Chapter 97: Chapter 96, Wait for Two Years_1
Wu Heng understood what Slyther meant.
He hadn’t been in the guild for long, and was quite young. Being transferred to a place outside the kingdom, he might face many uncertainties, and to put it bluntly, might even lose his life.
If he chose to stay, Slyther could let Wu Heng take Anel’s position, as the captain of a team.
His status and conditions would remain the same, and he would be in a peaceful environment.
This was a kind intention, actually, Slyther still seemed to care for him.
If this had been when he first came to Black Stone Town, or even just half a month ago,
Wu Heng would have accepted Slyther’s kindness, choosing to stay and slowly develop in a safe environment.
But now things were different.
The Yeko Kingdom’s restrictions on necromancers had already hindered his progress.
To continue to improve, he needed to make some changes.
If he stayed in Black Stone Town, even if he took the position of Trustee, he could not change the kingdom’s view of necromancers.
Going out to a new environment, a city that had limited restrictions on Necromancers was the best choice.
Yazde should have considered this when arranging things.
He quickly thought it through in his mind.
He then said flatly, “Thankyou for your kindness, Executor. I think I will respect the main office’s arrangement for now, and when I get a chance, I can apply to comeback.”
Slyther glanced at him with beautiful eyes.
She still sighed and said, “Alright, then you will go there for two years first, and then I will apply to bring you back.”
It looked like,
Having just taken the position of Trustee, it would be a bit difficult to keep Wu Heng here.
In Black Stone Town, she might have some say, but compared to the behemoth of the Adventurer’s Guild, she seemed insignificant.
Wait two more years until her position is secure, then bring Wu Heng back.
“Sure.” Wu Heng nodded with a smile.
Slyther continued: “Yazde’s body has already been cremated. I had someone notify you, but you weren’t home at the time. There really wasn’t much to see actually, it would just add to the sadness. The road ahead you have to walk yourself.”
During the daytime, Wu Heng was in the Zombie World and didn’t actually know about Yazde’ s body being cremated.
But it didn’t matter.
He didn’t have any emotional attachment to him, and going to the site would actually require him to put on a show.
More importantly, using ‘Communicate with the Dead’ on the corpse would have meant it couldn’t be converted into an undead soldier.
“Um, as long as everything goes well, I don’t think Executor Yazde would want to see us sad for him.”
“Um!” Slyther nodded, and then she took out several other items, and said: “This is your train ticket to Lundham. The train departs the day after tomorrow morning. Now that you’ve chosen to go, don’t be late.”
Then she pointed to a few other items. “These are the items Yazde left behind and they’re nowyours.”
Wu Heng put the ticket away and turned his attention to the other items.
There were the deeds to the house in Black Stone Town and the wooden staff.
The other things were in the Space Ring, which Wu Heng had already taken away.
When there were many people around, he would put the ring away, other times he would wear it on his hand.
“Thanks. About this deed… I’m leaving here soon, and it doesn’t really serve me much purpose. Trustee, can you find a buyer for me and just sell it?” Wu Heng said directly.
Slyther’s eyes widened, “Didn’t you agree that you’d come back after two years? You might need it.”
This was Yazde’ s residence.
Whether he would actually be back was still up in the air.
Wu Heng’s thinking was that he could better use the money now.
“Two years is not a short time, it’s not good for the house to be vacant for so long.”
Slyther thought for a moment, then said, “I’ll keep an eye on it for you and arrange for someone to clean it up from time to time, let’s keep the house for now.”
“That’s fine!” Wu Heng didn’t argue over this.
“Don’t forget the departure time of the train, go back and prepare early!”
“Oh, okay. Then I’ll get going.” Wu Heng stood up.
“Yes, call Cavinahere, I have her transfer papers here too.”
“Okay!”
So Cavina was also being transferred.
The members of the fourth team were being split up.
After leaving the office, Wu Heng came to the team’s lounge.
Pushing the door open, he saw Yuli and Cavina sitting on the side chatting.
“Captain isn’t here yet?” Wu Heng asked.
“Um, both of them have already left.” Cavina answered.
Yuli added, “She might have gone shopping with Captain Tulisa!”
Cavina also revealed a smile.
Wu Heng continued, “Cavina, the steward wants to speak with you.”
“Ah? Did he say what it’s about?” Cavina asked.
The tasks completed by the fourth team were quite satisfactory, so she may be directly transferred to lead a team.
“He didn’t say, it probably has something to do with the upcoming reassignment, you should go and see!” Wu Heng said directly.
“Oh, okay!” Cavina then left the room.
Wu Heng and Yuli also departed from the guild.
They headed towards the commercial street.
Yuli asked, “What did my aunt tell you?”
“I’ve been reassigned to a city called ‘Lundham,’ to serve as a team leader,” Wu Heng said directly.
“Ah? You’re going to be a team leader? And you’re going to ‘Lundham’?” Yuli was somewhat surprised.
“Have you heard of this place?”
“No, but my aunt asked me to read books and learn about it,” Yuli replied.
“Tell me about it.”
Yuli organized her thoughts and spoke, “Lundham cannot be considered a city, it’s a relay station established at the border between two countries.”
“A relay for what?”
“That means, this place belongs to no particular power. Initially, it was established to provide a transit point for merchant caravans. Gradually, it evolved into a sort of city. I heard it’s quite chaotic. It lacks defined rules, and it has even attracted some fugitives and criminals.”
Yazde sure knows how to pick a place.
A no-man’s land at the intersection of cities.
After Yuli finished speaking, she looked up at him, “You’re really going to leave?”
“You’ll miss me, huh?” Wu Heng looked down at her.
The young girl pouted but finally admitted, “Without you around, I won’t have friends anymore.”
Wu Heng tousled her curly hair, “Your aunt told me, she would transfer me back here after two years.”
Yuli swatted his hand away, “What if you don’t make it through the two years?” “What are you talking about?”
” How about transferring your legacy to me in advance? That place is quite dangerous.”
“Don’t overdo it.”
The two entered the Dear Antler Shop.
The shopkeeper greeted them, “What do you need today?”
Wu Heng handed over the formula for level-one and level-two Corpse Cores, “I need the materials listed here, can you collect them all?”
The shopkeeper took it and looked it over, then nodded, “We have all the materials listed here, just depends on how much you need.”
Wu Heng thought about it and proposed a conservative number, “Fifty sets then!”
“Uh…, we don’t have that many for some types, I can prepare twenty sets for you!” The shopkeeper said with a smiling face.
Yuli interrupted their conversation, “Why are you buying so much? Start by getting a few sets for practice.”
Once the shopkeeper heard that it was for practice, he also advised, “You could try making some mini healing potions for practice.”
Wu Heng thought that was a sensible suggestion, and he could always buy more later, “Five sets of the listed items then, and materials for healing potions and spirit potions, five sets each.”
“Okay!” The shopkeeper agreed, turned around and began to prepare the order.
Meanwhile, Yuli commented, “Not the sharpest tool in the shed, and here you are learning alchemy.”
After paying for their purchase, Wu Heng had Basen carry the materials and left the congested area with Yuli.
Maybe, it’s because Wu Heng is going to leave soon.
Yuli was less talkative than usual and seemed quite downcast.
She just kept on saying things like, what if he gets bullied there, what if he dies, and more such ominous words.
It was not very auspicious.
After dinner, Yuli went home, still in a gloomy mood.
Wu Heng closed his door and sent the materials to the Zombie World.
He asked the dwarf skeleton to start preparing potions.
The next day, in the morning.
In the Zombie World.
Outside the residential area.
Li Yahong said, “We’ve already agreed with the prison side. They are ready to receive the food at anytime, they will meet us halfway.”
