The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 717

Chapter 717: Chapter 580, Did You Know He Was a Detective? Chapter 717: Chapter 580, Did You Know He Was a Detective? Captain Felipa appeared with a Skeleton, causing both confronting parties to fall silent.

The blocking Wood Elf’s expression also grew serious.

The orders had been to confirm Shanaela’s assets on Gold and Silver Island, but they had also received instructions to maintain good relations and uphold commercial cooperation with Gold and Silver Island.

For a moment, it was somewhat awkward.

The lead Wood Elf bowed slightly, “Captain Felipa, this should be an internal matter of the Starflower, please do not interfere.”

Felipa furrowed her brow, “Don’t talk nonsense to me, otherwise I’ll throw you into the sea to sober up.”

The Wood Elf frowned, “Captain Felipa, you are now the captain of Gold and Silver Island, please be mindful of your language.”

“Be glad you made it onto Gold and Silver Island! Scram!” Felipa waved her hand dismissively.

The Skeleton cleared the way in front, and Felipa and Shanaela followed, passing through the few people blocking the road.

They then boarded a carriage by the roadside and headed towards the Island Lord’s Mansion.

In the carriage.

Felipa sat carelessly, “There are a lot of people here, but when the opportunity arises, I will stand up for you.”

Shanaela smiled, “No need, it’s quite fine now, they were scared off by you.”

“Really! I’ve changed a lot, back when I was a pirate….” Felipa started to recount, then stopped herself, “Forget about that, I was undercover, not really a pirate.”

Shanaela was not very interested in her pirate past and selected a new topic.

“Let’s not talk about them, tell me, how has Gold and Silver Island been recently? It seems quite changed.”

Felipa excitedly moved to sit beside Shanaela, “I’ll tell you, do you know that Wu Heng used to be a detective? The type that doesn’t rely on professional abilities, just examines corpses to find the murderer….”

…

On the road.

Felipa talked non-stop.

Shanaela’s eyes widened, filled with surprise and disbelief.

“And then?”

“That’s all, the newspaper only published up to here, oh, this is called serialization, Wu Heng explained it,” said Felipa.

Shanaela nodded, falling back into silence.

She hadn’t expected that many things had happened on Gold and Silver Island during her absence.

Furthermore, a newspaper had been started on the island.

Wu Heng had previously reached level 15 and must be preparing for his level 18.

Not bad, paving the way for his future.

She mused to herself.

Felipa pulled open the carriage’s curtain and stretched out her arm, “A newspaper, please.”

The paperboy hurried over, took the money, and handed over a newspaper.

Felipa pulled her head back and handed the newspaper to Shanaela, “This is the newspaper, the story below is his, this is the third issue, the previous two were sold earlier.”

Shanaela took it and started reading.

…

Zombie World, conference room.

Zhao Yanqiu, who had just completed her professional transformation, stood still and looked across.

“I can feel some changes in my body, but I don’t know what exactly has changed.”

Xiao Xiao flew over, somewhat boastfully, “Mom, you are now a professional, not an ordinary person anymore.”

“Be more specific, what’s the use?” Zhao Yanqiu looked at her daughter.

“Um….” Xiao Xiao turned her head, seeking help from Wu Heng, “Uncle, what’s the use?”

Wu Heng pondered his understanding of the Bard, saying, “As a professional, you can understand it as planning a direction for your own development, thereby enhancing various abilities of yours.

Simply put, as long as you stick to this professional path, it’s like constantly taking corpse core potions, mainly without side effects and without fearing the virus affecting your body.”

Zhao Yanqiu didn’t quite understand the rest, but she clearly understood the last part.

Its effect was akin to continuously taking corpse core potions.

And there were no side effects whatsoever.

Even if she didn’t understand much else, she knew that releasing this news would create a sensation across the world.

It had actually been entrusted to her.

Her face lit up with delight, “Thank you, chief.”

Xiao Xiao flew over politely and patted Zhao Yanqiu’s shoulder, “Mom, don’t be so formal, we’re family, right uncle?”

“Ah, yes!” Wu Heng nodded.

Zhao Yanqiu glared at her daughter then asked, “What should I do to strengthen this profession of mine?”

Xiao Xiao again turned her head, “How to do it?”

Wu Heng explained, “Your profession is called Bard, and from what I know, there are two directions, one is in the lore of oddities, gathering tidings, collecting works should all be included; the second is performing and public speaking, just as the words suggest, doing some performances or speeches can also enhance your abilities.”

Xiao Xiao nodded, “Right!”

The characteristics of a Bard are closer to artistic performance, many abilities are delivered through words to the audience, affecting their minds, or inspiring their souls.

Of course, this refers to a normal professional direction, manipulators and swindlers also often follow this profession.

Zhao Yanqiu listened and nodded, “I understand.”

Xiao Xiao pondered, “Mom, you could be a star, didn’t you used to love singing? This profession would be very suitable for you.”

“Are there even any stars now?” Zhao Yanqiu asked.

Wu Heng continued, “Being a professional is definitely something that has advantages without disadvantages. Get used to your abilities first, and then I will find you a couple of books to read.”

“Yes, leader,” Zhao Yanqiu bowed again in thanks.

“Don’t talk about this matter outside; otherwise, it would be troublesome for all of us,” Wu Heng cautioned.

“I understand.”

Wu Heng nodded, stood up, and said, “You mother and daughter talk, I am going to check on the factory.”

Zhao Yanqiu bowed again, her attitude extremely respectful.

Wu Heng didn’t say much, and walked outside.

Behind him, Xiao Xiao’s voice followed, “Mom, this profession I chose, it suits you, right? In the future, it could enhance your speech, and you love to nag… no, I mean, it’s simple.”

Wu Heng walked out of the conference room.

And together with Qi Hancai, headed towards the bullet-producing factory.

He checked the factory and the warehouse, confirming the quantity of materials needed.

Having completed the inspection, they ate lunch in the cafeteria together.

Wu Heng then returned to his own dormitory and chatted for a while with Glenda in his room.

Xiao Xiao also flew back.

“How did it go? Was your mom satisfied?” Wu Heng asked.

Xiao Xiao lazily floated mid-air, “Satisfied, but she’s a bit slow, can’t understand much.”

“After all, the cultures of the two worlds are different. It is normal for her not to accept it immediately; she’ll get used to it gradually,” Wu Heng explained.

Xiao Xiao nodded, “I hope so.”

Wu Heng glanced at Xiao Xiao again and asked, “Xiao Xiao, what do you think should be the next step to help enhance your mom’s abilities? Other professions can arrange for Skeletons to help with training, but Bard is a bit special.”

Skeletons can’t speak, so it’s hard to provide effective guidance in the Bard field.

Xiao Xiao furrowed her brow and pondered, “Let’s do as uncle said, pick a few simple Skill Books, and let my mom try.”

“Hmm, alright, but you’ll have to translate the content yourself, your mom can’t read the text from another world.”

“I can’t read it either!” Xiao Xiao immediately emphasized.

“Let your Aunt Glenda teach you, your mom’s level upgrade depends on you now.”

Xiao Xiao hadn’t expected to be tasked with work, and groused with a sullen face, “They should train a couple of translation-ready Skeletons.”

Seeing Xiao Xiao’s suddenly disheartened mood, both Wu Heng and Glenda smiled.

Even though she didn’t consider fighting and scouting as grueling tasks.

Only reading books or learning something.

Her mood changed instantly, especially quickly.

The reason Wu Heng had asked Xiao Xiao was due to the ‘Unfinished Wish.’
But it seemed that her mom’s change of profession hadn’t unlocked that status.

He could only ask what direction she wanted to go in next.

They would try slowly.

After chatting with two Ghosts, he opened the boundary door and walked through.

…

Returning to Gold and Silver Island, he changed into the local attire.

He opened the door and headed down.

He had just reached the second floor when he heard the maids’ chatter and laughter from below.

They were quite happy today?

He walked down the stairs, glanced towards the living room, and then saw ‘Sha Naila’ in an elegant simple long dress, sitting there gracefully and gently.

Mature and voluptuous.

Smiling and chatting with the maids about some events that had happened after her departure.

Behind Sha Naila, the middle-aged female housekeeper was still standing by with proper decorum.

Creating a striking contrast with the maids of the Island Lord’s Mansion.

Hearing the footsteps, several people looked towards the stairs.

Seeing Wu Heng approaching.

They all smiled.

“Master…,”
“Master, Sister Shanela is back,”
The maids greeted him.

Sha Naila also looked over with a tender expression, “It’s been a long time.”
