The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Lilith saw that he had already made up his mind, so she no longer tried to dissuade him. After a moment of silence, she said, "How about... I accompany you?"

Wu Heng reached out to wrap her shoulder, "The dwarves are more nervous than I am right now. If something bad happens at Deep Furnace Castle, they would be the first to suffer."

Pausing slightly, he spoke with a bit more seriousness, "Moreover, I need you to stay at Gold and Silver Island to hold the fort. Viola just got promoted to Hero, she has enough deterrence but lacks actual battle experience."

Lilith pursed her lips and finally nodded, "Since you've decided, set off as soon as possible. Don't give the others time to react."

"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow morning," Wu Heng said.

Suddenly, Lilith remembered something and continued, "If you have enough merit, you can exchange for a few special items at the association to bring with you, to avoid a situation where you're short on them later."

Wu Heng shook his head, "No need, using merit to exchange for melting materials is too extravagant."

He had exchanged his Level 2 merits for props for Viola.

Indeed, he had no merit recorded on him.

Lilith glanced at him and suddenly took out a few special items from her Space Ring, a dagger with cracks, a gemstone ring, and a dark chain.

"Take these." Lilith's tone was flat, as if she had given some pocket money, "Either the side effects are too big, or they conflict with my attributes. Keeping them just occupies space."

Wu Heng was stunned.

Special items aren't just about attributes; many people will collect them as collector's items, so there's no such thing as worthless special items.

Scanning the attributes of the special items Lilith offered, he instinctively declined, "Not necessary, I have enough."

Lilith slightly leaned in, her fingertip lightly touched his chest, "You're strong, I'm happy too."

Wu Heng laughed, suddenly hugged Lilith's legs and exaggeratedly rubbed against them, "Rich lady, you're so good."

Saying so, he kissed the smooth calf.

"How disgusting!" Lilith pushed him away and tidied her dress, "Go prepare; dwarves have fiery tempers, you are a hero now, give way to them a bit."

Wu Heng listened to her nagging advice for a while and then gathered up the special items from the table.

This was his first time seeing the usually composed Lilith nag like a worried mother.

Once she ran out of words, Wu Heng replied softly, "Got it."

Lilith lightly coughed, "Tonight... you coming over?"

Wu Heng thought for a moment, "Got to go back and prepare, when I return, you can stay at the Island Lord's Mansion."

Lilith replied grumpily, "The association is still keeping an eye on me; moving into your place suddenly! Do you think our relationship is being exposed too slowly?"

"Then I'll come over next time," Wu Heng smiled and said.

"Who cares!" Lilith got up and left, heading downstairs.

Wu Heng followed along downstairs.

While descending, Xiao Xiao was still playing games; she immediately asked upon seeing them, "Sister, are you done talking?"

"All done," Lilith smiled.

"Come play the game, this one is difficult." Xiao Xiao called out.

Lilith sat beside, picked up the controller and started playing.

Wu Heng saw both their eyes fixed on the game, he said, "Xiao Xiao, we're going out tomorrow morning, don't forget to go home."

"Alright, so tonight I won't go back," Xiao Xiao said without turning her head.

"Okay." Wu Heng continued to look at Lilith, "I'm heading back now, call me if you need anything."

"Go home." Lilith waved her hand.

Wu Heng glanced at Lilith.

Thinking she was lucky to become a Hero earlier; otherwise, if she met Xiao Xiao earlier, together...

It would be very hard to become a Hero.

Retracting his gaze, he used the Teleportation Technique to leave.

…

Back at the Island Lord's Mansion.

He spent some time chatting in the living room with Mini; then the Skeleton Chefs had dinner laid out on the table.

Wu Heng stood up and led Mini to the dining room.

While the other women in the Island Lord's Mansion also gathered around the table, eating and chatting.

After eating for a while, Wu Heng picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said, "I'm heading out tomorrow for a trip to the dwarves' Deep Furnace Castle."

The table instantly fell silent.

Shanaela set down her fork, furrowed her brow slightly, "Going to the dwarves at this time? We don't seem to have any good relations with them."

What could be counted as a relationship is the cooperation between Gold and Silver Island and the Dwarf Commerce.

Wu Heng said, "I've agreed with the Dwarf Leader to borrow their 'Heart of Molten Fire' to melt some special items."

Viola set down her wine glass, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, "With your power now, you still need to rely on external items?"

"The special items I can use now are too few," Wu Heng said with a smile, "An ace up the sleeve is never too much."

Shanaela continued to ask, "Will there be any danger?"

"Don't worry," Wu Heng answered confidently, "The dwarves are more afraid of things going wrong than we are."

Looking around at everyone, "During the time I'm away, the island matters will run as usual, Lilith will stay to assist you all, and no one should leave the island for any reason to avoid danger."

"Okay!" several people nodded.

Wu Heng continued to focus on the figure eating steak, "Philippa! Did you hear?"

Philippa wiped her mouth, grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Why am I being singled out again?"

Wu Heng reminded, "Stay home and train well, keep an eye on the safety of the route."

"If you're worried, take me along! I've never been to the dwarves," Philippa immediately said.

The tone contained some excitement.

"Next time; this time I'll scout the way first," Wu Heng directly refused.

"Got it! If you're not taking me, why talk about it?" Philippa impatiently waved her hand.

Wu Heng continued to look at Shanaela and asked, "Do we have a map of the dwarf territory? I'm thinking about how to get there."
