MTL - Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse

Chapter 33, Night shift

 Slater….

Wu Heng tried hard to recall the name.

　　　I seem to have heard it somewhere.

 I quickly recalled in my mind that there were not many opportunities to come across the word "Mrs." in Blackstone Town.

I quickly remembered where I had heard of this name.

The name Mrs. Slater was mentioned by Kavina on the train returning from the mission in the mining village.

 The deputy deacon of the Blackstone Town Professionals Association and the female boss of Money Cat.

 They are really rich and powerful people in Blackstone Town.

The status in the association is also very special. Not only is he a deputy deacon, but he is also a "Secret Whisperer".

 Professionals who are good at and keen on collecting all kinds of intelligence.

Wu Heng glanced curiously and found that the other party was also looking at him curiously.

"Wu Heng, this is 'Slater', the deputy deacon of the association." Deacon Yazd introduced, and then said to the beautiful woman: "He is Wu Heng, he just joined the fourth team not long ago ”

"Oh? Are you the little necromancer who investigated the mining village?" Slater's eyes kept scanning, as if he wanted to see through something.

 There is undisguised interest in his eyes.

 “Slater, don’t tease him.” The deacon reminded from the side.

Slater looked away, still smiling and asked, "How did you kill the mercenaries of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?"

“It’s just a fluke. It’s mainly due to the captain and the investigation team.”

Slater was always observing him, still smiling, "Then how did you think of choosing the Necromancer?"

Are you trying to collect your own intelligence?

 But these questions are often asked by people, so just answer them accordingly.

"This is the only profession I found related to the mage, so I chose this one."

“Where are your skeletons? How many skeletons do you have?”

 “There is only one body.”

 “Not bad.” Slater said, lazily leaning on the sofa.

Several people present heard it.

This deputy deacon had a strong interest in Wu Heng. When the two met for the first time, they asked several questions in succession.

Seeing that Slater stopped talking, the deacon continued: "Okay, let's get down to business. The association will take unified action tonight..."

 Damn it!

There is really a mission.

Wu Heng was a little troubled.

Yazd continued: "Your team is small, so you don't need to participate in tonight's operation. You are responsible for the stay-behind association. The details of 'Oteluk' know, and they will be assigned to you then."

　　Huh~!

Wu Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought I was going to investigate some weird things.

 It's okay to work the night shift, that is, it only lasts for one night.

“Okay, that’s it, go back and get ready.”

 The three of them nodded and exited the study together.

 …

 The sky is dark.

 In the somewhat dim hall, a team of professionals gathered in the middle.

 Gathered together in small groups, everyone wearing armor and sword, ready for battle.

Not long after, Deacon Yazd came out from behind.

Said: "The target of this operation is 'Bawudong', the elder of the 'God's Punishment Sect', a level 12 professional, and several church backbones under his command. Our operation is to cooperate with the guards of Blackstone Town, but this operation It’s still dangerous, everyone should be careful, and everything should be done with safety in mind." Hearing these words, the faces of each team looked a little ugly.

 A level 12 professional is already considered a rare and powerful person.

 It actually appears in a small place like Blackstone Town.

At the same time, everyone also reacted.

No wonder I went to search the city for wanted criminals some time ago. They were probably searching for this person from the 'God's Punishment Sect'.

 It’s just that nothing was revealed at the time. Now that there are definite clues, it’s announced.

 A level 12 strong person is indeed an unstable factor.

 After the deacon gave two more instructions.

Someone walked in quickly from outside and said, "It's time to go."

"The fourth team will stay in the association, while the other teams will set off." The deacon waved his hand and led each team of professionals out of the association.

 Meet up with the passing guards and rush towards the north gate together.

 …

 The teams left and the hall fell into silence again.

Wu Heng asked Basson to close the door.

He asked casually: "Captain, is this elder of the Divine Punishment Sect very powerful? He sent out so many people."

Altluk thought for a moment before continuing: "I don't know much about the Divine Punishment Cult. I only know that they are active in a church in the eastern part of the kingdom. They were established by a group of fanatical believers. They often hold some sacrificial rituals and are famous. Messy.”

 There are many professions in this world that are linked to God.

 For example, a priest, or a warlock who also has a bad reputation.

 The career direction is to obtain or exchange power from the gods you believe in.

Wu Heng used to be an atheist, but he can travel between the two worlds with the key. It is not surprising that gods will appear in front of him one day.

Of course, it’s best not to provoke others.

“Then what are they doing in Blackstone Town?” Wu Heng continued to ask.

"It may have some purpose, or it may just be a stopover. I don't know the specific information, but people from the Divine Punishment Cult are always on the wanted list." Altluk said softly.

"Oh!" Wu Heng replied, not very interested in these things, so he changed the subject and said: "Captain, I have been practicing swordplay recently. If possible, can you give me some guidance?"

“Okay, you can practice it once and show me.”

Wu Heng immediately took out his iron sword and started practicing according to the movements he had made with Jian Yi before.

 “Raise your arms, your muscles are too stiff.” Altluk came over and continued.

Kavina stood aside, watching the two of them practice swordplay, and made three cups of fruit tea at the same time.

 …

  A house in a residential area.

The black-feathered crow flew into the window and landed accurately on a person's shoulder in the pitch-black room.

He stroked the crow with his skinny palm and said: "The guards and professional team of Blackstone Town left from the north city gate. Their destination should be the location we prepared. Four people were left by the Central Association."

 The curtains were opened, and the moonlight reflected the room. Under the weak moonlight, three men could be seen sitting around a round table.

One person is tall and burly, with a flat head and bare arms, another person is wearing leather armor and an iron sword hanging on his waist, and the last person is covered in black robes, with a black-feathered crow that just flew in falling on his shoulders.

 “Ha, a bunch of idiots.” The man in leather armor sneered.

The crow man did not answer, his eyes fell on the tall man, and continued: "'Elder Bawudong', considering a place like Blackstone Town, there should not be too many troops left in the city."

The man tilted his neck and continued: "Since the Professionals Association is so persistent in arresting us, let's give them a big gift now."

 “Then let’s get started.”

 The three of them got up and walked outside.
