Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 940: Princess Signs Contract
There was an eerie silence in the room.

Seeing Wu Heng remained silent for a long time, the ghost's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and he said sarcastically: "Why, are you scared? The iron cavalry of the Holy See will flatten your Treasure Island and take away everything you cherish..."

Before he finished speaking, three ghosts suddenly gathered together and whispered.

"She is so fierce." Xiaoxiao shrank behind Benny.

Beni protected her and said, "Is this what Wu Heng always talked about... What disease is that?"

"Paranoia?" Glenda replied.

"Yes, yes!" Benny nodded immediately.

"So she is sick! She looks so pitiful." Xiaoxiao also said.

The ghost's expression froze instantly, and his threat seemed to have no effect.

She glared at the three souls fiercely and found that the three people opposite were still whispering about her.

I feel so sad!
He crossed his arms, turned his face to the side, and muttered, "What kind of people are they?"

"Are you from the same clan as that three-eyed general?" Wu Heng suddenly asked.

"Hmph!" The ghost glanced sideways and leaned his body to the inside again.

Wu Heng glanced at Glenda, who in turn winked at Benny.

Benny frowned, but still said, "She is definitely not one of them. That general has three eyes on his forehead, but she doesn't have any. She also has a fox tail, so she is obviously from the fox tribe."

The upper part of the soul is the clearest, while the lower part is becoming increasingly illusory.

But a fox tail can still be seen.

In addition, having come into contact with Andviel, one would naturally think of the fox people.

"Country women, what do you know?" The ghost sneered.

"Then do you dare to tell the truth?" Benny approached with her hands on her waist, and her eloquence, which she had acquired in the tavern, came in handy at this moment. "Or do you only know those little tricks behind the scenes?"

The ghost suddenly smiled, "Provocation doesn't work on me..., little girl!"

As they were talking, the clear laughter of the fifth princess and Shannara's voice could be heard from downstairs.

Wu Heng's fingertips moved slightly, and he was sucked back into the Demon Soul Pot amid the ghost's loud cursing.

Boom boom boom!
"Wu Heng?" Shanara's voice sounded along with the knock on the door.

The three souls retreated into the shadows in tacit understanding.

"Come in!" Wu Heng said.

When the door opened, Shannara strode in, followed by the fifth princess.

"How did you catch him?" Shannara asked directly.

"We caught up with a passenger ship along the way. The leather boots and belt were left behind to confuse us." Wu Heng said, and continued to recount the whole story.

The two girls listened carefully, and Shannara continued to ask, "Who is targeting you?"

There were two speculations before. One was that the ghost had a grudge against him and the man was the ghost's vassal. The second was that the man had a grudge and helped the ghost find props to nourish the ghost so that the ghost could frame him.

Wu Heng sat down opposite the two girls and said, "The ghost is also an old grudge. One of her friends died in my hands before."

The two women exchanged glances and relaxed.

It doesn’t really matter why the other party wants to harm Wu Heng.

The most worrying thing is to find the person behind the scenes, prove Wu Heng's innocence, and avoid the deterioration of the relationship between Treasure Island and the Vatican.

Now that we have caught the target, the problem will naturally be solved.

The three of them continued chatting in the study for a while.

Shannara and the fifth princess left again to do their own things.

……

After dinner, study.

Ring ring ring~!

The cell phone rang and the caller ID showed it was Lilith.

"Captain Lilith!" Wu Heng answered the phone and said directly.

"How's the investigation going?" Lilith asked coldly.

"The target has been captured." Wu Heng answered directly.

Lilith's tone was obviously much more relaxed. "So, the intelligence was effective?"

"Thanks to the information from the Secret Talker." Wu Heng said.

The ability to capture the target is largely due to the fact that the whisperer provides the other party's location.

Of course, the other party had also made preparations in advance and left false clues to confuse himself.

But it also proves the power of the Secret Whisperer's intelligence.

"Come back as soon as possible after you catch him, before the Vatican receives the information." Lilith said.

"Okay." Wu Heng agreed.

After the conversation, the phone was hung up.

Wu Heng glanced at his phone and put it away.

Dong Dong~!

After two gentle knocks on the door, the Fifth Princess' voice came timidly, "Master Chief?"

"I'm here, come in!" Wu Heng said.

A girl in home clothes pushed the door open and stood opposite, clutching the corner of her clothes, feeling a little awkward.

Seeing her appearance, Wu Heng asked curiously, "Did someone bully you?"

"No, no." The Fifth Princess raised her head and said, "Are you going back tomorrow?"

"Well, the construction of the church still needs your help." Wu Heng said in a gentle tone.

The girl suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with stubbornness, "You promised to support me, do you still keep your word on this matter?"

The room suddenly became quiet.

Wu Heng looked at her immature yet somewhat determined appearance and said, "This path may not suit your personality."

"I'm not afraid. We can't hand the kingdom over to them anymore!" The fifth princess knelt on one knee, "Please sign a contract with me."

The moonlight shines through the window pane and falls on the fifth princess.

Wu Heng suddenly remembered the first time they met. The fifth princess stood aside with an imposing manner and said that she wanted to form her own team. She invited Wu Heng to join and help her take back the kingdom.

This time she still asked Wu Heng to help her, but in a different way.

Wu Heng looked at her and said, "Once the contract is signed, you can't go back on your word. You have to think it through."

"I have thought it through very clearly. Going to Treasure Island is my best choice, and I believe this is the right choice." The fifth princess said in a more serious tone.

"Okay, I promise you." Wu Heng took out a slave scroll.

A drop of blood was taken from the fifth princess's fingertips, and a ray of light penetrated into her brow.

After a brief moment of weakness, the fifth princess stood up carefully, lowered her head and blushed, "Master!"

Wu Heng laughed, "You can call me leader or island owner."

Shannara must have told her a lot about maids and even called her master.

The princess was trained to be a maid.

"Then I will call you Lord Wu Heng." The fifth princess replied.

"Okay, it's good enough for us to know about this. You are still the fifth princess outside." Wu Heng continued.

"Yes! Then I'll go down first." The fifth princess also showed a relaxed expression on her face, as if she had completed an important task.

"Yeah!" Wu Heng nodded.

The fifth princess retreated immediately.

……

All the way downstairs.

Shannara sat on the couch, fiddling with her phone.

Seeing her coming down, he smiled and said, "It seems like you guys had a pleasant conversation?"

"Lord Wu Heng said he would support me." The fifth princess skipped over and sat down opposite.

"Has the contract been signed?"

"It's signed. My lord said I don't have to call her master like the maids do. I can just call her my lord." The fifth princess said happily.

Shannella patted the seat next to her, asking the other person to sit over, and then said softly, "This is the first step. You are of the same race, so you must know how to use your advantages."

The fifth princess frowned, then her face turned red again, and she said in a low voice, "I don't understand what you are saying, sister."

Shannara said, "The mayor of Rentam City gave birth to a child for him. There have been constant disputes between that city and the Yeko Kingdom. If both sides become his territory in the future, won't you suffer a loss?"

The fifth princess widened her eyes. She knew that there was a female mayor in Rentam City.

But she didn't know that she had already given birth to a child for Wu Heng.

"My Lord has promised to support me," said the Fifth Princess.

"What about the next generation..."

The fifth princess raised her head and said, "This is too fast!"

……

The next day, the association.

In the elders' study, Wu Heng, Elder Tapani, and Dean Gianvito were all sitting in the room. Wu Heng told them about the arrest.

The two people opposite also slowly exhaled.

Tapani asked, “What are you going to do with the body?”

"I will take it back to Treasure Island and interrogate the body with Chief Lilith, so that the chief can help me testify." Wu Heng answered while sitting on the sofa.

Gianvito stroked his beard and nodded in agreement, "It is indeed more credible with Chief Lilith following."

Tapani continued, "When will you go back?"

"I'll be leaving soon. I came here just to say hello to you." Wu Heng said with a smile.

Catching the murderer also made him feel much more relaxed.

Otherwise, Wu Heng would have thought that the other party's methods were done by himself, let alone outsiders.

Tapani smiled and said, "Once you have dealt with it, I will issue a notice in the name of the local association to those who attended the banquet to prove your innocence."

"Okay!" Wu Heng did not refuse.

If the news of the attempt to rape the priestess at the party got out, it would have a bad impact on him.

Especially churches were being built.

The three of them continued chatting for a while, and Tapani said, "The bishop has been kneeling in the association for two days. Let him learn a lesson, that's fine. But if we don't untie him, it will be a problem."

If I hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten about the other person.

"Have someone bring him here!" Wu Heng said.

Tapani stood up, said something to the staff outside the door, and came back to continue chatting casually.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door.

The local bishop walked in wearing a hood, and when he saw Wu Heng sitting in the room, fear flashed across his eyes.

Then he bowed slightly.

Wu Heng waved his hand casually, and the bishop felt something and immediately touched his mouth with a look of joy on his face.

The hero's power was so terrifying that it was easily unlocked.

Tapani reminded, "Why don't you thank the chief?"

The bishop immediately bowed and said, "I was affected by my emotions before. Please forgive me, Chief."

Wu Heng nodded and continued, "The murderer has been caught. I will interrogate him together with the leader of the association."

The bishop still lowered his head, his eyes slightly focused.

There really is a murderer.

I still had doubts in my heart, but after learning from the last lesson, I didn't dare to say anything more.

He bowed respectfully, "Yes!"

"Let's go back." Wu Heng said.

The other party bowed again and left the room.

There were three people left in the room again.

Wu Heng said, "I have nothing to do, so I'll go back first. If you have anything, write to me."

"Okay!" The two nodded.

Wu Heng returned to the City Lord's Mansion and asked Shanara to enter the [Mansion Technique].

He said goodbye to the fifth princess again, and after a brief explanation, he put on the [conductor's hat] and boarded the train.

……

It was almost dusk when the train arrived at Treasure Island.

After getting off the train, he released the [Teleportation Spell] and returned directly to the Island Owner's Mansion.

After releasing Shannara and speaking to the maids, he took the body to the association.

Inside the morgue.

Xi Lagui and Shi Yali stood at his side, and behind him were two investigators from the association who were responsible for record keeping.

There was also a coroner inside, conducting an autopsy and recording it.

Ta Ta Ta Ta~!

Lilith's black skirt swept across the stone steps, and she walked down the stairs and appeared in everyone's sight.

"Captain Lilith." Xilagui took the lead in saluting.

The investigators and coroners who had never seen Lilith also reacted immediately and followed suit.

Lilith nodded slightly, with no expression on her cold face, "How is the body?"

Xilagui glanced at the coroner who was recording the death, and he said, "Male, between 25 and 30 years old, cause of death was a broken neck."

Lilith looked at Wu Heng, "Didn't you say there are still ghosts?"

"The ghost was the murderer who killed the priestess. During the battle, he was devoured by my ghost. We can only rely on the corpse as evidence." Wu Heng explained.

After careful consideration, he decided not to tell anyone about the ghost.

The zombie world is too important to me, not to mention that there is still a corpse now, even if there is no corpse, I am really framed as the murderer.

This ghost must not fall into the hands of outsiders.

Lilith glared at him without leaving any trace, then said calmly, "Ask the corpse, and the investigator will record it truthfully."

"Yes!" the investigator responded immediately.

Wu Heng then released [Talk to the Dead] towards the corpse.

The rich power of the dead wrapped around the corpse. The next second, the corpse suddenly sat up, with its head half drooping and its turbid eyes looking over here.

Seeing that Lilith had no intention of speaking, Wu Heng asked directly, "At the banquet in the Lord's Mansion of Netalei City, the priestess was killed by a ghost. Is this incident related to you?"

The corpse replied, "Relevant!"

Wu Heng continued to ask: "What is the purpose of the ghost controlling the corpse of the priestess to attend the banquet?"

The corpse replied, "The queen said she had a grudge against the hero Wu Heng, and planned to use this banquet to have the Church kill him."

Your Majesty!

There is no such name here, it is more common on my side.

The eyes of several people who had not known what had happened before widened.

Frame the leader!

These people are so brave.

Xi Lagui glanced at Wu Heng quietly, then turned back to look at the investigator and asked carefully, "Did you write it down?"

"I've made note of it." The investigator nodded.

Wu Heng then asked, "When did the priestess die?"

The corpse replied, "Three days before the feast."

Having asked this question, I can be sure that I have been framed.

The fourth question, Wu Heng asked: "Has the ghost been controlling this body these days?"

"No, I only thought of this priest when I learned about the banquet," the corpse replied.

Wu Heng frowned.

Some things are starting to not make sense.

But it has little to do with his own matter. He turned to look at Lilith and said, "Leader, there is one last question."

Lilith said, "Ask him if there are other people involved in this?"

Wu Heng asked directly: "Were there other people involved in the slander at the banquet?"

The corpse replied, "No more."

After the five questions were answered, the body fell back onto the iron bed with a thud.

The investigators are still recording.

Lilith said, "Collect all the records tonight and send them directly to the headquarters tomorrow morning. Send this body as well."

"Yes!" Xilagui nodded.

Lilith turned around and left. Wu Heng winked at the two elf sisters and followed Lilith away.

……

Exit the morgue area.

"Chief, I know how to teleport. Let's go back together." Wu Heng caught up.

Lilith glared at him in reproach, "Next time you run around..."

"Don't blame me this time." Wu Heng smiled bitterly.

"You're so old, but you're causing trouble wherever you go." Lilith scolded him, and then said, "Wait until the report is out, and then see the attitude of the Holy See. The mediation of your affairs by our department has not been going smoothly in the past."

"I didn't kill him, just look at his attitude." Wu Heng was speechless.

Lilith glared at him again.

Wu Heng continued, "Chief, I still have some questions when I was questioning the corpse just now."

"What's the problem?" Lilith asked as she walked.

"There is a priest named Nasir over there. He was the one who brought this priestess to the banquet. After the incident, I asked him about the priestess, but he concealed the fact that the priestess had disappeared a few days ago."
