Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse

Chapter 432: Redeeming people within three days

 At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Heng returned to his residence.

At the radio station on the third floor, I picked up the microphone and called "Philippa". There was no response from the person on the other end, so I guess no one was in the room.

I originally planned to tell her about becoming a ‘Secret Whisperer’.

We can only wait until next time.

 walked out of the room and went upstairs to his study.

 Take off your coat, pour yourself a cup of tea, and sit down at the desk.

 Took out two newly exchanged skill books.

 【Mirror Image】【Default Armor】.

 Now that I have been exposed to spells, skills actually still have many functions.

 But in their own battles, they still rely more on skeletons and modern firearms.

  【Unlock skill: Mirror Shadow. 】

 In this regard, you can choose to create one or multiple clones according to different occasions.

 After being released, three clone phantoms can be created and made to perform some simple actions.

Wu Heng returned to the table and continued to look at the next skill book [Default Armor].

 Disable the skill and all illusion clones disappear.

 Soon I turned to the last page, and the system prompt also appeared immediately.

 Three clones will make it more likely to be discovered, but if you only create one, the possibility of being discovered will be lower.

 When the target is attacked, a honeycomb shield will be formed instantly to reduce the damage caused by the attack.

 This skill book is an illusion skill.

With a thought in his mind, three clones that were exactly like him appeared on both sides in an instant.

 A shuttle of bullets passes by, which is more efficient than releasing magic.

I opened the first book [Mirror Shadow Technique] and started reading.

　　咚咚咚~!

  【Unlock skills: Default armor. 】

  Many mass-produced magic props are mostly based on spell effects.

 Get up and walk to the middle of the study.

 That is, more real.

 As soon as the book was closed, there was a knock on the door.

 In addition, the number of clones will also affect the effect.

 “The effect is not bad.”

Now that he actually asked me to go over, it seems that something happened.

　　also turned to the last page.

 Almost no different from myself.

 Hence, when it comes to skill selection, we are beginning to favor some functional and special skills.

Anderweil?

 The state of concentration speeds up reading to a great extent.

 Skill unlocking, I am quite satisfied with this result.

Wu Heng looked at the three figures standing motionless.

 Usually I go home from get off work at this time.

 The effect is somewhat like a protective pendant.

 Black hair, robe, space ring.

 The effect is to cast a spell on a willing target in advance.

With a thought in his mind, the three clones began to take action and made some simple movements.

 Then, Minnie's voice came in, "Master, the staff of the association are here and asked Sister Wei'er to ask you to come over."

 The skill is unlocked.

 The better the effect of the clone created, the more insight the enemy needs to see through it.

 This skill belongs to the school of protective spells.

 The effect of the clone is closely related to the caster's intelligence and mental strength.

 The prompt appears.

 Close the book and put it on the bookshelf at the back.

 Except for his own mansion skill book that has not been unlocked, the other skill books can still be unlocked quickly.

 Getting up and opening the door, Minnie was standing at the door.

 “Did you tell me what happened?”

"No, I just asked you to come over. It sounds like there is something urgent." Minnie said.

Wu Heng nodded, "Go and take out my armor. I'll go to the association."

"good!"

 The two of them went downstairs together.

Minnie helped him put on the leather armor.

 Go directly out and go to the association.

 …

 Arrived at the association.

Wu Heng went directly to his office and study room.

 In the room, Anderweil sat at the desk and waited, looking slightly anxious.

“Weier, what’s wrong?” Wu Heng came in and asked directly.

Anderweil said directly: "The bartender from Nautilus just came to the association and said that their boss was kidnapped."

Wu Heng frowned.

 Thoughts flashed through me quickly.

First there was anger, for daring to kidnap people in a tavern in broad daylight, then there was suspicion that something had gone wrong, the number of island guards was increasing, and finally there was a sense of vigilance.

 If Millicent had not offended anyone, it was more likely that his relationship with her would be noticed by others.

 The ultimate goal is to target oneself. Otherwise, it would not be so troublesome to catch Millicent, a woman who had just become a professional for a few days.

 “Where are the people?” Wu Heng asked.

 “Captain Kavina has been taken away for questioning.” Andwyer replied solemnly.

While talking, there was a knock on the door.

 Kavina walked in directly.

 “How is the question going?” Wu Heng asked.

Kavina held the record book in her hand and said: "As dusk approached, a few people came in and took them away immediately. They were not sure of the other party's identity and purpose."

 “Tell me in detail.”

"Hmm." Kavina organized her thoughts and said, "There were five people who took away the people. Because there was a dispute in the room, they injured the guard in the tavern and took the people away.

He also said that he would go out to sea with 100 gold coins to redeem people within three days, otherwise he would kill people and sink them into the sea.

Three of them were armed with swords, and two had scimitars and crossbows. The bartender and other people in the store had no impression of these people. They probably did not live on Beacon Street. "

There was a dispute in the room. Should I take 100 gold coins out to sea within three days to redeem someone?

 Sounds like pirate behavior.

 “Why did the bartender remember that the association asked for help?”

Kavina said: "The bartender said that their boss had mentioned before that she had subsidized the association. If anything happened, the association could arrange someone to handle it. After this incident happened, he came over."

Millison is smart.

 Knowing that he was responsible for some dangerous work, he greeted the bartenders in advance.

“How is the tavern doing now?” Wu Heng continued to ask.

“The tavern on the first floor has stopped, and the rooms upstairs have been booked and are available to residents.”

Wu Heng nodded and said to Anderweier: "Weier, go tell the deacon about this and see what he says."

 “Okay!” Anderweil went out.

 After a while, he returned again, "The deacon said, let you investigate first and find out if there is anything that needs assistance, and then arrange for someone to help."

Wu Heng did not speak, and sat at the table to think.

 The opponent’s typical five-person team composition.

 This combination often appears in association teams and mercenaries.

Of course, appearing in this form is very likely to deliberately mislead subsequent investigations.

The bartender would not scrape together so much money to save a kidnapped tavern owner.

 I am even more convinced that the real target of this kidnapping is actually myself.

But aren’t they worried that they won’t save people?

　Who would jump into it if they knew it was a trap?

Perhaps, the other party doesn’t care whether he redeems the person or not. Maybe

 More importantly, it is better to bring the news to yourself.

Even if they do not redeem the person, they will not lose anything by killing the person.

He thought quickly and said, "I'll handle the rest of Kavina's affairs. I'll let you know if there's anything else you need. Andewell, follow my clone home."

Anderweil was a little confused, "Clone?"

Wu Heng thought, and a group of identical figures appeared aside.

“Phantom clones, please go back so that no one is watching the association.”

"clear."

Kavina frowned and looked over, "You want to check it yourself? I'll lead a team to help you!"

Wu Heng said: "No, I will investigate secretly first. You ask the team to gather tomorrow morning to prepare to investigate this matter."

 “Okay!” Kavina agreed.

 After the matter was explained, everyone went their separate ways.

Andwyer and her clone walked out of the association together.

Halled a carriage along the way, got on the carriage, and rushed towards the direction of the residence.

 And after a while.

Wu Heng wore a phantom veil and covered his face with a cloak.

　　With Kerimu, who had also changed his appearance, he also walked out of the association.

 Get on the carriage and head to Beacon Street.

 …

 The carriage stopped in front of the Nautilus Tavern.

The main door is closed, and no bustling sounds from the past can be heard inside.

 Getting off the carriage, we entered a deserted alley and waited for a while.

 A beige hair tie floated down from the window on the second floor of the pub.

Glenda also showed her body, "Is this okay?"

 The hairband has some impression, Millicent has worn it on a regular basis.

 “Okay.” Wu Heng agreed.

He took out the [Tracing Pendant] from the space ring, pricked his finger with the dagger, and a drop of blood fell on the pendant.

 The cold metal skull seemed to come to life.

 The lower jaw trembled slightly, and a faint blue fire lit up in the eye sockets.

 Hold the hair tie closer to you.

 The skull bit a corner and began to chew hard.

 Then, the faint blue fire began to boil, passing through the skull, struggling in one direction.

Wu Heng felt relieved at first.

 The appearance of soul fire proved that Millicent's life was not in danger.

 Then he wrinkled slightly again.

 The direction of struggle is not the port, but the area behind Beacon Street, which is still expanding.

 “They didn’t go to sea, they were still on the island.”
