Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

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 shouted "Philippa". There was no answer, so the person on the other end was probably not in the room.

I planned to tell her about becoming a 'Secret Whisperer'.

I can only wait until next time.

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

He took off his coat, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down at the desk.

He took out two newly exchanged skill books.

[Mirror Imagery] [Default Armor].

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

But in its own battles, it relies more on skeletons and modern firearms.

A shot of bullets passing by is more efficient than releasing magic.

Therefore, in the selection of skills, we began to lean towards some functional and specific skills.

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

This skill book is an illusion skill.

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

The effect of the clone is closely related to the caster's intelligence and spiritual power.

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

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

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

That is, more real.

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

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

The last page was quickly turned, and the system prompt also appeared.

[Unlock skill: Mirror Shadow Technique. 】

Skills unlocked.

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

Close the book and put it on the back shelf.

Get up and walk to the middle of the study.

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

Wu Heng looked at the three figures standing motionless.

Black hair, robe, space ring.

Almost no different from myself.

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

"The effect is not bad."

When the skill is released, all illusion clones disappear.

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

This skill belongs to the school of protective magic.

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

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

The effect is somewhat like a protective pendant.

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

Also turned to the last page.

A prompt appears.

[Unlocked skills: Default armor. 】

Skill unlocking, I am quite satisfied with this result.

Dong dong dong~!

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

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

Andewell?

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

Now that he actually called me over, it seemed like something had happened.

He stood up and opened the door. Minnie was standing at the door.

"Did you tell me something?"

"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."

"it is good!"

The two of them went downstairs together.

After Minnie helped him put on the leather armor.

Go straight out and head to the Association.

……

Arrival at the association.

Wu Heng went directly to the office study.

In the room, Anderweil was sitting at the desk waiting, looking slightly anxious.

"Weier, what's wrong?" Wu Heng came in and asked directly.

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

Wu Heng frowned.

Thoughts passed quickly.

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

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 yourself.

Otherwise, catching Millicent, a woman who had just become a professional for a few days, would not be so troublesome.

"Where are the people?" Wu Heng asked.

"Captain Kavina has been taken away for questioning." Anderweil replied solemnly.

While talking, there was a knock on the door.

Kavina walked in directly.

"How's the question going?" Wu Heng asked.

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

"Tell me in detail."

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

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

Three of them were armed with swords, and two were armed with 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. Take 100 gold coins to the sea to redeem someone within three days?

It 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, he came over."

Millicent 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 pub on the first floor is closed, and the rooms upstairs are all booked and available to residents."

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

"Okay!" Anderweier went out.

Not long after, 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 said nothing and sat at the table to think.

The opponent's typical five-person team combination.

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 tavern owner who was kidnapped.

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 in if they knew it was a trap?

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

What's more, it's better to bring the news to yourself.

Even if they don't redeem the person, there is no loss to them by killing the person.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I will handle the rest of Kavina's affairs. I will inform you if there is anything else you need. Andewell, follow my clone home."

Anderweil was a little confused, "Clone?"

Wu Heng thought, and a similar figure appeared beside him.

"Phantom clone, 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 separated.

Anderweil and the clone walked out of the association together.

I called a carriage along the way, got on the carriage, and rushed towards my residence.

And after a while.

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

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

Climb the carriage and head to Beacon Street.

……

The carriage stopped in front of the Nautilus Tavern.

The front door was closed, and no bustling sounds from the past could be heard inside.

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

A beige hairband floated down from the window on the second floor of the tavern.

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

There is some impression of the headband, Millicent usually wears it.

"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 alive.

His jaw trembled slightly, and a faint blue fire lit up in his eyes.

Hold the hair tie closer to it.

The skull bit a corner and began to chew hard.

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

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."
