Otherwise, the stewards and vice-executives are not allowed to leave their stationed territories at will.
This is a protocol of the association.
After taking the letter and giving it a glance, Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.
“What does it say?” Xi Ligui asked.
Shi Yali also looked on curiously, waiting for him to speak.
Wu Heng handed the letter to her, “It mentions an incident of an unknown mist, ships entered and disappeared, requesting mobilization of personnel ranked above steward to assist with the investigation.”
Xi Ligui and Shi Yali exchanged glances.
Both somewhat surprised, yet it felt somewhat reasonable.
“So, the location of the mist is confirmed, it's in the 'Holt City' area,” Xi Ligui stated directly.
“Where's Holt?”
“A coastal city in the Celt Kingdom,” replied Xi Ligui.
Celt Kingdom, I know about Lopaz City, where I have dealings with the Snake Badge Consortium, regularly ordering skeletons.
Wu Heng pondered, “Is it close to Lopaz City?”
“Not too far, but there's still some distance,” Xi Ligui answered, then paused in thought before continuing, “For the relief mission, I will take a small team there.”
Shi Yali's eyes hardened, “Let Wu Heng coordinate with nearby stewards!”
The matter of the mist has been causing a stir; local stewards needing to call for reinforcement suggests a certain level of danger.
In her view, her sister indeed works hard, but her current achievements owe much to clinging to Wu Heng's coattails.
In actual combat and handling unexpected dangers, she might not meet the real standards of a steward.
Wu Heng frowned in thought, then said, “Xi Ligui, you stay here and manage. I will handle this matter.”
“Are you going directly? If the Holy Court comes looking…”
Xi Ligui caught herself mid-sentence, glanced carefully towards the door, and lowered her voice, “Wait for the message back from headquarters first!”
“No worries, it won't take many days, and with the Lilith Leader on the island, the Holy Court won't trouble us,” Wu Heng answered with a smile.
The Emerald Sea cannot be seen, and the local association is asking for support.
Clearly, this mist is somewhat unusual.
Moreover, in the intelligence Xi Ligui has, he noticed a detail: the mist has a negative energy effect, causing disorientation and madness.
This made him extra cautious.
His skill, [Breath of Death], turns into a mist when released, causing any creature that stays in it for long to suffer from blood decay and wounds turning septic.
And the mist from the ghost ship seems very much like a Necromancer's ability.
Is there really a ghost ship, or is someone creating this to smear me during headquarters' investigation of Gold and Silver Island?
Wu Heng even suspected it might be an orchestration by the Holy Court.
“Are you sure you want to go?” Shi Yali also looked at him.
Wu Heng nodded, “I'll go take a look.”
“Be careful,” Xi Ligui advised uneasily.
“I am a hero, it will be fine,” Wu Heng nodded with a smile.
The sisters felt relatively assured of his capabilities.
They gave a few more instructions, then left it at that.
“Help me write a letter of assistance, I'll take it with me,” Wu Heng continued.
Shi Yali went back, started writing the letter of assistance, then picked up Xi Ligui's seal and stamped it.
After this matter was discussed.
Xi Ligui then said, “I remember you have a special item that can restore one's sanity, those sailors are still mad.”
The two had previously dealt with the Pirate Village incident together; back then, Wu Heng used a special item to restore the members of the Secret Speakers who were delirious.
Xi Ligui still remembered this item.
“Yes.” Wu Heng pulled out the [Ring Staff] and handed it to her.
Xi Ligui took it and said, “I'll return it in a bit.”
She then walked out immediately.
Wu Heng sat in the study, chatting with Shi Yali.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Xi Ligui returned from outside and handed back the ring staff, “When are you leaving?”
“I'm leaving in a bit, let's keep this matter internal until I return and inform you of the results,” Wu Heng stood up.
“Understood,” Xi Ligui squeezed out a smile and moved forward two steps.
Wu Heng cupped her face and kissed her lips.
Shi Yali also came over, and Wu Heng kissed his sister as well.
“Alright, I'll look for you once I'm back.”
“Be careful.”
Wu Heng nodded and left the study directly.
Returning to the Island Lord's Mansion.
Wu Heng gathered all the women in the house.
He recounted the matter of the ghost ship thoroughly.
After making sure everyone understood, he said, “If the Lilith Leader looks for me, tell her I've gone to respond to the distress call.”
“Alright,” Mini nodded then said, “Master, the mist can trap people, what if you get trapped in it too?”
The others also looked over.
Although Wu Heng was a hero not meant to die, getting really trapped would still be troublesome.
“Can't be, I have a tracking special item, if I really get lost, the item can still point the way out,” Wu Heng explained.
He had thought about this.
He took the [Tracking Necklace] and by using an article of the maid's clothing, it would point to the direction and he could just walk out directly.
Moreover, he didn't believe the mist could trap him.
A hero and level 20 ghosts could control it, and that ship couldn't get out either.
“Oh, then that's good,” Mini nodded.
Once all was explained.
Wu Heng walked to the courtyard, put on the [Train Captain's Hat], and the Phantom Train appeared in front of him.
