The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 1402 - 1001, Last time you said the same thing.

Chapter 1402: Chapter 1001, Last time you said the same thing.

Both sides fell into silence simultaneously.

Lilith made it very clear that the Holy Court needed a hero, so the previous Level 19 Protective Church Knight became the hero.

Wu Heng asked: "How did the promotion happen? Any clues?"

Asking other heroes might be awkward, but with Lilith, there’s no such issue.

The Blood Clan and the Holy Court have their conflicts, and neither wants the Holy Court to become too powerful.

"Not clear for now." Lilith shook her head, and the wisps of hair at her temples gently swayed, "But the association has already reevaluated the strength of the Holy Court."

Currently, the association appears to be dominated by the Elf Race, with two ruling heroes, both held in high esteem, capable of mobilizing resources far beyond other heroes.

Although the Holy Court spans various nations and races, it gives the impression of gradually declining.

But this time, the hero’s emergence makes others in the association have to focus on the Holy Court.

The possibility that heroes could emerge at any time is somewhat terrifying.

Wu Heng asked: "Is the new Religious Leader also a member of the Human Race?"

"Human Race!" Lilith responded plainly.

"What’s the person like?" Wu Heng continued asking.

"Quite calm, rarely gives opinions at meetings, completely opposite to Saidu." Lilith paused, "In your words, quite low-key."

Low-key!

Indeed, it’s possible due to personality reasons, after all, just promoted from Level 19 professional to hero, being cautious and low-key is also normal.

But thinking of Saidu’s rebirth ceremony and some things behind the Holy Court, it feels more inclined that the Holy Court is executing some secret plan, unwilling to create extra complications.

"Being low-key is good." Wu Heng smiled and said, "Everyone lives peacefully together."

Lilith glanced at him, "Your smile looks fake."

Ignoring her sarcasm, Wu Heng turned to ask: "Can the crimes of the Celt Royal Family be made public now?"

"The Royal Family colluded with an Evil Cult using forbidden rituals to extend their lives." Lilith’s tone was cold, "Those nobles dare to do anything for eternal life."

If not mentioned, it’s about the Celt Kingdom, Wu Heng would think it’s about the Crown Prince of the Yeko Kingdom.

What’s going on with these two Human Race countries, their crimes are about the same.

Both colluded with an Evil Cult, only the Crown Prince wasn’t for extending lifespan, but for consolidating status.

Before Wu Heng could speak, Lilith continued, "It’s nothing strange, for human nobles, lifespan is their greatest obstacle, not knowing how many human nobles contact the Blood Clan through various channels every year, wanting to become Pale-blood to prolong their lives."

Wu Heng also knows this, he had helped Lilith retrieve the Blood Cup of the Blood Clan.

Moreover, he had also thought about it, if his lifespan came to an end and he still hadn’t completed the promotion, he would transform himself into a Corpse Ghost.

Everyone fears death, and the nobles have more resources to find ways.

Wu Heng continued to ask, "What about Lu An? Was he captured too?"

"He and Mo Fa Te disappeared, the association is searching for them." Lilith said.

Mo Fa Te was Lu An’s mentor and valued him greatly, was likely involved.

Moreover, from the letter Lu An wrote to himself, he had long died at the hands of the Holy Court.

With his capability, he had no qualifications to fight against the Holy Court.

The two casually mentioned Lu An’s situation, Wu Heng narrated his encounter with the Twelve Holy Teachings and his slaying of the Sect Guardian.

Lilith raised her eyebrow, "I’ll notify the association east of the Celt Kingdom to pay attention to this matter. You killed a Sect Guardian, you can write a report to exchange for merit."

"Well, merit is up for discussion, just afraid of causing trouble." Wu Heng said seriously.

Lilith nodded, then hesitantly asked, "Why did you run over there?"

"A friend’s race built a small village over there, asked me to take a look, to relocate them to the Gold and Silver Island." Wu Heng explained roughly.

"Don’t wander around too much, still uncertain about what the Holy Court is planning!" Lilith advised.

In her words, it also felt like the Holy Court was planning something.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you." Wu Heng smiled and then said, "Call me if there’s anything."

Lilith nodded. Just as Wu Heng was about to hang up, Xiao Xiao came over, "Uncle, if you’re done, let me chat with sister for a bit."

Then, he squeezed into the picture and said excitedly, "Sister, is anyone collecting cards over there?"

Lilith’s stern expression instantly melted, the corners of her lips slightly raised, "Heard about it, Viola’s card collection."

"Yes! People swap cards at the tavern on the island every day, it’s so lively."

...

Wu Heng didn’t disturb the two’s happy chat, stood up and walked towards the courtyard.

The gentle breeze brushed lightly, the flowers and plants in the courtyard swayed gently, with small petals falling onto the stone table.

Wu Heng sat in the pavilion, Glenda was holding a book and flipping through its pages, seeing him come over, "Finished talking to your ’little girlfriend’?"

"What do you mean little girlfriend!" Wu Heng casually snapped up a petal like a dart and flicked it aside, "The association over there, the new Religious Leader has taken the position, also a hero."

"Tell me more."

Wu Heng repeated what Lilith said again.

Glenda pondered for a moment, then said, "The Priest’s power comes from the Divine Spirits, now very well validated, nothing strange about that, what’s important now is the Holy Court’s method of promotion."

After a slight pause, continued, "It can be confirmed that the Holy Court cannot endlessly produce heroes, possibly due to doctrinal limitations, or other reasons keeping their heroes at a certain number, I speculate it might have to do with the four Holy Seats."

Wu Heng nodded, agreeing with this statement.

If heroes could be produced continuously, the Holy Court wouldn’t be suppressed by the association, nor would only this few come over to kill him.
