The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 312: Chapter 257, Send Her Over There (Thanks for your monthly votes, one more chapter added.)

Several types of arrowheads, each with different effects.

Poison, actually, is quite easy to understand.

Just smear some toxins on the tip of the arrow.

But those that explode or generate a static cloud are indeed quite special.

“These magic arrows are meticulously crafted by our senior artisans, and we can guarantee that each will perform its intended effect,” the human man said as he walked out of the shop.

He touched his goatee and spoke softly.

Wu Heng looked up at him and continued to inspect the arrowheads, “Are these considered magic items?”

“Indeed they are etched with runes, but they are considered consumables and do not fall into the category of magic items,” the man explained, then continued, “Would you like to buy some to try? They can be very effective against some tough enemies.”

“I’ll take a look. I’ll come back when I need them,” Wu Heng said.

The man smiled, “Take your time, customer.”

Then, he continued to attend to the next visitors, describing the functions of each type of arrowhead.

…

After passing the shop, Wu Heng was still thinking about the arrowheads with various special effects.

He had pondered this issue before.

Considering remote damage, why hadn’t anyone developed firearms given the scarcity of options here? After all, things like Poison Smoke Thunder and Wind Fire Thunder exist.

Now it seems that the direction of development is completely different from that of Earth.

Humans invented explosive bombs, armor-piercing rounds, tracer bullets, whereas here they developed explosive arrows and Static Cloud Arrows, these kinds of special arrowheads.

And because of professionals.

Bows can shoot farther and more accurately, and in terms of effects, may not be inferior to bullets.

Etching equipment is indeed a good direction for development.

…

Wu Heng continued to walk forward.

He had found his target.

The Elf Race’s shop.

The open doors allowed a glimpse of an elegant woman dressed in a green gown standing behind the counter.

Wu Heng, accompanied by his skeleton attendant, walked straight into the shop.

As soon as he stepped in, he paused briefly.

Inside the shop, another person was sitting—an individual with blond hair and pointed ears, Associate Steward Xi Ligui.

When the other saw Wu Heng enter, he was also taken aback.

“Is there a problem?” Xi Ligui was the first to speak.

“No problem, just looking to see what’s for sale. Is the Associate Steward here to buy something?” Wu Heng asked.

Xi Ligui glanced at the woman behind the counter and nodded, “Yes, just having a look.”

The middle-aged woman behind the counter walked over with a smile.

She asked, “And who might this customer be?”

Xi Ligui introduced him, “He’s the Associate Steward from the association, Wu Heng.”

The woman suddenly understood and was surprised that such a young human being had secured the position.

She bowed slightly, “Good afternoon, Deputy Steward Wu Heng.”

“Good afternoon.”

“Deputy Steward, what would you like to see?” the middle-aged woman asked as she followed him.

Wu Heng no longer paid attention to ‘Xi Ligui’ and looked around the shop.

His gaze rested upon the longbows on the shelf.

“How much for these longbows?”

“25 silver coins each, with a minimum order of 200 pieces,” the woman said.

The price was quite reasonable.

Wu Heng continued, “After placing an order, how long until delivery?”

“Within 12 days. It should arrive in your hands around the 10th day,” she replied.

“Is there any room for a discount?”

“Our prices are fixed based on the distance traveled; they are not negotiable,” the woman continued to explain.

That simplified things, saving the hassle of haggling.

He said directly, “I’ll order two thousand. If the quality and delivery speed satisfy me, I will continue to purchase more afterward.”

The middle-aged woman was slightly surprised.

After all, Gold and Silver Island was just a small island, and the business wasn’t too good.

Most of their trade was from ships docking here before heading out to sell to other continental powers.

But this time, it seemed she had encountered a significant customer.

So decisively, it’ll be two thousand of them then.

There might be more orders to follow.

Her gaze shifted toward ‘Xi Ligui’ nearby, whose eyes also held a mix of surprise and skepticism.

Obviously, she hadn’t expected such a large order either.

“I’ll write up the invoice for you right now,” the woman immediately went to the counter and began filling out the invoice.

Meanwhile, she said, “Deputy Steward, with the Association providing a guarantee, you only need to pay a 30% deposit. When the goods arrive, it will be deducted from the payment.”

“Hm,” Wu Heng directly took out bag after bag of silver coins and placed them on the counter.

The two women were astonished by this scene.

Carrying so much money with him.

After the woman confirmed the count was correct.

She smiled and said, “Once the goods arrive, I’ll have someone inform you through the Association.”

“That’s fine.”

Picking up the invoice, Wu Heng was about to leave.

…

At the doorway.

The elf ‘Xi Ligui’ followed him out, “Where are you headed?”

“Back to the Association.”

“That’s perfect, I’m heading back too. Let’s go together!” Xi Ligui said, taking the lead.

Wu Heng glanced at the elf’s figure and followed side by side.

“What do you need so many bows for?” asked Xi Ligui.

“I’ve heard that the Elf Race’s bows are particularly good, and I plan to take them back to my hometown,” Wu Heng replied directly.

It wasn’t exactly a lie, just a bit vague.

“You’re buying them yourself? Isn’t there an elf store over there?”

“It’s quite remote; this is my first time seeing a member of the Elf Race,” Wu Heng said, giving the refined elf a sidelong glance.

Seemingly aware of Wu Heng’s gaze.

The elf turned her head to look at him, continuing to ask, “What would your evaluation be, if you were to give one?”

“Hmm…” Wu Heng thought for a moment, then said, “Elegant, refined.”

Xi Ligui’s face also broke into a smile, “Thank you.”

She continued, “By the way, I’m a magic swordsman; what’s your profession? It’s good to know each other; it could be helpful when we fight together.”

A magic swordsman?

Another unique profession.

Seeing that she was still staring at him with her big eyes, Wu Heng said, “My profession is somewhat special; talking about it tends to lead to misunderstandings.”

“What’s there to worry about? It’s just a profession. With your age, becoming a Deputy Steward is rare enough; why care about other people’s opinions?” Xi Ligui smiled, offering her perspective.

Wu Heng looked at her and said, “Are you sure you want to hear it?”

“Very special?”

“Quite special!”

“Special as a magic swordsman?”

Necromancer, as it turned out, was indeed more widely known than the profession of magic swordsman, at least outside of Black Stone Town and Lundham City.

“Seems not as special as that profession,” Wu Heng said.

“You might as well say it; I’m bound to find out sooner or later,” Xi Ligui urged.

“Necromancer!”

The walking Xi Ligui stopped dead in her tracks and turned around, her hand instinctively reaching for her longsword at her waist.

Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed as he said nonchalantly, “As Deputy Steward Xi Ligui, you shouldn’t harbor prejudices against professions, right?”

Xi Ligui, realizing her own reaction, immediately removed her hand, saying, “Sorry, I just didn’t react in time.”

“No problem, I’m used to it.”

The two talked as they walked.

Together, they returned to the Association and then parted ways, heading to the Deputy Steward’s Office.

…

Inside the office.

Wu Heng had just returned and was about to ask Andre Willow to head home.

When he heard her say, “Master, a small team has submitted a request.”

“Hm? What request?”

“Team 3 has spotted a Level 13 fugitive. They request the Deputy Steward to lead the capture.”

“Send it to ‘Xi Ligui’; she’s just returned.”
