Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040: Chapter 827, Originally a Test Subject Chapter 1040: Chapter 827, Originally a Test Subject Indeed!

Just as Princess Natalia had said, a brief interaction might go unnoticed.

But impersonating the Second Prince over a long term would not be easy.

Early this morning, the duo had come looking for him.

Their words were direct probes.

Wu Heng, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, smiled and replied, “Of course I remember. The instructor 'Zigmund' taught us. I never liked those lessons and was slow to learn, so you found me a helper to secretly practice and pass his test.”

The manager minister, Edwin, nodded slightly, the first question had matched.

He did not wait for him to continue asking.

Wu Heng sighed again, trying to steer the conversation back to the current situation, “I should have worked harder earlier; that might have improved the current situation.”

“Everyone's growth circumstances vary, Your Highness. You bear the heavy responsibility of restoring the nation; you need not dwell on this.” The manager minister consoled him, then threw another question, “Do you remember the squirrel we encountered in the courtyard during one of our walks? You even gave it a name, what was it called?”

“Zoe, it ran away later, and I searched for a long time but never found it,” answered Wu Heng softly.

With these questions, the manager minister understood.

He resumed his seat, glancing at the Commander next to him and slightly nodded.

His questions, all from years past, could be easily recounted.

It proved that there was nothing wrong with the prince in question.

The probing came to an end.

Only then did the Commander speak seriously, “Please explain in detail about the incident in Nilar City, who exactly attacked there?”

Bringing up the matter again, Wu Heng also felt a slight sense of relief.

It seemed that he had passed their test.

He had read the diary last night and listened to the Princess for half the night.

He remembered most of the events.

But he was also afraid that they might ask something he didn't know.

Wu Heng, resting his forehead on his hand and looking bitter, said, “Di Taliao, he colluded with the Evil Cult and arranged for multiple level 18 professionals to attack Nilar City.”

The two ministers looked at each other.

It was indeed someone from the Crown Prince's faction.

The Commander asked, “What was the situation like at that time?”

Last night, he had arranged for soldiers to head to Nilar City overnight.

But getting a detailed reply would still take a few days.

They could only preliminarily understand the situation by inquiring.

“I only know there were four assassins; somehow they found where I lived. The scene was quite chaotic, and I escaped with the help of my trusted aides,” Wu Heng finished, sighing again.

It seemed he was recalling a somewhat embarrassing incident.

“What are your plans, Your Highness?” the Commander asked again.

Wu Heng took a deep breath and slowly said, “We must keep my presence here a secret to prevent any assassins from posing a threat. Let's wait until the detailed reports from Nilar City arrive, then we can discuss further plans.”

“Very well, Your Highness, I will strengthen the city's defenses and wait for the message to come through before making further plans,” the Commander said solemnly.

Wu Heng nodded, acknowledging the understanding.

At this point, Glenda slowly stood up.

She was still possessing the body of the old man from the Secret Cultivation Hall, wrapped tightly, but her skin already showed severe signs of aging.

She first bowed and then said, “Your Highness, please allow me to leave for a while to bring in more funds.”

Without waiting for Wu Heng to speak.

The manager minister below preemptively said, “Leaving at this time might attract some attention.”

His indirect way of speaking was out of concern that the Second Prince's information here might be leaked.

“I have my methods to ensure the enemy won't lay a trap,” Glenda said indifferently.

Both ministers looked towards Wu Heng, waiting for him to make arrangements.

Wu Heng said, “If you're confident, then pick a time to leave without drawing others' attention.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Glenda nodded and then sat back down.

The discussion was complete.

They sat down again and casually chatted a little.

The two ministers then got up, bowed, and left.

Wu Heng still sat in the chair for a while.

Then Bella flew back in from outside.

She said, “No problem, they took the carriage back to their residences, and during the conversation, they also said there was no issue with you.”

Glenda remarked, “It's also a life saved for them.”

“Exactly,” Xiao Xiao agreed.

Wu Heng loosened his collar and added, “It's best they believe; it saves us the trouble. Glenda, you can leave the city now and handle this body properly.”

“Hmm,” Glenda got up, left her things behind, and walked straight out.

Glenda left.

Wu Heng also rose and walked towards the rear.

Upon returning to the Princess Mansion, he entered the building and saw the Princess waiting in the living room, with several maids bustling around her.

“Your Highness!” the Princess stood up to greet him.

“Mmm,” Wu Heng nodded.

The Princess turned to those beside her and said, “You may leave now; do not enter unless there is something important.”

“Yes!” the maids responded and all left.

Then, the Princess came over to help him take off his coat and quietly asked, “Was everything smooth, sir?”

“The Managing Minister indeed asked two questions, but there was no problem, and I answered them all,” Wu Heng said as he took a seat.

“The efforts from last night must have been helpful for you,” the Princess remained standing across from him.

Having said that, she suddenly felt the implication of her words could be misinterpreted, her cheeks reddening slightly.

Wu Heng spoke, “Thanks to those materials, there might be a few things that need attention later. Think carefully if anything was missed, and tell me when the time comes.”

“Yes, sir,” the Princess nodded.

Wu Heng rose again and said, “I am going back to the study. If someone comes looking for me, tell them I am resting because I am tired; I will come back for dinner.”

“Yes!” the Princess bowed in response.

Wu Heng went upstairs into the study.

After sitting at the desk for a while, Glenda returned in the form of a ghost.

She stretched midair and sighed, “Being a ghost is really better; that body was too weak.”

Hearing this, Wu Heng sensed a disdain for living beings.

He asked, “How was the corpse handled?”

“Shortly after leaving the city, we encountered a pack of wolves, and I fed them willingly. By now, even the bones have probably turned into chew toys,” Glenda explained.

Xiao Xiao shivered beside them, “Auntie's words are frightening.”

Glenda smiled, “The wolves were also stunned. I guess it was their first time seeing a human willingly walk over and lie down to die.”

“Very picturesque,” Wu Heng commented.

Xiao Xiao and Bella nodded in agreement.

“What next?” Glenda continued.

“I asked the Princess to notify me if there's any issue; for now, let's head to the Zombie World.”

The Three Ghosts directly entered a body.

Wu Heng opened the boundary door next to him and walked through.

On the other side was the surveillance room of the prison.

A skeleton sat in front of the monitors, its hollow eye sockets steadfastly gazing at the screens.

Wu Heng first released the Three Ghosts.

Then he walked to the skeleton's side, put a hand on its shoulder, and said, “Bring up the surveillance for cells 202, 203, and 204.”

The three surveillance feeds were enlarged, showing the restless zombies clearly.

Although their bodies hadn't changed significantly, the wings on their backs had grown to about 20 centimeters and could be clearly seen flapping occasionally on the monitors, stirring up dust around.

“It doesn't seem like there's much change!” Xiao Xiao's face was pressed against the screen.

“Don't get so close; it's bad for your eyes.”

“Uncle, are you trying to lecture me on purpose?”

Wu Heng smiled and said, “Let's go. We'll also lock up those we caught yesterday.”

Exiting the surveillance room, they headed directly to the cell area.

Along the way, they saw an Alchemy Skeleton pushing a cart.

“Follow me,” Wu Heng told the Alchemy Skeleton.

The skeleton turned the cart around and followed them into the corridor of the cells.

The Mansion Skill opened, revealing the Skeleton Army inside, dressed in standard Yeko Kingdom armor and carrying long swords, all turning their heads to look at them.

Inside were five cages.

Enclosed were five level 18 professionals, still weak.

“Bring them out,” Wu Heng ordered the skeletons.

Clatter, clatter!

The skeletons inside began to move, dragging out all five people.

The five were pulled from the Mansion Skill, anxiously assessing their surroundings.

Seeing skeletons all around and hearing the roars of beasts from the solitary cells,

Their expressions changed again.

The Necromancer's experimental base.

Definitely a place where the necromancers experimented with Necromancy Magic.

Damn it, he wants to use themselves as test subjects.
