Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 796, The Kingdom's Qilin Plan (Today's update, I'm running out of time because of all the changes.)

The city lord, Wen Mansha, comes from a gang and is only about level 10.

It was somewhat surprising that they had arranged for an 18th-level professional to come here.

But judging from the current situation, there is really no way to solve this problem unless we arrange for level 18 professionals to come.

Now that Wen Mansha is staying indoors, she must have her own plans.

If we delay any further, the owner of Treasure Island might be called back.

If the association gets involved, it will only cause more trouble.

"When will this level 18 sir arrive?" The burly man calmed down and asked again.

"It will only take two days." said the tall and thin man.

The burly man sighed, "If it weren't for those people, it wouldn't be so troublesome."

“It’s indeed a bit troublesome.”

The burly man thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the outer city area. It will be easier to deal with any danger there. Once the outer city area is sealed, you won't be able to escape even if you want to."

The tall and thin man looked up and said softly, "Wen Mansha didn't take action because we haven't left the city yet. Once we make a move to leave, she will take action immediately. Don't provoke her yet, wait for our people to come."

The burly man nodded to show that he understood.

The two chatted in the room for a while and drank a lot of tea.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the burly man stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Just as he was about to leave after saying that, his legs remained standing in the same place.

There was a look of horror and disbelief in the sturdy man's eyes.

He suddenly raised his head and looked across, clenching his teeth and saying, "Go."

However, the tall and thin man also froze in his seat, veins bulging on his neck, and his face was flushed as if he was wrestling with something.

With all his strength, he said, “It’s not us, let’s go see Wen….”

Click~!

The tall and thin man turned his head 180 degrees and turned back.

The burly man's eyes fixed, and the next second, his neck suddenly turned backwards.

The two bodies collapsed limply.

In the room, three ghosts appeared from midair. Xiao Xiao said angrily, "Sure enough, they did it."

Glenda said, "I'll go back and inform Wu Heng. You two stay here first."

"Okay!" Benny and Xiaoxiao nodded.

Glinda turned invisible again and left through the wall.

……

City Lord's Mansion, backyard.

The bodies were placed in the open space in the middle.

Wen Mansha said: "They are all killers who were killed in the past two days. Master, please help me interrogate the corpses to see if there are any clues."

In fact, it is unlikely that these people can obtain any intelligence.

But the bodies have been preserved until now, so there is no loss in asking.

[Talking with the Dead] was released, and the first corpse sat up directly from the ground.

With empty eyes, he looked at the people here.

Wu Heng glanced at Wen Mansha, who nodded and asked, "Who ordered the assassination?"

The corpse replied, "I received a letter from Ronnie to assassinate you in the lounge of the Alliance building."

Wen Mansha frowned, "Who is Ronnie?"

"The Lord of the Azir Family, Yeko Kingdom."

A member of a family in the Yeko Kingdom.

Wen Mansha's eyes were full of doubts.

It seems that he has no impression of this name or family.

"Is Ronnie loyal to the Second Prince?"

"I don't know."

Wen Mansha continued to ask: "When did you receive the letter?"

"In the middle of this month."

As the last question, Wen Mansha continued to ask: "Do you know any other spies?"

The corpse replied, "The mail will be sent to the Dragon Wing Grocery Store in the outer city. I will go there regularly to see if there are any mail."

Five questions were over and the body fell suddenly.

Wen Mansha looked at Wu Heng and said, "Mid-month is the time when the Second Prince's messenger will arrive, so this is consistent. But it sounds like the one who gave him the order was not the Second Prince's men, but a letter sent from the Yeke Kingdom."

Slater crossed his arms and said, "Is the messenger called Ronnie?"

"That's not the name." Wen Mansha shook her head.

"It's possible that the letter was not delivered by him. It's also possible that in order to avoid being traced back to him, they deliberately created the illusion that the letter was delivered from outside." Slater analyzed.

"Yeah, that makes sense." Wu Heng nodded in agreement.

Wen Mansha continued: "Master, ask the next one!"

Wu Heng continued to release [Talk to the Dead], and the second corpse sat up from the ground.

Wen Mansha asked: "Who ordered you to assassinate me?"

The corpse replied, "Kendall!"

"When did you receive the order?"

"Mid-month."

"You are loyal to the Second Prince?"

"Yes!"

"..., are your actions related to the messenger from the city?"

"I don't know!"

"..."

……

The bodies were questioned one by one.

The three of them had a basic understanding of the whole matter.

All the killers are related to the Yeko Kingdom.

In fact, if you think about it simply, you will know that the only one who wants Wen Mansha to die now is the second prince.

The three of them returned to the living room together.

Wu Heng sat on the sofa, holding the leopard in his arms and stroking its soft fur.

Next to him was Wen Mansha, and Slater sat opposite him, his face still somewhat cold, and he glared at Wu Heng and the leopard in his arms from time to time.

Wen Mansha said: "It is related to the Kingdom of Yeko. Whether it is related to the messenger or not, there is a reason to kill him."

If you think about it carefully, you can understand why the second prince did this.

The army of the Yeko Kingdom was obviously no match for the skeleton army.

Therefore, we must take advantage of the truce to try to kill Wen Mansha and see if we can change the situation of the war.

But several assassination attempts failed, which instead made Wen Mansha alert.

Wu Heng touched the golden leopard and said, "It doesn't matter to us whether the messenger is dead or alive. What matters is whether we can find the second prince behind him through him. If we kill one messenger, we will arrange for other messengers to come over later."

Wen Mansha nodded and agreed with this statement.

Previously, there had been an assassination attempt on Wen Mansha in Rentam City, and a group of people were cleared out in the city at that time.

Butler Hartle's husband was among them and was directly cleared out.

Not long after, another group appeared in the city.

If the people behind the scenes are not dealt with, there will always be more and more messengers and spies.

Slater said, "Even if we find out where the second prince is, it will be a troublesome matter. If you kill him, any prince or princess who sits on the throne in the future will use this as an excuse to continue to attack Rentam City. The outcome is inevitable."

Wen Mansha narrowed her eyes, this thing is stuck to her.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "If we don't kill the second prince, the Yeke Kingdom will find a way to take back the land we have occupied. It has nothing to do with whether we kill him or not. It's just a matter of using a different excuse."

Slater also nodded, agreeing with this statement.

The city of Rentam occupied all the cities north of the Seted Fortress. Once the situation in the Kingdom of Yeko has eased, it will definitely find a way to try to reoccupy them.

"I feel that we can capture the second prince first, and then use him as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Yeko Kingdom if anything happens later." Slater said again.

Catch it first.

Wu Heng felt that being a second prince might not be that simple.

The most effective way is to kill quickly, otherwise you will give the opponent a chance to escape or make some dangerous counterattack.

But it was only at the discussion stage, so he followed Slater's advice and said, "That's fine."

After talking about this matter for a while, Wu Heng looked at Wen Mansha and asked, "What happened to the Seted Fortress?"

Wen Mansha said: "I heard from Hatter that the city has been repaired and the residents have gradually returned to their normal lives. There will be many spies outside the city, monitoring the fortress."

"No army is attacking?"

"There was no army, but there were some mercenary groups wandering around under the banner of clearing out the undead. They were directly wiped out by the Skeletons who left the city." Wen Mansha said with a smile.

Wu Heng continued to look at Slater opposite him and asked, "Is there any loss in Blackrock Town?"

Slater said, "There is not much loss. Those who left are mainly officials and guards in the city. The ordinary residents are relatively honest. In addition, you have some reputation in the city, so people are not so resistant to skeletons."

"What do you think about this matter?" Wu Heng asked.

"The notices posted in the city and the bards arranged by Wen Mansha have made public opinion lean towards the side of Rentam City. At least people know that it was the Yeko Kingdom that took the initiative to instigate the war. However, there are still some people who stand on the side of the Yeko Kingdom, but they won't say it out loud." Slater thought for a moment and answered.

Wu Heng had been to Blackrock Town, where necromancers were very much discouraged.

Not to mention that the city is now occupied by skeletons, and we can't expect everyone to stand on our side.

Just wait for a while and it will get better slowly.

Wu Heng wanted to say something when a ghost flew back from outside and went straight into his body.

What happened in the tavern's private room was also shared.

In other words.

The two men did not leave, but waited for the level 18 professionals arranged by the second prince to come and continue killing Wen Mansha.

This is really a gamble with your life.

"I'll go out for a while and bring the messenger back. We'll then interrogate the body." Wu Heng stood up.

"I'll arrange for someone to go over there." Wen Mansha said.

"No need, the person is already dead. It will be faster for me to go out." Wu Heng said.

Wen Mansha didn't say much, and Wu Heng took the skeleton and walked directly out of the City Lord's Mansion.

……

Wu Heng arrived at the tavern.

When I walked into the pub, I saw a lot of people gathered at the stairs on the second floor.

"Oh! What a tragic death."

"How did you kill him? You twisted his neck so many times."

"It doesn't look like a robbery. Nothing is missing from his possessions."

Everyone was talking and discussing the dead person in the private room on the second floor.

At this time, a small voice sounded in my ear, "Uncle, the bartender just bought something for them and found the body when he came back."

"It's okay!" Wu Heng said, then pushed through the crowd, took out the association's emblem and said, "Okay, everyone go away, the boss stay."

When the rest of the people heard that the association members had arrived, they dispersed while talking.

When Wu Heng walked into the private room, he saw two bodies on the ground.

"Wrap up the body."

The skeleton rolled up the two corpses with a straw mat, and Wu Heng put them into the space ring.

Behind him, a middle-aged man followed, still bowing his head respectfully, "Sir, what do you want?"

"Are you the boss?"

"It's the boss!"

Wu Heng glanced at the other person and asked, "Are they staying in this private room?"

"Yes, I have been living in this private room for several days." The boss replied.

Wu Heng continued to ask, "Has anyone come to see them recently?"

The boss recalled, "I'm not sure, it seems that there aren't any, and they rarely go out."

"Go back and think about it. If you remember anything, tell the city hall."

"Yes, sir." The boss nodded.

"Let's continue with our business. It's okay. The murderer has been caught, and we found the body based on the murderer's location." Wu Heng walked out of the private room and went downstairs.

"Thank you, sir."

After saying that, he stuffed two silver coins into Wu Heng's hand.

Wu Heng glanced at the other person and walked out of the tavern directly.

……

Return to the City Lord's Mansion.

The two bodies were stripped clean.

The items in the space ring were also placed on the table one by one.

In the tall and thin man's ring, there was a purse, a property deed, daily necessities, a scroll, notes from the Snake Emblem Consortium, notes from the Ghost Train, and a ring with an eye pattern.

In the sturdy man's space ring, there are a purse, daily necessities, spare weapons and armor, scrolls, and potions.

Looking at the various items, Wu Heng narrowed his eyes.

Focus your eyes on the ghost train ticket and the gold ring.

Ghost train.

This guy actually has a ticket for the ghost train. It seems he is well prepared.

If there is real danger in the city, you can just manage your time and tear up the ticket to leave the city.

No wonder he is so confident.

The second ring is the ring of the secret order.

Is the secret society related to the second prince?

In the initial investigation, Wu Heng suspected that the eldest prince had the support of the secret society.

Later, various intelligence reports indicated that the eldest prince had connections with the sect.

The current intelligence points the finger at the Second Prince as the culprit of the secret society.

Wu Heng pondered for a moment.

In other words, the Qilin Dao plan of the Secret Society was used on the second prince.

The Qilin Project is a plan used by the Secret Order to support its own people to sit on the throne and have the right to speak.

It turns out that they really took action against the Yeko Kingdom.

After looking at these two items, Wu Heng continued to look at the armor among the many items of the burly man. One of the sets was the protective gear of the commander of the Yeko Kingdom.

This man is the ruler of the Yeko Kingdom.

Wen Mansha said that the burly man was the messenger's attendant, but in fact he was just arranged to be by his side to protect his safety, and his status was not low.

"Someone from the Secret Order." Slater also recognized the ring at a glance.

Wu Heng nodded, "It seems that things are more complicated than we thought."

Wen Mansha picked up the ring and took a look at it, "Maybe it only means that he personally supports the Second Prince, and it has little to do with the Secret Order."

Wu Heng shook his head, "There have always been clues that the secret society is involved, and now it seems that they are supporting the Second Prince."

Wen Mansha nodded, and Slater said, "Can I report this news to the association?"

"Don't worry, let's ask the corpse first and see the situation. We can discuss it first then we can do it." Wu Heng said directly.

Slater nodded.

……

Came to the corpse.

Wu Heng released [Talk to the Dead] to the tall and thin man.

The corpse sat up and looked over here.

Wu Heng asked: "Did you assassinate Wen Mansha this time?"

The corpse was silent for a moment, then said, "No, it's the eldest prince's people."

Ok?

The three of them frowned instantly.
