Chapter 448, Kill Him First

Garrison?

I suddenly heard this word in a different world.

It felt a bit awkward.

Shannara curled up her legs on the sofa and continued to explain, "The location of Treasure Island is special. Most of the trade needs to be transferred from here, so each merchant group and force has arranged a certain number of people to protect the merchant group and also have a supervisory role."

Wu Heng understood what she meant.

Treasure Island is an important hub for maritime trade, but due to pirates, it is not trusted by the merchant groups and countries.

So they stationed people here in the form of guards.

To protect their respective merchant groups, once there is danger, the guards of each merchant group will unite and form a considerable fighting force.

"Didn't you go to the city hall or the guards to ask?"

Shannara sighed, "I asked, but there was no clear answer, just some official words, so I came to ask you if there is any information from the association."

Before, Wu Heng thought that this joint fleet was a bit unreliable.

But he didn't have any evidence, just a feeling.

There was no reason to stop the Flower of Stars and to participate in the action of encircling and suppressing pirates.

At that time, pirates were rampant, seriously affecting the trade of the route, and all the merchant groups were impatient.

Wu Heng thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask the deacon to see if there is any information, and I will tell you when I come back."

Shannara arched into his arms, "Well, you are so nice."

Minnie saw that the two had finished talking about business, and poked her head on the other side and asked jokingly, "Where is good?"

Shannara turned her face to her arms and muttered softly, "Everywhere is good."

"Then sister Shannara, what do you like most about the master?"

Shannara's face became redder, "Go away, you are not old, and you dare to ask anything."

"Hehe!" Minnie laughed at the side.

Wu Heng glanced at the sky, hugged the blushing wood elf beside him, "Are you going home tonight?"

A smaller voice, "It's up to you."

"Then I won't go back." Wu Heng stood up and picked up the wood elf, "How about, Minnie, let's go together tonight?"

Sanara leaned on his chest and looked at Minnie carefully, "Give me some more time, okay, Minnie!"

"Listen to my sister." Minnie smiled.

Wu Heng hugged her and walked upstairs.

...

The next day, after breakfast.

Sanara left, and Andwier also went to the association to work.

After disguising himself, he went out directly, called a carriage, and went to Lighthouse Street.

The carriage slowly stopped at the door of the Nautilus Tavern.

Pushing the door to enter the tavern, several bartenders were cleaning.

The bartender near the door said, "Sir, it's not open yet. You can come in the afternoon."

"I'm here to see Millicent. I'm her friend."

"Oh!" The bartender suddenly realized and gestured upstairs, "Come with me. The boss is in the room."

They climbed the stairs together.

Stopping in front of Millicent's room, the bartender knocked on the door, "Boss, a lady is here to see you. She said she's your friend."

"Let her in!"

"Madam, please." The bartender said, turned around and left.

Entered the room.

Millicent was wearing a loose beige nightgown, and her face was still hazy with sleepiness.

Frowning and looking at the figure standing at the door, "Who are you?"

Wu Heng took off the 'illusion veil' on his head, revealing the black cloak underneath.

Continue to take off the hood of the cloak, and then it was the original appearance.

"Sir!" Millicent stood up immediately.

She knew about the illusion veil.

But she didn't expect that there was another layer of protection inside, and she was more careful than before.

Wu Heng nodded, "There have been a lot of things recently, so try to be careful."

"You're right." Millicent agreed.

Wu Heng sat down and asked, "Have you collected any intelligence recently?"

"Yes!" Millicent pulled out the space ring covering his chest and took out a notebook.

Looking at the content on it, he said, "A guest said that some pirates were found to go to the island through the port, but nothing special happened. The second point is that the fleet that encircled and suppressed pirates has achieved obvious results. Many fleets docked at the port have not been harassed by pirates."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "How did you know about the fleet's encirclement and suppression of pirates?"

Millicent replied, "Some people from the fleet lived in the tavern and mentioned it during the chat. They said that they didn't encounter pirates when they came, so they attributed it to the fleet."

"Have those people seen the joint fleet of Treasure Island?"

Millicent shook his head, "I shouldn't have seen it. The meaning of the words is that it is speculated that the disappearance of the pirates is related to the fleet."

Wu Heng nodded to show that he understood.

Millicent closed the notebook, "There's not much information. There are a lot of people in the tavern recently, but they are all from the caravan."

"Yeah, it's okay." Wu Heng continued, "Pack up and leave with me later. Stay at my place for the time being and come back later."

"What about the tavern?" Millicent was a little surprised and asked subconsciously.

"Close it, or let an employee you trust run it first, it's your choice." Wu Heng said directly.

Millicent didn't dare to say no, and while packing up the things to take away, he said, "My lord, I choose the second one."

After the things were packed.

Wu Heng put on his clothes and went downstairs with Millicent.

When he reached the first floor, Millicent said he wanted to go back to his hometown, and the tavern was directly entrusted to a clerk.

Then, they walked out of the tavern together.

They took a carriage, went around Lighthouse Street, and returned to Central Street.

...

"Master, who is this?" Minnie looked at Millicent, a little curious.

"Philippa's mother will stay here for the time being. Arrange a room for her." Wu Heng said directly.

Then, he said to Millicent: "This is Minnie, who is responsible for all the daily life work here. If you need anything, you can talk to her."

"Miss Minnie." Millicent saluted.

Minnie smiled, "There are vacant rooms on the second and third floors."

"Miss Minnie will arrange it."

"If it faces south, the second floor room is larger and has good lighting, so let's go to the second floor."

"Okay."

The two girls said as they walked towards the room on the second floor.

Wu Heng went directly to the fourth floor and entered the study.

Sitting down at the desk, Wu Heng began to collect the intelligence he had collected in the past two days.

The merchant fleet that had no news was transferred away, the pirates entered Treasure Island, and the guards on the island were expanded.

The owner of the island was indeed related to the blank envelope.

Moreover, it was basically clear now.

He must be killed in advance.

Letting the other party take action first will only make him more passive.

After thinking about it, Wu Heng got up and went downstairs.

When he reached the second floor, Minnie was directing the skeleton to move some furniture into the room.

"Master, are you going out?" Minnie turned around and asked.

"Well, you stay at home and don't go out."

"Got it, Master."

Wu Heng took the skeleton attendant and went out directly to the association.

...

Deacon's study.

Wu Heng pushed the door open and entered. Imilo was looking at the sea chart.

He looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Deacon, I have collected some information and need to report it to you."

"Go ahead!" Imilo put down the map.

Wu Heng quickly told the scattered information he had collected before.

The owner of Treasure Island is level 18 and has been pardoned by the association and various forces. If he goes to kill him directly, it will not only be risky, but it will also be difficult to explain afterwards.

Moreover, there is no need for him to do this.

With the association and Imilo present, why should he take risks?

Yimi Luo's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "The intelligence analysis is good. What do you think?"

Wu Heng said, "Deacon, it is now certain that the island owner has basically rebelled and has never thought about restoring the route after pardoning him. It is just that it is not certain whether he is also acting according to the blank envelope or is the one who sent the blank envelope."

"Do you know his profession?" Yimi Luo said.

"I heard from Xilagui that he is a warrior."

Yimi Luo nodded, "In terms of professional positioning, warriors are more suitable for execution rather than decision-making, and are more likely to execute the blank envelope."

Wu Heng looked serious.

He said directly, "Deacon, I think even if we don't kill him immediately, we should control him to avoid any problems."
