Chapter 1306: Chapter 957, Corn Sword Saint_2

Wu Heng said, "Do you remember the skeleton I asked you to arrange previously?"

"The one wearing a robe, always walking with his hands behind his back, like some kind of leader?" Li Yahong recalled and asked.

"Yes, has it been arranged?" Wu Heng asked.

"It’s been placed at the forefront of clearing zombies, is there anything else planned?" Li Yahong continued to ask.

Wu Heng said, "Send it back, and I will arrange a new skeleton to replace its position at that time."

"Alright, I’ll pass the message right away." Li Yahong finished speaking and continued, "Next week is New Year, the base is holding a party, will you attend?"

Another year has passed.

Time flies so fast.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let me know in advance, I will prepare rewards for some of the base’s outstanding members."

Li Yahong also smiled, "With you attending, everyone’s enthusiasm will be even higher."

"I have nothing else, arrange the skeleton as soon as possible." Wu Heng said.

"Understood, I’ll drive it over to you in a couple of days."

After they finished speaking, they hung up the phone.

Xiao Xiao flew over, "I’ve thought about it, call him Pope Guangguang!"

The room went quiet.

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, "This name sounds a bit strange, and can we avoid the word ’Pope’?"

"Uncle said he’s not afraid of the Holy Court!" Xiao Xiao muttered on the side.

"I’m not afraid, but directly naming a skeleton ’Pope’ might give the impression of stirring up trouble." Wu Heng said.

Glenda, who was on the side, also chimed in, "Your uncle also has a sect; before becoming a deity, he was a pope."

"Oh, oh! Uncle is also a pope." Xiao Xiao flew to the other side, "I have a second name, Golden Corn Hero."

"Uh..., where did the inspiration come from?" Wu Heng asked.

"Doesn’t it feel like the Light Sword it conjures up flies out like scattered corn kernels?" Xiao Xiao blinked big eyes.

Wu Heng glanced at Glenda and Bella, the two souls shrugged, indicating indifference, "Feels like five words is a bit long."

"Corn Sword Saint! How about this name?" Xiao Xiao suggested again.

"The name... is acceptable, but what about the previous one, what name do you plan to give it? I think numbering them might be easier to remember." Wu Heng said.

"Previously? Which one?" Xiao Xiao recalled.

Glenda reminded, "The one that attacked the small island solo last time and got killed by your uncle."

"Oh, did I not name him?"

"Then..., the previous one was Corn Sword Saint No. 1, let’s call this one No. 2." Xiao Xiao said.

Wu Heng said to the skeleton, "From now on, you’ll be called Corn Sword Saint No. 2."

The skeleton nodded and stood obediently by the side.

They stayed in the room with the ghosts for a while.

Turned off the air conditioning and returned to Gold and Silver Island.

...

Near dusk, the banquet at the Island Lord’s Mansion began.

The bright lights illuminated the entire dining room warmly and elegantly.

The women sat around the long table, their skirts spreading like petals at the edge of the chairs.

Shanaela elegantly sliced the roast on her plate, glancing at the exquisitely dressed Elf Sisters, then looked back at Wu Heng, "I told the Fifth Elder about your defeat of the Holy Court, and he also wrote to the Elder’s Council."

This matter wasn’t intended to be hidden, the newspapers will also be released tomorrow.

Whether to talk about it or not doesn’t matter.

"What is the attitude of the Fifth Elder?" Wu Heng asked curiously.

Shanaela said, "What other attitude can he have, other than being shocked, he wrote the details in the letter, leaving it to the Elder’s Council to decide, but I think the Wood Elves will increase their cooperation with Gold and Silver Island."

Xi Ligui and Shi Yali, who were eating quietly, perked up their ears.

They knew the Wood Elves were close to Gold and Silver Island, cooperating in many areas, but now it sounds even deeper than they thought.

Wu Heng said, "Let’s see what the Elder’s Council’s attitude is, what about the Wood Elves’ church?"

Shanaela replied, "This reply should mention it in the letter."

Wu Heng nodded to show he understood.

Then, Andre Willow mentioned the newspaper’s release tomorrow, and everyone started chatting casually.

Wu Heng’s gaze fell on the voluptuous woman in a light blue gown next to Philippa.

Millicent, Philippa’s mother.

"Millicent, what level are you?" Wu Heng suddenly asked, the chat at the dining table quieted down a bit.

Her Professional Scroll was also given to her by Wu Heng.

Back when Gold and Silver Island wasn’t stable, she was an informant providing intel.

Until now, she hasn’t needed to provide much intel for a long time.

"Master, I’m Level 3." Millicent said softly, somewhat reserved.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then said, "Investigator promotions are a bit special, Wei’er, arrange a city hall position for her tomorrow to quickly increase her level."

Millicent understood Wu Heng’s intent but still said, "What about the tavern...?"

"Arrange someone under you to manage it, Philippa’s level is getting higher, you have to work hard too." Wu Heng said.

"Yes, master." Millicent said.

Philippa, on the side, also said, "I’ll take you to city hall tomorrow."

After discussing a few matters, the women continued talking about interesting island affairs, with occasional crisp laughter.

After dinner, a few people went to the media room to watch a movie.

Wu Heng went upstairs alone and entered the radio room.

...

Radio room.

The room was quiet, Wu Heng picked up the phone and dialed Wen Mansha’s number.

"Master!" Wen Mansha’s voice came through the receiver with a coquettish tone.

Then, it switched to a video call.

Wu Heng saw Wen Mansha’s fiery red hair and beige nightgown on the other side.

He smiled and asked, "How are things on your side?"

"The Yeko Kingdom’s army crossed Gray Rock Canyon this morning." Wen Mansha’s tone suddenly turned cold, "It looks like they’re planning to go to war with us directly."

Indeed...

The Religious Leader’s threat was not an empty bluff; the Holy Court had made some arrangements over at Lundham City.

The plan was to have the Yeko Kingdom’s army launch a direct attack.

It’s actually easy to fathom this matter.

If the Holy Court attacks Gold and Silver Island and kills me, then the skeleton army in Lundham City would collapse due to the Necromancer’s death.

At that time, the Yeko Kingdom’s army could march north in one sweep, and take over the entire Lundham City.

"Are you safe over there?" Wu Heng asked.

"Don’t worry, Master, I’m very safe here, and I’m not afraid of the Yeko Kingdom’s army. If they really had the capability, they would have attacked long ago, instead of waiting until now!" Wen Mansha said disdainfully towards the Crown Prince.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and decided to tell her about the situation here, "The Yeko Kingdom’s army has ties to the Holy Court. I killed the Pope and the Holy Court’s army, and they’ve arranged for the Yeko Kingdom to take action against Lundham City."

In the video, Wen Mansha furrowed her brows, "The Pope is dead, isn’t he?"

"The new Pope."

Wen Mansha widened her eyes, surprised at the notion that her master could simply kill each newly appointed Pope.

It seemed quicker than the gang leaders changing in Lundham City.

Wu Heng continued, "Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for a few Level 20 skeletons to protect you, as the Holy Court’s intervention will surely include some experts."

Wen Mansha regained composure, "I think it’s still manageable; the skeletons you’ve assigned me should suffice."

"It’s better to be cautious. If there’s danger, use the scroll to leave with your daughter." Wu Heng advised.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you, Master." Wen Mansha smiled.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then added, "Also, take care of the Mechanist I’ve sent over. There aren’t many of them, so there mustn’t be any issues."

"Don’t worry, aside from the City Lord’s Mansion, they’re the safest." Wen Mansha replied with a smile.

Then, Wen Mansha brought her daughter over.

Wu Heng played with the daughter a bit, and then ended the call.

After that, he dialed Lilith, but there was no answer; she was likely in the Space Ring.

According to the time, Lilith should be nearing the Blood Clan territory.

Wait for her to return the call to discuss the location.

Joining together to deal with the Blood Clan hero shouldn’t be a problem.

We’ll talk once she calls back!

...

Returning to the study.

The Three Ghosts floated nearby.

Not far away, the Ghost Lady floated above the Demon Soul Pot, using telekinesis to manipulate a stylus on a tablet screen.

Learning quickly indeed, she mastered it after a couple of tries.

Wu Heng sat on the chair, tapping his fingers on the armrest.

"If you promise not to cause trouble," Wu Heng looked at the Lady and continued, "Glenda and the others can take you out for fresh air."

The ghosts watching the movie turned their heads sharply, eyes wary, "What are you plotting?"
