Chapter 1433: Chapter 1014: New Flag-bearer (Part 2)

As she spoke, Li Yahong’s tone carried a hint of laughter.

In the End of the World, the environment was harsh, and food was scarce.

People needed spiritual hope and wished for a god to save them.

But now the situation is gradually stabilizing, food is sufficient, the environment is safe, and if you suddenly claim it was you who saved the End of the World, aren’t you asking for trouble!

Moreover, this sect is different from Yama Hall, which has always maintained its presence on the world channel.

Providing food to the world, establishing a global trading market, and later developing serums.

Saying it’s a savior has some basis.

This Sun Sect just relies on empty words.

On Wu Heng’s side, after hearing about the Sun Sect, he frowned slightly.

He asked, "That one from the Vatican?"

"No! It’s from a small country, I didn’t pay much attention to the specifics, they just suddenly emerged," Li Yahong answered.

Wu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Look into it, then listen to what their doctrine says?"

"Okay, I’ll keep an eye on it," Li Yahong agreed.

Wu Heng continued, "By the way, you can bring back the Corn Sword Saint No. 2 that I asked you to send away last time."

"I’ll arrange for someone to pick it up and send it to the prison there later."

"Alright!"

After discussing the main things, the two continued chatting about some matters regarding the base.

Then they hung up the phone.

...

Xiao Xiao and Bella had already returned, with a few Ghosts gathered together, looking at content on the forum via their phones.

Now the forum allows for video and photo uploads.

Gradually restoring to the era of short videos from before.

Seeing Xiao Xiao hadn’t come over to talk to him about the zombies, Wu Heng surmised there probably weren’t any zombies that reached Level 20 yet.

He also opened the forum to check the content.

One person and Four Souls waited until three in the afternoon.

Wu Heng got up and said, "Time to go home!"

After the Four Souls flew back into his body, he opened the boundary door and stepped in.

...

Back on Gold and Silver Island.

Xiao Xiao manipulated the puppet, making bird-like gestures as she ran downstairs.

Wu Heng followed behind, yelling, "Slow down, don’t fall."

The figure had already vanished, leaving Xiao Xiao’s carefree response, "I’m already Level 20."

As he walked down to the first floor, Mini smiled and said, "Master, dinner is ready, you can eat now."

"Great!" Wu Heng headed to the dining room.

The rest of the household also emerged from the training room.

Their training clothes were soaked in sweat, clinging to their skin, highlighting different but fluid muscle lines.

After a brief wash, the women sat at the dining table and began to eat.

They ate simply.

Wu Heng asked, "Viola, how’s the training been going recently?"

Viola, sitting to his right beside Mini, paused her spoon briefly before answering, "I can feel an increase in strength, it shouldn’t take long to level up."

"Keep it up!" Wu Heng continued, "The association still owes me some Merit, if before the Merits are exchanged you reach Hero level, all these Merits will be yours to trade for the items and weapons you need."

Viola’s eyes lit up, Hero’s Merits.

And it sounded like quite a lot too.

"Thank you, My Lord, I will work even harder." Viola stood up to express her gratitude again.

Philippa said, "All given to Viola, what about us when we reach Hero?"

"Why does it sound like you’re dividing up an inheritance?" Wu Heng replied sarcastically.

Shanaela raised her wine glass, took a sip, and laughed, "Philippa, if you think about it this way, when we’re both Heroes, there will be more Special Items and tools, and by then we won’t need to become Heroes to get lots of Special Items."

"That’s true!" Philippa laughed.

The group continued eating, while Wu Heng started asking about the level situation of the others.

...

In the study.

"The dream passage has opened, if Wu Heng returns, tell him for me," said the Lady.

Glenda nodded, "Alright, stay safe."

After they spoke, the Lady’s figure vanished.

When she reappeared, she saw Liz sitting alone on a piece of weathered gray rock. Her thin clothes clung to her body, emaciated, eyes vacant, like someone already dead.

"The association’s doctors said that the child is gone," Liz’s voice was as light as smoke.

The Lady walked over and sat beside her, "Do you understand what happened?"

"The ritual failed, I couldn’t give birth to the Saint Heir, The Holy Court wants to punish me... I know it was you who asked the association to save me," Liz still kept her head down.

The Lady pondered for a moment, "Would you like to know the truth?"

The Lady turned her head, "At least you’ll know who wants you alive, who is harming you."

Liz remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Please tell me, I’d like to hear."

...

The next day.

Wu Heng had just finished Evil Qi Bone Forging, and his entire skeleton still retained a burning pain.

After showering and coming downstairs, the phone on the table rang.

He answered, and Shi Yali’s capable voice came through the receiver, "My Lord, the new Flag-bearer has arrived and wishes to meet you."

Her tone suggested she wasn’t alone.

"Alright, I’m on my way now," Wu Heng said, and the other side promptly hung up.

Mini walked in from outside, still holding a plate of sliced fruit, "Master, are you heading out?"

"Yes, going to the association," Wu Heng took a piece of fruit and popped it into his mouth, "The new Flag-bearer has arrived, and it’s a good chance to talk to Xi Ligui about matters on the island."

Mini nodded and efficiently helped him with his coat.

Once fully dressed, Wu Heng used the Teleportation Technique to leave.

Reappearing, he arrived in the courtyard of the Steward Mansion, entered the association through the back door, walked down the corridor, and headed straight to the study.

He knocked lightly on the door, received a response, and then entered.

Upon opening the door, the study was softly lit.

Besides the Elf Sisters, a Dwarf wearing a luxurious purple dress was seated on the sofa, dressed in a purple fitted outfit.

Wu Heng paused, then raised an eyebrow, "Sim?"

He recognized the Dwarf in front of him.

They had previously investigated the disappearance case in Netalee City together, an Investigator at Level 18.

Upon seeing Wu Heng, Sim immediately jumped off the sofa, performed a standard Dwarven chest salute, and spoke in a voice as loud as if giving a speech, "It’s a pleasure to see you again, Honorable Leader! Sim Cox greets you and wishes you a joyful day!"

"I’m also happy to see you, Sim." Wu Heng smiled.

Sim sensed Wu Heng’s warmth and replied respectfully, "Thank you, My Lord."

They took their seats.

Shi Yali served them each a cup of tea and returned to her spot.

Xi Ligui said, "The headquarters’ order has been issued, Mr. Sim will be the new Flag-bearer for the Emerald Sea."

Sim immediately straightened his posture and stated earnestly, "I look forward to working with you, Leader and Deacon Hela Gui!"

Perhaps due to the last incident with an elf Flag-bearer, the newly appointed one wasn’t only someone Wu Heng was familiar with but also an Investigator.

Typically, Investigators are in civilian roles within the association, mainly assisting in support functions.

This time, directly appointed as a Flag-bearer.

Wu Heng sipped his tea and said with a smile, "We’re all working for the association, it’s natural to look out for each other."

"Exactly!" Sim echoed with a smile.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they completed the formal steps of meeting with the Leader.

Sim tactfully took his leave, following Shi Yali to view the dormitories; having just arrived, finding a long-term place to stay was necessary.

Once the door closed, Xi Ligui curiously asked, "Recently, there’s been smoke billowing non-stop in the direction of the Island Lord’s Mansion. What are you guys burning in broad daylight?"

"Practicing Skills," Wu Heng said with a straight face.

"Don’t try to fool me!" Xi Ligui wore an incredulous expression, "Do you really think I’m that naive? What Skill involves daily fire?"

Wu Heng said, "I’ll take you to see tomorrow, you can practice too."

Seeing he was serious, Xi Ligui asked, "Really?"

"Really." Wu Heng added, "You can come in the evening too. The cat at home can dance; I’ll let it perform for you."

"When did you get a cat?"
