Chapter 744: Chapter 602, Having a Guide Will Be Faster Chapter 744: Chapter 602, Having a Guide Will Be Faster Indeed, a level 18 mage arriving on the island had some connection with himself.
And he was a member of their own headquarters.
It probably wasn't related to the incident with Lu An.
Since he had sent the newspapers over, it was unlikely they would be seeking revenge so swiftly.
“Prepare lunch first, and then we'll go,” Wu Heng said.
“What would you like to eat, sir?” Mini asked with a smile.
“Seafood noodles, keep it simple.”
“Okay!” Mini nodded and quickly headed towards the kitchen.
Association, dormitory.
The door opened, and a robust attendant, holding several newspapers, came in and handed them to 'Virgil,' who was wearing a robe.
“The city hall does sell recent issues of the newspaper–it's not too much of a hassle.”
Virgil nodded, picked up the newspapers, and looked over each one.
“It doesn't say whether this street lamp is mechanical or a prop.”
“It's not mentioned, but I believe it's a prop. If you stand underneath it, you can see something glowing inside the glass cover; the rest is just an iron pole,” the attendant replied.
After arriving on the island, they initially thought the newspaper was the most surprising thing.
But then, at night, bright white light shone through the window.
After leaving the association.
They saw the entire Central District brightly lit.
Under the lights, a large number of residents gathered to enjoy the cool of the night, and vendors were selling goods.
It was even busier than during the day.
This made all three of them widen their eyes.
They also realized that the iron poles erected during the day were not for hanging flags.
The headquarters of the association was nothing more than this.
But that was a place where heroes gathered.
And here? It was a small island at sea.
An island seized from pirates.
At dawn, they sent people out to inquire about the situation and buy newspapers.
But they still couldn't confirm if it was indeed a prop.
Virgil put away the newspapers and said, “Hasn't he come back yet?”
“No news yet, I'll send someone to hurry him up.”
“No rush,” Virgil pondered for a moment and continued, “Go and ask Xi Ligui, besides Imilo, does he have contact with anyone else?”
The attendant was perplexed, “Do you want to take him as your apprentice?”
“The professions differ greatly, just go and ask.”
Association.
After lunch, Wu Heng arrived at the association.
With a quick stride, he swiftly entered the Steward's Office.
Xi Ligui furrowed her brows, “What are you doing?”
“Is there an 18th level professional looking for me?” Wu Heng asked cautiously.
Xi Ligui laughed at his demeanor, “Haven't you defeated an 18th level professional before? Why are you so nervous?”
“I'm not nervous, just don't know what he wants. Do you know what he's looking for?” Wu Heng asked.
Xi Ligui closed the documents on her desk and said, “Virgil, a prophecy series mage, has come here seemingly to invite you to join the Hongwen Alliance.”
A prophecy series mage?
This faction was rare and not highly combative.
Its vocational traits leaned towards reconnaissance, forecasting, and detecting spells.
When speaking with him, one still needed to be cautious and ensure nothing went wrong.
“He came all the way to the island to invite me? Am I that famous?” Wu Heng wondered.
He had heard of the Hongwen Alliance before.
So much time had passed, and he had not been merely idling his days away.
The Hongwen Alliance mostly consisted of mages, bards, and other professions, and to Wu Heng, it seemed to be a gathering place for intellectuals.
“Take a look at this first,” Xi Ligui handed over a letter, “Miss Moya wrote this to me, she mentioned you in it too. Right after 'Virgil' arrived yesterday, I think the Hongwen Alliance's invitation to you might also be related to your defeating Lu An.”
Moya's letter.
Wu Heng took it, the envelope already opened.
He took out the letter and began to read it.
The first part contained some routine inquiries addressed to Xi Ligui.
The latter part read, “Wu Heng's letter was received by Lord Yimiro, who has issued a challenge to 'Mo Fa Te,' who has been too disturbed to accept.”
“Mo Fa Te and his disciples are narrow-minded, and the newspapers on Gold and Silver Island have spread in our headquarters. Be wary of underhanded tactics and write back if there's an issue.”
After reading, Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.
Yimiro had also issued a challenge at headquarters, wanting to beat up Mo Fa Te.
Actually, it made sense.
If Lu An could challenge Wu Heng, Yimiro could also challenge Mo Fa Te.
But clearly, Yimiro was stronger, as Mo Fa Te didn't even dare to accept the challenge.
Moya also mentioned being wary of underhanded tactics.
This was suspecting that the other party might want to harm oneself.
“Keep the letter with me for now, I'll publish this news in a new newspaper in a couple of days,” Wu Heng said.
Xi Ligui responded, “Aren't you worried at all about the dangers mentioned above?”
“What's there to worry about? If I trip while going out, I'll just write to Administrator Yimiro and tell him I was assassinatd and let him handle Mo Fa Te.”
“You… impressive,” Xi Ligui managed to say only those two words.
Shi Yali continued to watch the two chat with a cheerful smile.
Wu Heng put away the letter and then said, “That is to say, by making a name for myself at headquarters, the Hongwen Alliance thinks I defeated Lu An and have potential, inviting me to join.”
Xi Ligui nodded, “I think so too.”
“Then you tell me, should I join?”
Xi Ligui looked at him quizzically, “You're asking me? What do you think?”
“You know more, help me think this through.”
“The Hongwen Alliance has very high standards, and only those who are recognized are invited to join. I think joining would be beneficial for you,” explained Xi Ligui.
This was not far off from what Wu Heng had thought.
He felt that joining would do him no harm; he would meet more mages and potentially acquire more spell books.
“Then I'll take your advice.”
“You already decided, didn't you? Blaming me,” Xi Ligui shot him a glance, then stood up and said, “Let's go. We should head to the meeting room and wait for 'Virgil' to come.”
Wu Heng also stood up, said goodbye to Shi Yali, and left the office.
In the meeting room.
After a short wait, the door was pushed open.
A ruddy-faced mage in a long robe, accompanied by two attendants, walked in.
Xi Ligui introduced, “This is Mr. Virgil, coming from headquarters.”
Then he introduced Wu Heng, “Wu Heng, Island Master of Gold and Silver Island.”
The three opposite looked curiously at Wu Heng, sizing him up.
The newspapers sent to the association had his photo, indeed identical.
“Mr. Virgil,” Wu Heng greeted with a smile.
“Island Lord Wu Heng,” the veteran mage also showed a smile.
After both sat down.
Virgil continued, “I have heard about Island Lord Wu Heng's deeds at headquarters, a young and promising man.”
Wu Heng replied with a smile, “Mr. Virgil is too kind. I am merely emulating the hero's deeds and doing my job well.”
“Haha! Well said,” Virgil stroked his beard and assessed him once more from top to bottom.
He then said, “You are very talented, yet you switched professions rather late.”
“Having a mentor to guide you could smooth your path ahead.”
“Reaching level 18 within three years.”
