Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1034, Both Sides Are Too Calm

Even though the divination showed there was danger, Wu Heng still decided to go.

Now that I know someone is going to deal with me during the Week of Courage, it's already an open attack. If I don't go this time, I'll be attacked from the dark next time.

It will only cause more trouble.

Besides, Brittany is still in the Kingdom of Yeko.

"Could it be that the princess accidentally revealed it?" Xiaoxiao pondered.

"I don't think so. Brittany has grown a lot and she won't be so careless." Glenda expressed her thoughts.

Wu Heng also agreed with this statement and said, "If we send it to the church via letter, it will not be in time."

I have a cell phone and a radio so I can send messages quickly.

The radio on the Vatican's side is mainly used for communication between the association's headquarters and the cathedral, and is monitored by us.

It was impossible to transmit messages by radio.

Benny floated closer, "Could it be possible that the association's channels were used to deliver the letter?"

"Not very likely!" Wu Heng shook his head.

Glynda continued, "Besides the Church, do we have other enemies? I mean those who can threaten the heroes."

Xiaoxiao raised her hand, "Didn't the man who blocked the entrance to Tianhu Village last time say that their boss was a hero?"

It was about the bishop of the Twelve Heavenly Holy Religion, rumored to be a hero.

Wu Heng said: "It's unlikely. We did it more efficiently, so they probably don't know it was us who did it. Besides, they are wanted criminals by the association, so they don't dare to make it too public."

"Oh!" Xiaoxiao nodded to show that she understood, and continued to touch her chin to think.

Beni said, "The words of the Holy See can't be the god behind them!"

The room suddenly became quiet.

The empress smiled and said, "They all used an ambush in advance, how could they be gods? If they really were gods, they would not need this method, so they probably wouldn't be that powerful."

After hearing this, several people felt that it made sense.

The Empress continued to analyze, "The Church has a deep foundation. You have the means of divination, so it's not surprising that they have the means to predict your whereabouts. Just be prepared."

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense." Wu Heng agreed.

I have a rare item called a turtle shell.

It is not surprising that the Holy See has a magical object of prophecy, or deduce it in other ways.

It even feels normal.

All you have to do is be prepared to deal with it.

"Since it's the Holy See, you should be prepared to deal with four heroes." Granda said softly.

Xiao Xiao asked curiously, "If they can farm heroes, can't they have more?"

The queen said angrily, "If there were more heroes, there would be no need to ambush them. They could just come and kill them directly."

"Oh! That makes sense." Xiaoxiao continued to rub his chin.

"I'll check with Lilith to find out the whereabouts of the religious leader." Wu Heng said, took out his phone and dialed directly.

After a short waiting tone, Lilith's cold voice came from the receiver, "Well! What's wrong?"

Switching to video mode, the screen flickers, reflecting a delicate child's face.

Lilith maintained her lolita form, her skin as white as snow in a black Gothic princess dress, and her eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Are you not done with your work yet?" Wu Heng asked with a smile, his tone relaxed.

"Wait for the 'Liz' you arranged to come over." Lilith's voice was unusually calm. "After the people from the association escort her over, I will take her to Treasure Island."

Liz, the pregnant woman chosen by the Vatican, was supposed to be the 'vessel' to resurrect the previous religious leader.

If the queen had not been so heartless, she might have already become a victim of the Vatican's conspiracy.

Eventually, Wu Heng "exchanged" her through the association.

"It hasn't been delivered yet?" Wu Heng frowned slightly, "Didn't the Vatican send anyone to follow?"

"The association is responsible for the escort." Lilith snorted, "Do you think I will trust the people from the Holy See?"

Wu Heng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Has that religious leader returned to the association?"

"He hasn't come back yet." Lilith said, "There has been no news since he returned to the temple."

"No news? Are you plotting something again?" Wu Heng said jokingly.

Lilith glanced at him calmly and said, "The association is keeping a close eye on him. He dare not act rashly."

After a pause, he slowed down his voice, "You should behave yourself over there and stop provoking the Holy See. Just wait until this matter is over."

"Yes! You are right." Wu Heng replied, but he was already sure in his heart.

It is basically certain that the Vatican is up to something again.

"So, what do you want from me?" Lilith tilted her head and looked straight at him.

There is also some expectation in the indifference, which is too embarrassing to express directly.

Wu Heng glanced to the side imperceptibly.

Lilith, who was on the other side of the screen, keenly caught his gaze and instantly knew that there was someone else outside the screen.

His expression instantly returned to indifference, "I'll let you know in advance when I get back."

"Okay, that's it for now. I'll text you when I have time." Wu Heng blinked.

Lilith rolled her eyes at him and said, "Okay, we'll talk about it later."

The call ended and the screen went dark.

Glenda said on the side: "It seems that the Holy See is likely to do something."

Wu Heng put away his phone and said, "These guys are endless."

"That's right, it's so annoying." Xiaoxiao agreed.

……

Dong dong dong~!

There was a hurried knock on the door, and then Philippa's voice came in, "Wu Heng! I'm ready! When do we leave?"

Wu Heng opened the door and ran into Philippa's face full of excitement.

I really don't want to dampen her interest.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "You and Shannella can't go."

"Damn! Are you going back on your word?" Philippa's smile froze instantly, and her eyebrows raised high.

Wu Heng put his arm around her shoulders, half-pushed and half-dragged her downstairs, coaxing her, "Don't worry, listen to my explanation, I discovered a big conspiracy..."

"Don't give me that!" Philippa broke free from his hand and put her hands on her hips. "If you don't give me a reasonable reason today, I will..."

His eyes rolled, "I will hang myself..."

Xiao Xiao floated aside, holding her chin, "Sister Philippa, why are you like a child?"

"You are the child!"

"Yes what's the matter!"

Philippa's eyes widened and the words got stuck in her throat.

As we walked down the first floor, all eyes were focused on us.

Shannara had already changed into travel-friendly clothes, and the rest of the people had gathered in the hall.

Wu Heng looked around at everyone and said, "I just received news that someone is planning to attack me during the Week of Courage."

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall suddenly fell silent.

"Ambush a hero?" Viola narrowed her eyes. "Are they seeking death?"

Shannella also asked, "Who is it, do you know?"

"It is currently speculated that he is a hero of the Holy See, but the details cannot be confirmed yet." Wu Heng said, walking over and sitting down on the sofa.

It's the Vatican again!

It’s as if the Holy See has set its sights on Treasure Island, always popping up out of nowhere to cause trouble here.

Minnie brought him a cup of herbal tea.

Shannella continued, "Since you know it's a trap, cancel the trip!"

Wu Heng said: "If I don't go over this time, they will just hide their plans even deeper next time."

Shannella hesitated to speak, her eyes full of worry.

Viola said seriously: “Then my lord, I will go with you.”

Now she is a hero and has the power to fight against heroes.

"You stay and take charge of Treasure Island." Wu Heng took a deep breath. "It won't be a big problem. If it's really them, I have the confidence to reduce the number of heroes of the Holy See."

The wood elf sisters listened quietly, their eyes growing wider as the conversation progressed.

What a huge amount of information.

The Holy See ambushed heroes, and Wu Heng also planned to take advantage of the situation and reduce the number of the opponent's heroes.

Is this news I can hear?

Just listening to a few people talking, I felt terrified.

After giving a brief talk to a few people, Wu Heng continued, "Viola will be in charge of Treasure Island, Philippa will be responsible for route monitoring, and the rest of the people will also perform their duties. If the situation gets out of control, they will immediately use their tickets to leave."

After a slight pause, he looked at Shannella and Philippa again, "I won't take you with me this time. Once this matter is over, we can stay there for a few more days."

"It doesn't matter whether we go or not, just be safe." Shannara said softly.

Philippa also said, "I know, you have to come back safely too."

"Don't worry." Wu Heng said, and continued to take out some train tickets from the space ring and distribute them to the people present.

Even if the 'divination' shows that Treasure Island is not dangerous, you should still be careful.

After distributing the tickets, he took out two mobile phones and handed them to the wood elf sisters. "One for each of you. I'll let Shannara teach you how to use it later."

"Thank you, sir." The younger sister among the wood elves shouted happily and quickly took it.

He controlled it very skillfully, probably because he had seen Shannara use it before.

After talking to a few people for a while, Wu Heng looked at the time. It was almost 9 o'clock. "I'm leaving. Call me if you have anything."

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

……

In the courtyard, Wu Heng took out the [Conductor's Hat] and prepared to leave.

Shannella came over and threw herself into his arms, "Come back safely."

Wu Heng smiled, stroked her tense jaw with his thumb, and kissed her gently on the lips, "Don't worry, it's okay."

"Well, I believe you." Shannara nodded with a smile.

Then, Minnie came over and threw herself into his arms. Wu Heng also held her face and kissed her gently.

The maids lined up and hugged each one goodbye.

After the familiar people finished, the witch Viola walked over somewhat stiffly and also offered a hug.

"Sir!" he said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's, and his face flushed red as he looked up.

Wu Heng also kissed her forehead gently, "Treasure Island is in your hands. Take good care of the home."

"Yes!" Viola replied, blushing and walking away quickly.

The Wood Elf sisters stood last.

The younger sister 'Sylvain''s eyes sparkled, and she was about to step forward, but was pulled back by her sister.

They saluted together, "Sir, have a safe journey."

"Okay! Go back, don't tell anyone about it, and call me if you have any problem." Wu Heng reminded again.

"Yes!" everyone responded.

After explaining everything, Wu Heng put on the "conductor's hat" and the ghost train appeared.

He waved again, got on the train, and disappeared.

……

Two days later.

The association's headquarters is located deep in the secluded stone fortress.

Lilith spiraled down the cold stone steps, her black Gothic skirt brushing against the steps, followed by the old butler. One of her sleeves was empty, as if an arm was missing, but her back was still straight.

In the hall, the swaying light stones stretched the human figures and distorted their projections onto the stone walls.

Several association members stood silently, and in the center stood a hunchbacked old woman with wrinkled skin.

"Captain Lilith." Everyone saluted in unison, their voices echoing in the stone hall.

The old woman also bowed her head, her movements slow but respectful.

After the salute, he quietly raised his eyes and looked at the legendary leader of the association in the light of the illumination stone.

I just didn't expect her to be so young and beautiful.

Lilith sat down at the main seat, "No need to be polite."

Everyone stood up, and the leading captain stepped aside, "Leader, Liz from the temple has been delivered safely."

The old woman saluted again, her voice hoarse, "Chief Lilith."

Lilith's eyes fell on her, "Do you know who wants you to come out?"

Liz said calmly, "It's the Sky Fox Princess."

Lilith raised her eyebrows.

I thought I would hear a name like 'Wu Heng' or Treasure Island, but I didn't expect it to be a character in the movie.

It seems that the boy hasn't told me something yet.

Lilith did not ask further questions and said calmly, "Follow me to Treasure Island tomorrow. It will be your new home."

Liz bowed deeply, "Yes, Chief."

Lilith turned her head and whispered to the old housekeeper, "Take her to the guest room and prepare hot food and medicinal tea."

The butler touched his chest with one hand, "Yes."

He walked towards Liz, his attitude respectful but dignified, "Ma'am, please follow me."

The old woman hobbled after him, her figure gradually disappearing into the shadow of the stone corridor.

Lilith withdrew her gaze from Liz's back and turned to look at the several association members who were waiting.

"You completed the mission well." Lilith's voice was still cold, but it rarely revealed a hint of approval. "Go with the butler to claim your reward later."

A few people's eyes flashed with surprise, but they soon lowered their heads. The leading captain said respectfully, "Thank you, Chief. This is our duty."

Lilith raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Duties are duties, rewards are rewards."

She tapped the armrest with her fingertips and changed the subject, "Has there been any abnormality in the temple recently?"

The captain frowned and thought for a moment before answering, "I haven't heard of any unusual situation. When we evacuated, everything inside and outside the temple was normal."

"Oh?" Lilith continued, "Didn't Draco claim that he had to return to the cathedral to attend an important ceremony?"

Draco is the new religious leader.

The captain was startled and answered carefully, "Chief, we don't know that."

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Before we left, there was no sign of preparations for the ceremony in the temple."

Just kidding, things between heroes are not something you can just talk about casually.

Lilith's fingertips suddenly stopped in mid-air.

My heart sensed something was wrong.

After asking a few more insignificant details, the old butler returned silently from the side corridor and stood aside like a ghost.

"Take them to the warehouse." Lilith said calmly, "One hundred silver coins each."

Although the amount of money is not exaggerated, it is not small either.

Several people immediately thanked him, "Thank you, Chief!"

The old butler waved his hand and led everyone back.

In the empty hall, Lilith sat alone.

The lighting stone cast her shadow on the stone wall, stretching it into an eerie silhouette.

He tapped his fingertips on the armrest again and began to think about the problem.

Wu Heng suddenly asked the religious leader...but there was no movement in the temple...

Both sides seemed to be planning something again.

He took out his cell phone and called Wu Heng, intending to ask him directly.

The call didn't go through.

I continued to make small calls, but still no one answered.

Sure enough there is a problem.

The butler returned, "Miss, they left."

Lilith stood up and said, "Prepare the carriage and go to Hadarai."

"Yes!"

The butler left quickly.

……

Yeko Kingdom, a city next to the capital.

In a dimly lit room in the local cathedral, three figures wearing black hoods sat around an old wooden round table.

The hood is completely black with various complex patterns on the inside. Even if you look closely from the face, the face is still a mess and you can't see the appearance clearly.

The black-robed man on the left knocked on the table and asked, "Any news from the palace?"

"Brittany's morning prayer time has been extended by half an hour, followed by the handling of government affairs and normal rest. There is not much change." The local bishop standing in the shadows replied immediately.

The second black-robed man continued to ask, "How many days are left until the Week of Courage?"

The local bishop replied, “It’s still five days away.”

"Tell her servants to keep a close eye on her. If they find any trace of Wu Heng or if she comes into contact with any strangers, report here immediately." The man in black robe spoke again.

The local bishop immediately responded, “Yes.”

"Okay, let's go down."

The bishop bowed again and walked backwards out of the room.
