Living room on the first floor.

Shannara, the fifth princess, the housekeeper and the maid all gathered in the living room.

Seeing Wu Heng coming down, they all cast curious eyes.

Shannara asked directly: "Is there any news from the association?"

"Yes!" Wu Heng walked down and sat down opposite a few people, and then said: "The headquarters has arranged a new investigation team to go to the capital of the Kingdom of Yeko to continue investigating the royal family's collusion with the cult. Elder Tapani and I, as well as the members of the original first investigation team, have been assigned to logistics work."

There is nothing to hide about this matter.

The investigation team will set off tomorrow, and the rest of the people will all stay. It can be seen at a glance.

Moreover, there are no outsiders in the room, even the fifth princess, who is now tied to herself.

The fifth princess 'Brittany' hesitated and said: "Then..., what are your plans next? Will the troops stay in the city?"

Shannara also cast an inquiring look.

Wu Heng said directly: "The cooperation between Netale City and Treasure Island is still valid, and the skeleton soldiers will be arranged in the city. Later, I will arrange for technicians from Treasure Island to come and help Netale City build street lights and do some repair work."

These were all discussed before.

Netale City and Treasure Island are tightly tied together.

After hearing Wu Heng's words, Brittany was slightly relieved.

It proves that the other party has not abandoned her, and the promises made before will continue.

"What are you mainly responsible for?" Brittany asked carefully.

"I am responsible for route safety and the transportation of materials. When the investigation team needs any logistical supplies, they will be sent from Treasure Island."

Brittany then asked, "Will you stay in Netale City later?"

Wu Heng glanced at the other party and said, "I will return to Treasure Island and contact you from there if there is anything."

"Oh!" Brittany suddenly lowered her head a little lonely.

Wu Heng then looked at Shannella, "Shannella, are you going back with me?"

"When do you plan to go back?" Shannella asked.

"The people from the investigation team will leave tomorrow, and they will go back in the afternoon."

Shannella pondered for a moment, looked at the fifth princess beside her, and said, "I will stay and accompany Brittany for a while. The merchants who come to the city are more shrewd. If you encounter any problems, we can discuss it."

"That's fine, but you have to be careful. If there is any danger, go directly to the association. Tapani and the others will protect you." Wu Heng said.

"Got it." Shannella said with a smile.

Philippa put the parrot aside and said, "What about me?"

"You are responsible for the safety of the route. When you are free, you can take a walk along the route, mainly escorting some supplies sent from Treasure Island." Wu Heng said.

"Oh, okay." Philippa nodded.

These are her old business, and there is nothing special about it.

The matter is over.

Brittany and Shannella left the City Lord's Mansion again to deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.

Wu Heng also returned to the study.

...

At night.

There were insects chirping outside the window.

Wu Heng stretched and was about to go back to his room to rest.

Dong Dong Dong~!

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Master Island Master, it's me, 'Brittany.'" A small voice came from outside the door.

Is the fifth princess coming?

Wu Heng opened the door and walked out, and saw 'Brittany', who was wearing the same clothes as during the day, standing at the door with her head down.

"What's wrong, are you being bullied?" Wu Heng looked at her.

Brittany said softly: "Master Island Master, I want to talk to you about something. Is it convenient to go to the study?"

Wu Heng did not make way and said: "Let's go next door. The study is a bit messy."

In the study, the three ghosts were busy with their own things, and there was a radio on the table.

It's better not to let 'Brittany' see.

"Oh, OK!" Brittany nodded immediately.

The two walked into the next room together.

Wu Heng looked at the shy Fifth Princess and asked, "What's wrong? We are all so familiar with each other, just say it directly if you have anything to say."

Brittany raised her head suddenly, "Island Master Wu Heng, will the new investigation team go to Chelu? Will it have any impact on the kingdom? If the investigation really finds that it is related to the cult, will the Kingdom of Yeko have no chance?"

Chelu is the name of the capital of the royal city.

The association arranged another investigation team, and Brittany began to worry about whether there would be other changes.

Hearing the other party ask this, another guess came to mind.

Did the report mention the Fifth Princess and some current situations of the Kingdom of Yeko change the leader's arrangement for the investigation team?

The original personnel were all arranged in logistics.

A new investigation team, personnel who have little to do with the Kingdom of Yeko, continued to investigate.

This is also a certain possibility.

Wu Heng sat down on the side and motioned the other party to sit down, then said: "Don't think the worst. When the investigation team goes there, the local areas will not dare to mess around anymore. Maybe it will change the current situation of the entire kingdom."

"But, I'm afraid there is really a problem." Brittany muttered in a low voice.

From all the evidence, the eldest prince definitely has the support of the sect.

The Saint Respect killed the local deacon and attempted to kill all the investigation team. The association will never let them go.

Even if it is disbanded now, all the original people must be found out and killed to prevent similar things from happening again.

Similarly, if the royal family is involved, they will definitely be implicated.

It depends on how to deal with it.

"Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. Since someone wants to gain benefits through the cult, they must bear the corresponding consequences." Wu Heng glanced at the other party, "You want to take back the kingdom, why are you still worried about these things?"

Brittany continued: "If it really involves members of the royal family, can you give them a chance?"

"I don't have the final say. If they don't do stupid things, the investigation team will follow the association's procedures and they may not be killed." Wu Heng said.

When he was in Treasure Island, he also lobbied to restore the country and take back the kingdom.

With this look, he doesn't look like he can restore the country at all.

"I just don't want them to die."

"Brittany!" Wu Heng said in a deep voice.

Brittany looked up.

Wu Heng said seriously: "You are the fifth princess now, guarding a city. You may have to fight for the throne if you have the chance in the future. Being so indecisive will only hurt those who support you."

Brittany's expression froze, and then she nodded, "I, I know."

"You have to be mentally prepared to turn the Kingdom of Yeko back to its original appearance, the appearance when your father was still alive."

Brittany's eyes widened, and she became serious from confusion, "I will always remind myself."

"That's good. If there is anything, tell Shannara. She has a communication prop to contact me."

"Thank you, sir." Brittany saluted again.

Wu Heng nodded.

Brittany said again: "Then I will go back first. When you leave, I will see you off."

"Okay."

Brittany left, and Glenda slowly appeared on the side.

"This little princess is somewhat dependent on you."

Wu Heng looked at her, "You are eavesdropping again."

Glenda ignored what he said and said to herself: "It's good to be more dependent on you. If there are any things in the future, I can control them better."

"You say it as if I am taking advantage of the little girl."

Glenda went around his left shoulder, "If you don't care about her, she will only die more miserably and be taken advantage of more."

"Maybe, I have already agreed with the other party that the city of Netale has been tied to the Treasure Island."

Glenda continued, "Other necromancers, with so many necromancers like you, would have started a war long ago. You don't care whether you cheat the little girl or not."

"I want to be a good person."

"Go and tell the people in the Vatican to see if they believe you."

Wu Heng didn't say much, returned to the study, packed up simply, and released [Teleportation] to appear in Shannara's room.

Shannara was wearing a gauze nightgown, lying on her side on the bed, looking at the book in her hand.

Wu Heng walked over and took off his clothes.

Hug the wood elf and go to bed to rest.

The next day, at the city gate.

A breeze blew by, raising a cloud of dust.

The new investigation team gathered at the city gate, with horses and carriages fully prepared.

“We are leaving, and we will pass on the news through letters along the way.” Daniel said.

Tapani nodded, “Don’t worry, we will provide support as soon as there is a problem.”

“No, if we have a problem, your most important thing is to send the news back, don’t take risks.” Daniel looked serious.

Tapani nodded, without saying much.

Daniel continued to look at Wu Heng, “When there is any intelligence, we will write back and you can help analyze it.”

“I am willing to help if I can be of use.” Wu Heng said with a smile.

“Well, it’s getting late, we are on our way.” Daniel waved his hand slightly, and the convoy moved forward.

The people behind waved.

When they gradually went away, the group walked back.

Tapani asked, "When will you return to Treasure Island?"

"In the afternoon."

"Well, don't forget to arrange the cruise mission."

"Okay."

After a brief chat, the few people separated in front of the association.

...

Treasure Island, Association.

Deacon's study.

Shi Yali supported her chin and said in a low voice, "It's so boring. Let's go to the island owner's house tonight and call Wu Heng."

Xi Lagui put down the paper and pen and frowned at her.
