Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 997: Not Afraid of the Vatican’s Partners
Death knell!
Standard Necromancer skill.

The cover is black with a relief of a skull and a bell tower.

There is nothing much to guess about this book. It must be a reward provided according to one's profession.

In terms of effect, it is very similar to the Priest's [Mirage Choir]. After the "Choir" is released, the phantom of the choir will appear in the air, affecting the targets within the range.

The difference is that the choir amplifies the living and suppresses the undead.

This skill book amplifies the undead and suppresses the living.

I focus on one thing, and I also want to have what other professions have.

When I first became a hero, I was in urgent need of a skill book. I inquired through various channels and even found some mages to exchange skill books for reading.

After all, he only had the level of a hero at that time, and his means of attack basically relied on modern weapons.

But now it’s different. Ever since he mastered the ancient skill [Ze Yin Shu], ordinary skill books have become less attractive to him.

The skill [Ze Yin Shu] can satisfy all his attack needs.

Therefore, Wu Heng was not so concerned about the association's skill books.

However, the group effect of [Death Knell] may still come in handy in certain situations.

Wu Heng watched as the elf elder began to introduce the items. "Master Chief, the first item is the 'Cursed Ash Staff', a rare item of the spell system."

The rest of the people do not have the ability to see information about strange objects, so they still need the association's records and begin to introduce them one by one.

Wu Heng listened to all the introductions patiently and nodded, "Okay, I'll accept the compensation."

"Please sign for it." The elf elder handed over a receipt.

After the two sisters confirmed the amount of gold coins was correct, Wu Heng stamped it with the leader's emblem.

The elf elder was obviously relieved. This ruthless man who killed three heroes was much easier to talk to than he had imagined.

The room was silent for two or three seconds.

The elf elder leaned forward slightly and said respectfully, "Master Chief, Chief Hadarai asked us to ask if we can buy more communication props. The association is willing to continue to exchange for second-level merit."

The merits promised last time have not been redeemed for me yet, and now I want more radio stations.

It seems that the radio station sent to them really brought them convenience.

Being able to communicate in real time is much more convenient than transmitting letters, and only we have the radio technology, and even the most advanced machine builders and array masters cannot imitate it.

I can't agree to it too readily.

We have to let them know how precious this thing is, and each frequency band must be handled properly so as not to interfere with each other and prevent them from suspecting us of eavesdropping.

Wu Heng pretended to be hesitant and said, "The production process of this prop is very complicated..."

After a brief pause, he said, "How about this? You guys stay on the island for two days. I need to discuss with the technical team to see if we can provide a few more machines."

Seeing that there was something to talk about, the elders immediately agreed, "Okay, we will wait for your good news."

After finishing the business, the elf elder carefully glanced at Xi Lagui and Shi Yali beside him, took out an exquisite wooden box from the space ring, and handed it to Wu Heng, "This is the moonlight flower tea specially made by the tribe. I hope you can try it, Chief. If you like it, I will send you some regularly in the future."

The other elders also presented gifts.

None of them are particularly gorgeous or precious items, they are mainly used to show respect and build closer relationships.

Wu Heng accepted it with a smile, "That's thoughtful! Have a good rest on the island, and feel free to ask Xi Lagui for help if you need anything."

Xi Lagui replied at the right time, "Shi Yali, take the elders to the prepared rooms, and remember to book a dinner at the tavern to welcome the elders."

"Yes!" Shi Yali replied, and turned to the elders, "The rest room is ready. The environment is much more comfortable than the tavern."

The elders saluted Wu Heng again, then followed Shi Yali out of the study.

After the door was closed, Xilagui finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This kind of tea is very expensive."

Treasure Island regularly sends elven scented tea to the two sisters, and they are familiar with the prices of various scented teas.

Wu Heng handed it to her and said, "If you like it, just order some. We don't need this little money now."

"Take it and drink it. We have all drunk it, and it was given to you." Xilagui said directly.

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Okay, if it tastes good, we can order some and have it delivered every month."

"I'll listen to you." Xilagui said with a smile, and then handed him the space sachet containing 50 gold coins. "50! I've never seen so much money in my life."

"It's guaranteed by the association, otherwise the Holy See would definitely not pay so honestly." Wu Heng said with a smile.

"It's good enough that they can give it. This much money is considered as some of their loss." Xilagui said bitterly.

Ever since the Vatican targeted Treasure Island, she has hated the Vatican.

Pure bullying.

Worse than a cult.

“For a sect that has been operating for thousands of years, this little money is nothing.” Wu Heng put away the space sachet.

"That's right!" Xilagui agreed.

Wu Heng smiled, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

The whole person sits on his thighs.

"What? Don't do that here..." Xilagui was about to speak when her mouth was blocked.

The two of them lingered for a long time.

Wu Heng reached out and began to unbutton her coat. There was an inner coat underneath, and it took him a while to unbutton it.

I just untied her belt.

Xi Lagui was stunned and punched him twice in the ribs, "Are you crazy? I have to go to a meeting later. Don't stay here."

"Then just enjoy it." Wu Heng reached into her lower back, held her breasts and squeezed them.

Xi Lagui rolled her eyes at him and said, "Open up your senses a little, be careful someone is coming."

After saying that, he put his hands on the other's shoulders again and kissed him again.

Squeak~!

The door suddenly opened, and Xilagui's body trembled.

When he looked back, he found that it was Shi Yali who came back from outside. She hit Wu Heng with some resentment.

Shi Yali glanced at the two people who were stuck together and said, "Don't forget that we will have a team meeting later."

He reminded her as he moved closer.

Sit on Wu Heng's other thigh and give him a sweet kiss.

……

The two sisters went to a meeting.

Wu Heng used teleportation to return to the island owner's mansion.

Minnie helped him take off his coat and hung it on a hanger nearby. "Is it compensation from the Vatican?"

Robbe and Viola beside them also turned to look over.

"Yes!" Wu Heng took out the space sachet, "Here are 50 gold coins, I'll send them to the vault later."

The three of them opened their eyes.

Robbe exclaimed, "50! They've all been sent over! This damn church is so rich!"

Wu Heng looked at her and said, "Why are you still swearing?"

"Oh! I was wrong." Robbe apologized, but there was no regret on his face.

The witch Viola in the back was also surprised, because of the number of 50.

Now when she heard that it was compensation from the Vatican, Viola's eyes widened.

Didn't they say that they killed him because of the hero of the Holy See? Why are they still paying compensation? What is going on?

It’s different from what the outside world has rumored.

Minnie held the space sachet and said, "Master, let's put the money in the vault first."

"Well, go ahead." Wu Heng nodded.

The maids went to the vault together. Viola glanced at Wu Heng and followed Minnie to the vault.

Wu Heng poured himself a glass of water and sat down on the sofa, then picked up his phone and called Lilith.

After the phone rang a few times, it was connected.

Lilith's lazy but textured voice came from the other side, "What's wrong?"

"I haven't contacted you for a long time. I wanted to ask you how things are going over there." Wu Heng said with a smile, then turned on the video call on his phone. Lilith's cold face appeared on the screen.

"Everything is fine." Lilith glanced at the phone with her beautiful eyes.

"The compensation from the Holy See has arrived." Wu Heng also went straight to the point, "Chief Hadarai wants to order more radios from me."

Lilith pursed her red lips and said, "Given the size of the association, we do need more radio stations. You already have mobile phones, so you can consider providing the remaining radio stations to the association."

The radio, in the eyes of the association and other races, is a very useful communication tool.

After all, in the current situation, letters are the normal way to deliver messages. Once radio stations can be fully deployed, efficiency will be greatly improved.

Wu Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll take a look at it then. If it's convenient, I can provide the association with a few more sets."

"Okay!" Lilith nodded.

These matters were not her responsibility, and the most she could do was say a few more words for the association.

Wu Heng leaned back in his chair and asked, "The report on pardoning wanted criminals should have been sent to the headquarters. Do you have any specific information?"

Lilith replied, "Maybe it has been delivered. This kind of thing will have a very complicated process. Just wait a while."

Wu Heng narrowed his eyes, thought quickly, and said, "How about this! I agree to provide the radio station to our headquarters. Please tell Chief Hadarai to speed up the progress of this matter."

"So urgent?" Lilith looked puzzled.

"She has a wanted warrant on her, which is troublesome after all. I still have some tasks I want to assign to her." Wu Heng explained.

Lilith nodded, "How many radio stations can you provide?"

"Four sets!" Wu Heng said.

It was originally intended to be provided to the association, and it just happened to solve Viola's problem at the same time.

The wanted warrant was not a big deal in the eyes of the leader.

"Okay." Lilith was a little unhappy that he was negotiating with her, but she still agreed. "I'll promise you directly that the wanted order will be revoked today."

Wu Heng added, "There is one more thing. I want you to help me find the whereabouts of the Sky Fox Tribe, the tribe that moved out of Erleha Town in the Celtic Kingdom."

Lilith didn't ask any more questions about this matter.

After all, there was a fox maid living in the island owner's mansion. She said, "Okay, I'll have someone check it out and tell you when there's news."

Before the call ended, Wu Heng lowered his voice and said, "By the way, are you not done with your work yet?"

The vampire beauty on the screen looked around, "Almost done."

"Xiao Xiao has been talking about you several times."

"I know! It's nothing, I'll just go to Treasure Island to take a look." Lilith said unhappily.

His tone was impatient, but the look in his eyes became more gentle.

Wu Heng continued to chat with her for a few more sentences and then hung up the phone.

The wanted order and the radio station have been finalized, and the only thing left is the affairs of the Queen Sky Fox Clan.

After thousands of years, it is hard to say whether the race still exists.

We also try our best to help the other party find it. If the association has no record, the possibility of it still existing is very low.

He stretched and walked upstairs.

……

The next day, City Hall.

In the conference room, sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the long table.

Wu Heng sat in the main seat, with Annette and several city hall officials beside him.

Opposite was the delegation of the Snake Emblem Foundation led by Letili, with several senior executives in elegant formal attire sitting upright.

After a brief greeting, both parties signed and stamped the purchase agreement.

When the last seal fell, an old human from the consortium spoke cautiously, "Sir Hero, the inventory of goods..."

"There must be enough goods." Wu Heng looked at them, "When do you plan to take them away?"

"It would be best if it were today." A hint of urgency flashed in the old man's eyes.

Wu Heng looked at his side, "Annette, take them to the warehouse to inspect the goods. If there are no problems, arrange for someone to load them onto the ship..."

"Yes!" Annette stood up and smiled professionally, "Everyone, please follow me."

Everyone stood up, saluted to Wu Heng, and left the room.

……

The morning light shone on the streets of Treasure Island. Several elders strolled along, looking at the surrounding shops and passers-by.

"This place is indeed well built." The elf elder said with admiration in his eyes.

"What a pity..." The dwarf elder shook his head and sighed, "If it weren't for the conflict with the Church, the business here would never be so quiet."

The human elder agreed! "Yes! I heard that the port used to be crowded with merchant ships coming to buy goods. It's not like when we came, there were only a few lonely ones."

After attending the deacon's dinner last night, they took a stroll around the island.

Just as the rumors say, Treasure Island is truly prosperous at night, with bright lights, the singing of bards echoing on every street corner, and residents gathering together to chat and laugh, which is several times more lively than during the day.

They also went to the entertainment city, where the various novel facilities made the knowledgeable elf elders' eyes widen.

I learned from some wealthy merchants that although the goods on the island are very valuable, most chambers of commerce do not dare to disobey the warning of the Holy See and trade directly with Treasure Island.

At most, you can use the excuse of traveling to buy some in the space ring and bring them back.

I would never dare to have too much contact in public.

"The Holy See is trying to drag Treasure Island to death." The dwarf elder lowered his voice.

The Elf Elder took over the conversation, "I don't think so! Treasure Island can sell its goods through other channels. The problem is that the Chambers of Commerce dare not take sides for fear of retaliation."

Just as several people were discussing in low voices, there was a sudden noise.

Following the sound, turning the corner, the port area is in front.

At this time, the port was crowded with large cargo ships, with masts like forests and decks full of sailors.

Workers lined up in a long queue, loading boxes of goods onto the ship.

The shouts of the sailors, the sound of the waves and the shaking of the sails are intertwined together, making the scene extremely lively.

"Is that... the flag of the Snake Emblem Group?" The human elder widened his eyes.

The elf elder narrowed his eyes and looked at the snake emblem flag fluttering in the distance. "It seems that we are worrying too much."

There is still power that is not afraid of the Holy See.

Apparently, the young owner of Treasure Island had found a partner who was not afraid of the Holy See.
