Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse

A ghost ship? And a letter for help?

Wu Heng glanced at the ghost who was also listening nearby.

I was just discussing the ghost ship with two ghosts, and it turned out that Xilagui called about this.

"Is this the ghost ship you told me about a few days ago?"

"Yes! A ship docked last night and everyone on the ship went crazy. We used a scroll on the captain to wake him up and asked him about the situation." Xilagui paused for a moment and continued, "They encountered a ghost ship and were trapped in the fog for about half a month."

Wu Heng narrowed his eyes, "So, there really is a ghost ship in the Emerald Sea?"

As he spoke, he took out the [Emerald Sea Sand Table] from his space ring and carefully looked at every spot in the sand table. There was no sign of any ghost ship or strange ship.

No ghost ship was seen.

Or maybe there is some pirate ship or some other vessel disguised as a ghost ship, planning something.

One thought after another emerges from the heart.

"I feel like there should be. Come over here first and let's discuss it." Xilagui's voice continued to come from the phone.

"Okay, I'll go over now." Wu Heng replied.

He hung up the call and put the phone back in his pocket.

The two ghosts were still floating on one side. Bernie said, "Look, everyone on the ship that docked at the port last night went crazy, and you still don't believe it."

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust those sailors." Wu Heng said as he started to change his clothes.

Benny also said: "In fact, I also doubt it. How did the whole boatload of people get here if they were crazy?"

Wu Heng put on his clothes and walked out, with the two ghosts following behind him.

"You guys are coming out with me too?"

Ever since he became a hero, ghosts no longer follow him as always, except for some special circumstances.

Now I spend more time busy with my own things.

After all, with Wu Heng's current strength, not everyone can threaten him.

Glenda said, "Listen to the ghost ship."

"Yes, I'll follow you to take a look." Benny also said.

"Okay!" Wu Heng didn't say much and went out directly.

Back in Shannara's bedroom, the plump wood elf, with sleepy eyes, was wearing a burgundy silk nightgown and sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair.

When she saw him come in, she thought he was here to urge her again, so she said, "Okay, I'll be there soon."

Wu Heng stood beside her, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I can't go."

Shannella's head snapped up, her eyes widened, "Reason!"

"We got news from the association that a ship docked last night, and the entire crew went crazy after seeing the ghost ship."

"Ghost ship!" Shannella's eyes lit up. "Go ahead and find out everything. Come back and tell us."

Forehead…….

This attitude changed quite quickly!

Wu Heng hugged her shoulders and said, "When we have time, let's go to church together."

Shannella stood up and went straight back under the covers, waving her hand, "Go ahead and tell Minnie I won't be having breakfast."

Wu Heng glanced at her, opened the door and went downstairs.

After saying hello to the maids, he used [Teleportation] directly to go to the association.

…

Deacon's study.

The two elf sisters were sitting at the desk processing documents.

Xi Lagui frowned and Shi Yali yawned from time to time.

Wu Heng knocked on the door and walked in. The two sisters looked up at the same time.

"What's going on?" Wu Heng sat down aside.

Xilagui walked out from behind the desk and handed him the investigation record from last night. She said, "According to the captain who has regained consciousness, there are three ships in the fleet, and they lost their direction after being shrouded in fog."

After a pause and a glance at him, he continued, "We suspect that the fog carries a negative energy state, which will affect the sense of direction of the creatures in the fog, and will gradually make them lose their minds. Those who go out to sea are all veterans, and normal fog will not force them into this state."

Sailors who go to sea all year round are very good at dealing with various situations at sea.

Moreover, they will be equipped with rangers. If the scope of the fog is not large, the tamed beast will be able to find the direction and will basically not be trapped for such a long time by ordinary fog.

Shi Yali also came over and took out her cell phone, "These are some photos I took last night."

Wu Heng took the photo and looked at it again. The dim cabin was filled with huddled crew members, and the surrounding environment was also...

Like monsters squatting together, gnawing at something.

"Didn't they say there would be three ships? Why did only theirs come out?" Wu Heng asked.

It is clearly written in the records.

The ship drifted to the north and was discovered by a patrol vessel and towed back to the port.

Xi Lagui said: "I don't know. Before he went crazy, the other two were still there. Now they are the only ones out."

"Are there any monsters in the fog?" Wu Heng asked.

Xi Lagui shook her head. "The captain who woke up said he didn't see anything, but he could hear some strange noises, like the sound of sand and gravel rubbing against each other."

There are no monsters.

That’s right, if there was, no one on the ship would survive.

"Where is the ghost ship?" Wu Heng asked.

"He said he saw a ship and the fog moved with the ship. He was also sure that it was a ghost ship." Xilagui answered seriously.

In other words, a ghost ship really appeared in the Emerald Sea.

Whether there was a real ghost or it was pretended by a professional, it did trap people inside for a long time.

“We’ll make it public then, so that all caravans can bypass the fog when they find it, and also find out the approximate location where they are lost.” Wu Heng returned the investigation records from last night to her.

"Okay!" Xilagui said, and then took out a letter from the space ring, "There is another letter, it is a letter from Holt City asking for assistance."

Wu Heng is the flag bearer of the Emerald Sea.

Although he did not do any work related to the flag bearer during his tenure, when some places needed assistance, the flag bearer was needed to coordinate and mobilize.

Otherwise, deacons and deputy deacons in various places are not allowed to leave their garrison areas at will.

This is the association's rule.

After taking the letter and taking a look at it, Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

"What's it written?" asked Xilagui.

Shi Yali also waited for him to speak with curiosity.

Wu Heng handed the letter to her. "It said that an unknown fog was discovered and some ships disappeared after entering it. I am requesting to mobilize personnel with a rank above deacon to assist in the investigation."

Xi Lagui and Shi Yali looked at each other.

It's a bit surprising, but also feels reasonable.

"So, the location of the fog has been determined. It's in the area of ​​'Holt City'." Xilagui said directly.

"Where's Holt?"

"A coastal city in the Celtic Kingdom." Xilagui replied.

The Celtic Kingdom knew the city of Lopez and its Snake Emblem Consortium there, and had been placing long-term orders for skeletons.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, "Is it close to Lopez City?"

"Not far, but it's still a long way to go." Xilagui answered, sat aside and thought for a while, then said, "I'll bring a small team to help."

Shi Yali's eyes narrowed, "Let Wu Heng transfer the nearby deacons over!"

The incident of the fog has caused a lot of uproar, and the local deacons have to ask for help and reinforcements. There must be some danger.

In her opinion, her sister is indeed hardworking, but her current achievements are largely due to Wu Heng's support.

In actual combat and dealing with sudden dangers, he may not have the level of a true deacon.

Wu Heng frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Xi Lagui, you stay here, I'll handle this matter."

"You're going straight over? The Vatican is looking for you..."

Xi Lagui stopped talking midway, carefully glanced at the door, and said in a low voice, "Let's wait for the news from the headquarters!"

"It's okay. It won't take a few days. Besides, Leader Lilith is on the island, so the Vatican won't cause trouble." Wu Heng replied with a smile.

The Emerald Sea could not be found, so the local association requested support.

Obviously this fog is a little special.

Moreover, he also noticed a detail in the information obtained by Xilagui. The fog has the effect of negative energy, which can make people disoriented and crazy.

This made him alert.

His own skill [Breath of Death] turns into a cloud-like state after being released, which will cause the vitality of the living creatures that stay in it for a long time to decay, and their wounds to become infected and rotten.

The mist of the ghost ship is also very similar to the ability of the necromancer.

Is there really a ghost ship, or is it created by someone to slander us? During this period when our headquarters was investigating Treasure Island.

Wu Heng even suspected that the Vatican was responsible.

"Are you sure you want to go over there?" Shi Yali also looked at him.

Wu Heng nodded, "I'll go over and take a look."

"Be careful." Xilagui warned with some concern.

"I'm a hero, there will be no problem." Wu Heng nodded with a smile.

The two sisters were quite confident about his abilities.

He gave a few instructions and didn't say much else.

"Please write me a certificate of assistance and I will bring it over when the time comes." Wu Heng continued.

Shi Yali walked back, started writing the certificate of assistance, then picked up Xi Lagui's seal and stamped it.

After we finished talking about this matter.

Sierra continued, "I remember you have a magical item that can restore people's sanity, and those sailors are still crazy."

The two of them had dealt with the pirate village issue together, and at that time Wu Heng had used a magical item to revive all the mentally disturbed members of the Whisperers.

Xilagui still remembers this strange object.

"Yes." Wu Heng took out the [Staff] and handed it to the other party.

After Xi Lagui took it, she said, "I'll return it to you later."

After saying that, he walked out.

Wu Heng sat in the study and chatted with Shi Yali for a while.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, Xilagui came back from outside and returned the staff to him. "When are you coming?"

"I'll be leaving soon. Don't spread this matter for now. I'll come back and tell you the result, and then I'll announce it to the public." Wu Heng stood up.

"Got it." Xilagui forced a smile and took two steps forward.

Wu Heng held the other person's face and kissed her on the lips.

Shi Yali also came over, and Wu Heng kissed his sister again.

"Okay, I'll come back to find you guys."

"be safe."

Wu Heng nodded and left the study room directly.

…

Return to the Island Owner's Mansion.

Wu Heng gathered all the women in the family together.

He told the whole story of the ghost ship.

After everyone understood, he said, "If Chief Lilith comes looking for me, tell her that I received a letter for help and went to provide support."

"Okay." Minnie nodded and continued, "Master, the fog can trap people. Will you be trapped in it too?"

The others also looked over.

Although Wu Heng is an immortal hero, he is really trapped inside and cannot get out.

It's also a hassle.

"No, I have a magical object that can help me track things. If I really lose my way, I can use it to point me out the direction." Wu Heng replied.

I have thought about this matter myself.

I brought a [Tracking Necklace] with me. When the time comes, I can use the clothes on the maid to point to the direction where I am, and then I can come out directly.

Moreover, he didn't think the fog could trap him.

The hero and the level 20 ghost can control it, and the ship can't get out.

"Oh, that's good." Minnie nodded.

After everything has been explained.

Wu Heng walked to the courtyard, put on the [conductor's hat], and the ghost train appeared in front of him.

He waved to the people behind him and boarded the train directly.

I first wrote the words "Holt City" on the itinerary and waited for a few seconds. The car door did not close.

Prove that the train did not record this location.

All I could do was write "Lopez City", the doors closed, and the train went into the void.

In the afternoon, the train arrived at the outskirts of Lopez City, determined the direction with the guards in the city, and rode motorcycles to the target city.

…

Holt City, local association, meeting room.

On both sides of the long table in the room, many members of the local association were sitting around it. The first one was a human swordsman, in his 40s, with a beard and a resolute face.

Leather armor and boots, and a long sword on the waist.

It was the local deacon, the person responsible for this incident.

The deacon looked at the deputy deacon and the other captains below him, and said solemnly, "The mercenary team that accepted the commission yesterday has not returned. Now the relevant commissions have been withdrawn to prevent more people from going missing. The city lord has also applied for reinforcements from the kingdom, but it will take some time. Do you have any ideas?"

The mercenary team that was sent to explore the fog yesterday has not returned yet.

In order to avoid further losses, the commission issued by the association was also withdrawn.

On both sides of the conference table sat the local deputy deacon and a group of captains. One of them said, "These few times of entering have not been completely fruitless. What is certain is that this fog was indeed released by the ghost ship, and it is not the skill of some professional."

Another person said, "Let's not talk about things that have already been confirmed. Several of the famous mercenary groups in the city are trapped inside. This is also a loss for us."

"Deacon, I think we should ask the headquarters for a tool that can identify directions or restrain the fog."

"According to the procedure, we should at least wait until Treasure Island has made arrangements before applying to the headquarters for props."

"It's already so late. Judging from the speed of the fog, it will probably reach the coast by then. The losses will only be greater by then."

Everyone was talking in low voices, and a few with bad tempers had already turned their discussions into quarrels.

The deacon took a deep breath, slapped the table vigorously, and asked, "How many days has it been since the letter was sent to Treasure Island?"

A female captain replied, "Deacon, according to the time, if everything goes well, the fleet should have just arrived at Treasure Island yesterday."

Just arrived yesterday!

Why is it so slow!

One of the deputy deacons said, "Deacon, you can ask the deacons of the nearby city associations for help. Some surrounding support, it shouldn't be a problem to report back afterwards."

The deacon was in deep thought and was about to speak.

There was a gentle knock on the door of the conference room, and everyone stopped talking immediately.

"Come in!" the assistant said.

The door was opened a crack, and a staff member poked his head in and said, "Deacon, someone from Treasure Island has come. They say they are members of the association who are here to assist with the investigation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room turned to look over there at the same time.

So fast?

Didn’t they say it was just delivered to Treasure Island yesterday?

What kind of communication method was used, or did someone intercept the letter?

"Please let him in!"

The door was pushed open, and a hooded figure wearing leather armor and a wizard's robe walked in.

"This is the letter I came here to help."

The figure who came in handed the letter with the association's seal to the other party.

The deacon took it, took a look, and stamped it with the seal of the deacon of Treasure Island, confirming that the person was indeed from Treasure Island.

After reading the letter, he looked up at the other person again.

He came here alone, and from the sound of his face, he didn't look very old.

Who is this person transferred here?

"You yourself?" The local deacon frowned, his tone somewhat dissatisfied.

It's obviously such an important matter.

Surprisingly, only one person was arranged to come, and he was a young man.

The person on the other side did not answer, but took off his hood, revealing his original face.

The dissatisfied discussions behind him stopped abruptly and everyone looked at him.

Black hair and black eyes?

The owner of Treasure Island?

He asked for support himself, but unexpectedly he also called the flag bearer of the Emerald Sea.

The local deacon looked at him with a little curiosity. He was the young man who had the most news and rumors about him in the entire Emerald Sea area.

The deputy deacons and captains sitting at the conference table also started to talk, expressing their curiosity and surprise.

The local deacon collected the letter of assistance and said, "I am the deacon, Zachley."

"Wu Heng, the flag bearer of the Emerald Sea."

really!

Everyone nodded. There was no one else who looked like this in the Emerald Sea.

The letter for help mentioned that deacons or veteran professionals were needed for support.

As for Wu Heng, according to rumors from outside, his rank is uncertain.

Judging from some rumors and newspaper reports, he must be above level 15. After all, the newspaper reported that he defeated Prince Luan.

"The Island Master of Wuheng arrived earlier than expected." Zachli's tone also became polite.

This kind of person has an immeasurable future and will definitely become an elder in the future.

There is no need to leave a bad impression on others.

"I used some methods to hurry up." Wu Heng said vaguely, and asked directly: "Tell me about the situation here!"

"Okay, please take a seat." The deacon gestured with his hand, and then got straight to the point, "There has been a fog at sea recently..."

"I know about the fog. Do you have any clues?" Wu Heng interrupted the other party and started from the beginning.

The deacon nodded and said solemnly, "There is a ship in the fog. There are enemies similar to iron golems on the ship. They will attack ships that approach. This is the only information about the situation inside. It was provided by someone who got out by chance. The fog is still expanding. None of the mercenaries who entered last night have come out."

In addition to ships, there are also iron golems.

The association's iron golem is a second-level reward, and its corresponding level is also level 12.

No wonder support from deacons and above is needed.

"Why are you letting people in?" Wu Heng asked.

"The commission has been revoked."

The deacon continued, "Master Wu Heng, do you have a tool to identify the direction? If we just rush in, we may also be in danger of being trapped."

Wu Heng said: "I have a magical item that can tell the direction. Go and prepare it. We will enter the fog soon."

"Today? So urgent?"
