The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 296: Chapter 246, Discordant Evil Words_2

Before entering, he was worried that the appearances of the two girls would attract attention.

Presently, walking on the main street, no one gave them a second glance.

…

They entered a well-furnished inn.

Four silver coins secured a suite.

A hall with two bedrooms.

After a simple inspection of the rooms, Wu Heng continued to fetch Skull Crusher and Blazing Blade from the boundary door.

And then, they left again.

Wu Heng, with the two girls, found a tavern and sat down in a corner.

While listening to a bard strumming a lute and singing, they summoned a serving maid.

Unclear about the local customs, the maid’s clothing was loose, showcasing an ample bosom.

But he didn’t stuff silver coins into her clothes, instead directly passing them into her hands.

The maid immediately put on a smile, “Guest, what can I do for you?”

“I want to ask you something.”

The maid slightly bowed, listening attentively.

The view down her neckline was even more tempting.

“I heard that Gold and Silver Island is a pirate’s territory?” Wu Heng asked.

The maid nodded, “You could say that.”

“It’s our first time here, tell me about it.”

The maid thought for a moment about how to phrase it, then began, “Gold and Silver Island was originally pirate-occupied, but it is now called ‘Gold and Silver Archipelago’. All nations have pardoned the ‘Occam’ pirate group and established a new order. Now all ships stop there for supplies.”

“A pirate group was pardoned?”

“Yes, it is said that because ‘Occam’ reached level 18, they granted him a status.”

Damn, anything’s possible.

So in other words, the level of the pirate group’s captain was too high, and the cost of attacking them was too high for all the powers to accept. After discussing, they directly absolved the group of their crimes, making Gold and Silver Island their territory.

As long as they stopped pillaging merchant groups, everyone was fine.

Simply put, everything was decided by strength.

If the cost to remove you is seen as too great by others, they will choose a friendlier approach.

That’s certainly a reality.

“So, does that mean there are no pirates now?” Mini asked.

“Of course not,” The maid replied, standing slightly straighter, the neckline of her clothing tightening a bit, “the other pirates still exist, though they’re not as rampant as before.”

Just as Wu Heng was about to continue with his inquiries, the noise of the tavern guests beckoning came from afar.

The maid once again bowed to the group, turning to attend to the other guests.

Wu Heng and the others had learned what they wanted to know.

They started to have their meal.

…

After finishing their meal, the group left the tavern.

Having asked a passerby for directions to the port, they hired a carriage to take them there.

The closer they got to the port, the more people gathered.

From afar, they saw huge ships docked at the port, a stream of people moving to and from the ships and the shore, carrying various supplies.

Trade, after all, was a significant factor in the growth of a city.

He let the two girls gaze at the sea.

Then they started walking towards a building nearby.

The Shipping Department.

In the building, a middle-aged man was working on something with a quill, not even looking up as he said, “What do you need? Speak up!”

Wu Heng laid out his Vice-executive insignia on the table, “Arranged a ship to Gold and Silver Island.”

“Son of a-” The man was about to curse, but seeing the insignia, he immediately stood up, and spoke respectfully, “Let me check for you.”

He flipped through the record book on the table.

Then he said, “There is a merchant ship going to Gold and Silver Island tomorrow at noon. If you have no problem with this, you can board that ship.”

“Fine, we’ll take the merchant ship tomorrow.”

The man quickly made a record in his book, saying, “Here’s your booking. It’s the Nodinglaton merchant ship at the third port.”

“Don’t we need tickets or anything?”

“No, just board the ship on time, and if they ask for your identity, show them your insignia.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The man made a respectful bow, “Helping you resolve issues is my honor.”

Having confirmed their departure time for the next day, Wu Heng and his party left the registry.

…

“It’s so lively here,” Mini spoke up.

“Yes, it’s much more lively here than in Lundham City. And what’s more, there’s no one causing disturbances.” Andre Willow chimed in.

With time left and nothing else to do, they strolled around the bustling streets.

Both sides of the streets were lined with shops, most of which were doing good business.

Stepping out of a clothes shop, they entered a magic items store across the road.

There were also quite a few people in the shop.

The few shop assistants were busy serving the customers, who were all dressed rather extravagantly.

Walking around the shop, Wu Heng looked at the various magic items in the glass display cabinet.

Luxury goods here were defined in their own way.

They were not just luxurious trinkets, clothing, or handbags.

They were magic items etched with various spells that possessed special effects and functions.

Wu Heng walked past them all.

Then he went back again, focusing on the ring he had passed earlier.

[Unholy Evil Language Ring]

(Description: For a short time, unleash a series of curse words imbued with magic power at the target in a machine gun manner.)

Cost: 470 Silver Coins.

Holy sh*t!

A curse casting magic item.

Someone must have been deeply wronged to etch such a magic effect into a ring, specifically to help its owner to curse others.

“This magic item can give you an upper hand in arguments, and even help you in composing your words without needing you to form your own sentences,” a shop assistant who had just finished serving a customer came over to Wu Heng.

“Just looking.” Wu Heng withdrew his gaze and continued to ask, “Do you have any offensive or defensive items?”

“Yes, sir, please follow me to the second floor.”

The shop assistant gestured with his hand, leading them up to the second floor.

…

Lundham City.

City Lord’s Mansion.

“Executive Slyther, things happened quite suddenly. Sir left first and did not have time to wait for you to come,” Wen Mansha explained softly.

Clad in a tight suit, ‘Slyther’ looked around the opulent City Lord’s Mansion.

Surprise was still evident in her eyes.

A few days earlier, Wu Heng had visited her and discussed the development of half of the city, as well as how to handle the situation with ‘Ereno’.

Now the entire city was his, and his maid was the City Lord.

She had gathered so much information as a Secret Speaker.

And yet she had never come across anything as incredible as this.

Moreover, Wu Heng’s leaving in advance, in her view, seemed almost deliberate.

Slyther nodded, then continued, “Wu Heng mentioned to me earlier that you would be responsible here. If you ever find it hard to make any decisions, you can ask for my advice. Managing a city is not as simple as managing a gang.”

‘Wen Mansha’s smile didn’t waver, “If necessary, I will naturally consult you, executive. After all, we are family.”

Slyther’s eyes narrowed, then resumed their calm, “How’s the renovation of the Money Cat going?”

“Let me show you. I’ll get people to make any changes you want immediately.”

“Alright, let’s take a look.”
