Chapter 476: 391 Chapter: Outing (Please vote for the monthly ticket…)

He walked out of the study.

The two of them walked along the corridor, heading outside.

Wu Heng asked, “The steward mentioned there might be special circumstances, what does that mean?”

It wasn’t strange for the association to mobilize support for nearby areas.

But from the way ‘Imilo’ assigned the mission, there was always a feeling that there was more to it.

Xi Ligui said, “Sister Moya mentioned that a high-ranking professional arrived on the island yesterday, and it might be suspicious that their arrival coincided with this mission, making us wonder if there’s an issue.”

...

“Some kind of trickery?”

Xi Ligui shook her head and said, “It’s unlikely. These reinforcements are personally sent by the local associations; there shouldn’t be any issues. If we encounter problems, it would be difficult for them to evade involvement.”

Wu Heng felt that made sense.

Being linked to the local association was akin to having a real-name address.

If you send a false message and something goes wrong, the association will conduct an immediate investigation.

At that point, with various interrogations and lie-detecting devices at their disposal, nothing would stay hidden if there were issues.

“We should still be cautious,” he said.

“Yes!” Xi Ligui nodded, then asked, “Which squad do you plan to take over?”

“Squad 11,” he replied.

Xi Ligui frowned slightly, looking at him, “The newest squad? Are you acquainted with them?”

“When I was a squad member, we were in the same squad. She has some backing from outside leaders, so I suggested she be transferred over,” Wu Heng explained.

“Your squad members have all been promoted quickly,” Xi Ligui commented.

A vice-executive and a squad captain.

The people in his squad were indeed rising swiftly.

“It’s alright,” Wu Heng said nonchalantly.

After thinking for a moment, Xi Ligui said, “Squad 11 is shorthanded, and you know this mission might be dangerous. It would be best to take a full squad instead. I’m only suggesting, though; the choice is yours.”

Wu Heng understood her point, “I’ll check the situation with her at that time.”

Xi Ligui nodded, “We’ll meet at the entrance at noon; the journey should take about two days, so have your food and fresh water prepared.”

“Alright.”

Xi Ligui went into her own study.

Wu Heng headed straight for the morgue to transform the body of Captain ‘Poison Crocodile’.

A Level 13 Skeleton Warrior stood up from the ground.

Wu Heng named it ‘Poison Crocodile’ and had it don armor to cover its bones before bringing it back to his office study.

…

Inside the study.

Andre Willow was grooming the feathers of a small owl.

Seeing Wu Heng return, she smiled and greeted her master.

Sitting down at his desk, Wu Heng said, “Wei’er, the steward has assigned a task that involves traveling out of town. I’ll be gone for a few days. You and Mini will stay on the island. During trips to and from the association, this Skeleton Warrior will also be responsible for protecting you.”

Andre Willow blinked, knitting her brows slightly, “A task out of town? Shall I accompany you? It would be better for taking care of you on the way.”

“Xi Ligui and two other squads will be there. Bringing someone along to take care of me would just invite ridicule,” he said.

“Not at all, they’d be envious if anything. Let me accompany you!” Andre Willow came over, coaxing softly.

“I’ll be back in a couple of days. You need to keep an eye on things here, especially Mini. Make sure she doesn’t run around while I’m gone,” Wu Heng still insisted.

Taking a maid on a mission was just too strange.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Plus, as a vice-executive, he had to be mindful of his reputation when outside.

Andre Willow realized she shouldn’t insist on following and reluctantly agreed, nodding, “Alright, but once I reach a higher level, you can take me with you when you go out.”

“Alright,” Wu Heng nodded, then continued, “We’re leaving at noon. Wei’er, go to the tavern and order some food, prepare enough for a two-day journey.”

“Yes, master.” Andre Willow put on her coat, ready to leave.

Before she left, Wu Heng added, “Oh, and ask ‘Cavina’ to come see me.”

“Okay!”

Andre Willow answered and walked out the door.

Before long, the door was knocked on again, and Cavina walked in directly.

Glancing at the few skeleton attendants standing in the room, she asked curiously, “Did you need me for something?”

Wu Heng motioned for her to sit down and asked, “Have you been adjusting well these past two days?”

Cavina smiled, “Everything’s been pretty good, the weather and the scenery here are so much nicer than in Black Stone Town.”

“If there’s anything you need, let me know, and I’ll have someone prepare it for you.”

“Okay, thanks, everyone’s been really friendly, it’s good to have support,” Cavina said with a sense of gratitude.

Wu Heng nodded then asked, “Has the steward recommended any team members to you?”

“I’ve already added two people to the team, one is a Short person shield warrior, and the other is a human Ranger, we are still getting used to each other.”

“Short people are suitable for the shield warrior profession?”

The characteristics of the shield warrior profession lie in defense and protection, and the Short people’s stature gives the impression that they might not be well-suited for shield warriors.

Cavina said with a laugh, “Actually, it’s not bad, Short people’s physical strength is no less than that of humans.”

“Well, that’s good then,” Wu Heng continued, “I have a mission that requires a journey out, and there might be some danger. Would you be willing to come with me?”

Without much hesitation, Cavina immediately said, “I’m willing to go, as long as you don’t mind that our team is small.”

Wu Heng nodded, “Then get ready. Meet here with your squad members at noon, and remember to keep it secret. The real mission will be disclosed to your team members just before we set off.”

“Understood,” Cavina nodded solemnly.

“By the way, do you have a Space Ring?”

“Uh… no,” said Cavina.

The levels of association personnel vary from place to place.

In Black Stone Town, even Slyther didn’t have a Space Ring, let alone a small team leader like Cavina.

Whereas in Gold and Silver Island, you could get a Space Ring just by killing a Level 13 pirate.

Of course, the level of a pirate captain is often higher than that of a local steward.

Wu Heng took out a ring and handed it to her, “It’s 5 cubic meters. Prepare some food and fresh water; these are necessities at sea.”

Cavina looked at the Space Ring, somewhat unsure whether to accept it.

Having come to seek help was already taking a great advantage, and now to take something of his, she felt a bit embarrassed.

“It’s not necessary. I can just prepare a package.”

“Consider it sold to you. You can pay me back when you have money,” he said.

Hearing his insistence, Cavina didn’t say any more, thanked him, and put on the Space Ring.

“I’ll go and get ready then.”

“Okay, meet at the door at noon, and don’t be late.”

“Understood.”

After Cavina left, Wu Heng began to sort through the items in his Space Ring.

He arranged all the items he might need into one ring for easy access when the time came.

Soon, Andre Willow also came back.

He brought out all the food and drinks they had ordered.

Wu Heng packed them all up.

At noon.

Wu Heng and Cavina’s squad waited for a while, then Cavina arrived with the first team.

They took a coach to the port.

Then they boarded a ship and sailed away from the port.

…

Inside the cabin.

The Illuminating Stones above swayed gently with the ship.

All the team members sat in a circle inside the quiet cabin.

Xi Ligui spoke, “This mission is to investigate the Evil Cult issue in ‘Lopaz City.’ The fact that they’ve asked for help from Gold and Silver Island means the incident has exceeded the local capacity for investigation. Everyone must be very careful and cautious, and at the same time, be mindful of the association’s image abroad, and not abuse or kill the local residents using the association’s name.”
