Living room on the first floor.

Shannara, the fifth princess, the butler and the maid all gathered in the living room.

When they saw Wu Heng coming down, they all looked at him curiously.

Shannella asked directly, "Is there any news from the association?"

"Yes!" Wu Heng walked down and sat down opposite them, then said, "The headquarters has arranged a new investigation team to go to the capital of the Yeko Kingdom to continue investigating the royal family's collusion with the cult. Elder Tapani and I, as well as the members of the original first investigation team, have been assigned logistical work."

There is nothing to hide about this matter.

The investigation team will set off tomorrow, and the rest of the people will all stay behind. It will be clear at a glance.

Moreover, there were no outsiders in the room, even the Fifth Princess was now tied to him.

The fifth princess, 'Brittany', hesitated for a moment and said, "Well..., what are your plans next? Will the troops remain in the city?"

Shannella also cast a questioning look.

Wu Heng said directly: "The cooperation between Neitale City and Treasure Island is still valid. Skeleton soldiers will also be deployed in the city. Later, I will arrange for technicians from Treasure Island to come and help Neitale City build street lights and do some repair work."

These were all discussed before.

The city of Netalei and Treasure Island are tightly bound together.

After hearing Wu Heng's words, Brittany felt a little relieved.

Prove that the other party has not abandoned you and that the promises made before will still continue.

"So what are you mainly responsible for?" Brittany asked carefully.

"I am responsible for the safety of the route and the transportation of supplies. Whatever logistical supplies the investigation team needs will be delivered from Treasure Island."

Brittany then asked, "Will you stay in Netalei City later?"

Wu Heng glanced at the other party and said, "I will return to Treasure Island and contact you from there if there is anything."

"Oh!" Brittany suddenly lowered her head dejectedly.

Wu Heng then looked at Shannara, "Shannara, will you come back with me?"

"When are you going back?" Shannella asked.

"The investigation team will leave tomorrow and will be back in the afternoon."

Shannella hesitated for a moment, looked at the fifth princess beside her, and said, "I will stay and accompany Brittany for a while. The merchants who come to the city are quite shrewd. If we encounter any problems, we can discuss them with them."

"That's fine, but you have to be careful. If there is any danger, go directly to the association. Tapani and the others will protect you." Wu Heng said.

"Got it." Shannella said with a smile.

Philippa put the parrot aside and said, "What about me?"

"You are responsible for the safety of the route. When you are free, you can take a walk along the route, mainly to escort some supplies sent from Treasure Island." Wu Heng said.

"Oh, all right," Philippa nodded.

These are her main duties, nothing special about them.

Finished talking about the matter.

Brittany and Shannella left the City Lord's Mansion again to take care of the Chamber of Commerce's affairs.

Wu Heng also returned to the study.

……

night.

There were sounds of insects chirping outside the window.

Wu Heng stretched and was about to go back to his room to rest.

Dong dong dong~!

There was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Master Island Master, it's me, 'Brittany'." A tiny voice came from outside the door.

The fifth princess is coming?

Wu Heng opened the door and walked out, and saw Brittany, who was wearing the same clothes as during the day, standing at the door with her head lowered.

"What's wrong? Are you being bullied?" Wu Heng looked at her.

Brittany said softly, "Master Island Master, I want to talk to you about something. Is it convenient for us to go to the study?"

Wu Heng didn't give up his seat and said, "Let's go next door. The study is a bit messy."

In the study, three ghosts were busy with their own things, and there was a radio on the table.

It's best not to let Brittany see this.

"Oh, okay!" Brittany nodded immediately.

The two walked into the next room together.

Wu Heng looked at the somewhat shy Fifth Princess and asked, "What's wrong? We are all so familiar with each other, just tell me what's going on."

Brittany suddenly raised her head and said, "Master Wu Heng, will the new investigation team's visit to Chelu have any impact on the kingdom? If the investigation really finds that it is related to the cult, then the Yeko Kingdom will have no chance."

Chelu is the name of the capital of the royal city.

The association arranged another investigation team, and Brittany began to worry whether there would be other changes.

When I heard the other party ask this, another guess came to my mind.

Did the report mention the five princesses and some current situations in the Yeko Kingdom, which changed the leader's arrangements for the investigation team?

All the original personnel were assigned to logistics.

A new investigation team, personnel with little connection to the Yeko Kingdom, continued the investigation.

This is a possibility to a certain extent.

Wu Heng sat down on the side and motioned for the other party to sit down as well, then said: "Don't think the worst. When the investigation team goes there, the other places won't dare to mess around anymore. Maybe it will change the current situation of the entire kingdom."

"But I'm afraid there's something wrong." Brittany muttered softly.

From all the evidence, the eldest prince definitely has the support of the sect.

The Saintly Cult killed the local deacon and attempted to kill the entire investigation team. The association will never let them go.

Even if we disband now, all the original members must be found and killed to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

Similarly, if the royal family is involved, they will definitely be implicated.

It depends on how you deal with it.

"Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. If someone wants to gain benefits through the cult, they must bear the corresponding consequences." Wu Heng glanced at the other party and said, "You want to take back the kingdom, so why are you still worried about these things?"

Brittany went on to say: "If it really involves members of the royal family, can you give them a chance?"

"My words don't count. If they don't do anything stupid, the investigation team will follow the association's procedures and they won't necessarily be killed." Wu Heng said.

When he was on Treasure Island, he also lobbied to restore his country and take back the kingdom.

Looking at this appearance, it doesn't look like they can restore the country at all.

"I just don't want them to die."

"Brittany!" Wu Heng said in a deep voice.

Brittany looked up.

Wu Heng said seriously: "You are now the fifth princess, guarding a city, and you may have to fight for the throne if you have the chance in the future. Being so indecisive will only hurt those who support you."

Brittany's expression froze for a moment, then she nodded, "I, I know."

"You must be prepared to transform the Kingdom of Yeko back to its original state, the state it was in when your father was still alive."

Brittany's eyes widened, and she went from being confused to being serious, "I will always remind myself."

"That's good. If anything happens, tell Shannara. She has a communication tool to contact me."

"Thank you, my lord." Brittany bowed again.

Wu Heng nodded.

Brittany said again: "Then I will go back first. I will see you off when you leave."

"Ah."

Brittany left, and Glenda slowly revealed herself at the side.

"This little princess is somewhat dependent on you."

Wu Heng looked at her, "You're eavesdropping again."

Glenda ignored what he said and said to herself, "It's better to rely on you more. If anything happens in the future, I can have more control over it."

"You make it sound like I'm taking advantage of that little girl."

Glenda went around to his left shoulder and said, "If you don't care about her, she will only die a more miserable death and be exploited more."

"Maybe. We have already agreed with them. Netale City has been tied to Treasure Island."

Granda continued, "Other necromancers, with as many necromancers as you, would have started a war long ago. They wouldn't care about deceiving a little girl like you do."

“I want to be a good person.”

"Go and tell the people in the Vatican and see if they believe you."

Wu Heng didn't say much, returned to the study, tidied up simply, released the [Teleportation Spell] and appeared in Shannara's room.

Shannella was wearing a gauze nightgown, lying on her side on the bed, reading a book in her hands.

Wu Heng walked over and took off his clothes.

Hug the wood elf and go to bed to rest.

……

The next day, at the city gate.

A breeze blew by, raising a cloud of dust.

The new investigation team gathered at the city gate, with horses and carriages ready.

"We're leaving, and we'll pass on messages via letters along the way," Daniel said.

Tapani nodded, "Don't worry, we will provide support as soon as possible if there is any problem."

"No, if we have any problems, your most important thing is to send the message back and not take any risks." Daniel said seriously.

Tapani nodded without saying anything more.

Daniel continued to look at Wu Heng, "When we have any intelligence, we will write back and you can help analyze it."

"If I can be of use to you, I'm willing to help." Wu Heng said with a smile.

"Well, it's getting late, let's set off." Daniel waved his hand slightly, and the convoy moved forward.

The people behind waved.

As the light gradually faded away, the group headed back.

Tapani asked, “When will you return to Treasure Island?”

"afternoon."

"Well, don't forget to arrange the cruise mission."

"it is good."

After a brief chat, the group separated in front of the association's door.

……

Treasure Island, Assoc.

Deacon's study.

Shi Yali propped her chin up and said in a low voice, "It's so boring. Let's go to the Island Master's Mansion tonight and call Wu Heng."

Xilagui put down the paper and pen and looked at her with a frown.
