SlytherâŠ
Wu Heng was making a conscious effort to recall this name.
It seemed as though he had heard it somewhere.
His mind quickly ran over his memories. The opportunities where he could come in contact with the title of âMrs.â in Black Stone Town were few.
He soon remembers from where he had heard this name.
The term âMrs. Slytherâ, was mentioned by Cavina on the train back after completing the Mining Village mission.
Sheâs the Vice-executive of Black Stone Town Professional Association, and the female owner of Money Cat.
She is one of the truly wealthy and influential people in Black Stone Town.
Her position at the Association was also special, she was not only the Vice- executive but also a âSecret Speakerâ.
An expert at and enthusiast for gathering all kinds of information.
Out of curiosity, Wu Heng glanced at her, only to find her curiously examining him as well.
âWu Heng, this is âSlytherâ, the Vice-executive of the Association.â Executive Yazde introduced. Then to the enchanting woman, she continued, âThis is Wu Heng, heâs just joined the fourth squad not too long ago.â
âOh? So youâre that little necromancer who investigated the Mining Village?â Slytherâs eyes scanned Wu Heng, as though trying to see through something.
In her eyes, there was undisguised interest.
âSlyther, stop teasing him,â the executive reminded her from the side.
Slyther withdrew her gaze, but still smiled and asked, âHow did you manage to kill those mercenaries from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?â
âIt was simply luck, the credit mainly belongs to the captain and the investigation team.â
Slyther continued observing him while maintaining her smile, âHow did you come up with the idea of becoming a Necromancer?â
So she was collecting information about him?
But these questions were ones others had asked in the usual course; so, he simply answered in the same manner as he normally would.
âIt was the only job related to a Mage that I could find, so I chose it.â
âAnd your skeleton? How many do you have?â
âOnly one.â
âNot bad.â Slyther commented, lazily half-leaning on the sofa.
The few people present could tell.
This Vice-executive was showing a strong interest in Wu Heng. On their first meeting, she had already asked him several questions in a row.
Seeing Slytherâs silence, the executive resumed speaking, âAlright, letâs discuss official matters. There will be a unified action by the Association tonightâŠ.â Damn it!
There was another mission after all.
Wu Heng was a bit troubled.
Yazde continued, âYour team has fewer members, so you donât have to participate in tonightâs action. Your duty is to guard the Association. Autruck will know the specifics and he will assign the missions to you.â
Phew!
Wu Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
He had thought he was going to be sent out again to investigate some strange things.
Working the night shift wasnât too taxing â he just had to persevere through the night.
âOkay, thatâs settled. You can go back and prepare,â said Yazde.
The three nodded and left the study together.
The sky was darker now.
In the slightly dim large hall, the professional squads were gathering.
Groups were forming based on squad alignments. Each person was armoured and had swords ready, preparing for battle.
Before long, Executive Yazde walked out from the rear.
He pronounced, âThe target for this mission is âBawudongâ, an Elder from the âChurch of Divine Punishmentâ. Heâs a level 12 professional, and has several church elites under him. Our operation is to coordinate with the guards of Black Stone Town, but this operation is still dangerous. Everyone needs to be cautious, and safety is paramount.â
Hearing this, the faces of every squad turned a little solemn.
A level 12 professional is considered a rare powerhouse.
It was surprising to find such a person in a small place like Black Stone Town. Simultaneously, everyone realised why they had been searching for fugitives throughout the city a while ago: they had been searching for the people from the Church of Divine Punishment, but nothing had been revealed until the discovery of concrete clues, only then it was announced.
A level 12 powerhouse is indeed an unstable factor.
After a few more instructions from the executive,
someone strode in from outside and said, âWe can set off now.â
âThe fourth squad will stay back at the Association, the rest of the squads, move out.â The executive waved his hand, leading the professional squads out of the Association.
They joined up with the guards on their way and hurried towards the North City Gate.
After the squads left, the hall became quiet again.
Wu Heng asked Basen to close the main door.
He casually asked, âCaptain, this Elder of the Church of Divine Punishment is pretty powerful, isnât he? Sending out so many people.â
Autruck pondered for a while before speaking, âI donât know much about the Church of Divine Punishment either. All I know is that they are a church active within the eastern region of the kingdom, established by a group of fanatics. They often conduct sacrifice rituals, and have a notorious reputation.â There are many professions in this world that are associated with gods.
For instance, priests, or warlocks who also have a rather infamous reputation. The direction of the profession depends on obtaining or exchanging power from the gods they believe in.
Wu Heng used to be an atheist himself, but now he could travel between two worlds with a key. So it wouldnât be strange if one day a deity truly appeared before his eyes.
Of course, itâs better not to provoke them.
âSo why did they come to Black Stone Town?â Wu Heng asked next.
âThey might have some objective, or they might just be passing by and decided to stay, Iâm not sure about the specifics. However, the people from the Church of Divine Punishment are on the wanted list all year round,â Autruck replied softly.
âOh!â Wu Heng responded with disinterest in this topic, shifting the conversation, âCaptain, Iâve been practicing swordsmanship recently. Could you give me some pointers, if possible?â
âSure, show me what youâve been practicing,â said Autruck.
Wu Heng immediately took out his iron sword and started practicing the moves he learned from his training with Jianyi.
âRaise your arms higher, your muscles are too tense,â Autruck walked over and instructed.
Cavina stood aside watching the two men practice their swordsmanship while brewing three cups of fruit tea.
In a house in a residential area,
A Black Feathered Crow flew through the window, landing with precision on the shoulder of a man in the pitch-dark room. Fiind updđted đovels on nđ/v/elbin(.)co/m
The man ran his bony palm over the crow and said, âBlack Stone Townâs guard team and professional squads have left from the North City Gate. Their destination should be the place weâve prepared. There are only four people left in the central Association.â
The curtain was pulled back, moonlight filled the room, and in the dim moonlight, one could see three men sitting around a round table.
One man was tall and burly, his head shaved and with bare arms. Another one was in leather armor with an iron sword at his waist. The last man was cloaked in a black robe, accompanied by the Black Feathered Crow that had just flown in.
âHuh, a bunch of idiots.â the man in leather armor sneered.
The man with the crow didnât respond, his gaze shifting towards the tall, burly man as he continued, â âElder Bawudongâ, considering a place like Black Stone Town, I donât think there should be too many military forces left in the city.â
The man tilted his head, âSince the Professional Association insists on catching us, letâs give them a big surprise.â
âThen letâs get started.â
The three men got up and headed out.
