In a normal world, life and death were things that could not be reversed.
After a person died, they would be cut off from this world and would not have to worry about anything.
Dead people kept their mouths shut.
However, this was not the case in this world.
This world had gods and all sorts of inconceivable powers.
It was said that many powerful legendary figures had the power to summon souls back and even directly control other people's souls.
Therefore, in this world, to a certain extent, the death of a person was not a guarantee.
This was the same for Chen Heng.
Although he could not pull the soul of the dead back and judge it, it was not a problem for him to obtain some information from the corpse in front of him.
A person's corpse contained a large amount of information from when they were alive, including some things that Chen Heng wanted to know.
"What a unique divine power aura …"
Chen Heng casually stretched out his hand and sensed it, and he frowned.
He could sense a unique divine power ripple from the elder's corpse.
Compared to ordinary divine power, this divine power was even quieter and had a trace of deathly stillness to it.
However, he did not know which god this divine power belonged to.
Chen Heng memorized this divine power's characteristics and prepared to slowly investigate it in the future.
Of course, it was possible that Guromary knew some things about the factions behind these people.
After all, she was the key person here and was the core of these people who were desperately trying to kill her.
Given how smart she was, it was normal for her to be able to guess some things from these details.
Chen Heng thought to himself as he brought Hedoshiri and the other two with him and left this place.
In the next few days, everything was quite peaceful.
After Guromary and Orimo arrived, they stayed in the manor that Chen Heng had arranged for them. It seemed that they were not in a hurry to pay their respects.
Within Hatim's territory, there was not much change because of Guromary's arrival.
There was not even any news from Kachi.
This made Chen Heng feel quite surprised.
He originally thought that after Guromary came to his place, someone from Kachi would react.
However, it seemed that they had not.
This was a very unique thing.
Chen Heng thought to himself.
However, apart from Guromary, there were still some changes.
The biggest change was that Chen Heng now had another Two-Ring Knight.
During this period of time, Chen Heng had sent Rakul out and had him form his own guards around the city.
The combat power of a two-ring knight was quite obvious.
At the very least, there were very few people in the Kalo Kingdom who possessed such great power.
Even among the people who were chasing after Guromary, there were not many who possessed such strength.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have to restrain themselves when doing things.
Wasn't it good to gather three or more 2-Ring experts to kill Chen Heng as well?
At the very least, the strength that Chen Heng had revealed to the outside world was only that of a 2-Ring Warlock.
Relatively speaking, it was still very easy to deal with.
That group of people did not directly attack Chen Heng, which meant that their strength was limited and that they could not do whatever they wanted.
Rakul's arrival brought some changes to Hatim's territory.
Although he didn't leave a good impression on Hedoshiri and Hedoshiri, it had to be said that he was quite diligent in his work.
Thanks to his efforts, the number of orcs wandering around had decreased by a lot during this period of time.
Hatim's territory expanded once more.
This was quite good.
After remaining silent for half a month, Guromary could not hold it in anymore and took the initiative to visit Chen Heng.
Within a quiet courtyard, there were all sorts of beautiful flowers and plants, making it look quite unique.
It was here that Guromary and Chen Heng once again met.
"I wonder how Your Highness Guromary is feeling after not seeing you for half a month?"
Chen Heng sat down and poured himself a glass of fruit juice as he looked at Guromary and spoke softly.
"Not bad."
Guromary smiled before nodding and saying, "Thank you for taking care of us.
I've been living very comfortably here and haven't encountered many problems.
The only problem is that this place is not as lively as Kachi, so it's a bit boring. "
"That's normal."
Chen Heng nodded, not feeling too surprised, "After all, Hatim's territory is a new territory, and there are not many nobles here. I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for Your Highness Guromary to find friends of equal status here.
"This is a testament to your talent, Viscount Ecktor."
Guromary smiled, then said with a sigh, "In just a few years, you've developed a wasteland into what it is now."
"I have to say, this is a small miracle."
"Perhaps."
Chen Heng smiled as he said, "Different things are different in the hands of different people.
"Perhaps in the hands of others, this area was developed. It's very difficult to take root here."
However, for me, it is very easy.
After all, not everyone can be like you, Viscount Ecktor, to have such great power and powerful followers … "
Thinking of Chen Heng's subordinates, Hedoshiri and Ramu, Guromary could not help but sigh.
This was indeed a unique condition.
In the Karo Kingdom, a 2-ring Knight was already considered a trump card that only the Kingdom and some top families could possess.
Not only was Chen Heng above this level, but he also had Hedoshiri, a loyal 2-Ring Knight.
Now, after recruiting Knight Rakul, he now had two 2-Ring Knights.
Adding on Chen Heng's own power, this was enough to shake the entire Kalo Kingdom.
Even Kalo's royal family's power could not compare to Chen Heng's.
As Guromary thought of this, she could not help but sigh in her heart.
In the past, she had also thought of using herself to win over some powerful followers.
But in the end, the effect was very weak.
Those powerful followers wouldn't follow an ordinary person.
Not to mention an ordinary woman.
Although she was of noble status, in the eyes of those people, she didn't have the right to inherit the Karo Kingdom, and she wasn't powerful herself. Naturally, she wasn't worth following.
As such, after so many years, she only had Olimo as her follower.
On the other hand, Chen Heng had two Knights who were willing to follow him from the very beginning, and they had followed him all the way to the Karo Kingdom.
By now, if Chen Heng revealed his power and identity, there would most likely be even more people who wanted to follow him.
Many Knights who had not been successful in their lives would follow by Chen Heng's side, hoping to achieve great things and obtain territory and wealth.
Thinking to there, she could not help but sigh, feeling even more complicated.
"Let's get to the main topic."
Sitting on his seat, looking at Guromary in front of him, Chen Heng smiled as he spoke.
Hearing his words, Guromary nodded and her expression became much more serious.
"Regarding those people chasing after you, Your Highness Guromary, do you have any information?"
Chen Heng asked as he looked at Guromary.
He first asked about those people's identities.
In the current situation, Guromary most likely knew the answer to this question.
However, facing Chen Heng's gaze, Guromary shook her head, "I'm not sure."
A look of surprise appeared on Chen Heng's face.
"Even though this sounds a bit surprising, it's the truth."
In front of him, Guromary shook her head and gave a bitter smile, "I've been targeted for a long time, and in order to avoid those people, I had to run to Viscount Eckdo.
However, I still don't know anything about those people's identities.
"This is probably a very absurd thing to do."
However, that's the truth. "
A self-mocking look appeared on her face as she looked at Chen Heng and said, "However, I have some guesses as to who these people are."
I'm sure Viscount Eckdo feels the same. "
"Indeed, I have some guesses."
Hearing Guromary's words, Chen Heng smiled and did not deny it, "It's just that I don't know if Your Highness's guesses are the same."
"Let's see."
Guromary also smiled and said a name.
"The Dusk Church …"
"As expected."
Hearing this name, Chen Heng's expression was calm as a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes, "Is it them?"
"I'm not sure, but they might be the most likely."
Guromary nodded before saying, "At the very least, apart from them, no one else would be interested in someone like me."
She spoke softly, her voice echoing everywhere.
Chen Heng nodded, expressing his agreement.
The so-called Dusk Church was a group of people who worshipped the God of Dusk.
However, compared to other Orders, this group of people was notorious.
They loved blood sacrifices to please the God of Dusk.
The targets of their blood sacrifice were not ordinary slaves and commoners, but the high and mighty nobles and Extraordinaires.
It was because of this that they were so infamous, and they were considered evil cults everywhere.
A few months ago, Chen Heng had received a letter from his uncle Xillius, which recorded the matter of the Dusk Church appearing at the border of the Kalor Kingdom.
Now, it seemed that the people behind Guromary were most likely members of the Dusk Church.
From what the Dusk Church had done in the past, there was no need to ask why they had their eyes on Guromary.
After all, no matter what, Guromary was the Princess of the Kalor Kingdom.
This status was incredibly prestigious, and it was one of the groups that the Dusk Church liked the most.
Of course, for the Dusk Church to madly chase after them, just this status alone was not enough.
"The reason why the Dusk Church likes to use nobles and Life Knights as blood sacrifices is because these people's bodies often contain transcendent blood."
In front of him, Guromary's voice once again sounded out. This time, it sounded quite calm, like the singing of a bard, and it was incredibly clear and enchanting.
"Transcendent blood contains even more power than ordinary people, so the God of Dusk likes it …"
She said softly.
So-called transcendent blood was actually the blood of powerful existences.
So-called nobles often had powerful bloodlines, just like Chen Heng.
Just like Chen Heng's predecessor, even though he looked quite ordinary, he had inherited the Last Flame God's bloodline and was one of the divine descendants' families.
In this world, most other nobles were like this, and their ancestors often had powerful bloodlines.
This was the source of their power, and it was also one of the reasons why they were called nobles.
It was because of this that the Dusk Church liked them so much.
As for Life Knights, Priests, Mages, and other transcendent beings, they were originally transcendent beings and were the ancestors of many families. As such, there was no need to even mention the power contained in their bloodlines.
"Viscount Eckart, aren't you curious?"
In front of him, Guromary's voice continued to sound out, "Why are they chasing after me and wanting to capture me?"
She spoke softly, her voice echoing in this place, sounding strangely charming.
However, Chen Heng's expression was very calm. At this moment, he just sat there quietly, looking at Guromary in front of him without saying anything.
Under his watchful gaze, Guromary also made her move.
By the side, she took out a small knife and made a cut on her skin.
Crimson blood flowed out and dripped onto the table in front of her.
A bloody aura spread out, and Chen Heng sensed it.
It was just that compared to the smell of ordinary blood, this smell was quite unique.
Chen Heng could sense that the stench of blood was much fainter, and it also had a fragrant smell.
Sensing this, Chen Heng lowered his head and looked in front of him.
On the table, within the crimson blood, there was a faint golden color. It was an indescribable color.
The color was quite similar to when Chen Heng's god blood had gone through changes.
"The god blood within your body has also awakened."
Sitting upright, Chen Heng looked at Guromary in front of him without the slightest hint of surprise on his face. He calmly looked at her and said.
Regarding this matter, he wasn't too surprised. He had already guessed it earlier.
"You've already guessed it?"
Seeing Chen Heng's reaction, Guromary felt quite surprised and felt quite surprised.
"I roughly guessed it."
Chen Heng nodded, his expression still calm, "That's why the Dusk Church's people want to capture you so badly."
"That's right."
Guromary let out a bitter laugh, "A Divine Descendant who has awakened the Divine Blood but has no power to protect himself, this is simply the best prey."
"It's a pity …"
"What about His Majesty Kalimar?"
Chen Heng raised his head and looked at Guromary as he asked, "Your god blood has awakened. If His Majesty Kalimar knew about this, he would most likely do his best to protect you."
After all, this was the Kalor Kingdom, and Guromary was the Queen of the Kalor Kingdom, the daughter of the King.
No matter what, Kalimar would most likely act to protect his daughter.
After all, this was his daughter, and in terms of benefits, she was a member of his family who had awakened his god blood.
No matter what, he should protect her.
"Father …"
At the mention of Calimir, Guromary sighed. Her face looked a little bitter. "This is the second point I wanted to make …"
"I suspect that my father has already been controlled by someone …"
"His Majesty Kalimar has been controlled by someone?"
Hearing this, Chen Heng felt quite surprised; this was quite unexpected.
Even though he had some guesses about this, he had never thought that the situation would be like this.
"Viscount Eckart, you should have heard about my father's situation …"
Guromary continued, telling the story of what had happened during this period of time. "A few months ago, something happened to my father."
He seemed to be … affected by some sort of power and controlled, causing him to do many uncontrollable things … "
Speaking to there, Guromary gave a bitter smile as she said, "In the past, my father was quite gentle, whether it was to me or to others.
"However, a few months ago, he seemed to have become a completely different person and became quite terrifying.
"In the past few months, quite a few people have been killed by him because they angered him."
"As for those who were killed, they disappeared without a trace."
Speaking to there, she felt a sense of helplessness, "I went to look for those people's corpses, but in the end, I did not find anything.
"Those who were killed, their corpses eventually disappeared, evaporated into thin air."
"And after investigating, I discovered that all the people who died had a common characteristic."
"They're either experts or people like me, people with even denser bloodlines …"
"The Dusk Church?"
Chen Heng frowned and raised his head as he said this name.
"It's very likely."
Guromary sighed and nodded, "Only they would be so infatuated with bloodlines.
"Perhaps this time around, they were secretly influencing and controlling my father, causing all these things to happen."
"If that's really the case, then things will be quite troublesome …"
Chen Heng nodded as he spoke.
Indeed, it would be quite troublesome.
