Chapter 1222: Chapter 916, You Really Deserve to Die

Early morning.

In the courtyard of the Island Lord’s Mansion, the thin mist was permeated with the clashing sound of metal.

Wu Heng and the Three-eyed Skull ‘Bubbles’ were engaged in spear training.

The friction sound of the skeleton’s joints and the crisp clash of the spear echoed continuously in the morning fog.

[Unlocked Trait: Long Weapon Specialization (Proficient)].

The moment the system prompt sounded, more insights into the spear, techniques of application, appeared in his mind.

“Master, breakfast is ready,” Mini called from the door.

“Stop!” Wu Heng raised his hand, and the attacking skeleton stopped instantly, its spear pointing diagonally to the ground, standing straight by the side.

Wu Heng took the offered towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and followed her to the dining room.

The past two days have sufficiently proved his previous assumptions, that the improvement in level and attributes greatly increased his understanding of any knowledge.

Even the proficiency in weapon specialization increased faster.

Returning to the dining room, the maid brought up the tableware.

The family sat together and started eating.

After a few bites, Andre Willow put down her utensils and said, “Master, all the shops have been electrified, and yesterday’s response was quite good, even busier than during the day.”

The Gold and Silver Island is hot, and the temperature in the evening is more comfortable.

Now that the shops are electrified, it’s no different from the daytime, and it will certainly be busier.

Just like modern pedestrian streets, the peak is in the evening.

Wu Heng nodded and said, “Let them get used to it first, and then arrange for the residents to use electricity later.”

Andre Willow nodded to indicate understanding.

Shanaela continued, “There are quite a few people from the church, the idea of distributing eggs is pretty good, quite suitable for here.”

Not just suitable for here.

It’s a trick that would probably work in most places, only a president not short of money would think it useful on Gold and Silver Island.

“Continue for a while, please order another batch of eggs from the Starflower Commerce Association,” Wu Heng said as he took a sip of tea.

“Okay, I’ll sign the order later,” Shanaela nodded.

After breakfast.

Everyone went off to their own tasks, and Wu Heng went upstairs.

Entering the study.

The Three Ghosts were also in the room.

Wu Heng sat down to the side and casually asked, “Are there many people at the church today?”

“Many! Even more than yesterday,” Bella was the first to fly over, her tone happy, and continued, “Packed like sardines, I said the church was built too small, should’ve been bigger.”

“Take your time, the current church is still adequate,” Wu Heng said, opening the panel to check faith.

Still 21 points, no changes.

But unlike the previous days, now the church received many people every day, the trend was good.

So sooner or later, some faith could be converted.

Latter, with the establishment of the wood elf’s church and the one in Lundham City in this manner, faith would definitely increase significantly.

“After the morning is over, I’ll take the renovation team to the church to add some seats and equipment,” Wu Heng said.

Glenda reminded from the side, “And eggs, at this rate, the island’s eggs won’t last a few days.”

“I’ve already had Shanaela order the eggs,” Wu Heng nodded.

“The wood elves can be said to be benefiting from Shanaela’s light, the order from Gold and Silver Island will probably take up more than half of the Emerald Sea,” Glenda continued.

Wu Heng said, “No choice, the rest of the caravans are under threats from The Holy Court, only the wood elves are cooperating with us.”

Glenda nodded, pondering and said, “Why hasn’t there been news from the Snake Badge Consortium’s auction, if it can be held on the island, it might change some situations, would The Holy Court still dare to trouble the consortium?”

The consortium’s influence is not small, called a small guild by the outside.

Wouldn’t they dare compete with the guild for business and still be afraid of The Holy Court?

Wu Heng leaned against the side, saying, “Let’s wait a bit more, even if there’s no cooperation, Retili will get back to us.”

“Hmm!” Glenda agreed.

Xiao Xiao, listening from the side, flew over and said, “Uncle, a granny at the church said, eggs are more substantial than holy communion bread, what is holy communion bread?”

“Holy Court’s food? I haven’t eaten it either,” Wu Heng said.

Glenda said, “I’ve read books that mentioned it’s composed of bread, ham, vegetables, representing the blessing of gods.”

“Learned something new,” Wu Heng lamented.

Bella nodded along.

Doesn’t sound all that grand.

Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment and asked, “Is it a burger? My mom doesn’t let me eat it.”

Glenda and Bella looked at Wu Heng.

The latter was a bit surprised, “That does sound like a burger.”

…

Lilith’s Mansion.

The butler swiftly went upstairs, lightly knocked on the bedroom door, and then entered.

The air conditioner was blowing cool air, and the speakers beside played soothing music.

The butler bowed slightly and said, “Miss, there are even more people at the church today than yesterday, and quite a few quarrels over seating.”

The wooden coffin in the room opened slightly, and Lilith’s voice came out, “Still using the method of giving eggs?”

“The Leader Wu Heng is indeed good at this,” the butler said with a smile.

No one expected that the newly established church would have such a significant improvement in just a few days.

Lilith whispered, “I understand, no need to pay attention to the church anymore.”

“Yes!”

The butler bowed once more and exited the room.

…

Association Headquarters, Hall of Valor.

The spacious, bright hall, with stacks of bundled newspapers placed at the front desk.

The staff used a dagger to cut the binding rope and placed the newspapers on a corner of the front desk, where people, who had been waiting, gathered around, picking up newspapers to read the content.

It had become a habit to come to the hall at a fixed time to collect Gold and Silver Island’s newspaper.

“Spirit Awakening Sect! Wu Heng has established a sect?”

“He’s become a hero, so establishing a sect is normal.”

“But that’s so fast, it’s like he was prepared and just waiting to become a hero.”

“That’s why some people say there’s something off about him!”

At this point, someone spoke in a lowered voice, “He’s a Necromancer, now he’s established a sect, let’s see what The Holy Court has to say.”

Another person added, “He even dared to publish it in the paper, he seems fearless.”

“Full of youthful spirit!”

They discussed a few more things about the establishment of the sect.

Then continued to look at other contents, when seeing the character introduction next to the main headline, someone asked in puzzlement, “Mortimer, the Dwarf Deceit Puppet Master from the Deceit Puppet House? How did his information get into the paper?”

“It’s really him, he’s quite strange, and the puppets he makes are peculiar too.”

“How did he get Wu Heng to publish him in the newspaper?”

“Speaking of which, the profession of Deceit Puppet Master is rather peculiar too…”

“He’s at level 19, perhaps aiming to become a hero.”

“Quite possible…”

In the back of the crowd, in the hall’s rest area.

Deceit Puppet Master Mortimer sat at the table, eyes hidden under the hood staring at the newspaper content.

When he saw the introduction about himself, his eyes became excited.

Wu Heng really kept his promise, publishing his information in this edition.

And not far away, those people started discussing the profession of Deceit Puppet Master, turning towards how to get into the newspaper.

There was some envy about him in the words.

Mortimer reviewed his information several times, then glanced through the remaining content, satisfied and ready to leave.

Just as he was about to move his feet, he stopped, took off his hood, showing his personal information in the newspaper, and walked briskly through the crowd.

At the door.

Someone shouted, “Mr. Mortimer, your information made it into the Gold and Silver Island’s newspaper.”

Mortimer turned and said, “Yes, I just saw it in the paper too.”

“How did you get into the newspaper? I mean, is there a requirement to get into the paper,” the person asked.

Mortimer replied, “You need to contact Leader Wu Heng beforehand.”

Hearing there was indeed a way, the people’s eyes changed slightly.

“Can I buy you a drink?”

“If you want to ask how, we can talk as we walk, I still have some work,” Mortimer said.

“Alright, let’s talk as we go.”

Several people followed the dwarf, asking questions about the newspaper while walking.

…

Leader’s Study Room.

Religious Leader Saidu gripped the newspaper tightly, crumpling its edge.

In the middle of the newspaper was news about the establishment of Spirit Awakening Sect on Gold and Silver Island.

Just a few days ago, the letter from Gold and Silver Island reported the sect registration, thinking it would take a year or so, or even longer to prepare.

Who would’ve thought, within a few days, it was already published in the newspaper.

“You wretched man!” Saidu gritted his teeth, his voice filled with anger.
