The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 686

Chapter 686: Chapter 554, Not a Small Change Chapter 686: Chapter 554, Not a Small Change An auntie with six arms?

Mackintosh?

The six arms are a characteristic of the Bermola tribe, and the only aunt Xiao Xiao could recognize was the leader of the Old Barrel Tavern–Mackintosh.

Did she come over just after receiving the letter I sent her a while ago?

“Let me see!” Wu Heng beckoned.

Xiao Xiao circled above his head for half a turn, then directly dived into his body.

Subsequently, the images were shared into his mind.

The initial perspective was an aerial view of the entire harbor. Under Spirit Vision, every person emanated a different intensity of light, indicating their level.

Soon, Xiao Xiao's gaze settled on a group of people.

The leader was level 15, wearing a hood and draped in a loose cloak, followed by three others who were also close to level 10.

After arriving on the island, this group looked around.

Then they headed to what used to be called the Old Barrel Tavern, now the Golden Sail Tavern.

They entered the tavern and reserved a private room.

They went straight upstairs.

In the secluded room, the few people removed their hoods to reveal their true faces.

When Xiao Xiao recognized their identities,

it immediately flew back to notify me.

“It really is her, she's got some nerve, coming straight to the island,” Wu Heng muttered to himself.

He released Xiao Xiao again, letting it float beside him, “It's her, isn't it? I told you she faked her death to escape. Look, it's just as I said.”

At that time, it was also Xiao Xiao who discovered the person suspected of being 'Mackintosh' leaving the island at night.

Just landed on the island this time, and caught red-handed again.

Xiao Xiao really was fated to catch her.

“Xiao Xiao is really amazing,” Wu Heng followed with a compliment.

Xiao Xiao slightly raised its head, arms crossed, showing off a little proud demeanor.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and greeted Mini.

He took a carriage to the association.

Inside the private room of the Golden Sail Tavern,

Mackintosh sat at the table, using the Prophet's abilities to sense several items.

She then placed each of the items by her side.

Thud, thud~!

The door of the room was knocked on, and three figures quickly entered.

One of them said, “Boss, I've got the news. The Island Master of Gold and Silver Island is Vice-executive Wu Heng. He killed all the pirates in the Emerald Sea with a new kind of device. Now there are no pirates in the Emerald Sea anymore.”

Another one added, “I went to the Black Crow's Nest Tavern, it's much tamer than when we were there. I heard the gang has disbanded, only engaging in regular business and they don't even sell hallucinogens anymore.”

“There are also the road lanterns set up in the Central District, it's as bright as day at night. They say it's a new tool developed by the association and will also be used on Lighthouse Street and in the common residential areas.”

“This Wu Heng… what's his background? It's even more exaggerated than when Imilo was here…”

The few of them took turns speaking, roughly relaying the information they had gathered.

The entire Gold and Silver Island had undergone earth-shaking changes since they had left.

They had only been gone for a few months.

The changes were a bit too drastic.

Mackintosh had heard enough and waved her hand for quiet, then said, “Did you find out about any major events happening recently, or anything about recruitment?”

One of them replied, “I heard that a Necromancer came to the island some time ago. It took several days before they managed to kill him. Seemed to be a high-level professional.”

“The city hall is hiring clerks and Patrol Guards. As long as you are a native on the island, the payment is said to be not low.”

Mackintosh's eyes moved slightly.

It seems like the part about him writing a letter to her to help gather information was true.

“Let's eat first, and then go check out those street lanterns in the Central District tonight to see what effect they have.”

“Alright!”

The three of them agreed in unison and began to eat.

They had just taken a couple of bites

when the door was knocked again.

Their expressions froze, and they immediately became alert.

Mackintosh quickly donned her hood, and one of them opened the door.

The squad captain of the association, 'Cavina', stood at the entrance, scanning the people inside the room, with her gaze finally resting on 'Mackintosh'.

He said, “Mrs. Mackintosh, Island Lord Wu Heng invites you to visit the association.”

In the room, everyone's expression changed at once.

They hadn't expected the other party to have already set their sights on them.

Has Gold and Silver Island's intelligence become so astute?

Then why bring them back at all?

“You all stay at the tavern,” Mackintosh instructed her subordinates, then looked toward the door, “Let's go, I'll accompany you there.”

“This way, please. The carriage is already waiting at the door,” Cavina stepped aside to make way, and Mackintosh walked straight out.

Taking the carriage, they hurried to the association.

In the association's meeting room:

The air conditioning blew cool air, making 'Mackintosh' exclaim, “You really do live quite comfortably here.”

“Just some little gadgets,” Wu Heng poured two cups of tea, handing her one.

“When did you find out I was on the island?” Mackintosh took the cup and set it on the table.

“The moment you disembarked the ship.”

Mackintosh looked at him intently, “The letter I received, you wrote that?”

“Hmm, isn't the name written on it?”

Mackintosh asked, puzzled, “Your intelligence gathering is so strong, so why ask me to come back? Is this some kind of joke?”

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, not expecting the other party to raise this issue first.

Xiao Xiao had discovered her today, which was a special circumstance.

But they couldn't always be watching from the harbor.

Moreover, not all enemies could be identified by their level.

“Different methods. Have you thought it over? Do you want to come back and help me?” Wu Heng asked directly.

“What do I need to do? What will I get?” Mackintosh was exceptionally calm, speaking as if in a gang negotiation.

She didn't show any fear of the young island master.

Wu Heng said, “What you need to do is to help me collect intelligence on the island and deal with some dangerous matters. In return, aside from a place to stay and protection, I can offer you an identity–not as a gang leader, but as a key official on Gold and Silver Island.”

“Do you trust me?” Mackintosh countered.

What she could gain and what she would have to give up were things she had already considered before coming to the island.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought her people with her.

“I will sign a Slavery Contract with you,” Wu Heng stated.

Mackintosh's eyes narrowed instantly, her tone slightly mocking, “Lord Wu Heng speaks so grandly, a few words exchanged and you want me to sign a Life Contract? Or is it that you just wanted to insult me by asking me back here?”

“I have some secrets that require more trustworthy subordinates.”

Mackintosh glanced quickly at the skeleton attendant behind him and countered, “What if I don't agree?”

“That's alright, too. Seeing you still alive, as a friend, I'm quite happy,” Wu Heng smiled.

“I find you somewhat incomprehensible. What exactly do you mean?” Mackintosh eyed him, realizing he genuinely had no intention of detaining her. She said, “I'll consider it. Regardless of whether I agree or not, I'll let you know when the time comes, just hoping you won't make things difficult for us then.”

The refusal seemed more likely, judging from her tone.

“Stay on the island for a few days, see how things have changed. It's good too.”

“Fine, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave now,” she said.

Mackintosh rose, wrapped herself up tightly again, and walked out the door.

Without waiting for Wu Heng to get up.

The door opened again, and Xi Ligui peeked in, “Was that woman just now a female?”

“How do you know she was a woman?” Wu Heng asked.

“You can tell by the way she walks. What were you doing in the meeting room?” she asked, puzzled, looking at him.

This was an awkward question.

It felt like a scandal had been uncovered.

Wu Heng replied, “That was Mackintosh, didn't you recognize her?”

“Mackintosh? She's back? What for?” Xi Ligui walked in and shut the meeting room door.

“I want her to join Gold and Silver Island and continue gathering intelligence for us,” Wu Heng stated plainly.

Xi Ligui frowned, “Because of that Necromancer from Heaven Destiny Cult?”

“Yes, when Mackintosh was on the island, the intelligence work on Gold and Silver Island was done quite well. If she could come back and help us, it would be easier to detect any dangerous people coming onto the island,” Wu Heng shared his thoughts.

Actually, he didn't need to explain this to Xi Ligui.

But both were responsible for the security of Gold and Silver Island, and many battles. The association's teams were more combat-ready.

Clarifying with her directly was also better.

Xi Ligui sat down beside him, pondering for a while, her concerns evident, “She has considerable connections with pirates. Aren't you afraid she'll leak our intelligence?”
