Chapter 268: Chapter 225, Meeting People_1

Upon hearing Wu Heng ask once again.

The Moliao owner still spoke, “Captain Wu Heng, our armor shop is naturally willing to cooperate with you. Just tell us what kind of armor you need, and we will start working on it right away.”

People from the Moliao Armour Shop came back at this time.

The main reason was to maintain Wu Heng as a customer.

For a business owner, customers like Wu Heng, who purchases without limit and pays in full cash, are hard to find throughout the city.

Maintaining one of such customers, the shop doesn’t even need to open for other businesses, just focusing on producing the required armor is enough.

Wu Heng nodded and said, “Mr. Glask is indeed straightforward. I’ll leave the issue of armor to you. Continue making the integrated armor as before, but the design should be revamped to distinguish it from Iron Guard Knights.”

The Moliao owner stroked his chin, “When I get back, I’ll have someone come up with a design. You can choose the style you like at that time.”

“Good!” Wu Heng nodded and turned his gaze to the owner of the weapon shop, “What about you, have you made up your mind?”

“No, I also choose to cooperate with you. Just tell me what kind of weapons you need, and I’ll arrange for someone to work on them immediately,” the weapon shop owner replied.

Hearing the agreement, Wu Heng also nodded.

Whether here or in the Zombie World.

A vast amount of weapons and armor is indeed needed. This is also a good opportunity to form a team that can provide a continuous supply.

“For humans, make them in the style of iron swords. For Beastmen, go with battle axes. Besides, I also need a lot of crossbows and arrows,” Wu Heng said.

He had some firearms and bullets, but the number of bullets was reducing with each use.

They were hardly used during normal times.

And skeleton spears are useful against independent zombies.

For city defense, crossbows are more practical.

The owner looked at Wu Heng and said, “The weapons sold to the City Lord’s Mansion are all at the lowest market price. A high-quality iron sword is 22 silver coins each, and a strong crossbow is 45 silver coins. This price…”

“As long as the quality can be guaranteed, I can accept this price.”

The weapon shop owner breathed a sigh of relief, “Alright, I will arrange for someone to start making them as soon as I return.”

“Yes, if you need anything, you can come to me directly.”

“Sure, Captain, we’ll go back and prepare to start work now.”

Wu Heng nodded, the two Beastmen owners stood up and walked towards the exit.

After they left the guild’s doors,

The weapon shop owner whispered, “We have seriously upset the City Lord with this.”

“Since when did you become so timid? If you don’t offend him, the Iron Guard Knights’ order would not come to us. It’s better to cooperate with this Captain,” Moliao owner said.

“Hmm, you’re right.”

“This Captain, he is rich and powerful, there’s no way he’s not a match for Ereno, don’t worry!” Moliao’s owner reassured.

“You mean he has a background?”

“Of course, Gomez has been in the city for many years, have you ever seen him take over half a city? There must be something we don’t know.”

That’s right when they thought about it.

“Then let’s go, let’s start work as soon as possible.”

As the two Beastmen whispered, they hastened their pace to leave.

After the two left,

Duke took out a pie from his arms, ate while talking, “Captain, recently the executive hasn’t been giving us any tasks.”

After the Hammer Party’s incident, all the small teams started to get busy.

However, the 12th team had been quiet, like they were on vacation, without any task assignments.

Wen Mansha was busy with matters in the city and hadn’t passed over any fugitive information either.

Wu Heng felt this kind of life was pretty good.

If it could continue like this, he wouldn’t have to consider becoming the vice-executive anymore.

Facing Duke’s question,

Wu Heng said, “We just got credited for three merits. Resting for a while is normal. We should also give other teams some opportunities.”

“Oh, I see.”

Wu Heng glanced at Duke and continued, “If you feel there’s nothing to do, you can head over to Wen Mansha’s place and lead a team of skeletons in street patrols.”

“That’s fine too, but what does patrol do?”

“Just to see if anyone is causing trouble, catching thieves and such.”

“Oh okay, then if there’s nothing to do, I’ll go on patrol.”

Wu Heng nodded.

After sitting in the resting room for a while,

There was nothing else to do, so they left the guild directly.

The sky gradually darkened.

Crack, crack, crack~!

The erected street lamps suddenly emitted dazzlingly bright rays of light.

They lit up the entire area.

More and more residents and tavern guests gathered around.

Looking up at the bright street lamps.

“What’s this thing that’s so bright?”

“Something set up by the Pinned Gang, I thought they were going to hang some flags, but they turned out something so bright.”

“It must be a magic tool, they actually put a magic tool here.”

“It’s a lot brighter than the Illuminating Stone.”

“Damn, who’s so rich to put such a thing here.”

The crowd was pointing at the bright street lamp and whispering discussions.

Apparently, they were seeing this kind of thing for the first time, and also surprised that someone would place a magic item here.

As more people gathered, a large number of Tamed Beasts appeared circling above the street lamp.

But everyone only observed from a distance. Under the guard of the skeleton soldiers, no one dared to approach and cause trouble.

Wu Heng, accompanied by several maidservants, stood atop the city walls, gazing downwards.

The darker it got, the better the street lamps functioned.

They illuminated a vast area.

“Master, are these the street lamps? Why place them here? They would be better suited at home,” Mini commented.

It seemed quite unworthwhile to her that their master was spending money on street lamps for the Outer City Area.

“The one we have at home is the same kind; they’re all the same,” Wu Heng remarked.

Wen Mansha was also taken aback by the effect of the street lamps. Unlike Mini, she was aware of Wu Heng’s plans for citywide deployment.

If these street lamps were installed throughout both city sectors…

The city would look as bright as day, even at night.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Within the Inner City Area of the Eastern District.

The carriage of the Snake Badge Consortium came to a halt.

From outside the carriage came the voice of a guard, “Miss, some people are blocking the way up ahead. We’ll have to wait a moment.”

Leaning against a corner of the carriage, Laisia lazily asked, “What’s the matter? Did the gangs start fighting again?”

“No, someone has set up a magic tool ahead, attracting quite a crowd of residents,” the guard continued.

A magic tool?

In the Outer City Area?

Who would do such a thing?

Curiosity piqued, Laisia pushed aside the carriage curtain. The split second she did, a beam of bright light extended into the carriage, causing the Illuminating Stone hanging from the ceiling to suddenly appear dim and yellowish.

Following the beam of light, she looked skywards.

The glaring bright light hung in mid-air.

Laisia’s eyes widened in disbelief.

At that moment, she had a good guess at who would do such a thing.

“He really did hang the sun up in the sky.”

The night passed.

In the Outer City Area, there were two pedestrians walking side by side.

“I told you it would keep glowing all night, pay up. You lost the bet.”

“Yeah, right. You know I don’t need your money. If I’d known, I would’ve shot it down with an arrow last night.”

“You’re not as good as me then. I had my Tamed Beast poop on it last night.”

In front of a shop.

“It couldn’t have been a demonstration of a product for sale, right?”

“Who would give demonstrations in the Outer City Area? Besides, could you even afford to buy it if they did?”

“I will check if it’s still there tonight. If it is, I plan to sell dried fruits over there. With so many people, business will definitely be good.”

“I heard some of the Pinned Gang guys saying that it captures daylight and releases it at night.”

“Oh, right. I was wondering why it was so bright. Turns out it’s sunlight.”

“Exactly, my vision is still blurry.”

Whether they were residents of the Outer City Area or the elites from the Inner City Area…

Everyone was discussing the mysterious glowing object. Its purpose, as well as what kind of object they thought it was.

Reaching this kind of illumination effect in such a vast space…

Clearly, it was no ordinary magic tool.

At the very least, it hadn’t been seen locally or in nearby cities before.

And its price would undoubtedly be hefty.

Overnight, this new kind of magic tool had become the city’s hot topic.

Even those who hadn’t seen it from the two southwestern city sectors planned to go there in groups tonight to take a look.

At the border of Yeko Kingdom.

A small team waited silently at the side of the road.

An eagle garbed in leather armor kept circling in the sky. After a few turns, it descended sharply. Just before landing, it transformed into a pretty girl with curly hair, who alighted lightly onto the open ground next to the carriage.

The horses became scared and began to neigh, prompting the coachman to quickly try to calm them.

“Aunt, do you think he miscalculated the time? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?” the girl, resting against the carriage, asked somewhat displeasedly.

The mature and exquisite face of a woman appeared as the carriage curtain was lifted. “Can’t wait any longer? I did say not to bring you along, but you insisted on coming.”

“No, it’s just… I feel like he’s not punctual, leaving us waiting here for him,” the girl replied.

“Let’s wait a bit longer. If he doesn’t show by noon, we’ll go to him directly,” the woman proposed.

“Then why didn’t we go directly to him in the first place? Why do we have to wait for him?” the girl continued to question.

“I already informed him about the time in my letter. If we both took the wrong way, he would have made a wasted journey.”

The girl nodded, “That’s true. He is rather troublesome.”

While she complained, her eyes continued to eagerly scan the far-off horizon.

Suddenly, a cloud of dust arose on the road off in the distance.

It was as if a beast was rushing towards them at high speed.

The security team by the carriage immediately went on alert. Even the guards on the city walls began to gather and take precautions.

Squeak~!

A harsh braking sound rang out. The wheels skidded across the ground, coming to a halt after about two to three meters.

As the dust cleared, a figure appeared, along with a strange vehicle and a few large figures following behind.

“Oh, Yuli is here too,” he called.
