Chapter 1055: Chapter 836, Stay and Disguise Chapter 1055: Chapter 836, Stay and Disguise Wu Heng walked forward, looked back, and saw the princess still standing there, looking around.
He called out, “Natalia, let's eat first. After that, I'll arrange someone to show you around the city.”
“Oh!” the Princess quickened her pace to catch up and then asked, “Sir, is this Lundham City?”
“Yes, do you feel any difference from your place?” Wu Heng asked.
The Princess took a deep breath and said, “The taste of freedom.”
“You can take in more of it when we go out onto the streets, and you'll even smell the sweaty stench of the beastmen.”
The Princess was taken aback. “Are Beastmen smelly?”
Wu Heng shrugged and didn't answer, and the Princess continued to follow him into the hall.
The hall of the City Lord's Mansion was still luxurious, filled with glamorous decorations and art pieces designed by top craftsmen.
These were gifts from the wealthy and noble of various races from Gold and Silver Island.
As for Lord Wen Mansha, Wu Heng also tended to favor her in various aspects.
Wen Mansha went to meet the summoned officials.
Wu Heng, in the meantime, arranged for maids and guards for the Princess, taking her around the city.
Before leaving, the Princess's face was lit up with the excitement of a little girl going to an amusement park, genuinely looking forward to seeing what Lundham City was like outside.
Wu Heng himself went upstairs and looked at the child being lulled to sleep by the Skeleton Ghost Hag.
Then, he passed through his study and headed towards Zombie World.
He stepped beyond the boundary door.
The opposite side was still the surveillance room of the prison.
He released the Three Ghosts and looked around.
Xiao Xiao said, “Back, huh!”
“How long has it been…” Glenda also asked.
Wu Heng replied, “I came directly after returning to Lundham City to check how much the zombies have leveled up.”
“Alrighty!” Xiao Xiao exclaimed and flew out with Beini.
Wu Heng walked straight to the surveillance spot and patted the skeleton watching the monitors, “Pull up the footage of cells 202 to 209.”
The skeleton immediately opened the monitors on two screens.
Wu Heng and Glenda watched the footage carefully.
Cells 202, 203, 204's zombies had completely grown beetle-like carapaces and wings.
And the zombie in cell 203 occasionally turned towards the camera in a manner that revealed a second pair of eyes grown in the brow ridge area.
“Indeed, these are newly grown eyes,” Glenda said.
Previously, in records kept by the Skeleton Alchemy Warlock, it had been written that they had become fully formed eyes over time.
“The direction of evolution might be related to their original profession,” Wu Heng said.
203 was originally the Intelligence Minister for the Second Prince.
Beini, while observing him, suspected he was a thief because his weapon was a dagger.
But his actual profession was a Sentinel, characterized by observing and defending.
Some rustling movements would catch the profession's attention, and their crossbow arrows were extremely accurate.
“What use is having multiple eyes?” Glenda asked.
“Better vision, maybe!”
“What about turning into a skeleton?”
“That might not be very useful,” Wu Heng thought, feeling it wasn't of much use.
Then, they continued watching the remaining cells.
The zombies in every room were restless, pacing back and forth, occasionally trying to break free from their chains, and roaring into the air.
The wings on their backs were more pronounced, nearly covering half of their backs.
Soon after, Xiao Xiao and Beini returned.
Xiao Xiao said, “Uncle, all the zombies have reached level 19, but none reached level 20.”
Previously, some zombies hadn't reached level 19.
Over time, they had all managed to reach level 19.
“Don't worry, they'll get there eventually,” Wu Heng spoke.
“They're too stupid; even being zombies is too much for them,” Xiao Xiao muttered.
Beini added, “These zombies have grown wings now. Next batch, should we see what type of zombies another kind of Zombie King can produce?”
Currently, two types of Zombie Kings had been discovered.
One was a mutation type, like a rhinoceros beetle, with horns on the head and wings on the back.
The second type was a suit-wearing Zombie King, with no significant bodily changes other than a head that bloomed like layered mushroom caps.
“I think wings are more useful, but next time we catch another type of Zombie King, we could keep some of the virus for experiments,” Wu Heng said.
“Let's try it. After all, there are so many professionals,” Beini said.
Xiao Xiao chimed in, “Hey~! Sister Beini is becoming more like a big demon.”
“Foolish child, surrender to me…”
“Down with the female demon!” Xiao Xiao exclaimed, giggling, and flew off into the distance.
Beini followed, chasing after her.
Glenda glanced at the chasing ghosts, stretched out a hand, and summoned a book, which flew out and began reading.
Wu Heng sat in the chair of the surveillance room, picked up the satellite phone, and dialed Li Yahong's number.
After two rings, the call connected.
After a brief inquiry about the situation,
Wu Heng continued to ask, “Have you found a place where we can eliminate zombies?”
“I found one, a village nearby, shall I pick you up tomorrow?” Li Yahong asked.
Wu Heng quickly thought about his plans.
He replied, “In a couple of days, I am busy for the next few days.”
Tomorrow, he needed to return to Gold and Silver Island and the task of clearing zombies had to be postponed.
“That's fine, the zombies won't escape anyway.”
“Then I'll call you when it's time.”
“Okay.”
After a few more words, Wu Heng hung up the phone.
He stood up, glanced at the Three Ghosts, and said, “Stop messing around, we need to go back.”
The Three Ghosts flew directly towards him and merged into his body.
Wu Heng then reopened the boundary door and returned to Lundham City.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Upon his return, Wu Heng released the ghosts.
The Three Ghosts discussed briefly and then went downstairs to check on the children.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door followed by Wen Mansha's voice, “Master, are you in the room?”
“Come in.”
The door opened and Wen Mansha, wearing a blue home long dress, walked in, “Master, I've found an item that can change your voice.”
In Wu Heng's plan, he wanted the Princess to stay and continue impersonating the Second Prince for a while.
Looks could be managed with the “Faceless One's Skin,” but the difference in a woman's voice was too significant, making it hard to mimic a man's voice even with high attributes.
“Where did you collect it from?” Wu Heng was somewhat surprised.
He had just returned, and she already found the prop?
Wen Mansha came over and sat in his lap, saying, “From the Snake Badge Consortium, I had someone go there first. After all, the Snake Badge Consortium is good at keeping secrets. I didn't expect them to directly provide us with this item.”
“From the Snake Badge Consortium, I asked if they had any similar item and they just brought this out.”
“This is also a bit too fast.” Wu Heng wrapped his arms around her waist.
Wen Mansha shifted her eyes, lowering her voice a bit, “This involves another piece of minor news. Many items and funds have been transported to Lundham City for storage.”
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, understanding her implication.
The Snake Badge Consortium had withdrawn from Yeko Kingdom, bringing out all the funds, items, and customer-stored goods from various places.
Where did all these things go?
And just a few days ago, 'Dragon', the leader of the Snake Badge Consortium appeared.
That was enough proof that the Snake Badge Consortium had moved all the items from Yeko Kingdom to Lundham City.
Wen Mansha, who was proficient in intelligence work in Lundham City, captured some related information.
“Where's the item? Let me see.”
Wen Mansha reached out her hand, and a pendant appeared, gently swaying in her grip.
[Voice Mimicking Pendant (Magical Prop)]
(Description: A magic pendant engraved with 'Voice Storage Spell', can record the voice on first use, and the wearer will speak with the same voice and tone.)
A magical prop.
Not a special item, but an item engraved with magical runes.
That is, these kinds of items could also be purchased in some prop shops.
The effect was quite simple, merely “recording” a voice, and when the next person used it, they could start speaking with the same voice and tone.
It was a simple and effective magic.
In this world, the development of magic was akin to technology in the modern world.
It covered various fields.
“Master, guess how much?”
Wu Heng thought for a moment, “It shouldn't be too expensive, around 100 silver?”
Wen Mansha smiled, “It was given for free, and they even said someone had instructed them to provide as much help as possible to me and that I could approach them for anything in the future.”
“Was it Dragon who instructed them?”
“I feel so, it seems that the previous gift was not in vain,” Wen Mansha said with a smile.
“Maintaining a good relationship with them has its benefits,” Wu Heng commented, then asked, “Has Natalia returned?”
“She has returned. I've arranged a room for her, and tomorrow we will find a building to serve as the Prince Mansion,” Wen Mansha replied.
Wu Heng patted her buttocks, “Have her come here to discuss the matter of impersonating the prince.”
Wen Mansha stood up and spoke a few words to the maid at the door.
Soon, the Princess, dressed in a home long dress, also walked in.
“Sir, Lord Wen Mansha,” the Princess greeted with a slight bow.
Wu Heng motioned for her to sit down and then said, “I can't stay here for long, so I plan to have you continue impersonating the Second Prince for a while.”
The Princess's expression stiffened and her eyes flickered for a long while before she cautiously said, “Sir, you said you wouldn't keep me locked up!”
Wu Heng said with a smile, “It's not about locking you up forcibly; just impersonate the Second Prince when needed, and you're free to go shopping or have fun as usual, no one will mind.”
Wen Mansha, however, had a stern face and sternly reminded, “Right now you're just a slave under the master, he's lenient with you but you also need to recognize the reality.”
