Chapter 1086: Original text: Chapter 857, I Have Money Now (One more update today.) Chapter 1086: Original text: Chapter 857, I Have Money Now (One more update today.) Mid-autumn, over half a month had passed since the second release of the medicine tablets.
The Chamber of Commerce responsible for transportation had successively delivered the goods to their respective sales locations.
Long queues formed in front of the sale points, from various countries and races, people buying the medicine tablets while discussing the news about them.
“It's written here, the one who modified the elixir into tablets is an island master, and not even an alchemist.”
“Gold and Silver Island Master? I've never heard of this island.”
“The fashionable pens and watches previously popular among the nobles were also his inventions.”
“It also states his reason for the modification was to help those ordinary professionals who don't have a Space Ring.”
“Forget it, it's just self-promotion, and you all believe it. Just from the name of that island, you can tell he's a person driven by profit.”
“I think it's pretty good, the tablets are easier to carry, and the price has also dropped, it's a good thing for us.”
“I think this island master is a good man, at least much better than other merchants.”
People were used to hearing promotions from significant figures, but this time was different.
Holding the medicine tablets in hand, they were indeed as convenient to carry as advertised, and the price had dropped substantially.
Just buying one box was enough for family use for a very long time.
Whether he's a good person is debatable, but those who bought the medicine tablets truly felt the benefits.
This wasn't mere empty propaganda.
Meanwhile, in the original territory of the Second Prince of the Yeko Kingdom,
Officials of Lundham City began stepping into the management layer, and the Skeleton Army took over the stationed and primary defensive positions.
Over time, people began getting used to the skeletons, no longer feeling the initial fright.
On the streets, a Bard stood atop a wooden box, holding a book of the Great Detective, loudly reciting the stories within.
The crowd below whispered their guesses about the murderer.
Some also debated whether Wu Heng and Watson had really solved the cases mentioned in the stories.
Gold and Silver Island, Island Lord's Mansion.
Wu Heng was reclining on a lounge chair, watching his stats.
[Level: 19 (4257534/355000)]
[Prestige: 19 (64733/66000)]
Over the past few days, his prestige had rapidly increased.
Jumping from over fifty thousand to sixty-five thousand.
It was clear, without needing to guess, that the second batch of medicine tablets had been distributed and begun selling.
The initial surge was intense, but now it began to slow down.
“I wonder if I can reach level 20 before The Holy Court gets here,” murmured Wu Heng.
At that moment, Glenda and Bella flew back in.
“The Church has increased the frequency of bell ringing, and patrolling skeletons now have to detour around the Church,” Bella said somberly.
Glenda added, “They must have received correspondence from The Holy Court, feeling more confident now.”
The Church had indeed been subdued after a beating by the skeletons, Shanshan.
The sudden increase in bell ringing today was certainly due to news from The Holy Court's Investigation Team, boosting their spirits again.
“No worries, I'll handle it shortly,” said Wu Heng.
Glenda continued, “Butting heads with The Holy Court is also affecting Gold and Silver Island, practically no chamber representatives visit, and even the number of tourists visiting the island has dropped.”
In the past, the Island Lord's Mansion would often receive visitors.
Whether dignitaries or rich merchants, representatives would always make a point to visit the Island Lord's Mansion upon arriving on the island.
Since the conflict with The Holy Court escalated, such visits had ceased.
Wu Heng wasn't surprised, mentioning, “Everyone is afraid of drawing The Holy Court's attention. No one wants to deal with this trouble.”
“I really find the people from The Holy Court annoying now,” mumbled Bella.
Glenda chuckled, “If you hadn't met Wu Heng earlier, you'd be making enemies with The Holy Court by now.”
Wu Heng gave her a look, sensing an imminent slander.
He then said, “Once the issue with The Holy Court is resolved, everything will return to normal, no need to worry.”
“Yeah, mainly for you, we have enough money not to rush,” Glenda said soothingly, unusually gentle.
Bella added, “You will surpass them sooner or later.”
Wu Heng nodded, “Rest assured.”
Seeing no new developments from the two souls, Wu Heng got up and headed towards the living room.
He picked up the telephone and dialed the association's number.
After two rings, Xi Ligui's voice came through, “Hello!”
“It's me.” Wu Heng continued, “Tell Xi Ligui to send someone to the Church, and let them know if they keep ringing that broken bell, I'll just have it dismantled.”
“Okay, I'll coordinate,” said Xi Ligui promptly.
Hanging up, both ghosts gave a thumbs up, “Showing some spirit today.”
Another day passed.
It had been over half a month since the island master had arrested the clergy of The Holy Court.
Neither the Island Lord's Mansion nor the association had issued any complete public announcement regarding how to charge The Holy Court.
Of course, the local residents weren't surprised; conflicts between high-level clergy from The Holy Court and ordinary residents resulting in the Guard Team arresting both parties was already unusual.
Under normal circumstances elsewhere, those clerics would have been released long ago, without any need for investigations.
However, this morning, some special pieces of news began to circulate.
Rapidly spreading.
“Have you heard? They've found a Necromancer's experimentation base on the island, and it's quite large.”
“Everyone's talking about this, unsure where it originated, claiming it's related to the island master, secretly buying people for experiments.”
“Could it be that Wu Heng is secretly treating the small island as an experimentation base? No wonder The Holy Court is targeting him.”
“It's definitely fake. The elixir auction was held on the island, with the Chamber of Commerce leader and high-level professionals from different places present. If you were a Necromancer, would you build an experimentation base and invite people to visit?”
