Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, the old man leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling with cloudy eyes.

As if reminiscing about the past.

She said softly, "She seldom went out. She planted some flowers she liked in the yard and the basement, or stayed in the study, reading the books she bought. We were very happy at that time."

"Once she was out and was attacked by a wild beast in the forest. Fortunately, she was rescued by a passing mercenary. However, she became more and more strange after that."

The middle-aged man frowned as he spoke, and the guards behind him also remained quiet.

Waiting for his next story.

The old man continued, "I didn't notice it at first. I just thought she was frightened and in a trance. But as time went on, her condition became more and more strange. She lost her interest in growing flowers and reading books. Sometimes she talked to herself in the air, and sometimes she danced."

"One night, Gran... she went completely crazy. She ran and screamed crazily, rushed into the basement and knocked over the oil lamp. She stood in the fire and looked at me and laughed, like a devil who had finally succeeded."

"The fire was getting bigger and bigger. I wanted to go down to save people, but there was no other way."

"I could only watch as it was swallowed up by the fire little by little and disappeared."

"My level was too low at the time. If it had been higher, maybe the ending would not have been like this."

The old man's tone was full of regret and unwillingness.

It sounds like this isn't the first time the story has been told.

The cause and process are explained very clearly.

Seeing that the story did not continue, the middle-aged man looked at her with some sympathy, "It's not your fault."

There are many monsters that confuse the mind, and similar stories can be heard in past stories and rumors.

This kind of thing is most likely to happen to low-level humans in the wilderness.

The old man nodded and said, "It's all over. I just hope she won't blame me."

"How could she possibly blame you for being such a devoted gentleman like you?" the middle-aged man consoled her, noting that the atmosphere in the room was too depressing.

I found a new topic, "I will visit the island owner this afternoon. Do you want to come with me?"

The old man pondered and shook his head, "I will visit my friends on the island first, and then visit the island owner."

"fair enough."

As the two were talking, chaos ensued below once again.

Look down through the open window.

The rested bard walked up again, applied two statuses to himself, and said loudly: "The following is a great detective story, ..."

"Finally, it's time for the great detective story."

"Miss Bernie's story is so depressing, I'd rather listen to this."

“No matter how many times I hear it, this plot of finding the murderer through details is still so exciting.”

"No one can deceive the island master, no matter how good he is at lying."

Amid the discussions of the drinkers, the bard began his story.

In the private room upstairs, a middle-aged man was listening to the story attentively.

The old man's eyes flickered.

……

Island owner's mansion.

The three caravan representatives sat down respectfully.

The maid brought tea and cakes.

The first person said, "Master Island Master, I am the vice president of the Bucks Chamber of Commerce. This is a gift for you. I hope you don't mind."

As he spoke, three exquisite wooden boxes were taken out from the space ring.

Open them one by one.

At the top is a pair of silver cups with exquisite patterns.

Inside the wooden box in the middle is a porcelain plate with enamel-like work on the center.

At the very bottom is a jade-white hollow ivory carving that resembles ivory.

Each one is very exquisite.

It is a collection favored by the rich and powerful.

"Master Island Master, I am the regional representative of the Erlevi Chamber of Commerce. These are our gifts. They are all items produced by the Chamber of Commerce. I hope you don't mind."

The second Chamber of Commerce representative spoke.

He also took out a gift from the space ring.

There are two items in total, one is exquisite jade and the other is also porcelain.

"My Lord, this is the gift I brought."

Soon after, the third person also took out a gift, which was an exquisite rolled-up carpet and several pieces of brightly colored cloth.

These should all be products of their chamber of commerce.

The shape and style are both very exquisite.

These are also luxuries that are favored by the powerful and wealthy in this world.

But for Wu Heng, he actually doesn’t like it that much. He feels that it has no use other than looking good.

It would be better to give yourself some copper and melt it to make bullets.

"Thank you, I like the things very much." Wu Heng smiled and thanked him, then turned around and said, "Minnie, take these away first, and then go to the study and bring over three copies of the exhibits I prepared."

"Yes, Master." Minnie put away the gift and placed it on the shelf at the back.

Then he walked upstairs to the study.

Wait for Minnie to leave.

The vice president of the Bucks Chamber of Commerce spoke respectfully and directly said, "My Lord, this time I came here, in addition to being invited to participate in the exhibition, I also want to open a store on the island."

"Treasure Island is expanding, and you are welcome to open a store on the island." Wu Heng said directly.

The other party continued, "It's just that I want to ask you in advance, will the street lights in Lighthouse Street and the central area be used in the newly developed streets? As you know, all the shops on the main road have been sold, and we can't choose a location there if we want to open a store."

One person said, and the other two nodded.

It sounds like they want to choose a location with street lights to open a store.

Wu Heng said in a positive tone: "Don't worry about this. The street lights will cover all the commercial streets to be developed later. Just don't choose a place that is too remote."

"Then we feel relieved." The three of them smiled and nodded.

As they were talking, Minnie came down from upstairs.

Holding three thin gift boxes in his hands.

"Master." Minnie called obediently and put the gift box on the table.

Wu Heng waved his hand and said, "This is for the three of you. It's also our latest gift."

The three of them exchanged a few polite words and still took it.

Open the gift box to reveal a round object.

The surface is smooth and shiny, and it looks like it is made with great care.

Wu Heng introduced: "This is a fountain pen. We have improved the product by using the quill pen. It is more convenient to carry and write with. It will replace the quill pen in the future."

The three of them looked at the pens in their hands with some confusion in their eyes.

After careful observation, he gently applied force and opened the pen cap directly, revealing the nib inside.

When he saw the lines on the tip of the pen, his eyes froze.

So detailed!

There are also patterns on it.

"Let me show you."

Seeing that several people didn't know how to use it, Wu Heng took out a pen from his space ring.

Under the gaze of the three people, the demonstration began.

"This is the pen cap. You can open it and write."

Then he unscrewed the back end of the pen, revealing the ink sac. "Here is the ink sac. Just suck up the ink and you can write normally. You don't need to carry it with you every time like with a quill pen."

Just a little demonstration.

The three of them already understood the purpose and characteristics of the fountain pen.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

It doesn't look difficult, but the improvement from a quill pen to a fountain pen is definitely a very clever design.

But not everyone has a space ring that can hold a quill pen and ink.

This fountain pen solves all the drawbacks of the quill pen.

It looks like just an improvement.

The practicality has increased dramatically.

It goes without saying that this product will become a hit and a best-selling writing instrument.

Moreover, the workmanship is very fine, especially the soft ink sac. If you want to imitate it, you don’t know what materials to use.

“Did you design this?”

"Master Island Master, have the pens started to be sold in the market?"

"I think we can talk about the agency sale."

The three of them were slightly excited and spoke.

Wu Heng smiled, "It has not been sold to the market yet, but it will be exhibited at this exhibition. It won't be too late to discuss cooperation after we have determined the price. There are many styles and they are all very beautiful."

The three of them were stunned, and immediately nodded in agreement.

It seems that this exhibition will really have some new items that will revolutionize the past.

As they were chatting, footsteps were heard from the courtyard.

Robey walked in with Shannella, who was wearing an elegant long dress, and the housekeeper who accompanied her.

He glanced at the people in the room and bowed slightly, "Master Island Master."

Wu Heng nodded and introduced, "This is Shannara, the president of the Star Flower Chamber of Commerce. She is also the consultant of this Treasure Island Exhibition and is responsible for the venue layout and item selection."

Three people came from outside.

But obviously he had also heard of Shannara's name.

He immediately stood up, "Lady Shannella."

"Sit down!" Shannara said lightly.

The three of them sat down, and Shannella asked with great aura, "Are all your chambers of commerce going to participate in the exhibition?"

One person replied, “Yes, it’s registered at the city hall.”

Shannella then asked, "What goods are involved?"

"We are some beautifully crafted silverware, very popular among the rich and powerful and the royal family."

"We have prepared some cloth and tapestries here, and the quality is also good."

“We are jade jewelry.”

Shannella nodded, "The daily necessities exhibition area is on the first floor. You can bring your goods in tomorrow afternoon. Don't go too early to give the upstairs exhibition area time to enter."

"Yes, yes!" The three nodded immediately.

With Shannara's joining, chatting officially became work.

Everyone was talking about the exhibition.

We sat in the room and chatted for a while.

The three of them stood up and said goodbye.

Wu Heng and Shannara walked them out the door and waved goodbye.

Returning to the room, Shannara said, "It's nothing serious. Why did you ask me to come here?"

"With you here, I feel at ease." Wu Heng stepped forward and put his arm around the other person's shoulders.

"You are just lazy. Leave everything to us." Shannara complained.

Just said two sentences.

Minnie went to open the door again, and then came back and said, "Master, two more caravans are coming."

Wu Heng glanced at Shannella.

He kissed her hard on the face, then pulled away, "Bring them in!"

……

dusk.

After dinner, Wu Heng went straight upstairs to the study.

I originally wanted to go to the zombie world today to upgrade Benny, but many of those who came to the island one after another came to visit me at the island owner's mansion.

It would be inappropriate for me to just shut myself up and not see him, so I received him.

One day passed.

It’s not a bad thing that so many people have come to the island.

The visit of these powerful businessmen to the island is a promotion for the island and also an expansion of their own reputation.

In the future, it would be nice to create a place for vacation and tourism.

As for the exhibition, all goods will be brought in tomorrow and it will be open to the public the day after tomorrow.

Wu Heng walked back to the study.

Sitting down at the desk, Glenda put down the pen in his hand and said, "Tomorrow is the time for distributing newspapers, which coincides with the exhibition. Should we postpone it?"

It's time to publish the newspaper again.

Wu Heng shook his head. "No, we can just sell it normally. It's a good opportunity to show the popularity of the newspaper while the caravans are coming to the island."

"Well, that's OK. You're much more thoughtful than before." Glenda praised with a smile.

Xiao Xiao also pinched her waist and said, "Yeah, uncle has made great progress."

Penny snickered.

Wu Heng looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao, after this is over, let's go back to your mother's place and see how your skills are going."

"Okay, I miss my mother too, but as for my skills, uncle, don't hold too high hopes." Xiaoxiao looked as if he knew the outcome.

"Have faith in your mother."

"Well, I hope she can succeed." Xiao Xiao said.

Wu Heng glanced at her and asked, "When your mother has learned the skills, how would you like to help her?"

"Me?" Xiao Xiao fell into deep thought. After circling in the air for two or three times, she said, "Let her level up a bit, or find her a boyfriend. I don't know... Let's talk about it later."

Wow, that’s quite avant-garde.

I also want to find a boyfriend for my mother.

"Then we'll talk about it then."

"Then I'll go to the movies." Xiao Xiao said and left.

Benny also left and went to the movies together.

Wu Heng stood aside and poured himself a cup of tea.

His eyes fell on Glenda who continued to flip through the book.

Curiously asked, "Glenda, I haven't asked you yet, what was your ex-husband's name?"

"Ex-husband? What a strange name. It sounds like I have had several." Glenda looked at me unhappily.

"Just call him whatever you want. I don't know what to call him." Wu Heng took the tea and took a sip.

"Magnolo, a bard."

"How do you know for sure that he was the one who set fire to the house, or did you turn into a ghost and see him?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

Glenda suddenly became a little indifferent and flustered.

Even in a semi-transparent state, one can see a sense of panic.

No one would want to recall bad experiences, especially death.

"I was still conscious at the time, and he tied me to a chair in the basement, broke the oil lamp, and watched me being engulfed in flames," Granda said.

"I have been a ghost for an unknown period of time. My home has become a ruin. It must have been a long time ago."

Wu Heng nodded, it seemed that the other party really wanted to kill her.

Took it to the basement and broke the oil lamp.

In that kind of environment, there is no way to escape.

"I understand. Think about where he might have gone. After the exhibition is over, we will go find him. We must find him alive or dead." Wu Heng said directly.

This kind of hatred is good.

There is no room for relaxation.

"Okay." Glenda forced a smile, "If you had taken over Rentam City earlier, these things might not have happened."

"Don't think too much. I will help you get revenge." Wu Heng said seriously.

"Yeah." Glenda nodded.

"I'm going for a rest."

"Okay, take care of yourself and tell your little maids to keep their voices down," Glenda teased.

"You're the one eavesdropping!"

……

The night passed.

The streets in the early morning were filled with thick humidity.

Gradually, the whole street became more and more crowded.

At this time, the newspaper men appeared in everyone's sight.

He walked quickly to each intersection and stood there.

Hold up the newspaper in your hand.

He shouted, "Take a look, take a look, a new issue of the newspaper. Tomorrow the West Street Fair will officially begin. All caravans will display their wares. A new story of the great detective will be out. New cases, new stories, and the same excitement. 65 coppers, first come first served..."

Almost at the same time, similar shouts were heard on every road section of Treasure Island.

……

Whooped.

The dense crowd instantly surrounded the newspaper man.

There are several layers inside and outside.

"There are new stories, and the great detective is not finished yet."

"Great, there's a new story to listen to."

“I don’t know what the case is this time.”

"Don't push. There's nothing to push."
