Chapter 839: Chapter 676, let Wu Heng investigate Chapter 839: Chapter 676, let Wu Heng investigate In the bright room.
Around the heavy oak table sat the five leaders of the association.
Field Envoy Leader of the Elf Race, Heroic Spirit, Sword of Justice–Hadara Liaton.
Religious Leader of the Human Race, Heroic Spirit, Holy Light Arbitration–Saidu Livingston.
Leader of the Hongwen Alliance, Heroic Spirit of the Elf Race, Star Shining Scholar–Claudio Abbott.
Leader of the Secret Speakers, Heroic Spirit of the Blood Clan, Moonlight–Lilith Ann Beshmite.
Leader of the Hunters, Heroic Spirit of the Dwarf Race, Rock Warhammer–Bruno Baldeck.
After the last one finished reading the report from Gold and Silver Island,
he casually placed the report aside.
Then, the room fell back into silence.
The Elf Race's Field Envoy Leader, Hadara, spoke with a low and solemn voice, “Everyone has read the report from Gold and Silver Island, let's share our thoughts!”
“The report obviously contains many suspicious elements, Yeko Kingdom has always supported and trusted the association, they wouldn't do something this foolish,” the Religious Leader spoke indifferently.
The Dwarf Leader stroked his beard, “Regarding the local Steward's death, let's not deviate from the topic.”
“It is clear that someone did this on purpose to send us a false message.”
“So what are you suggesting, we ignore it? That in the future, anyone can kill an association Steward and just find a scapegoat to blame?”
“You're twisting my words, I'm just saying, don't jump to conclusions.”
Lilith tapped her delicate white fingers on the table and said, “What's there to argue about? Wu Heng from Gold and Silver Island is skilled at investigating cases. Let him look into it. Once everything is clear, we'll deal with it as necessary.”
The Elf Mage of the Hongwen Alliance, who had his eyes closed the entire time, slowly opened them and said, “Let's provide him with some support; the association's stance needs to be made clear, and it's not just about the death of a Steward. I've read the report; the slaughter of civilians also needs to be thoroughly investigated.”
The Field Envoy Leader nodded, “Then Wu Heng will investigate this matter. Arrange for a few of the association's Elders to protect him, to prevent any problems.”
“Agreed.”
“I have no objections.”
“Nor do I.”
Seaside City.
After moving all the collected shared bicycles to Gold and Silver Island,
Wu Heng went to the bicycle factory they had found and arranged for the Mechanists to record and dismantle the equipment, which was also moved to Gold and Silver Island.
In a newly constructed factory, they began assembling and preparing for production again.
Similarly, he also arranged for a large number of Skeletons to repair old shared bicycles.
By reassembling usable parts and repainting, they looked into whether they could be sold.
Once this side had busied itself with these tasks,
Wu Heng returned from Coastal Port to Shanfu Port and delivered the ships prepared by Qi Hancai to Gold and Silver Island.
The next day, at the association.
In the Steward's Office.
Wu Heng accepted the flower tea Shi Yali brought him; she also gave him a sly wink, her expression playful.
“An Elf trader came to see me yesterday, saying they wanted to order a batch of bicycles from the exhibition,” Xi Ligui suddenly spoke.
Wu Heng turned to look at her, “The new ones haven't been produced yet, don't rush.”
“It's your fault for showing that attractive hologram; the Elves are really looking forward to the bicycles,” Xi Ligui said with a smile.
“I'll notify you in advance when the finished products are ready.”
“Good,” Xi Ligui nodded.
Wu Heng then asked, “Any news from the association?”
“Not yet, mainly because the journey is quite long.” As Xi Ligui spoke, she glanced at the telephone.
She mentioned the long distances and the difficulties with communication,
which couldn't help but remind her of the telephone on Gold and Silver Island.
Aside from the initial few important departments, it was now connected to Xi Ligui's residence, allowing her to receive important messages at home in the future.
If they could install it at the association headquarters, the message delivery would be incredibly fast.
Of course, she wasn't foolish enough to speak about it–these were currently exclusive to Gold and Silver Island.
“Just worried about the other members of the Association; the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it gets,” Wu Heng said.
“Let's wait a bit more. The Association will surely arrange everything properly,” Xi Ligui said.
Wu Heng nodded, took a sip of his tea, then leaned forward, lowering his voice to ask, “How many heroes does the Association have?”
Xi Ligui gave him a look, “If you want to ask, just ask. What's with the secrecy?”
“Nothing,” he denied.
After thinking for a bit, Xi Ligui said, “The Association has 12 heroes, five of whom manage the Association–namely, the several leaders we always mention.”
“Does Lilith count too?”
“Yes, anyone who reaches level 20 is considered a hero,” Xi Ligui replied.
Having been with the Association for so long, Wu Heng also knew about the five leaders.
After all, the most stories heralded by the Association were about them.
The Elf Race was the most impressive.
They occupied two of the hero spots.
Put simply, living longer, belonging to a powerful race, leveling up was easier.
It was almost like cheating.
Wu Heng nodded and then asked, “The 12 heroes, what are the others up to?”
Having been with the Association for so long.
“I'm not sure about that. I guess some of the older generation of heroes have retired behind the scenes and would only come forward if a problem arose,” Xi Ligui explained.
That meant, including the older generation, there were 12 heroes.
But only five were in charge.
He had some connections with Lilith and was a member of the Hongwen Alliance himself.
Out of the five heroes, he could relate to two.
On his side, Glenda had reached level 20 and had become a Heroic Spirit. In the future, if Xiao Xiao and Bella also reached Heroic Spirit status,
Then they would have three level 20s; once he reached level 20 himself,
That would make four.
If those retired behind the scenes stayed out of it, they were only one person short of the Association.
“Why ask this? Close to level 20?” Xi Ligui casually said.
“I have a goal,” Wu Heng pursued, “Are there any above level 20?”
Xi Ligui's brow instantly furrowed, and Shi Yali also looked over.
“I… am not quite sure,” Xi Ligui said, then glanced at Shi Yali.
The latter shook her head, “I haven't seen any relevant records either.”
“Oh!” Wu Heng responded with a nod, then stood up and said, “Want to come with me to check out the new ship, our own airship from Gold and Silver Island?”
Xi Ligui and Shi Yali frowned at him, “What airship?”
“The ship, want to make a bet? Bet on that last one.”
“You wish, wasn't once enough?” Xi Ligui gave him a look and stood up, donning her coat.
Shi Yali also got up and they both walked outside.
They boarded a carriage, heading to the exclusive port.
At the port.
The eyes of the elf sisters were firmly captivated by the huge and majestic ship at the port.
The gigantic and wide hull was like a fortress floating on the sea.
“Come on, let's go up for a look,” Wu Heng led the way aboard.
Pulling the elf sisters onto the ship.
After boarding the deck, the two women's eyes widened even more.
Deck as vast as land, rows of Skeleton Flying Dragons were neatly arranged.
Like soldiers awaiting orders.
“Shipborne Flying Dragons, how about that, pretty creative, huh!”
