Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

As far as Wu Heng is concerned, the matter of Granda's ex-husband is actually over.

The reason why he had been chasing her so hard before was because he wanted to relieve Granda of his [unfinished business].

Finding out about the Secret Society and the Cat and Mouse Society was something that was discovered during the investigation.

But I didn't expect that Xi Lagui would conduct a intensive investigation.

Xi Lagui pondered for a moment and said, "The headquarters sent us some relevant information."

Wu Heng didn't say anything and listened carefully.

Xilagui continued, "According to intelligence, the Cat and Mouse Society was established earlier than the Secret Society. It was a private force formed by gangs, caravans, and thieves organizations. Later, it was taken in by the Secret Society as an affiliated force."

"According to some archive records, many members of the Cat and Mouse Society did not know that they were working for the Secret Society. The people contacted by the Secret Society were all high-ranking officials in charge of the Cat and Mouse Society, such as 'Magnolo' who you killed."

Last time, when I was interrogating my ex-husband 'Magnolo', I could guess some things from his words.

As a member of the secret order, he is responsible for management and conveying orders.

The people in the Cat and Mouse Society below are very complicated, so it is normal that they don’t know about the Secret Society. It is enough for them to get commissions based on the tasks they complete.

"Is it a threat to us?" Wu Heng asked.

Both myself and Xilagui belong to Treasure Island.

They can't interfere with what happens in other places, as long as nothing goes wrong here.

"Treasure Island was previously the territory of pirates, so they might not be able to infiltrate here." Xilagui said, and then added, "The intelligence also vaguely mentioned another conspiracy of the Secret Society."

Wu Heng frowned. Another conspiracy?

The secret society does nothing all day long but thinks about how to plot against others.

"What do you mean?"

Xi Lagui seemed very satisfied with the other party's reaction. She smiled slightly and continued, "The Qilin Project, which can also be called the Qilin Road, is a plan to stir up a local revolution and support one of our own people to sit on the throne and have the right to speak."

"You mean the Yeke Kingdom?" Wu Heng said subconsciously.

At the same time, I immediately thought of my understanding of the Secret Order.

A group of wealthy people who are pursuing immortality, constantly want to gain greater influence through money, and to seize their own interests by instigating coups, promoting wars with neighboring countries, and so on.

It now appears that these were not random guesses, but rather clear plans.

What happened recently was the Kingdom of Yeko.

"That's what I suspected as well. The last time you met the fifth princess, she also mentioned the issue of outsiders interfering with the throne." Xilagui said directly.

At that time, the fifth princess mentioned a cult, and used this as a reason to want the association to intervene.

But it cannot be ruled out that it was done by the secret society.

"It is indeed possible." Wu Heng said.

"Not only that, the powerful are even more afraid of death. It's hard to say that there is no leader of any country who would secretly cooperate with the secret society to keep himself alive." Xi Lagui looked as if she could see through people's hearts.

Wu Heng nodded in agreement, then looked directly at the other party, "Are there any moves from the headquarters?"

Xi Lagui replied, "They should ask the local association to investigate, and we'll wait for the news then!"

"Let the association handle the matters over there, and we just need to look after Treasure Island." Wu Heng leaned back on the sofa and smiled.

Xi Lagui lost her seriousness when she spoke, "You are the island owner, don't wait until you are old and get bribed by them."

Wu Heng said angrily, "Who are you looking down on? I'm a necromancer. I use them to extend my life. I can do it myself."

Xi Lagui's tone choked, "You are so cruel."

Seeing that Xilagui had nothing else to do, Wu Heng continued, "A bard has invited me to watch a stage play tomorrow. If you have nothing else to do, why don't you go and join in the fun."

"The one about the fifth princess?"

"No, it's the first story of the Great Detective adapted by a bard named Saban," Wu Heng explained.

"Are there many people?"

"No one else. I plan to take Minnie and the others to see it."

Xilagui thought about it and became quite interested.

He asked, "Okay, then I'll make arrangements tomorrow and let the teams on their rest days go and have a look."

Wu Heng nodded, "Okay."

"Come to think of it, you do have a talent for mechanics..."

After talking about the matter, Xilagui brought up the matter of pens and watches again, and the two chatted casually.

Wait until it gets dark.

Xilagui put on her sword again and said, "I'm going back. I'll bring people there tomorrow morning."

Wu Heng also stood up and said, "You two sisters still owe me one from the last bet."

Xilagui paused, staring with wide eyes, a little surprised, "You didn't say anything, but you keep bringing it up."

"Wait until there's an opportunity." Wu Heng said.

"Think about it first. Shi Yali said she would treat you to a meal in two days. Just tell us then, so that it doesn't seem like we are cheating." As Xi Lagui said this, her face turned visibly red.

"Then I'll think about it carefully." Wu Heng nodded and walked her out.

As Xilagui walked, she said, "Don't go too far..., don't do anything bad, and don't..."

"If you regret it, just tell me. You are a deacon and I can't do anything to you."

Xi Lagui paused and said, "Okay, think about it."

Walk her out the door and wave goodbye.

Xilagui walked out of the alley, hailed a carriage, and slowly disappeared from sight.

Wu Heng also returned to the house and walked upstairs.

……

When we arrived at the study, the three ghosts were busy with their own things.

Wu Heng sat down and said, "Xi Lagui just came and brought some news about 'Magnolo'."

Glenda, who was revising the manuscript, looked up and asked, "What's the news?"

"About the Cat and Mouse Club behind him." Wu Heng repeated to her what Xi Lagui had just said to him.

The news contained more information about the forces behind the scenes and did not involve Granda.

And Grenda, after a brief contemplation, said: "From what I know about him, the Cat and Mouse Society should have been arranged by the Secret Society, and he helped to pass on some orders. As for the Qilin Dao, this is the first time I have heard of it. Just like Xilagui said, it is very likely that they are involved in the battle for the throne of the Yeke Kingdom."

"We all think similarly." Wu Heng nodded.

Glenda said, "You and Sheila have different perspectives. The elves' lifespan makes it difficult for them to stand in the human perspective and experience the fear of life gradually coming to an end. The Secret Society can come up with a method to prolong life, which is very attractive to the human royal family."

That's right.

But anyone who has power wants to enjoy the privileges forever and live forever.

But it's not just humans. Leaders of other races may not be that great either.

It's just a matter of dying sooner or later.

"This is how it is. In fact, the Cat and Mouse Society and Qilin Dao have little to do with us. We just need to guard the Treasure Island." Wu Heng stood up and stretched.

"That's right," Glynda agreed.

"I'm going to rest, you guys go play."

Wu Heng said this, walked out of the study, and returned to the bedroom to rest.

……

Jewel Flower Opera House.

A huge new building on Treasure Island, with white stone pillars and an exaggerated semicircular dome.

The opera house has become a landmark building in this area.

In the elves' translation of the name, Shannara represents jewel flower.

The real owner of this opera house is also Shannara.

The interior of the building is equally magnificent, with a strong wood elf decoration style.

Wu Heng led the maids into the hall and sat down in a seat in the middle.

Minnie and a few others were chattering away, looking forward to the performance that was to come.

After sitting in my seat and waiting for a while, I heard footsteps at the entrance and Andvielle walked in with several staff members from the city hall.

"Master Island Master." Andvier took the lead in saluting.

The city hall staff behind them also saluted, "Master Island Master."

"Let's find a place to sit!" Wu Heng said.

Andvier led everyone to the side and sat on one side.

Robbe said softly: "Sister Wei'er is so imposing."

Minnie also lowered her voice, "He was originally the young patriarch, and managing such a small number of people is nothing."
