Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1017, The Second Hero

Sim stood in front of the window, his round-framed glasses reflecting the starlight that penetrated the sky and the earth.

He never expected that he would see the legendary hero being promoted the second day after he arrived at Treasure Island.

"Viola!" Sim whispered the name.

The hero is obviously Viola, the witch who issued the cards.

There are witch stories written by bards in the tavern, and there are stalls for exchanging and selling cards in the market.

This evil witch who was once on the wanted list of the association was hailed as a hero by Treasure Island.

Sim suddenly remembered a book he had read, in which there was a hero.

Wherever he passes, the poisonous swamp will bloom with flowers.

Sim returned to his desk, picked up his pen, and hesitated to write anything.

Should I write a report to the headquarters?

If I wrote, I would pass on information as soon as I arrived on the island, like a planted spy.

No! When the headquarters gets the news from other channels, I won’t be able to explain myself.

"Damn it!" Sim pulled his hair and threw the letter aside.

The dissatisfaction of the headquarters is much better than offending Treasure Island.

……

On the bluestone streets of Treasure Island, the constant hawking sounds came to an abrupt halt.

The baguette in the bakery owner's hand and the silver tray held by the tavern waitress tilted, and everyone walked out of the shop and looked up in the direction of the island owner's mansion.

The Milky Way rolls back and the waterfall of stars pours down.

All the natives on the island have seen this kind of scene, except that the last time it was the Pope who attacked Treasure Island.

They were gathered by the association in an open space in the central area and saw the same magnificent starry sky.

People didn't know what it was at the time until the next day when the island owner's mansion published a newspaper.

It was announced that the island master had become a hero, and last night’s vision was also a symbol of becoming a hero.

"Is this another person becoming a hero?"

"It must be Miss Viola. Some people have long speculated that Viola will soon become a hero."

"Bullshit! I think it was the Rabbit God Messenger. They all say she is the messenger of the church. Anyway, she was the first to become a hero."

And after a brief commotion.

Some representatives of merchant groups and people from various forces who remained on the island also walked quickly towards their residences.

A new hero has appeared on Treasure Island again, and the entire situation is likely to change.

Pass the message on immediately.

……

wood elf.

In the reception room of the Grand Elder’s residence.

The incense rises up, like a layer of gauze under the sunlight.

In the reception room, the great elder of the wood elves, 'Bonifa', picked up the teacup, took a sip, and glanced ahead.

Sitting opposite was the local Archbishop of the Holy See, draped in silver silk.

The archbishop's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

"Your Holiness is very displeased with the recent behavior of the wood elves..." The archbishop put down his teacup, and the bottom of the cup touched the table, making a crisp sound. "If this continues, I am afraid it will affect the long-standing... harmony between the two sides."

The great elder Boniface smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed. "It's just a few small churches. The Holy See is broad-minded. Why should we care about these insignificant cooperation?"

"The Church is naturally lenient." The Archbishop's voice was still elegant, but it was faintly cold. "But as the Archbishop of the Wood Elves, I can't sleep at night and feel deeply guilty."

Bonifa said, "The Wood Elves will always be the most staunch supporters of the Church. There are tens of thousands of believers in the country, spread across major cities. You don't need to worry about this."

The archbishop tapped the tabletop with his fingertips, the rhythm slow and heavy.

This was not the first time he had come to discuss this matter. Perhaps it was because he had almost trampled the threshold of this place over the past few months.

"Grand Elder!" The Archbishop did not intend to continue to be tactful, and said in a low voice, "The Holy Church has issued an order. If the churches of the Spiritual Enlightenment Church are not cleared out in the territory of the Wood Elves, the Holy See will send the Holy See to deal with it personally."

He leaned forward slightly, his hair falling and shining in the sun, "By then, it's hard to say whether you and the other elders will still be able to sit here and drink tea."

Bonifacio's fingers stiffened slightly.

As this period of time passed, the news from the Holy See quickly spread to the ears of every race.

It turns out that all the heroic people in the Holy See will be given the title of Holy See.

"Look... we need to convene a meeting of elders and give you a reply then, okay?" The great elder 'Bonifa' planned to delay again.

The archbishop sneered, "You must give me an answer today. If you don't, it means that the wood elves have completely betrayed the Holy See, and I will report it truthfully to the Holy Church."

As the words fell, the air seemed to freeze.

The only sounds in the room were the two people's breathing.

Just as the great elder 'Bonifa' looked solemn and was about to speak.

Ta Ta Ta Ta~!

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and a servant walked in quickly, saluted respectfully, then leaned over and whispered a few words in the ear of the great elder.

Boniface frowned and said, "Archbishop Irwin, please wait a moment. I need to take care of some things here."

"Please go ahead! But I will wait for you to come back." The archbishop nodded.

Boniface led his attendants to the next room, and after the soundproofing pot blocked out the noise, he said, "What's going on?"

The attendant lowered his voice and said, "The Fifth Elder used the Treasure Island props to send back a message saying that the stars above the Treasure Island are upside down and a second hero has appeared. I guess it is the recently promoted 'Viola'. Elder Shannara has not sent back any news yet."

Second hero!

The Great Elder's pupils suddenly contracted.

In the previous elders' meeting, they had had similar speculations that Wu Heng was able to become a hero so quickly because he might have mastered a way to get promoted.

Just follow this method to copy a second hero.

As the months passed, this matter was forgotten by everyone.

But unexpectedly, the second hero suddenly appeared at this time, and it was 'Viola'.

A wanted criminal who was once on the wanted list.

It would not be surprising if any elder of the association became a hero, but the wanted criminal became a hero, and it must be because of Treasure Island.

The attendant carefully glanced at the horrified Great Elder, and then continued, "The Fifth Elder also said that the decision made by the Council of Elders was correct, and that they could increase investment in Wu Heng."

The Great Elder narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded slowly, "I understand. Don't disclose this to anyone."

"Yes!" the servant replied and retreated.

However, the Great Elder did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat in the room and pondered quietly for a long time.

Then he slowly stood up, put away the soundproof kettle, and walked towards the reception room next door.

When he returned to the reception room, the archbishop was still sitting in the chair waiting, his impatience becoming more and more obvious. When he saw him coming back, he said directly: "Bonifa! Tell me directly, do you intend to obey the Holy Order, or follow the Lingqi Church to die together."

Bonifacio's polite smile faded and he sat down again opposite him. "Archbishop, you haven't heard anything about Treasure Island yet?"

The archbishop frowned and did not respond.

Boniface continued, "Why not wait a few days? The temple may send us new instructions."

"Is this your reason for continuing to delay?" The archbishop stood up suddenly. "I will report the truth to the cathedral. Just wait for the wrath of His Majesty and the Holy See!"

Bonifacio said calmly, "No thanks."

"Hmph!" The archbishop snorted coldly and walked away.

……

Island owner's mansion.

Wu Heng and Shanara appeared in the courtyard of the island owner's mansion.

As soon as I walked into the living room, I heard a noisy discussion coming from inside.

The maids and Xiao Xiao in the house were surrounding Viola, asking her how she felt about being promoted to a hero.

The other three ghosts sat not far away and watched with a smile.

"Now you can't be killed either?"

"Are you still using smoke as your attack method?"

"You are a hero now. You are even more powerful than your smoke demon patron."

"Yes, you can lure it here and let's catch it!"

Viola felt a little embarrassed by the questions, her cheeks flushed, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. Even if some of the questions didn't sound pleasant, she answered them with a smile.

It was not until the sound of Wu Heng's footsteps was heard that everyone suddenly fell silent and looked over in unison.

"Owner!"

"Wu Heng~!"

"Master Chief, Lady Shannella."

The red-crowned parrot flapped its wings and screamed, "Chief~Hero! Chief~Hero!"

"Uncle, Aunt Viola has become a hero." Xiaoxiao flew over quickly and said loudly.

"I saw it from outside." Wu Heng's eyes fell on Viola, "Congratulations, you're a hero."

Viola immediately knelt on one knee, placed her right hand on her chest, and performed a standard human knight salute. "I have lived up to your cultivation. I have been promoted to a hero."

The voice was low and there was a slight tremor in it.

Wu Heng reached out and patted her shoulder, "We agreed on this before you joined."

"I am willing to die for you," Viola whispered.

Wu Heng laughed, "What nonsense! Once you become a hero, your life will be more valuable."

"Yes!" Viola stood up, still excited in her eyes.

Hero~!

It is the ultimate dream of professionals in this world.

Although Viola had achieved it at this moment, she still felt like she was dreaming in her heart, and it was a little unreal.

The elders of the association and the leaders of various forces all stopped moving forward, and only he became a hero.

Such a short time after signing the contract with Wu Heng.

Several people sat down in the living room. Wu Heng took the herbal tea brought by Minnie and asked with a smile, "How does it feel to be a hero?"

The other maids also looked over there in unison.

Viola thought for a moment, "The magic power in my body seems to be endless, and there seems to be a new power, a power I have never felt before."

"This is the power of heroes. The reason why heroes are powerful is that ordinary professionals cannot kill them..." Wu Heng also told Viola what he knew.

The other party listened very seriously. When he was a guardian of the Divine Punishment Sect in the past, he had no chance to understand these things.

Wu Heng could only impart some theoretical knowledge. After all, the panel could not display Viola's attributes, so she could only rely on herself to explore.

"Oh, right!" Wu Heng put down his teacup. "The association still owes me 12 second-level merits. According to tradition, every six second-level merits can be converted into one first-level merit. You can see what kind of rare items and props you need when the time comes."

Viola's breathing became rapid.

"Thank you, sir."

The rest of the family also smiled.

Xiao Xiao boasted, "The association's treasures are just average. We have something more powerful, right, uncle?"

"Yes!" Wu Heng said to Viola, "I'll tell you about this later."

"Yes, my lord."

At this time, there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard. Minnie stood up and quickly opened the door, then ran back quickly and said, "Master, Miss Letili and some representatives of the Chamber of Commerce have arranged for someone to send gifts to Sister Viola, and there are also the personal guards of the wood elves, saying that the fifth elder wants to ask Sister Shannella to come over."

Shannella looked at Wu Heng and said, "You should ask Viola about that as well."

"Just tell him the truth. Wood elves are not outsiders." Wu Heng said with a smile.

"Okay!" Shannara continued, "You take me to my own place. It's not good to just leave from here."

Wu Heng stood up and said before leaving, "Viola, if you don't want to come forward, let Minnie accept the gift first. Oh, and have a big dinner to celebrate for Viola."

"Okay, my lord."

"Yes, Master."

The maid and Viola nodded together.

Wu Heng grabbed Shannara's arm and used [Teleportation] to disappear.

……

After dinner.

The lights in the living room were bright.

Viola, the maids, Tiny and Benny sat on the carpet covered with gifts, like a group of children hunting for treasure, excitedly opening the piles of gifts.

Even though Treasure Island has lost some of its popularity recently, the gifts sent by various forces still pile up like a small mountain.

In the gilded mithril box of the Snake Emblem Group, there is a sapphire ring that increases magic recovery.

This kind of magic prop with exquisite appearance and special effects has always been sold at a high price.

The other forces also sent exquisite crystal bottles, jewel-inlaid dresses, and various rare gifts.

"Wow! This is so beautiful!" Minnie held up a jewel necklace, which reflected tiny spots of light under the light.

Robbe was fiddling with a mechanical bird cage curiously, gently nodding the bird's head, causing it to chirp.

Several people looked through the gifts and exclaimed from time to time.

Shannella sat on the sofa, her eyes swept over the lively crowd, and said to Wu Heng beside her: "The fifth elder and I have confirmed Viola's news. I guess she will attend the elders' meeting through the radio now."

"You don't go to the Presbyterian Church?"

Shannella said, "You don't know how I got here, and I don't like participating in these things. They are so boring."

"The elders are all smart people. They know how to choose." Wu Heng took a sip of tea. "You should also level up quickly. When you become a hero, the wood elves will no longer have any concerns."

Shannella slapped his hand away and glared at him, "I've tried my best, okay? It wasn't this hard when I was on the ship. I trained every day and became so thin that my belt was two notches loose. Do you think it's too slow?"

"You look best like this now." Wu Heng took the opportunity to hold her waist, his palms sliding along the silk material and touching her delicate skin. "You are more attractive than before."

"Xiaoxiao is still here, don't force me to hit you." Shannella's ears turned red and she nudged him with her elbow.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "Let's take a bath together tonight?"

"Then wait until I finish my training!" Shannara did not refuse.

After they divided the gifts, they went to the training room together.

The sky was completely dark.

The rest of the people also returned to their rooms.

In the dim corridor, Shannella walked directly into Wu Heng's bedroom in her pajamas.

At the corner, Viola looked at the closed door, sighed, and returned to her room.

……

Early morning, Treasure Island Street.

The newsman stood on a wooden box, holding the Treasure Island Express high in his hand, and his loud voice penetrated the morning mist, "The latest newspaper, Viola was promoted to hero..., the second hero of Treasure Island."

"Take a look, take a look, Treasure Island has a second hero, our own hero."

On the front page, a portrait of Viola covered in starlight filled almost the entire page, with a gold-plated title printed below:

The Second Hero of Treasure Island is Born! Queen of Smoke and Nightmare - Viola's Legendary Journey.

As the hawking sounds began.

A large crowd immediately gathered around and rushed to buy the newspapers on sale.

port!

Piles and bundles of newspapers were carried by sailors onto different ships.

These ships are merchant ships and association ships shipped to various places, and the news of the second hero of Treasure Island will also be sent to various places.

A captain took the newspaper that the sailor bought from below.

After taking a look, he said, "I'm afraid that all places will cause a stir again because of Treasure Island."

"I'm used to it!" said the deputy captain beside him with a smile.
