Five questions finished, and the body lay back on the deck.

Wu Heng waved his hand, and the skeleton next to him rolled up the corpse and carried it away.

"Elder, have you heard of the Saintly Religion?" Wu Heng asked.

Here, several names of sects were also touched upon.

Just like the Tianming Sect we encountered last time, all level 18 professionals have formed a sect to enhance their reputation in this way.

It sounds like there are quite a few sects.

I just don’t know if the association has heard of this sect.

Tapani shook his head. “Many sects are more famous in certain places, so it is difficult for the association to reach them comprehensively.”

Gianvito said: "In other words, the mastermind behind this incident was the apologist of this sect."

"Yes." Wu Heng nodded, and went over the whole incident in his mind, and said: "The city lord Dashiel is a supporter of the Grand Prince of the Yeke Kingdom. The Grand Prince has the support of the sect, and has arranged for the protection of the sect to support the city of Netale."

"After this protector became the president, for some reason, the local deacon discovered the identity of the sect or some things. Once the news was passed back to the headquarters, it was identified as a cult and cleared out. The other party directly killed them to silence them."

"The local deacon has died. Whether Dashiel is willing or not, he has to help him cover up this matter."

"After that, we arrived and got accurate clues that the other party planned to kill again and delay time."

"That is to say, Dashiel was forced to do this. After taking the first step, he had no choice but to continue."

Wu Heng sorted out the case and recalled what Dashiel said before his death.

Looking back from his perspective, there was only one way, and he had to take it.

Several people in the association nodded in agreement. Tapani said, "Record what Wu Heng said as well."

The investigators took notes quickly.

Wrote it all down.

Tapani continued, "Let's go write the report. Wu Heng, you take the fifth princess and go directly to take over the city. The patrol association will proceed first."

"it is good!"

……

Dong dong dong~!

Wu Heng knocked on the door.

"Come in!" The voice of the fifth princess came from the room.

Wu Heng pushed the door open and walked in. Brittany and the maid were both in the cabin.

"The case has been sorted out clearly. The whole case is related to a cult."

Brittany asked, "What's going on?"

"From the information we have received so far, the eldest prince has received support from the evil cult, and the one who killed the local deacon was the president arranged by the evil cult..." Wu Heng repeated the intelligence he had collected to her.

"He really is colluding with a cult." Brittany was a little surprised, but she had expected this result.

Wu Heng said: "You said that Dashiel would not do such a stupid thing as killing the deacon. Actually, you are right, but the problem is that there are some things that he has no say in. He can only help the cult clean up its mess."

Brittany took a deep breath and sighed slightly.

The little maid also sighed.

Wu Heng continued, "I have talked to the association and asked you to manage this city. Get ready. I will send you to the City Lord's Mansion. You will then go to the City Hall to hold a meeting with the officials. Be more energetic and don't look so decadent."

Brittany looked up, a bit withdrawn in her eyes, "I'm afraid I can't do it well."

"No matter how bad the situation is, it is still better than the current situation in Netale City. Cheer up." Wu Heng said.

The maid also advised: "Princess, the owner of Wuheng Island will help you. The pirates' Treasure Island can be built so well, so can the city of Netale."

"Let's go. We'll discuss any problems later." Wu Heng continued.

Brittany nodded, "Okay."

The three of them walked out of the room together and took some skeletons to the City Lord's Mansion.

……

City Lord's Mansion.

When they arrived, the entire City Lord's Mansion was empty.

There was no servant, guard, or even family members or wives to be seen, leaving only an empty house.

Most of the valuables that were easy to take away have been taken away, and what's left are some things that are difficult to take away.

Fortunately, the chandeliers, tables, chairs, cabinets and other things are still there, so the house is still habitable.

"We're late." The little maid looked at each room and said angrily.

"It's better for these people to leave, so we don't have to chase them away and make things complicated." Brittany said.

Wu Heng said to the maid, "The Fifth Princess and I are going to the City Hall to meet with local officials. I've left some skeletons for you. Take them with you to clean up."

"Ah? I'm scared!" The little maid lowered her head.

"What are you afraid of? They are all dead."

"I'm not a necromancer." The little maid muttered.

Brittany said, "Come with me, and we'll clean up together when we come back."

"Yes, I'll listen to the princess."

Wu Heng didn't say much and arranged for the skeletons to guard here to prevent anyone from coming to move things again.

Then they went to the city hall together and asked someone to convene a meeting of local officials.

Elsewhere in the city, Philippa occupied the naval port, the city walls were taken over by the Guild, and the streets were patrolled by skeletons.

Let the whole city gradually quiet down.

……

At dusk, after dinner.

Wu Heng sat in a study in the City Lord's Mansion and put the written letter into an envelope.

He opened the door and called out, "Philippa!"

Ta Ta Ta Ta~!

Philippa trotted over. "What's wrong?"

"Send the letters here to the association, and send them to our headquarters together with the reports from Elder Tapani and others." Wu Heng ordered.

"Oh, good!" Philippa took the letter and then asked, "Are we staying at the city lord's mansion tonight?"

"Let's live here to avoid any danger." Wu Heng said.

It’s not about my own danger, but the fifth princess Brittany.

He showed up in the city today, intending to officially take over the city.

But he was also afraid that there might still be supporters of the former city lord or members of a cult in the city.

If we kill her at night, it will be the end of us.

Therefore, Tapani and others lived in the association, level 15 professionals, and each team took turns guarding the city and patrolling.

Wu Heng lived in the City Lord's Mansion and searched the former City Lord's residence to see if there was any other evidence, while also protecting the safety of the Fifth Princess.

"Okay, I'll be back soon." Philippa ran downstairs.

After going out, he took out his bicycle and rode it to the association, followed by his skeleton servant jogging behind him.

……

Wu Heng returned to the room.

He took out the radio, assembled it briefly, and picked up the receiver. "Minnie, can you hear me?"

After waiting for a while, Minnie's voice came from the radio, "Master, where are you?"

According to the plan, we will return today.

"Something unexpected happened. We found new clues this morning. It involved the city lord and the evil cult, and a battle took place with the local army."

Ah ~!

Upon hearing the news, there was a commotion from the other side.

Not only Minnie could be heard screaming, but also Robey, Annette, and even Shannella could be heard screaming.

Then, Shannara's voice came over, "Is it safe now?"

"It's safe now. The city is now taken over by the fifth princess of the Yeke Kingdom, but it's actually also under the control of the association." Wu Heng explained.

Shannella continued, "Tell us in detail."

"Okay!" Wu Heng told the other party in detail what had happened along the way.

After a while.

Shannella then spoke up and said, "That means that the population of Netale City has been reduced to a handful as some have died or fled?"

"Yes, it will probably take a few years to recover." Wu Heng said.

Unlike Treasure Island.

The people who died on Treasure Island were pirates, but the population on the island itself did not suffer as much.

But the city of Netale is different. Previously, it had conscripted soldiers to fight against other armies of its own country, and this time it is fighting against the association.

A lot of people died.

"Most of the valuables in the City Lord's Mansion have been moved away. Only a city is left in the entire city. There is no money and no people." Shannara confirmed again.

"I feel like what you said is a bit serious, but it seems to be the case." Wu Heng said.

Shannella said again, "I'll go there tomorrow."

"Ah? Why are you here? It's quite dangerous."

"I'll go there with the money and acquire local assets. If you don't understand, just wait for me to get there."
