The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 488 - 403, Come eat a late-night snack (One update today.)
Chapter 488: Chapter 403, Come eat a late-night snack (One update today.)
As the pirates were escorted away, the harbor burst into cheers once again.
Occam, dressed plainly with a calm gaze and a slight smile, stood as soldiers in gleaming armor followed with steady steps.
They exuded the aura of seasoned, elite troops.
Wu Heng stood among the crowd, watching everything unfold before him.
A pirate who had just been pardoned turned around, leading a fleet to hunt other pirates.
This kid seems to have forgotten his roots.
...
He gazed from a distance, feeling it had little to do with him.
He called a carriage and returned to his residence.
…
He pushed open the courtyard gate.
Mini was training in the yard.

Seeing Wu Heng return, she ran up and threw herself at him, clinging cutely.
Wu Heng, holding her, walked towards the interior, saying, “What is that stone house in the yard being used for now?”
Mini turned and looked at the stone room on one side of the yard, replying, “It’s used for storing various tools for tidying up the yard, why do you ask?”
“Have the skeletons clean it out. I’ll arrange a different use for it.”
“Oh, okay!” Mini hopped down and called a few skeletons to move all the tools out.
The stone room was large, with floors of ordinary bluestone and walls of the original stone brick.
Once it was cleared out,
Wu Heng called over the skeleton bomber from the yard and said, “From now on, this will be your laboratory, where you will create various alchemical grenades. If you need any materials, you can write them down for me, or you can give them to her,” pointing at Mini on the side.
The skeleton bomber didn’t respond but walked directly into the stone room.
It began to arrange the room’s setup on its own.
This skeleton bomber was a level 15 Alchemical Bomb Warlock.
It could create alchemical bombs with various effects.
Now, transformed into a skeleton, Wu Heng didn’t plan to let it participate in any battles.
It would stay here to craft different types of grenades.
As for these alchemical bombs, well,
their effects were quite effective, the only downside being that they needed a fuse to be lit, which took a long time to burn.
If the enemy was prepared, they might even be able to throw it back before the fuse burned down.
In the future, he could consider combining this with the modern grenade trigger mechanism,
to create a new type of alchemical grenade.
Mini peeked from behind and asked, “Is it also an alchemist?”
“Yes, an alchemical bomber.”
Mini’s eyes widened slightly, with a hint of skepticism, “But… is it safe? We are renting this house.”
Mini had seen the alchemical bombs used by pirates on their way to Gold and Silver Island.
The wind and fire were quite frightening.
Wu Heng rubbed her little head, “No worries, they don’t have that much power.”
“Oh, that’s good then.”
After placing a workbench and a few shelves in the laboratory, they returned directly to their room.
Tomorrow, Mini would buy items based on the materials list, and the skeleton bomber would proceed with bomb-making.
…
Dusk.
Andre Willow came back from outside.
The three sat at the dining table, eating dinner.
Chewing her food gently, Andre Willow began, “Master, you weren’t here this afternoon, but the Island Master of Gold and Silver Island went to the guild, and many people were watching.”
Wu Heng looked up, curious, “What did he go to the guild for?”
“He met with the steward, but what for, I’m not sure,” Andre Willow said, her tone laced with curiosity, “They say he was a pirate, but he seems quite different from them, even coming with guards that looked more official than the Iron Guard Knights of Lundham City.”
At the harbor, Wu Heng had felt the same way.
It wasn’t that having guards was odd.
Rather, it was the feeling that the other person was trying to prove he was not a pirate.
“Perhaps he wants to shed the image others have of his pirate origins,” Wu Heng speculated.
“Yes, that must be it,” Andre Willow agreed.
Mini sat on the side, listening to their conversation.
When it was over, she asked, “Wei’er sister, is this island master male or female?”
“A man, of course. He looks to be over 40 years old.”
“Oh okay!”
After dinner,
as the two women planned to go out to the yard for training,
Wu Heng called them to the living room.
He took out two elixir bottles and placed them on the table, saying, “The elixirs I gave you before won’t have any significant effects if you continue to use them. Here are higher-level elixirs, one for each of you.”
Hearing about the new elixirs,
both women’s eyes lit up a notch.
Mini was thrilled at receiving something good, and Andre Willow was surprised but happy.
Andre Willow worked as an assistant at the guild.
Although she had never been directly involved in combat,
sometimes she’d watch others train and spar in the training rooms.
With her enhanced perception, she could definitely keep up with the captains, catching their moves and reactions,
and she could even find a way to escape a fight with two or three captains.
This boost was largely thanks to the elixirs.
Now that there was an even higher level, it would surely further improve their strength.
“Thank you, Master,” Mini gleefully took hers.
Andre Willow, after glancing at Mini, took hers as well, “Thank you, Master.”
Wu Heng nodded and added, “You’ll feel a stinging sensation when you take it, but that’s normal. Don’t worry too much; just grit your teeth and it will pass. Take it now, and I’ll look after you both.”
The two women looked at each other before opening their elixirs and drinking them down.
The effects that occurred to Wu Heng previously now also manifested in them.
Their skin reddened and veins bulged.
Pained groans escaped their lips.
After enduring the agony for a while,
Andre Willow’s condition improved. She straightened up and felt the significant boost in her body with a touch of amazement.
