Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse
#898 - Archaeological Project
“Yes, Chief.” The elven elder adjusted his posture and began to introduce, “The news about this relic has been around for some time. It started with some antiques sent by the local association of ‘Kuder Ha City,’ saying they were some items found by fishermen and along the coast… ….”
The room remained silent, listening to the elven elder's account.
Aside from the initial introduction, the remaining information was much simpler. The location of the relic was on an island. The first archaeological team had set off a long time ago, but there has been no news from them to this day.
Currently, this archaeological team, composed of the Hongwen Society and Seekers, is the second group, led by two elders.
Wu Heng listened and nodded.
Although not explicitly stated, the first archaeological team must have encountered danger.
Even if the news in this world travels slowly, it is impossible that no news has been sent back to this day.
“Chief, these are some records for you to look at.” The elven elder took out some documents and records from his spatial ring.
Wu Heng took them and looked at them, his brows furrowing.
In addition to the patterns that appeared on those puppets, there were also some carvings similar to birds and beasts.
Wu Heng increasingly felt that this was related to the ancient dynasties of his world.
And the reason for the connection between the two worlds was actually easy to deduce.
The bronze key.
This key, which was obviously an ancient craft, was definitely not a modern product.
Wu Heng looked up at the other party and said, “I have read Chief Claudio's letter. He hopes that I will accompany you to avoid any danger.”
Now, he also knew why this team was waiting for him on the island for three days.
The fact that the first archaeological team had not sent back any news made them feel the danger.
If this hero of his could go with them, it would greatly reduce this danger.
The elven elder said, “There were level 18 professionals in the first archaeological team. Since their disappearance, no news has been sent back, so there is indeed a possibility of danger.”
Wu Heng nodded and continued to ask, “How long will it take on the road?”
“If we depart from Gold and Silver Island, it will take about five days, and we need to have enough food and fresh water prepared, without relying on port supplies in between,” the elf replied.
Five days… ….
That's ten days for a round trip, the journey is a bit far.
Not necessarily. After arriving, he could use the Ghost Train to return in advance, as long as he calculated the distance of the journey there.
Wu Heng did not answer immediately, but fell into silent thought.
It was impossible not to be curious about the clues related to his world that appeared in another world.
However, he still had some concerns about leaving with them.
Would his accompanying these people on an archaeological expedition bring any danger to Gold and Silver Island? It was hard to say that the news would reach the ears of the religious leader as soon as he left.
He looked up again and said, “Stay for one more day. I need to confirm the arrangements with the City Hall, and then I will notify you whether or not you want to follow me.”
The dwarven elder of the Seeker stood up abruptly.
But when he met Wu Heng's gaze, his attitude immediately became respectful, and he said, “Lord Chief, we have already delayed a few days beyond the original plan.”
Dwarves are impatient and speak directly.
Shi Yali said from the side, “Elder, do you want Chief Wu Heng to follow you as soon as he hears the news? Doesn't he need time to prepare at all?”
The dwarven elder glared, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it.
Someone behind him tugged at him, and the dwarf sat back down.
Wu Heng glanced at the other party and said, “I will notify you tomorrow whether or not you want to go. You can also prepare everything you need on the island.”
“We await your news,” the elven elder agreed.
Wu Heng also nodded and said, “Let's do this first, go back and prepare!”
The few people saluted and left the meeting room directly.
Wu Heng took the elf sisters and left to return to his study.
… …
Executive Study.
Shi Yali slammed the door shut with a bang, “That dwarf is inexplicable. He wants Wu Heng to go with him directly. Normally, he should give people time to prepare!”
Hilla Kui returned to her seat, “That's how dwarves are. You don't get angry when those dwarves talk to me like that usually.”
Shi Yali's expression froze, and she swallowed back the words that followed.
There is a deputy executive dwarf in the association, and the way he speaks is also quite annoying.
“I'm angry too, all angry.”
After speaking, Shi Yali sat next to Wu Heng, hugging his arm, and asked, “Are you planning to go?”
Wu Heng thought for a while and said, “The only thing I'm worried about is whether the Holy See will do anything to Gold and Silver Island after I leave.”
“They sent two large ships. As long as you leave, the news will definitely spread,” Hilla Kui said, then added, “But it's not a big problem. Chief Lilith is on the island and won't allow this to happen.”
The headquarters is mediating the conflict between the two sides.
If the religious leader comes, Lilith alone is enough to contain him, and the current Pope cannot come and stir up trouble on a small island.
Because the leader of the Hongwen Society is still in the Holy See's sanctuary, he certainly wouldn't let a hero be there and come here to mess with a small island.
As for arranging some high-level professionals to make trouble, it is even more impossible.
Lilith is on the island, and even if they come, their mouths and noses will be sealed, and they will be punished when they go back.
Thinking about it this way, it's not a big problem for him to leave.
Moreover, the maids at home all have tickets to leave directly.
“That makes sense, you're so smart.” Wu Heng praised with a smile.
Hilla Kui blinked, while Shi Yali said, “Can't you not go? Why meddle in this with them?”
Wu Heng said, “I'm also interested in these ancient cultures, and the leader of the Hongwen Society wrote me a letter. He took good care of us before. If I don't go, it will seem a bit unkind.”
“Okay then!” Shi Yali nodded.
Wu Heng pulled out his arm and put it around the other's shoulders, “I'll tell Chief Lilith later and ask her to protect the island.”
Shi Yali leaned in his arms and said leisurely, “We're worried about you.”
“I'm a chief, I won't be in danger.” Wu Heng hugged the other party.
Hilla Kui glanced at the two and warned, “You two, don't mess around here.”
Shi Yali snorted and didn't say much.
Wu Heng said, “I'll go talk to Chief Lilith and see what her opinion is.”
“Okay, whether you go or not, give us a call,” Hilla Kui instructed.
“Yeah.”
Wu Heng got up and released the teleportation technique, and his figure disappeared.
Shi Yali got up, tidied her messy clothes, and said, “These people are so troublesome.”
“It's because you're too clingy to him,” Hilla Kui said.
“By the way, should we mention this to Mom and Dad? He's a hero now, so there shouldn't be any problem.” Shi Yali looked over.
Hilla Kui frowned, “How do we say it? We're good with one person, I can't say it.”
“That's true!”
… …
The magic circle flickered, and Wu Heng's figure appeared at the door of Lilith's mansion.
After knocking lightly on the door, the housekeeper opened the door and came out, his attitude respectful, “Chief Wu Heng!”
“Is Chief Lilith in?”
“She's playing games with Little Miss.” As the housekeeper spoke, he pushed open the door, and Wu Heng walked in directly.
Walking into the living room.
He saw Little and the loli-sized Lilith sitting in front of the TV playing games.
Seeing Wu Heng come in, Little shouted, “Uncle!”
Wu Heng stood behind the two, watching the two characters fighting on the TV.
Little's understanding of the game is obviously stronger than Lilith's. She can use some moves, while Lilith's main attack method is to trip people's feet.
“Little, let the chief win a little.”
Lilith, who was already a little angry about losing, suddenly turned her head and said angrily, “Go, go, don't stand there and affect me.”
Wu Heng sat down in the back, and the housekeeper brought tea.
After taking a sip, he said, "Chief Claudio wrote me a letter, hoping I would accompany the archaeological team to inspect a site."
"They came to the island for this?" Lilith said without turning her head, the characters on TV still squatting and kicking at a high frequency.
"Yeah, but I'm also afraid that something will happen to Treasure Island if I go with them," Wu Heng directly stated his purpose.
"You want me to watch the house for you?"
Wu Heng smiled and said, "I don't trust anyone else, I only trust you, Chief."
"I'm not one of your little maids at home, I don't fall for that," Lilith said calmly.
"Really!" Wu Heng emphasized.
Lilith continued, "I heard you prepared a motorcycle for Xiao Xiao? One that a child can ride?"
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, "I prepared two for you too, they're especially good-looking. When you take Xiao Xiao out to play, it's safer to ride something like that."
Lilith glanced at him, "Come back early, I can't always watch this place for you."
"Understood," Wu Heng agreed.
Now he could see that Lilith was the easiest to talk to.
The two of them stopped talking, Xiao Xiao shouting things like 'Watch me combo!'
Soon, the battle on TV ended, and Lilith lost.
Hearing the laughter from behind, Lilith suddenly turned her head and looked at Wu Heng, who was secretly giving Xiao Xiao a thumbs up, "Can you even play this game?"
"No!"
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
"Come on, let's fight."
Xiao Xiao gave up her seat and sat aside.
Wu Heng sat in front and began to fight Lilith.
Lilith stared wide-eyed, watching her character in the air being beaten until her health bar was empty.
"Wow! Uncle is so awesome," Xiao Xiao said.
Lilith's eyes widened, her eyes filled with anger and disbelief.
As she spoke, she was about to pounce on him and tear him apart.
Wu Heng immediately said, "I only know how to play with this one character, I won't know how to play later."
As if to verify his statement, his character was defeated by Lilith later.
"Chief is really amazing," Wu Heng said with a smile.
Lilith glared at him playfully, then said to Xiao Xiao, "Let's play something else."
"Okay!"
Wu Heng was squeezed out again, got up and said, "Chief, I'm going back first. I'm setting off with the ship tomorrow, help me watch the house."
Lilith waved her hand, indicating that she understood.
......
Leaving the residence.
Granda and Bennie flew over from the direction of the association.
"That dwarf elder and elf elder talked alone for a while. Whether you follow or not, they will leave tomorrow morning. We didn't find anything else," Granda said.
After the meeting ended, the two wraiths went to investigate intelligence to determine if these people had any other purposes.
Bennie also said, "I went to the ships in the port and didn't find anything special. The things they were discussing were also related to this site."
Wu Heng nodded, "Looks like there's no problem."
Granda then asked, "Are you going to follow?"
"I agreed with Lilith, she will take care of Treasure Island. Let's go and come back quickly," Wu Heng said.
"Lilith is pretty good to you," Bennie said with a smile.
Granda said from the side, "Besides leveling up, he's best at handling relationships with women."
Bennie nodded in agreement, "Yeah."
"I'm going to sue you two for slander!" After hearing their conversation, Wu Heng released the teleportation spell and returned to the Island Lord's Mansion.
......
At dinner time.
Wu Heng told the women in his family about the news that he was leaving with the archaeological team.
Regarding this decision, none of them had any objections.
After all, Wu Heng has now become the chief, and there will basically be no danger.
Wu Heng also told them that if something happens, call him. If there is danger, immediately use the tickets to leave, don't feel bad about the tickets, he has plenty.
The maids and Shanaila also agreed.
Night fell.
The bedroom door was knocked on, and Philippa, wearing a light-colored long dress, walked in directly, sat down by the bed, and said, "Let me go with you!"
Wu Heng reached out and put his hand on her leg, and said, "Your level is too low."
"Who are you looking down on? I have a lot of sailing experience, and their ships are not as fast as ours," Philippa continued.
Wu Heng was also thinking about this matter. Although the other party's fleet is large, it is still not as good as his own ships.
Seeing him hesitate, Philippa continued, "Please, I will definitely listen to you when I go, and I can take care of you."
"You take care of me?"
"Really, I will be honest, I will hide in your mansion and promise to be obedient," Philippa swore.
"Alright then! Tomorrow you will drive a battleship and go with us."
"Yay!" Philippa clenched her fist and waved, then took off her long skirt and got into the quilt, "It's dark, I won't go back."
At this time, the door opened, and Shanaila walked in, looking at the two of them, "Someone's here today?"
After speaking, she closed the door and was about to leave.
Wu Heng said, "Captain Philippa, capture the wood elf rich woman, I want to interrogate her strictly."
"Yes!" Philippa shouted, ran out and hugged Shanaila who was about to leave.
She dragged her to the bed.
......
The next day, the port.
The two headquarters ships docked at the port were making final preparations.
The workers lined up, stepping on the gangplank to carry supplies to the ship.
The dwarf elder looked at the direction of the island and said, "It seems that Chief Wu Heng is not planning to come."
The elf elder looked at the time, "Not everyone is interested in archaeology and ruins. We will leave after the goods are moved."
"Well, it's just a waste of so many days for nothing," the dwarf leader said.
The elf elder smiled, "It's not a waste of time. Didn't they buy a lot of things on the island? They can earn some money by selling them when they go back."
The dwarf said with a smile, "I have to say, this island is really amazing."
As he spoke, a huge horn sounded from the rear of the ship.
The people on the ship were shocked and looked in horror at the huge, strange iron ship that suddenly appeared.
On the contrary, the workers who worked in the Treasure Island port all year round just glanced at it and continued to work.
At this time, someone came over and said, "Elder, someone on the ship is signaling with flags, saying to follow the ship."
The two elders frowned, and the elf elder said, "Ranger, let the beastmaster board the ship to see the situation."
A falcon landed on the iron ship, and through shared vision, said, "Elder, Island Lord Wu Heng is on the ship. He will take the Treasure Island ship and let our fleet get ready, then we can go to the ruins."
The expressions of the two elders were joyous. The dwarf elder urged, "Quick, speed up the transportation."
The elf elder said, "Signal with flags, let them wait a moment, we can set off soon."
The personnel on the ship accelerated the speed.
Half an hour later, the ships set off and left together towards the distance.
......
Whoosh~!
The skeletal flying dragon landed on the deck, and Philippa led the wood elves from the archaeological team, jumped off the dragon's back.
She lightly knocked on the door of the cabin and walked in directly.
"Chief Wu Heng."
The wood elf saluted respectfully.
"Sit down," Wu Heng gestured.
"Thank you!" The wood elf sat down.
The wood elf sat down to the side, looking at the layout of the cabin with some curiosity.
Unlike their ship, this place looked no different from a room, and it didn't shake so much.
Handing the other party a bottle of mineral water, Wu Heng asked, "I want to ask you about something."
"Please speak, Chief."
"Are sites like this common in archeology?" Wu Heng asked.
The wood elf pondered for a moment, and said, "Very few, but enough to attract people."
"How so?"
"Chief Claudio believes that exploring this culture may overturn previous conjectures and explore more of the real life of ancient civilizations."
