"Esteemed Your Highness Guromary, Hatim Domain welcomes you …"
Within the quiet courtyard, Chen Heng looked at Guromary and gave a faint smile.
"I'd like to thank you for your help."
Guromary also had a smile on her face as she looked at Chen Heng and said softly, "If it wasn't for your help, Mr. Olimo and I would have met with misfortune."
"This is what I should have done."
Chen Heng smiled and nodded, looking quite calm and not arrogant at all, "I still remember the help you gave me back then.
As for what has happened, it doesn't mean much to us. "
"Indeed … it doesn't mean much …"
Hearing this, Guromary couldn't help but sigh, not knowing what to say at this time.
This was most likely the difference between them.
To others, such a terrifying enemy was nothing in Guromary's eyes.
"I've already cleared out the surroundings of Hatim Domain and arranged a place for you to stay."
Standing there and looking at Guromary in front of him, Chen Heng smiled and said softly, "You must be tired after coming all the way here. If you don't feel well, you can go and rest for a while."
If you need anything else, you can send a servant over. "
Chen Heng said softly.
"I understand."
Guromary gave a slight smile and lightly nodded before saying, "Then I'll go and rest for a while.
I'll come to visit you in a few days, "she said.
Seeing Chen Heng nod, she turned and left.
She turned around and left, walking out of the courtyard with Orimo by her side.
Chen Heng stood there with a calm expression as he watched Guromary's figure disappear from his field of vision.
Only when Guromary's figure completely disappeared from his sight did he turn around with a pensive look on his face.
"That feeling just then was most likely not an illusion …"
Chen Heng thought to himself and thought to himself.
When he had come into contact with Guromary, he had sensed a strange aura within her body.
It was a faint might of a bloodline, similar to his own divine bloodline, but it was much thinner and not as dense as Guromary's.
But even so, it was already very impressive.
If it really was the blood of God, then it meant that he was one of the most respected people in this world.
However, there was something not quite right.
With Guromary's condition, if she had really awakened the God's Blood, she should not be this weak.
Those who could awaken the God's blood, even if they had poor aptitudes, would become stronger under the influence of the power of the bloodline.
To put it bluntly, every person who could awaken the Divine Blood was an absolute genius.
It was just like Chen Heng.
The previous owner of this body was very average in many aspects, and could even be said to be very poor.
However, after Chen Heng had descended and awakened the divine blood in his body, this body's aptitude had greatly improved.
By now, no matter if it was cultivating life energy or becoming a Mage, it was incredibly easy for him.
As long as he was willing, he could easily reach a level that ordinary people could never reach in their lifetime.
For someone like him who had awakened the God's blood, this was merely normal.
It was similar to his situation.
If Guromary had awakened the God's blood, even if it would not be as dense as Chen Heng's, with the support of the God's blood, she would be able to raise her aptitude to a powerful level, making her comparable to some geniuses.
There was no reason for her to be so weak and need an Apprentice Life Knight to protect her.
This did not make sense.
Just then, the aura that Guromary gave Chen Heng was that of an ordinary person, and there was nothing special about her.
Unless Guromary did not know about her own situation, nor did she know that the God's blood in her body had awakened.
However, this was not very likely.
The changes brought about by the awakening of the God's blood were very great, and even an ordinary person would be able to sense it, let alone a Princess like Guromary.
In that case, could it be that the God's blood in her body had not completely awakened and was still hiding?
This seemed very likely.
This could explain why Guromary did not know about this, and it could also explain what those people were doing.
Otherwise, why would there be people eyeing Guromary for no reason?
Standing there, various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind before he turned and silently left.
After a while, he came to a dungeon.
Within the dungeon, there were quite a number of criminals imprisoned within the territory.
Chen Heng would often come here to take some criminals away for his own experiments or to directly kill them for their life essence energy.
During this period of time, the two of them had also been imprisoned here.
"What's the situation like?"
Walking to the entrance of the dungeon, Hedoshiri was still standing there, seeming to be guarding this place.
This was for insurance.
If it were ordinary criminals, it would be fine, and some ordinary guards would be enough.
However, there were two extraordinary people here. Not only was there a Cleric, but there was also a 2-Ring Knight.
For people like them, once they flared up, the destructive power they could cause would be extremely great.
As such, as a precaution, Hedoshiri had been guarding this place ever since that day in case anything unexpected happened.
Now, Chen Heng had come here.
"They're still inside, and it seems like there are no problems …"
Looking at Chen Heng walking over, Hedoshiri had a respectful look on his face as he hurriedly bowed, "I've already sent everyone else away; it's just the two of them here."
He was incredibly confident in his mission.
During this period of time, in order to prevent anything unexpected from happening, he had not only isolated everyone else, but he had also done everything himself, not giving the other party any opportunities.
Under such circumstances, no matter what abilities the other party had, they would not be able to use them.
This would definitely prevent most accidents from happening.
Chen Heng did not say much in response to Hedoshiri's confidence and only nodded before walking forwards.
After walking into the dungeon, a damp and cold feeling immediately appeared, making him feel uncomfortable.
Compared to the outside world, the Yin Qi here was much denser, making people feel uncomfortable.
However, Chen Heng did not feel too surprised and continued to look around.
Under his gaze, two lifeforms sat there in the distance, separated from each other.
After thinking for a moment, he walked to the side.
"It's … you …"
Within the dungeon, the tall figure heard the footsteps and immediately stood up.
Looking at Chen Heng and Hedoshiri, his expression greatly changed, and even his voice became much weaker.
It seemed that the scene of Chen Heng attacking them had left a deep shadow in his heart. Even now, he could not get rid of it, and his body was subconsciously reacting.
"Tell me where you came from."
Standing outside the room, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he lightly glanced at Hedoshiri and spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Hedoshiri did not say anything, looking like he did not want to pay any attention.
He indeed feared Chen Heng, but this did not mean that he would directly surrender.
Otherwise, Chen Heng would not have to personally come.
It was just that he did not want to say it. However, a formless energy appeared, covering the depths of his heart.
A formless energy appeared, following which his body started to move.
"I am Ouro's Knight …"
In the end, he opened his mouth and spoke.
As he spoke, a look of shock appeared on his face.
"What did you do to me?"
He immediately stood up and looked at Chen Heng, a look of shock on his face. It was as if he had never thought that such a thing would happen.
He had not expected this at all.
Before this, he had already thought about what kind of treatment he would be subjected to.
Was it the torture that existed in many people's imagination, coercion and bribery, or something else?
However, this person had not even done anything, and his body had spoken.
Just what was this …
"From Ouro?"
Chen Heng muttered to himself.
The Ouro Empire. Chen Heng was quite familiar with this name.
In the very beginning, the original body of this body had to flee because the Oro Empire had invaded the Markedo Kingdom, forcing the original body to flee. That was why he had come here.
He had never thought that after coming to the Kalor Kingdom, he would once again encounter a Knight from the Ouro Empire.
"Who is behind you?"
Standing on the spot, he opened his mouth again and asked directly.
As he spoke, his spirit power swept out and circled around the other person's body, silently affecting him.
Standing in the prison, it could be seen that the young Knight was struggling and did not want to speak.
However, in the end, his body did not listen to him, and he said, "I don't know …"
"You don't know?"
By the side, Hedoshiri frowned and looked at the young Knight with a somewhat unfriendly expression, "You don't even know who you're working for?"
"I indeed don't know …"
Rakul's expression was somewhat dark as he spoke.
After saying the first sentence, he seemed to have given up on resisting and directly said, "When I left the Oro Empire in the beginning, I wanted to go to other places to find opportunities and see if I could gain more power …"
"That group of people suddenly came to me and provided me with these things, allowing me to successfully break through my limit and reach this level …"
He gave up on resisting and directly spoke.
As he spoke, Chen Heng and Hedoshiri understood the other person's situation.
The young Knight was indeed from the Ouro Empire.
Back then, he was like Hedoshiri and was also a true Knight.
In order to seek further opportunities, as well as to obtain wealth and power, he left the Oro Empire and wandered around the world.
It was during this process that he had been found by those people.
They were a group of people wearing black robes and were most likely priests of a certain church.
They had found Rakul and wanted him to serve them, and the reward was that they could give him more power.
Rakul had agreed and obtained some things and legacies, allowing him to reach his current level and become a 2-Ring Knight.
However, even so, he did not know which church the black-robed people were from.
"I'm just a mercenary; as long as there are enough benefits, I won't care too much …"
Looking at Hedoshiri, Rakul's expression was quite unsightly as he said, "You should ask that old fellow about the specifics.
At the very least, he definitely knows more than I do. "
"What you say makes sense."
Standing there and listening to Rakul, Chen Heng nodded, "Are you willing to surrender?"
"I …"
Rakul opened his mouth, wanting to refuse.
A wave of power surged again, suddenly rising in this place, turning into a wave of real killing intent.
A suffocating fear emerged, flashing in his heart and filling it.
He would die …
Standing on the spot, Rakul felt that his mind was blank.
An instinctive sense of terror dominated his mind.
If he did not agree, he would really die.
This thought flashed through his mind, and his face instantly became pale as he said, "I … surrender …"
"Take him away."
The words were spoken softly, but at this moment, they sounded so beautiful to Lamu.
As the voice faded, the terrifying pressure that filled the surroundings like the air also gradually disappeared, completely disappearing.
Everything returned to normal, and it did not seem any different from before.
"I survived …"
Standing on the spot, Rakul panted heavily. At this moment, he was incomparably thankful.
But while he rejoiced, he also felt an indescribable sense of shame.
In the face of death, he had still submitted.
Even though the pressure that Chen Heng had released had targeted his soul, it was not absolute.
If he really did not fear death and his heart was resolute, no matter how powerful Chen Heng's Spirit Force was, it would be useless.
It was because he still feared death and was not resolute that he had surrendered so easily.
"I'm a mercenary, not a Knight who swears loyalty to them. As long as I do my duty, even if I surrender, they can't blame me …"
Standing there, he thought back to many years ago and comforted himself.
A faint light flashed.
Looking at Rakul, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he waved his hand.
A bit of divine power surged into Rakul's body in front of him.
Immediately, just like Hedoshiri and the others, Rakul's body was filled with a warm and comfortable feeling, and his appearance became completely different.
The deadly pressure caused by the death just now disappeared in an instant, and everything returned to normal.
"This power …"
Standing there, Rakul's eyes widened as he sensed the changes in his body.
Needless to say, the feeling of becoming stronger at all times was truly too comfortable, and it caused him to be unable to stop, causing him to feel a wave of intoxication.
This was even more so for someone like Rakul, who was obsessed with power.
All of a sudden, the negative emotions he felt from surrendering completely disappeared and were replaced by some excitement.
Before, he had joined those black-robed people for power and did not have much loyalty.
Since that was the case, for the sake of power, what was wrong with joining Chen Heng again?
After a while, the light on his body completely disappeared, completely fusing into his body.
After everything was over, his life level rose again. Even though he didn't reach the level of a three-ring Soul Master, he was much stronger than before. He had definitely risen to another level.
If he went to fight with Hedoshiri again, he would be able to easily suppress him.
Thinking of this, he stood where he was and could not help but look at Hedoshiri in front of him, seemingly eager to give it a try.
"This is your reward in advance," Chen Heng said.
His voice once again sounded out, sounding incredibly calm and suffocating.
"This power is both a reward and a way to monitor you."
Standing there, he looked at Rakul and said calmly, "If I want to, you can immediately die."
As soon as he finished speaking, a faintly discernible feeling appeared on Lakur's body, as if his entire body was about to split open.
Sensing this feeling, Rakul's expression slightly changed and he knelt down, respectfully bowing to Chen Heng, "I am willing to pledge loyalty to you and become your Knight. I will fight for you and will never betray you.
"Let's hope so."
Hearing his words, Chen Heng's expression was calm and did not react much. He only nodded and walked to the side.
Beside him, Hedoshiri walked up and opened the door to the prison, letting him out.
Following this, the two Knights walked to Chen Heng's side and walked with him.
However, at that moment, Chen Heng frowned.
This was because that figure had long since lost all signs of life.
"Dead?"
He looked at the dungeon in front of him and stopped in his tracks.
Within the prison, that elder's body lay there. His expression was calm, but it was a bit pale.
It seemed that he had died long ago.
"Damn it."
Hedoshiri's expression became unsightly.
There was no doubt that he was entirely to blame for what had happened.
"It's fine."
Chen Heng shook his head and did not blame him.
This was something that could not be helped.
If a First Ring Priest wanted to die, it would be very difficult for Hedoshiri to stop him.
Compared to a knight like Rakul, this elder's loyalty was much higher.
Perhaps he had long since expected this situation, so he had killed himself to prevent himself from revealing any important information.
However, this did not matter.
