The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Chapter 295, No.1 Expert (One more chapter today, back to normal tomorrow.)

Special Items, while providing unique effects, also come with certain side effects.

The Amber Necklace can protect the wearer in dangerous situations, but its side effects are quite significant.

The primary consciousness develops a dependence on the first person it sees.

This was the first time Wu Heng had seen such a side effect.

It reminded him of some popular science videos he had watched.

Some young animals, upon hatching, come to regard the first creature they see as their mother.

They form a sense of trust and dependence in their hearts.

This is very similar to the side effect of the pendant in front of him, and could even be said to be more severe.

Wu Heng glanced at the beautiful elf who was still lounging on the couch and wondered if she had left it there on purpose for him to see.

But he immediately dismissed the thought.

No one knew he could see the Special Item panel, and ordinary people didn’t understand much about the Wood Elves’ Special Items.

She probably just put it down carelessly.

“Ha~!” Shanaela yawned, tilting her head to look at him, “Do you always get up this early?”

“Doesn’t seem early. Didn’t sleep well last night?” Wu Heng replied with a smile.

Shanaela smiled and sat up, covering herself with a thin blanket.

Her delicate legs were curled up on the bed, and she pouted at the oil painting in front of her, “I heard you liked oil paintings, so I thought of drawing a new one for you, but I haven’t finished it yet.”

Wu Heng glanced at the oil painting, somewhat surprised by her talent.

His gaze swept over her and he said, “A landscape, right? Then you should draw yourself in the mirror and give that to me.”

Shanaela’s eyes curved, “Why didn’t you say you wanted me to give myself to you?”

“Really?”

“You wish!”

Shanaela tossed her head, shaking her loose hair, and continued to ask, “How old are you this year?”

“24! What about you?”

“Me? If I tell you, I might scare you. By age, I could be your ancestor.” Shanaela glanced at him and added, “Elves mature late, so in comparison, we aren’t that far apart.”

After speaking, she got up with the blanket and walked towards the screen in the room.

As she moved, her figure swayed, and the sight of her bare thighs and the fleeting glimpse of her rounded buttocks were attention-grabbing.

Shanaela seemed to notice and looked back, Wu Heng shifted his gaze, admiring the half-finished painting on the easel.

Behind the screen, sounds of rustling clothes changing could be heard.

“What hobbies do you have usually?”

Behind the screen, came ‘Sha Naila’s’ inquiring voice again.

Sitting in the chair, Wu Heng felt somewhat amused; this felt like a matchmaking conversation!

They talked about age and now hobbies.

“Usually, I practice swordsmanship and read some literary works.”

“A Mage’s hobbies seem to always involve reading all kinds of books.” Shanaela walked out from behind the screen.

She had changed into a light blue casual outfit.

Her full chest pushed the loose shirt prominently upward.

She came closer and sat down beside him.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and asked back, “What about you?”

“Me? I like painting, art, and visiting different places,” Shanaela said after thinking for a moment.

“Upper-class hobbies.”

“Not at all, I don’t like dealing with those stuck-up people all day either.”

Ding ding ding~!

As they chatted, there was a light knock on the door.

Then came the voice of the housekeeper, “Madam, the purchasing agreement is ready.”

“Bring it in!”

The door opened, and the housekeeper entered carrying an agreement and a quotation list.

Shanaela said, “Take a look at what you need to purchase, and I’ll arrange for someone to bring it to you.”

Wu Heng glanced at the quotation list.

Trans-sea transport had quantity requirements, but the prices were not high.

In Lundham City, a full bag of wheat was priced at 135 copper coins, while buying in bulk from the trade association was 87 copper coins.

It just required larger quantities, with orders over 20,000 bags.

Shanaela had mentioned before that the Wood Elves’ grains were a major export and sold well among all races.

Apart from wheat, there were various kinds of beans and grains, with a wide variety as well.

Among other items, the price of wooden bows was much lower, and the price of leather armor was close to the market rate.

After viewing the prices, Wu Heng noted down the several items he needed, all in quantities exceeding ten thousand.

Shanaela, sipping from her teacup, glanced at the quantities he had written.

She coughed and said, “You want this much? What for?”

It was like arming an army, buying so many weapons, equipment, and supplies.

“Uh, what’s wrong? I thought I’d buy as much as possible.”

Shanaela said, “We live so close, there’s no need to buy this much all at once; it can attract attention during transport.”

Wu Heng felt that made sense.

Large-scale purchases of military equipment could indeed draw unnecessary attention.

“Then I’ll adjust the quantities.”

He ordered a total of 5,000 bags of food, including flour, soybeans, and 2,000 each of wooden bows and single-handed battle axes; 20,000 sets of integral leather armor.

After writing it down, Shanaela nodded and asked, “The trade association has its own rules, you need to pay a 50% deposit. Do you have enough money?”

Wu Heng nodded and, after calculating the price, brought out two large barrels of silver coins and placed them in the room.

“Seized from the pirates, … captured.”

Shanaela smiled and nodded, indicating to the housekeeper to count it before taking it away.

Then she continued, “Care to stay for breakfast?”

“I’ve eaten already, and I need to go to the association.”

Shanaela didn’t insist, “Alright, then we’ll see each other next time.”
