The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse Chapter 1217: 911, Church Opens2
Chapter 1217: Chapter 911, Church Opens_2
The dwarf squatted on the ground, wiping his tears with his knee, and shouted, “I firmly support the establishnt of a church by Lord Island Master. I was just being mouthy, saw the protest and shouted a few words, sir, I know I was wrong.”
Wu Heng also turned his gaze towards him and said, “You’re just level 9, the establishnt of a church on the island shouldn’t affect you. Tell who asked you to do this, and then you can leave.”
“I didn’t do it. I really didn’t do anything,” the dwarf said firmly.
Beside him, the Three-eyed Skull Bubbles’ Soul Fire flickered in its eye sockets, and it shook its head slightly.
Wu Heng turned back and looked at him again, saying, “Last chance, think carefully before you speak, or I’ll kill you and directly question the corpse, who’s behind this?”
The dwarf looked up as if to speak, but eting his opponent’s gaze, he swallowed his words.
Fear and unease flickered in his eyes. After hesitating, he swallowed his saliva and said, “Nicholas, he’s the captain of the Spirit Rhinoceros Fleet. He has done a favor and asked to do this.”
Wu Heng looked at the Skeleton Bubbles, seeing it nod, he addressed the squad behind him, “Go arrest him.”
“Yes!” The squad imdiately left.
Wu Heng also followed them outside.
Leaving only the dwarf curling up on the ground, wanting to beg for rcy but dared not to speak.
…
Inside the conference room.
After Xi Ligui listened to everyone’s opinions, she smiled and said, “I have recorded everything you said, and what you ntioned about evil professions and heretics are impossible situations. The church led by Lord Island Master is registered with the association, so these issues cannot occur. I will pass the rest on to Lord Island Master.”
A slightly plump woman said, “Then why do so people say there’s recruitnt of bad professionals?”
Shi Yali said, “There are all sorts of things being said outside, everyone should discern for themselves. Lord Island Master has contributed greatly to the island, driving him away would be a loss for us.”
The people on the other side began to discuss.
Xi Ligui continued, “Alright, since these are just misunderstandings, let’s all head back for now. Tomorrow the church will open, you can take a look then.”
The woman who had spoken earlier, a bit bashfully said, “Deacon, our opinions are confidential, right? Even Lord Island Master won’t know it was us who spoke?”
Everyone was also sowhat puzzled by why they were in such a hurry before.
Blocking the church door to protest.
Xi Ligui smiled and said, “Anonymous, I promise I won’t tell him.”
“Thank you, Deacon.”
“Then we won’t disturb you anymore… ”
The people across the room stood up and directly walked out.
After waiting in the conference room for a while, the door was knocked on again.
A team mber walked in and said, “Deacon, the leader personally conducted the interrogation. The person behind this is the captain of the Spirit Rhinoceros Fleet, and a squad captain has already gone to arrest him.”
Xi Ligui and Shi Yali’s eyebrows raised.
That was quick.
“Is the dwarf dead?” Xi Ligui asked.
To be able to inquire so quickly, the only thing that cos to mind is questioning the corpse.
But the cri wasn’t severe enough to actually kill.
“No, he’s still locked in the dungeon,” the team mber said.
Xi Ligui raised an eyebrow, “The dwarf cooperated that well?”
“The leader seems to have so thod to discern if he was lying or not. I was outside at the ti, so I’m not sure what thod was used,” the team mber said.
Xi Ligui nodded, “Alright, I understand.”
The team mber left, and Xi Ligui and Shi Yali also walked out of the room.
…
Afternoon, Steward’s Office.
The door opened, and a squad captain said, “Leader, Deacon, we’ve brought in the captain of the Spirit Rhinoceros Fleet.”
The main door fully opened, and a middle-aged human walked in.
Xi Ligui said, “Go bring the investigators.”
“Yes!” The captain left, while the middle-aged captain slightly bowed, “Greetings to Island Lord Wu Heng and Deacon Xi Ligui.”
His tone was calm, showing no hint
Wu Heng looked at him and said, “We’ve t before?”
“I’ve seen you, but you probably haven’t seen ,” the man replied.
“So, we don’t have any grudges, do we?”
“The policies you’ve implented on the island are the most outstanding I’ve seen from a leader,” the man said directly.
Wu Heng, along with the Elf Sisters, showed so surprise in their eyes.
It seed he had quite a high opinion of Wu Heng.
The room door opened, and a squad captain brought in two of the island’s investigators.
“Deacon,” the investigators saluted.
Xi Ligui said, “This person is involved in inciting the islanders and slandering the association leader. Record everything truthfully.”
“Yes!” The investigators opened their notebooks, standing by.
Xi Ligui’s gaze fell back on the middle-aged man and asked, “Did you have the dwarf ‘Hayes’ incite the island residents to protest the establishnt of a church at the church door?”
“It was !” the middle-aged man responded directly.
He seed to have no intention of hiding or arguing.
“Was it you who had him slander the Spirit Awakening Sect, claim it recruits nurous evil professions, criminals, and heretics?” Xi Ligui continued to ask.
The middle-aged man shook his head, “I only asked him to organize people to protest the establishnt of the church; how to do it and what to say were up to him.”
Xi Ligui glanced at Wu Heng, who nodded, indicating that what was being said was truthful.
“Who directed you to do this?”
The middle-aged man smiled, “Perhaps you think I lack the guts to oppose a leader, but indeed, no one directed .”
Xi Ligui looked at Wu Heng again, and still, he nodded.
These words were also true.
Moreover, everything he said upon arriving was the truth, without any concealnt.
Xi Ligui grew more curious, “Why did you do this? What benefit did you gain?”
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, “I am a devout follower of The Holy Court. I trust in the character of Island Lord Wu Heng, but I couldn’t stand to see him establish a church, a church of a Necromancer.”
A follower of The Holy Court.
Faith, it truly can make people act outside their character.
Xi Ligui looked at the investigators, “Has it been recorded?”
“Already recorded,” the investigators said.
Xi Ligui turned back to Wu Heng, “Leader, do you have any more questions?”
“No, handle it according to the association’s regulations,” Wu Heng said.
“Take him away, all ships of the Spirit Rhinoceros Fleet are detained, none shall leave the island until the matter is resolved,” Xi Ligui ordered directly.
“Yes!” The captain took the man away.
The investigators returned to compile their records.
Three people remained in the room.
Shi Yali said, “Who would’ve thought this would be the outco.”
Xi Ligui also said, “I thought it was related to The Holy Court, but not that a follower would do this.”
“The Holy Court is indeed skilled in spreading faith,” Wu Heng remarked.
The sisters nodded in agreent, and Xi Ligui continued, “I’ve arranged for guards at the church door, you should prepare for tomorrow’s opening.”
Wu Heng smiled, “You’re remarkable; once our church thrives, I’ll na you as a Protective Church Knight.”
“I’m not interested,” she replied.
Shi Yali ca up, “What about , can you grant a title too?”
“I’ll make you the Archbishop,” Wu Heng said directly.
“Why should she be the Archbishop? I want a combat profession,” Xi Ligui suddenly stood up, unwillingly asking.
Pa~!
Shi Yali gave her a slap on the butt, “I’m your sister; what’s there to compete with about.”
Humph~!
Xi Ligui snorted, turning her head to the side.
Wu Heng chatted with the two sisters here for a while, then returned to the Island Lord’s Mansion.
Preparing for the opening of the church the next day.
…
Early the next morning.
The sunlight splashed on the staggered roofs, casting a faint glow over the entire island.
Screech~!
The sound of a door hinge echoed arduously as the church door slowly opened.
News of the Spirit Awakening Sect had long since spread on the island, and a large crowd had gathered outside. As the doors opened, they craned their necks to peer inside.
Gold and Silver Island is different from other cities.
Without strict hierarchical systems, several major changes have brought fervent interest, and naturally, the Island Master’s own church attracted many visitors despite Gold and Silver Island’s traditional disbelief in religions.
At the entrance, wearing the robe of a Priest, Aifulin, holding an ancient scripture, stood solemnly at the entrance, proclaiming loudly, “The uniquely great Leader Wu Heng, who creates the order of life and death, will grant us a better life, guiding us on our path forward.”
