Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse

Wu Heng's eyes lit up.

Relatively speaking, this kind of thing drawn on paper is closer to a magic scroll.

However, a magic scroll is much larger than a talisman and needs to be unfolded when used.

"Is it possible?"

"These two strokes can have the effect of blocking ghosts. That's really not simple. It may be the work of a master." The middle-aged man continued, "If you want to verify the material, you need to get some of it, and it is likely to destroy this thing."

"It's okay, the effect is so small, it's broken."

The middle-aged man nodded, took out the carving knife, and gently scraped off a layer on the drawn pattern.

Then he turned around and started the experiment.

"The material does have an effect. It may be a strange thing, or it may be an experimental product of a master scholar."

The middle-aged man said without looking back.

"What does this figure say?" Wu Heng asked again.

"There is obviously a purpose for drawing this kind of pattern, otherwise it would be easier to just pile up the materials."

"That makes sense."

The middle-aged man put the thing in his hand aside and continued, "This yellow paper has a good effect, but the effect is too low. If you are willing, I can take out two silver coins to buy it as a collection."

This item is absolutely unique in the current environment.

Whether it is a strange object or a master's experiment, it is actually not important.

It is already a rare item with great research value.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "No, this is also my collection. I just came to ask."

"The price is easy to talk about. If you tell me a price in your mind that is not exaggerated, I will consider it." The other party spoke again.

"I don't have the idea of ​​selling it. I will sell it to you when I have the opportunity to get the second one."

The middle-aged man wanted to say a few more words, but he still held back.

The other party doesn't look simple, and he was introduced by the City Lord's Mansion.

If he doesn't want to sell it to me, there is nothing I can do.

"That's a pity. If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. I am willing to pay 100 silver coins for it."

As he said, he handed the talisman back, put it into the space ring, stood up and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome!"

After leaving the backyard, there were still many customers in the front hall.

The previous clerk walked over quickly and respectfully escorted him out of the store.

...

Walked out of the store.

Wu Heng did not leave immediately.

Walked along the street for a distance and walked into a tavern on the side of the road.

There were not many customers at this time. On the steps built of wooden boards, a human bard was loudly telling the great detective story in the newspaper.

The city of Rentam was also selling newspapers and publishing great detective stories.

But the progress of the story was one version slower than that of Treasure Island, and it was still at the stage of the second case.

"Lord Wu Heng is so smart. I feel like I'm falling in love with him."

"Stop it. We orcs and humans can't get along."

"I don't care about that. I can accept him being a little ugly."

Wu Heng looked up at the female orc who was talking. She was nearly three meters tall, with green skin and huge fangs.

He poured wine from a bowl-sized wine glass.

The muscles on his arms were almost as thick as his maid's waist. He was as strong as a bodybuilding coach handing out flyers.

My goodness, the aesthetics of orcs and humans are really different.

He retracted his gaze and didn't pay attention to the orcs chatting on the other side.

He opened the panel and took a look.

[Level: Level 19 (598537/355000)]

[Reputation: Level 19 (13837/66000)]

His experience points were almost doubled, and his reputation had just reached 13,000.

The reputation that was added later should have been contributed a lot by Rentam City.

But there is still a long way to go before upgrading, so we need to continue to find ways to improve.

He drank the wine in the cup, left the tavern directly, and called a carriage to return to the city lord's mansion.

...

Back to the city lord's mansion.

Wen Mansha was still in the hall, giving tasks to the commanders in the city.

Wu Heng did not disturb her.

He greeted the housekeeper and went upstairs directly.

He coaxed the child in the baby's room for a while, then returned to the study and took out the talisman.

Today, I went to the prop store to ask about the talisman. Although I didn't figure out the matter, I still gained something.

It confirmed that the materials used have certain effects.

The pattern on the talisman is very likely to be matched.

At that time, I will ask someone to contact the main desk to ask what materials are used to draw the talisman, and then study it.

The second point is the inspiration of the magic scroll.

Compared with the rune array pattern, the magic scroll mentioned by the middle-aged man is closer to the talisman, both of which are recorded on scrolls or paper in the form of drawing.

"We should ask a scholar who specializes in magic scrolls for advice."

"No, I'm a member of the Hongwen Society. What's the point of asking outside?"

After thinking for a while, he opened the door and walked downstairs.

In the side hall.

The housekeeper Hartel was directing the skeletons to move some furniture outside.

Last time I came here, there were still a few maids in the City Lord's Mansion, but this time, the City Lord's Mansion has been replaced by skeletons.

"Master!" Hartel saluted.

Wu Heng said: "Hartel, go get a piece of letter paper and envelope and send it to the study."

"Okay, Master."

Wu Heng returned to the study, sat at the desk and waited for a while. Harter knocked on the door and came in, "Sir, the envelope and letter paper are ready."

"Wait for me for a moment. It will be sent to the association later." "Yes, sir." Harter stood straight to the side and looked here.

Wu Heng frowned and thought for a moment before starting to write a letter.

The letter was written to ‘Claudio’, the leader of the Hongwen Society. He first reported on the recent development of Treasure Island and thanked the Hongwen Society for providing public lectures on the island and helping the islanders’ career advancement.

Then he mentioned magic scrolls and professional scrolls.

I am more interested in this aspect and would like to borrow some books to increase my knowledge.

At the end, he wrote that he would return to Treasure Island, and any letters could be mailed directly to Treasure Island.

To avoid leaving Luntam City later, mail it directly here.

After finishing writing, Wu Heng re-checked the above content.

Confirm it is correct and seal with hot wax.

"Harter!" Wu Heng looked up and saw the housekeeper looking at him.

The two looked at each other, and Harter immediately responded, "Master."

"Send it to the association and have them mail it directly."

"Yes, sir." Hartle picked up the letter and left quickly.

…

afternoon.

Glenda came back and said, "Benny is still watching over there, but so far, no one has contacted them, and no one has sent any information."

It's been a day, and these people still have no information.

"Did you find anything else?" Wu Heng then asked.

Granda thought for a moment and answered, "There are only two possibilities. One is that there is no mission assigned to them, and the second is that the killing of those five people has been exposed, and the mission will not be assigned."

Basically the same as what Wu Heng thought.

These people must be people arranged by the Kingdom of Yeke, there is no doubt about this.

The rest is why there is no connection behind the scenes.

Wu Heng continued, "The second possibility is more likely."

"Why?" Glenda asked.

"You searched such a large area in the city and found this small team. The number is too small. They should know that we are investigating this matter again and the original characteristics have changed." Wu Heng said.

"What about these ones we're staring at?"

"Maybe they didn't have time to notify them, or maybe they were released for us to catch and kill." Wu Heng said directly.

"It's possible!" Glenda nodded, "Are these people still watching?"

"Keep an eye on it first. If there are no clues tomorrow, we will find a way to lure them out."

"Okay, I'll go keep an eye on Beni and let you know if there's any news."

"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Heng said with a smile.

Glenda smiled at him, "We don't feel the hardship."

After saying that, he turned around and left in the distance.

Continue to sit in the study, thinking about how to find these people.

From the door came Hart's voice calling him to eat.

He got up and left the study, and walked out directly.

During dinner, Wu Heng and Wen Mansha talked about this matter again.

Patrols began to gradually increase in the city.

Wu Heng is also trying to find a way to find the other party.

…

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

During the past two days, the ghosts stared at the few people they had discovered before, while also searching for other suspicious targets in the city.

But the other party seemed to not exist at all, and no useful clues were found.

Moreover, in order to give the impression that they were unaware of the existence of these people, they did not dare to let the guards conduct a large-scale search.

So as not to alert the enemy.

Two days passed like this.

Late at night today, when there were no more pedestrians on the road, a convoy escorted by more than a dozen skeletons slowly left the city from the east gate.

After passing through the outer area of ​​the city, they took a roundabout way and started heading towards the Kingdom of Yeko.

And just after this convoy left the outer area of ​​the city.

Figures one after another also walked out of the surrounding buildings.

After identifying the direction, teams of five people left the city one after another and followed the direction of the convoy.

"Go this way, those skeletons have taken a detour, we can stop them by rushing over."

Wow~!

Everyone ran directly through the woods to catch up with the carriage.

Soon, I saw a convoy that was not very fast.

"Kill~!" A roar was issued.

Everyone rushed out of the dense forest and rushed towards the skeleton escorting the goods.

After some killing.

The skeletons all fell to the ground, and one of them lifted up the oilcloth on the carriage, revealing arrows and some leather fodder underneath.

"What do they do with these?"

"Whatever! Burn it, and then we go back."

Soon, the fire broke out and there was a crackling sound all around.

"Come on, let's go back."

Afraid that the fire would attract the guards, everyone left quickly.

…

City Lord's Mansion.

Wu Heng was sitting in the study, and Penny flew back from outside.

He said directly: "Those people followed him out of the city as expected. Mrs. Glenda secretly killed one of them, took over his body and followed him away."

"good."
