The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 195: Chapter 174, Same Goal (Update first, recovery tomorrow.)_1

An organization composed of the wealthy and powerful.

These two points alone prove that they hold a substantial portion of resources.

Even if they can’t compare to associations and consortiums that have gained early fame, they’re definitely not a small organization like a local gang or cult.

Otherwise, the association wouldn’t fear them infiltrating it, nor would Slyther seriously warn herself to stay away from them.

Given this.

Thinking back to Yazde, the Secret Cultivation Hall, and the content of their agreement, it’s not difficult to guess.

They extended Yazde’s life in exchange for his services as their internal informant, gathering intel, or directly assisting in accomplishing certain tasks.

As long as one becomes a team leader or steward, they could accomplish much.

Later on, when they invited Wu Heng to join, they likely had the same idea.

Their need for spies within the association doesn’t really depend on Yazde, perhaps a good number of people in the association have already been bought.

After all, wealth is a target everyone chases.

According to the agreement with those from the ‘Secret Cultivation Hall,’ it’s time for the transaction now.

Either give me 80 Gold Coins to buy back the two Special Items.

Or Wu Heng will directly donate them to the association, in exchange for merit.

It’s just that, they haven’t contacted him yet.

Wondering if they are preparing something.

He should be cautious, or take the initiative to eliminate some potential risks.

There’s a second page to Slyther’s letter.

It’s about personal matters.

Expressing her fondness for the bracelet he gave her when they parted, she wears it every day, and when she sees the bracelet, it’s as if Wu Heng is by her side.

Then there are some changes and staff movements in Black Stone Town.

They are bits of scattered news.

Although there is no explicitly flirtatious language.

You can still sense a longing reminiscent of a long-distance relationship between the lines.

Slyther now seems significantly different from her initial impression, less like the powerful woman managing Money Cat and an association steward herself, but more like an ordinary woman.

Wu Heng finished reading with a smile on his face.

Honestly, after reading the letter, he started to miss her too.

If the Bronze Key could reach anywhere, he could also go to Black Stone Town to see her.

After reading Slyther’s reply, he proceeded to open the second letter.

Upon opening it, seeing the sloppy handwriting similar to his own, he knew that it was Yuli’s letter.

The opening line was asking him why the comics he gave her were all in unintelligible symbols. She even compared them with a symbol book, but couldn’t translate the content.

She could only look at the pictures and guess the general plot.

It was extremely frustrating.

Asking Wu Heng to translate it for her, to be given back to her later, or she would come directly to him for him to read aloud the content.

Although she wasn’t polite.

But Wu Heng and Yuli have the best relationship within the team.

She’s still somewhat wild, but carefree as a child.

After reading Yuli’s letter, there also was a reply from Autruck, the former captain of Black Stone Town.

The content was only simple pleasantries, and a reminder to pay attention to his safety.

Wu Heng took out letter paper and wrote replies to all three in turn.

In the reply to Slyther, he asked her to continue gathering information about the ‘Secret Cultivation Hall.’ After all, she belongs to the ‘Secret Speaker’ circle, there must be some way within it to exchange information.

Also mentioned was his killing of a wanted criminal and acquiring a ‘Special Item’ from the ‘Secret Cultivation Hall,’ the ‘Blood Cup,’ which they want to buy back.

Should he sell it back to them or directly submit it to the association?

Wu Heng mentioning this issue.

Is also to leave himself a way out.

Slyther mentioned in her heart that the association is investigating the infiltration of the association by the Secret Cultivation Hall. He should not get involved in the chaos and get himself implicated.

With this letter, he can explain the reason for his contact with the ‘Secret Cultivation Hall.’

It should seem reasonable for a newly-appointed team leader to consult the former leader on what to do.

The second reply is for ‘Yuli.’

He listed out the main characters and their relationships from the comic for her.

This should allow her to understand the general idea and direction of the plot.

For the rest, he’ll translate it when he gets a chance.

Such a thick stack of comics would not be easy to translate.

Especially since he’s still not fluent in writing the language here.

The final reply is for Autruck, he generally wrote about the situation here.

After finishing writing all of them, he put them in envelops and sealed them with wax.

He opened the door and let the staff send them to the front desk to be mailed in a few days.

…

After sitting in the lounge for a while.

Wu Heng decided to get up and leave.

With a creak, the door of the lounge was pushed open.

The team member ‘Mata’ walked in, her leather armor clad body striding with a longbow on her back.

On seeing Wu Heng sitting in the lounge, she immediately said: “Captain, I’ve got some intel on a wanted criminal, are you free now?”

There’s still no accurate news of the assailant who tried to assassinate Wu Heng last time.

It doesn’t seem to be a good time to go on a mission.

But for capturing a wanted criminal, if they miss this time, the target might leave this city in a few days.

It won’t be as convenient to capture them as it is now.

“What kind of intel?” Wu Heng asked.

Mata sat down and directly said: “I received a message, some people have come to the city’s outskirts, they are contacting several gangs, wanting to sell a batch of goods. It’s very likely that they’re escaped wanted criminals.”

In truth, wanted criminals aren’t difficult to identify.

Those who are cautious and skulking about in everything they do are mostly wanted criminals to a great extent.
