As Chen Heng clapped his hands, a muffled sound spread out.
Following this, two servants slowly walked in, holding some things in their hands.
These were all of Chen Heng's magic items, and there were many of them.
Looking at these things, Maili and Ali immediately sat up straight and stared at them.
With his sharp senses, Maili seemed to have also discovered that there seemed to be a few things that they had never seen before among the items displayed in front of them.
Did Chen Heng have even more magic items that they had not seen before?
In an instant, this thought flashed through his mind. Then, his eyes couldn't help but burn with passion as he stared at the items placed before him.
"Sirs …"
Looking at Maili and Ali's reactions, Chen Heng smiled and said softly, "Even though we've reached an agreement, I still lack many things.
"I wonder if the two of you are interested in continuing to help me with something?"
Sitting in the seat of honor, he looked at the two people in front of him and spoke softly with a smile on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mai Li and the other man could not help but gulp.
"This …"
Meeting Chen Heng's gaze, Maili hesitated for a moment before giving an excited and passionate smile as he said, "Since Sir Viscount has a need, I am very willing to help Sir Viscount …"
As his voice fell, Ali stared at him with a dumbfounded expression.
Ali could still remember that before coming here, Maili seemed to rather die than submit and did not want to continue running around.
Why had he changed his mind in just an instant?
Moreover, it changed so quickly …
Looking at his companion's current state, he didn't know what to say.
However, neither Chen Heng nor Maili cared about what he was thinking.
"Since it's like this, I'll have to trouble the two of you."
Sitting at the main seat, Chen Heng nodded and said in satisfaction, "Don't worry.
As long as the two of you can help, I'm sure the rewards will be satisfactory. "
"That couldn't be better."
Hearing this, Maili smiled, seeming to be quite expectant.
They looked at each other, and then they both smiled, looking very happy.
After chatting for a while, the two mages turned around and left the place.
Only Chen Heng was left.
However, compared to before, he now had some books in his hands.
These books were none other than the records of the books that mages needed to meditate.
Before, Chen Heng had asked Maili and Ali to go to Amu City to buy food.
Apart from this, he had also asked them to help him buy some things, such as some basic books about Sorcerers.
These were the books in front of him.
What was in front of Chen Heng were the basics of Meditation, as well as the most basic runes.
"It's similar to Sorcerers, but it's also very different …"
Looking at the runes in front of him, Chen Heng frowned as he thought to himself.
From his perspective, these runes seemed to be similar to Sorcerers' legacies.
Sorcerer cultivation was the same. In the beginning, they needed to meditate to strengthen their mind and refine their mental power. After that, they would slowly raise their life level.
Sorcerers' cultivation was similar; they also needed to Meditate to increase their mental energy.
It was just that compared to Sorcerers, their Meditation methods were somewhat different.
Although their meditation was also through meditation runes, it was more dependent on external forces.
According to the information recorded in the book, if the mages in this world wanted to meditate and increase their mental strength, they would first need the help of various potions to allow themselves to enter a true state of meditation.
Only in this way could they successfully enter the state of mind. Then, under the stimulation of the potion's effects, their spiritual power would gradually increase.
However, this was not the case for Sorcerers.
Sorcerers' Meditation was supported by a complex and tightly knit system of runes.
Let's use the simplest example.
As a true Sorcerer, Chen Heng had grasped at least 100 sets of Meditation Runes. Each set was incredibly complicated and had different effects on tempering one's body.
However, this was not the case for Sorcerers in this world; they only had one set of Meditation runes.
Moreover, from what the two of them said, in this world, apart from the high-grade mages who would study some high-grade magic runes, the rest of the mages only relied on this set of runes to meditate.
Perhaps this was the difference between Sorcerers and Sorcerers. Even at the beginning, there was already such a massive difference.
From how Chen Heng saw it, if one used the same runes to Meditate repeatedly, the effects would gradually weaken.
In this regard, the sorcerer world's solution was to develop different runes and use those complex runes to temper one's spirit and gradually improve it.
However, this world's Sorcerer World chose a different path.
They chose to use external forces, using all kinds of unique magic materials to help them improve themselves.
Of course, this was a feasible path. However, Chen Heng could imagine that this world's Sorcerers would expend much more energy than Sorcerers.
It was no wonder that Sorcerers were called noble professions in this world.
If one did not have enough wealth, they would not be able to become a Sorcerer.
Apart from this, it seemed that Sorcerers' bodies were quite weak. Apart from some high-grade Sorcerers, most Sorcerers' bodies were only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
If such a situation were to happen to a Sorcerer, it would simply be an unbelievable thing.
As Sorcerers became stronger, their bodies would also become stronger under the influence of magic power. Even though they would not be as strong as Knights or Great Knights of the same level, they would still be far superior to ordinary people and would not be considered weak.
It was impossible for this world's Sorcerers to be like this in the Sorcerer World.
As such, even though they were essentially the same, there were many differences between this world's Sorcerers and the Sorcerer World's Sorcerers.
However, Chen Heng did not feel too surprised.
After all, this was a completely different world, and for them to have similar professions was already a coincidence. It was impossible for them to be similar in other aspects as well.
The resources, environment, and atmosphere of the two worlds were all different, so it was impossible for them to have the same results.
Moreover, even if other factors were excluded, in this world, there were still superhuman existences like Gods.
Since there were gods in this world, they would suppress other power systems.
After all, even if gods did not want to, their very existence would suppress the growth and progress of other power systems.
This was especially so in this world. Sorcerers had long since been targeted by the gods, and they had even created something like the magic net to restrict them.
Under such circumstances, even though this world's Sorcerers had all sorts of flaws, they could not continue to develop and could only be suppressed day after day.
Putting aside the influence of gods and other factors, perhaps after countless years, this world's Sorcerers would become like Sorcerers, slowly getting rid of their flaws and becoming a mature profession like Sorcerers.
However, for now, Chen Heng did not have much hope.
Chen Heng flipped through the books very quickly, and in just a short period of time, he had finished flipping through the books in front of him and memorized most of the contents.
As his mental energy increased, Chen Heng's memory became better and better. Now, even if it was a thick book, if he wanted to, he could quickly memorize it.
Of course, he could only memorize it.
If he wanted to thoroughly understand these things, he would still need some time.
Chen Heng got up and silently walked out, preparing to start a new day of training.
Before he knew it, it had been almost half a year since he brought his men to this place.
During this half a year, he had hunted down Orcs, opened up land, and gathered refugees. He had made some progress.
Of course, while doing these things, he did not forget to observe the situation in the south.
Just as he expected, the Oro Empire didn't stop after destroying the Maerakdo Kingdom. Instead, they continued to attack. They raised their blades at the other kingdoms and continued to wage war against them.
According to the news from the south, the battle was still continuing, and no one knew how long it would last.
Because of the battle, the prices of resources once again skyrocketed, and there were cries of pain everywhere.
Chen Heng did not know how long this would last.
He did not know how long the battle in the south would last, but he knew that he had to increase his strength as much as possible in order to deal with the upcoming situation.
The situation in the Karo Kingdom was not very stable.
There were many problems with this kingdom, not just its internal affairs but also because it was located in the wilderness and had to face the threat of Outlanders.
Moreover, this kingdom was a bit too close to the Oro Empire.
From how Chen Heng saw it, perhaps in the future, the Oro Empire would come knocking on his door.
If that was really the case, there would be trouble.
Chen Heng could not do anything about this.
The only thing he could do was to make use of this time to increase his strength as much as possible in order to deal with the possible dangers in the future.
Before he had enough strength, he decided to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention.
.....
Time gradually passed.
In the blink of an eye, another four months had passed.
During these four months, not only did the Karo Kingdom in the south undergo many changes, but even the wastelands also underwent many changes.
For example, on a plain, there were many traces of barren land.
If there were people who used to live here, they would discover that a town had appeared here at some point in time.
The town was quite simple, but there were simple wooden walls around it to keep out wild beasts.
However, the people living inside were not normal humans, but rather Kobolds that were only a little over a meter tall.
Kobolds continuously walked in and out, and many of them held simple weapons, such as simple wooden spears and simple bows and arrows.
After more than four months of development, this place had indeed changed a lot.
The town was quite well constructed, and even though it was quite simple, it was quite complete and did not have any blind spots.
In the outside world, not only did the patrolling Kobolds have their own weapons, but they also had many new tools.
Under a certain person's guidance, they had learned how to make ropes and weave nets to hunt and fish for meat.
On the outskirts, there were many Kobolds holding simple tools, clearing the land and planting some simple crops.
These were all things that the Kobolds had gathered from all over the place.
As a race that lived in the wilderness, the Kobolds naturally had the ability to find edible food. They knew very well what kinds of food were edible and what kinds of things were poisonous.
Under the leadership of a certain Kobold Chief, they started to try planting these things, and they had some initial results.
At the very least, the things that they had planted had sprouted, and it seemed that they would be able to harvest them in half a year.
If others were to know about the changes that had taken place here, they would probably be dumbfounded and wouldn't dare to believe what they were seeing at this moment.
Just like these humans.
Within the Kobold Town, two men were being escorted forward. As the Kobolds looked on warily, they slowly advanced.
"Great sun god above … are these really Kobolds?"
A middle-aged man with two scars on his face, dressed in a grey robe, looked around in disbelief. He could not believe his own appearance. "He Lu, do you think I'm dreaming?"
I really want to tell myself that this is a dream, but my eyes tell me that this is all real. "
Behind the middle-aged man was a man with a head of red hair. The lines on his face looked a little rough. At this moment, he also had a bitter smile on his face as he spoke.
"Accept reality, Kumur."
Looking at the middle-aged man, the red-haired Heru gave a bitter smile, "You're not hallucinating or seeing things; we've indeed been captured by a group of Kobolds."
"Great sun god above, this is ridiculous."
"That's right, it's really ridiculous."
Ku Mu Er also spoke with a sigh.
Both of them were Wasteland Walkers. Originally, they had come to this wasteland to obtain some local specialties in this area to bring back to sell.
This was not strange.
Even though the wasteland was dangerous, there were many things that could only be found in this region.
The fur, medicinal herbs, and even some unique minerals were all quite precious, and to people from other places, they were quite good things.
It was because of this that some hunters would come to this region during normal times.
As long as one was experienced and skilled enough, the dangers in this region would not be as great as one might imagine.
In this aspect, the two people before him were undoubtedly qualified.
Their only mistake was that they had gone a little too far this time. They had gone too deep, which had led to the current situation.
Thinking about their previous encounter with the Kobolds, Heru and Kumur looked at each other and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Before this, they had encountered the Kobolds in this region.
In the beginning, they didn't pay too much attention to them.
After all, these were only some Kobolds, and they were nothing to veteran hunters like them.
Under the same circumstances, the Kobolds were weaker than Orcs or humans.
In the wild, these creatures usually wouldn't move in groups and would only appear in groups of two or three.
With their strength, defeating a few Kobolds shouldn't be too much of a problem.
However, what they discovered afterwards gave them a heavy blow.
In the outside world, the Kobolds were very scattered, barbaric, and unorganized.
However, this was not what they saw in this area.
They were indeed Kobolds, but they set off in groups.
They seemed to have organized themselves into a small team, with an even stronger Kobold as the team leader. They seemed to have some basic level of organization.
Just this alone was enough for the two of them to take it.
After all, even though humans were stronger than the Kobolds, they were far from being able to crush them.
Generally speaking, a single Kobold might not be as strong as a human, but if two Kobolds teamed up, ordinary humans wouldn't be a match for them.
Not to mention, there were even stronger Kobolds.
Even though Heru and Kumur were strong Warriors, they couldn't deal with 10 Kobolds.
Not to mention, they had weapons on hand.
The two of them dared to swear that this was the only time in their lives that they had ever seen such a thing.
It was the first time they had ever seen a Kobold with a weapon.
Facing such a lineup, the two of them were taken down without any exception. There was no chance of luck at all.
It couldn't be helped.
The strength of the Kobolds was there for all to see.
Facing the encirclement of 100 Kobolds, they couldn't even resist and were directly captured. Then, the Kobolds used the ropes and nets that they carried with them and brought them here.
To be honest, the rope nets were originally prepared to be used by the Kobolds to hunt.
But now, they were used on the two of them.
As the Kobolds returned, the two of them were brought back as captives.
