Chapter 987: Chapter 788, Related to the Crown Prince (One More Today.)_3 Chapter 987: Chapter 788, Related to the Crown Prince (One More Today.)_3 “Perhaps there is,” Lilith obviously didn't want to elaborate.
Wu Heng didn't continue to probe either.
If the other party did not wish to talk, no amount of questioning would yield anything.
Wu Heng was about to speak when Xiao Xiao peeked down from the roof.
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, “What's the matter, Xiao Xiao?”
Xiao Xiao flew down and said, “Uncle, when you're done chatting, can I talk to Sister Lilith?”
“Do you know Lilith?”
Unbeknownst to Xiao Xiao, her acquaintance with the other two ghosts and their knowledge of her friendship with Lilith had been established.
It was probably no secret to Lilith either; after all, the gift of such a large piece of jade was a giveaway.
“Ah?” Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered that this matter was meant to be kept secret and then playfully said, “Yeah, can't I have a very powerful friend?”
Wu Heng feigned anger, “Then next time you make a friend, you have to tell me first.”
Xiao Xiao laid down on his shoulder, “Got it, Uncle, and you're the best.”
“Talking is fine, but how should we talk?” said Wu Heng.
Even when ghosts reveal themselves, electronic devices can't capture their forms, nor can recording and communication tools pick up their voices.
Only a burst of electrical noise would be left.
After thinking for a bit and looking at Xiao Xiao's expectant gaze, he said, “How about this, you'll possess me later then have a chat with Lilith.”
“Uncle is the best, I'll just say a few words.”
“Wait a moment; I have a couple more things to discuss with your Auntie Lilith.”
“Okay.” Xiao Xiao hovered nearby, silently waiting.
Wu Heng asked, “Leader, when a Necromancer transforms high-level skeletons, it creates very unstable factors that can decrease the final level of the skeletons. Is there a way to avoid this?”
“What level do you plan on transforming?” queried Lilith.
“Level 18,” Wu Heng casually fabricated.
“And what's your level now?”
“Level 16.”
“That's not a big issue. I'll give Xiao Xiao a jade stone. Hold it while casting; it can enhance the strength of your spells. For one or two levels difference, it should work, but it won't be effective for a much larger gap,” Lilith explained.
A surge of joy filled Wu Heng's heart; that jade stone really was a fantastic item.
Wu Heng remembered another matter and added, “Leader, don't forget about the technique you mentioned last time — the one to seal people's mouths. I'm still waiting to learn it.”
“Mhm,” came a soft acknowledgment.
Seeing the agreement, he said, “Thank you, leader. I've finished here, and Xiao Xiao would like to say a few words to you.”
“Sure,” came Lilith's indifferent voice.
“Xiao Xiao, go ahead and possess me,” Wu Heng released his Divine Presence, and Xiao Xiao immediately possessed Wu Heng's body, picking up the microphone, she said, “Sister Lilith.”
Lilith on the other side shivered suddenly, “Xiao Xiao?”
“Ah, sister, did you take my photo?”
While in the state of Divine Presence, Wu Heng possessed the skeleton at the Steward Mansion.
With each level up, the distance he could reach with this skill increased.
As there weren't many places to go, he went straight to the Steward Mansion.
A small Skeleton Squad patrolled along the small path in the courtyard.
Wu Heng blended in with them.
It had to be said that this ability was quite good for stealthily surveilling certain places.
Following the Skeleton Squad, he could see through a window into a house, observing Shi Yali reading and Xi Ligui practicing swordsmanship.
Muffled voices of conversation could be heard.
“How did Mom put it?” Xi Ligui wiped sweat from her forehead and sat down.
Without lifting her head, Shi Yali asked, “Didn't you say to let Wu Heng figure it out? What did he say?”
“What could he do? What if he gets scared?”
“Then you figure it out!” Shi Yali retorted.
Xi Ligui said, “I thought about it, we just don't mention it for now. When Wu Heng reaches level 18, then we'll spread the word.”
“Why don't you say wait until he becomes a hero to talk about it.”
“Him? What a hassle, always researching this and that, even if I become a hero, it would be tough for him,” said Xi Ligui.
Shi Yali turned to glance at her sister and said, “Just be careful not to give it away when the time comes.”
“You'd better not give it away,” Xi Ligui replied, then suddenly turned her head towards the window.
There was a lone skeleton, continuing its stiff steps, catching up with the Skeleton Squad ahead.
“There was a skeleton just now, it seemed to be looking at us.”
Shi Yali, without looking up, said, “You must be going mad with longing, seeing hallucinations now.”
“It's true,” insisted Xi Ligui seriously.
Shi Yali stood by the window and peered out, then said, “Tell the skeletons to patrol outside the mansion tomorrow; don't come inside.”
“Alright.”
Wu Heng followed the squad rigidly for a while.
Then he switched to another skeleton and patrolled outside with the Patrol Guard.
After nearly half an hour, he finally released Divine Presence and returned to his own body.
Releasing Divine Presence.
His body lay flat on the floor.
Wu Heng rolled over and sat up, resettling himself in his chair.
Next time, he had to tell Xiao Xiao not to just lie on the floor.
After contemplating a bit, Wu Heng contacted Shanaela and recounted the information he'd gathered from Lilith.
The other side saw this as good news; even if it couldn't dethrone the Crown Prince immediately.
If made public, it would tarnish his reputation and make some supporters waver.
After discussing for a while.
Shanaela left to inform the Fifth Princess of the matter.
Wu Heng also stood up, returning to his room to rest.
The next morning.
After breakfast, Wu Heng returned to his study to head towards the boundary door.
Sitting before the monitors, he checked the status of each prison.
At this moment, Bella and Xiao Xiao flew in from outside.
They said, “Wu Heng, the Zombie King's level has reached 20, you should go check it out.”
