The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 1188 - Chapter 1188 Chapter 897

Chapter 1188: Chapter 897 Chapter 1188: Chapter 897 “Yes, Leader,” the Elf Elder adjusted his sitting posture and began, “Information about this site has been known for some time, initially brought to us by the local association in Kudeha City, which claimed that fishermen and coastal finds had unearthed some artifacts… .”

The room maintained silence, listening to the Elf Elder’s narration.

Setting aside the initial introduction, the remaining information is much simpler: the site is located in a deep-sea canyon, and the first archaeological team set off quite a while ago but has since completely disappeared without any trace.

The current archaeological team, formed by the Hongwen Association and the Hunters, constitutes the second group, led by two elders.

Wu Heng listened and nodded his head.

Although it was not explicitly stated, it seemed that the first team must have encountered danger.

Even though the transmission of news is slow in this world, it was not possible that there was still absolutely no information up to now.

“Leader, here are some records, you might want to take a look,” the Elf Elder took out some documents and records from his Space Ring.

Wu Heng took them and frowned as he looked them over.

Besides the patterns that had appeared on several puppets, there were other engravings like birds, beasts, and the like.

Wu Heng increasingly felt that this was connected to the ancient dynasties of his own world.

And the reason these two worlds were linked, was not hard to deduce.

The Bronze Key.

This key, clearly of ancient craftsmanship, was definitely not a modern artifact.

Wu Heng looked up at the other and said, “I have read the letter from Leader Claudio, he wishes for me to accompany you to avoid any danger.”

Now, he also understood why this team had waited on the island for him for three days.

The fact that no message had been sent back by the first archaeological team had also alerted them to potential danger.

If he, as a hero, could accompany them, there would be a significant reduction in risk.

“The first archaeological team included level 18 professionals, and since their disappearance, not a whisper has come back, there is indeed a possibility of danger,” said the Elf Elder.

Wu Heng nodded and continued to inquire, “How long will the journey take?”

“It will take about five days from Gold and Silver Island, and we need full preparation of food and freshwater, as we won’t stop for supplies mid-journey,” replied the elf.

Five days…

Ten days for a round trip, the distance is quite far.

But perhaps, once there, he could use the Phantom Train to return early, depending on how the journey went.

Wu Heng did not respond immediately but fell silent in contemplation.

The emergence of a link between Otherworld and his own world made it impossible not to be curious.

However, he still had some reservations about leaving with them.

Following them for the excavation might bring danger to Gold and Silver Island; it wasn’t certain that right after he left, news wouldn’t reach the ears of the Religious Leader.

He looked up again and said, “You all can stay one more day, I need to confirm arrangements with the city hall, and then I will notify you whether or not to come along.”

The Dwarf Elder of the Hunters stood up abruptly.

But when facing Wu Heng’s gaze, he immediately became respectful again and said, “Leader Sir, we have already delayed several days from the original plan.”

Dwarves are impatient by nature and speak bluntly.

Likewise, they are also easily offensive.

Wu Heng looked at him and asked, “Is there a time requirement?”

“There’s no fixed requirement, but since the first archaeological team has only disappeared, going earlier could potentially lead to finding survivors,” continued the dwarf.

Shi Yali interjected from the side, “Elder, do you really expect Leader Wu Heng to set out with you immediately upon hearing the news? Without any preparation at all?”

The Dwarf Elder’s eyes bulged in a glare, as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Someone pulled him from behind, and he sat down again.

Wu Heng briefly surveyed him, then said, “I will inform you tomorrow about whether or not to proceed, and you can also prepare whatever you need on the island.”

“We’ll wait for your news,” the Elf Elder agreed.

Wu Heng also nodded and added, “Let it be so, everyone go back and prepare.”

They all bowed and then left the meeting room directly.

Wu Heng, accompanied by the elf sisters, also left to return to the Steward’s Office.

…

Steward’s Office.

Shi Yali slammed the door shut, “That dwarf’s actions are inexplicable, still wanting Wu Heng to just go with him immediately, people normally need time to prepare!”

Xi Ligui returned to her seat, “That’s just how dwarves are. Those dwarfs talk to me like that all the time, and you’ve never gotten angry.”

Shi Yali’s expression stiffened, and she swallowed her words.

There’s a vice-executive dwarf in the association who is also quite aggravating when he speaks.

“I get angry too, all the time.”

After saying that, Shi Yali sat next to Wu Heng, held his arm, and asked, “Do you plan to go?”

Wu Heng thought for a moment and replied, “The only thing I’m worried about is what the Holy Court might do to Gold and Silver Island if I leave.”

“They brought two large ships, and your departure is sure to be learned,” said Xi Ligui, who then added, “But it shouldn’t be a big problem, the leader of Lilith is on the island and wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.”

The headquarters was mediating the conflict between the two sides.

If the Religious Leader came over, one person from Lilith would be enough to hold him back, and the current Pope would not join in attacking Gold and Silver Island.

Because the leader of the Hongwen Association is still in the Holy Hall of the Holy Court, he wouldn’t leave a hero there and come here to stir trouble on a small island.

As for sending some high-level professionals to cause trouble, that was even less likely.
