Chapter 969, I'm Not Going Anywhere

Kurt was speechless for a moment, his fingers subconsciously stroking the ring on his hand.

The topic also changed from joining the Endless Desert to the ghost trading between the two sides.

It really fits the conversation between necromancers.

The quickest way to increase the level of a ghost is through the devouring of souls.

One of the reasons why necromancers are notorious is the soul-stealing ritual, which involves gathering a large number of living beings and extracting their souls to feed their own ghosts.

But now the association is in charge, and the Endless Desert also has clear laws.

This method has long been banned.

The deal that the young hero proposed so casually seemed more incredible than seeing a whale in the desert.

Where does one get the confidence to use ghosts as bargaining chips?

"Are you sure?" Kurt asked, his voice a little dry, and immediately coughed twice.

"Sure, I can propose it. I naturally have my own method. It just depends on whether you need it." Wu Heng said calmly.

Kurt took a deep breath, nodded and said, "This matter is beyond my ability to make a decision. I will write a letter back to the Endless Desert and wait for the Immortal Monarch's decision. Of course... I think he will agree to your deal. After all, a reasonable deal is a good thing for both parties."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly. The transaction of ghosts still needs to be approved by the Immortal Emperor.

Writing a letter to the endless desert would probably take several months.

By that time, maybe I would have tricked the ancient skills from the Empress.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, it is not easy to upgrade a ghost. I can help the ghost upgrade, but it will cost a huge price. You can explain it directly to the monarch. As a reward, I want a skill book or ritual record above level 18, or a rare item equivalent to the first-level merit of the association."

Kurt paused and nodded, "I'll write your request in the letter."

Wu Heng also smiled and stopped talking about this topic. He asked, "What are your plans?"

Kurt said: "I will stay on the island for a while, but don't worry, I will abide by the local rules and will not cause you any trouble."

"Restrict your ghost. There are many high-level professionals from the association on the island. Don't cause any damage." Wu Heng reminded more directly.

"Understood. I will limit the range of activities of the ghost."

Wu Heng nodded, "Okay, let's do this for now. Let the City Hall notify me if there is any news."

"Yes, hero." Kurt stood up and saluted again, "Then I will take my leave and not disturb you anymore."

After saying this, he took his skeleton and left the meeting room.

After the other person left, Xiao Xiao appeared from the side and said, "Uncle, let's go to the desert to play! I haven't been to the desert yet."

"It's all sand, what's there to play with? You can see it if you go to the beach. There's nothing fun." Wu Heng looked at her and answered.

"How is that possible! Aren't there pyramids?" Xiaoxiao muttered.

"That's not from here." Wu Heng said.

Xiaoxiao also reacted and smiled awkwardly.

Annette, standing nearby, also said, "Look at how he dresses. It's not as good as ours."

"That's right." Xiao Xiao said, and flew back to Wu Heng's side, "Uncle, if we help them upgrade their ghosts, will they be stronger than us and fight us?"

"If they have the ability to make the ghosts surpass us, they would not ask us to help improve the ghosts." Wu Heng said.

"I didn't understand some of it." Xiaoxiao muttered.

Annette smiled and said, "They don't have the ability to rise above your level."

"Oh!" Xiaoxiao nodded.

Wu Heng glanced at the time, stood up and said to Annette, "If there is nothing else to do here, you should go home early as well."

"Okay, master." Annette smiled, her white drooping ears wagging.

Wu Heng reached out and touched her furry ears, and Annette rubbed forward coquettishly.

After confirming that nothing happened.

【Teleportation】is released, and the figure disappears in the conference room.

……

The figure appeared again and had returned to the island owner's mansion.

"Uncle, I'm going back to my room. Call me if you need anything!" Xiaoxiao flew past quickly.

Before Wu Heng could answer, his figure passed through the wall and disappeared.

Walk towards the gate.

Then I saw Shannara lying lazily on a wicker lounge chair, wearing sunglasses, her thin long skirt rising and falling slightly with her breathing.

She looks like a beautiful young woman enjoying a sunbath on the beach.

Wu Heng sat down on the edge of the recliner, put his hand along the hem of his clothes, and reached into his collar from his waist. While holding his full hand, he touched the amber pendant between his collarbones.

Shannella asked, "Who's coming from the city hall?"

"The messenger from the Endless Desert, the Immortal Emperor!" Wu Heng said.

"The Immortal Emperor's messenger?" Shannella grabbed his wrist, his sunglasses slid down to the tip of his nose, revealing his emerald eyes. "What is he doing here?"

The Immortal Emperor is also a legendary hero and has a relatively high reputation in the outside world.

Shannara is the president of the largest guild of commerce of the Wood Elves, so naturally she has heard of this hero.

Wu Heng pretended to be mysterious, "Guess!"

"Tell me what you're guessing." Shannara pinched the back of his hand lightly.

Wu Heng said this, "He invited me to join the Endless Desert and promised to give me a status no less than that of the leader of the association after I joined."

Shannara sat up suddenly and was about to speak when Wu Heng continued, "Don't worry! I didn't agree. We are fine here. Why do we have to go to the desert?"

"He's gone?" Shannara asked after she felt relieved.

"No, I proposed a deal with the Endless Desert in exchange for some knowledge related to the Necromancer, and he stayed to wait for news from there." Wu Heng said, rubbing his hands gently.

"That's good too. Maybe we can gain something from interacting with them." Shannara nodded.

"I know." Wu Heng bent down and kissed her forehead gently, then said, "I'll go back to my room first. Don't stay in the sun for too long. It's not good to get sunburned."

"Yeah!" Shannara straightened her clothes and lay back down.

……

Return to the study.

Only Glenda's soul was floating in the air reading a book. When he heard the door open, he turned around and looked over here.

Wu Heng walked in, "Where's the queen?"

"She went downstairs to watch Xiao Xiao playing games." Glenda continued, "Don't worry, she's still waiting for you to lose the bet and taunt you. She won't run away now."

This was because she was sure that she couldn't find the ruins she mentioned in the air, and was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

"When the time comes, we'll know who will laugh at whom." Wu Heng sat down aside.

"How's it out there?" Glenda asked casually, in a chatty tone.

"Some people came from the Endless Desert and invited me to join them." Wu Heng recounted everything that happened at the City Hall, including his rejection of the other party's invitation and the subsequent transaction.

Glenda said, "Are you planning to use the remaining souls of zombies to upgrade the ghosts?"

"Well, let's change some rituals to give you a boost." Wu Heng said.

"If you have a chance, ask the ghost about learning skills." Glenda reminded.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, "It depends on the situation. It's not easy to ask about this matter. Ghosts can only learn skills at level 20. If I ask the Immortal Emperor, others may not know, and it is easy to reveal our level 20 information."

"also."

As the two chatted, Benny flew back from outside and floated aside and said, "The smart speaker works well in the church. Everyone is discussing the matter of the divine messenger."

In the morning, Xiaoxiao went out with him, and Benny went out to investigate what was happening at the church.

Wu Heng asked: "What questions did you ask?"

"Those going out to sea will ask about the weather and some things on the ship. Mercenaries and some professionals will ask about their own career advancement. The audio technicians will provide methods and ways of training. In the eyes of most ordinary professionals, this is already like having a dedicated teacher." Benny said as she recalled.

Ordinary people learn to read from their family members, and those who have teachers and inheritance are mostly children from large families.

Right now, Xiao Ai can provide training advice, and can be considered a teacher.

Moreover, the information retrieved is all sorted out by Hongwen, which is more comprehensive than that of some teachers.

"An old fisherman asked about tomorrow's tide time, and the sound system gave the exact time. The old man kept kowtowing to the statue and shouting 'Sea God'. The priest reminded him that this was the master of Wuheng Island of Lingqi Sect, but the old man didn't hear a word he said." Benny said with a smile.

Glenda, who was standing by, also smiled.

"Also! A blacksmith, probably an apprentice, asked how to forge a better sword. He had been working as an assistant in the blacksmith shop for three years, and the boss probably wanted to keep him as an assistant. The boss provided a complete set of forging and quenching techniques, and the kid's eyes widened bigger than copper bells!" Benny continued talking.

It sounds like the effect is better than expected.

In the current environment, the knowledge base is really a dimensionality reduction attack.

"Do you think that the sound system can increase our faith?" Wu Heng asked, casually opening the panel to check.

【Faith: 145/50000.】

From 105 to 145.

Wu Heng's heart moved.

It took nearly half a year to rise to 105, and it has risen by 40 points in this morning.

Faith is different from fame.

It is to make people believe that you are a god, or have some relationship with gods.

The appearance of the sound directly makes people believe that Wu Heng has a certain connection with the gods.

This is just one morning. Once it is popularized in other churches, the effect will be even better.

Benny said: "I feel it is effective. Coupled with your amazing upgrade speed before, many people are convinced that you are a god incarnate."

"As long as it works, it will be rolled out in churches all over the place, and faith will be gathered faster." Wu Heng was in a good mood and took a sip from the teacup.

Continue chatting with the two souls about the endless desert.

……

At the edge of the church square, several Chamber of Commerce representatives stretched their necks to look around like quails.

"What's going on?" A businessman tilted his gold-rimmed glasses to one side. "What kind of event is being held in the church? How come so many people have gathered here? Even Deacon Silas has to come out to maintain order."

It is not surprising that such a scene occurred in Treasure Island. People have gathered together at commodity exhibitions and auctions.

This time, I didn’t hear any special news.

Another person said, "Not necessarily! The conflict between Treasure Island and the Vatican has escalated. Even if the auction is held again, no outsiders will come to the island. It is completely unnecessary to rely solely on the locals."

The others also nodded in agreement.

If the Chamber of Commerce had not asked them to stay and see how things developed, they would have left Treasure Island.

So as not to be implicated.

As they were talking, a few people walked out from the crowd in the distance.

The Chamber of Commerce representative immediately called out, "Caleb! This way..."

When Caleb emerged from the crowd, his hair was loose, the emblem of the Lemei Chamber of Commerce on his dress was crooked, and he was holding the "Spiritual Enlightenment Church Promotional Leaflet" in his hand.

Caleb walked over and looked at the people gathered together. "What are you doing standing here? Why don't you go ask the Messenger about the development of the Chamber of Commerce?"

Messenger? Chamber of Commerce Development?

Several people frowned.

"What on earth happened in there?" the person who called her over asked curiously.

Seeing that they looked confused and didn't seem to be teasing him, Caleb replied, "The island owner has arranged a divine messenger in the church to answer some questions for the island residents."

"Caleb, you've been to all these places, do you really believe this?" the man continued.

"You can go in and take a look. I have something else to do, so I can't accompany you." Caleb said and left.

A few people looked at each other, then followed him into the queue and lined up together.

They were squeezed into a prayer room, with a priest on the side instructing them on how to wake up the messenger.

After 'waking up' the messenger.

The businessman with gold-rimmed glasses asked in a suspicious tone, "I am the representative of the 'Fragrant Wings Chamber of Commerce'. Could you please give our chamber of commerce some advice?"

After a circle of light flashed at the bottom of the statue, a female electronic voice sounded.

"'Fragrant Wings Chamber of Commerce' is one of the oldest spice trading chambers in the Celtic Kingdom. It deals in rare spices, magical incense, and alchemical potion raw materials. The founder is 'Zane Ferguson'..."

The gold-rimmed glasses merchant trembled all over, "You..., how do you know..."

This has exposed all the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Messenger did not answer, but continued, "The suggestions for expanding the vanilla trade are as follows: the dwarves celebrate the New Year, and the elves prefer silver incense..."

The businessman listened and his eyes gradually widened.

Gods really exist!

No, the island owner really has a relationship with the gods.

Otherwise, how could such detailed information be provided?

Then take out a pen and paper and write it down quickly.

When the voice ended, the man stood up and said to the other businessmen who were also stunned, "I have something to do, so I'll go back first. We'll get together again when we have time."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

He wanted to pass this message back. Even if the higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce saw the letter, they might think he was crazy.

After making way, the jeweler who witnessed the same miracle knelt on the futon with a thud, "Great messenger of God, Xiao Ai-san!"

……

dusk.

The study was filled with the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Hmph!" The ghost 'Niangniang' flew up from downstairs, deliberately passed in front of Wu Heng, and glared at him fiercely.

Wu Heng ignored her and continued chatting with Granda.

After a while, the empress flew closer and said, "Why are there other necromancers on the island?"

"I came from the Endless Desert, where Necromancer is a very common profession." Wu Heng explained while drinking tea.

The queen stared with big eyes and said, "We have agreed on a bet. Before the result comes out, don't think about sending me out, otherwise I will curse you even if I become a ghost."

Wu Heng looked at her with some surprise.

This is because she thought she had found a necromancer for her.

"Aren't you looking for a necromancer? This profession is very common in the Endless Desert." Wu Heng said.

"I asked you to pretend to be a good person. I'm not going anywhere until the results come out." The Empress' spirit fluctuated instantly.
