Chapter 619, Somewhat awesome
Retili clapped her hands behind her.
Staff came in carrying two wooden coffins.
With the bumps, dirt was scattered in the gaps between the wooden coffins.
Two dull sounds of landing, and the wooden coffin was placed in the middle space.
The staff turned around and left, closing the door.
Retili glanced at the wooden coffin and said: "I collected the corpses of two mages for you. It took some effort and took some risks."
“Thank you for your hard work,” Wu Heng said.
For the risks that Retili mentioned.
Wu Heng didn't care too much.
For a force whose business direction is mainly in gray industries, there is no such thing as being risk-free.
Of course, the other party's meaning is also more obvious. The corpse of a mage is more difficult to obtain than other professions.
Wu Heng waved his hand towards the skeleton, and the skeleton attendant beside him quickly walked over.
The coffin was opened, revealing two corpses with different degrees of decay.
Retili said, "The first corpse is a level 11 illusion mage, and the second corpse is a level 7 mage. The faction has not investigated, and it may be a conjuration or evocation type."
"I'm very satisfied. How much more money do I need to give you?" Wu Heng said calmly.
“You also need to pay 2 gold and 150 silver.”
The price of corpses is much more expensive than in the past. The reward for a level 10 wanted criminal is only three to four hundred silver.
The corpse actually received gold coins.
Wu Heng nodded, casually took out 2 gold coins and a leather bag of silver coins and handed them to the other party.
Retili took it happily and then asked: "Continue to fill in the entrustment?"
“Continue to fill in.”
Retili went out to get the commission. Wu Heng asked the skeleton to cover the two coffins and put the space ring into himself.
Not long after, Retili came back.
Holding a plate of pastries in his hand, he picked up a piece with his green-white fingers and brought it to Wu Heng's mouth, "Try the pastries I just ordered from outside."
Wu Heng did not open his mouth and said, "I'm getting older and can't eat anything too sweet."
“It sounds like you are very old.” Leitili didn't feel embarrassed and put it into her mouth casually.
“Human beings have a short life span, so they will naturally age faster,” Wu Heng said.
While filling out the request, Leitili said: "No matter how old you are, you are not as old as me."
“I don't know how many people are envious of you elves, because you are so good-looking and have a long lifespan.” Wu Heng sighed with emotion.
In other words, all races will envy the elves.
A race that looks elegant and beautiful and lives a long time.
Retili continued to talk casually, "There are some ways to extend your life. When you really need it, I will issue a commission for you."
"It can't be that easy. Even the old king of Yeke Kingdom has not escaped the fate of death, let alone ordinary professionals like us." Wu Heng said, his eyes fell on Leitili's white chest exposed when she bent over. .
"Do you have any misunderstandings about ordinary professionals?" Leitili seemed to notice the other person's gaze, looked up with a smile, and then leaned over to fill out the entrustment again, "The royal family needs to be replaced. It has its own rules and does not allow others to do so. Extreme way to extend your life.
But there are still many ways to extend life, such as the living corpses of the Necronomicon faction and the Secret Order. They have been collecting ways to survive. "
The extension of one's life is indeed a direction that the Esoteric Order has been studying.
These people have money and status, and all they want to do is how to live longer.
Wu Heng came into contact with two strange objects, one of which was the [Sacrifice Wooden Staff].
Yazd, the former deacon of Blackstone Town, wanted to use this rare item to "seize" himself, but he didn't expect that he would improve faster, so he failed.
The second item is the [Blood Cup], a rare item of the Vampire Tribe. You can gradually transform into the Vampire Tribe form by drinking blood.
Later, I handed it over to 'Lilith', which was considered to be a connection with the other party.
There are indeed many such things in the Esoteric Order.
“As you said, it's not a bad idea to join the Secret Order. It might help extend your life.” Wu Heng said. "It is not something that ordinary people can join. Moreover, the Secret Order attaches great importance to obedience and will often put forward some conditions that break the bottom line to verify your obedience." Leitili said with a smile, and filled out the order form. Set aside.
It sounds like Retili still knows something about the Secret Order.
At least, I know that there is an obedience test.
“It's better not to join this kind of organization.”
Retili nodded and continued, "In addition to the Secret Order, I have also heard some rumors, such as replacing internal organs or blood, becoming a believer of a certain god, and letting people regenerate themselves."
Hearing the last one, Wu Heng's eyes widened a bit, "How did it happen?"
“I don't know, it's just some news that came out.” Leitili replied with a smile.
Then he rolled his eyes, looked at the other person carefully, and took out a book from the space ring, "Have you read a new book that arrived in the city recently?"
On the cover, there is an image of Wu Heng wearing a windbreaker.
You can tell at a glance that it is a great detective novel.
Wu Heng didn't expect that she had read it, "I heard that it is a best-seller on Treasure Island. It was written based on the personal experience of the new island owner."
“Yes, what a magical person. He seemed to appear suddenly, and then everyone around him knew him.” Leitili's eyes flickered.
“You like this story?”
“Anyway, it's better than those heroic stories. I heard that there is a store selling autographs on Treasure Island. I asked someone to buy it for me. I don't know if I can buy it.” Retili said seriously.
“It shouldn't be difficult to spend some money and have him sign one for you.”
“That makes no sense.” Leitili raised her head again, looked straight into the eyes with a smile, and asked: “Do you think this Wuheng Island Master will become a hero?”
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze unchanged.
When the other party told me about this, there was a kind of temptation in his tone.
Collect the corpses by yourself, accompanied by guards who are suspected of being undead attendants.
The time of appearance was very close to that of the island owner who was in the prime of his life.
Retili sits in a local consortium. Even though she acts like she takes money to do things, she is definitely a smart person.
It is estimated that he has been guessing his identity for a long time, or has already determined it.
It doesn't matter if you guess or not.
Now that I am level 19, and with the association as my backer, not everyone is a threat to me.
Wu Heng said with a smile: "If he is as powerful as you say, he should be able to become a hero."
“Now that you've said it, we may not be far from becoming a hero.”
Return to Treasure Island.
The time has arrived in the afternoon.
Take a carriage back and pass by Beacon Street. The road becomes a little crowded because of the crowd.
The street lights were erected one by one, and the crowd moved forward little by little along with the street lights.
There is no electricity and no light can be seen.
I don't know what the crowd around is looking at.
The carriage moved slowly, and the chatter of the surrounding crowd began to enter the carriage.
“In the past few months, Treasure Island has changed more than in years.”
“The island owner is not an ordinary person. He is so powerful. He is also a mage. He must be better than those before.”
“I have a daughter at home, who is about the same age as the island owner.”
“Isn't your daughter just 6 years old? She's almost there.”
“Let's get along first, and a few years will be enough.”
“I heard that the island owner likes orc girls, the one who often brings escorts to Beacon Street.”
“I like orcs, but they are rare.”
“Somewhat awesome!”
