Chapter 501, Unstable Rentam City
On the train.
Wu Heng sat on a long chair on one side with two skeleton attendants.
He began to think about the future development involuntarily.
Most of his senses disappeared, and he felt more focused.
Rentam City is doing well, and it must continue to develop. It can provide a part of the source of funds, and it is also a way out for himself.
If there is a problem with Treasure Island, retreating to 'Rentam City' and becoming a local emperor is actually a good choice.
This time, I have to help Wen Mansha deal with some potential dangers.
As for Treasure Island, the first thing is to be low-key. The association has given me identity and power, which is also a kind of shackle.
There must be no adverse effects, especially since my profession has certain prejudices.
The second point is the smooth flow of routes and the security on the island, which will attract more wealthy merchants to the island and increase trade. I can also get a lot of resources and benefits from it.
The last point is the construction of the island.
It is actually not bad to replicate Rentam City and build a singing and dancing place like the Golden Cat on the island.
After all, the acceptance of Golden Cat in the market has been verified in Rentam City.
As for the zombie world.
The development direction has not changed much, upgrading, collecting gold, and collecting some related talents.
The power plant and some modern equipment will be gradually restored.
To facilitate the development of the two worlds.
This time, the killing of Boss Huang also shows that the ability of the survivors in the zombie world is still not high.
Even if there are superpowers, they are still not comparable to myself, a professional who continues to upgrade.
As long as I am not targeted by hot weapons, no one can be my opponent.
Moreover, the strongholds of several cities in the north and the shelters rely on myself to exchange food.
Whoever dares to target me will be scolded to death if it is spread out.
I thought about it quickly in my heart.
I took out the skill book of "Luxury House Technique" prepared in advance and started to read it.
On the train, I can still see things with my eyes.
I also took this opportunity to read this book again.
I still feel a little unwilling that I haven't unlocked the skills.
But I spent a lot of money to buy it.
…
Seven days later.
The ghost train appeared from the void and stopped at an open space in the wild woods.
It was winter here, the trees were dry, and there were some animal footprints and bloodstains on the snow on the ground.
Wu Heng got off the train with two skeleton attendants.
He took a deep breath.
The ghost train disappeared, and he felt hungry, thirsty, and had a strong bloating.
He found a tree and went to the bathroom.
He took out the food he had prepared in advance and ate two bites.
Even if the ghost train was fast, he had to pay attention to the time, otherwise he would starve to death on the train without feeling anything.
After all the problems were solved, Wu Heng looked around.
It was all dense woods, and he couldn't tell the direction, so he couldn't find the direction of 'Rentam City'.
With a thought, two ghosts flew out.
One on the left and one on the right, floating on both sides.
"Uncle, have we arrived?" Xiao Xiao asked.
Grenda also looked over curiously.
"We should be there, but we don't know where this is. Look in the air in the direction of Rentam City and where the road is?" Wu Heng said.
The two ghosts nodded and flew up into the sky immediately.
Not long after, Xiao Xiao flew down first and shouted, "Rentam City is over there. It has changed a lot. It is several times bigger than when we left."
"Really?"
"Yeah, uncle, the city has become better since you left."
"What are you talking about? It's as if I stopped the city from developing."
Xiao Xiao smiled mischievously, "I didn't say that."
Grenda flew back a little late and said, "There is a caravan over there. The highest is only level 10. You can take a carriage and learn about the situation on the way."
The caravans here are basically transported by carriages.
A level 10 professional as an accompanying guard is already a large team.
For me, there is not much threat.
Grenda has arranged it for me.
Good guy.
"Where?"
"That way, wait for a while on the roadside."
Wu Heng nodded, walked to the roadside with the skeleton attendant, and two ghosts followed him, hiding their figures.
Not long after, a caravan slowly appeared in sight.
...
The caravan saw three people standing on the roadside from a distance.
The accompanying guards began to be alert, with swords unsheathed and crossbows strung.
"What are you doing here?"
Several professionals wearing cotton armor walked over quickly and stopped five meters away, "What are you doing?"
Wu Heng said: "We are going to Rentam City. The road is difficult to walk. Can you give us a ride? We can pay."
"How did you get here?" The other party continued to ask.
"We are from the Kingdom of Yeko. We want to go to Rentam City. There was an accident on the road, and there are only three of us left." Wu Heng replied.
Among the few people in the conversation, two of them immediately separated and ran quickly to the caravan behind.
At the same time, the trained animals flew up from the direction of the convoy and circled in the surrounding woods.
After confirming that there was no ambush in the forest.
The convoy pressed on the snow and walked over little by little.
A man who was obviously better dressed walked over, looked him up and down, and then looked at the tightly covered figure behind him.
"Okay, you can sit in the carriage, but we are almost to Luntam City." The man said.
"Thank you." Wu Heng got on the carriage, with two skeletons following on both sides.
After walking for a while, I casually chatted with the other party.
Then he inquired and asked: "They say that business in the city is good and the public security is safe. Is this true?"
The businessman turned around and looked at him, "Are you in business too?"
Wu Heng was wearing a cloak and cotton clothes.
But judging from his appearance, he looked more like a young master who had never experienced hardship. After all, even the tables in the house were moved by skeletons, and he didn't need to do anything.
"Ah! Can you make a fortune?" Wu Heng asked jokingly.
"Haha~! What business are you doing?" The man smiled, and the guards around him also looked over with smiles.
"The entertainment industry means pubs, opera houses and the like."
The man thought for a moment and said: "The public security was pretty good before, and the city was developing very quickly, but something is different recently. Some rumors are spreading in the city, and fewer powerful and powerful businessmen come here to have fun."
"What rumors?"
The man pondered for a moment and explained softly, "The real owner of this city is not Mrs. Wen Mansha, but one of the original association captains. Later, he was transferred away, and this place was managed by Mrs. Wen Mansha. Rumor has it that this captain is in There are level 18 professionals outside who want to destroy the city.
Some people say that this city is an experimental warehouse for necromancers. If you need living creatures for experiments, just capture a few. "
Wu Heng frowned slightly.
How did the matter with the level 18 professional get here?
"seriously?"
"There are rumors and so on, but recently there have been a lot of gangs, which are more chaotic than before."
"Then you still come here to do business?" Wu Heng continued to ask.
The other party smiled and said, "I know that the former Luntam City is very good now. It is much better than when Erno ruled."
Erno is the name of the original city lord.
Wu Heng nodded, but did not continue to ask.
From what the other party said, all he knew were rumors, which were not very credible.
But about the level 18 professionals, I'm afraid someone came here on purpose.
After entering the city, I still have to ask 'Wen Mansha' what happened.
As the convoy approaches.
A city that was more majestic and vast than what he had imagined appeared in front of him.
If you look carefully, you can still see the inner city, the outer city and the outer city.
However, the area outside the city is larger, several times larger than before.
The buildings are scattered and the streets are winding.
Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians came and went on the road, while vendors setting up stalls were on both sides.
In the outer city and inner city, you can see towering arrow towers and towers, and flags fluttering in the wind.
"It's spectacular!" The businessman smiled and continued: "The most important thing about the outer city area is the excitement. The outer city area and the inner city area are the best places. The ground is made of bluestone, and there are magic light stones along the road. The night is brighter than the day. There are also many good shops there that are open late. ”
Wu Heng looked at the city and nodded.
…
City Lord's Mansion.
Wen Mansha sat on the city lord's throne.
On the left is a skeleton mage wearing a mage robe, and on the right is a skeleton warrior with heavy armor and a long sword.
The housekeeper, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a black dress, walked over from the side and said softly: "Madam, two more officials from the city hall have submitted their resignations."
Wen Mansha hesitated for a moment, then said: "Pay them the money and escort them out of the city."
"Yes, ma'am."
Tap tap tap~!
While the two were talking.
Footsteps sounded, and three figures walked in from outside.
One person walked in front, followed by two skeletons, carrying a corpse.
Wen Mansha and the housekeeper looked at the body on the ground at the same time.
"Sister-in-law!" the younger brother shouted, glancing at the housekeeper beside him.
The men of the City Lord's Mansion are divided into two groups.
One is a former member of the Spike Gang, or someone who arranged for Calais before Wu Heng left.
Including the tribesmen of 'Anderweil' and some cooperative armor and weapons store owners.
They are all relatively trustworthy.
The rest are the personnel recruited after taking the position of city lord.
City Hall management, some patrol guards.
The staff is relatively mixed and it is an employment relationship.
Wen Mansha followed his gaze and said, "It's okay, just tell me!"
The younger brother nodded and said: "The informant who arranged for the outer city was killed and died on the way into the inner city."
The Spike Gang used to start by selling information.
Now we have also trained some informants and arranged them in the outer city and outer districts.
Wen Mansha glanced sideways and said, "Zi Gu, go over and ask about the corpse."
The skeleton necromancer beside him walked out directly and came to the corpse to release [Conversation with the Dead].
The stiff body that fell to the ground slowly sat up.
Broken pieces of ice fell off clothes.
Wen Mansha looked at the body and asked, "Who killed you."
The corpse spoke slowly, "A thief, whose appearance I didn't quite see clearly."
"Do you have any information that you want to tell us?"
The corpse replied, "The Wind and Fire Party has organized several other gangs to attack the inner city tonight."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
"Are they worthy?" the younger brother said coldly.
There are two skeletons above level 15 in the City Lord's Mansion, and there are guns that shoot bullets.
Whatever the gangs wanted to do, they were all destroyed.
What else do they want to do.
Wen Mansha continued to ask the corpse: "What else do you know about the gangs?"
The corpse replied stiffly, "There are many high-level professionals in the gang. They are not afraid of the skeletons in the City Lord's Mansion, nor are they afraid of the fourth-level skeletons in the City Lord's Mansion."
Wen Mansha narrowed her eyes slightly.
The younger brother and the housekeeper also looked serious.
Not afraid of the fourth-level skeletons.
So, they also have high-level professionals.
