The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 803

Chapter 803: Chapter 651, Great Value for Money Chapter 803: Chapter 651, Great Value for Money The sudden incident caught everyone off guard.

The appearance of black and purple veins and the painful expression clearly indicated poisoning.

To affect a professional to this extent, the poison must be no ordinary toxin.

Everyone was shocked, and some were relieved they hadn't spent a fortune on such an item.

“I told you there was something wrong with the elixir.”

“Exactly, how could that youngster possibly have developed such an elixir?”

“The certificates from the association and the consortium are probably fake too.”

“What are you all looking at? Hurry up and save him! If it spreads throughout his body, he won't be recoverable.”

The scene was complete chaos.

Some urged for immediate rescue, while others shouted to take their complaints to the Island Lord's Mansion.

With the entire island here, there was no fear of the other party escaping.

Amidst the urging, an alchemist who had been waiting on the side stepped forward to examine the situation.

However, the steward next to him extended a hand to stop the approaching people, “Wait a bit longer.”

The crowd frowned, puzzled as they looked towards him.

“Wait for what? If we wait any longer, he will be gone.”

“How dare you obstruct the rescue!”

The old man's old friend shouted angrily at him.

The steward bowed and explained, “Please wait, everyone. During the transaction at the auction, it was mentioned beforehand that the elixir has side effects. Just endure through it, and try not to use any other medicines during the process to avoid diluting the effect.”

Side effects?

Diluting the effect?

With such a strong reaction, are you sure it won't kill the person outright?

While everyone doubted whether this was true or false,

the veins on the old man's body gradually receded, and his trembling body also stopped.

Under watch, all the adverse symptoms gradually disappeared.

He was helped to sit on a chair.

At this moment, as people observed the old man again, they noticed some differences.

His physical condition had improved significantly, even the dense wrinkles on his face had lessened, making him look several years younger.

Someone eagerly asked, “How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?”

The old man twisted his neck, and while everyone watched expectantly, he leisurely picked up his teacup and took a sip.

“Damn it, stop drinking water and talk.”

“If you want to drink, I have some tea leaves I could bring you, but first, tell us how you feel.”

“Did the elixir work?”

As the crowd began to press for answers, the old man spoke with a light smile, “I can only say, it was worth more than it cost.”

Wow~!

The rest of them boiled over again.

It really worked.

“I have other matters, I'll head back first.”

“I'll go back too, we'll reschedule and then come to congratulate Mr. Otma.”

The guests present left one after another.

Word of the elixir's proven effectiveness spread.

…

Similar scenes unfolded in several other mansions.

Under the gaze of a room full of wealthy nobles, those who purchased the elixir opened the bottle and drank it straight away.

The severe side effects made everyone think they had bought a fake.

They even suspected the whole thing was a scam.

But as the side effects disappeared, and those who had taken it confirmed its effectiveness,

The criticism turned into astonishment and praise.

Now, it was confirmed that the elixir had the advertised effects.

They really had developed such a thing.

An elixir that could enhance attributes without increasing levels.

The examining nobles left one by one, and the truth of the elixir's effectiveness quickly spread.

…

Island Lord's Mansion.

Island Lord Wu Heng sat in his study, looking at the blueprints in his hand.

Before long, Xiao Xiao flew back first.

Xiao Xiao said, “Someone took the elixir, and when the side effects appeared, it scared the people around them. They even said they were going to come to you for an explanation.”

“And then what happened?” Wu Heng asked.

“It got better after that, the old noble who took the elixir also said it was effective, and they praised you for having talent,” Xiao Xiao said, floating with arms folded.

“As long as it's fine,” Wu Heng said.

The effectiveness of the elixir speaks for itself; he had taken it himself, and so had the maid from the Otherworld and several women around him.

There was definitely no issue with the effects.

But he was still worried about potential accidents, such as if the person taking it was too old, or had some sort of heart disease.

The side effects of the elixir could exacerbate the illness, leading to death.

That would really be unlucky.

During their conversation, Glenda and Bella also flew back.

Glenda said, “The two people I observed both took it normally without any problems.”

Bella added, “The person I was following took it as well, and several merchants on the carriage ride back even wrote letters confirming the elixir's effectiveness and sent them off.”

It appeared that many people were still watching and waiting.

They didn't quite believe that the elixir could have such effects.

Now that everyone who bought the elixir had taken it, the matter of its effectiveness was generally confirmed.

“It seems that this time it was quite successful,” Wu Heng said with a smile.

Glenda floated towards the desk, “It's also thanks to your Wood Elf, she handled everything very well in the operation of this whole matter.”

This point, Wu Heng also thought was quite good.

“After all, she is the president of Starflower; she is more familiar with this aspect.”

“So, you should treat her well, as she will continue to help you in the future,” Glenda said softly.

Wu Heng looked at her with a bit of irritation, “It sounds like you think I am using her.”

“Of course not, but sometimes it feels like you are a bit slow to react. Don't blame yourself, men and women think in different directions,” Glenda continued.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, “You're right, I'll be mindful of that.”

Xiao Xiao couldn't stand it any longer, floated over, and leaned on Wu Heng's shoulder, “Who says that, everyone really likes Uncle.”

Glenda laughed and said, “Yes, he is indeed quite outstanding.”

“Not just with women, ever since leaving Black Stone Town, Wu Heng's rate of progress has been so rapid,” Bella also said.

“I know,” Xiao Xiao raised her hand and then said, “Black Stone Town ostracizes Necromancers, and the steward of Black Stone Town even wanted to take over Uncle's body, they're all bad people.”

“Ah… right,” Bella thought about it and felt it made sense.

The environment indeed was not suitable for his development.

Knock, knock, knock~!

During their conversation, someone knocked on the door.

Mini's voice came through, “Master, are you there?”

Wu Heng asked the ghosts to attend to their own matters and opened the door, “What's the matter?”

“A gentleman named 'Virgil' has come to visit, saying he is from the Hongwen Alliance,” Mini said.

Virgil was the Alliance Mage from the Hongwen Alliance who had invited him to join the last time he was on Gold and Silver Island.

It didn't feel like much time had passed since then, and he was back at Gold and Silver Island.

“Take him to the living room.”

Wu Heng followed Mini downstairs.

After waiting a while in the living room, Mini brought the man inside.

The lead mage entered the living room while two attendants stayed at the door.

“Island Lord Wu Heng!” a ruddy-faced man in a mage robe entered.

Wu Heng rose with a smile, “Mr. Virgil, it's been a while.”

Virgil also laughed, “I hadn't expected that so many exciting things would happen on Gold and Silver Island just shortly after I left. Had I known, I wouldn't have gone.”

“It's not too late to stay now,” Wu Heng gestured with his hand, “Please, have a seat.”

The two sat down in the living room, and the maids brought tea and pastries.

Then, led by Mini, they stood properly by the side, like professional maids in a noble's house.

Virgil praised, “The Gold and Silver Island has transformed again since I last visited. I've been to many main cities in different countries, and many aren't as thriving and bustling as Gold and Silver Island now is.”

Wu Heng politely said, “Once the exhibition and auction are over, it will return to its former state.”

Virgil continued, “You're too modest. I know of many tycoons who have bought mansions on the island. As long as the exhibitions and the auctions of elixirs are held regularly, the heat on the island won't fade but will only continue to grow.”

“I hope it goes as you say, getting better and better!” Wu Heng smiled.

Virgil nodded with a smile, then turned serious and asked, “I won't beat around the bush–did you create that elixir?”
