When I was with the pirate group, I only knew about his identity as a Magician, some captives would perform sacrificial rituals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nodded, then said to the members of Squad Eleven, “Go find a barrel to let this body bleed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room suddenly fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cavina turned her head to glance at the dwarf and the human thief, who immediately went down to prepare the barrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a Necromancer’s approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body was carried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng continued to question the beggar, “Do you also know of any other strongholds or locations established by the demonic pirate group?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew some before, but five years have passed. Gold and Silver Island has already expelled the pirates, I’m not sure if they still exist,” the beggar said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five years, many things have changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the pirate groups, where fleets disappear daily, or new pirate groups are established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Write down the locations you know for me, I will arrange for them to be checked, and the merit will be counted on your account,” Wu Heng told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.” The beggar stood up and began recalling the information in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to write down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ligui spoke up again, “When are we returning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll go back once the local association takes over here,” Wu Heng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The presence of the beggar could prove that the whole village were pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was very important to Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing villagers and killing pirates disguised as villagers were two different matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning, he would have a justified reason to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you trust them with this village,” Xi Ligui continued to inquire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, “We’ll have a hard time finding out anything more, let’s go back and report this to the Steward so the headquarters can deal with it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The local association and Guard Team arrived at the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have been the Deputy Steward who accompanied them yesterday, explaining the battle the night before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The local Steward and the Guard Team leader both acted very courteously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding the situation, they were shocked and angry over the ambush by pirates, yet they didn’t mention the pirate village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng and his people also didn’t ask the other party why there were pirates lying in wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a formal handover on the surface, they planned to return to Lopaz City harbor and take a ship back to Gold and Silver Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked out together from the village courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hordes of villagers gathered in the central area, each looking gloomy, many holding sticks in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city’s Guard Team, negotiating loudly with the villagers, sweat beading on foreheads and necks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tramp, tramp, tramp~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng and the others emerged, glancing toward the noisy spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the noisy scene went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers all bowed their heads, ceasing further actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, these people might have argued with the Guard Team, but that person in the distance….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave them a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of Skeletons following behind were all their former companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to say if provoking him again would result in their complete annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Steward, we will handle this properly,” the leader beside them spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nodded, leading his group away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before dusk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage reached the harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon re-embarking on the ship from the Gold and Silver Island association, they slowly left the harbor, entering the route back to Gold and Silver Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when they had truly left the vicinity of Lopaz City did everyone slowly breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ligui surveyed the ship again and then said, “Have two squads strengthen patrols, be cautious of dangers that may follow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Deputy Steward,” the two team leaders nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrol duties were arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone returned to their assigned rooms to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng released two ghosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glenda glanced at the cabin, “Have we started the return voyage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was on this very ship cabin they had come, and now still here, it was apparent they were heading back to Gold and Silver Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, we’re heading back. The remaining issues will be reported to the headquarters, and will be dealt with then,” said Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good,” Glenda nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piao hesitated for a moment but still called out, “Uncle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?” Wu Heng looked up at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piao moved to another spot and said, “Next time we fight, I don’t want to go against the birds, it’s so low.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, when they dealt with the five pursuing pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skull Crusher and Kerim each took on a pirate, Glenda tangled with the Bomb Man, and Piao was disrupting the ranger’s Tamed Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps feeling that her contribution wasn’t significant, she harbored some resistance inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng said with a smile, “That’s a Tamed Beast, and everyone has a different role, but the goal is the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to, anyway, I don’t want to compete with a bird again next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, “When we get back, I’ll look through the materials to see how you can level up. Once your level is higher, you can participate in battles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief chat, Piao went to the other side to watch cartoons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glenda flew out to monitor the nearby maritime safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once on the seas, they had to be cautious of pirates and other dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng then took out all of the spoils from last night’s battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of nine Space Rings, the largest with a 20 cubic volume, the smallest only 2 cubic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all plucked from the pirate captain and several pirate leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside each ring, there was no shortage of fresh water and food, as well as some daily necessities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who spent a long time at sea paid more attention to carrying these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, there was a large amount of gold and silver currency, some Magical Scrolls, various types of elixirs, and some magic artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a great variety, especially in one of the Space Rings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have belonged to the Bomb Dwarf, as half of the 20-cubic space was filled with alchemical grenades of varying effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were all detonated, the ship beneath their feet might well be sunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After going over the loot once and putting it back into the Space Rings,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>only a thick book remained in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Scripture of Proselytization (Special Item)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Effect: Increases Charm, making speech more influential and goals easier to achieve (requires face-to-face interaction, and the lower the target’s Perception, the more distinct the effect.)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Side effect: After each use of the item, one must repent sincerely within 24 hours, or face a ‘speechless’ curse for three days.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Description: Seek the forgiveness of the true God!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to be a rather nice Special Item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could increase one’s Charm and the persuasive power of speech, making it easier to reach goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This effect could be useful in many situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the side effect doesn’t seem too severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sincere repentance within 24 hours, or else be in a state of speechless curse for three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speechless—Wu Heng had actually seen it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, when Kalemah used the side effect of the Sincere Clay Sculpture, it was speechlessness, simply put, the mouth wouldn’t open, unable to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be a bit more severe, unable to speak for three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But within 24 hours, after all, there was a chance to repent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, it was a very nice Special Item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After storing it away, Wu Heng continued to check the other items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest were quite common and nothing too peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As night deepened, Wu Heng went around the deck for a walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he returned to the cabin to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next afternoon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the ship returned to Gold and Silver Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group hailed several horse-drawn carriages and headed straight for the guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng led a few people to the morgue, while Xi Ligui went to the study to call for the Steward, Imilo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, footsteps and Xi Ligui’s voice could be heard from the direction of the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imilo and the others walked straight down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a glance at the people present, he asked directly, “Where’s the body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team members lifted the white cloth on an iron bed, revealing the pirate’s body, mutilated and drained of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s begin!” said Imilo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng cast [Communicate with the Dead], and the corpse sat up from the iron bed, turning its head to look over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, two Investigators who had followed Imilo down also opened their notebooks, ready to begin recording.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What promises were made to you by the ‘blank envelope’ that you would design a trap to draw out Deputy Steward Wu Heng of Gold and Silver Island?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1703,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.488Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","84dd9515732f675ea2835f6489996b1129100e9890fb28fc58bcfb24bcbbc6cc","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-485","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-483",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
