The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 567

Chapter 567: Chapter 465: Research the Elixir_2 Chapter 567: Chapter 465: Research the Elixir_2 Once everything was ready,
he directly said, “Glenda, follow the normal process, there’s no danger.”

“Understood!”

Glenda flew into the center of the array.

Wu Heng placed the materials one by one into it, then activated the array.

The materials shattered, turned into energy, and converged towards Glenda.

They intertwined with each other, forming an energy vortex.

[Ghost unlocked skill: Spirit Vision.]
There were no surprises.

It was a direct success.

Glenda returned to her original form and flew out from the array.

“How is it?” Wu Heng, sweeping the floor, asked casually.

“Not bad, I can see your level now, nearly 18. You’re indeed no ordinary human,”
Piao floated over, “I’ll take you outside to have a look.”

Glenda nodded, also wanting to see more of the outside world from this perspective.

Seeing that the two ghosts were about to leave, Wu Heng cautioned, “Don’t go near the Association. That old man Gandalf can see ghosts.”

“Alright.”

After agreeing, the two ghosts flew straight out.

Wu Heng tidied up briefly, then went back to his room to rest.

…

The next day, at the Association.

When Wu Heng entered the office, Andre Willow had already been there for a while.

Seeing him come in, she smiled and said, “Master, the teams have compiled the pirate flags they collected. There are a total of 372 small pirate group flags, 147 medium pirate group banners, and 13 large banners.”

Had they killed that many pirate groups?

At the time, he was dealing with ‘Occam,’ only glancing over the port, which indeed was densely packed with many ships.

And the higher the level of the pirate group, the more ships they had.

Someone like Philippa had three ships at the time, not to mention the others.

“Do they all have merits?” Wu Heng sat down to the side.

Andre Willow glanced at the documents in her hand, “We’re still checking, but it seems that many pirate flags don’t have merit records with the Association.”

In other words, some pirate groups weren’t on the Association’s wanted list.

Either they were discreet in their actions, or they were part-time pirates with little renown,
failing to catch the Association’s attention.

“Count them carefully, mainly it’s those large pirate groups; make sure it’s clear,” he instructed.

“Okay.” Andre Willow agreed and smiled, “But from the looks of it now, this battle probably emptied the Emerald Sea’s Association’s wanted list.”

Wu Heng’s eyes flickered, “Then what do you think, will the coastal areas talk about our deeds of killing pirates?”

“They probably will! You’re going to be famous, Master,” she replied.

“Keep it low-key; we still have many enemies!”

Andre Willow’s face was full of smiles.

…

Approaching the afternoon.

The teams went out for patrol tasks.

With nothing pressing, Wu Heng left the Association and found a secluded spot.

He put on a hood and a veil and boarded the Phantom Train.

At the Lopaz City, Snake Badge Consortium,
Wu Heng entered the lobby and, upon presenting his emblem,
was respectfully brought to the VIP room to wait.

Before long,
the sound of clicking footsteps rose, and the local manager ‘Retili,’ dressed in a slim-fitting red dress, knocked on the room door and entered.

“Good afternoon, guest.”

“Good afternoon.” Wu Heng handed over the emblem, “Could you check if there are any results from my last commission?”

Retili did not take it, but smiled in reply, “We have the results already, please wait a moment.”

She opened the door and gave further instructions.

Three coffins were carried straight in.

One by one, the coffins were opened.

Retili introduced from the side, “As per your request, we have collected three Level 15 bodies for you, two of which are alchemists specialized in Potionology, and one is a mechanist focused on improvement and research directions.”

Wu Heng felt a thrill of delight.

Was their efficiency so high on this side?

At Gold and Silver Island, even after repeating the commission several times, he had not collected any Level 15 corpses.

On this first commission, they obtained three bodies.

He asked placidly, “What was the cause of death?”

Retili replied, “One died of natural causes, the cause of death for another is unknown as he was transported from a distant place, and the last one died from an assassination. Rest assured, as long as you don’t publicize this, there will be no further trouble.”

Wu Heng was not afraid of trouble.

Once transformed into skeletons, unless a coroner reconstructs their appearance through their bones, it was basically impossible to identify them.

And they would only be active in the laboratory, unseen by others.

“Even a level 15 professional can be assassinated?”

Retili pondered for a moment before responding, “You might not be fully aware, but the situation along the coast has been quite special recently. Several powers and families have come into conflict, leading to casualties.”

“Is it convenient to say why?”

Retili glanced at him and decided to indulge her gold master with some information, “Have you heard of Gold and Silver Island?”

Wu Heng’s interest was piqued, “I’ve heard of it, an island of pirates.”

“Recently, all the pirates attacked Gold and Silver Island, intending to kill the resident association and abduct all the Chamber of Commerce members.”

“What does this have to do with other families?”

“Pirates have always been in the Emerald Sea. The large pirate groups, with high-level professionals in charge, involve deeper entanglements, such as the Chambers of Commerce that launder their loot, the families they support, or some bribed officials. Now with the pirates wiped out, many are seizing this opportunity to retaliate against those associated with the pirates, leading to an escalation of assassinations and armed conflicts everywhere.”

Wu Heng listened silently.

He was still surprised by the development of the entire situation.

That is to say, after the pirates died.

Those who dared not act before were now taking their revenge on those who colluded with the pirates.

Feeling Retili’s gaze, Wu Heng said, “The death of pirates is a good thing.”

Retili agreed, “Indeed, we don’t like them either.”

“I’m quite satisfied with these three bodies. Have you got any results on the artifacts that can conceal one’s face?” Wu Heng did not continue to dwell on the topic of pirates.

He knew more than what was rumoured outside.

“Not yet, but we will continue to collect them for you.”

“Good! I’ll fill in a new commission. I want bodies of all professions above level 15, preferably those who died in accidents or of natural causes.”

“Understood, we are not pirates and prefer to work within the rules.”

Retili rewrote the commission.

Wu Heng paid the corresponding sum and collected the bodies.

He did not linger there and walked directly out of the consortium.

He boarded the train in a secluded area and returned to Gold and Silver Island.

…

He returned to his living quarters.

It was already dusk.

After dinner, Wu Heng transformed the bodies in the open space of the backyard.

All three skeletons stood up.

[Skeleton Alchemist (Level 15)]
[Skeleton Alchemist (Level 15)]
[Mechanist Skeleton (Level 15)]
Wu Heng’s gaze lingered on the Mechanist.

In terms of attributes, intelligence and constitution were high.

And among the remaining attributes, the specialty stood out.

[Expertise: Handcraft (Master), Odd Machine Specialization (Master), Equipment Enhancement, Offensive Boost, Runes Integration, Energy Overload, External Construct Design, Internal Construct Planning.]
All the expertise were related to machinery and structures.

“You’ll be called No.2 Expert, you No.3 Expert, and you No.1 Mech. Follow me upstairs,” Wu Heng named each one and led the three skeletons upstairs.

He took the two Alchemy Skeletons to the laboratory and then called over No.1 Expert.

Taking out a third-level corpse core, he instructed, “Your primary task is to research this material and produce elixirs that can enhance living bodies.”

The three skeletons made no response, standing still.

“Right, if you understand, then start on the research. List whatever you need, and I’ll prepare it for you.”

The three skeletons immediately turned and began working on the side.

Wu Heng closed the door.

He took No.1 Mech downstairs.

Millicent and Philippa lived on the third floor, leaving the room of Mini and Andre Willow.

He decided to set up the workroom for No.1 Mech on the second floor.

…

He chose a room on the north side.

The room was fully furnished with wooden tables and shelves.

“From now on, you’ll work in this room,” Wu Heng said, bringing out three thick stacks of schematics.
