Chapter 1158: Chapter 886, Appointing the Leader Chapter 1158: Chapter 886, Appointing the Leader The Dwarf Leader with fiery red beard asked sternly, “Are you suggesting that I am protecting a Necromancer?”
The Religious Leader stared directly, not believing that the Necromancer was entirely blameless.
But as the most hot-tempered and straightforward 'Dwarf Leader,' he would certainly not cover up for the other party.
Besides, there had been no interactions between them before.
He spoke in a deep voice, “Have you checked thoroughly?”
This made the Dwarf Leader frown, feeling that his capability was being questioned, and he replied sharply, “Wanna fight? Choose any place, the arena or wherever, your call!”
“I'm discussing serious matters with you; did you check thoroughly?” the Religious Leader persisted.
“If you don't trust us, go check Gold and Silver Island yourself.”
“You….”
Previously, he really would have gone to Gold and Silver Island.
But now that the other party has become a hero, and their conflict has escalated to this current state, he really dared not lead a team to investigate.
That lad, always does things unlike normal people.
“Enough!” Sword of Justice 'Hadara' slammed the table hard, silencing the two debating leaders.
There were five leaders in total, and now only three were here, yet they still argued like this.
The two disputants said no more, and Hadara continued, “Discuss the details of the investigation.”
He had already seen the report submitted by the Investigator, which stated that there were no issues with Gold and Silver Island.
But he still wanted to hear what the team leader had to say.
The Dwarf Leader leisurely picked up his tea, took a sip, and then spoke unhurriedly, “After we landed on the island, we immediately inspected the important areas mentioned in the intelligence. The several sites are factories on the island; the necromantic creatures detected are skeletons responsible for production.”
“In the following days, we divided into several teams and conducted a thorough search on the island, finding no suspicious locations.”
Hunters excel in uncovering and exploring.
Locating hidden places is also their utmost expertise among several departments.
Even if some places were concealed or transferred in advance to pass the inspection, Hunters could still find corresponding clues.
Such meticulous inspection didn't reveal anything, proving there's nothing they seek on Gold and Silver Island.
The Dwarf Leader paused briefly, then continued, “When we left, we also searched the surrounding small islands and found nothing, instead we found some mines and chests left by pirates.”
The Religious Leader's eyes narrowed slightly, raising another question, “All those skeletons, how do you explain them?”
The Dwarf Leader responded, “We questioned them using a Special Item, according to what it said, the bodies were purchased from the Snake Badge Consortium.”
“So many?”
“With the financial power of Gold and Silver Island, I don't find it surprising,” said the Dwarf Leader.
The association's Flag-bearer buying bodies from the Snake Badge Consortium indeed isn't something glorious.
If he were still an ordinary professional, even at level 18 or 19, the association could use this as a reason to issue some warnings or penalties.
But now that he's a hero, what was once unreasonable, if done, is just done.
Sword of Justice took over the conversation, “Have you seen Lilith?”
“Yes, her house is nicely decorated,” the Dwarf Leader said, stroking his beard, his words seemingly implying something special.
“What did she say?” Sword of Justice continued.
Lilith, responsible for the Secret Speakers, would have received intelligence about any prior relocation of facilities on the island.
Moreover, before, she had contacted him, mentioning that Wu Heng and the leader of the Snake Badge Consortium had interactions.
“She said there's no issue on the island, and mentioned that Wu Heng is more interested in various weird Mechanical devices rather than Necromancy Magic,” the Dwarf Leader said.
From the various strange Mechanical devices and some modified items, he indeed has more achievements than in Necromancy Magic.
The only proof of his magical prowess is his rapidly advancing level.
The three remained silent for a moment.
Sword of Justice looked at both, asking, “Anything else you want to say about this matter?”
The Religious Leader spoke, “I have a question.”
The other two looked at him.
The Religious Leader continued, “Magic enhancement requires constant experiments and study. The Necromancy Sect is the rarest among Mage sects, and even fewer achieve prominence. His rapid rise to a hero without any hindrance, isn't that suspicious?”
Sword of Justice slowly nodded, “His growth speed is indeed astonishing, do you have any clues?”
The Religious Leader's expression turned even more serious, speaking deliberately, “I have long suspected that he has either reincarnated or his body was stolen.”
“This issue, Lilith has mentioned, we can confirm that he is neither,” Sword of Justice stated plainly.
No problem with that?
The Religious Leader's eyes narrowed again, wanting to speak.
Sword of Justice spoke first, “The association's investigations are based entirely on evidence and records; we can reasonably speculate, but cannot rashly make conclusions based solely on guesses.”
The words of the Religious Leader got stuck in his throat, unsaid.
Now any questions he raised were just based on the other party's abnormal behavior.
No concrete evidence.
“The matter has been investigated thoroughly, let's proceed with the decision as previously discussed. Because of this lad, we have held the leadership meeting over and over, you guys may not be tired but I am,” the Dwarf Leader spoke again.
Sword of Justice looked at the Religious Leader once more, directly saying, “Effective immediately, cancel any investigations into Gold and Silver Island and Wu Heng, and also publicly reveal the leader's identity to the association, increasing the association's external influence.”
