The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 350: Chapter 291, The Neighbors Next Door

The next day, Wu Heng woke up from his dreams.

To his left, Mini was still fast asleep.

He pulled back the thin blanket covering him, and ‘Andre Willow,’ curled up in the blanket, now lifted her head and looked up.

She uttered a small sound and blinked her eyes.

Wu Heng reached out to touch her smooth cheek and pulled the blanket back over her.

He continued to enjoy the morning wake-up service provided by the girl.

After ‘Andre Willow’ had finished, Mini also woke up from her deep sleep, got up groggily, and yawned.

Then she frowned and stared at the fox woman beside her with confusion, “Are you catching a cold? Why is your face so red?”

“Not at all!” Andre Willow touched her own face.

“Oh, then maybe you caught a chill last night,” Mini said as she dressed herself and then helped Wu Heng get dressed.

After washing up, they went downstairs together.

…

After breakfast.

Andre Willow headed to the association, while Wu Heng found a secluded place, put on the “Conductor’s Hat,” and the Phantom Train appeared.

After writing ‘Netalee City’ on the travel ledger, he directly entered the train car.

Last time, in Netalee City, he had ordered a batch of Strong crossbows and Leather armor.

It was also the time the other party had promised.

Wu Heng first went to the port to rent a temporary warehouse.

The shortest rental period was three days.

He didn’t need it for three days—it was just a temporary place for opening the boundary door.

After renting the warehouse, he went directly to the weapon shop on Commercial Street.

Upon entering the shop, an attendant immediately came to greet him, “Customer, would you like to take a look at something? Longswords, shields, we also have Strong crossbows for overseas sales.”

Wu Heng took out the order list and handed it over, “I bought some goods here last time, can you see if they’re ready?”

The attendant took it, glanced at the order, and said, “Customer, please wait a moment.”

Wu Heng sat down on the side while two skeleton attendants stood by.

Soon, the weapons shop owner Wu Heng met last time hurried over, scrutinized him carefully, then pocketed the order and said, “Customer, the weapons you ordered are ready. I will take you to inspect the goods.”

“Alright!”

Wu Heng followed him into the warehouse at the back.

As the door opened, a scent of oil greeted them.

“All the weapons here are yours, a total of 500 Strong crossbows that have been inspected,” the owner pointed to the left.

Wu Heng nodded and casually picked up two to check.

The quality was not bad, no different from the ones displayed in the shop.

Wu Heng said directly, “Deliver the items to warehouse number 32 at the port. Write me another order, same quantity—500 Strong crossbows.”

“Customer, I was just about to discuss this matter with you, the previous orders are fine, but if you continue to order weapons, there will be some changes in the price,” said the owner.

Wu Heng narrowed his eyes and examined the owner carefully.

Just now, when the owner was sizing him up, he thought it was to verify his identity, but it turns out he was hesitating whether to raise the price.

The previous order, that was with a deposit made and the price negotiated.

Even if the owner brought it up, Wu Heng wasn’t about to pay him any more money.

“How much did it go up by?”

“The Strong crossbow is now 35 silver coins each!”

The original order price was 28 silver coins—quite a significant increase.

“Then we’ll talk about it later. For now, just send these to the warehouse, and once they’re delivered, I’ll pay you the final payment,” Wu Heng said directly.

“Understood!”

Wu Heng left the shop while the owner summoned his workers to begin moving the weapons from the warehouse.

They made the delivery to the designated warehouse.

…

After leaving the weapon shop, he continued on to the armor shop across the street.

Entering the shop, he saw the plump and shapely proprietress wiping down the counter.

There were unusually few customers inside the armor shop.

“Customer, have you come to pick up your goods?” The proprietress stepped out from behind the counter and greeted him with a smile.

“Yes, are my goods ready?”

“They’re ready! I have been waiting for you to come have a look!”

The proprietress led him to the warehouse, swung open the big door, and inside were all the prepared goods.

Wu Heng inspected two pieces just the same, and he found no issues.

“I’m very satisfied with the quality.”

“I’m glad you’re satisfied,” the proprietress said with a smile.

“Have the prices of leather armor increased here?” Wu Heng asked.

“They have, by about 20% for every type,” the proprietress said directly.

Wu Heng looked around and continued to ask, “Can you tell me the reason?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After a moment’s hesitation, the proprietress still lowered her voice and said, “The Yeko Kingdom is buying up a large amount of weapons and armor, causing the prices in the entire market to rise.”

The Yeko Kingdom is buying?

The army?

“Is there going to be a war?”

“You can’t just say things like that; it could bring trouble,” the proprietress said, looking around.

From Gold and Silver Island, there were already some intelligence reports.

It seemed that the old king of the Yeko Kingdom wouldn’t live much longer, and the princes might wage a battle for the throne.

Now, the situation seemed even more severe.

It was starting to affect markets everywhere.

“When will the market recover?” Wu Heng continued to ask.

“I’m just a woman, how would I know such things,” the proprietress hesitated, then continued, “If you still want to place orders, you can leave me an address, and I’ll write to inform you when the time comes.”

Wu Heng felt that this proprietress was quite chatty.

He said directly, “Alright, just send the letter to the association when the time comes. The address is Gold and Silver Island Association, Andre Willow.”

The proprietress’s eyes widened, “You’re with the association?”

“Mhm, when you write, also update me on the latest situation,” he said.

“Uh, okay, but you must keep it secret as well, otherwise, I could lose my head,” she said.

After a brief chat, Wu Heng paid the final installment for the leather armor.

The proprietress summoned her workers to move the leather armor to the rented warehouse.

Wu Heng followed the workers there as well.

The staff from the weapon store were already waiting at the door.

After paying the final installment to the weapon store’s staff, he ordered Skull Crusher and Blood Axe to close all the doors.

This warehouse had two separate areas inside.

On the outside, there was a room for the guards to stay, equipped with wooden tables and chairs.

The second layer inside was the actual warehouse.

Wu Heng opened the inner doors and directed the skeletons to move all the goods inside to Zombie World.

They were stacked in the corridors on both sides of the hotel.

Once all the goods were transported,

he came out of the warehouse once again.

After leaving the city, he found a deserted place, took out the Phantom Train, and returned to Gold and Silver Island.

…

He came back to his residence.

It was getting late.

The Phantom Train could significantly shorten the journey, but a round trip to Netalee City still took all day.

Upon entering his residence, he saw Mini and Andre Willow chatting on the sofa.

As Wu Heng entered, Mini immediately sprang up from the sofa and ran over, saying, “Master, someone has moved in next door and has invited us over for dinner tonight. Shall we go?”

“Someone has moved in?”

The place next door had been under renovation for several days, taking much longer than Wu Heng’s place had.

Finally, someone had moved in.

“Yes, it’s a really pretty elf sister. Are we going?” Mini continued to ask.

“They’re just being polite, we don’t even know them. Who invites strangers into their home for dinner?” Wu Heng walked in and sat down on the sofa.

“No, she said she knows you!” Mini persisted.

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow and looked at Andre Willow beside him.

The latter shook her head, “It’s as Mini said, I haven’t seen what the person next door looks like yet.”

Wu Heng asked, “Did she mention her name?”

“No!”

“What does she look like?”

“An elf sister, very beautiful, with grey-blue hair, about this long,” Mini gestured.

Wu Heng narrowed his eyes.

Shanaela?

The president of the Starflower Merchant Group.
