Chapter 1047, Shadow Mirror
Chapter 1047, Shadow Mirror
In the main hall of the church, candlelight flickered.
The priest held the letter in both hands, and glanced at Claudio beside him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
The Pope smiled slightly, his demeanor calm and majestic. "Speak, Master Claudio is our ally, there is no need to hide it."
The priest unfolded the letter, and when his eyes fell on the contents, his body trembled.
The Pope raised his eyebrows, with some doubt in his eyes.
The priest's voice was hoarse, as if every word weighed a thousand pounds. "The Three Holy Thrones... have fallen."
The air in the hall froze instantly.
"The Yeko Kingdom's royal family announces!" the priest's Adam's apple rolled. "The Vatican has assassinated the kingdom's hero and attempted to destabilize the region. Effective immediately, all churches in the kingdom will be sealed off and all priests will be expelled..."
After the words fell, there was dead silence.
The Pope's knuckles were clenched white, and hot breath leaked out of his body uncontrollably, burning black marks on his robes.
His expression changed from shock to gloom, and finally to murderous intent.
Claudio's pupils contracted as he stared at the Pope, observing his expression to see if he was performing for him again.
When I saw the almost tangible anger in the Pope's eyes, I believed that this was true.
But how is this possible?
Wu Heng killed three heroes alone while being ambushed?
How much has he grown?
Bang~!
The Pope rose suddenly, and the chair exploded into pieces under his might.
This information made him no longer have time to care about his manners, and he strode away without saying a word.
Claudio sat there for a while before coming to his senses. "It seems that times are really changing..."
He muttered something and stood up to leave.
I don’t know if our headquarters has received the message, so I need to pass the message back as soon as possible.
……
In the morning, at the Island Master's Mansion.
Wu Heng walked out from the center of the furnace, his naked upper body covered with evil and bone-forging patterns, with bursts of hot air still rising from it.
Walking into the living room, Viola was wearing a tight-fitting bra and beach pants, and her exposed skin was also covered with the evil bone-forging lines.
Today is the second stage of her training.
"It's your turn." Wu Heng wiped the dust off his body and continued, "The key to the second stage is to let the evil fire temper the bone marrow first. According to the method taught by the Queen Mother, we are heroes and cannot die. Be bold."
Viola took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling violently, “Yes, sir.”
Outside the door, the skeleton servants were silently replacing the materials for the training array, and Viola also walked into the center of the furnace and sat cross-legged.
The next second, flames shot up into the sky, and Viola began to practice.
……
Not long after, Wu Heng came down from upstairs after washing up.
Sitting down in the living room, Catwoman Robert made her a cup of tea.
Wu Heng asked, "Luo Bei, have you ever tried the dwarven roasted tea?"
"Yes! You can order it in the tavern, but it's not tasty at all. It tastes burnt and sticky to the throat." Robert answered immediately, then asked, "Master, do you like it?"
"I don't think it tastes good either." Wu Heng picked up the honey tea that was handed to him and took a sip.
"That's what I said, but I heard that dwarves like to drink this." Robert sat down and continued.
"Maybe I've been drinking it since I was a kid."
"They are talking so loudly, are they drinking something like that?" Robe analyzed.
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "No way!"
As they were talking, the door to the living room opened and Minnie and Niangniang walked in one after another.
"Master!" Minnie came over and greeted him, then said, "This morning, my mother and I went to the prop store and the Snake Emblem Consortium and picked out these two props."
As he spoke, he took out two items from his space ring as if presenting treasures.
One of them was a silver mirror with a frame engraved with intricate star track patterns, and the second was a dark grey triangular Rubik's Cube.
Wu Heng looked over there, and information about the two items appeared.
【Shadow Mirror (Prop)】
(Description: Records the appearance of the first-time user and creates an illusionary avatar, which can be used in stage performances to provide a shocking visual experience for the audience.)
A mirror that can create a double.
In other words, with this item, you can appear in some places that you cannot reach on your own behalf.
His eyes continued to look at the second item.
【Light and Shadow Cube (Props)】
(Description: The surface of the Rubik's Cube can project light and shadows of various shapes and colors, and different scenes can be created by rotating the Rubik's Cube.)
Props for creating various light and shadows?
Wu Heng watched as the Empress sitting across from him also spoke, "That mirror is etched with 'Mirror Image Technique'. It can be crafted and enhanced. The effect won't be as good as the substitute you cast, but it's enough to fool the people 'over there'."
Wu Heng nodded. The survivors in the zombie world had no levels, so the effect of the Mirror Image Technique might not be that high, but it was enough.
The Queen continued, "That's right! This kind of mirror technique cannot make any sound or take any action on its own."
This is not difficult. Modern people cannot see through the mirror technique, and public speeches will also be transmitted through loudspeakers.
Just record it in advance.
Then, the empress continued to introduce the second item, "The Light and Shadow Cube, etched with light and shadow arrays, can be combined into different patterns and scenes, such as the starry sky, the underwater world, and ancient cities."
Wu Heng picked up the Rubik's Cube and took a look at it. The triangular structure of the Rubik's Cube could be adjusted.
Each adjustment represents a different combination of light, shadow and effects, and the design is quite user-friendly.
"Are these just these two?" Wu Heng asked.
"Only these two effects are useful to you, and they are both expensive props." The Empress's puppet sat sideways on the single sofa very elegantly.
"Princess Tianhu needs to spend money to go out?" Wu Heng said jokingly.
Minnie snickered, and the Queen said directly: "Spend your money, it doesn't matter."
"How much did you buy for these two items in total?" Wu Heng continued to ask.
Minnie replied, "We have one of each for now, but Miss Letilie said that if we need more, we can transfer them from around the Emerald Sea."
From the Snake Emblem Group!
This is a good thing. The items ordered by the Snake Emblem Group are kept relatively confidential. If it were an ordinary prop store, the news would probably spread.
Although it's not a big deal, it's better to keep a low profile.
"Then order fifty pieces of each item first," Wu Heng said.
"Okay, I'll call her now." Minnie walked aside, picked up the landline and dialed the number.
Wu Heng did not give Lei Dili a mobile phone, but he still installed a connected phone so that she could make calls within the local area.
If anything happens, it can be more convenient.
Minnie picked up the phone and had a brief conversation, then hung up and looked back. "Master, Miss Letili has been notified. She said she will handle the matter as soon as possible."
"Yeah!" Wu Heng nodded.
After chatting with Minnie and the others downstairs for a while, he stood up and said, "My Lady, we're going out soon, let's go upstairs first!"
"Yes!" The Queen stood up and walked upstairs with them.
Returning to the study, Wu Heng asked Beni to call Xiaoxiao back from outside, then opened the door and walked straight in.
……
Walking out of the gate, it is still the prison monitoring room.
Wu Heng released the ghost, sat down on a chair beside him, took out his cell phone and dialed Qi Hancai's number.
The phone rang twice before being connected, and Qi Hancai's voice came out, "Hello?"
Wu Heng asked, "How's the situation over there?"
Qi Hancai replied, "After you left, some officials rebelled, but it was easily suppressed. Now the entire Noah City is under our control."
After occupying a base, Qi Hancai has become fully familiar with all the procedures.
It's a matter of practice makes perfect.
Wu Heng continued to ask, "What about the Dawn Alliance?"
"Are you asking about the proposal for Noah's City?" Qi Hancai's voice was tinged with laughter as she continued, "The Dawn Conference was held the day you left. Zhu Tonghui was in attendance. At that time, the vast majority of bases agreed to the legality of the Covenant Church's missionary work.
Then the representative from Noah's City suddenly changed his mind and said he wanted to disband the church. I heard that at that time, all the major bases looked at the representative from Noah's City as if he were a traitor.
After a brief pause, he continued, "All the priests of the Covenant Church have been assigned to the Lingqi Church. They will be assigned as our priests."
"Well done." Wu Heng praised, then asked, "Did it cause any impact?"
Qi Hancai replied, "I haven't seen any impact so far. The relevant information hasn't appeared on the forums, nor has it been made public. However, the top leaders of the major bases must have learned some information. A representative called me and asked about it."
"If they ask you, just say that we are willing to live in peace." Wu Heng said.
"Ah."
Wu Heng thought for a moment and then said, "That's it for now. Be careful and let me know if anything happens... Um, call Li Yahong."
Qi Hancai smiled and said, "The skeletons you arranged for me are enough to protect me, don't worry."
"Okay, let's do this first."
After the two finished talking and hung up the phone, Wu Heng continued to dial Li Yahong's number.
After the call was connected, I asked directly, "How are things going recently?"
"It went quite smoothly. I heard that Qi Hancai has taken control of Noah's City." Li Yahong replied.
"We just finished talking on the phone." Wu Heng leaned back. "Now the major bases will basically not hinder the development of Lingqi Sect. Inform Zhao Yanqiu that within a month, I want priests to preach in every base."
"I'll pass the message to Sister Zhao later." Li Yahong's voice also became serious.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and continued, "I have two props here. Come and get them when you have time. I'll leave them at the prison gate. You can give them to Zhao Yanqiu and have her use them for preaching. I'll make a video showing you how to use them."
"Props! I know how to use them." Li Yahong said.
On her hand, she was wearing the Flame Ring given to her by Wu Heng, which could release a fireball.
Its power is actually average, and its only function is to hold people with special abilities.
"Then you can teach Zhao Yanqiu when the time comes."
"it is good!"
After the two finished chatting, they hung up the phone.
As soon as the phone was hung up, Xiao Xiao flew in through the wall and said urgently, "Uncle! Quick, there are two level 20 zombies in the prison."
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows. It had been a while since any zombie here reached level 20.
After standing up, he looked at the other three ghosts not far away and said, "We are going to see the zombies. Do you want to go?"
The other three ghosts glanced over here and then turned their gaze back to their phones.
"Let's go, let's go." Wu Heng asked as they walked, "Have you thought of a name?"
Xiao Xiao floated beside him, "Is there any need to think about this? Aren't the job titles fixed? Uncle, did you mix them up again?"
"Oh, that's right. There's no need to get up now." Wu Heng laughed and quickened his pace.
Follow Xiaoxiao to the outside of the level 20 zombie cell.
The heavy prison door opened.
Roar~!
A deafening roar was heard, and a dark shadow approached, rushing towards him, with iron chains rattling.
Whoosh~!
A thin line of water suddenly crossed the darkness and accurately passed over the zombie's neck.
Gululu~!
The head rolled off, and the zombie's huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and turbid blood gushed out.
The person imprisoned in this cell is the zombie of the Vatican priest who was captured earlier.
Due to occupational reasons, he fell from level 19 to level 17, and now he has been trained to level 20.
"Put its head back." Wu Heng ordered.
The skeleton soldier behind him walked forward silently, kicked the head back to the neck, and then straightened it.
[Bone Training Technique] is released, the flesh and blood quickly peel off, and the bones are reorganized.
A tall skeleton slowly stood up, with insect-like shell-like wings extending from its back.
[Spirit Warrior (Level 20)]
"Uncle, what is its occupation?" Xiaoxiao floated closer.
"Spirit Skeleton Warrior..." Wu Heng said.
Logically, the names of skeletons should be related to their occupations in life. For example, the Pope was classified as a "Mage" after his death, but after the priest zombie was transformed into a skeleton, it was named "Warrior".
I don't know what it was named after.
Xiaoxiao blinked and said with a grin, "Then let's call it 'Pot Lid No. 4'!"
Wu Heng smiled, "Easy to remember! Very good."
Xiaoxiao floated in front of him mischievously, shook her head and sighed in a pretentious manner, "Uncle, are you getting too old? You can't even use a smartphone anymore."
Wu Heng was speechless. "Even though I'm old, I'm still smarter than you."
"I'm smart."
"What is 25 times 42?"
Xiao Xiao was stunned, "Uncle, we haven't seen my mother for a while."
Wu Heng glanced at her and continued walking to the door of the second cell.
The second zombie was also dealt with quickly and efficiently. After the transformation, it was still a [Spirit Skeleton Warrior] and was named "Pot Lid No. 5" by Xiaoxiao.
After dealing with the two level 20 zombies, Wu Heng returned to the monitoring room with the newly subdued skeleton and sat in front of the screen to browse the forum for a while.
As the sky gradually darkened, he stretched and called to the ghosts, "Let's go back to Treasure Island."
……
Walked out of the gate and returned to the study in Treasure Island.
The ghosts went to do their own things, and Wu Heng also went to the restaurant to eat.
After dinner, he glanced at Xiaoxiao, who was playing shuttlecock with the maids in the courtyard, took out his phone, and sent a message to Lilith, "Are you free tonight? Let's go to the casino together?"
Just as the message was sent, the phone vibrated slightly, "You're just going to walk out like this?"
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows. It looked like there was going to be some drama today. "I'll pretend. Wanna go? Xiao Xiao is playing shuttlecock today. I don't think she'll come to play with you."
There was silence for a few seconds, and finally a crisp reply came, "Okay! Come to my door."
In front of Lilith's mansion.
Wu Heng was wearing a faceless mask, which showed the image of a young man with brown hair. He stood at the corner and waited for a while.
A blonde girl in a blue dress opened the door and walked out of the mansion.
The two looked at each other.
Wu Heng said doubtfully, "Lilith?"
Lilith nodded. "Your disguise... is quite convincing."
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow and reached out to straighten her hat. "Same here. You look like a noble lady sneaking out to play."
Lilith snorted softly, but didn't refute. The disguise seemed to make her relax a little. She reached out and grabbed his wrist, "Let's go. It's almost dawn if we dawdle any longer."
The two of them blended into the crowd, their fingers quietly intertwined.
