The matter of Glenda's ex-husband is actually over as far as Wu Heng is concerned.

The reason why I had been chasing after Glenda so far was because I wanted to undo Glenda’s [unfinished business].

Finding out about the Secret Order and the Cat and Mouse Society was a matter of incidental investigation.

I just didn’t expect that Sheela Gui would focus on the investigation.

Xila Gui pondered for a moment and said: "The headquarters sent us some corresponding information."

Wu Heng said nothing and listened carefully.

Sheila Gui continued, "According to the intelligence, the Cat and Mouse Society was established earlier than the Secret Order. It was a private force formed by gangs, caravans, and thieves. It was later absorbed by the Secret Order as an affiliated force. ”

"Through some file records, many members of the Cat and Mouse Society did not know that they were working for the Secret Order, and the people contacted by the Secret Order were also high-level people in charge of the Cat and Mouse Society, such as the one you killed." Magnoro'.

Last time, when the ex-husband ‘Magnoro’ was interrogated, he could make some guesses in his words.

As a member of the Secret Order, he is responsible for managing and conveying orders.

The people in the Cat and Mouse Society below are very complicated. It is normal not to know the Secret Order. It is enough to get commissions according to the tasks.

"Is there a threat to us?" Wu Heng asked.

He and Sheila Gui both belong to Treasure Island.

They can't control things in other places, as long as nothing happens here.

"Treasure Island used to be the territory of pirates, and it may not be possible to penetrate here." Sheila Gui said, and then added, "In the intelligence, there was also a vague mention of another conspiracy of the Secret Order."

Wu Heng frowned, another conspiracy?

The Secret Order does nothing all day long, instead thinking about plotting against others.

"What's the meaning?"

Xila Gui seemed to be very satisfied with the other party's reaction, smiled slightly, and continued: "The Qilin Plan can also be called the Qilin Dao. It is a plan used to start a local revolution and support one's own people to sit on the throne and have the right to speak."

"You think it's also a kingdom?" Wu Heng subconsciously said it.

At the same time, I immediately thought of my own understanding of the Esoteric Order.

A group of wealthy people who pursue immortality constantly want to gain greater influence through money, and occupy their own interests by instigating coups and promoting war between neighboring countries.

Now it seems that these are not random guesses, but clear plans.

What happened recently is the Kingdom of Yeke.

"This is also what I suspect. The fifth princess you met last time also mentioned the interference of outsiders in the throne." Sheila Gui said directly.

At that time, the fifth princess mentioned a cult, and for this reason, she wanted the association to get involved.

But it doesn’t rule out that it was done by the secret cult.

"It is indeed possible." Wu Heng said.

"Not only that, the powerful are even more afraid of death. It's hard to say that no leader of any country would secretly cooperate with the Secret Order to keep themselves alive." Sheila Gui looked like she could see through people's hearts.

Wu Heng nodded in agreement, then looked directly at the other party, "Is there any action from the headquarters?"

Sheila Gui replied, "We should let the local association investigate and wait for news then!"

"Let the association handle the matters over there. We just need to keep an eye on Treasure Island." Wu Heng leaned back on the sofa and smiled.

Xilagui lost her seriousness when she spoke, "You are the owner of the island, don't wait until you get old and be bribed by them."

Wu Heng said angrily, "Who are you looking down on? I am a necromancer. I can use them to renew my life. I can do it myself."

Sila Gui's tone was choked, "You're so cruel."

Seeing that Xila Gei had nothing else to do, Wu Heng continued, "A bard will invite me to watch a stage play tomorrow. If there is nothing else, you can go and join in the fun."

"The fifth princess?"

"No, it's an adaptation of the first story of the Great Detective by a bard named Saban." Wu Heng explained.

"Are there many people?"

"There is no one else. I plan to take Minnie and the others to see it."

Sheila Gui thought about it for a while, but she was also quite interested.

Asked: "Okay, then I will make arrangements tomorrow and let the rest of the team take a look."

Wu Heng nodded, "Okay."

"Speaking of which, you really have a talent as a magic weapon master..."

After talking about the matter, Sheila Gui brought up the pen and watch again, and the two chatted casually.

Wait until it gets dark.

Sheila Gui put on her sword again and said, "I'm going back. I'll take someone there tomorrow morning."

Wu Heng also stood up, "You two sisters still owe me one more time for the last bet."

Sheila Gui paused and stared with big eyes, a little surprised, "You don't even say it, but you always bring it up."

"Waiting for a chance." Wu Heng said.

"Think about it first. Shi Yali wants to treat you to dinner in two days. Then you can tell her so that it doesn't look like we are cheating on you." Xila Gui said, her face visibly turning red.

"Then I'll think about it carefully." Wu Heng nodded and sent her out.

Sheila Gui said as she walked, "You can't go too far..., you can't do anything bad, and you can't..."

"If you regret it, just tell me. You are a deacon, and I can't do anything to you."

Sheila Gui paused and said, "Okay, just think about it."

Walking her out the door, waving goodbye.

Sheela walked out of the alley, called a carriage, and slowly disappeared from sight.

Wu Heng also returned to the house and walked upstairs.

When they came to the study, the three ghosts were busy with their own things.

Wu Heng sat down and said, "Just now, Xilagui came and brought some news about 'Magnolo'."

Glenda, who was revising the manuscript, looked up and said, "What news?"

"About the Cat and Mouse Society behind him." Wu Heng repeated what Xilagui had just said to her.

The news was more about the forces behind him, and did not involve Glenda.

And Glenda, after a brief contemplation, said, "Based on my understanding of him, the Cat and Mouse Society should be arranged by the Secret Society, and he helped to pass on some orders. As for the Qilin Dao, this is the first time I have heard of it. It is really like Xilagui said, it is very likely to be involved in the battle for the throne of the Yeke Kingdom."

"We all think the same." Wu Heng nodded.

Grenada said: "You and Xilagui should have different perspectives. The lifespan of elves makes it difficult for them to stand in the human perspective and experience the fear of life gradually coming to an end. The secret society can come up with a way to prolong life, which has a strong appeal to the human royal family."

That's right.

But anyone with power will want to enjoy privileges forever and live forever.

But it's not just humans, the leaders of other races may not be so great.

It's just a matter of dying early or late.

"That's the way it is. In fact, the Cat and Mouse Society and the Qilin Dao have little to do with us. Just guard the Treasure Island." Wu Heng stood up and stretched.

"That's right." Grenada agreed.

"I'm going to rest, you guys play."

Wu Heng said, walked out of the study, and returned to the bedroom to rest.

...

Gem Flower Opera House.

A huge new building on Treasure Island, with white stone pillars and exaggerated semicircular domes.

The opera house has become a landmark building in this area.

In the translation of the elves, Shanara represents the gem flower.

Shanara is also the real owner of this opera house.

The interior of the building is also magnificent, with a strong wood elf decoration style.

Wu Heng walked into the hall with the maids and sat down in the middle.

Minnie and the others chatted and looked forward to the performance later.

After sitting in the seat for a while, footsteps were heard at the entrance, and Anderweier walked in with several staff members from the city hall.

"My Lord, the island owner." Anderweier took the lead in saluting.

The staff of the city hall behind also saluted, "My Lord, the island owner."

"Let's find a place to sit!" Wu Heng said.

Anderweier led everyone to the side and sat on the side.

Robe whispered: "Sister Weier is so imposing."

Minnie also lowered her voice, "She was originally the young patriarch, and it's nothing to manage so few people."
