The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 384: 320

Letter?

Wu Heng took it and glanced at it.

It wasn’t a blank-envelope sort of letter but one mailed by the Association.

“Thank you!”

“It’s my duty,” the staff member smiled and nodded before turning and walking away.

Wu Heng, holding the letter, went straight to the office study.

Upon opening the door,

he saw Andre Willow tidying up. As the Vice-executive’s assistant, she always arrived a bit earlier.

To prepare some things ahead of time.

“Master.”

“Hmm,” Wu Heng nodded, sat down at the desk to the side, and began to peruse the letter.

There were two letters in total, and both were sent by acquaintances of his.

Sister Mansha, the gang big sister, and Steward Slate from Black Stone Town.

Had the two agreed to send letters together? They actually arrived here at the same time.

He picked up the first letter, broke the seal, and poured out the letter to unfold it.

‘Master:

I assume you’ve arrived at Gold and Silver Island by now. Did you have a smooth trip? Are the new members friendly? If it’s not so nice there, if you’re not quite fitting in, you can come to Lundham City. It’s not as bad here anymore as it used to be.

Of course, with your abilities, Master, everything will go smoothly wherever you go.

Since you’ve been gone for so long, Steward Slate has come to Lundham City. He brought girls who sing and dance, and now the Money Cat has opened for business.

It’s become the hottest entertainment venue in the surrounding cities, making a large amount of money every day. Even the local taxes have gone up several-fold.

The development of the city has also progressed according to your layout. Streetlights have been erected in the central area, and property values for shops around have been rising rapidly. Those who sold their properties to us at low prices before probably cannot sleep with regret now.

I’ve been keeping a tally of the taxes and Money Cat’s income, which you can take with you as soon as you return.

During your absence, I’ve missed you a bit, though I know you must miss me too and know that you can’t come back because you’re busy with Association work. But still, I dream about you every day, about the times when I would act as your little wildcat.

Oh, and I have a surprise for you. The thing we worked hard on together has borne fruit.

You’ll see it when you return.

Master, if you have time, please come back to see me. I miss you very much.’

After reading the letter, Wu Heng immediately put it into his Space Ring.

The first part talked about the development of Lundham City.

According to the plans he and another person discussed before he left, they were to turn Lundham City into a genuine City that Never Sleeps.

Aside from serving as a transit hub for the Beastman Federation and the Yeko Kingdom, it was also going to become a significant entertainment city.

The Money Cat was one of its representative buildings.

From what the letter indicated, the effect was very good.

Even the whole town’s shops benefited, with taxes naturally increasing as well.

The latter part of the letter detailed Sister Mansha’s longing for him.

Sister Mansha was Wu Heng’s first maid, a cold big sister of the gang outwardly but a woman who would wear cat-ear lingerie and meow indoors.

In truth, Wu Heng missed her too, but the distance was too great. Even using the Phantom Train, the journey would take half a month.

When he had some free time, he would go back to visit.

And to lay out the next steps for the development of Lundham City.

…

“Did someone write a letter to the Master?” Andre Willow brought over a cup of tea.

“From Sister Mansha!”

Andre Willow smiled, “Sister Mansha probably misses you to death. When we were in Lundham City, she was the one who clung to you the most.”

“Really?”

“Yes, if you don’t believe me ask Mini. Whenever we spent too long with you, Sister Mansha would immediately get mad,” Andre Willow said while petting the little owl.

“Is that so? Tell her about it next time you see her.”

“No need for that. Aside from you, Master, she takes good care of us in every other way. Since coming here, no one has given us any spending money,” Andre Willow said.

“Oh, she still acts a bit like an elder sister then,” Wu Heng commented.

Andre Willow leaned in closer and continued, “Did Sister Mansha mention my people?”

“No, Sister Mansha is quite reliable in her work. I’ll be back in a short while, and I’ll check for you then,” Wu Heng replied.

“Thank you so much, Master!”

The two chatted as the owl hooted softly.

Andre Willow moved to one side, opened the drawer, and took out some jerky to feed it.

Wu Heng then opened the second letter to see what it contained.

…

‘Deputy Steward Wu Heng:

The sea surrounds Gold and Silver Island, and it’s plagued with rampant pirates, far worse than the bandits and highway robbers before. Their leaders might even be at the third or fourth tier, with not insignificant power.

In your dealings, be very cautious and careful, and never as reckless as on the mainland, or act alone.

With your current age, it’s rare for anyone in the Human Race to rise so quickly to the position of Vice-executive.

Just survive safely for a while, and the Association will nurture you more. Remember not to be reckless and seek adventure.

The Money Cat at Lundham City is doing exceedingly well. Even without the profit share I promised you, the yield is dozens of times that of the Money Cat in Black Stone Town.

I intend to shift the focus of the business to Lundham City, to prioritize it.

I’ve heard that Gold and Silver Island is an important maritime trade hub. Can you start making contacts to see if it’s suitable to establish another Money Cat there?

Everything is fine in Black Stone Town. Even though you have left, the tales about you in the crowded district keep spreading and growing. Your reputation has far surpassed mine as an Association Steward.

The residents of the crowded district have had their third application for erecting a statue of you approved. When you return next time, you should be able to see what your likeness looks like amongst them.

Yuli often talks about you, seeming rather attached. Be aware of your position and don’t talk to her about anything to do with pirates.

Now she keeps clamoring to go to sea and become a pirate, which is giving me a headache.

Everything is fine on my end; there’s no need to worry.

I’ve been keeping an eye on that house of yours in Black Stone Town. I’ve recently replaced some of the furniture and wall coverings. When you have time, come back and see if you like it.

Be careful in all you do.’

Reading the contents of the letter, Wu Heng’s brow raised.

Slyther and Sister Mansha had completely different personalities.

Wen Mansha would be more straightforward in revealing her emotions, after all, that’s just how communication in the gang worked.

As for ‘Slyther’, she was the image of a strong woman, and she was quite assertive in her approach.

Otherwise, ‘Money Cat’ wouldn’t have taken off, let alone secure a position as a Steward.

Even when the two of them were together, she was the one on top.

The contents of the letter, aside from advising him to be careful, also included an update on the business situation at Money Cat.

The booming income from Lundham City even made her consider closing down the Money Cat in Black Stone Town.

The latter part of the letter mentioned ‘Yuli’ and her desire to become a pirate, which Wu Heng failed to see how it related to himself.

He had come to Gold and Silver Island and encountered pirates but never told Yuli.

And the last sentence, there was new furniture at home, beckoning him to return and check it out.

Wu Heng, however, did understand the message.

It was at this place that they last reconciled, what’s there to see about furniture? It was simply that she missed him.

Hmph! Women!

Still playing it cool.

He took out two sheets of paper and wrote replies to the two women.

He briefed them on the situation here and also expressed his longing for them.

He would definitely visit them when he had the time.

After finishing the replies, he sealed them in envelopes, addressing them properly.

“Wei’er!”

“Master!” Wei’er turned around.

“No matter, I’ll be heading back now.”

“Now? It’s not even noon yet!”

“Can’t help it, sitting here is making me restless. Let me know if anything comes up!” Wu Heng got up.

“Alright then, Master, take care.”

Squeak, squeak~!

The little owl also hooted twice.

Wu Heng waved at the person and the bird, carrying his letters as he walked out.

Handing over the letters to the front desk, he left the association.

…

He returned to his residence.

Upon entering the courtyard, he saw the Wood Elf ‘Sha Naila’ sitting there.

Seeing Wu Heng return, she flashed a bright smile, “You’re back!”

“Yeah, why are you spacing out here by yourself again today?” Wu Heng walked over and gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

Sha Naila looked around guiltily, making sure no one was there, then leaned into him and said, “Just came out to sit, Mini is inside painting!”

“Ah… Mini has picked up a new hobby.”

Sha Naila smiled and said, “It’s quite nice. She has her own interests, and it’s rare to have a master who spoils the maids as much as you do.”

“I’ll spoil you even more in the future!”

Sha Naila lifted her eyes slightly, “You said so, I’ll remember that!”

“Of course!”

Sha Naila continued, “Starflower’s merchant fleet is about to leave, let me know if you have more ceramics and glass products to sell, I’ll take them too.”

Zombie World, the collected life essentials.

Wu Heng had agreed to sell them to Starflower.

Besides, he would get more profit by selling through them than on his own.

Wu Heng said, “Let’s do it tomorrow. I’ll have all the goods ready. Your people can take them all away then.”

“Alright, also let me know if you need to buy anything, write it all down and place the order with me.”

“Okay!”

The two sat in the courtyard chatting for a while, then Mini came out of the room.

She called Sha Naila over to take a look at her work and help with some adjustments.

Sha Naila went to correct the painting with Mini, and Wu Heng found an excuse to leave the place directly.

He headed to the port and his ship’s hold.

He opened the boundary door and moved all the ready goods over.

…

Skeletons carried the goods one by one.

Gradually, they filled up the entire cargo hold.

“I’ll have Sha Naila arrange for people to move it tomorrow. It’s good to make use of it.”

All those things had been scavenged from Zombie World.

Now Starflower would sell them on his behalf, and he could now sell them in large quantities.

Otherwise, he’d run out of space to store them.

After moving everything.

Wu Heng locked up the door, left skeletons to guard it, then went back to the deck and walked out.

He followed the road back.

Along the way, he stopped by a few shops on Lighthouse Street.

He bought some Alchemy Materials and a large number of arrows.

Halfway through, he suddenly felt someone rapidly approaching.

He turned around cautiously, while Skull Crusher and Bloody Hand quickly positioned themselves before and behind him for protection.

The approaching person was a bald, dark-skinned burly man dressed like a gang member.

He gave a slight bow and said, “Sir, our lady invites you over!”

Wu Heng took another look at the man and asked, “Who is your lady?”

“Lady Mackintosh!”

The six-armed Prophet?
