The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 429: Chapter 357, Controlling Spouse (One update today.)

Xi Ligui left, and Wu Heng directly headed to the Steward’s Office.

He knocked on the door lightly and pushed it open to enter.

Imilo was still sitting behind the desk, organizing documents.

He looked up at him and asked, “Why didn’t you perform Wenshi yesterday?”

“There were some other clues, so I wasn’t in a rush to perform Wenshi,” Wu Heng said.

“This involves framing a Vice-executive of the association, which is no small matter. Don’t delay the progress of the case,” Imilo reminded him as he set the documents aside.

This was referring to his not having conducted Wenshi on the body.

“I understand,” Wu Heng continued to explain, “This body was brought to the island from the cargo ship after I was suspended, so the crucial clue is still the murderer who killed the Stag Merchant Group manager.”

“Do you have any leads now?”

“Only some fragmented clues, still investigating!”

Imilo glanced at him and said, “I’ll give you one day.”

“Understood!”

“Alright, go divide the spoils of war with Moya!”

“Okay!”

…

Moya walked over from the side.

He waved his hand over the coffee table.

The spoils from yesterday were laid out in turn on the table.

Weapons, armor, various items and scrolls, a bag of Gold Coins, a large number of silver coins, and a book.

The variety was not lacking, and the number of Gold Coins far exceeded the silver coins.

“Two Special Items, six magic items, thirteen scrolls, and one book,” Moya said from the side.

Wu Heng’s gaze fell on the Special Items.

Besides the Nebula Evil Sword (Special Item) he had seen yesterday, there was another, the Thug’s Armguard (Special Item).

[Thug’s Armguard (Special Item)]

[Effect: Wearer’s movements become more agile.]

[Side effect: Decrease in sanity.]

(Description: Strength should be confronted head-on.)

The second Special Item was beneficial for mobility, but the cost was high.

The loss of sanity.@@novelbin@@

Such Special Items that affect one’s mental state can be quite fatal.

Fighting isn’t just a contest of physical strength; it’s also about mental engagement and strategic battles.

The emptier the mind becomes in a fight, the more fatal it can be.

“The Nebula Evil Sword is quite famous, with the ability to appear behind a target during combat, while its side effect inflicts psychological effects on the user,”

“The second one, the Thug’s Armguard, can make the wearer’s movements more swift during combat, with the side effect being a tendency to act impulsively,” Moya softly introduced as he saw him looking at the two Special Items.

Wu Heng nodded and looked at the magic items.

There were many types of magic items, two of which were still Single-edged Longswords, with the magic effects being sharpness and armor penetration.

The rest of the magic items were namely a [Space Ring (5 cubic meters)], [Veiled Cloak], [Firestone Ring], and [Magic Censer].

There were a fair number of items.

But they weren’t of much use to him.

His gaze continued to move, passing over several single-use Magical Scrolls, and finally landed on the last book, [Magic Tattoo].

When he was fighting ‘Kerim,’ the other party’s tattoos manifested a rather strange fighting method.

Moreover, moving close to the ground, physical attacks were hardly effective against such tattoos.

It seemed like it had to do with this book.

Did he tattoo himself?

A hand tattooing the other arm?

Moya had given a general introduction, mainly about the Special Items and magic items, and continued, “The most valuable here is the Evil Sword. Special Item weapons are rare and expensive. My suggestion is to count the Evil Sword as one lot and the rest of the Special Items and items as another lot.”

Wu Heng frowned.

The value of this Evil Sword was so high!

One item could match the value of all the other items.

“I have no objections!”

“Alright, you choose first!” Moya said.

Wu Heng immediately responded, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony, I’ll take this Evil Sword.”

He possessed a few Special Items, but their effects were more auxiliary in nature.

For instance, the Corpse-Wrap’s invisibility effect, the veil’s illusion effect, and the Tracing Locket’s person-tracking ability.

Once in combat, they could hardly make a significant impact.

And this Evil Sword, even if he wasn’t very skilled in swordsmanship,

being able to use it to suddenly appear behind an enemy could still be quite threatening.

It could at least give one’s opponent a scare.

Moya didn’t say much more and collected the other items, passing the Evil Sword to him, “Yours.”

“Thank you!” Wu Heng took it and also stowed it in his Space Ring.

The trade was concluded.

Wu Heng stood up, “Steward, I have made my choice.”

“Alright, hurry up and resolve the matter with the Stag Commerce Association.”

“Got it!” Wu Heng nodded and left the office.

…

After leaving the Steward’s Office, Wu Heng directly went to his own office.

He picked up the records of the Skeleton Investigator I glanced at them, with no important entries.

It seemed like Kalemah stayed in his room and didn’t talk much.

He took out the newly exchanged Evil Sword and observed it carefully.

He drew the Longsword from its scabbard.

The blade was sharp, exuding a fierce intent to kill.

In the open space, he practiced a couple of swordsmanship movements.

He muttered, “I wonder how strong Imilo really is?”

As he said this,

Wu Heng suddenly startled, and his hairs stood on end.

For a moment, he indeed had the idea of challenging ‘Imilo.’

He had grown too bold.

A man whose presence alone deterred pirates from approaching the shore, placed by the association on Gold and Silver Island to intimidate the Island Master.

Why had he thought of challenging the man?

Then, his gaze fell on the weapon in his hand.

[Side effect: Influences the holder’s temperament.]

Could it be what this meant?

Had the weapon influenced him?

“I have Enhance Will, how could it still affect me?”

He tossed the weapon onto the table.
