"It's very peaceful."
Walking on the road, looking at the surrounding scenery, the young man sighed in his heart.
The small town in front of me was very calm. Although there were fewer pedestrians around than before, most of them walked on the street with calm faces, without any sense of panic.
Although the surrounding markets are no longer as lively as before, there are also specialized shops in them.
This shows that in this small town, the basic order has been formed.
In stark contrast to everything else seen along the way.
"It's very peaceful."
Beside the young man, the middle-aged man sighed: "It's a lucky place to be able to remain calm at this time."
"It's not lucky."
Ahead, the guard in charge of leading the way retorted: "It's just that someone is protecting this town."
"oh?"
Surprised expressions appeared on the faces of the two young people.
Later, from the mouth of the guards, they learned what had happened in this town before.
Similar things have happened in this small town before.
The disaster victims from outside entered the town, internal conflicts broke out together with the external crisis, resulting in the death of a large number of victims.
Only at critical moments, someone stepped forward.
That person was none other than Ed Domo, a local hermit.
At the moment when the disaster victims from the outside world were violated, he stepped forward, dispelled the evil forces headed by the mayor, protected the victims, and then donated his own food selflessly to relieve the victims.
Listening to the deeds of this Mr. Ed, the two young people couldn't help but be in awe.
Along the way, they have seen many sinister stories in other places.
In most places, villains persecute ordinary people, but there are very few things like what happened in this small town.
Moreover, the other side not only stepped forward to protect the refugees, but also selflessly donated their own food and property, so that many local refugees can continue to survive.
This kind of spirit is really moving.
So, they couldn't help becoming interested in this so-called Mr. Ed, and asked some more questions.
After knowing each other's past deeds, they admired them even more.
"Adopt those abandoned children so that orphans can survive, and selflessly help those displaced people so that they can have a place to settle down."
The young man was full of admiration: "This Mr. Ed is really a good man."
"Not only is he a good guy, but he's capable."
On the side, the middle-aged man looked around and said thoughtfully.
Walking on the road, they noticed that refugees came from time to time around and received food in front of fixed shops.
These are said to be means of control, where each disaster victim can receive a fixed ration.
But as a price, they have to be driven to do all kinds of work.
However, for those refugees who have lost their land and have only their last breath left, having a bite of food is already considered happiness.
Although the surrounding streets still have some mottled traces, they are already very tidy and the surrounding order is well maintained.
Not to mention it is now when the evil disaster broke out, even before the evil disaster broke out, they rarely saw such an orderly scene in those big cities.
To be able to maintain such a situation under the current circumstances, I have to say that this Mr. Ed is very capable, far better than the two of them.
In the past, they also helped some towns and people in those places.
They will help the weak, help the refugees against the brutal, protect the weak.
But after that, they get stuck in a situation where they don't know what to do.
In many cases, they will be shocked to find that sometimes after they help the weak to overthrow the rule of the tyrannical, the situation of the ordinary disaster victims has not improved, and even the situation of people in many places has changed after their intervention. It got worse.
The occurrence of this incident once puzzled them in every possible way.
Obviously the evil oppressors and brutal people have been removed, and the mountain that weighs on the victims has been removed, so why is the life of the victims not getting better, and even getting worse
In many places, after they removed the brutal people who oppressed the people before, the new people who came to power changed from the previous normal and became even more brutal than everyone in the past.
Obviously before, they were also innocent victims of persecution, and they clearly understood the pain and helplessness of the victims. Why did they become more excessive than the nobles in the past after they took power
This question often lingers in the hearts of the two of them, making them discouraged.
But in this place, they have never seen this problem.
In the small town in front of me, the brutal ruler in the past was overthrown, but the surrounding order has not been destroyed, and everything has recovered well.
This can't help but make the two young people feel a little surprised, and they can't help but feel a little curious about the Mr. Ai De who has led all this.
So they walked forward, led by the guards in front of them, and prepared to meet that Mr. Ed.
Soon, they walked into the town and came to a manor.
This was Chen Heng's previous residence. After Chen Heng seized power in this town, it became his office.
Walking into it, a strong medicinal smell came.
The young man looked around and found that there were some wounded lying around.
Many people were lying on the ground, apparently with serious injuries.
Some injuries can be seen at a glance as being caused by monsters.
Inside the manor, a young man is busy inside.
The young man looked very young, only in his early twenties, wearing an ordinary black robe, handsome and charming, but his face looked a little pale.
When the two young men walked into the manor, the young man was half kneeling on the ground, healing a child.
"alright."
After careful examination, Chen Heng put down the little girl's hand, looked at her and spoke softly, his voice sounded very gentle: "It's just some small problems, not a big deal."
"Remember to be careful afterwards, don't eat indiscriminately."
He patted the little girl's head and instructed earnestly.
The little girl nodded seriously, and walked out under the leadership of her parents.
Then came the next person.
There are some injured people who have been seen around, all of them stared at Chen Heng with admiration and gratitude, expressing their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.
Looking at this scene, the two young people couldn't help but looked aside and began to ask.
Informed by people on the side, they knew that the young man in front was the local Mr. Ed.
After the monster disaster, among the refugees everywhere, many people were sick, and many people were injured in the previous chaos and the battle with the monsters.
In order to better accommodate and help these people, Mr. Aide placed these people in his manor and diagnosed them himself.
Surprisingly, Mr. Aide is not only capable, but also an excellent doctor himself.
No matter what the disease is, it can be cured quickly in his hands. Even some seriously injured people can quickly stop the pain and return to normal.
"In order to treat these people, Mr. Aide has not rested for two days and two nights."
On the side, someone sighed softly, looking at Chen Heng with admiration and gratitude.
Hearing this, the two young men immediately stood in awe, looking at Chen Heng with a kind of respect in their eyes, as if seeing a great man.
Under their gaze, Chen Heng's appearance at the moment was displayed.
If you observe carefully, you can find that his face is full of exhaustion, obviously he has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and he is already very tired.
His face was pale, and he didn't seem to have the slightest trace of blood. It was said that in order to cure the patient, he bought as much time as possible. He usually even ate simply, and he didn't have much time.
Looking at each other's appearance, the two young people sighed secretly, and at this moment a feeling of infinite admiration rose in their hearts.
Walking all the way from a distance, the two of them have traveled to many places and met people from many places.
Among them are cunning, treacherous, powerful, and kind.
But they were the first to see someone as selfless as Chen Heng, with such powerful abilities, and so kind and selfless himself.
Generally speaking, the more capable people are, the more realistic and selfish they are. They will not do things that are meaningless to them.
There are very few people like Chen Heng who have great ability and great strength, but they can lead by example and treat patients at the risk of illness.
Even if it was them, they couldn't help being awed and admiring.
They didn't bother Chen Heng, they just stood aside, ready to talk to each other after Chen Heng was free.
After a while, under their gaze, Chen Heng stopped what he was doing.
"Feel sorry."
Standing up from the ground, looking at the two young people in front of him, Chen Heng looked exhausted and apologetic: "There are too many patients here, I can't take care of entertaining you for the time being, please don't mind."
He spoke softly, with an apology on his face, and he looked very sincere, and one could feel his sincerity at a glance.
"No need for that."
The young man quickly waved his hands: "Saving the lives of patients is more important."
"Compared to this, the waiting of the two of us is nothing."
He said so, and then stated his purpose, wanting to respond to Chen Heng's call and join the team of crusade against monsters.
"Now is the time to crusade against monsters, and we welcome all forces that can join in."
A smile appeared on Chen Heng's face, and he said, "The housekeeper will come to discuss with you about the specific treatment issues later."
"Please rest assured, the reward will definitely satisfy you."
"No need."
The young man quickly waved his hand and said, "It is already our honor to join the team of hunting monsters and help you, how dare we ask for any more reward?"
So selfless
Looking at the two young people in front of him, Chen Heng was a little surprised.
But why, he always felt that the words in front of him were somewhat familiar, as if he had said it to someone before.
But at that time, he had other plans, but the two people in front of him didn't seem to be like this
Surprised in his heart, a smile appeared on his face: "It doesn't have to be like this."
"The remuneration that should be given is still necessary."
"If you give something, you must pay something back. This is not only your business, but also my obligation."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Chen Heng spoke softly, and then felt something unusual in his heart.
The power of faith
Surprised in his heart, this thought suddenly flashed through him.
After studying the power of faith for so long, although the essence of this power is still unclear, I can probably feel it.
But in Chen Heng's feeling, the young man in front of him has a huge power of faith entrenched, and the number is huge.
How huge
Chen Heng saved a small town, pulled out tens of thousands of people out of desperation, and worked so hard to put on a show for so long, the power of faith he gained was already huge.
But the power of faith in this guy in front of him is several times that of Chen Heng.
This is really a good guy.
Chen Heng was surprised.
The power of belief can only be produced when other people have purely positive emotions towards a specific object.
It's like Chen Heng saved this town, saved so many people from monsters and famine, and gained so many people's pure gratitude.
Chen Heng is well aware of the difficulty of obtaining the power of faith.
In order to obtain these powers of belief, he has done a lot of things along the way.
How many things has this person in front of him done to obtain such a huge blessing of faith
Surprised in Chen Heng's heart, he remained calm on the surface, but silently activated the mark of destiny in his body.
The activation of the Seal of Destiny needs to consume Chen Heng's own power, and the consumption is not small, so under normal circumstances, Chen Heng will keep the Seal of Destiny silent, and only activate it a few times.
With the opening of the imprint of destiny, what can be seen in front of the eyes is suddenly different.
Some things that were invisible before can now be clearly seen.
In front of him, the young man stood there alone.
His body is tall, his appearance is heroic, and his whole body is full of heroism, which makes people feel an inexplicable affection.
And on top of his head, the pale golden Force of Destiny was entrenched impressively, just covering his head like this, and lingering for a long time.
Good guy.
The young man in front of him is obviously a Man of Destiny.
No wonder it can gather such a huge power of faith.
Chen Heng was stunned, his face remained unchanged, and he still kept his previous smile.
"If you pay, you will get something in return."
In front of him, listening to Chen Heng's words, the young man seemed to have some insight.
He stood there thinking for a while, then continued to raise his head, looked at Chen Heng and asked, "Is there some reason in this?"
"It doesn't make sense."
Chen Heng smiled: "It's just balance."
"Tell me a simple example."
"You do things for me, and if I don't pay you, or pay you more, what will you do?"
"What will happen?"
The young man lowered his head and thought, but Chen Heng had already given the answer.
"If you don't pay, normal people will be dissatisfied, but if you pay more, will other people's pay also increase?"
"If it doesn't increase, other people will be dissatisfied. If it increases, where will the extra money come from?"
"So, balance is important."
He said casually, leading the two young people to the side.
This is for the sake of the other party being a Man of Destiny.
If it was an ordinary person, he wouldn't talk so much, deliberately chatting with the other party, but would directly throw the other party to others, so as not to waste his time.
"Balance. Balance"
The two young people read these two words, they seemed to understand something at this moment, but they didn't seem to understand anything.
"However, no payment is required. This is our own proposal."
"The end reaction is always the same."
Chen Heng smiled and continued to explain: "If you don't want to pay, others will laugh at you, but they will be dissatisfied in their hearts, because your behavior of not wanting to pay will make them appear selfish."
"The people around you will complain, because you don't have to pay the reward yourself, but the people around you may not."
"Your family may need this money urgently to improve their lives."
"As far as you are concerned, this is actually unfair. It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, you may complain yourself."
"Of course, these are just normal circumstances."
He waved his hand, as if joking: "Your strength looks good, so it's not within the normal situation."
A powerful person with good conditions and psychological quality will naturally not be dissatisfied because of those simple reasons.
But normal people can't do that.
For the time being, Chen Heng still doesn't want to experience the power of negative emotions.
Therefore, all factors that may generate the power of negative beliefs must be eliminated.
The young man nodded thoughtfully, and then asked another question.
"Mr. Ed."
He seemed to have made up his mind, looked at Chen Heng, and asked seriously: "I have seen many towns similar to this one along the way, and many of them have suffered from demonic disasters."
"But unlike here, people in those places often suffered greater disasters after they resisted."
"why is that?"
He uttered all the doubts that had arisen on the road before, and asked Chen Heng.
These were questions he hadn't been able to think about before.
However, after hearing what Chen Heng said before, he had a hunch that the person in front of him might know the answers to these questions.
Chen Heng listened patiently to the young man's question, but then suddenly laughed.
"This question is actually not difficult."
He said with a smile, and then gave an example.
"It's like a poisoned well. The water in it will be poisoned if you drink it, and you will gradually become weak. In severe cases, it will even kill you."
"The harm of the poison well is visible to everyone, but it can also ensure that most people will survive. Even if they will be poisoned slowly, they will still be able to survive in the end."
"And what you did is equivalent to smashing this poisonous well, but it didn't bring them a new water source."
"You have destroyed the original order, but you have not established a new order."
Looking at the young man, Chen Heng thought for a moment, and then continued: "No matter how bad the chaotic order is, it is better than no order."
Hearing this, the young man was stunned.
He recalled the scenes he had experienced before.
After losing the oppression of the nobles, the disaster victims fell into madness even more.
Destruction, mutilation, rape and all kinds of evils are performed on these weak people.
After losing their oppression, these weak people in the past became even worse and more terrifying than the original nobles.
