Chapter 1448: Chapter 1020: Why Are They So Annoying?
"Alright!" Lilith agreed.
"Uncle, I’m heading out." Xiao Xiao waved her hand.
Wu Heng shouted, "Go with Bella, and come back early in the evening."
"Okay!" Xiao Xiao responded, then shouted upstairs, "Sister Beini, let’s go to the church and have some fun!"
Footsteps sounded, and Bella came down from upstairs.
Xiao Xiao grabbed her hand, holding a phone in the other hand, and said towards this side, "We’re heading out~!"
After saying that, she left with Bella.
...
Xiao Xiao’s figure disappeared, skipping away.
Wu Heng still sat on the sofa, picking up the teacup, sipping lightly.
He began to ponder over the matters Lilith had mentioned.
The place with the greatest concentration of high-level professionals is the association itself.
And the newly added member rules almost cut off Wu Heng’s possibility of directly recruiting people from the association.
Although he didn’t think this rule could affect the development of Gold and Silver Island, he could still sense the association’s attitude towards it.
At least, it’s cautious, not wanting the island to develop too quickly.
"Seems I still need to start with the Wood Elves or Yeko Kingdom..."
The high-level professionals of the Yeko Kingdom were mostly killed by him. It’s difficult to directly cultivate heroes, but it can serve as a base for talent development.
Gradually increasing the number of high-level professionals.
In the short term, it still depends on the attitude of the Wood Elf Elder Council.
If they agree to sign the slavery contract, then heroes can be cultivated normally.
"Let’s wait for news from Shanera first!"
Wu Heng picked up the teacup again and took a sip, "And the collection of faith."
With a thought, the panel opened.
He looked at the faith section.
[Faith: 6954/50000.]
In the past few days, the growth rate of faith has noticeably accelerated, adding a few hundred points each day.
At this rate, breaking through ten thousand points is within reach, and advancing to the Hero Stage is just a matter of time.
"But the Holy Court has been... too quiet recently."
Besides the Wood Elf Elder Council being threatened, neither Yeko Kingdom nor Lundham City faced any targeting from the Holy Court.
Has the Holy Court changed its nature?
Impossible, the Holy Court values faith the most. How could it allow such large territories to exclude churches!
"The calm before the storm?"
Wu Heng muttered.
"Seems like I’ll have to find a way to speed up the collection of faith."
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the gradually darkening sky.
"Can the Divine Spirits really intervene in this world or not!"
"Why does no one seem to know!"
...
The last glimmer of twilight outside was swallowed by the night, and the stars climbed into the sky.
Wu Heng came out of the study and returned to the bedroom.
The voluptuous and beautiful Wood Elf Shanera was lying on the bed, her long hair spread over the pillow.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked up, "You’re back?"
"Mm!" Wu Heng got on the bed on the other side, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and pulled her into his arms, "Any news from the Elder Council?"
Shanera was pulled into his arms and said, "No news yet, are you in a hurry?"
"The association introduced new member rules; members above Steward level are not allowed to sign any form of dependency contract." Wu Heng said softly.
Since it’s a published rule, it will soon spread among all races.
Shanera was stunned for a moment, quickly reacting, "Because of Gold and Silver Island?"
"Mm! They are afraid the high-level professionals of the association will become heroes through Gold and Silver Island." Wu Heng smiled bitterly.
Shanera hesitated for a moment and said, "Weren’t you... didn’t you give a lot of gifts...?"
"Why bring that up, and obviously, just giving gifts won’t work either." Wu Heng’s tone carried some helplessness.
Shanera leaned into his arms, listening to his heartbeat, and comforted, "It’s okay! Don’t worry, sis will handle it for you, I’ll think of a way to get the Wood Elves to support you."
Wu Heng was taken aback. He only asked casually, but hearing her say that warmed his heart, "Don’t put too much pressure on yourself either, there will still be others willing to join Gold and Silver Island, I refuse to believe everyone can resist the lure of becoming a hero."
Shanera lightly patted his chest, "Come on! Having the Wood Elves join is a win-win situation, why let others benefit, let me handle the Wood Elves for you."
"Alright!" Wu Heng smiled, pulling her even tighter into his embrace, "I also hope to get closer to the Wood Elves."
Shanera huffed softly, "You’re talking, why are you lifting my skirt?"
"You’re working so hard for Gold and Silver Island, I must put in some effort too."
Shanera rolled her eyes at him helplessly, but still stretched out her arms to embrace the man pressing down on her.
...
In the morning, the island’s morning fog had not yet dispersed.
A long line had already formed on the bluestone road outside the Island Lord’s Mansion.
The elegantly dressed visitors stood silently, each holding a different styled gift box.
The familiar ones were whispering among themselves, while unfamiliar faces smiled and nodded, then waited quietly.
Everyone tried to remain quiet, occasionally adjusting their cuffs or bow ties, afraid of losing face in such an important occasion.
Creak~!
The mansion’s door slowly opened, a Bunny Girl dressed in luxurious attire stood at the door with a Skeleton behind her.
The people in the front row immediately bowed, "Miss Steward, the Chamber of Commerce sent gifts for Miss Viola."
Mini smiled and said, "Sister Viola is not available to come out, please register your name and the name of your forces, Sister Viola will review them later."
"Alright, alright!" The person immediately nodded, opening their gift box to reveal a dazzling pearl.
Once the first was done, the second stepped forward to register.
Each name reported elicited a low gasp from the crowd.
