and the skeleton army took over the garrison and main defense positions.
As time went on, people became more familiar with skeletons and were no longer as frightened of them as they were at the beginning.
On the street, a bard stood on a wooden box, holding a great detective book in his hand and telling the story in it aloud.
The crowd gathered below, whispering and guessing about the murderer.
Some people also discussed whether Wu Heng and Watson in the story really solved each case.
……
Treasure Island, the island owner’s mansion.
Wu Heng was half lying on the recliner, watching the scene in front of him change.
[Level: Level 19 (4257534/355000)]
[Reputation: Level 19 (64733/66000)]
During these two days, his reputation began to rise rapidly.
It directly increased from more than 50,000 to 65,000.
It's no wonder that the second batch of pills has been shipped to various places and is being sold.
The initial growth was very rapid, but now it is starting to slow down.
“I wonder if I can reach level 20 before the Vatican comes.” Wu Heng muttered in a low voice.
At this time, Glenda and Benny flew back from outside.
"The church has increased the frequency of ringing its bells, so the patrolling skeletons have to avoid the church and go around it." Benny said in a deep voice.
Granda said, “They must have received a letter from the Vatican, which gave them confidence.”
After being beaten up by Skeleton Shining, the church was indeed safe for a while.
The frequency of ringing the bell was suddenly increased today. It must be the news from the Vatican investigation team that gave them confidence.
"It's okay, I'll take care of it later." Wu Heng said.
Granda continued, "The stalemate with the Holy See has also had an impact on Treasure Island. There are basically no Chamber of Commerce representatives visiting, and even the number of tourists visiting the island has decreased significantly."
In the past, the island owner's mansion always welcomed some visitors.
No matter they are dignitaries, wealthy merchants or representatives, they will make a special trip to the island owner's mansion after arriving on the island.
Ever since the conflict with the Holy See intensified, not many people have come.
Wu Heng was not surprised and said, "Everyone is afraid of attracting the attention of the Holy See. No one wants to cause this trouble."
"I feel like the people in the Vatican are really annoying now." Benny muttered.
Granda smiled and said, "You didn't know Wu Heng a long time ago. If you knew him a long time ago, you would have made enemies with the Holy See."
Wu Heng rolled his eyes at her, feeling that she was going to slander him again.
Then he said, "Once the matter of the Holy See is resolved, everything will be restored. Don't worry."
"Well, it's mainly you. We have enough money to spend, so don't worry." Glenda comforted in a rare soft voice.
Penny also said, "You will surpass them sooner or later."
Wu Heng nodded, "Don't worry."
Seeing that the two souls had nothing new to say, Wu Heng also stood up and walked towards the living room.
Pick up the phone and dial the association's number.
After two rings, Xilagui's voice came over, "Hey!"
"It's me." Wu Heng continued, "Ask Xi Lagui to arrange for someone to go to the church and tell them that if their broken bell rings again, I will tear it down for them."
"Okay, I'll go and coordinate." Xilagui said directly.
After hanging up the phone, both ghosts gave a thumbs up and said, "You are quite courageous today."
……
Another day passed.
More than half a month has passed since the island owner arrested the clergy of the Vatican.
Neither the Island Owner's Mansion nor the Association has a complete announcement on how to convict the Vatican.
Of course, the local residents were not surprised by this. It was unusual for the guards to arrest both sides when a conflict broke out between high-ranking clergy of the Vatican and ordinary residents.
If it were somewhere else, these priests would have been released long ago, and there would be no need to investigate right or wrong.
However, early this morning, some special gossip began to circulate.
Spread rapidly.
"Have you heard that a necromancer's experimental base has been discovered on the island, and it's on a very large scale."
"Everyone is talking about this. I don't know where it came from. It's said that it's related to the island owner, who secretly purchased people for experiments."
"Could it be that Wu Heng is secretly using the island as an experimental base? No wonder the Church is targeting him so much."
"It must be fake. The potion auction is being held on the island. The leaders of the association and high-level professionals from all over the country are here. If you were a necromancer, would you build an experimental base and invite people to visit at the same time?"
The discussion suddenly quieted down.
Yes, the chiefs come to the island and stay for several days.
No one with a normal brain would do this, let alone a great detective!
"What you said makes sense."
"I definitely believe the island owner, but I wonder how this news came about."
After Wu Heng became the island owner, the changes in the entire Treasure Island were obvious to all.
It has also truly changed the lives of everyone on the island. When the locals mention the island owner, their words are full of pride.
It was as if they themselves had built the island into this state.
Naturally, no one wants to believe that there is really a problem on the island.
But people are always suspicious, and when news spreads on such a large scale, people start to doubt whether there is really a problem.
……
Church, inside the hall.
Archbishop Euan sat behind the desk, with a group of local clergy below him.
A priest stepped out and said indignantly, "Archbishop, rumors of the necromancy experiment base are spreading all over the island. Coupled with the strange skeleton we saw, it is certain that he is conducting necromancy experiments in private."
Someone followed up, "The necromancer is an evil profession. Studying the corresponding field for a long time will make his heart darker and he will ignore life. We should control him directly."
"And as for the last incident, our people are still locked up in the dungeon."
"The local deacon is so weak and incompetent that she actually got close to the necromancer. She will be held accountable afterwards."
The hall was in chaos, with everyone expressing their dissatisfaction with the island owner and the local deacon.
At this moment, the door opened and a servant walked in quickly, approaching the archbishop's ear.
As the other party spoke, the archbishop's expression began to show joy.
After saying this, the attendant stepped aside.
The archbishop tapped the ground twice with the wooden staff in his hand, and the hall instantly became quiet.
He glanced at everyone, smiled, and said, "The church's fleet has arrived. Follow me to the port to welcome them. Tell those who remain in the church that they can come out now."
Everyone showed joy and nodded in response.
Before leaving, the archbishop said: "By the way, ring the bell!"
Boom~!
The bell rang and spread instantly.
……
Island owner's mansion.
Wu Heng held the phone and heard Mackintosh's voice on the other end, "Sir, we have investigated and found out that it was a port labor gang that spread the news. Someone paid them to spread the news. We are now tracking down the person who issued the commission."
This morning, news about the Undead Experiment Base began to spread on the island.
Wu Heng also heard some news.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In fact, there is no need to check. Those who emphasize the necromancy experiments must be paving the way for the Vatican investigation team.
"No need to investigate, just detain the management of that labor gang." Wu Heng said directly.
"Understood." McIntosh said, and then suddenly fell into a brief silence, and then said, "Sir, the Vatican's fleet appeared on the sea, a total of five large ships."
Sure enough, the news of the necromancy experiment spread on the island, and the Vatican’s fleet appeared soon after.
"I understand. I will arrange people to deal with them." Wu Heng said directly.
"Yes, sir," McIntosh paused, then continued, "Be careful."
"Well, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng leaned on the edge of the table, narrowed his eyes, and directly opened the panel.
【Reputation: Level 19 (65642/66000).】
There is still more than 300 reputation points left.
Almost there.
I don’t know if the heroes of the Vatican are on the ship.
If not.
If I could stall them for a few days, I would almost be a hero.
……
association.
The room where the Vatican knights were imprisoned was just like a separate lounge.
The room was clean and tidy, with only one guard guarding the door.
It’s more like guarding here than keeping an eye on it. He is a level 18 knight, and only Wu Heng can stop him on the entire island.
Inside the room, the Vatican knight, dressed in blue casual clothes, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
At this moment, I suddenly opened my eyes and saw a sparrow standing in the window.
Then he spoke in human language, "Sir, the Holy Temple Investigation Team has arrived. The Archbishop asked you to handle the matters here and then go to the port to meet the fleet."
Having said this, without waiting for a reply, the sparrow seemed to have lost its soul.
It looked around in confusion, squeaked twice, and flew towards a tree in the distance.
Looking at the sparrow flying away, a smile appeared on the face of the Vatican Knight.
The investigation team is here.
The good days of Treasure Island and Wu Heng are over.
He simply packed up his things and walked out.
Walk towards the dungeon in the distance.
……
Dungeon entrance.
The guard on duty stood up suddenly and looked vigilantly at the burly man who suddenly appeared.
After carefully examining his face, his expression became even uglier.
A Vatican knight who was imprisoned a few days ago for attacking the island owner.
How did he get here?
The two men swallowed, saluted and said, "Sir Knight."
The Holy See Knight nodded with satisfaction. "This Knight suddenly thought of some details that need to be interrogated. During this period, no one is allowed to approach here, otherwise they will be punished with the same crime."
After saying that, he walked directly in.
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them ran outside quickly.
They can't handle this matter.
Also notify the deacon as soon as possible.
No, we need to inform the island owner.
Only the island owner can stop the other party.
……
The Vatican knight covered his mouth and nose and walked in the corridor of the dungeon.
After walking for some distance.
He stood in front of a door, exerted a little force, the door opened, and he walked straight in.
Glancing at the room and the slovenly man on the iron bed, he smiled and said, "You are quite adaptable to the environment."
Fear appeared in the sloppy man's eyes. He swallowed and stood up with difficulty. "My lord, what do you want?"
"Let me see what someone who dares to slander a member of the Holy See looks like."
The sloppy man shuddered and took a half step back. "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. I just said what I know. If you are not satisfied with it, I will definitely change it. Please don't be angry with me."
The Vatican Knight took two steps forward.
The scruffy man's face changed drastically, and he shouted outside: "Guard, where is the guard?"
"You should really thank Wu Heng. At least he let you live for so many more days." As he said that, the Vatican Knight took out a hemp rope, and with a flick of his wrist, it was wrapped around his neck, gradually tightening. "He teamed up with the necromancer, trafficked people for him for experiments, was discovered by the Vatican, and hanged himself. What do you think of this script?"
"Do you think that great detective will avenge you?"
The sloppy man struggled violently, but the difference in rank made it impossible for him to break free no matter how hard he tried.
Then, his eyes bulged and his tongue stuck out little by little.
In the last moment of life, the past life flashed through the mind quickly over and over again.
Then he walked out of the dungeon.
He was given a large bounty by the generous island owner, Mrs. MacIntosh, who also praised him for a difficult task.
Holding the money, he walked towards home.
This road, which I have walked countless times, feels particularly long today.
Bang Bang Bang ~!
He knocked hard on the door.
The door opened, the man smoothed his hair and smiled, "I have money now, I said I can live a good life..."
The corpse stopped struggling.
The Vatican knight cast a spell, took out a written confession letter from his arms, and stuffed it into the arms of the corpse.
……
I don’t know how long it was before a loud noise broke the silence.
Xilagui rushed into the dungeon wearing armor and holding a long sword.
Following behind him were two deputy deacons, a group of team members, as well as investigator and assistant Shi Yali.
The investigator followed at the end, panting heavily due to his clerical duties, holding onto the wall and breathing heavily.
When several people walked into the cell, their faces changed.
In the dim room, there was a dead body hanging.
Xilagui took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Investigator, record it truthfully! The Vatican knight broke into the association's prison and left. The witness died."
