Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 538: Talk to the Elders

Although Babuqi was unwilling, he still maintained his last bit of dignity.

Every pirate knows what his ultimate fate will be: either death at sea or death at the hands of the association.

The fact that he had survived the great battle of the Emerald Sea and died behind the Pirate King and various large pirate groups was already something worth bragging about.

Also worth it.

When Xi Lagui heard the other party's attitude, she raised her eyebrows and said according to the original arrangement: "Babqi, the association intends to give you a chance. It depends on whether you are willing or not."

Babuzi, who had just adjusted his mentality and was ready to die heroically, suddenly stopped.

He wanted to curse the association and shout a few words that the sea warriors would not surrender, but he swallowed it back.

Tentatively asked, "What chance?"

No one wants to die, otherwise they wouldn't wait for Philippa to find a connection for them.

When you hear there's a chance to survive, you naturally want to seize it.

Xi Lagui put her hands behind her back and looked at the other person. "We are currently investigating a cult and we are in need of someone to act as a spy. Your identity is very suitable."

Babuqi frowned and asked himself to be a spy for the association.

Sure enough, it’s still the association’s old routine.

But the association has always kept its promises in this regard, and Philippa was able to get rid of her pirate identity by acting as a spy for the association.

"What cult? I have never come into contact with any cult."

Xi Lagui explained, "The Tianming Church is a newly established church with few members. They are recruiting strong people from all over the country. If you join the church at your level, you can almost get a position as a protector or a backbone."

On the side, Wu Heng also understood why he came here.

It turned out that they wanted to send Babuqi out as a spy.

Given his status, investigating the affairs of the Tianming Sect is a good idea.

Babuqi thought for a moment, "Is there any other choice?"

"Yes, hanging or beheading. You are Philippa's friend, so you can choose one!" Xilagui's tone was calm, but her words were a little scary.

Babuqi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "If you let me out now, won't they suspect me?"

"They are not pirates, and they don't pay attention to the Emerald Sea. By then, your wanted reward will increase, and they won't have time to check your identity." Xilagui replied.

Babuqi didn't have any better choice. Either die now or go out and fight.

Normal people would choose the second option.

If I'm lucky and really get some information, it can be considered a meritorious service.

Even if there is no information, you can live longer.

"What do I need to do to complete your task?" Babuzi asked.

"Just one thing, find the bishop of the Destiny Cult. If you can provide information about the cult's strongholds in various places, or the identities of some of its backbone members, we can also put you on the file. It will be helpful to you in the future." Xi Lagui looked at him and said softly.

Babuqi took a deep breath and said, "I agree. I am willing to cooperate with you."

"Let him out." said Xilagui.

Wu Heng looked to his side and saw the skeleton servant stepped forward and opened the iron cage.

Babuzi walked out carefully, looking carefully at the two of them and the skeleton servants behind them.

Xilagui threw a hood to him and said, "Put it on and go out with us."

Babuqi took it in his hand and put it carefully on his head.

Then they walked out of the dungeon together.

He didn't choose to run away, nor did he do anything else.

This chance to survive was rare, and he didn't want to be thrown back into jail or sent directly to the gallows.

All the way to the deacon's study.

Waited for a while.

There was a knock on the door, and a team leader walked in with a sword hanging from his waist.

"Deacon, island master!"

Xilagui nodded and signaled the slovenly pirate with her eyes. "The association intends to give Babuzi, the captain of the Flying Fish Pirates, a chance to make amends. Go investigate the intelligence of the Destiny Cult. I will hand him over to you. Sign a slave contract with him and collect some intelligence regularly."

After saying that, he took out the slave contract, placed it on the table and pushed it to the other party.

The captain of Team One looked at the other side without any surprise or doubt.

It seems that he knew about this in advance.

He nodded and said, "Yes, Deacon."

Then take out the contract directly and sign it with the other party.

After the signing is completed.

Xi Lagui continued: "Find an opportunity to release him and tell him the detailed information about the Tianming Cult."

"Yes! Then I'll take him back first and send him off the island tonight."

"Okay, you make your own arrangements."

The captain nodded and left the study with the pirates.

……

Wait until the two of them leave.

Xi Laguicai said: "It will be easier to collect intelligence and record files if we hand him over to Team One."

Wu Heng smiled and replied, "Your arrangement is very good. He was able to save his life, which can be regarded as an explanation to Philippa."

It is actually quite rare to be able to get this opportunity.

How can you ask for so much?

Moreover, the Tianming Sect involves professionals at level 18, and the other party’s bishop will definitely not be lower than this level.

Add to that the human sacrifice and murder of the association's deacons, and the situation has become quite serious.

It was Babuqi's luck to have such an opportunity to get the information.

Otherwise, death is certain.

"I'm afraid you're not satisfied, so I'll explain it to you. You can also tell Philippa then, but you can't tell this to anyone else. It still has to be kept secret." Xilagui said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll tell her then." Wu Heng nodded.

Xi Lagui continued, "By the way, the association did not approve the funding for the port construction. They said that the association was originally to assist local security, and the port would be provided by Treasure Island."

“This hasn’t even been approved!” Wu Heng touched his chin.

I feel that building a port will be beneficial to both Treasure Island and the association.

In the end, it was not approved.

"Well, I said no. If it were up to you, the association would have to build roads for other cities."

"You can't say that. A dedicated port is convenient for us," Wu Heng emphasized.

"It hasn't been approved anyway, so there's no point in telling me." Xilagui curled her lips.

"It's okay. If we don't get approval, we can fix it ourselves." Wu Heng smiled and continued to ask, "Does the association have any news about the props to restrain ghosts?"

"It was just delivered. I feel like there must be corresponding props, but it's unlikely that they'll be given to us for free."

"As long as it's available," Wu Heng said.

The two sat in the room and chatted for a while.

Someone came to see Xilagui to report something, and Wu Heng did not stay long. He said hello, left the association directly, and took a carriage to Lighthouse Street.

……

The carriage moved forward slowly.

Pull open the curtain of the carriage and you can see the guards patrolling outside the window.

After the incident with the Heavenly Mandate Cult was resolved, the number of guards patrolling the island increased and the number of patrols increased.

Wu Heng is also considering equipping each team with walkie-talkies and establishing a transmission center on the island to make it easier to mobilize personnel.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the 'Nautilus' tavern, and Wu Heng got off and walked into the tavern.

There weren't many people in the pub at this time.

There were only two tables of guests, drinking and chatting.

Wu Heng greeted Millicent behind the counter and went straight upstairs.

Entered the innermost single room.

As soon as I sat down, the door was pushed open and Philippa, wearing a brown top and beige skirt, walked in.

Seeing Wu Heng, he took two steps and rushed over.

Wu Heng stood up and caught the figure rushing towards him, "If I couldn't react in time, you could have jumped out of the window."

"How could that be!" Philippa looked up at him. "I haven't seen you for a long time!"

"You just came back from the Island Master's Mansion the day before yesterday."

"Ah? Really? I missed you so much then." Philippa leaned into his arms.

Wu Heng hugged her and patted her gently, saying, "I came here to tell you that your pirate friend will be released in the next two days, so don't worry."

"Really? I've already chosen a grave for him."

Wu Heng frowned, "Do you want him to come out?"

Philippa immediately said, "Of course I have. It would be better if he could come out. I will pick him up when he is released."

Wu Heng lowered his voice and explained, "You can't go pick him up. Xilagui gave him a chance to make amends and collect some intelligence. His identity is kept secret. If you go to pick him up, something will go wrong."

Philippa's eyes widened, "Can he do it? Many people outside should know that he was arrested by the association."

"It's okay. They are not pirates from the Emerald Sea. They are most likely heading inland."

"That's fine. That's all I can do to help him," Philippa said.

"Well, what will happen in the end depends on his own fate."

Philippa held the other's face and kissed him hard, "Thank you, Dad. You are still the best."

Wu Heng patted her waist and hips, "You deserve it after your hard work."

"I love hearing you talk," said Philippa, and she began to take off her shirt.

Wu Heng was stunned and grabbed her hand, "What?"

"What else can I do? Go to sleep. You..." Philippa glanced down, "Is it inconvenient today?"

"What a mess. I'm going out later. Let's go to the manor tonight."

"What about Millicent?"

Millicent?

Wu Heng looked at her strangely, "What should I do?"

"I'm worried about leaving her at home, so I'll go over during the day for the next two days, and you can make me feel comfortable."

Wu Heng pinched her cheek and said, "From what you said, you sound just like a bandit."

"hey-hey."

"I've told you what's going on. I'm going to go do something first. If you have time, come to the manor. I'm always available at dusk."

"Okay, Dad, I'll remember that."

Wu Heng touched her head and left the Nautilus Tavern.

……

I went to the expansion site to take a look.

Various construction machines were working rapidly, some construction workers began to build houses, and a large number of workers were helping on the side.

The speed is quite fast, and it probably won’t take long for this area to be completed.

It is also possible to arrange for further expansion backwards.

Wu Heng stood aside and watched for a while, then left the area.

I went to a deserted wilderness far away, put on the [conductor's hat], and headed to Lopez City.

At the Snake Emblem Foundation, I met the person in charge, 'Letili'.

He filled out the order and ordered five Flame Furnaces of different specifications.

……

When we returned to the manor, it was already dark.

Just walked into the living room.

Minnie came over and asked, "Master, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, let someone prepare it."

"Okay, and also, Sister Shannella is speaking on the radio, go check it out when you have time," Minnie said again.
