Over\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard let him through, and Wu Heng walked straight in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman with six arms, still dressed in extravagant finery, wore gold adornments on her neck and wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What information do you require?” the woman looked up at him, one of her arms lifting to brush her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng asked, “Is it alright to speak here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman seemed startled and glanced around, “You all, leave us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few people in the room left promptly, leaving only two guards by the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman said, “Speak then, what do you wish to know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Information about pirates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The activity in the woman’s hands paused, she looked up, “That might be a wasted trip for you, we control some information on the island, but pirate groups never stay in one place for long, I can’t provide any news for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her tone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there was some aversion to bringing up the matter of pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this shouldn’t be too hard to guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like in Lundham City, any faction that has provided information to the association would be ostracized by other factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, the consequences could be even more severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The approach of pirates was known to be far more ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then, I won’t bother you any longer,” Wu Heng turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman glanced at his departing figure and said, “There were two bodies found at the harbor, there might have been an incident, you could check it out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng looked back, “Alright, thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon leaving the Barrel Tavern, Wu Heng headed toward the harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was still bustling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the number of docked ships had clearly diminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heading towards the ship administration desk, Wu Heng showed the association’s emblem and directly asked, “Where are the bodies that washed ashore this morning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship administrator was a human with a scarf tied around his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On seeing the emblem, he immediately took his feet off the table and said, “Further back, it has been reported already, by this afternoon someone will take them away to incinerate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take me to see them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, sure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man led Wu Heng to the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a crude stone room, there lay two bodies, bloated and pale from being in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You go on down, I’ll call you if there’s anything,” Wu Heng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, sir,” the man promptly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much here, and since the bodies were to be burned, there was no fear of further damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the ship administrator had left,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng performed the “Communicate with the Dead” on the bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies sat up from the ground and turned to look in his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng asked, “How did you die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body answered, “I was killed by pirates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In which area?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Near Gold and Silver Island on the ‘Romulo Route’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which Pirate Group?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Iron Barrel Pirate Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iron Barrel Pirate Group?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng had paid special attention to this group before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in the records, this pirate group had a Flying Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, collecting Flying Dragon carcasses was one of Wu Heng’s development strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have any other information on the Iron Barrel Pirate Group?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is the name of your caravan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adira Business Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five questions, the body collapsed back to the ground with a thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng was about to question the second body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the sound of footsteps came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several men dressed as guards walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Said, “Deputy Steward, we have come to incinerate the bodies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng looked at the bodies and pointed to the one he had just interrogated, “Take that one and burn it, I will take the other one back for investigation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards lifted the body and carried it away, while Wu Heng had Skeleton roll up the other one in a straw mat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then stowed it in his Space Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the guards, he also directly exited the ship administration’s backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking back the way he came,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng mulled over the intelligence issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he continued to search so casually, the likelihood of finding pirates was clearly impossible, and he might even attract the attention of someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still need to carefully consider the plan before proceeding with the investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Return to the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I entered the office study,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow handed me a letter, “Someone delivered this letter to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng picked it up and saw that the envelope was blank and it wasn’t using the association’s standard mail service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who delivered it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A kid dropped it off at the front desk and ran away,” Andre Willow said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A kid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he left right after dropping it off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng handed the letter to Skull Crusher beside him, “Open it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skull Crusher casually tore open the envelope, and a piece of letter paper fell out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It landed face up, with a few words written on it, “Tonight, the house with the blue triangle flag in the Lighthouse Residential Area, a fugitive will appear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fugitive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they notified me in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the message from the Barrel Tavern? Or someone else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, could this be some sort of trap? Who would send a message like this?” Andre Willow said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng’s eyebrows were also furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t figure out the identity of the person who wrote the letter, and the style didn’t seem like something the ‘Barrel Tavern’ would do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, the motive doesn’t matter, I’ll go take a look when the time comes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It might be dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng smiled, “Go see if the third squad is available. If they don’t have any tasks, have them follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a secluded room in Lighthouse Street’s residential district,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng sat in front of the window, looking at the building opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the clues in the letter, the building opposite was where the fugitive was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everything was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Steward, we have reached our position and can attack the building at any moment,” came the voice of Olin, the leader of Squad 3, through the wireless earpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng looked down from the window. The people from Squad 3 had already appeared in the alley opposite the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a single command, they could storm in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng replied, “Wait for now. Wait for my signal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were talking, Glenda, responsible for reconnaissance, flew back from the opposite and said, “Did you offend someone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng’s brow furrowed, “Why do you say that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glenda hovered in midair and said, “The room you mentioned, it’s clearly a trap. As soon as you enter, you’d be shot dead by the set ballista.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng’s frown deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, the information I received was deliberately leading me here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, it’s a trap,” Wu Heng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.” Glenda continued, “If it’s a trap set specifically for you, the enemy is also nearby, waiting for you to trigger the trap. They’ll then come over to sweep the area and confirm your death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nodded, “That means I just need to trigger the trap and then see who shows up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng contacted Olin below through the wireless earpiece, “Don’t go in yet. There’s a trap inside. Stand by.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!” The members of Squad 3 retreated back into the deepest darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng thought for a moment, then took the remaining bodies out of the Space Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cast the “Corpse Manipulation Skill,” and the body shakily stood up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng covered the carrion with a cloak and gave another order, “Enter that house and search around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the command, the carrion shakily went downstairs and headed towards the house opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng and Glenda watched from the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the door was opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the carrion’s body was instantly blown back, impaled by an Iron Spear through the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the runes on the spear exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carrion’s chest vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Innards splattered, and its upper body flew into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the window, Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glenda also floated up, observing the entire street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for the enemy to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>",1381,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.489Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","0c050cbbc05879939f1009642d039c67dd30517043d960883c913cfaa8574fec","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-361","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-359",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
