Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

The meaning of his words was very clear, he wanted to take me as his apprentice.

Xi Lagui didn't mention this just now.

He glanced at her, also somewhat surprised.

For any professional, having a guide will make the road ahead smoother and avoid many detours.

If I were still in Blackrock Town or Rentam City, I would really wish I had such a master.

He can give himself guidance on magic and also serve as a backer.

After all, at that time, level 18 professionals were like gods.

If anyone dares to mess with me, I can solve a lot of troubles by telling others the name of my level 18 master.

But now it’s different, level 18 professionals in Treasure Island can often be seen.

My skeletons are all level 18.

Moreover, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot withstand machine gun shells.

What's more, he has now reached level 19, which is higher than the magician in front of him.

It is obviously not reasonable to become a disciple in the opposite way.

My mind raced quickly.

He said: "I didn't have much opportunity before, and now I don't have this idea anymore. Deacon Imiro and Dean Gianvito also give me some guidance."

The smile on Virgil's face froze, as if he didn't expect Wu Heng to reject him.

I also didn't expect that someone would refuse a level 18 expert to be their master.

He wanted to speak, but swallowed the words back.

He pondered for a moment, nodded, and didn't mention the matter again.

Instead, he continued, "This time I came here mainly to ask you if you are willing to join the Hongwen Society."

As expected, they mentioned Hongwen Club.

Xilagui's information is still accurate.

Wu Heng asked curiously: "After joining, do I need to do anything?"

Virgil seemed to have been prepared for this and said directly, "There is no mandatory requirement. If you are willing to go to the headquarters, you can go to the Hongwen Society's research tower to conduct research in the direction you are interested in. If you can't go, some rubbings of ancient documents, books, and texts will be sent to you, and you can cooperate in deciphering them."

"Also, we organize some activities. Hongwenhui is the initiator of many activities of the association. We maintain the academic atmosphere of the association members, such as alchemists from all over the country giving lectures and distributing professional scrolls. When it comes to your Treasure Island, we may need your cooperation."

It really sounds like a school club.

Just cooperate to complete some of the assigned tasks.

I definitely won't go to the headquarters. There are high-level people there, and it won't be as comfortable as here.

As for deciphering some documents and books, Wu Heng still had some expectations in his heart.

The system can convert text, but I don’t know if I can translate those contents that even mages and scholars cannot decipher.

As for organizing some activities, such as giving lectures, distributing scrolls and so on.

It was all arranged by the local association. Xilagui's affairs had little to do with me.

"Thank you, I'm willing to join." Wu Heng nodded.

There was nothing strange about Virgil.

He took out an association agreement and crest and pushed it over to me. "Sign your name and you will be a member of the Hongwen Association. Keep the crest, it represents your membership."

Wu Heng picked up the agreement and took a look at it. It was basically some official terms for joining the Hongwen Society.

It's not much different from the one I used when I joined the association, there's nothing special about it.

He picked up the pen and signed his name directly.

Virgil picked it up and checked it.

He smiled again, "Welcome aboard."

"Thank you."

Finished talking about the matter.

Virgil became more casual and asked, "Are those street lights props?"

The two servants at the side also looked over.

Wu Heng explained: "It can be understood as a strange machine."

"Did you invent it?"

Wu Heng shook his head. "I don't have that ability. It's the result of the joint efforts of several professions."

Virgil nodded, "Very good invention."

"Thank you. Compared with the scholars of Hongwen Society, these are nothing." Wu Heng said politely.

Virgil smiled and said, "At your age, and being a human, that's pretty good."

"Mr. Virgil, you are joking." Wu Heng said politely, and then said, "Xi Lagui, have someone go to the tavern to book a private room to welcome the gentlemen."

Xi Lagui nodded in agreement, opened the door, asked someone to call Shi Yali, and asked her to book a private room in the pub outside the association.

Virgil then asked about the idea of ​​selling the newspaper and the details of the serialized stories.

And in the latest issue, the tavern waitress Benny.

I am full of curiosity about Wu Heng and Treasure Island.

We sat in the conference room and chatted for a while.

Shi Yali came back and said the private room was ready.

Wu Hengcai stood up and said, "Mr. Virgil, let's go to the tavern and talk while we eat."

"Okay!" Virgil agreed.

Several people went out together and walked towards the pub outside the association.

……

End of dinner.

The few of them had a pretty happy chat.

He never mentioned taking in a disciple again.

Virgil and his attendants returned to the association's dormitory, and Xilagui and Shi Yali also returned to their own residences.

Wu Heng returned to the island owner's manor.

Entering the living room, Minnie walked over quickly and helped him hang his coat on the hanger.

Asked: "Master, is everything going well at the association today?"

"It's nothing. That level 18 mage isn't here to cause trouble." Wu Heng controlled the kettle to pour water and took a sip.

"I thought someone had come to the island again to cause trouble for you!" Minnie said with a smile.

Wu Heng turned around and said, "Do you remember the master and disciple who challenged me last time?"

"I remember that you beat me so badly that my robe was torn into pieces," said Minnie.

Luan left a deep impression on people.

His identity and status were there, and he was beaten badly by Wu Heng.

"Yes, after they returned to the headquarters, Deacon Imiro issued another challenge to his master, but the other party did not dare to accept it due to poor health." Wu Heng said with a smile.

Minnie was also surprised, "Really? Why didn't you answer it? It was possible not to answer it."

"According to the association's rules, it is allowed to not accept the challenge."

"That's a pity." Minnie said with some regret.

"It can also be regarded as a deterrent to them, so that they don't act arrogantly on the Treasure Island and think that no one knows." Wu Heng said.

In fact, not accepting the challenge would have a greater impact on Master Luan and his apprentice.

The newspapers had already reported their experiences at Treasure Island.

Everyone else could guess why Imiro challenged him.

In the small place of Treasure Island, he showed off his strength, but he had never won. After returning, his master still didn't dare to accept the challenge.

It's more embarrassing than losing a fight.

Of course, these things all happened at the association's headquarters and had little to do with me.

But the reason why Hongwen asked himself to join was largely related to defeating Luan.

There is also the letter sent by Moya.

We must be careful of the master and his disciple, lest they do something secretly instead of doing it openly.

Actually, it’s not a big problem.

I have reached level 19, with two level 18 ghosts and two level 18 skeletons.

The possibility of being able to threaten oneself is low.

Wu Heng glanced at Minnie and said, "Moya, the assistant to Deacon Imilo, told us to be careful in the letter, lest the master and apprentice do something secretly. You should carry the skeleton with you when you go out."

"These two guys are so bad. They are doing things secretly and they are level 18 professionals." Minnie was surprised.

"Rank does not represent character."

"That's right, pirates can reach level 18." Minnie nodded.

Wu Heng took a break and patted Minnie's hips, "I'm going upstairs, you guys should get some rest too."

"Okay, Master." Minnie called sweetly.

Then he skipped towards the training room.

From a distance, someone shouted that Luan's master had been challenged by Deacon Imiro.

……

Go upstairs and into the study.

Wu Heng released all three ghosts.

The three ghosts found that they had already returned home, so they dispersed and went about their own business.

While Glenda continued to revise the manuscript, Xiaoxiao took Benny to the side to watch cartoons.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then said to Glenda, "Do you think it would help improve the reputation of the newspaper if it published more great detective stories?"

Glenda looked up, thought for a moment, and said, "It may not have any obvious effect. People who are familiar with the newspaper now know who you are. Adding more content to the serialized stories will only make the reading experience better. It won't have much impact on your reputation."
