Even though Jacdo and his group had been acting quite normally recently and had been killing demon beasts as if they were completely harmless, they had not expected such a thing to happen.
However, the massive amount of negative faith energy they had told Ali and Ali that they were not good people.
If they allowed them to stay in this town, they would sooner or later reveal their true nature and cause great harm to this peaceful town.
This was something that Ali and Ali did not want to happen.
Normally, in order to keep an eye on Jacdo and his group and stop them, they would have stayed until Jacdo and his group left.
However, what was happening right now was simply too important.
The hero's trial represented the hero, and it was something that could not be done without.
Moreover, the hero's trial was the key to defeating the demon king and ending the demon disaster.
If the demon king was not defeated, the demon disaster would not end, and the entire world would fall into danger.
As such, even from this perspective, they had to leave and participate in the Hero's Trial.
Whether it was to become a hero themselves or to watch others become heroes, they had to go and participate in this trial.
For this, they had to leave this place and go somewhere else.
Chen Heng knew about this.
"If you want to leave, then go."
Chen Heng smiled as he said softly, "No matter what, I will support you."
"Thank you."
Ali nodded in gratitude and hesitated before reminding Chen Heng to pay more attention to Jacdo and his group.
After Chen Heng nodded, the two of them turned and walked out of the room.
Watching the two of them leave, Chen Heng thought to himself.
"It seems that they are quite worried about you."
Sitting on the wooden chair, Chen Heng seemed to be talking to himself as he said, "Even before leaving, they warned me to be careful of you."
His soft words did not cause any reaction, and it was as if he really was talking to himself.
However, after a few moments, a hazy figure appeared next to Chen Heng and stood there.
"How did you find me next to you?"
When the figure appeared, Jacdo's figure also appeared, standing next to Chen Heng.
He looked at Chen Heng with a confused expression.
"Just a random guess."
Chen Heng smiled and said softly, "After all, this kind of scene is quite rare. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?"
"That's true."
The Demon King nodded in agreement.
It was a rare sight for a Hero to bid farewell to a Trial Taker.
At the same time, he had some things he wanted to ask Chen Heng.
That was why he came here again.
"What do you plan to do now?"
Looking at Chen Heng, the Demon King smiled, "The hero's trial has appeared; you don't have much time left."
"If you miss this opportunity, the Hero's Trial will never appear again while you are still alive."
"I understand."
Chen Heng nodded, knowing this very well.
The Demon King and the Hero would only awaken and awaken when they entered the foreign trial takers.
This meant that if Chen Heng missed this hero's trial, he would not be able to wait for the next trial to begin unless he could wait for the next challenger.
And that was obviously something that had a very small probability of happening.
"So, what's your decision?"
Looking at Chen Heng, Jacdo smiled and asked.
"What do you think?"
Chen Heng's expression was calm as he casually asked, "Based on what you said, I don't seem to have a choice."
"That's right, you don't have a choice."
Jacdo nodded before asking curiously, "So, you've decided to participate in the hero's trial and compete with that young man from before?"
"Have you thought it through?"
Chen Heng looked at Jacdo, "It seems that you look forward to this a lot."
"Of course."
Jacdo smiled, "This is the first time I've seen an outsider participate in the hero's trial.
"Excluding the meaning behind this matter, just this matter itself is worth looking forward to."
Looking at Jacdo's smile, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he said, "Perhaps.
"After Ali leaves, I'll get up and leave through another path."
During this time … "
He looked at Jacdo and asked with some interest, "May I ask Your Majesty, are you interested in being hired by me to be my bodyguard?"
Hearing this, even Jacdo could not help but feel startled before he laughed.
"You."
He laughed as if he felt that this was quite funny, "Do you know who I am?"
"I do, the representative of negative faith energy, the source of the demonic creature disaster, and the eternal Demon King of this world."
Chen Heng casually nodded and said a string of words.
"Since you know, you still dare to hire me to be your bodyguard?"
Jacdo looked at Chen Heng and gave a slight smile, "You want the Demon King to be your bodyguard to personally escort a hero candidate; you're quite daring.
However, I have to admit that I am very interested in your suggestion.
"I accept your offer of employment."
He looked at Chen Heng and gave his answer.
"Very good."
Chen Heng nodded, "Since it's like that, please go back and make some preparations.
When the time comes, my servant will notify you. "
Hearing this, Jacdo did not reply and his body gradually disappeared, turning into a blur as he left this place.
A moment later, all traces of him disappeared, and it seemed that he had returned to where he was.
Chen Heng continued to sit there as if he had thought of something.
Time gradually passed.
In the following period of time, one person after another left.
The second day after meeting with Chen Heng, Ali prepared to pack his things and leave.
When he left, a large group of mercenaries surrounded him, feeling quite reluctant to see him leave.
In fact, many people expressed that they wanted to follow Ali and leave this place.
It had to be said that the hero's charisma was quite shocking.
Although they had only known each other for a short period of time, Ali's every move and action had given him quite a number of supporters in this place.
There were even some who were willing to give up their increasingly perfect lives and decent treatment to follow him. They were willing to give up everything just to follow him.
Her charisma and charisma made Chen Heng feel quite surprised and shocked.
Ali had wanted to refuse these mercenaries who wanted to follow him and persuade them to stay.
To him, this was just to participate in the hero's trial. Even if these people followed him, they would not be of much help to him.
After all, if he wanted to pass the hero's trial and become a true hero, he could only rely on himself.
However, in the end, he was convinced by Chen Heng.
"It is a good thing that there are people willing to follow you."
Looking at Ali, Chen Heng said, "Moreover, the journey from now on might not be smooth; it's best if you take these people with you."
Hearing this, Ali felt quite confused.
"Even though the so-called hero's trial is only a test of oneself, there might be other obstacles in the process."
Chen Heng looked at Ali before patiently explaining, "During this process, those who have other hero's candidates might not be willing to compete and might use some methods to get rid of other competitors."
"What?"
As the sound of his voice faded, Ali was shocked, and then he froze.
He was shocked because Chen Heng knew about the hero's trial, but he was also stunned because of Chen Heng's words.
Only after a while did he calm down and look at Chen Heng.
By now, Chen Heng no longer tried to hide it and openly revealed his faith energy.
The pure power of faith continued to interweave on his body, enveloping him like a layer of holy light. It made him look especially divine and extraordinary.
Just by looking at it, it was already sufficiently unique. The pure Faith Power contained within it was even more astonishing.
Looking at the massive amount of faith energy that Chen Heng gave off, Ali was initially shocked, but then he felt delighted.
"So Mr. Ed is also …"
He instantly knew where Chen Heng had gotten this information from.
The news of the Hero's Trial could only be known by the qualified Hero's Candidate.
As for Chen Heng, he was undoubtedly someone who had the right to do so.
It was not strange for him to know about the hero's trial.
However, Ali still felt quite confused by Chen Heng's words.
"The candidates of the Hero should be upright people. Why would they do something like obstructing other candidates?"
He looked at Chen Heng with confusion in his eyes.
"Perhaps they won't, but the powers behind them might."
Chen Heng's expression was calm as he said calmly, "From the past until now, the things that good people have done are not always good things."
Good people often did bad things; this was often the case.
No matter what, if one wanted to do something well, one could not just look at the bad side; one also had to look at one's abilities.
If one's abilities were not good enough, even if one had good intentions, they could be used by others and turn a good thing into a bad thing.
Perhaps the other candidates had good intentions, but the people around them might not.
For the sake of their own benefits, the factions that had Hero candidates would definitely think of ways to eliminate their competitors and exclude the other Hero candidates.
As long as the other candidates could not participate in the trial, they would naturally be able to obtain the final legacy and become this generation's hero.
There were definitely many people who thought this way.
"Moreover …"
Chen Heng looked at Ali and said meaningfully, "Those who have the qualifications to become heroes are not necessarily good people."
Not necessarily good people?
Ali felt quite startled and instinctively wanted to retort, but he did not say anything and sank into his thoughts.
Those who had potential hero's candidates were indeed not necessarily righteous people.
The most obvious example was Chen Heng.
He also had the power of positive faith and was qualified to become a hero candidate, but was he a righteous person?
Evidently, he was not.
Perhaps he was not evil, but he was not righteous either.
In order to achieve his goals, he would use some despicable and shameless methods; he was completely capable of such things.
Since Chen Heng could do such a thing, why couldn't others?
In actuality, if it wasn't for the fact that Chen Heng knew that with Ali's Fortune, even if he acted, he might not be able to stop Ali. Perhaps he really would have acted and tried to stop Ali.
"Since it's like that …"
In front of Chen Heng, Ali thought for a while before a resolute look appeared on his face, "Then I can't accept these people following me.
"Participating in the Brave Warrior's Trial is only for me."
"I won't be able to forgive myself if I bring other innocent people into the conflict because of this matter."
Chen Heng felt quite surprised by Ali's decision, but he was not too surprised.
From what he understood of Ali, this was indeed his personality.
He was righteous, friendly, and sincere; he did not want to trouble others and did not want others to make sacrifices for him.
To be able to make such a decision, Ali was worthy of being called a hero candidate; he was a true righteous person.
With Ali's personality, it was not surprising that he would make such a decision.
"Since you've made your decision, let's go."
Looking at Ali, Chen Heng smiled and said, "Before you leave, if you need anything, just let me know.
"There's no need to be so courteous."
He said softly, "No matter what, you've helped me for so long.
These are your rewards; there's no need to reject them. "
As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the side stepped forward and brought some things over.
It was a set of light leather armor and a fine long sword.
Outside, there were servants leading two horses, and they slowly approached.
The leather armor and sword had been forged by Chen Heng himself, and he had added some unique materials that he had brought in the past, as well as some runes.
As for the horses, he had specially bought them, and they were a rare breed in this world.
To the people of this world, this set of items was definitely not cheap. Even those famous nobles might not have the money to buy it.
"Mr. Ed …"
Looking at these things, Ali felt quite moved and deeply nodded to Chen Heng, not knowing what to say.
"Go."
Chen Heng did not say anything else and lightly nodded, indicating for Ali to leave.
Ali did not say anything else and silently put on the leather armor, picked up the sword, and bowed to Chen Heng.
After bowing, he turned and left with his good friend.
After Ali left, the other servants slowly left, leaving Chen Heng by himself.
Looking at Ali's disappearing figure, Chen Heng lightly sighed, feeling quite complicated.
"It seems that you like that boy a lot."
A strange voice sounded out from the side, sounding somewhat curious.
"You seem quite surprised?"
Chen Heng did not feel too surprised at the voice, and his expression was calm as he spoke softly.
The only person who could suddenly appear in front of him was naturally the demon king Jacdo.
He stood next to Chen Heng and looked at Chen Heng with a curious look on his face.
"That's right."
He didn't hide his thoughts and nodded straightforwardly. "From what I've observed, you seem to be a very calm person. No matter what you do, you're always very rational."
"Even so, I'm just a normal person."
Chen Heng rubbed his forehead as he said, "Even to me, someone like Ali who treats people with sincerity and sincerity is much friendlier than others."
"It shouldn't be surprising that I like someone like him."
He looked at Jacdo and said softly.
Chen Heng did not hide his good impression of Ali.
This was not strange.
Even though Chen Heng often wanted to make use of others, he did not lack his own feelings.
In this world, there were many things that were not absolute.
Having good feelings for someone and using them to achieve one's goals did not conflict.
"So it's like that."
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Jacdo thought to himself and nodded, "As expected, it's not just a coincidence that you can condense positive faith energy.
"Although you are very direct in many aspects and always look rational on the surface, in fact, you don't lack beautiful feelings in your heart."
That's why you can condense positive faith energy. "
"Good feelings."
Chen Heng frowned as he looked at Jacdo, "Is this necessary to condense faith energy?"
"Of course."
Looking at Chen Heng, Jacdo smiled as he said, "In actuality, having enough potential is only the most basic requirement for condensing faith energy.
"However, apart from this, whether the faith energy you condense is positive or negative depends on you.
"If your heart is positive, then the faith energy you condense will be positive. If your heart is negative, then the faith energy you condense will be negative."
Speaking to there, he paused before looking at Chen Heng and the dense faith light above his head, "Evidently, what you condense is positive faith energy; that is enough to explain everything."
"Interesting."
Chen Heng smiled and suddenly felt that this was quite interesting, "I don't feel like I'm a righteous person."
"Righteousness is not a requirement for a hero."
Jacdo shook his head, "In actuality, what a hero represents is positive faith and not something as simple and narrow as justice.
"In other words, a purely righteous person cannot become a hero, and a hero does not necessarily represent justice.
"Even though most of the time, the two are equivalent, that is not necessarily the case.
