Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

"Where did you hear these things?" Joachim looked at her and asked.

Philippa leaned against the bar and said, "I was reading a book recently called A Brief History of Pirates. It said there was a pirate king before the Emerald Sea, and I was curious if it was true."

"You still know how to read?" Joachim asked suspiciously.

Philippa said: "If my father hadn't been a pirate, I would have been a key talent cultivated by the kingdom."

The tavern was silent for a moment, and then the pirates burst into laughter.

"How can you, a wild girl like you, be a talent?"

"Which kingdom is so unlucky that it would train you."

"The Iron Barrel Pirates only have three ships left in your hands. You are worse than your father."

Bang~!

Philippa slapped the bar hard and cursed loudly: "Fuck you, if I weren't a pirate, how could I be a member of the association? I will arrest you all and stab you in the butt with a wooden stick."

"Poke in the ass, poke in the ass."

The parrot also followed suit.

Hahaha~!

The laughter around them became even louder, and the whole tavern instantly became lively.

Philippa's face turned red with anger, and he continued to curse: "You guys laugh again, you have to pay for the matter of finding a woman yourself."

"No, no, no! You are talented."

"Yes, you can be a deacon in the association."

The pirates booed again.

Joachim also laughed for a while and said: "What is written in the book is of course true. It is normal for you young generation not to know."

Philippa ignored the other pirates and turned around and asked: "Is this pirate king really so powerful?"

"You must have seen Neptune's letter too!"

Philippa nodded, "I know, I robbed several ships, and that's the news in the letter. Is it really related to the Pirate King? Has he lived for so long?"

Joachim smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, without continuing.

Philippa frowned and said, "Boss Joachim, you don't know and you don't know, are you talking nonsense to me from here?"

Joachim frowned, "Of course I know more than you."

"Really or not, then who do you think this pirate king is?"

Joakim frowned and looked at her, looking up and down, "Are you so interested?"

Philippa was not shy at all. He drank and shook his legs, and said doubtfully, "Forget it if I don't know. I'll ask other pirate groups in the future."

Joachim looked suffocated and was about to speak.

There was a squeak.

The door of the tavern was pushed open, and the bartender walked in with several women wearing heavy makeup, twisting their waists, and instantly threw themselves into the arms of the pirates in the tavern.

Joachim also stood up and hugged the two women, "Philippa, do you want to stay with us tonight?"

Philippa waved her hand, "Forget it, you are too old."

Joachim laughed, hugged the woman and walked upstairs, saying: "I think you are quite pleasing to the wild girl. Don't go to sea recently. I will take you to have a long experience in two days. If you can pass the investigation ”

"What knowledge do you have?" Philippa asked.

Joachim's figure disappeared into the stairwell, and a voice came down, "About what you were curious about just now."

Philippa chased him to the stairs and shouted up: "Boss Joachim, you are more particular, like the kind-hearted Babucci."

There was no reply from upstairs.

Downstairs, the pirates and the women were already fighting.

Even the few pirates brought by Philippa buried their heads in the woman's chest.

Philippa glanced at all the pirates.

Cursing a few words, he walked out of the tavern with the parrot.

Wandered around the neighborhood along the street.

……

Wu Heng returned to Treasure Island.

Came down from upstairs.

Shanara is here today, chatting and laughing with the two maids on the first floor.

Not as shy as yesterday.

You could still faintly hear the three of them talking about Wu Heng's body, where he was ticklish, what movements he liked, and so on.

Wait for Wu Heng to get closer.

Only then did the three of them notice, their faces turned slightly red, and they immediately changed the topic and started talking about today's shopping.

Wu Heng sat down beside him and chatted with him.

Not long after, dinner was served, and the four of them sat at the dining table and started eating.

After dinner.

Minnie and Shanara went to play shuttlecock in the yard, while Wu Heng left Anderweil behind.

"Master, do you have any orders?" Andweier poured him a glass of water and asked curiously.

Wu Heng took a sip and said, "Has there been any progress on the kidnapping?"

Anderweil shook her head, "No news has reached me yet. I'll ask when I go to the association tomorrow."

"No, I'll go there tomorrow too," Wu Heng then asked, "Where's Millicent?"

"Mrs. Millicent is still living in the association's dormitory. There have been no rumors about Nautilus and the association in the past few days. Assistant Moya is making arrangements to let her out while building a relationship."

Wu Heng nodded, Moya would be more secure in arranging this matter.

"That's good, you can go play with them."

Anderweil responded and walked out of the room to play shuttlecock with Minnie and Shannella.

Wu Heng went back to the study to read for a while.

After nightfall, go back to your room and rest.

……

The next day, the Association Dungeon.

The heavy iron door was opened.

The young man dressed as a bartender walked down cautiously.

Passing through several iron cages along the way, identifying the prisoners lying on the ground inside, walked towards them.

Finally, in an iron cage, I saw a familiar figure and lowered my voice and said, "Boss, are you okay?"

In the cage, Millicent raised his head, joy flashing in his eyes, "How is it? Is the matter done?"

The bartender lowered his voice again: "It's done, all the money has been given away."

"Then when can you let me out?"

"I didn't say that." The bartender shook his head and then asked carefully: "Boss, this money won't be given away for free, right?"

"Probably not!"

The two whispered, and the iron door of the dungeon was opened again.

Two association guards walked down while chatting.

Millicent and the bartender immediately shut up and watched the two figures approaching.

The guard stood outside the iron cage and glanced inside, "Millicent, right?"

"Yes!" Millicent answered.

The guard opened the cage and said, "The investigation into your matter is over and you can leave."

"Thank you." Millicent walked out of the iron cage, thanked him, and walked out with the bartender.

After walking through the hall and walking out of the association door.

The bartender said dissatisfiedly: "I thought the association was better, but it's just asking for money randomly."

Millicent looked around and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go back first."

Called a carriage and rushed to Beacon Street.

Association upstairs.

Wu Heng looked at the disappearing carriage and closed the curtains again.

According to Moya's idea, Millicent will be locked up for a few days until there are some results on the assassination.

Let her go again.

After Wu Heng came over, he still planned to release him directly.

The association's clues have been cut off.

Moreover, the other party chopped off the head but did not take away the body.

Obviously there is a certain degree of certainty, and there is no point in delaying it.

Therefore, Millicent was released as planned today.

Anderweil said from behind: "Some people know that she is your spy, and they may not be able to collect any information by then."

"It's not a big problem. There are all kinds of rumors outside that are true or false. There are all kinds of theories, and they may not be able to spread." Wu Heng added, "If we can't collect any information, let her maintain this tavern and treat Fei. Lipa also gave an explanation.”

"Well, you're thoughtful."

Wu Heng turned around and touched her little head, "Okay, I'm going back first. If you don't have anything to do in the afternoon, go home early."

"Good host."

Wu Heng walked out of the association.

He stood at the door and thought for a moment, then walked in the direction of the Snake Emblem Consortium.

……

Entered the Snake Emblem Consortium with the skeleton attendant.

After showing his emblem, he was taken to the VIP room by the staff.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged staff member from before knocked on the door and walked in. He bowed and saluted, "Good morning, guest."

"Good morning, have you seen the result of the last commission I issued?" Wu Heng handed the emblem to the other party.

The middle-aged man took it and said, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he walked out directly.

Not long after, the man came back again, holding a wooden brocade box in his hand.

"Guest, the commission you issued has already collected a precious material, the blood of the aboleth. The remaining materials are still being collected."

The wooden box opened, revealing a glass bottle with a viscous red liquid inside.

"When can the rest of the materials be collected?" Wu Heng asked.

"I can't give you an accurate answer on this point. If I collect it, I will inform you." The middle-aged man continued.

"Okay, leave it to me."

After settling the balance, Wu Heng collected the materials.

After asking the other party to speed up the collection as much as possible, he also left the consortium.
