Standing there, Chen Heng watched as Guromary's figure disappeared in front of him.
Under his gaze, she walked into the room in front of her, casually found a seat inside, and began to listen attentively to the lesson.
Within the classroom, the surrounding Apprentices looked at Guromary curiously, and some of them lowered their heads, feeling inferior and blushing.
Facing these people, Guromary had a slight smile on her face and did not have the arrogance and complacency that a Princess should have, making others feel good about her.
This was especially so for the people in the classroom.
On the high platform of the classroom, the teacher in charge of the lecture looked at Guromary, but did not say anything. He stood there meticulously and began to teach.
All of the teachers here were personally invited by Chen Heng.
Many years ago, Chen Heng had established a connection with the Mage City's Ai Mu through Ali and Maili.
Over the years, through these two Mages, Chen Heng had sent many things into Ai Mu's Mage City.
At the start, he had sent some magic items that he had obtained back then.
Later on, he had sent his own creations.
Apart from being a Knight, Chen Heng had also been a skilled Sorcerer.
Creating some magic items was not much to him.
Just like that, time gradually passed. Chen Heng's reputation in the Mage City became greater and greater, and he became more and more wealthy.
Through his connections, he had invited some Mages who were not very successful to come to his territory to teach.
It was very difficult for others to accurately find those with sufficient qualifications from a wide range of people.
However, this was not the case for Chen Heng, and it was not too difficult.
After all, he already had a lot of experience in this area.
As such, soon, a group of people had gathered in his territory, and there were even true Mages among them.
Even though they were just weak Apprentices, it was already quite good.
After a while, it was possible that true Mages would appear.
Of course, this was the same for the selection of Life Knights.
Moreover, with Hedoshiri and Ramu, it would be much more convenient.
Right now, apart from Hedoshiri and Ramu, Chen Heng also had many Knight Candidates.
In fact, some of them were very close to becoming Apprentices.
This was the result of his many years of hard work.
As for what was shown to outsiders, it was just the tip of the iceberg.
Standing there, Chen Heng looked ahead at Guromary, who was earnestly teaching. Following this, he turned and left this region.
After leaving this region, Chen Heng returned to his laboratory and busied himself.
At this moment, in a distant corner, a conversation was starting.
"We've lost contact with Rakul …"
In a dark and gloomy corner, a voice rang out. It sounded somewhat cold and had an indescribable meaning to it.
"I understand."
In the room, the tall middle-aged man nodded. His dignified face did not change at all. He looked very calm. "So what?"
"So what?"
The figure hidden in the darkness sneered. He raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He said, "You should know the hidden danger in this matter."
"A two-circle knight and a one-circle priest disappeared just like that. Maybe they've already been killed."
"Your subordinate, Viscount Ector, is much more powerful than we thought."
"Didn't we already know about this?"
The middle-aged man sat in front of a chair and casually poured himself a cup of wine as he said, "If that's all, it won't affect much.
In actuality, if it wasn't for you hesitating, would things have reached this stage? "
He stood up and looked at the figure in front of him.
Within the hazy light, the middle-aged man's appearance was revealed. It was Kalo Kingdom's King, Kalimu.
It was just that compared to before, Kalimu's appearance had changed a bit, and even his aura had greatly changed.
His eyes looked even deeper, as if there was a boundless darkness hidden within, causing one's heart to palpitate.
"Kamo, you seem to have forgotten our agreement …"
In the darkness, the figure sneered. He looked at Kalimu and coldly said, "According to our agreement, we will help you obtain the king's body to recover your power. In return, you will help us complete the sacred sacrifice as much as possible."
"If you've forgotten, I'm sure someone will be willing to let you remember."
He coldly looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said.
"Of course, of course."
Hearing this, the man who looked like Kalimu but was actually Kamo laughed and said casually, "Of course I haven't forgotten our agreement.
So all this time, haven't I been cooperating with you?
"Or did I do something wrong?"
"You have indeed been cooperating with us."
Standing there, the figure in the darkness had a cold expression as he said calmly, "But please tell me, what's going on with Guromary?
You clearly know how important she is to us, so why did you wait so long to tell us? "
As he spoke, his voice became colder and colder.
In the same place, Kamal was silent for a moment, then he smiled, "I have no choice …"
"After all, compared to all of you, I've learned of this news quite late."
"Also, didn't I tell you earlier? It's just that you're too weak. "
He said casually.
"What's important now is not to pursue the matter, but to deal with it."
He said calmly, "Even though Guromary doesn't know about our situation, with her intelligence, she should have guessed something.
"This is a hidden danger."
"How are you going to deal with it?"
"Hold the sacrifice ahead of time."
In the darkness, the figure hidden in the shadows said, "There are indeed some forces within the Church, but it's not safe.
"To be safe, we'll hold a sacrifice to awaken the divine weapon left by the great Lord of Dusk and kill Viscount Ekdo.
"Using the divine weapon of Dusk to kill a Viscount …"
Kamo's hands trembled as he looked at the figure, "Are you sure you're not crazy?"
"If we do this, we'll definitely attract people from other Churches …"
"Aren't you afraid of sending yourself to the Abyss?"
"It doesn't matter."
The figure in the shadows laughed and did not seem to care about Kamo's words, "You'll soon find out that those Churches won't have time to care about us.
Moreover, even if they come, what can they do? "
Standing in the same place, he sneered and said, "As long as we can capture Ekdo and Guromary and use them as a blood sacrifice, the Dusk Divine Artifact will be able to recover to a certain extent, or even completely."
"When that time comes, everything will naturally not be a problem …"
He looked at Kamo in front of him and said.
Hearing this, Kamo could not help but fall silent.
He felt that this person was taking things for granted.
Would things really go so smoothly?
This thought flashed in Kamo's mind, but he did not say anything. He just shrugged and said, "How many people do we need?"
"At least 100 nobles or professionals with sufficiently dense bloodlines …"
The faint voice in front of him replied.
Kamo frowned and said, "This number is a bit too much …"
Before this, in order to gather the number of people required by the Dusk Church, he had already found excuses to kill many people.
However, if he continued to kill, even he would be in great danger in the end.
After all, even though he was the King of the Karo Kingdom in name, he could not do whatever he wanted.
There were many nobles with real power in the kingdom, and even though they could not compare to him individually, if they worked together, they could even depose him and replace him with a new person.
As such, in the past, in order to avoid provoking this group of people, Kamo had always targeted the nobles who were weak and did not have real power.
Even so, this had caused a lot of criticism, and Kamo's reputation, which had been built up over the years, had been ruined.
If there were another 100 people this time …
Sitting there, she could not help but frown. At this moment, she had a bad feeling.
In front of her, the figure seemed to have seen through her thoughts and spoke again.
"Don't worry too much …"
He said calmly, "As long as you can gather enough power for the blood sacrifice, no one in the entire Karo Kingdom can fight against you.
Anyone who dares to disobey will die in the end … "
He said indifferently, and as his voice fell, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a little.
Sitting in his seat, hearing these words, Kamo frowned but still nodded in the end.
At this moment, he did not seem to have any other choice.
After all, if he was not willing to do this, the person in front of him would act.
In the end, the crime would still fall on his head.
As such, it was better for him to do it himself.
That way, he would be able to obtain some benefits and prepare for the future.
As he thought about this, he sighed and got up, walking towards the outside world.
Time gradually passed.
Soon, more than three months had passed without anyone noticing.
In the span of three months, the changes in this area were very, very big.
The most obvious change was in Guromary's body.
The talent changes brought about by the awakening of the divine blood were indeed massive.
From when she had started cultivating until now, it had only been three months, and she had caught up to some of the mages who had been cultivating for two or three years.
From the looks of it, it would only take a few more months for her to truly become a professional and become an apprentice mage.
To a certain extent, this kind of progress could be considered very shocking.
At the very least, all of the teachers that Chen Heng had invited to teach in Hatim's territory were completely dumbfounded by Guromary's performance.
To them, this sort of performance was quite terrifying, and it was definitely top-tier talent.
Of course, to Chen Heng, it was only so-so and could only barely be seen.
After all, when he had started cultivating, his speed had been even faster than this.
"There's news from Kachi …"
On that day, when Guromary came to visit, Chen Heng told her the latest news, "Your father massacred many ancient families in Kachi and killed all of their clansmen.
"And among these people, there are even quite a few lords with real authority over their own territories."
"So it's finally come to this …"
Standing there, hearing this news, Guromary was stunned for a moment before sighing and saying, "He had already shown signs of this a long time ago, but who would have thought that it would really …"
"Ever since that time, he seemed to have become a completely different person, making me feel like he's a stranger and a bit terrifying …"
Standing there, she sighed and said, "However, if I'm not mistaken, the culprit behind all of this should be the Dusk Church …
"If I'm not wrong, they might be doing something soon …"
"That's what I think as well."
Chen Heng nodded, agreeing with Guromary's thoughts, "It's just that I don't know how they'll do it …"
Then, he turned around and looked in a certain direction in the distance.
At this moment, his line of sight seemed to pass through the layers of isolation, looking at a certain corner in the distance, and seeing everything clearly.
Time continued to pass.
Chen Heng and Guromary did not have to wait for too long.
Not long after, the other party made his move.
A letter from Kachi quickly arrived at Chen Heng's hands from the Kachi Palace.
The letter was sent by none other than Kalimu.
In the letter, Calim used the name of his father and the King to reprimand Guromary for leaving without permission and going to Chen Heng's territory.
Finally, in the letter, he ordered Chen Heng to use his status as Viscount Hatim to personally escort Guromary back to Kachi and have an audience with him.
On the surface, this seemed quite normal, but in actuality, it was not so.
"Looks like they're already prepared."
Putting down the letter, Chen Heng shook his head and looked at Guromary as he spoke.
"That's right …"
Guromary sighed softly. At this time, she had also understood. "Letting Mr. Eckart enter Kachi with me may seem normal, but in reality, they are planning to make a move against us."
I just don't know how they'll do it.
Of course, that's not that important. "
Following this, she turned and looked at Chen Heng as she asked seriously, "The problem is that Mr. Eckart, you're not confident."
At the end of the day, all confrontations were a contest of strength.
This was the same for this confrontation.
If Chen Heng had enough strength, not only would nothing happen if they went to Kachi, but they could even use this opportunity to kill all of them in one fell swoop.
In fact, they could even expose Calim and reveal the truth to the public.
However, if they did not have enough strength, they would naturally have to stay as far away as possible.
"This is something that cannot be avoided in the first place."
Chen Heng shook his head and said calmly, "Unless I'm willing to abandon my territory and take you away, whether I go or not is the same.
Moreover, I don't want to avoid it. "
He spoke softly, his tone incredibly calm.
Abandoning his territory and leaving was not an option that Chen Heng had considered.
To Chen Heng, Hatim's territory was a base in the World of Gods, and it was where his future faith lay.
He had already spent a lot of effort in this region, and if it was not necessary, he did not want to leave.
If there was no other way, then so be it. However, if it was only to this extent, it did not matter.
"Perfect, I also want to take a look …"
Standing there, Chen Heng silently raised his head and looked ahead as a light flashed in his eyes, "Just what level are the gods of this world at …"
With his current strength, he definitely could not compare to a true god's.
However, there were no true gods in this world for a long time.
At most, they were just a portion of the power left behind by the gods.
If it was only to this extent, Chen Heng was quite confident.
As such, he made his decision.
"Are we going to leave now?"
Within the quiet courtyard, hearing Chen Heng's words, Guromary could not help but feel quite surprised, a look of hesitation on her face, "Isn't it a bit early?"
It had only been three or so months since she had come to Chen Heng's territory.
Although she had made great progress in the past three months, there was still a long way to go before she could become a true professional.
In other words, she had only just come into contact with the Weave, and at most, her mental energy was a bit stronger than ordinary people's.
For her, returning to Kachi was undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to do.
"We don't have much time left," Chen Heng said calmly.
"Within Kachi, the people controlling His Highness Kalimu are currently massacring nobles. Your Highness Guromary, you should know why this is happening, right?
"Behind the massacre is the imminent occurrence of a large-scale blood sacrifice."
"Every day we delay means the death of one more person, and the strength of the Dusk Order increases as well."
"And Your Highness Guromary, how long will it take for you to become strong enough?"
Chen Heng asked calmly, getting to the crux of the matter.
Guromary wanted to wait until she had the power to protect herself before going to Kachi; there was nothing wrong with this idea.
However, she did not have that much time.
