Chapter 1056: Chapter 837: Soaring Reputation Chapter 1056: Chapter 837: Soaring Reputation The princess's face flushed red at these words, wanting to make an excuse but not knowing what to say.
Pondering for a moment, she still responded, “I don't know how to disguise myself. I'm not good at these things.”
Wu Heng took out two props and said, “The mask is a Special Item that can mimic the appearance of the Second Prince. The side effect is that it consumes Qi. The pendant is a Magical Prop that can mimic his voice.”
The princess looked up and saw,
it seemed everything was already prepared.
Wu Heng continued, “You are familiar with the Second Prince's habits and tone, so you are the most suitable for role-playing temporarily. It's just to fool the Guard Team; there shouldn't be any major problems.”
The princess nodded, “I am willing to cooperate with you.”
“Try on the mask first,” Wu Heng gave it to her.
The princess took the mask, showing no signs of fear or discomfort, looked at it briefly, and then put it on her head. Her face then contorted, transforming into the likeness of the Second Prince.
The princess asked, “How is it?”
“Very similar. Can't see anything wrong,” Wu Heng commented, and then 'recorded' his voice into the “Vocal Imitation Pendant.”
He handed it back to her, “Try this on.”
The princess put on the pendant, paced back and forth in the room, then looked at the two while standing with one hand behind her back and said aloud, “Necromancy's shadow looms over the lands to the north of the Kingdom. We must unite and repel the enemy to achieve the ultimate victory.”
Wu Heng and Wen Mansha were both taken aback.
She really did look the part, especially the manner.
“Like I said, you're suited for it,” Wu Heng noted.
Wen Mansha smiled and said, “The appearance and presence are quite fitting. It's just your chest and buttocks–might they be a bit too conspicuous?”
Wu Heng also glanced at her figure.
The princess's body visibly tensed, then she said, “There's nothing I can do about that.”
After pondering, Wen Mansha suggested, “I have a bodysuit; try that.”
She asked someone to bring a bodysuit, similar to a corset, meant to be worn underneath the clothes to tightly wrap around the body.
The princess went into the room and put it on, then came back out.
She looked a bit bulky, but it was a significant improvement.
“Pretty good for just dealing with the accompanying Guard Team–should be enough,” said Wu Heng.
“Yes, sir. I will do my best,” the princess repeated, removing the mask and necklace.
Wu Heng continued to instruct her, “Don't lose the mask; it's valuable.”
The princess nodded her head solemnly, “I'll take good care of this Special Item.”
“Go and rest. Don't put too much pressure on yourself,” Wu Heng comforted.
“Then I won't disturb you and the City Lord any longer.”
With that, the princess turned and left.
Only the two of them were left in the room.
Wen Mansha said, “I've prepared some bathwater; let's rest earlier tonight.”
“Let's go.”
Together, they left the room.
Deep into the night, in the bedroom.
Wen Mansha leaned against Wu Heng's chest, her cheeks still flushed, and whispered, “I forgot to ask you, about that little girl who was sent here last time. Should we send her back?”
“Which one?” Wu Heng rested on her shoulder, slipping his hand into her collar to gently play.
“The one you said you rescued from the Chi Feng Gang. I've arranged for her to work at the association,” Wen Mansha reminded him.
Wu Heng immediately recalled this person.
He had rescued a young girl while disguised as the leader of the Chi Feng Gang.
At the time, worried that the news would be leaked, he brought her here.
He clearly remembered that the girl had cursed him as a human traitor and such.
“It depends on her. If she wants to go back, she can; if not, she can continue to stay at the association. It's better than going back to her village,” Wu Heng stated.
Wen Mansha nodded, “I'll mention it to Hartel when the time comes.”
“Mm!”
Wen Mansha looked up at him again, “Master, let's have another son!”
“You're addicted to it, huh? You should recover first,” Wu Heng looked down at her.
Wen Mansha insisted, “I feel quite healthy.”
Wu Heng still advised, “Let's raise our daughter first, and talk about it later.”
“I'm afraid I'll be too old to have children later,” Wen Mansha buried her head in his embrace.
“Just level up.”
“You think everyone is as powerful as master? I might never reach Level 18 in my lifetime.”
Wu Heng hugged her closer, “I will help you. Now that the Second Prince is dead, there'll be a period of peace. Your main task is to increase your level.”
“Yes, as the master commands,” Wen Mansha nestled her head into his chest again.
The two laid back down and slowly fell asleep.
The next day.
After breakfast.
Wu Heng left a few instructions with Wen Mansha and the princess.
Then he headed to the courtyard, “I'm leaving, contact me if there's anything.”
Holding the child, Wen Mansha whispered, “Say goodbye to daddy.”
The child giggled in response.
Wu Heng approached and kissed both the mother and daughter on their faces, saying, “Goodbye, I'll pick you up for a trip to Gold and Silver Island in a few days.”
“Okay!” Wen Mansha said with a smile.
The Princess also curtseyed slightly, “My lord, may the winds be at your back.”
“Mm, if there are matters to discuss with Wen Mansha, the two of you should also get along well,” Wu Heng said.
The two nodded.
Without any delay, Wu Heng donned the Train Captain's Hat, and the Phantom Train appeared before him.
After a wave goodbye, he directly boarded the train.
He vanished from sight.
Wen Mansha and the others had a conversation and then returned to the building.
Human cities.
Outside the elixir sales point, a long queue had formed.
“The fourth batch of elixirs will go on sale imminently, those with numbers please queue orderly, and those without will wait for the fifth batch.”
A hubbub broke out!
The sales point opened, and the queue impatiently pushed forward.
After someone managed to make a purchase,
Mercenaries and others immediately surrounded them, “Brother, share some with me, you have so much in one box.”
“We have already divided it up, go see if the others have any!” the lucky purchasers said before quickly leaving.
The rest immediately asked the next person.
In this city, elixirs had been on sale for two weeks.
Apart from the first day when people were still watching and waiting, the numbers of buyers increased more and more over time, leading to a certain level of chaos.
The City Lord's Mansion and the Patrol Guard took action, demanding sales in batches and also imposing restrictions on the amounts.
In the queue,
The related topics were equally discussed.
“Where exactly is Gold and Silver Island as mentioned in the instructions?”
“It's said to be around the Emerald Sea, that Island Lord Wu Heng is quite impressive.”
“More than impressive, I heard that some of the pens the nobles use were also invented by him.”
“I thought he was an alchemist, turns out he might be a scholar adept in improvements and research.”
“Mm.”
Dwarf cities.
A dwarf clad in scale armor and wearing a horned helmet stood before the Leader of the Dwarf Commerce, “These elixirs are very effective, the Leader has instructed you to hoard a portion.”
The head of the Chamber, with a grave expression, replied, “Gold and Silver Island has appointed a person in charge, and they do not permit stockpiling in large batches.”
“But we're not refusing to pay, what kind of rule is that?”
“My lord, I will discuss it with them, at worst we can increase the amount we purchase, they won't possibly refuse good money.”
“That's acceptable,” the armored dwarf nodded.
“Then I will go negotiate right now.” The Chamber head bowed and turned to leave.
Wood Elves, Elder's Council chamber.
The sunlight filtered through the large stained glass dome, casting mottled light and shadow below.
Several Wood Elf Elders were seated around a huge round table, one of them spoke up, “Fountain pens, watches, Strengthening Potions, and these elixirs, that Little Island Master from Gold and Silver Island, is indeed full of surprises.”
“Certainly, he is someone who excels in creating miracles,” another Elder said, stroking his beard, “Unfortunately, we didn't maintain our relationship with him, we could have gotten more of the Starflowers.”
The issue of Shanaela was being implied in the conversation.
Nobody else joined in the conversation, but the Elder in the chief seat said, “When will Shanaela return?”
“She isn't on Gold and Silver Island, it has been a while since we've got any news from her.”
The chief Elder pondered for a moment then continued, “I propose that we appoint Shanaela as an acting Elder, to see if she is capable in this respect.”
The others raised their eyebrows.
The Elder's Council held the power to influence the development of their entire race.
Appointing her meant more than just easing relations with Gold and Silver Island.
It felt like an intention to bond.
“Let's vote!”
“I agree!”
“I oppose!”
“I agree too, it's just acting, there's no harm in trying.”
“I oppose…”
Out of the five Elders, including the one who proposed the motion, three agreed, and two opposed.
The chief Elder spoke, “Draft the appointment letter, and send it to Elder Shanaela.”
The rest nodded.
On the train.
The senses confirmed that the view outside was chaotic.
Wu Heng sat in his chair, beginning to ponder his subsequent plans.
With the Second Prince's matter resolved, next was his own breakthrough to Level 20.
With a thought, his gaze turned to his reputation value.
[Level: 19 (1987438/3550000)]
[Reputation: 19 (54135/66000)]
Seeing his reputation, Wu Heng's eyes sharpened.
It had increased so much.
