Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse

Wood Elves are the most outstanding in the research of plant-based potions among all races.

It can be said that all races who want to increase food production purchase potions from the Wood Elves.

Previously, in order to allow the zombie world to grow its own food, Wu Heng communicated with the Wood Elves to purchase the formula, offering them any conditions they wanted, and guaranteeing that he would not sell the potions and food to outsiders.

However, the Wood Elves never agreed, only promising to increase the supply of food potions.

Now the Wood Elves are taking the initiative to bring up this matter.

Wu Heng's mind raced, and he came up with two points.

First, in the conflict between himself and the Holy See, the Wood Elves played the role of a fence-sitter, and they also knew that Wu Heng would not be satisfied with their decision.

Two thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

He looked up at the other party again, and then said: "Golden Silver Island doesn't need the formula right now."

The Fifth Elder's smile froze.

He didn't seem to expect Wu Heng to refuse so decisively.

A few months ago, Golden Silver Island was very eager to get the formula from the Wood Elves.

Silence fell in the room.

Shanaila glanced at both sides and said to the Fifth Elder: "We all know what role the Holy See has played in the Wood Elves for so many years. If relying on them could bring prosperity to the race, we wouldn't have waited until today."

"On the contrary, in the past two years, the cooperation between Star Flower and Golden Silver Island has allowed a large number of goods to be sold."

She spoke euphemistically.

But she was also stating one thing.

If the Holy See had been helpful to the Wood Elves, they would have become strong long ago, and they wouldn't have waited until today.

Being on good terms with Wu Heng is the most beneficial situation.

The Fifth Elder smiled bitterly and said: "Of course we know these things, but with the strength of the Wood Elves, there is no way to antagonize the ruling leader."

He took a deep breath, then stood up and bowed to Wu Heng, "Leader Wu Heng, the Wood Elves have come with sincerity. In the future, if you have any needs, the Wood Elves will fully cooperate with you."

Wu Heng fell into thought, pondered for a while, and then said, "I plan to build a church on Golden Silver Island. Do you have any suggestions?"

The Fifth Elder looked a little puzzled, glanced at Shanaila, and then turned back, "What do you need? We are willing to support anything we can offer."

Seeing that the other party still didn't understand what he meant.

He said directly, "The land developed on Golden Silver Island is limited. Next year, I plan to build more than 50 churches."

The Fifth Elder raised his eyebrows, stood in place and pondered for a while, and said: "I can represent the Wood Elves and promise to build 10 churches for you within the territory of the Wood Elves."

"30 churches," Wu Heng said.

The Fifth Elder shook his head, "Leader, I can't promise you that many. I still need to return to the Elder Council for discussion, and the time may be delayed for a long time."

"20 churches, and the construction site cannot be smaller than a town-level scale," Wu Heng said.

"Okay, I can represent the Wood Elves and agree to you," the Fifth Elder agreed very readily.

Wu Heng looked behind him, "Minnie, go prepare an agreement."

"Yes," Minnie left quickly, and when she returned, she brought out the prepared agreement.

The content was also very simple, building 20 churches within the territory of the Wood Elves within one year.

The two of them looked at the agreement and signed it.

The Wood Elf Elder also breathed a sigh of relief.

The signing of the agreement also represented that the relationship between the two parties had eased.

After the agreement was signed, the Fifth Elder continued, "The matter of the Alchemy Research Institute...?"

Wu Heng said: "I will set up a research institute on the island. When the time comes, you can arrange for relevant personnel to come over."

"Okay, we will let the alchemists in the clan come over then," the Fifth Elder said with a smile.

The topic afterwards became much easier.

The two talked about the affairs of the island and the sales of pills in the Wood Elves for a period of time.

They sat until noon.

The Fifth Elder then stood up and said: "Leader Wu Heng, then I will go back and write a letter to the Elder Council to implement the agreement we have reached as soon as possible."

Wu Heng nodded and asked at the same time: "Is the Fifth Elder going straight back, or do you plan to live here for a while?"

"I plan to go to the City Hall to take a look and choose a property to buy," the Fifth Elder said.

Shanaila said from the side: "The place I used to live in is now vacant. If the Fifth Elder doesn't mind, you can temporarily live there. The furniture is all complete."

"That's the best. We really have no place to live," the Fifth Elder said with a smile.

Shanaila took out a title deed and the key to the place of residence.

Wu Heng looked at the address on the title deed, which was next door to his original residence.

At that time, he rented a four-story building with a courtyard from the Snake Emblem Consortium, and Shanaila lived next door to him.

It was that property.

After the Fifth Elder put it away, he said: "Leader Wu Heng, then I will go back first."

"Okay, if you have anything, come directly. You can find me or Shanaila. She also has the final say on the island," Wu Heng said.

The Fifth Elder bowed again and turned to leave.

Shanaila said: "I'll take you to your residence, so you won't be unfamiliar with Golden Silver Island."

"Okay!" The Fifth Elder did not refuse.

Wu Heng sent the Wood Elves to the door, and Shanaila and the Fifth Elder and his guards left towards the distance.

......

After walking a distance from the Island Lord's Mansion.

The Fifth Elder said with a smile, "It can be seen that your relationship is indeed good."

Shanaila said: "He was only level 15 when we were together."

There was also some special meaning in her words.

She had bet everything on Wu Heng when he had not yet grown up, but the Elder Council's choice was still hesitant, weighing the pros and cons.

The Fifth Elder was also a little helpless.

Who would have thought that a human would become a hero in such an exaggerated way.

I don't know if Shanaila really saw the other party's potential, or relied on her own luck.

"You have more vision and courage than all of us," the Fifth Elder said with a smile.

Elves and Wood Elves are similar, with more avant-garde thinking than other races.

Although the Elder Council revoked Shanaila's position as president, the reason was not because they did not allow Wood Elves to fall in love with other races.

Shanaila continued, "Will the Great Elder and the others agree to Wu Heng building a church in the territory?"

The Fifth Elder replied: "The Elder Council has already discussed it and will fully support Wu Heng. If it weren't for the fact that the pressure from the Holy See is indeed relatively high, we could directly help him build churches across the board."

Shanaila raised her eyebrows, with some surprise in her eyes.

She knew too well what Wu Heng lacked the most.

He doesn't have his own country, he doesn't have a backer, and it's only because of the special location of Golden Silver Island, plus Wu Heng does have some ideas in business, that he has managed to elevate himself to a hero through trade.

But now that he needs to build a church, the land area of Golden Silver Island is only enough to build one for the time being.

And more will require land, population, and a country or force that allows him to build a church.

That is to say, the Elder Council has already made up its mind to bind itself to Wu Heng.

"Don't worry, we won't be the second Yek Kingdom," the Fifth Elder continued, "If the Yek Kingdom had treated Wu Heng well in the beginning, then that country would have had an exclusive hero."

Unfortunately, since the old king became old, the country has become corrupt beyond recognition.

Shanaila glanced at the other party and continued, "He promised me that as long as the Wood Elves don't do anything excessive, he won't antagonize the Wood Elves. You can reassure the Elder Council!"

"We're mainly relying on you here," the Fifth Elder nodded and said.

Shannara asked again, "I still don't quite understand something. Aren't you afraid the Church will find out about building a church for Wu Heng?"

The Fifth Elder said, "It takes time to build a church, and the Church's warning is about the Star Flower, not matters between sects."

"Will the Church listen to this explanation?"

"That depends on how the headquarters mediates their conflict during this time, as well as the deterrent power of Chief Wu Heng. I believe it shouldn't be difficult, given the Chief's growth rate," the Fifth Elder said, then took out a brocade box from his spatial ring. "This is from the Council of Elders for you. Be careful to protect yourself on the island."

Shannara looked at the gift and said, "Isn't that unnecessary?"

"The Council of Elders approved it. If you don't want it, I'll just keep it for myself," the Fifth Elder said directly.

"Thank you," Shannara said, taking it and storing it directly into her spatial ring.

Then, the two casually chatted about the situation on the island, learning about the specifics of the Pope's previous attack on Golden Silver Island.

They talked as they headed to the arranged residence.

… …

Island Lord's Mansion.

"Master, look at this! A leaf carved out of gold!"

"Wow! This gem is so big!"

"This seems to be a feather. It's quite pretty. I wonder what it's for."

Wu Heng sat in the living room, hearing the maids' shouts from the next room.

Because they lack heroes, wood elves' overall strength and status are inferior to elves, but their heritage and craftsmanship, even their aesthetics and culture, are very similar.

The gifts they sent were naturally exquisite and valuable.

Ignoring the shouts from the next room,

Wu Heng pondered the matter of the wood elves.

The biggest gain this time was the wood elves' willingness to build a church for him.

As for whether the agreement would be torn up by the other party, it would depend on the situation later.

They shouldn't do such a foolish thing.

As he pondered, Bennie and Glenda flew back from outside, and Bennie directly entered his body.

The conversation between the Fifth Elder and Shannara was also shared directly.

After reading it, he released Bennie again.

Bennie said, "It seems that the wood elves did come with a friendly attitude."

Glenda appeared on the other side, "Becoming a hero will make everyone treat you with a friendly attitude."

"Oh my! A philosopher," Wu Heng said in surprise.

Glenda rolled her eyes at him and continued, "Golden Silver Island is still a bit too small. Being connected with the wood elves is a good thing for you."

"Well, I hope everything goes smoothly!" Wu Heng said.

Inside the room, the maids brought out several items to decorate the room.

The two wraiths immediately shut up and hid again.

… …

In the afternoon, Shannara returned from outside.

She changed into a casual outfit and leaned lazily on him.

"Did you handle things with the Fifth Elder?" Wu Heng asked, putting his arm around her shoulders.

"He's staying in that house. If he hadn't brought you so many things, I wouldn't have let him stay there. That place is where we were together," Shannara said, pouting as if disliking the other party.

Wu Heng said, "Why does this Fifth Elder have such heavy dark circles under his eyes?"

"How would I know? He looked like that when I met him," Shannara said, then took out a gift box from her spatial ring and said, "This is a gift from the Council of Elders. I haven't seen what it is yet."

She opened it directly, revealing a circlet woven from vine branches, with a green gemstone embedded in the front.

[Oak Life Crown (Curio)]

[Effects: Healing, Detoxification, Plant Communication, Animal Manipulation.]

[Side Effect: Dependency Addiction.]

(Description: A crown made of oak vine branches, in addition to its own meaning, it also represents the wearer's special status among the wood elves.)

[Dependency Addiction]: Will reach its peak for the dependent creature, and the effect may disappear over time.

Four effects, and they are all quite practical.

The value of this curio has already reached that of a curio that can be exchanged for first-class merit points.

"Oak Crown," Shannara said directly, stating the name.

"You know it?" Wu Heng looked at her.

Shannara said, "It's in the same series as my amber pendant."

She pulled out the amber pendant from the gap in her chest.

Amber pendant!

A big reason why Wu Heng and Shannara were together was the side effect of the amber pendant.

The first person they see when they open their eyes in amber will develop a sense of dependence, and this dependence has turned into love for Shannara.

Of course, Shannara doesn't reject this feeling for Wu Heng.

Looking at the side effect of this crown now, he also understands its meaning.

The dependence in 'Dependency Addiction' corresponds to himself.

It doesn't seem like much of a side effect.

The two of them sleep together every day, what kind of addiction can they develop?

"The effect of this curio is good," Wu Heng said.

Shannara nodded, "It is considered a relatively good curio in our race."

"It seems that the wood elves are indeed very concerned about Golden Silver Island."

Shannara leaned back on him again, "If possible, you should take care of the wood elves more."

"Yeah!" Wu Heng nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Heng went upstairs to return to the study.

Shannara went with the maids to check the gifts that were sent.

… …

Near dusk, Philippa came to the Island Lord's Mansion with a parrot on her shoulder to freeload a meal.

Looking at the gifts all over the floor, she screamed, "Wow! Where did so many good things come from? I haven't seen them even when I was a pirate."

Minnie said, "Don't rummage around, what if you break something?"

"It's not so easy to break, these are all wood elves' things, right? They are really rich," Philippa said, then noticed Shannara looking over and immediately changed her words, "No, I mean, the wood elves' things are really pretty."

Wu Heng also came down from upstairs and said, "Pick a few things you like."

"Really!" Philippa happily started picking.

Dinner was served on the table.

Wu Heng said, "Vier, tomorrow you and Shannara go to the central area to choose a place to be the site for jointly developing potions with the wood elves."

Andr薇儿 looked up and asked, "Are there any requirements for the site?"

Wu Heng looked at Shannara, who said, "There are no special requirements. The site should be spacious, and it's best to have a basement to store materials."

"The materials can be placed in the refrigerator," Wu Heng said.

"Then there are no problems. The location should be quiet, and they need a certain environment for alchemy," Shannara continued.

"Okay." Andr薇儿 also nodded.

After the few people had dinner, the women in the family went to the training room.

… …

The next day, in the morning.

Little was controlling the puppet, holding Wu Heng's hand and walking on the commercial street of the port area.

Wu Heng was dressed as an adventurer, wearing a hood to cover his face, and Little was also dressed as a local child, wearing a hood.

One big and one small, walking along the road.

Except that Little was jumping around and looked like a child at first glance, there was nothing special about them.

He looked up at the sign above and walked directly into a shop on the side.

The shop was a bit deserted.

Seeing the two of them come in, the shop owner glanced at them and said with a smile, "Sir, what do you need? Let me introduce it to you."

"I'm choosing a gift for my mother. She is a minstrel," Little said first.

"We just received a new batch of goods here. Sir and Miss can choose," the owner said with a smile, and walked back to the counter to take out two props.

He introduced, "These are the new goods from our chamber of commerce."
