I didn’t expect him to leave early,” Wu Heng said as he walked in and sat down on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiraz said, “Maybe there was some change in plans?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, the association’s fleet?” Wu Heng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He probably boarded a ship from one of the merchant groups. They’ve been closing down the port for the past couple of days, and it has delayed many ships’ schedules. A lot of them left this morning,” Xi Ligui explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!” Wu Heng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like Xi Ligui wasn’t aware of which ship he had left on either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile, Xi Ligui said, “You seem to dislike him quite a bit, yet you took it seriously.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my profession, getting on good terms with an Inspector Special Envoy is never a bad thing,” Wu Heng turned and added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are already doing very well in your achievements; you don’t need these extra efforts. The association’s promotions are out of his reach as an Inspector Special Envoy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, you’re right,” Wu Heng continued, “Anyway, since he’s gone, it’s done. I was just asking. I’ll head back now and treat you to a meal some other day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm!” Xi Ligui responded softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng left the room and headed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked through the corridor, Wu Heng swiftly pondered over the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalemah’s early departure had indeed disrupted his original plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just a matter of whether he could catch up in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also unclear about which ship the other party had boarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as Xi Ligui mentioned, the port had been closed for the past couple of days, affecting many of the fleets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no leads at all, it was simply unrealistic to check each one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imilo likely knew the vessel and route he had taken, but with Imilo’s way of thinking, if he tried to gather information himself, it was easy to reveal something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would attract their attention and make the situation even harder to deal with later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This old fox… if only he wouldn’t run!” Wu Heng clenched his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed that he truly had no way to handle the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he could bring out a missile from the modern world right now, he wouldn’t know whom to target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned to the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow was there, wiping bookshelves and furniture with a burlap cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little owl was chasing insects around the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wu Heng return, Andre Willow immediately smiled, “Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, have someone come in to clean, don’t do it yourself,” Wu Heng walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s alright, there’s not much to do anyway. Didn’t you say you were going to the port to send someone off? How come you’re back already?” Andre Willow continued to inquire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He left early; I didn’t make it in time,” Wu Heng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his gaze fell on the direction of the desk, where the Skeleton Investigator responsible for monitoring and recording was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked over, picked up the record book, and his gaze slightly tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the sparse two or three entries from the previous days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the past few days’ entries were a bit more substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘You go to the port, see the captain of the “Te Saint Cargo Ship,” and arrange the sailing quarters.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘My lord, isn’t the fleet scheduled for tomorrow noon?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘We’ve stayed on Gold and Silver Island a bit too long; it’s time to leave early.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Alright, I’ll go now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Don’t mention this to anyone, I don’t want to disturb others.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Understood, my lord!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Prepare the carriage, don’t delay.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The record ended here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng was also somewhat surprised by the record in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monitoring device, which hadn’t been very useful, had recorded important information on the last day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he was no longer without any clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he knew which ship, the “Te Saint Cargo Ship,” the other party had taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?” Andre Willow looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing!” Wu Heng put the record book away and said, “I’m going out for a bit. If anyone asks, tell them I’ve gone to investigate a fugitive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, master!” Andre Willow nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng left the association with the Skeleton directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hailed a carriage and headed to the port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage stopped at the port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng paid the fare, stepped down from the carriage, and stood on the roadside, looking toward the port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The port was still bustling and busy, with workers moving cargo and fleet crew standing on wooden crates, recruiting sailors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Wu Heng had planned to go straight to the old tavern to gather information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female Prophet, controlling all the workers at the port, would definitely have news about the “Te Saint Cargo Ship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the carriage arrived at the entrance, he changed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female Prophet herself traded in information, and her profession as a Prophet endowed her with some special abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking her directly was likely to tip her off to something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would leave another potential risk for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the carriage didn’t stop and directly reached the port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing still, Wu Heng looked around and saw several members of the association approaching from not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had met these people before; they were from the fifth team, and the leader was a woman, “Deputy Steward Wu Heng, are you here to investigate ‘Ewald’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the association, the murder of the Stag Merchant Group’s steward had been settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ‘Ewald,’ the man, had been placed on the wanted list, and squads and some mercenary groups were searching everywhere for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that the fifth team was still investigating this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, that made sense, a captain who had just been put on the list was somewhat easier to handle than those fugitives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nodded, “Yes, any leads?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it’s as if he’s disappeared into thin air,” the female captain said with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng thought for a moment, “Let’s go, follow me to the ship management to check.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” The captain responded and followed Wu Heng towards the direction of the ship management office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of people came over menacingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship manager, who had his feet on the table, immediately stood up, “What can I do for you, lords?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng straightforwardly said, “The association is investigating a fugitive. Show me the records of the ship fleets entering and leaving the port.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past few days, the port had been sealed off due to the murders by Imilo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship management office was aware that a fugitive was being searched for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, they immediately brought out the logbook, “Lord, these are the records.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recording a ship fleet’s arrival and departure from the port was mandatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from ensuring that your ship isn’t a pirate vessel, it also served as a form of protection for the fleet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one were to go missing, they could trace a general area based on records along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not simply disappear on the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng took the log and flipped through it to find daytime departures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found the records of the ‘Te Saint Cargo Ship,’ its destination, and its sailing route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quickly scanning through, he memorized the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he handed the logbook to the fifth team’s captain, “Focus on inspecting the ships that are about to depart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” The fifth team took the logbook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng continued, “You handle the checks here, and I’ll go visit the taverns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth team hesitated, but ultimately nodded and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the ship management area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng first went to his own ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cabin, he took out a tablet to confirm the sea area and routes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the cargo ship’s speed, he might very well catch up with the other party if he left from Cock-Tail Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several times the idea of letting the other party go surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was unsure whether the other party might pose a threat to him after leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he simply let the other go, countless possibilities could arise later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crafty Inspector Special Envoy was more daunting than brutal pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Skull Crusher, you stay. Shark Teeth, come with me!” Wu Heng instructed the skeleton in the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skeleton Boxer Shark Teeth emerged from among the skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking Shark Teeth and Kerim with him, he promptly left the cabin and the port, heading towards a distant location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching a more secluded spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng took out the “Train Conductor’s Hat” and put it on his head, boarded the train, and set off for Cock-Tail Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A light fog hung over the sea surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng stood on a single-person wooden boat, with Kerim standing behind him and Shark Teeth propelling the boat forward from beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire boat raced through the water like a speedboat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed was fast, but the waves caused the boat to sway incessantly, making it rather uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a cargo ship could be seen moving slowly forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ship named ‘Te Saint,’ silhouettes with torches in hand could be faintly seen moving back and forth on the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wu Heng immediately halted the boat’s progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they approached so conspicuously, they might end up in a direct confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, he released Glenda the Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you found him?” Glenda asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng gestured towards the cargo ship in the distance, “He should be on that ship. Go scout the deck, but don’t enter the cabin. I suspect Kalemah might detect you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, can do!” Glenda concealed his form and flew towards the direction of the cargo ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Illuminating Stone lamp was set up on the wooden desk in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalemah bid farewell to the wealthy merchant who had come for a chat, his gaze shifting to the Attendant, “You may also go back to rest. I’ll call you if there’s anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my lord,” the Attendant replied and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalemah closed the door, then sat back down at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started to examine the contents of another Space Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each item he reviewed, a smile spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Secret Cultivation Hall folks really are rich. When I get back, this should be enough to buy a manor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his smile faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, he said, “The detailed information on this kid could probably fetch a good price at the Secret Cultivation Hall.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1871,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.488Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","ed510ee0b574bc4df371c1fca61acfe6e459539f543029c9fcf1f49f714548c6","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-436","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-434",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
