Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 735, Let Them Come Out

Wu Heng's eyes lit up.

Relatively speaking, this kind of thing drawn on paper is closer to a magic scroll.

However, the magic scroll is much larger than the talisman and needs to be unfolded when used.

"is it possible?"

"These two strokes can block ghosts. That's not simple. It might be the work of a master." The middle-aged man continued, "If you want to verify the material, you need to get some of it, which may destroy it."

"It's okay. The effect is so small that it's fine."

The middle-aged man nodded, took out a carving knife, and gently scraped off a layer of the drawn pattern.

Then he turned around and started the experiment.

"The material does have an effect. It could be a rare item, or it could be an experiment by a master scholar."

The middle-aged man said without turning his head.

"What does this graph mean?" Wu Heng asked again.

"There is obviously a purpose for drawing this kind of pattern, otherwise it would be simpler to just pile up the materials."

"Makes sense."

The middle-aged man put the thing in his hand aside and continued, "This yellow paper is quite effective, but its effect is too weak. If you are willing, I can buy it for two silver coins and keep it as a collection."

This item is absolutely unique in the current environment.

Whether it is a rare object or a master's experiment, it doesn't really matter.

It is already a rare item with great research value.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "No need, this is also my collection, I just came here to ask."

"The price is easy to talk about. Just tell me a price you have in mind and if it's not exaggerated, I will consider it." The other party spoke again.

"I have no intention of selling it. I will sell it to you when I have a chance to get the second one."

The middle-aged man wanted to say a few more words, but he held back.

The other party doesn't look simple, and was introduced by the City Lord's Mansion.

If they don’t want to sell it to me, there’s nothing you can do.

"That's a shame. If you ever change your mind, you can always come to me. I'm willing to pay you 100 silver coins for it."

As he spoke, he handed the talisman back to Wu Heng, who put it into his space ring, stood up and said, "Thank you very much."

"polite!"

Leaving the backyard, there are still quite a few guests in the front hall.

The previous clerk walked over quickly and respectfully escorted him out of the store.

……

Walk out of the shop.

Wu Heng did not leave immediately.

After walking a distance along the street, I entered a tavern on the side of the road.

There were not many guests at this time. On the wooden steps, a human bard was loudly telling a great detective story from the newspaper.

Newspapers were also being sold in the city of Wrentham, and great detective stories were being published.

But the story is progressing slower than Treasure Island and is still at the second case stage.

"Lord Wu Heng is so smart. I feel like I'm falling in love with him."

"Stop it. We orcs and humans can't get along together."

"I don't care about that. I can accept that he's a little ugly."

Wu Heng looked up at the female orc who was speaking. She was nearly three meters tall, with green skin and a huge mouth with fangs.

He took big gulps of the wine from the wine glass, which was as thick as a bowl.

The muscles on his arms are almost as thick as his maid's waist, and he is as strong as a bodybuilding coach handing out flyers.

My goodness, the aesthetic tastes of orcs and humans are really different.

He withdrew his gaze and did not pay attention to the orcs chatting opposite.

I opened the panel and took a look.

[Level: Level 19 (598537/355000)]

[Reputation: Level 19 (13837/66000)]

The experience points have almost doubled, and the reputation has just reached 13,000.

The city of Rentam should have contributed a lot to the increased reputation later.

But there is still a long way to go before upgrading, so we need to continue to find ways to improve.

He drank the wine in the glass, left the tavern directly, and called a carriage to return to the city lord's mansion.

……

Return to the city lord's mansion.

Wen Mansha was still in the hall, giving tasks to the commanders in the city.

Wu Heng didn't disturb her either.

He said hello to the housekeeper and went straight upstairs.

After coaxing the child in the baby's room for a while, he returned to the study and took out the talisman.

Today I went to the prop store to ask about talismans. Although I didn’t figure things out, I still gained something.

It is proved that the materials used have certain effects.

The patterns on the talismans are most likely matching.

When the time comes, I will ask someone to contact the front desk to inquire about the materials used to draw the talisman and then do some research.

The second point is the inspiration from the magic scroll.

Compared to rune arrays, the magic scrolls that the middle-aged man mentioned are closer to talismans, both of which are recorded in the form of drawings on scrolls or paper.

"We should ask a scholar who specializes in magic scrolls for advice."

"No, I am a member of the Hongwen Society, and I am going outside to ask for advice."

After thinking for a while, he opened the door and walked downstairs.

Located in the side hall.

The housekeeper, Hartle, was directing the skeletons to move some furniture outside.

The last time I came here, there were a few maids in the City Lord's Mansion, but this time when I came here, all the maids in the City Lord's Mansion were replaced by skeletons.

"Master!" Hartle saluted.

Wu Heng said, "Hartel, go get a piece of letter paper and an envelope and send them to the study."

"Okay, sir."

Wu Heng returned to the study and sat at the desk waiting for a while. Hartel knocked on the door and walked in. "Master, the envelope and letter paper are ready."

"Please wait for a moment, I will send it to the association later." "Yes, sir." Hartel stood upright aside, looking over here.

Wu Heng frowned and thought for a moment, then began to write the letter.

The letter was written to the leader of Hongwenhui, 'Claudio'. It first reported on the recent development of Treasure Island and thanked Hongwenhui for giving public classes on the island and helping the islanders improve their careers.

Then he mentioned the magic scrolls and profession scrolls.

I am quite interested in this area and want to borrow some books to broaden my knowledge.

At the end, he wrote that he would return to Treasure Island and that letters could be mailed directly to Treasure Island.

This is to avoid me leaving Rentam City later and mailing it here directly.

After finishing writing, Wu Heng checked the content again.

Confirm that everything is correct and seal it with hot wax.

"Hartel!" Wu Heng looked up and saw the housekeeper looking at him.

The two looked at each other, and Hartle immediately responded, "Master."

"Send it to the association and have them mail it directly."

"Yes, sir." Hartle picked up the letter and left quickly.

……

in the afternoon.

Glenda came back and said, "Benny is still watching over there, but so far, no one has contacted them, and no one has sent any information."

After a day, these people still have no information.

"Any other discoveries?" Wu Heng asked.

Glenda thought for a moment and answered, "There are only two possibilities. One is that there is no mission for them. The second is that the killing of those five people has been exposed, so no mission will be issued."

It’s basically the same as Wu Heng’s idea.

There is no doubt that these people were arranged by the Yeke Kingdom.

The rest is the reason why there is no connection behind the scenes.

Wu Heng continued, "The second possibility is more likely."

"Why?" Glenda asked.

"You searched such a large area in the city, but only found this small team. The number of people is too small. They must have known that we were investigating this matter again, so they changed their original characteristics." Wu Heng said.

"What about the ones we are eyeing?"

"Maybe we didn't have time to notify them, or maybe they were released and then we caught and killed them." Wu Heng said directly.

"It's possible!" Glenda nodded, "Do we still need to keep an eye on these people?"

"Keep an eye on them first. If there is still no clue tomorrow, we will think of a way to lure them out."

"Okay, I'll go keep an eye on it with Benny and let you know if there's any news."

"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Heng said with a smile.

Glenda smiled at him, "It's not like we feel any hardship."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Continue to sit in the study, thinking about how to find these people.

There came a voice from the door, Hartle calling him to eat.

He stood up, left the study, and walked out directly.

During dinner, Wu Heng and Wen Mansha talked about this matter again.

Patrols in the city began to be gradually increased.

Wu Heng was also trying to find the other party.

……

In a blink of an eye, another two days passed.

During these two days, the ghosts kept an eye on the few people they had discovered before, while also searching for other suspicious targets in the city.

But the other party seemed to be non-existent and no useful clues were found.

Moreover, in order to create the illusion that they were unaware of the existence of these people, they did not dare to let the guards conduct a large-scale search.

So as not to alert the enemy.

Two days passed like this.

Late this night, when there were no pedestrians on the road, a convoy escorted by more than a dozen skeletons slowly left the city from the East Gate.

After passing through the area outside the city, they made a detour and started heading towards the Yeko Kingdom.

And just after the convoy left the outskirts of the city.

One after another, figures walked out from the surrounding buildings.

After identifying the direction, small teams of five left the city one after another and followed the direction of the convoy.

"This way, those skeletons are taking a detour. We can stop them if we rush over."

Wow~!

Everyone crossed the woods and chased after the carriage.

Soon, we saw a convoy that was not moving very fast.

"Kill!" an angry roar was given.

The crowd rushed out of the dense forest and pounced on the skeletons escorting the goods.

After a series of kills.

The skeletons all fell to the ground, and one of them lifted the oilcloth on the carriage, revealing arrows and some leather and straw underneath.
