Chapter 1389: Chapter 995, 500,000 Compensation_2

"Thousands of years have passed, so even if we find them, what does it matter?"

The Lady’s gaze drifted outside the window, and she said calmly, "I just want to have a look, I am the Big Fox Woman of the Heavenly Fox Clan, they are my people."

Wu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, it shouldn’t be difficult to find."

The Lady smiled, "If you can find them, I’ll have them build a church for you."

"Okay, I’ll ask around for you tomorrow. The Hongwen Alliance and the Hunter should have records," Wu Heng said.

The association has branched out across the continent, with clear records in each region.

If this Heavenly Fox Clan still exists, it shouldn’t be hard to inquire about them.

"Hmm! I’ll wait for your good news." The Lady nodded with a smile.

Wu Heng said nothing more and continued sipping his tea.

Outside the window, Retili was being escorted out of the mansion by the maids.

Wu Heng glanced at the sky, greeted the ghosts, and went downstairs to wash and rest.

...

The next day, in the morning.

Sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains into the study. Wu Heng was chatting idly with the ghosts when Mini’s clear voice called from downstairs, "Master! Assistant Shi Yali is on the phone!"

Many times, Wu Heng’s cellphone couldn’t be reached.

So, whenever the association had matters, they would call the landline of the Island Lord’s Mansion, and if it was something serious, Mini would relay it to him.

"Okay, I’m heading down now." Wu Heng agreed and got up to go downstairs.

He walked to the landline, picked up the phone, and said, "Hello?"

From the receiver, Shi Yali’s voice carried the seriousness of business, "Leader Wu Heng, several elders from the headquarters are here, asking when you will be available so they can visit you at the Island Lord’s Mansion."

Elders from headquarters?

No wonder there’s such formality today, someone’s watching.

Wu Heng asked, "Is it just a visit, or is there something else?"

A slight inquiry could be heard on the other end of the phone, then Shi Yali’s voice amplified again, "It’s the compensation from headquarters, and they intend to visit you."

"No need for such trouble, I happen to be going to the association." Wu Heng said.

"Alright, we’ll wait for you." Shi Yali replied and hung up.

Wu Heng put the receiver down, and Mini had already prepared his coat for going out.

As she helped him into a cumbersome yet elegant robe, she casually asked, "Are they people from headquarters?"

"They said headquarters sent the compensation over." Wu Heng said.

"Compensation from headquarters?" Mini’s eyes showed confusion.

Wu Heng lightly tapped her forehead, "Forgot? Last time when we released the Religious Leader, they promised to pay a large sum of money, and the association as the guarantor naturally has to oversee the execution."

Mini’s eyes lit up, "It’s been so long!"

Indeed, from releasing the Religious Leader until now, Wu Heng had not only resolved the conflict in the Yeko Kingdom but also leisurely spent time on Gold and Silver Island.

This compensation had only just arrived.

If it weren’t for the association as the guarantor, the Holy Court might have tried to back out again.

After dressing up, Wu Heng rubbed Mini’s little head, released the [Teleportation Technique], and disappeared.

...

Appearing once again, he had already reached the courtyard of the Steward Mansion.

Walking along the corridor from the rear entrance of the association, he eventually stopped at the door of the Steward’s Office.

After lightly knocking twice, he pushed the door open and entered.

Five people were inside the room; besides the two Elf Sisters, four visitors were sitting on the sofa and chairs: two elves, one dwarf, one human, and one gnome.

It was a distinctly five-person team setup.

"Leader, sir!" Behind the desk, Xi Ligui abruptly stood up.

The five people on the sofa also awakened as if from a dream, stood up in unison, and greeted him. The elf at the front bowed gracefully, "Lucien! Greetings, Leader Wu Heng."

The following elders also reported their names, their tones cautious and reverent.

To outsiders, the titles surrounding Wu Heng were no longer just the youngest leader, the great detective, or the innovator of various items.

Instead, he was the fierce man who killed two Church Heroes and destroyed the Religious Leader’s body.

So young, yet he had already made the entire Holy Court bow their heads, which was unimaginable.

Thus, one must be extra cautious when dealing with him.

Wu Heng nodded calmly, "Sit."

Once everyone was seated again, Xi Ligui offered the main seat to him.

"Leader Wu Heng," the Elf Elder at the head rose once more and said, "According to the command of ’Hadara,’ we have brought the Church’s compensation and the association’s merit rewards."

Saying this, three special items, a Skill Book, and a Space Satchel appeared on the table.

The Elf Elder continued, "Including the Space Satchel, there are five special items in total, and inside the satchel are five hundred thousand gold coins assembled by the Church, please inspect them."

Next to him, Xi Ligui and Shi Yali inhaled sharply.

This figure was probably enough to buy a small kingdom!

The two exchanged glances and finally understood why Wu Heng had let the other party go before; it truly cost them an immense amount to save the Religious Leader.

Wu Heng glanced at the special items, not expecting the Space Satchel to count as one.

The Space Satchel was indeed a good tool and quite expensive, but he already had two, plus a Space Belt.

Having so many wasn’t of much use.

He handed the Space Satchel to Shi Yali, "Count the gold coins."

Shi Yali nodded, took the satchel, and began counting the gold coins inside.

Wu Heng’s gaze then fell on the remaining special items.

The first thing he noticed was a die.

[Jigai’s Game Board (Special Item)]

[Effect: Forces 2~5 people to participate in the game.]

[Side effect: Bears the consequences of the game.]

(Description: Ready for an exciting game?)

Holy!

This was the tool of the raging dwarf.

At that time, it was this item that forcibly dragged all of them into the game and, under the game’s mechanism, killed the Religious Leader.

In the analysis of several people, it was suspected that this special item had independent consciousness, discovering their conflicts and guiding mutual attacks.

Moreover, from the situation at the time, the game aimed to kill him, but it didn’t expect his unique attributes, which led to the Religious Leader being killed instead.

And now, this was directly rewarded to him.

Wu Heng clearly felt that the dwarf no longer wanted it.

Hand it in to the association, and then it’s given to him.

Taking a deep breath.

His gaze refocused on the die!

This special item was actually very powerful, capable of trapping four heroes; if they didn’t play the game, they couldn’t leave.

Based on that alone, it’s the most potent control-type special item he’s ever seen.

The main issue is that this special item is uncontrollable by him, and anyone who enters could be in danger.

After looking at the die, he continued to examine the remaining items.

The second item was a magic staff.

[Curse Ash Wand (Special Item)]

[Effect: Curse Magic System Amplification +150%, the final effect of the Spell will have burning damage.]

[Side Effect: Part of the body carbonizes after three castings.]

(Description: An ancient staff entwined with stardust and charred vines, it emits a red glow when infused with magic power.)

A Curse Magic System staff!

They probably noticed that he used a similar Spell when hunting the Religious Leader, so they prepared this special item for him.

The third item was a mage’s hat.

[Crown of Lies (Special Item)]

[Description: Your words weave mental illusions, causing listeners to fall into false cognition.]

[Side effect: With use, lose the ability to discern truth from lies.]

(Description: A hat worn by a silver-tongued individual, it will make all your lies come true.)

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

A mental illusion hat.

His words would cause listeners to fall into false cognition.

This hat has a great effect!

The side effect isn’t significant; it’s losing the ability to discern truth from lies with usage.

It can be understood as lying so much that even you can’t tell truth from fiction anymore.

As long as it’s not used for an extended period, it should be fine.

Furthermore, compared to the previous items, this seems the most useful.

Lastly, there was a Skill Book.

[Bell of the Dead]

(Description: Designate an area where the tolling of the bell full of negative energy resounds, causing all creatures within to fall into negative states like fear and confusion.

All undead units enter a berserk state.)
