Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1004, Shannara Returns
Come to the place where the animation is made.

In the dim hall, dozens of skeletons sat silently in front of the equipment, their bony fingers tapping on the keyboards, making subtle 'clicking' sounds.

The cold light from the screen reflected on their smooth skulls, refracting a blue light.

Wu Heng and Xiao Xiao walked in and looked at the dozens of storyboards on the wall. On the screen, the movements and scenes of the nine-tailed fox were all shown one by one.

After all, skeletons cannot communicate with each other through language, so this method can also improve their work.

The skeleton director in charge of the project stood up, his cervical vertebrae making a slight 'crackling' sound, and handed over a piece of paper.

Wu Heng took it and opened it. Xiao Xiaopiao, who was hanging on his shoulder, looked over.

Main character voice acting:

Daji (a girl from the Sky Fox tribe): The voice should be clear and lively.

Jiang Ziya (Kunlun monk): moderate, peaceful, and rhythmic.

Yin Li (Wang Dynasty Princess): Her sweet voice contains majesty.

Black Fox King (villain elder): hoarse and low voice, carrying the vicissitudes of thousands of years.

Crow Spirit (comedy role): sharp and funny, can crack the voice appropriately...

A total of more than twenty characters need to be dubbed.

Wu Heng looked at the dubbing list and some storyboards on the wall. It was obviously not the original version of Investiture of the Gods. Instead, the Black Fox King was the villain, and the friendship between Daji and the princess became the core of the story.

"I'll arrange the actors." Wu Heng put the paper away, "You guys continue to be busy."

The skeleton sat back in his seat.

He took Xiaoxiao around the office space again, but there was nothing to see, so he used the [Teleportation Spell] to return to the Island Owner's Mansion.

As he walked into the living room, Xiaoxiao flew back right after him.

"Uncle, when can we watch the cartoon?" Xiaoxiao continued to ask.

"It takes some time to choose the right role." Wu Heng said as he walked.

Although I don’t know much about animation, choosing the right human voiceover is not that simple.

At least it takes some time.

Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Let my aunt play Daji, let sister Xilagui play the role of Wang Chao Princess or sister Five Princess, and I will play the villain Black Fox King."

"Your aunt's mouth sounds like someone collecting debts. How can she look girly?" Wu Heng complained, and then said, "Besides, the script is about the Black Fox Elder, how can it be the Black Fox King?"

Sitting down at the side, he continued, "What's needed is a male voice with a hoarse and deep voice. You should be more suitable for a Dynasty Princess."

"What's the point of that? This kind of role doesn't sound appealing." Xiao Xiao thought about it again, "Then I'll play the role of the crow spirit."

"That's fine. You can discuss it with your aunt and let her choose the person." Wu Heng nodded.

Xiao Xiao said, "Uncle, give me the list, I will give it to my aunt now."

Wu Heng handed her the dubbing sheet, and controlled the object with his mind, flying upstairs.

At the stairs, one could still hear a strangled voice, "Tremble, human! Guga, guga~!"

Downstairs, Minnie walked over and looked up along the stairs, "What's that noise? It's so strange."

"It's okay, just a little joke." Wu Heng said.

"Xiaoxiao is so happy every day." Minnie smiled and then said, "Master, it's time for lunch."

Wu Heng stood up and followed them to the restaurant.

……

The afternoon sun shines through the gaps in the vines, casting mottled shadows on the stone road.

There was a knock on the courtyard gate and Minnie trotted to open it.

When he came back again, he was followed by a figure wearing a dark brown traveling cloak. On the edge of the hood of the cloak, a few strands of blue-gray hair fluttered in the wind.

"Master!" Minnie jumped happily, "Sister Shannella is back!"

Wu Heng walked out of the training room and saw the figure following Minnie taking off his hood.

Shannara stood in the halo, her bright eyes smiling, her cheeks slightly flushed, a few strands of hair stuck to her forehead which was covered with a little sweat.

"Did you miss me?" Shannella tilted her head slightly, and the tips of her ears glowed pink in the sunlight.

Wu Heng strode over, picked her up by the waist, and spun her around in a circle. Shannara screamed and instinctively hugged his neck.

"Put me down!" Shannella slapped his shoulder lightly in embarrassment. "You're all sweaty, stop it."

Wu Heng put her down, held the wood elf's delicate face, and kissed her cherry lips deeply.

"Tell me, have I thought about it?"

Shannella's face turned even redder and she punched him in the stomach before taking off her coat and hanging it on the hanger by the door.

Then, he stretched his slender body and sank lazily into the sofa.

The maids immediately gathered around and greeted him in a flurry.

Shannella responded with a smile, as if she had returned home. They chatted for a few words, but her eyes passed over the crowd and fell on Viola who was standing in the corner.

"Viola!" Shannella said with a smile, "Welcome to Treasure Island."

Whether it was through the phone or the card collecting craze that swept the island when she returned, Shannara knew about the new witch.

For Shannara, no matter what the other party's previous identity was, she would not have too much aversion.

Given the current situation of Treasure Island, it does need the participation of high-level professionals.

Wu Heng is different from other leaders of the association. The religious leader has the Holy See, and the other four leaders have their own races.

There are countless people at their disposal.

Wu Heng is different. He only has skeletons under his command, and it is difficult for them to do anything independently. The level of the other maids is too low.

Some high-level professionals with special identities are needed to join in to strengthen the power of Treasure Island.

Hearing Shannara greet her, Viola bowed slightly, "Shannara, ma'am!"

Judging from the actions of the other party and Wu Heng, the two are obviously in a romantic relationship, not just a public business partnership.

Lover may not be quite accurate. Shannara does have a husband, and he’s a high-ranking figure among the wood elves.

Calling her lover would be more accurate.

"Have you adapted to life here?" Shannara asked like a hostess.

“The chief has taken good care of me,” Viola replied.

"How many levels?"

Viola subconsciously looked at Wu Heng, who had no intention of stopping her and replied, "Level 19."

Shannella raised her eyebrows, "That's pretty fast. Keep it up."

"Thank you ma'am," Viola thanked.

Shannella nodded, "You guys go ahead and do your work, I have something to discuss with Wu Heng."

Several people stood up and dispersed to do their own things.

There were only two people left in the living room.

Shannella's long legs were crossed, and her light blue slippers, which were hooked on her toes, swayed gently.

"The 20 newly promised churches have begun to be renovated." He picked up the teacup and took a sip. "But the Wood Elves are also under a lot of pressure. The Archbishop stationed in the Wood Elves goes to the home of the Great Elder every day to talk about the Lingqi Church."

Wu Heng was not surprised. He lightly hooked his fingertips and the teapot automatically refilled the cups for the two of them. "This is related to faith. Everywhere will definitely try to stop it."

"After all, you have touched the bottom line of the Church." Shannara narrowed her eyes slightly, "If you want the wood elves to completely turn to you, the current benefits alone are not enough, unless..."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows and waited for her next words.

Shannella said softly, "The Church will not do anything to the Wood Elves unless they can offer something they cannot refuse, or unless the Wood Elves see it."

Of course, she wanted the wood elves to help Wu Heng and make the wood elves the complete supporting race of Wu Heng.

This also involves the safety of the wood elves, and the wood elves cannot be put in danger because of this matter.

"Okay, I'll think of a solution." Wu Heng nodded.

Shannara didn't say much and took out two carved wooden coffins from her space ring.

The coffin is decorated with patterns of thorns and roses, which at first glance looks like a work of art.

"One is level 17, and the other is level 15. These are the highest level corpses we can find in a short period of time." Shannara said.

When I called her before, I mentioned bringing the body back.

"The level is sufficient." Wu Heng casually put it into the space ring.

The two chatted for a while, and Minnie came over with tea and snacks, "Sister Shannella, these freshly baked cranberry scones!" Shannella stood up and said, "Let's go to the gazebo."

The two of them went to the courtyard together, sat down in the gazebo, and drank tea and ate cakes.

Wu Heng left and went to the coroner's location in the Island Lord's Mansion. He dissected the wood elf's corpse and put the internal organs into the organ jar, turning the corpse into a skeleton.

We returned just in time to have dinner together.

……

After dinner, Wu Heng returned to his study.

In the room, his four ghosts were all there, rarely, and they didn't wander around.

Listening to the four souls' conversation, they were also discussing the dubbing.

Seeing Wu Heng coming in, the empress floated over and said, "I'll go and select someone for the dubbing tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions?"

Wu Heng took out the organ jar from his space ring and said, "Let's find a bard. He has a good voice, strong lines, and can generate income for the island."

During this period, bards from all over the world gathered at Treasure Island.

The number of high-level bards is also increasing.

It’s just right for dubbing cartoons.

"You make sense." The queen nodded in agreement, "I'll have Annette send out a notice. There will be a sound check tomorrow. We'll get all the lines ready as soon as possible."

"Well! You should get yours done first, and don't forget to write the Body Refining Technique."

"Got it." The queen took Xiao Xiao downstairs and went straight to find Annette to deal with the announcement.

Wu Heng opened the heart in the organ jar and cut off a small piece with a fruit knife.

Without giving it much thought, I just threw it into my mouth and swallowed it.

The moment the blood and flesh entered his stomach, severe pain exploded from his stomach like thorns.

After a few breaths, the pain receded like a tide.

A system prompt appears immediately.

[Fusion characteristics: Charm resistance. 】

[Charm Resistance]: Great advantage in resisting charm.

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

Only one trait appeared, which was great resistance to enchantment.

"Oh! It's the same thing over and over again." Wu Heng sighed. His [Strengthened Willpower] was immune to this kind of interference, so this feature was not of much use to him.

Wu Heng put away the organ jar, thought for a while, and concluded: "The elves and wood elves have the same origin. Last time, the characteristics of the elves were integrated, so only one wood elf appeared."

It doesn’t matter, it’s better than nothing.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

When it gets late at night, I return to my room to rest.

……

bedroom.

Shannella was leaning against the desk, wearing a dark blue silk nightgown, looking down at the books on the desk.

Hearing footsteps, he looked sideways, then turned back.

Wu Heng stood behind her, his fingertips sliding down along the elegant lines of her shoulders and neck, gently hooking them.

Swish.

The loose nightgown slid down and flowed to the waist like moonlight, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin.

Wu Heng gently stroked the smooth back with his hands, then passed them through the armpits and supported the chest.

"Hmm..." Shanara let out a soft hum from her throat, her eyes half-closed, and she leaned back into her man's arms, feeling the warmth from his palm, "Haven't you touched enough yet?"

Wu Heng leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Is it getting bigger again?"

“What nonsense!” Shannella’s ears turned red, and she gently pushed back with her elbow, “You can’t remember the size…!”

Before she could finish her words, Wu Heng suddenly picked her up by the waist and pressed her on the desk in an instant.

Shannella leaned on the table and raised her head, her long blue-gray hair falling like a waterfall. She looked at the overlapping silhouettes of the two people on the wall, and her eyes became gentler. "Be gentle, the table is broken."

These words were like a declaration of war, increasing the force behind him a bit more.

……

The next day, early morning.

Wu Heng sat in the living room and opened the panel to take a look.

【Faith: 1427/50000.】

His eyes suddenly lit up.

The last time I checked it was over 700, this time it doubled.

It seems that the missionary combination of churches and smart speakers in various places has obviously begun to take effect.

At this rate, as long as the Holy See does not interfere, he will definitely be able to break through to the heroic stage.

Ta Ta Ta Ta~!

Footsteps sounded.

"The heroic class is just full of energy!" Shannara walked down the stairs slowly, her plain white dress outlining her slender waist, her long blue-gray hair loosely tied up with a silver hairpin, and golden earrings dangling from her eartips.

"Let's go!" Shannara stretched out her hand and brushed his shoulder. "The sooner we go, the sooner we can come back. I can get some more sleep, too."

Wu Heng put his arms around her waist, and the light of [Teleportation] instantly enveloped both of them.

When he appeared again, he was already in the courtyard of the Lingqi Church.

Several nuns who were pruning roses were startled. When they saw who was coming, they hurriedly saluted, "Master Chief! Elder Shannella!"

"Call all clergy here, the leader has something to tell you." Shannara said.

The nun nodded and continued, "Do the new members of the Sky Fox tribe need to come together?"

Shannella glanced at Wu Heng, who said, "Call them all over!"

The priest left, and Wu Heng explained, "The Empress's people received Treasure Island a few days ago, and some of them were arranged to stay in the church."

"Yeah!" Shannara nodded.

Ten minutes later, the courtyard was filled with figures dressed in the clergy uniforms of the Lingqi Church.

Among them are wood elves, humans and sky foxes. Wood elves have the most priests, humans have more nuns, and sky foxes don't even have nun uniforms.

After everyone arrived, Shannella said in a loud voice: "Master Chief, we need to select some priests and nuns with outstanding abilities and send them to churches in various places. Evelyn, you should choose 30 priests and as many nuns as appropriate."

"Yes!" Evelyn nodded and began to select several wood elf priests.

Unlike the beginning when there were only priestesses, now there are both men and women.

……

Town hall, conference room.

The sunlight poured into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the long table.

Across the table, there were four figures, three big and one small. Each of them was wearing gorgeous clothes, but the clothes wrapped their bodies tightly, making it difficult to see the exposed skin.

The door was gently pushed open, and a bard in a brown robe walked in.

He bowed slightly, his voice gentle and steady, "Hello ladies, my name is Ryans, an 11th-level bard."

The queen raised her chin and asked, "Which role do you want to try?"

"Jiang Ziya."

The empress pushed a line over and said, "Read a line for me."

Ryans closed his eyes and pondered, then opened them again and said, "If the heaven cannot tolerate good people, then what is the use of this heaven!"

The queen nodded, "You're not bad, leave your name and I'll arrange an audition for you."

"Thank you, ma'am." The other party saluted excitedly, left his name and address, and turned to leave.

Xiao Xiao muttered, "Why is no one playing the role of the Black Fox King?"

The queen said softly, "It's normal to be afraid of affecting your reputation..."
