Chapter 1221: Chapter 915: The Glowing Island

Wu Heng showed a smile.

Then asked, “Leader! How was the Blood Clan’s Hero Hall originally managed?”

Lilith glanced at him, “The Blood Clan is different from you; it’s a religious order inherited through the race. When I became a hero, it had already been established for many years. It doesn’t suit you. Your plan today is actually quite good; take it slow, you’re still young.”

Indeed, the Blood Clan is a race with a certain foundation.

“I have a short lifespan!” Wu Heng said helplessly.

Lilith gave him a sidelong glance, her voice calm, “You’re already a hero, and you’re worried about lifespan? When the time comes, if you don’t want to turn into a Corpse Ghost, you can join the Blood Clan.”

Wu Heng was startled at first, then leaned forward, his expression serious, “That’s a good idea! By then, we both will be heroes, and we won’t fear the two heroes of The Holy Court. Together, we will destroy The Holy Court, and then that god…”

Lilith’s expression changed, and with a casual wave, Wu Heng’s mouth instantly disappeared, and his words were abruptly cut off.

Warningly, she said, “The more you know, the more cautious you must be. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Wu Heng lifted the ‘curse’, his mouth restored, then said, “Is it feasible?”

Lilith gave him an annoyed look, “Forget it, you might as well be a Corpse Ghost.”

“Don’t! We still have Xiao Xiao, for the sake of the child…”

Lilith glared, “What nonsense are you talking about.”

At this point, the steward brought over some pastries, and Lilith said, “Those Array Pattern Masters brought these pastries from the main headquarters when they came. Eat more and talk less.”

The seasoned leader is truly revered; those people only talk money with themselves, they didn’t even bring any pastries.

Wu Heng took a pastry and tasted it but didn’t continue to tease her.

I have a panel, and after becoming a hero, living for a few hundred years is not a problem.

Confident in breaking through the shackles of faith before death and reaching the next stage.

After tasting two pieces, he casually chatted about other things on the island, directing the conversation towards the purpose of this trip, “Leader, besides information, do Secret Speakers collect any knowledge?”

“What kind of knowledge are you looking for?” Lilith looked up, her eyes a bit puzzled.

“Just like elixir formulas, some bard poems, sheet music, those kinds of things,” Wu Heng asked directly.

Lilith continued to look at him, somewhat confused why he suddenly asked these things.

“Why do you think Secret Speakers would record these, and not Hongwen Alliance?”

Wu Heng was taken aback, “Hongwen Alliance has those, I’ll write a letter to ‘Claudio’ Leader by then and ask him.”

Lilith grew more curious, thought for a moment, and said, “Actually, Secret Speakers also collect elixir formulas, poems, these things, but after obtaining them, they hand them over to Hongwen Alliance for preservation. We also have local hub fortresses, some legacy stories. Why are you asking about these?”

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, indeed Secret Speakers collect everything.

When I was in Black Stone Town, local steward Slyther introduced the characteristics of Secret Speakers, from kingdom old affairs to noble love stories.

Secret Speakers gather information from all aspects, and once something happens, they unravel the clues based on various information details.

At that time, Wu Heng’s impression of this organization was like the gossip post of a group of village grandmas.

A few people gather, collecting all sorts of intelligence.

Wu Heng leaned forward again and immediately said, “Leader, I have a super good suggestion, we can collaborate to build a database, so in the future, we can easily find any data we need.”

Lilith raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean by that?”

Wu Heng thought about how to explain it, then said, “You should know how to use a phone by now. I will store all the data in the phone, and in the future, if you want to find some relevant information, you can check it on the phone.”

“What difference does that have from the archives? I can also send someone to the library to find it,” Lilith continued.

Wu Heng explained, “The difference is huge. For example, you vaguely remember that someone in the Yeko Kingdom used the Blood Clan’s Holy Grail but can’t remember who it was. Going through all the archives would definitely take a lot of time and manpower, but in the knowledge base I’m talking about, it can be found in a few seconds.”

“That’s just a simple clue; more complex ones, like the old king’s niece’s third husband who had several lovers, which one of them had connections with the mafia. This kind of intricate relationship is harder to sort out, and conventional manpower might take days or even longer. In the database, you can find the corresponding person in just a few minutes.”

Lilith raised an eyebrow, understanding what he was trying to convey.

She felt the suggestion was indeed good; this way, useful information could be quickly filtered out.

The intelligence collected by Secret Speakers for hundreds of years made the entire intelligence system too cumbersome. Recent ones are better, but sorting and finding clues for those too long ago indeed takes a lot of time.

Moreover, when others talk about such things, she never believed they could be realized.

But when Wu Heng said he wanted to do it, she instinctively believed it could definitely succeed.

After all, there have been so many novel things already.

She looked him up and down, and said, “The intelligence of Secret Speakers is not open to the public.”

“I’m also the leader of the headquarters; you’re treating me as an outsider!” Wu Heng said aggrievedly.

Lilith looked at his appearance and said, “Even ruling leaders can only access the relevant archives when they need to check them. Revealing too much of this information could disrupt the entire situation.”

Hell, even ruling leaders can’t randomly check it out.

Wu Heng said, “Then I don’t want those secrets; I just want some public information or formulas or something.”

Lilith thought for a moment and said, “Saying it like that, there’s no problem. I’ll let ‘Hadara’ know and give you a reply by then.”

“Alright, it’s best if you also mention it to Hongwen Alliance,” Wu Heng continued.

Lilith nodded and took a sip of tea.

After finishing the official business, the two continued chatting for a while, seeing there was nothing much.

Wu Heng then released the [Teleportation Technique] and returned to the Island Lord’s Mansion.

…

The sky gradually darkened.

After dinner, residents walked out of their houses to sit by the roadside to cool off. Bards of slightly lower level brought their own stools, waiting for the streetlights to light up, looking for a good spot to improve their skills.

Suddenly, a strange light burst forth from one end of the street.

People turned their heads to see that the once dim shops were lit brightly as if it were day.

The shop owner stood at the door, smiling and calling out, “The store is extending business hours, customers needing anything can come over anytime.”

Click, click, click~!

Then, one shop after another lit up in succession, and the entire street was instantly bright.

The crowd reacted instantly.

“It’s the newspaper mentioned about installing electric lights in shops, they’ve all been installed.”

“Brighter than the street lights.”

“The efficiency of Lord Island Master is really high.”

The crowd was instantly abuzz.

At the same time, the street lamps by the roadside also lit up one after another, illuminating the entire small island brightly.

People no longer gathered under street lamps but had more time to shop or stroll along the street.

Even more bustling than during the day.

…

On a passenger ship heading to Gold and Silver Island.

A blonde elf, wearing leather armor on the upper body and long pants on the lower body, opened the cabin door and looked outside.

The guard standing at the door slightly bowed, “Miss Retili.”

“Why is it so chaotic outside?” Retili asked.

“I heard them say it seems they spotted Gold and Silver Island, and everyone went to the deck,” the guard said.

Retili frowned, “They spotted Gold and Silver Island? Wasn’t it supposed to be a day’s journey away?”

“I’m not very sure either.”

“Let’s go have a look,” Retili put on her hood and headed outside with the others.

A lot of people had already gathered on the deck.

Pushing through the crowd to look into the distance.

In the sounds of exclamations and sighs around her, her eyes widened in surprise.

In the pitch-black night sky, at the edge of her vision, she could see an island.

An island bathed in light.
