Chapter 1066: Chapter 845, You Don't Want to be Submerged in the Sea Either Chapter 1066: Chapter 845, You Don't Want to be Submerged in the Sea Either “Uh…”
The words suddenly disappeared from his lips.
He hesitated for a moment, “What you are saying makes it seem like you can only be contacted when there's trouble.”
Lilith's tone was inquisitive, “Is there nothing wrong?”
“Uh… not exactly!”
“Hmph!” Lilith's cold snort came from the other end.
Wu Heng felt somewhat embarrassed, holding the microphone in one hand and scratching his head with the other, then he said, “But it's not my fault this time, The Holy Court has gone too far.”
Mentioning The Holy Court, Lilith also seemed to show some interest,
Or rather, she was very willing to hear about the conflict between The Holy Court and a Necromancer.
“Go on!”
Then, Wu Heng recounted the recent events and said very dissatisfied, “They dare not provoke you, so they are taking it out on me by sending a Level 19 Archbishop and so many Level 18 professionals to constantly ring that broken bell in the Church, affecting my patrolling Skeletons.”
After listening, Lilith fell silent.
After a while, she asked, “Did you intimidate the Archbishop and detain that attacking Church Knight?”
Wu Heng had said a lot,
but Lilith's focus was on this.
Wu Heng felt like he had said too much, but he couldn't hide the incident, as The Holy Court had already sent out letters, which would sooner or later reach Lilith and headquarters.
He simply said, “That's pretty much what happened.”
“How did you defeat them?” Lilith asked with interest.
Wu Heng thought for a moment, “I told you last time, I used the 'Companion Yin Jade' to transform into a higher-level Skeleton, which has stronger combat abilities in specific environments and indeed had some advantages at that time.”
To better transform a Level 20 Skeleton without degrading it due to his own lower level,
Wu Heng had consulted Lilith beforehand about this matter.
Lilith, responsible for gathering intelligence from the 'Secret Speaker,' knew quite a bit.
She informed him to use the Companion Yin Jade to amplify the Skeleton transformation.
This indeed allowed him to transform into a Level 20 'Shanshan' without degrading.
“Oh? So, you got yourself a decent Skeleton,” Lilith remembered, seemingly also recalling the event.
The Holy Court's power was inherently suppressive to Necromancy.
The fact that just he alone could hold off an Archbishop and so many Level 18 clergy members
was still surprising and unexpected.
“It's a bit different, I'll show it to you next time you come,” said Wu Heng, then he brought the conversation back around, “That Archbishop wrote several letters to the outside, I'm afraid they will twist the truth…”
Lilith pondered for a moment, then asked, “Who else did you speak to about this?”
“I've written to the local association to inform headquarters, I also plan to write to Claudio, the leader at Hongwen Alliance, and now you know as well,” Wu Heng replied directly.
Lilith said, “We still don't know what The Holy Court is planning, let's wait for news and see how things develop before we make a decision. I'll keep an eye on some things for you.”
“Thanks, leader. What should I do with the detained Church Knight here? Should I transfer him to headquarters?” Wu Heng thanked her, then quickly added.
“Keep him there for now. Bringing him to headquarters might not help; they might just release him early. Just be careful, and don't escalate the conflict until The Holy Court makes their next move,” Lilith instructed again.
“Alright, I'll listen to the leader,” Wu Heng said with a smile.
He originally hadn't planned to truly conflict with The Holy Court.
His main goal was still to reach Level 20.
Once he reached Level 20, and together with a few Zombies he had raised to Level 20,
The threat from the local Church and the entire Church institution would decrease.
“Is there anything else?” continued Lilith.
Wu Heng thought a moment, “Would you want to chat with Xiao Xiao? She often mentions you.”
“Then let's chat for a bit.”
“I'll go call her.” Wu Heng said, walking upstairs and into the study, “Xiao Xiao, come talk to Leader Lilith for a moment.”
“Alright, I've missed Sister Lilith!”
Returning to the radio room,
Wu Heng released the “Divine Presence,” and his Divine Sense left.
Xiao Xiao immediately took possession, sitting in front of the radio, “Sister Lilith, what are you up to?”
“Just got up from resting, I sent you a gift, haven't you received it?” Lilith softened her tone.
Xiao Xiao excitedly said, “There's a gift? What is it?”
“You'll know when you get it. How did your uncle get into a conflict with The Holy Court?” Lilith asked again.
“They bullied us; sister, you must take revenge for us…”
On the street.
Wu Heng had “Divine Presence” a skeleton and followed the Patrol Guard patrolling the streets.
People were coming and going on the road.
Those who saw the patrolling skeleton merely brushed past without any peculiar reactions.
Occasionally, some travelers from off-island might stand at a distance, pointing and showing both curiosity and caution.
Dong!
Loud church bells rang out from the direction of the church.
Clatter!
The patrolling skeleton suddenly stopped in its tracks, its bones trembling incessantly and the Soul Fire flickering wildly under the influence of the bells.
Wu Heng, possessing the skeleton, also felt the intense shaking.
It felt as though it could collapse at any moment.
It seemed this was the bell sound Wei'er had mentioned.
Every time the bells tolled, they affected the skeletons on the island.
The impact varied with level, the higher the level, the lesser the effect.
It seemed that one day he should find a chance to enter the church.
Or perhaps, be more forceful and simply tear down that broken bell or whatever it was.
After two rings, the church bell sound vanished.
The patrolling skeleton returned to normal and resumed patrolling along the road.
Wu Heng walked for a while, looked around, and felt it was about time.
He released the “Divine Presence” state and returned to his own body.
He got up from the table and walked straight out.
Back in the study.
Wu Heng poured himself a cup of tea and sat down on a chair beside him.
“Xiao Xiao, what did you chat about with Lilith?” Wu Heng asked casually.
“Lilith sister said she has sent me a gift, it should be on its way here,” Xiao Xiao said somewhat boastfully.
“What gift is it!” Wu Heng asked curiously.
“I don't know~! She didn't say, just that I would definitely like it and it must be expensive,” Xiao Xiao said, then added, “Next time I'll ask sister to bring a gift for uncle too.”
Wu Heng was taken aback, “You shouldn't ask others for gifts, I'm happy if Xiao Xiao has a gift.”
“Uncle is so nice.” Xiao Xiao flew over and affectionately leaned on his shoulder.
The other two ghosts also slightly tilted their heads and glanced at the two.
Lilith's gift was partly due to her fondness for Xiao Xiao, and partly as a reciprocal gesture.
When leaving earlier, Wu Heng had given elixirs, motorcycles, and some other items.
According to market pricing, it was quite a costly gesture.
The counterpart had spent most of the reciprocation on Xiao Xiao.
Of course, it didn't seem to be a problem, seeing Xiao Xiao so happy made him happy too.
After Xiao Xiao said a couple more things, she flew back off to watch cartoons; Benny was still waiting there during the pause.
Grandaze then brought over the letter she had written, “How's this look?”
Wu Heng took it and glanced over it, feeling there was nothing wrong with the content.
It mainly recounted the Church's activities on the island and mentioned the sudden attack during the meeting in the conference room.
“It's good, I'll take it to the association later and send it off as soon as possible,” Wu Heng said as he sealed the letter and stored it in his Space Ring.
Grandaze then asked, “Did you discuss this matter with Lilith?”
“I did, and she told us not to rush it, to wait and see what approach the Church takes. She'll keep an eye out for us at headquarters,” Wu Heng replied.
“Seems like Lilith treats you quite well, always helping you with issues,” Grandaze remarked.
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, “You should know that I've always been well-liked.”
“You better not provoke her, Lilith can be quite ruthless, don't forget those exiled vampires were imprisoned by her,” Grandaze suddenly turned serious.
“How could I provoke her?” Wu Heng stated outright.
He was always working hard to maintain a good relationship with her.
Now with Xiao Xiao's relationship with her still fine, there was no reason to provoke her.
Grandaze looked meaningfully, “You know what I mean, love can make a woman strike even harder, imagine being sealed in a coffin and sunk to the bottom of the sea, what are you going to do then!”
“Stop it, I'm already starting to get scared.”
