Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1074: Faith Increases Again

The two dwarves who were taken away were both level 19, which makes them top professionals in any force.

Bruno's eager attitude was also expected. Dwarves have always been protective of their own people, let alone such elite ones.

"What conditions do you think are suitable, Chief Bruno?" Wu Heng threw the question back.

Heavy breathing could be heard from the other end of the radio. After a moment, Bruno said in a muffled voice, "Treasure Island has no shortage of gold coins. We're in the wrong this time. How about this...!"

He paused, as if making a great decision, and said, "I promise in the name of the leader that you can use the Molten Core unlimited times from now on, without having to pay any fees."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, and Lilith's eyes widened a little.

Each use of Molten Core costs 2500 gold coins, which is nothing to Wu Heng, and nothing to the entire dwarf community.

But you can also hear another layer of meaning.

This rare item does not belong to Wu Heng, but he has the right to use it unlimitedly.

Especially since Wu Heng can see the 'progress of smelting' and will go there frequently after collecting curious materials, it is indeed more sincere than other compensations.

"Okay." Wu Heng agreed straightforwardly.

"Uh... okay!" Bruno replied, sounding surprised that the negotiations would go so smoothly. "I'll send someone to deliver the chief's order to Treasure Island. From now on, you'll go there with the order. When the dwarves see it, they'll know what to do."

Wu Heng then asked, "Should I release him immediately, or wait for further arrangements?"

The dwarf leader said: "Just let them go and let them go back on their own."

At this point, Lilith suddenly took over the microphone and said, "Treasure Island is quite far from the dwarven territory. If we release them directly, it will be difficult to track them along the way."

After a brief pause, he continued, "Why not let them follow the association's ships? Every port has records, and everyone can rest assured."

This is because I am afraid that these two people will die or go missing along the way, and it will be difficult to explain.

The dwarf leader didn't say much, "Alright! Lilith, make some arrangements and have them go to the association to avoid any more trouble."

"Alright!" Lilith agreed, then continued, "Tell your people to calm down. The situation has just stabilized a bit, and if anything else happens, you won't be able to escape responsibility."

The dwarf snorted coldly, his anger evident in his words, "Also take care of your vampires and stop staring at others."

The two exchanged a few words and then hung up the call.

Wu Heng looked at Lilith and said, "I have locked those two dwarves in the mansion. Should I let them out now?"

"Don't stay here, go to the courtyard, and I'll take them to the association later." Lilith said.

The two headed to the courtyard.

Wu Heng casually opened the [Mansion Technique] and ordered inside, "Bring them out."

The skeleton came out carrying the imprisoned dwarf and threw him on the ground as if unloading cargo.

The two dwarves staggered to their feet, their hair disheveled and their once carefully braided beards unkempt.

The mansion is a living space constructed where Letili can live a normal life, but it definitely does not include prisoners.

It's good enough to be able to provide some food.

The two men looked like drunkards pulled out of a wine barrel, with only their eyes still shining brightly.

After getting used to the outside environment, when their eyes met Lilith, their pupils suddenly constricted, and then when they turned to Wu Heng, their pupils dilated again in an instant.

"Greetings, greetings to the two leaders!" The two dwarves immediately saluted.

Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a stern tone, "Bruenor exchanged the use of the Molten Core for your lives. Now follow me to the Guild, and then take the Guild's ship back to the Dwarven Territory."

"Yes, Lord Chief." Cold sweat broke out on the dwarf's forehead.

During the period of imprisonment in the mansion, it was also analyzed that the person who went to Deepfurnace Castle was Wu Heng in disguise.

It’s already good enough that I can save my life now.

Lilith scolded softly, "You should learn your lesson this time. If you dare to do anything again, you won't be so lucky next time."

"We don't dare anymore."

Having said that, Lilith stopped talking. After all, she was not a vampire, so there was no point in saying more.

"Let's go! Let's go to the association." Then he walked straight out.

The two dwarves saluted Wu Heng again, then turned and followed him out.

Wu Heng watched the few people disappear and used [Teleportation] to return to the Island Master's Mansion.

……

Return to the Island Owner's Mansion.

As soon as Wu Heng stepped into the hall, he saw Xiaoxiao and Benny huddled on the sofa, talking about something, and heard a burst of laughter.

Hearing footsteps, Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Wu Heng. She immediately ran over and grabbed his hand, "Uncle! You haven't been seen since early this morning. Where have you been?"

"I went to Lilith and talked to the dwarf leader about exchanging the two dwarves." Wu Heng said with a smile, sitting down on the sofa. "I used the free use of Molten Core to exchange the two."

"That's it? They were so arrogant before." Xiaoxiao said dissatisfiedly.

Benny also said, "We don't need this little money."

"This is different. It's a permanent free trial!" Wu Heng smiled and explained, "Don't you feel that, apart from not having it in our hands, this is no different from having an extra rare item?"

Beni raised her eyebrows, "Your angle seems to be right."

Tiny said, "Wow! Dwarves are so generous."

"Besides, giving the dwarf a favor is more cost-effective than asking for a ransom directly." Wu Heng continued, "Where is your aunt?"

"She's upstairs. Do you want to call her?" Xiaoxiao shook her legs.

"Call her and let's go practice." Wu Heng said.

"Okay!" Xiaoxiao agreed, and her soul left the puppet and flew upstairs.

Not long after, the queen came down slowly, holding the handrail of the stairs. Xiaoxiao Piao was beside her, talking about the redemption of the two dwarves.

"Is it settled?" The Queen walked up the stairs.

"Well! They will leave on the association's ship. If people get lost, it won't be our fault." Wu Heng continued.

"Let's go and practice first!" The empress came over and naturally placed her fingertips on his arm.

The light of teleportation lit up, and the two figures disappeared.

……

West City Training Ground.

The skeletons placed materials into the formation, while the empress finished drawing the runes on his body.

After the runes were drawn, Wu Heng took out the [Truth Carving Knife] and silently recited the rules he wanted to change.

The first one increases the speed of cultivation, and the second one minimizes the pain during cultivation.

The rules come into effect, and invisible energy covers a certain area around.

After everything is ready.

Wu Heng walked into the formation and sat cross-legged.

The empress leaned lazily on the chair and said casually: "Light the fire!"

Boom~!

A pillar of red fire shot up into the sky, and silver lightning flashed in the sky.

Wu Heng sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, with the pores all over his body dilated, like the mouth of a glutton, greedily devouring the violent energy.

Unlike before, the pain was greatly reduced after the rules were modified, allowing him to clearly feel every bit of energy flowing through his body.

The bones made a clear sound like jade hitting each other, and the muscle fibers were reorganized as if they were reborn.

Concentrate your mind and calm your breath, start practicing the exercises with full concentration to improve your practice efficiency.

At noon, the practice ended.

Wu Heng came out steaming. The Empress hooked a strand of hair with her fingertips and asked casually, "How is it?"

"I have a feeling. I'll be able to learn it after a few more times." Wu Heng said seriously.

"Oh?" The Queen raised her eyebrows, "You are quite confident."

"The carving knife has greatly improved our work efficiency." Wu Heng immediately added, "And your company!"

"Slippery!" The Queen rolled her eyes at him. "Let's go back!"

"Yes, I need to go back to the zombie world this afternoon." Wu Heng walked over and stood beside her. He used a teleportation spell to return to the island lord's mansion.

Had lunch.

Wu Heng called Xiaoxiao and asked her to go home.

After all the ghosts came back, he opened the door in the study and walked in.

……

Zombie world.

The gate closed, and Wu Heng stepped on the dusty concrete floor, stirring up fine dust.

I walked to the window and opened it, and the slight cool breeze diluted the stuffiness in the room.

Outside the window, yellow fallen leaves appeared on the road, and some skeletons were holding brooms and sweeping the fallen leaves together.

In Treasure Island, the sense of seasons is less pronounced, but autumn is already here.

After releasing the ghosts and distributing the dolls and cell phones, everyone found a seat and started opening their phones to browse the forum.

Wu Heng also took out his cell phone and dialed the number.

Soon, Li Yahong's confident voice was heard, "Hey! Wu Heng?"

"How is the base lately?" Wu Heng asked directly.

"Sister Zhao's global evangelism just ended." Li Yahong spoke quickly and clearly. "She visited both large and medium-sized bases, helping survivors with disabilities recover. Now Lingqi Church is recognized worldwide, and the response has been quite positive."

The plan of global evangelism was finalized when Wu Heng handed over the Vatican's scepter to Zhao Yanqiu.

Zhao Yanqiu went to the dwarf territory and walked around it completely.

The transportation here is convenient and can shorten the time spent on the road.

"That's pretty good." Wu Heng said as he opened the panel to check the faith value.

【Faith: 36510/50000】.

Thirty-six thousand.

When Wu Heng saw this number, he raised his eyebrows.

At this rate, it is not impossible to make a heroic breakthrough before the end of the year.

"Small base, no arrangements?"

There was a pause on the other end of the line. "Many remote outposts are still under the threat of zombies, and the roads are difficult to get to, so we haven't arranged any itineraries."

"Didn't the Dawn Alliance help these small bases?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

As far as I can remember, the Dawn Alliance had a plan to help small and medium-sized bases a long time ago.

"Yes! But the small strongholds are too scattered, and we can't take care of so many places for the time being." Li Yahong said.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then said, "We can arrange some skeleton troops to rescue them, which will also help replenish the population in the base."

"Okay! I'll discuss this matter with Qi Hancai later." Li Yahong replied.

"How's Gao Rong doing?"

The sound of flipping through documents came from the other side. Li Yahong reported seriously, "The military factory has produced three more long-range infrasonic missiles. At the same time, they have also carried out research and development of various types of infrasonic weapons. I will send you the information later."

"Alright! Have someone deliver the infrasonic missiles as well!" Wu Heng said, and then continued, "Those skeletons we sent out earlier, bring them back as well."

It refers to the three Holy Sees that were killed last time.

After being transformed into a skeleton by Wu Heng, he was arranged to go out and level up.

"Okay, I'll arrange it later." Li Yahong replied.

"I'm fine now. You should remember to train more." Wu Heng reminded with a smile.

"I know! I'm training every day!" Li Yahong said, and suddenly thought of something else, "Oh right! The investigation into the Nuwa Temple is almost complete. I'll compile the information and send it to you in the next two days."

"it is good!"

The two continued chatting for a while and then hung up the phone.

He glanced at the four puppets browsing the forum behind him, and continued to click on Zhao Yanqiu's video call.

The background was a magnificent church. Zhao Yanqiu, wearing an archbishop's robe, held up her phone and asked, "What's going on?"

"I'm busy?"

"I'm not busy, nothing to do." Zhao Yanqiu smiled.

"Let the child look at his mother!" Wu Heng called out behind him, "Xiaoxiao, come and talk to your mother."

Xiaoxiao ran over from behind and said to the phone, "Mom, are you preaching?"

"Ah! Have you listened to your uncle recently?" Zhao Yanqiu asked.

"Mom! Why do you always treat me like a child?" Xiaoxiao said helplessly.

Wu Heng also said, "Xiaoxiao is very well behaved."

"That's good!"

Wu Heng brought Xiao Xiao and chatted with Zhao Yanqiu for a while, and then made a video chat with Qi Hancai.

We also continued to talk about the base.

After all, I haven't visited them for a while, so I'd like to keep in touch with them to avoid being accused of neglecting them.

After chatting for a while, we hung up the phone.

Wu Heng and the ghosts were browsing the forum together.

The internet has improved now, and the videos in the posts are much clearer than before, unlike the beginning when there were only text and blurry images.

In the forum, among the four top titles, one is the Dawn Alliance, and the remaining three are about the Lingqi Church.

Wu Heng clicked on one of them and saw Zhao Yanqiu using the scepter to regenerate the limb of a survivor who had lost an arm.

The survivors have standard Western faces and the footage is very clear.

The comments below are almost unanimous in their praise and support, with almost no words of opposition.

In the zombie world, Lingqi Church has become the only orthodox religion.

Wu Heng was increasingly looking forward to what he would become after breaking through the heroic stage.

With the ghosts, I kept scrolling through my phone until dusk.

After looking at the sky, he took the ghosts back to Treasure Island.

……

Three days later, at the port.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, but densely packed ships had already emerged on the sea surface, their bows gleaming in the sunlight and their flags on the masts fluttering.

"Drop anchor! Lower the gangway!"

Amid the shouts of the sailors, the ship slowly approached the shore, and then, merchants and dignitaries dressed in gorgeous clothes slowly landed on the island.

Walk towards the bustling commercial street.

The news of the new product exhibition spread throughout the Emerald Sea, and the association's recognition of Treasure Island attracted people to come to Treasure Island.

Gradually, the number of people on the entire street began to increase.

The rich and powerful strolled around casually, while the vendors loudly sold their goods.

……

Island owner's mansion.

Wu Heng was sitting in the living room. Several skeletons kept moving beautifully wrapped gifts from outside into the living room, gradually piling up a small mountain in the corner.

Since yesterday, people have been visiting the island owner's mansion non-stop, and today there is a long queue.

Wu Heng still followed the previous method. Minnie and Robbe stood guard at the door, and wrote down the names on the pretext that he was not there, and accepted the gifts at the same time.

Even so, gifts continued to arrive.

Wu Heng and Xi Lagui were texting each other, talking about her mother's situation on the island.

At this time, Xiao Xiao flew back from outside and said, "Uncle, I found an 18th-level professional who was sneaking around."
