Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1008, Bronze Key

The silence on the other end of the phone lasted for a few seconds, as if digesting the news.

"I understand!" Li Yahong asked subconsciously, "What effect does it have?"

Wu Heng said: "You just need to know that this helps me improve my strength. It's hard to explain too much."

"Okay, I'll have people start promoting the concept of 'divine bestowal' right away." Li Yahong said in a steady voice, "I'll also notify Qi Hancai and hold a meeting with the other bases to finalize this matter."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Wu Heng nodded in response.

Matters concerning faith and gods are too difficult to explain. Just let Li Yahong and the others follow the instructions.

We have finished talking about this matter.

Li Yahong continued, "A new batch of cultural relics will be delivered tomorrow. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Cultural relics.

Wu Heng asked various places to collect cultural relics with written records to see if there were any records of ancient martial arts.

He glanced behind him and saw Xiaoxiao browsing her phone.

It’s true that I haven’t been back for a while, and I have to let my child see his mother.

"Okay, I'll go there today." Wu Heng agreed, and then said, "I need a batch of equipment that can play movies. Can you tell me whether a TV or a projector is better?"

"If the required size is larger and there are many people watching, a projector is better. Moreover, they are all portable and can be powered by batteries and power banks," said Li Yahong.

"Then please prepare some for me and I will take them away when the time comes." Wu Heng said.

"Come over, I'll arrange for someone to prepare now."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng stood up and said, "Let's go to the central area."

"Great! I can see my mom!" Xiaoxiao cheered.

Wu Heng smiled and took the four ghosts downstairs.

Get on the off-road vehicle and drive towards the central area.

……

After arriving at the central area.

The little possessed doll skipped and skipped to find Zhao Yanqiu.

Wu Hengze released the [Teleportation Technique] and went to Li Yahong's office.

As soon as the figure solidified in the office, there was a slight "click" sound from the door lock.

Li Yahong pushed the door open, holding a stack of documents in her hands, with a grown-up owl standing on her shoulder.

Seeing the man who suddenly appeared in the middle of the room, she paused and raised her eyebrows and said, "You scared me."

Wu Heng said: "It's a coincidence."

Li Yahong walked in, threw the file on the table, and pulled out a list. "I've asked the technical department. The portable home theater has a ready-made projector, anti-glare screen, and Bluetooth speakers. It has its own energy storage battery and can play continuously for eight hours when fully charged."

"Not bad!" Wu Heng took the list and took a look at it.

I only thought of using a projector or a large TV for playback, but I didn't expect that there was already a complete set of equipment.

This actually meets my own requirements, and the effect will be better if it is sent to various places of the association for broadcast later.

"Just prepare it according to this. The more the better. I'll take it away tomorrow." Wu Heng returned the list and took out a hard drive. "There's a new cartoon made in it. You can arrange some voice actors to dub it and then broadcast it."

Li Yahong took the hard drive and raised her eyebrows. "You made it for Xiaoxiao? Are you obsessed with daughters?"

“There are indeed some small suggestions in it, but the whole animation is about the nine-tailed fox.” Wu Heng explained with a smile.

The main purpose of making animation is to change the image of the Empress in this world.

It's very popular in the other world, so the effect here shouldn't be too bad.

In history, whether Daji really brought disaster to the country and the people, or was maliciously vilified by others, actually has little to do with himself.

Thousands of years have passed and everything has become history. Now Daji is just her own ghost.

Partners who will fight together to face difficulties in the future.

"I'll make the arrangements then." Li Yahong put the hard drive into the drawer and said, "I'll take you around the base and show you around in front of everyone."

"it is good!"

The two walked out of the office together and began to inspect the base.

The entire central area no longer resembles a post-apocalyptic scene.

On the bulletin board in the center of the square were posters.

We united to build our home and completed the research and development of the serum with the leader of the base.

Wu Heng followed Li Yahong around for a long time, met some department heads, and then walked back while chatting.

Xiaoxiao also came over from a distance, "Uncle, Mommy has prepared dinner. I want you and Aunt Yahong to go and eat."

Li Yahong smiled and said, "Let's go. Don't let Sister Zhao wait anxiously."

The two of them held hands and walked towards the dormitory.

……

The next day.

The morning light filtered through the half-drawn curtains, casting mottled shadows on the showroom floor.

Wu Heng stood between rows of cultural relics, looking at the bronze wares, pottery jars and bone fragments that filled the room, each of which carried the heaviness of time.

Then, he started to look carefully one by one starting from the entrance, trying to find out if there were any strange objects or records of ancient martial arts.

Looking along the way, most of the time, there was nothing I needed.

"Huh?" In front of the display case in the corner, the empress uttered a sigh, then turned her head and looked over. "It seems that there is a story recorded here..."

Wu Heng walked closer and saw several pieces of spliced ​​oracle bone fragments. The carvings on them were of varying depths and some of the words were blurred.

"What's it written?" Glenda came over.

The empress said, "It records an ancient craftsman who made a key. I don't recognize some of the words, but this is roughly what it means."

Wu Heng also began to interpret the words on the bone fragment, and his brows began to frown.

Beni asked, "Wu Heng, what did you write?"

Wu Heng explained: "The emperor at that time wanted to visit an old friend, so he ordered Yanshi to make a common tool. He offered sacrifices to the gods in Longcheng and got permission. He took the fragments of the sacred stone and made a key. There was no more."

"The magic stone is the colorful stone!" Benny was the first to react, "The bronze key was indeed made of it!"

Three pairs of eyes looked at the Empress.

It was she who brought up the matter of the five-colored divine stone.

The queen shook her head, "It must have happened after I died, and I have never heard of this person."

Wu Heng nodded, this should be the dynasty that happened after the Queen's death.

Judging from the information I have, this bronze key is most likely made of colorful stones.

Beni looked at Wu Heng again, "Don't you know this person?"

"I don't know much about history. I'll ask Li Yahong to check it out when I get back." Wu Heng said, taking out his mobile phone to take pictures of all the text on the bone fragments.

Then, he continued to look at the remaining cultural relics, the rusty arrowheads, the faded jade cong, and the broken tortoise shells. He scanned them one by one, but there were no more strange objects or historical content that interested him.

"Let's go, let's go back." Wu Heng took a last look at the bone fragment and turned to leave.

Return to the office.

Li Yahong raised her head. "Have you finished reading? Is there anything you are interested in?"

Wu Heng sat down beside her, sent her the photo on his phone, and said, "Check which dynasty this cultural relic was unearthed from, whether there is any record of a person named Yanshi in this dynasty, and what city Longcheng was in ancient times, and what temples there were, especially the ruins dedicated to Nuwa!"

"Okay!" Li Yahong quickly wrote down, "Should we keep these cultural relics first, or send them back to the museum?"

“Send it back!”

"Ah."

At noon, Xiaoxiao came back humming a song, her hair tied into two ponytails, and she said happily, "Uncle, I'm back."

Wu Heng took her hand and said, "Let's go back to the prison first."

"Okay."

Get on the SUV and head back to the prison, then back to Treasure Island.

……

Treasure Island.

The afternoon sun poured into the hall through the French windows. Minnie was directing two stacked skeletons to clean the crystal chandelier. When she heard footsteps, she turned back in a hurry, "Master..."

Without waiting for the next words to come out.

Xiao Xiao, who had two ponytails, slid down from the armrest and said, "Sister Minnie, do my braids look good?"

"It looks good." Minnie smiled.

Xiaoxiao immediately ran to the training room again and shouted, "Sister Luo Bei, let's play badminton."

Minnie looked away from Xiao Xiao and said again, "Master, Chief Lilith called this morning." Wu Heng sat down on the sofa, "Did he say anything?"

"No, and I didn't dare to ask more." Minnie smiled awkwardly.

Lilith was usually a bit serious, and except for Xiao Xiao, the maids in the house were very careful when interacting with her.

"It's okay, I'll call her back." Wu Heng picked up the phone and dialed directly.

Minnie brought him tea and cut fruit and placed them on the coffee table.

When the call was connected, Lilith was sitting in the study and said directly: "The headquarters has approved your proposal. The profit split is 50-50. The association will be responsible for the venue and personnel, and you will provide the equipment and film sources."

This is indeed what happened.

The reputation of the Snake Emblem Group is growing rapidly, and the association must be feeling the pressure.

In any case, Hadarai will not allow the consortium's prestige to surpass that of the association during his administration.

"I have prepared the equipment and will send it to you through the association later. You know how to operate it and can guide them when the time comes." Wu Heng said.

Lilith nodded, "Okay!"

The two continued chatting for a while, and Xiaoxiao ran over from behind. Seeing Lilith on the screen, she stopped and shouted, "Sister Lilith, why haven't you come back yet?"

Lilith smiled coldly, "Your uncle has arranged a job for me. I have to wait for a while."

"Now that I'm a leader, do I still have to be a slave?" Xiaoxiao sat down on the sofa.

"What is a cow horse? A new word?"

“Just work.”

Wu Heng saw the two of them chatting, and said to the screen, "You chat with Xiao Xiao, I'll go deliver the equipment to the association."

"Go!"

Wu Heng stood up and left, releasing the [Teleportation Spell] to go to the association.

……

The capital of the Yeko Kingdom, Chelu.

The last ray of setting sun sank beneath the city wall.

The residents of Chelu gathered in groups on the streets, looking up at the newly erected metal poles.

The pole is a cold, iron-gray color, with a diamond-shaped glass cover on the top.

These metal poles have been erected along the main streets of the city and are strictly guarded by guards to prevent anyone from vandalizing them.

"Is this some kind of magic circle being set up in the city?"

"I heard that the caravans from the south call this a 'street lamp'. It's a magical item that can provide lighting at night." said a shop owner.

Beside him, the young craftsman sneered, "Nonsense! The kingdom has been at civil war for so long, how can it have the money to spend on something like this?"

"That's right. It's good enough that taxes are not increased. How can we expect to build this thing for ordinary people?" someone nearby echoed.

"No!"

More and more people agree.

The shop owner who said it was a street lamp was speechless after being criticized again and again.

I alone can't speak as well as so many people.

Just as the sky grew darker.

Click~!

A crisp sound of a mechanism suddenly rang out.

It was as if an invisible hand ignited the glass cover of the iron rod, and the street lights along the entire street lit up one by one.

Warm white light poured down from the glass cover, illuminating the stone road in every detail, even the old moss in the drainage ditch beside the road was reflected as emerald green.

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and all the residents looked at the lit streets in surprise.

Only the shop owner just now said loudly, "It's a street lamp, this kind of street lamp appears in the south, and it is originally used for lighting at night."

People were still looking at the street lights and no one spoke for a while.

"Everyone!" A bard jumped onto the wooden barrel in front of the tavern, his cloak illuminated by the street lamp like a burning flag, and his voice exploded in the air, "This is not magic, nor is it a miracle! This is the 'technology' that Her Majesty the Queen brought back from Treasure Island! From tonight on, our children no longer have to be afraid of traveling at night, and the caravan can load and unload goods all night long..."

"All residents of the kingdom." The bard pointed at the stunned crowd, "will have a brighter night than the nobles in the capital!"

"Let us praise the great leader Wu Heng and the queen!"

Led by the bard, everyone started to shout as well.

"Praise to Chief Wu Heng, our Queen."

……

Inside the palace.

Brittany stood in front of the French window, her fingertips gently stroking her slightly swollen belly.

The cheers outside the window came like waves, and the bright streets turned the night sky of the royal city into amber.

This was her first step in succeeding and changing the royal city, and it was also the first step in proving to those ministers that the path she was taking was correct.

The kingdom needed to change, and so did the old traditions.

He took a deep breath and whispered, "I will surpass my father and any other king of this generation."

……

Treasure Island.

Dark as ink.

Wu Heng gently pulled out his numb arm, carefully avoiding the sleeping elf sisters.

Xilagui's golden hair spread on the pillow, while Shi Yali curled up like a cat with one hand on his lower abdomen.

Wu Heng looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but think.

In his own world, he found clues that looked like the 'key'.

If it is as I guessed, then the bronze key was forged using colorful stones.

It is also connected with the colorful stones that the Empress talked about.

This is an important clue.

As long as you look up the historical information about the person named "Yanshi", you may find more clues and more secrets of ancient times.

Thinking in his mind, he opened the panel and took a look.

【Faith: 1974/50000.】

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

The speed at which faith grows is getting faster and faster.

"The Vatican won't recognize it, right? There has been no news so far."

This is a bit strange.

The Holy See has been too honest during this period. It has not condemned or interfered. Even from the Kingdom of Yeko, there has been no news of Holy See intervention.

This silence is unsettling, like the dead silence before a storm.

"It won't be a big wave!"

Wu Heng muttered.

……

Church, main hall.

The chanting echoed under the dome like a tide, and the golden scriptures inlaid on the pure white pillars glowed slightly with the singing.

The Pope stood under the statue, holding a scepter inlaid with holy crystals, his luxurious platinum robe dragging across the shiny marble floor.

Below the statue is a 'holy ark' made of holy silver.

The surface was engraved with countless reliefs of angels and saints, and now an increasingly strong light was emanating from within.

"Return to the Holy Throne." The Pope's voice was not loud, but it seemed to penetrate the entire church.

The choir's singing suddenly rose in pitch, turning into an almost piercing harmony.

A dazzling golden light burst out from the cracks in the holy ark, flowing out like liquid and completely enveloping the archbishop kneeling in front of the holy ark.

hum!
The air in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment.

The next second, the archbishop's body suddenly straightened up, and his robe moved without wind.

The aura around him began to rise crazily, holy light burned on his body like flames, and golden divine patterns appeared on the ground beneath his feet, spreading in all directions.

Outside the palace, the sky suddenly twisted.

The galaxy turned upside down, and countless stars turned into a dazzling torrent and converged towards the dome of the cathedral.

The starlight penetrated the stained glass and shone into the archbishop's body.
