Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1035, Arrival at Chelu

With the departure of the local bishop, the room fell into a brief silence, except for the wind that stirred the light-emitting stones hanging from the ropes as the door closed.

The faint light stretched the shadows of the three people longer and longer.

This action will certainly anger the association, especially the Sword of Justice in modern times.

But the Vatican can no longer afford to worry about all that.

Wu Heng's growth rate continued to increase rapidly, the Lingqi Sect was established in various places, and Treasure Island cultivated a second hero.

For the scholars and people in the Hongwen Society who are willing to record history, they will definitely write him into the historical record.

But this is not good news for the Vatican.

This also forces the Vatican to take action as soon as possible; otherwise, the longer it is delayed, the more difficult it will be to kill the enemy.

The man in black robes on the left finally spoke, his voice still serious and cold, "If Wu Heng does not attend the Week of Courage..."

The figure in the middle, his fingers caressing the teacup, said, "The oracle will not be wrong. He will definitely come, and he will appear at the venue on time."

The person on the right echoed, "We should just follow the divine decree. As for whether there will be any mistakes, that's not something we can worry about."

The three of them glanced at each other but said nothing.

“Britanni is pregnant with his child.” The person in the middle turned the topic to Britanni. “Now the whole kingdom is spreading the word that Wu Heng is a hero who came from the Kingdom of Yeke, and they want to tie him to the kingdom…”

The person on the left said, "It doesn't matter. She must have signed a contract with Wu Heng. If Wu Heng dies, she won't survive either."

"Should we arrange an accident for his child first? Saiddu could die at his hands in his reincarnation," the middleman said in a deep voice.

"Don't touch that child. If Wu Heng notices, it will only affect the subsequent plans," the person on the right added. "Apart from him, the others are not important."

The other two nodded, agreeing that it made sense.

Even the heroes newly cultivated by Treasure Island are insignificant to the Holy See.

As long as Wu Heng is dead, nothing else matters.

After discussing the matter, the three sat together and reviewed the plan once again.

Then he slowly got up and left.

Everything was prepared. No matter how capable he was, as long as he dared to come, and as long as he was still bound by the limitations of heroes, he would surely die this time.

The Vatican will also wash away all its previous shame.

……

Three days later, in the woods outside the capital.

Wu Heng sat on a boulder covered in vines, fiddling with his phone.

As soon as I got off the ghost train and took out my phone, I was bombarded with a series of text messages from Lilith.

First, they said they had picked up Liz and had already set off for Treasure Island.

Then they asked him where he had gone, whether he had discovered any of the Vatican's actions, and warned him to avoid any conflict.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Heng could only reply that he had been invited to the Kingdom of Yeke and he didn't know if the Holy See had any ulterior motives.

He added that if a war really broke out, it would be the Vatican that would target them.

After editing, I sent it out directly.

Swish~!

At that moment, Benny flew back from afar, piercing through the forest mist; her translucent spirit body shimmered in the setting sun.

Having located Wu Heng, they quickly flew over. "Could you be in a more obvious place? It's so hard to find me here."

"I was just afraid of being discovered by the enemy!" Wu Heng put away his phone and then asked, "How is it?"

“There are no suspicious targets in the East District, and I haven’t seen any level 20 heroes,” Benny replied.

As they were speaking, three more ghosts arrived one after another, breaking through the air.

The Empress said, "The Vatican Church is under a restriction, so I can't go in, but nothing unusual has been found in the surrounding area."

Next, Granda and Little reported on their findings regarding the location.

No trace of the hero was found, nor was anything unusual discovered.

After listening to the introduction, Wu Heng frowned slightly.

Granda floated to Benny's side and asked, "Aren't there any signs on your end either?"

“No, I investigated quite thoroughly, but I didn’t find any trace of the hero,” Benny replied.

Granda nodded, pondered for a moment, and analyzed, "There are two possibilities. One is that the other party is hiding in a well-hidden place, and the city has a large population, so it would be difficult for the four of us to find them in a short time. The second possibility is that they are not hiding in the city, but are also trying to find our whereabouts through some means."

The Empress continued, "The second possibility is more likely. You've been battling the Holy See for so long, they must be familiar with some of your abilities and methods. Why would they stay in the city waiting for you to find them?"

Xiao Xiao rested her chin on her hand and nodded repeatedly, "That should be it."

"Let's go into the city first!" Wu Heng stood up, patted the dust off his backside, "We'll talk about it when we see Brittani."

With that, he headed toward the city.

Xiao Xiao flew alongside and said, "Streetlights have been installed on all the roads in the city. Princess, you're so fast!"

Granda laughed and said, "Britanni has always used Treasure Island as a development goal and reference, so it's normal for her to build streetlights as soon as she ascends the throne."

"I remember it was really troublesome when we installed the streetlights," Xiao Xiao recalled. "We had to advertise in advance and have a skeleton guard under the streetlights."

Benny added, "Chelous is at least the capital. Our place was originally inhabited by pirates. If you didn't steal something when you went out, it was considered a loss."

Xiao chuckled, "That seems to be true."

The one person and four souls walked and talked, getting closer and closer to the city.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Brittany.

……

Royal Palace, Queen's Bedchamber.

Dusk filtered through the windowpanes, casting dappled light and shadow on the carpet.

Brittany leaned back on the soft couch, her fingertips tracing her slightly protruding belly.

“Your Majesty! Guess what I heard at the market today?” The personal maid stood beside her, picked up some fruit from the fruit plate, fed it to Brittany, and then continued, “A group of prop rune masters have come. They’ve been watching the streetlights every night, trying to replicate the runes on them. They’ve been doing it for three or four days now.”

"How did someone with that level of intelligence become a runemaster!" Brittani chuckled, then continued, "When you have time, you should issue a public notice that looking directly at those streetlights is harmful to the eyes, and remind them."

"Why should we care about them! If we say this now, people will think we're afraid they'll learn it!" the maid muttered.

Her personal maid was the little maid who fled with Brittany.

Now she has grown into a noble and elegant woman. As her trusted confidante who has always been by her side and is the only one who knows all her secrets with Wu Heng, the little maid's status is far beyond that of an ordinary female official.

Ding dong~!

The cell phone on the crystal coffee table suddenly lit up.

Brittany glanced at it, and the maid immediately handed her the phone, saying, "Here you go!"

Brittany glanced at the message, raised an eyebrow, and quickly replied.

"Is it good news?" the maid asked with a smile.

“Okay!” Brittany replied, locking her phone. “Go tell the kitchen to prepare dinner; make it a big meal.”

"Alright, would you like me to help you for a walk in the courtyard?" the maid continued.

“No need, just let me know when dinner is ready,” Brittany added. “Remember to knock.”

"Oh!" the maidservant curtsied. "Then I'll go prepare."

After saying that, he left the room.

The door closed, and Brittany picked up her phone and quickly typed and sent a message.

Two or three seconds later, a flash of light appeared in the center of the bedroom, and Wu Heng's figure appeared out of thin air.

Wu Heng sent the message in advance because he had frightened Li Yahong last time, so as not to come over rashly and frighten the pregnant Brittany.

“My lord!” Brittany exclaimed with delight, rising to her feet and bowing.

"You're pregnant, no need to be so polite." Wu Heng sat down on the edge of the bed and carefully examined her.

Her long golden hair was adorned with jeweled hair accessories, and her round face had shed its girlish innocence, adding a touch of maternal gentleness.

Only those emerald eyes still held the same admiration they had when they first met.

"Where are Sister Sanella and Philippa? Weren't they supposed to come together?" Brittani asked curiously when she saw that he was alone.

Wu Heng put his arm around her shoulder and said in a low voice, "I didn't bring them with me."

Seeing his serious expression, Brittany frowned as well. "Has something happened?" "Someone wants to use my participation in Courage Week to make a move against me." Wu Heng tightened his grip on her shoulder.

"What?" Brittany's pupils shrank, and she said urgently, "Impossible, I didn't tell anyone, no one knew you would come."

"Don't rush!" Wu Heng gestured for her not to shout, and then said, "It's not your problem. The other party may have predicted, or used methods we don't understand, that I would be attending this event."

Brittany grabbed his collar. "Then you can still come over. It's okay if you cancel this time."

“It is precisely because it is a trap that we must come.” Wu Heng interrupted her, “Two days later, during Courage Week, you will proceed with the celebration as planned. I will find the enemy and eliminate them.”

Brittany bit her lower lip and finally nodded emphatically.

As the two were talking, Xiao Xiao flew in and appeared in mid-air, saying, "Greetings, Princess!"

“Little!” Brittany’s attention was diverted, and she smiled.

Little Fei moved closer and pointed to her stomach, "Sister, is it a little brother or a little sister inside?"

"It's still hard to tell... which one do you like?" Brittany asked with a smile.

"I'm fine with anything!" Xiaoxiao tilted her head. "I'll help you take care of the kids from now on!"

Brittany glanced at Wu Heng, "Okay, from now on we'll look after Xiao Xiao."

"Yes, yes! I can name things too," Xiaoxiao continued, promoting herself.

I tried hard to think of how I could help in this matter.

The other three ghosts remained invisible, floating in other parts of the room, silently listening to the conversation.

It's not that I don't care, it's just that I've gotten used to being silent.

dong dong.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

The maid's voice came through the door, "Dinner is ready!"

Brittani and Wu Heng exchanged a glance and said softly, "Bring it in. I'll eat in my bedchamber tonight."

"Eh? Don't you need me to accompany you?" the maid asked.

"I'll call you later."

"Oh!" the maid replied, then turned and left.

A moment later, servants filed in carrying trays of food, and a grand feast was laid out on the round table in the outer hall.

After the servants left, Wu Heng came out of the room.

The soundproof kettle was placed in the middle, and Brittany and I ate and chatted.

……

After the tableware was cleared away, the moonlight had already climbed up the window frame.

Wu Heng assigned patrol duties to the ghosts and distributed books and tablets.

Even a city-wide inspection can't be completed in just one night.

If you don't have anything else to do, you should still do things that interest you.

The ghosts dispersed, and Xiaoxiao said "Goodnight, Princess Sister" before flying away.

……

When Wu Heng finished washing up and returned to bed, Brittany had already changed into a silver-threaded nightgown.

Her golden hair flowed across the deep red embroidered pillow, making her bare shoulders and neck appear as smooth and lustrous as porcelain.

Wu Heng got into bed from one side, and Brittany immediately snuggled into his arms, her hair still carrying a faint floral scent.

"Be careful." Wu Heng protected her slightly protruding belly.

Brittany chuckled and poked his tense muscles with her fingertip. "You're not that fragile."

The collar of her bathrobe slipped down with her movements, revealing a section of her snow-white collarbone.

The two snuggled together and chatted about the latest developments on Treasure Island. When the topic turned to Winmansa, Brittany's ears suddenly turned bright red.

After a moment's hesitation, she suddenly broke free from his embrace and knelt up. With a light flick of her slender fingers, her silk nightgown slid off her shoulders like flowing water.

"What's wrong?" Before Wu Heng could finish speaking, Brittany leaned down and kissed his lower abdomen, her lips warm.

When Wu Heng placed his palm on the top of her head, he said, "Don't force yourself."

“Sister Winmansa said…” Brittany looked up, her eyes glistening with tears, “that’s how she helped you when she was pregnant.”

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, "You two talk about this in private?"

"N-no, I didn't!" Brittany's face flushed instantly, and she stubbornly pursed her lips. "It was just mentioned by chance... Waaah..."

Wu Heng's hand slid down her spine and into her long, golden hair, pressing down gently.

Brittany's large eyes looked over through her falling hair, a mixture of reproach and shyness in them.

Then he looked away.

Moonlight filtered through the gauze curtains, and the two enjoyed the joy of their brief separation.

……

The next day, early morning.

Brittany left early, as she still needed to hear the ministers report on the kingdom's affairs.

The two agreed that she would handle the arrangements for Courage Week as usual, and Wu Heng would take care of the rest.

Wu Heng sat in his bedroom, with ghosts floating around him.

Granda said, "Several attendants were found in the palace. They are probably spies planted here. It is not yet certain whether they are from the Holy See or some other force."

"Remember them all first, and don't touch them for now," Wu Heng said.

Sure enough, some spies were planted inside the palace.

Granda nodded.

Benny said, "We still can't get into the Vatican's chapel, and the priests inside rarely come and go. I feel like there shouldn't be any heroes there."

Xiao Xiao said, "My aunt and I checked the taverns and inns in the city, and there was no one suspicious."

The empress then added, "The danger may not be in the city."

Wu Heng frowned; the information and the intelligence were not quite matching up.

The tortoise shell indicates that there will be problems during the Week of Courage, but no one or anything in the city has been found that could threaten him.

Although the results of divination using tortoise shells are vague, they have never been wrong so far.

“It seems more likely that they are hiding outside,” Wu Heng continued. “It’s better that they’re not in the city; we can prepare in advance.”

The four ghosts nodded.

After chatting for a couple more minutes, Wu Heng stood up and said, "Let's go check out the zombie world. It's been a while since we've been there."

The ghost returned to his body, and Wu Heng opened the gate and stepped inside.

……

A zombie apocalypse, in a prison control room.

In the dimly lit room, dozens of surveillance screens flickered with a cold light.

The ghosts possessed the dolls, each holding a mobile phone, and gathered together to browse the forum.

Wu Heng glanced at the footage on the monitor, picked up the phone, and dialed Li Yahong's number.

"Hello?" Li Yahong's voice came from the other end of the phone, along with the sound of a car.

"How are the missionary priests doing?" Wu Heng asked directly.

“Everything went smoothly.” Li Yahong’s tone was tinged with pride. “As you arranged, we have used the South Korean base as a transit point to send the first batch of priests to various bases for missionary work, and the feedback has been even better than expected.”

Wu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did you encounter any resistance?"

While asking the question, he simultaneously opened the panel to check his faith value.

【Faith: 11724/50000.】

Wu Heng's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Over 10,000!
I rely on!
