MTL - Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse

Chapter 358, Spouse Control

 Hiragui left, and Wu Heng went directly to the deacon's study.

Knocked lightly on the door, pushed it open and walked in.

Imiro was still sitting behind the desk, sorting documents in his hands.

He looked up at him and asked, "Why didn't you ask about the corpse yesterday?"

"There are some other clues, so I am not in a hurry to ask about the corpse." Wu Heng said.

"It involves framing the deputy deacon of the association, which is not a trivial matter. Don't delay the progress of the case." Imiro put the document aside and reminded him.

 This is saying that he kept the body and did not conduct an interrogation.

"I understand." Wu Heng continued to explain: "This body landed on the island from the freighter after I was suspended from duty, so the important clue is the murderer of the steward of the Bucks Merchant Group."

 “Any clues now?”

 “There are only some scattered clues and we are still investigating!”

Imiro glanced at him and said, "I'll give you one day."

"clear!"

 “Well, go over there and share the spoils with Moya!”

"good!"

 …

Moya came over from one side.

 Hand out his hand and wave it on the coffee table.

 Yesterday’s spoils of war are placed on the table in sequence.

 Weapons and armor, prop scrolls, a bag of gold coins, a large number of silver coins and a book.

There are many kinds, and the number of gold coins far exceeds that of silver coins.

“Two strange objects, six magic props, 13 scrolls, and one book.” Moya said from the side.

Wu Heng focused his attention on the strange object.

In addition to seeing the [Mist Evil Sword (wonderful item)] yesterday, the other one is [Thug Armguard (wonderful item)].

 【Thug Armguards (Wonderful Item)】

  【Effect: The wearer moves more quickly. 】

  【Side effects: reduced sanity. 】

  (Description: Strength should be faced head-on.)

 The second magical item is a magical item that helps with mobility, but the price is also high.

 Losing one’s mind.

 Such strange objects that have an impact on people's mental state are actually quite fatal.

 Battle is not only a duel of force, but also a game of thinking and tactics.

 The more you hit your mind, the empty it will become, which is quite fatal.

“The Ningwu Evil Sword is a very famous sword. Its function is that it can appear behind the target in battle. The side effect is that it affects the user’s psychological state.”

“The second item is the Thug Armguard, which allows the user to move faster in combat, but the side effect is that it makes the user prone to impulsiveness.”

Moya saw him looking at two strange objects and introduced them softly.

Wu Heng nodded and looked at the magic props.

There are many types of magic props, and two of them are still single-edged swords, with the magical effects of sharpness and armor-piercing.

The remaining magic props are [space ring (5 cubic meters)] [face-covering cloak] [flint ring] [magic incense burner].

 The number of props is still quite large.

  But it is not of great use to myself.

The eyes continued to look back, past several disposable magic scrolls, and finally landed on the last book [Magic Tattoo].

At that time, when he was fighting with ‘Kerimu’, the opponent’s tattoo showed a rather strange fighting style.

Furthermore, by moving close to the ground, it is difficult for physical attacks to affect this kind of tattoo.

 It seems that it should have something to do with this book.

 Did he get the tattoo himself?

 Tattoo one hand on the other arm?

Moya gave a general introduction, mainly introducing rare objects and magic props, and continued: "The most valuable thing here is the evil sword. Weapon-like rare objects are rare and expensive. My suggestion is that the evil sword counts. One share, and the remaining rare items and props count as another share.”

Wu Heng frowned.

 The value of this evil sword is so high!

 One piece is worth all the other props.

"I have no opinion!"

 “Well, you choose first!” Moya said.

Wu Heng said directly: "Then I'm not polite, I choose this evil sword."

 I have several rare items in my hand, but their effects are mostly auxiliary.

 For example, the invisibility effect of the shroud, the phantom effect of the veil, and the missing person effect of the tracking pendant.

 Once engaged in battle, it is difficult to show much effect.

 And this evil sword, even if I am not very good at swordsmanship.

 Using that move to suddenly appear behind the enemy can also bring a certain threat.

 At least scare the other person.

Moya didn't say much, he just put away the other items and handed the evil sword to him, "It's yours."

 “Thank you!” Wu Heng took it and put it into the space ring.

 The transaction is completed.

Wu Heng stood up and said, "Deacon, I have chosen."

“Well, hurry up and resolve the matter with the Bucks Chamber of Commerce.”

 “Understood!” Wu Heng nodded and exited the study room directly.

 …

 Leaving the deacon's study, Wu Heng went directly to his office study.

Picked up the skeleton investigator's record and looked at it. There is still no important record.

 It seemed that Kalema was in the room by himself and didn't talk much.

He took out the newly exchanged evil sword and looked at it carefully.

 Pull out the scabbard.

The blade of the sword is sharp and carries a fierce killing intent.

 Hands out two swordsmanship exercises in the middle space.

Said softly: "I don't know, what is Imiro's strength?"

As soon as the words are spoken.

Wu Heng was suddenly startled, and his hair stood up instantly.

 Just for a moment, the idea of ​​challenging ‘Imiro’ did arise in my mind.

　　I have become brave.

　　A person who deterred pirates from landing, and was placed on Treasure Island by the association to intimidate the island owner.

 Why do you want to challenge the other party?

 Then, his eyes fell on the weapon in his hand.

  【Side effects: Affects the holder's character. 】

 Is this what you mean?

 This weapon affects me?

“I have a strengthened will, how can it still affect me?”

 Throwed the weapon in his hand on the table.

This thing is really evil.

Maybe it would be better if I actually went to find Imiro with my sword. The other person would at most think that I was crazy, beat myself up, and then investigate the reason.

 If you challenge other strong men, you may die without knowing how.

 …

　　咚咚咚~!

As soon as Wu Heng sat down at the desk, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

The door opened, and a woman in a gray cloak walked in with her head lowered.

 Hurry through the door and take off the hood.

Millicent, Philippa's mother.

 “Lord Archdeacon!” Millicent saluted respectfully.

 It can be seen that Millicent looks very good.

 My mental state is also much better than before.

 “What’s wrong?” Wu Heng asked.

 In terms of gathering information, it is actually more dangerous for her to come directly.

 Once someone is following you or you are recognized by someone.

 It is easy for someone to find out something.

"Sir, a dwarf guest checked out today. When we were cleaning up his room, we found these." Millicent took out a few things from the satchel on one side.

 A black wig, some rag strips, and various wooden strips, like parts of something.

Black hair?

Dwarf?

  The dwarf is short in stature and is completely incompatible with the three people who imitate him.

 But it is obviously related to this matter.

“You said he checked out? Where did he go?” Wu Heng asked directly.

Millicent replied, "He headed towards the port, probably intending to leave the island."

Wu Heng nodded, began to put on leather armor, and said, "Do you know which ship it is?"

"have no idea!"

"Well, you did a good job on this matter. You go back first. I will come back to you after this matter is dealt with." Wu Heng said directly.

 “Yes, sir.”

Millicent put on his hood and left. When Wu Heng and others were ready, he also took the 'Cracked Skull' out.

 Take the association's carriage and head towards the port.

 …

On the way, Shiragui led the team and was still asking about the tavern.

 The carriage stopped and Wu Heng stuck his head out, "Xila Gui, we have a clue."

Sheila Gui looked up and frowned, "What clue."

 “You come up first!”

 Sheila Gui opened the car door and sat in.

Wu Heng directly stated the information he received. Millicent was not mentioned, only that the intelligence revealed a dwarf and a black wig.

Sheila Gui nodded, opened the curtain and said to the team outside: "Let's go to the port together."

 The carriage started moving again and headed towards the port.

 …

 All the way to the port.

 Several people went to the area where the ship management was located.

Seeing that the people in the association were in a bad mood, the ship management was also a little nervous.

“My lords, what are your orders?”

Sheilagui said: "Are there any ships leaving today? When will they be?"

 “Several ships left duty in the morning.”

“What kind of ships will be leaving next?”

 The ship steward immediately flipped through the record book and said: "No. 5, No. 7, No. 9, in the afternoon it will be No. 11..."

Several people listened one by one,

With a thought in Wu Heng's mind, Glenda and Xiaoxiao flew out of the body, becoming invisible, and flew towards the corresponding base ship port.

Sheelagui also ordered: "For each ship in a team, find a dwarf wearing a blue-grey robe and a hood."

"Yes." The teams quickly separated and headed towards the cargo ship.

 Soon, Glenda and Xiaoxiao flew back from a distance.

 It penetrated directly into the body.

 The next second, the image of Glenda was shared in my mind.

 The dark cabin.

The dwarf was sitting on the wooden bed, leaning on his legs, waiting for the boat to sail.

 A pair of eyes kept scanning towards the hatch of the ship, looking a little wary.

it's him!

“No. 7!” Wu Heng said.

 Everyone quickly followed and boarded the ship together.

 …

 A single room in a ship's cabin.

The dwarf sat on the wooden bed, his arms resting on his knees, waiting silently.

 There is the sound of footsteps in the corridor, and you will look nervously at the door.

 He also heard about what happened in the past two days.

●The association’s investigation has become more and more strict recently, and the people who hired it have disappeared.

 “As long as I get out of here, I’ll be safe!”

The dwarf took a deep breath to calm himself down.

 But I still felt some regret in my heart for wading into this muddy water.

 Tap tap tap~! 1

 Suddenly, dense footsteps sounded again.

  The dwarf's heart immediately became tense.

 While listening attentively.

There was a loud bang.

The door to the room was suddenly kicked open.

 Members of the squad, blocking the door, weapons facing each other.

The dwarf's face changed drastically, but he maintained his composure and said, "My lords, what happened? This seems to be the room I have reserved."

Wu Heng looked him up and down and asked, "You don't know me? You still think the association can't find you."

The dwarf's expression changed, and he threw his hands forward, spreading his fingers.

 Two large-headed puppets with exaggerated shapes rushed straight towards them.

 Suddenly, the puppets opened their mouths, one spit out black grease, and the other spit out flames.

 Hush~boom!

 In an instant, an explosion sounded.

 In the cabin, flames suddenly burst into the sky.

The team members who were blocking the door also scattered in all directions to avoid the fire.

The dwarf turned his fingers again, and another dog-shaped puppet was released from the space ring.

　　Riding on his back, he lowered his head and rushed out.

"You losers, if you have the ability to catch 'Ewald', don't put your efforts on me."

The dwarf shouted, riding on the back of the puppet, running quickly.

The fire was still spreading inside the cabin.

Wu Heng looked at the retreating figure, immediately took out his rifle and pulled the trigger.

ˆBang bang bang~!

 The bullets roared out and hit the target accurately.

 Blood spattered everywhere, and the dwarf fell off the puppet, staggering to his feet again, still trying to operate his fingers.

Hiragui stepped lightly, and her body turned into a black shadow and shot out, pushing the dwarf away again.

 The sword is at the throat.

"Damn it! I, I admit it." The dwarf vomited blood and said loudly.

 The equipment on his body was taken off.

 People were also detained by members of the squad.

“Evacuate the crowd, organize personnel to put out the fire, and a small team will take people back with me.” Sheila Gui ordered again.

"yes!"

 A small team escorted the people away, and the rest began to organize people to put out the fire.

 …

 In a dark cell.

　　Imiro, Moya, and Kalema, two investigators came down from upstairs.

Wu Heng stepped forward and explained what had just happened.

Several people also cast their eyes on the dwarf in the dungeon.

The dwarf turned over and sat up, looking outside.

“Humph, come to see your father? I have the right to enter and leave the island freely. If you arrest me for no reason, I will report you to the association.” The dwarf yelled.

 Already recognized him on the ship, but when he arrived at the association dungeon, he immediately changed his mind.

Wu Heng glanced aside.

Imiro raised his hands and said directly: "Kill the corpse!"

 Obviously, this incident has exhausted his patience.

Hearing these words, the dwarf's face changed instantly and said: "Imilo, you are crazy. The association does not allow random killings."

 “Kill!” Imiro said directly.

  Swish, swish, swish.

Several arrows were shot through the iron bars.

 The dwarf's body was instantly pierced, and the dwarf fell to the ground with shock and fear on his face.

 Wu Heng directly released [Conversation with the Dead], and the corpse sat up from the ground.

“Who killed the Buck Steward four days ago?” Wu Heng asked.

"I!"

 “In what way did you kill?” Wu Heng continued to ask.

 The corpse replied, "I controlled three puppets, imitated you, and killed the target."

　　When asked here, the whole context of the world has become clear.

 The reason why there are three people.

 In fact, the dwarf controlled three puppets, imitating the appearance of Wu Heng and the skeleton attendant.

 The light was dim at the time, and it was difficult to discern more clues from the corpse before it died.

 Easily pointed the direction to the only necromancer of the Treasure Island Association.

During the investigation, Shilagui mentioned that the footprints of a person, and the feet were relatively small, were also due to the fact that the dwarf put away the puppets and escaped alone.

They were all done by the dwarf himself, and the direction he checked was always three people.

 The investigators kept recording behind them.

Wu Heng continued to ask: "Why did you frame me?"

The dwarf replied, "Ewald promised me a sum of money."

 “What did he tell you?”

 “Let me imitate your figure, and I don’t need to worry about the rest.”

 Last question.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Tell me the full identity of this 'Ewald'."

 “Ewald, captain of the Oruch.”

 After answering the last sentence, the body lay back on the ground with a thud.

 …

 The dungeon fell into silence again.

Imiro said directly: "Notify the port that the Oruch cargo ship is not allowed to leave its post and search for the person 'Ewald'."

 “Yes!” Everyone nodded.

"Imiro, you should be more careful about this Treasure Island. These people actually plotted against the deputy deacon." Kalema, the special envoy of the inspector, said with a smile.

Imiro nodded, "Before, I only paid attention to pirate matters. It seems that we should also manage the local security."

Kalema continued to look at Wu Heng and said: "The matter has been investigated clearly, and Wu Heng's status as deputy deacon will be restored from now on."

 “Thank you!” Wu Heng expressed his thanks.

"I removed you from your post because of some professional prejudices. Deputy Deacon Wu Heng, just don't blame me." Kalema sighed.

“No way, we all work according to the process.”

 “Yeah!” Kalema nodded and walked outside with Imiro.

 …

Wu Heng and Xila Gui followed.

Sheila Gui said: "This Kalema is not that annoying, and he even apologized to you."

"yes!"

   Thanks to 08a for the tip
