Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

The next day, early in the morning.

Iron Rock Village.

The team of professionals who stayed overnight did not sleep well the whole night.

Things related to cults are like a huge rock hanging over one's heart, making one feel depressed and heavy.

If we don't investigate further, the cult will continue to cause trouble, and more people will die.

If we continue investigating, we may run into danger. Besides, given the current situation of the Yeke Kingdom, it may be difficult to mobilize troops for ourselves.

The preparation is almost the same.

Yuri, with dark circles under her eyes, knocked lightly on the door of a house.

"Aunt, everything is ready, we can go."

"Let the tamed animal out first, I'll be out soon." Slater, sitting at the table, turned his head and said.

"Okay!" Yuri turned and left.

Slater turned back and finished writing the last stroke of the letter on the desk.

I picked up the letter and took a look at it.

"I hope it doesn't come in handy."

He took a deep breath, packed the letter and put it aside.

He began to pack up the pillows and bedding beside him and put them all into the space ring.

Just when I was putting away the pillow, a blank envelope slipped aside.

Slater's eyes narrowed.

Then, surprise, doubt and joy flashed in his eyes.

Pick up the letter and unfold it quickly.

The contents inside also appeared before my eyes.

Slater:

The cause of Benny's death has been investigated. The sect that killed her is called Tianming Sect, which was officially designated as a cult by the association two months ago.

The leader is called 'Fatih', his level is above level 18, and his occupation is currently unknown.

Judging from the current intelligence, the sect may have two level 18 professionals and multiple level 15 professionals.

I have arrived in Rentam City. After everything is arranged here, I will go to Blackrock Town.

Don't do anything rash before I get there.

Just like the Destiny Cult is actively threatening you, ensure your own safety first. "

There were not many words in the letter, and there was no other content except the Tianming Sect.

But after reading it, Slater's forehead was covered with sweat.

There is more than one level 18 professional, and multiple level 15 professionals.

Even if you just look at the text description.

It sent chills down her spine and her heart beat violently.

Why does this kind of lineup appear here?

Not to mention killing nearby villages, no one can stop them even if they sweep through several surrounding towns.

If they really had to follow all the way, they would be afraid that no one would come back.

"Aunt, are you not ready yet? Everyone is waiting at the door!" Yuri's urging voice came in again.

Slater took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

The words on the letter have disappeared, leaving only blank letter paper and envelope.

Put the letter into the space ring.

Slater opened the door and walked out with the leopard, and saw Yuri standing outside the door.

Yuri asked, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay!" Slater pinched her cheek.

"What are you doing?" Yuri muttered somewhat dissatisfiedly.

We walked together to the village gate.

Slater glanced at the prepared carriages and several teams.

He gave the order in a solemn voice, "Cancel the pursuit. We will stay in Tieyan Village. One team will send someone back to Blackrock Town. If reinforcements come, bring him here."

……

"Express, Express, Rentam Express..."

"The newspaper published by the city hall allows you to know what's going on in the world even if you sit at home. The internal turmoil in the Yeke Kingdom, the killing of villagers by a level 18 evil cult, the murderer of the Blood Python leader who was right next to you, the legendary city lord, Mr. Wu Heng's growth process from a small figure to the island owner of the association, ..., all are written in the newspaper."

The sounds of people hawking newspapers could be heard on major thoroughfares throughout the city.

The newspaper seller held up the newspaper and shouted loudly, attracting the attention of passers-by.

No one knows what a newspaper is.

But listening to these two shouts, they seem quite attractive.

"This newspaper... can you just take it?"

A tall orc, encouraged by the people around him, stepped forward and asked.

The newsman stopped shouting and looked down at him. "65 copper coins."

"If you had told me you needed money earlier, I wouldn't have squeezed over here."

"Give me one." A well-dressed businessman came over to buy.

Those who don’t want to buy will step back and watch the fun.

Those who want to buy it to see what it is, pay for the newspaper.

……

The Wind-Dropping Grass Tavern.

There were a few scattered guests sitting in about one-third of the pub.

A bard dressed in human costume whispered a few words to the boss and then walked straight to the wooden platform on the side.

After tapping the counter, he said loudly, "Everyone, this morning the City Lord's Mansion released a publication called a newspaper, 65 copper coins per copy, which records intelligence on surrounding cities, information on gangs in the city, and the story of Lord Wu Heng. I happened to have some extra money, so I bought a copy and told everyone about it."

Everyone in the audience cast their eyes over.

There are mostly orcs in the tavern, and not many of them are literate.

When they heard that it was something new and they didn't have to spend any money, they all smiled.

"Say it quickly!"

"That's good. For a fee, everyone can listen to what's written inside."

"Hurry up and tell me, I won't understand you when I'm drunk."

The bard smiled and began to speak.

"The first news is that the old king of the Yeko Kingdom has passed away, and the royal family is fighting for power... The owner of Treasure Island, Wu Heng, defeated the prince of the Celtic Kingdom, the human genius 'Luan Randolph' in a fair fight held by the association..."

……

"Treasure Island? Wu Heng? Why does it look so familiar?"

"The captain of the association, the one who defeated the Warhammer Party, the real lord of Rentam City."

"I was wondering why it looked so familiar!"

"Now he's the master of the island, and he even defeated the prince."

"No wonder they didn't want this city. They just don't like it."

The tavern became noisy because of the news.

There was a lot of noise and discussion about Wu Heng, and some were even talking about some rumors they had heard.

The bard was in no hurry to continue.

Waiting for everyone's discussion, so that some outsiders can know who Wu Heng is.

And what you have done in this city.

Unlike Treasure Island.

The bard in the tavern in Rentam City was specially arranged by the City Hall.

Each customer has a place to read newspapers for free.

This is done because Rentam City is different from Treasure Island.

There are not many high-level professionals in the city of Rentam, and even fewer people who are literate and willing to buy reading materials.

It is difficult to get them to buy newspapers or to read the Bard.

Just arrange it yourself and wait until it becomes a habit.

The tavern will invite its own bard to sit in the tavern.

……

That’s all the information in the newspaper.

The bard began to tell the following story, and all the drinkers shut up again. The whole tavern became surprisingly quiet.

Only the bard's voice echoed in the tavern.

"Wu Heng came over and took a look, then immediately said: Are you looking at the retired soldier?"

"..."

"...I was planning to expose Wu Heng's plot and make him look bad..., and by chance the messenger came out and chased after him and asked, 'What is your occupation?'"

"I was once a soldier of the kingdom."

"Wu Heng's theory has been proven once again. I was so shocked that I couldn't believe it. I couldn't help but ask you how you deduced it."

"It's very simple," Wu Heng explained with a smile. The messenger had calluses on his hands, and he stood with his head held high. Plus the marks on his hands, it can be confirmed that he was a light infantryman."

The drinkers nodded slightly, even the orcs who were unwilling to use their brains.

I also understood the basis of the analysis.

Very reasonable.

The story continued without stopping because of the drinkers' admiration.

Watson praised Wu Heng's inference and handed him the letter that had just been delivered.

Watson picked up the letter and read its contents. A homicide had occurred on Lauriston Garden Street, and Wu Heng was invited to investigate.

At this point, the story ends at the same point as the first season of Treasure Island.

While everyone was immersed in it, the bard clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the story ends. The second half of the story will be published in the next issue of the newspaper."

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

"That's it? Can this thing be stopped in the middle?"

"Oh my god, I hate it when someone stops talking halfway."

"Pah! Follow me to the City Hall!"

"Wine glass 50 copper coins."

"Grass……."
