Chapter 818: Chapter 662, Island Master, do you want a Flying Dragon? Chapter 818: Chapter 662, Island Master, do you want a Flying Dragon? The old beastman's eyes lit up, “Can you help the tribes with building houses? Theirs are too backward.”
“Of course,” Wu Heng nodded with a smile.
The old beastman also became interested, “Tell me more about it, I think it's a good idea.”
Unlike the nations of humans, the beastman tribes outside Lundham City exist in the form of a federation.
Each tribe exists independently, yet they belong to the same race.
They fight each other, besides facing common enemies.
However, the beastmen internally have abundant resources and a considerable population, all of which are what Wu Heng valued.
He wanted to use the pressure brought by the Yeko Kingdom to link the beastmen with Lundham City.
Wu Heng shared his ideas with the other party.
The old beastman nodded frequently.
After finishing, the old beastman continued, “I will discuss it with the other tribes and get back to you as soon as possible.”
“Good.” The old beastman drained the tea in his cup in one gulp, stood up, and left.
Wu Heng escorted her out of the City Lord's Mansion and watched her depart.
As night fell.
Wu Heng repeated his conversation with the beastman shamans to Wen Mansha.
“Are you worried that we won't be able to hold off against the Yeko Kingdom's attack?” Wen Mansha asked curiously.
“No, the troops I've arranged are enough to fend off the Yeko Kingdom, but when we're directly confronting them, we also have to consider the beastmen. If any of them not thinking straight, like the Hammer Party, wanted to seize the city, that would be troublesome.”
Wen Mansha nodded, “Makes sense.”
“Secondly, I want to use this opportunity to increase Lundham City's influence among the beastmen, and make use of their resources and population,” Wu Heng explained.
“Alright, I understand.”
The discussion about the beastmen was concluded.
Wu Heng looked at Wen Mansha and said softly, “I'll take you to Gold and Silver Island. Let Hartel take care of things here for a while, and I'll bring you back after some time.”
Wen Mansha smiled and shook her head, “I like it here. Let's go after the baby is a bit older. Just come back to see us often.”
Seeing her seriousness, Wu Heng didn't say anything more.
He took out two special items from the Space Ring, “Here are three special items, left for you to use.”
Picking them up one by one, he introduced them, “This is an Illusion Veil. After putting it on, your appearance can change. Professionals below level 15 definitely won't notice, and those above level 15 might spot some flaws. The side effect is that it unintentionally makes you make coquettish glances at men, so be careful.”
“The second is called the 'Nightmare Oil Lamp.' If you don't like someone, you can collect their hair or skin flakes and make them have nightmares. The side effect is that it requires the first drop of blood from a living being each time you use it; just find some animals for this.”
“The third is for our daughter, named the 'Veil of the Skilled Dancer.' Wearing it will allow her to exhibit superb dancing skills. The side effect is that once worn, she has to dance for two hours straight. If she likes it, she can wear it and practice, if not, then put it away.”
Wen Mansha looked at the three items, “It seems none of them are of use.”
“Keep them just in case you might need them one day. Tomorrow, I will arrange some high-level Skeletons for you,” Wu Heng said.
He had originally wanted to leave the Church's 'Untainted Holy Radiance' for Wen Mansha, but since she came from the underworld, he was afraid the side effects might cause problems.
Better leave it.
“Alright then, thank you, Master,” Wen Mansha said sweetly.
As the sky grew darker, he had the housekeeper carry the sleeping child to the next room, and the two of them went to bed.
The next day.
Wu Heng opened the boundary door through the warehouse's gate.
At his command, a large number of Skeletons stepped out.
Each Skeleton was above level 10, dressed in blue anti-stab vests, with tactical helmets on their heads and rifles on their backs.
It was like a modernized army.
Behind the troops was a Skeleton wearing a colorful long skirt and a sun hat.
Once everyone was out.
Wu Heng shut the boundary door and led all the Skeletons to the front yard.
Wen Mansha also came over with the child in her arms.
Wu Heng said, “This is Bone Demon No.2, an 18-level Skeleton Warrior, who can remotely control all skeletons from a distance. From now on, it will be responsible for your protection, and you can discuss any plans with it.”
Then, he continued to introduce her to the Skeletons. “This is Wen Mansha. You are to ensure her safety from now on and also obey her commands.”
Bone Demon No.2 stepped up to Wen Mansha's side.
Wen Mansha nodded and said with a smile, “Please take good care of me from now on.”
After everything was settled.
Wu Heng and Wen Mansha whispered a few words to each other.
Then he put on the Train Captain's Hat, boarded the train, and waved goodbye.
The train passed through the border of the Yeko Kingdom.
Wu Heng still got off the train to check around, releasing all three Ghosts to scout out the city and the stationed troops.
There was indeed a certain number of troops at the border, but still not enough to attack Lundham City.
Either the plan had been postponed or it had simply been smoke and mirrors.
After confirming there were no issues.
Wu Heng continued on the train towards Black Stone Town.
In the Steward's Office, he saw Slyther, Yuli, and an 18-level skeleton attendant assigned to accompany them.
Feeling reassured.
He didn't stay long this time. They had dinner together.
After advising them to be careful, he put on the hat again and returned to Gold and Silver Island.
Gold and Silver Island, outside the association entrance.
“The association has such courses? Why haven't I heard of them before?” A young dwarf with a backpack squeezed through the crowd.
His companion said, “I heard that the Island Master secured them for us as a condition for joining the Hongwen Alliance.”
“He's a Necromancer, why would he do that? I'm somewhat skeptical.”
“I see it differently from you. I may not trust others, but I do believe that Island Lord Wu Heng is capable of doing such things.”
In the midst of their conversation, another person joined in.
“Today is the open course for Alchemists, and there will also be performances by Mechanists and Bards later on. All free of charge. Where else can you find such benefits?”
“Gold and Silver Island has changed so much.”
In the days since my departure.
The teaching sessions promised by the Hongwen Alliance were all arranged.
In classrooms organized by the association, various types of public courses were held.
No fees, all for free.
But you had to sign up in advance, and once it was full, you had to wait for the next opportunity.
When this news was announced, it caused quite a stir on the island, hardly less significant than an exhibition or auction.
After all, such free courses.
It was clear who stood to benefit.
The nobility and wealthy merchants looked down on these, while the common residents benefited the most.
Although it was known that Island Lord Wu Heng and Steward Xi Ligui were very kind to the ordinary people on the island.
No one expected them to go this far.
There were even rumors that Island Lord Wu Heng was forced into joining the Hongwen Alliance in exchange for these courses.
Such a good man!
To do so much for the people of the island.
The people from the Hongwen Alliance are also despicable, using such things to threaten others.
Pretending to be scholars of the association.
Despite these thoughts, the courses still needed to be attended.
After all, everyone was working hard to improve themselves.
“Master, you're back!”
As I entered the gate, the housemaids came out to greet me.
“I'm back. Is everything alright at home?” Wu Heng asked as he shed his coat.
Mini said, “Nothing's wrong. The teaching schedule from the Hongwen Alliance is set, and today is the second day of the alchemy course. We went to listen too. The only downside is that we have to buy our own materials. The material stores are making a fortune.”
Wu Heng chuckled, “The courses are free, so of course you have to prepare your own materials. We can't expect the association to cover everything.”
“True, and all these opportunities were secured by the master,” Mini said, following up with another question, “Is Wen Mansha sister doing well? Is the child cute?”
“Cute. The baby's name is Wu Qin. I'll take you to see them when I get the chance.”
“Great, does the child have black hair or red hair?”
“Still too young, no hair yet!”
“Oh!”
I sat in the living room, chatting with Mini.
The knocking on the front door once more broke the silence.
The Cat Woman Robey ran to answer it, asked a few questions, then came running back, “Master, there's someone at the door who said they've been to the city hall before and want to discuss a cooperative matter with you.”
They came straight to the Island Lord's Mansion?
This was indeed a first.
“How many people?”
“Just one.”
“Let him in,” said Wu Heng.
Robey nodded and quickly went out.
Wu Heng sat in the living room and waited for a while.
Robey returned with a strongly built man in brown leather armor trailing behind her.
His hair was messy, and he sported a thick beard.
This appearance did not resemble a merchant coming to discuss cooperation in the slightest.
As the man entered the hall, he quickly surveyed everyone before his gaze settled on Wu Heng, to whom he bowed and said in a coarse voice, “Dragon Trafficking Team, Gregor, at your service, Lord Island Master.”
Dragon Trafficking Team?
Wu Heng frowned slightly.
Had the incident where I had killed their fleet been uncovered? Unlikely, not a single survivor was left.
Even the Flying Dragons, only three were alive, kept in the back yard.
“Have a seat! You mentioned coming to discuss a cooperation?” Wu Heng inquired.
The man sat across from him and stated directly, “Lord Island Master, our business involves the sale of Flying Dragons, which you may know were previously used for escorting ships in the Emerald Sea.”
It seemed he was here to sell Flying Dragons to me.
Wu Heng nodded, “Flying Dragons, yes. But currently, the island has no plans to purchase any.”
“No, no, that's not it. My apologies for not making myself clear,” the man immediately waved his hand and continued to explain, “Our leader was wondering if you'd be interested in buying Flying Dragon skeletons. We have a number of dragon corpses on hand.”
