Although in the recent period of time, Jack Duo and his group have behaved very normally, they just kill monsters honestly on weekdays, and they seem to be completely harmless to humans and animals.
But the huge power of negative belief in them really told the two of them that these people are not good things.
If they are allowed to stay in this small town, then sooner or later their nature will be exposed and cause serious harm to this peaceful small town.
And this is exactly what Airi and the others are unwilling to do.
If it was normal, even if they wanted to monitor Jack Duo and his party and stop their evil deeds in time, they would stay until Jack Duo and his group also left.
But what happened in front of him was really too urgent.
The trial of the brave represents the brave, and it is also an indispensable part of the birth of the brave.
And the brave man is the most critical person to defeat the devil and end the evil disaster.
If the Demon King is not defeated, the disaster will not end, and the whole world will be in danger.
Therefore, even considering it from this aspect, they had to leave to participate in the trial of the brave.
Whether it's becoming a hero by themselves or watching others become brave, they all have to go there and participate in this trial.
For this, they must leave here and go elsewhere.
Chen Heng is also well aware of this.
"If you want to leave, go."
Chen Heng smiled, and said softly: "No matter what, I will support you."
"Thank you."
Ai Li nodded a little touched, then hesitated for a moment, and finally reminded Chen Heng to pay more attention to Jack Duo and his group.
After Chen Heng nodded, the two of them turned and left, and walked out of this room.
Chen Heng watched the figures of the two of them leave, thoughtful.
"It seems that they are very worried about you?"
Sitting on the wooden chair, Chen Heng seemed to be talking to himself, and said casually: "Even before you leave, remind me to be careful of you."
The soft words fell and spread to the surroundings, but failed to arouse any reaction, as if they were really talking to themselves.
But after a while, a blurry shadow appeared all around, and a phantom suddenly appeared beside Chen Heng, standing there.
"How did you find me by your side?"
When the phantom appeared, Jackoduo's figure appeared afterward, standing by Chen Heng's side just like that.
He looked at Chen Heng with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Any guess."
Chen Heng smiled, and said softly: "After all, this kind of scene is a rare scene no matter how you look at it. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?"
"That's true."
The Demon King nodded in agreement.
Such a scene of farewell between the brave and the tester is naturally very rare.
At the same time, he also had something to ask Chen Heng.
So will come again.
"How are you going now?"
Looking at Chen Heng, the devil smiled: "The trial of the brave has appeared, and your time is running out."
"If you miss this time, then the Trial of the Brave will never appear again while you are still alive."
"I see."
Chen Heng nodded, knowing this very well.
Both the devil king and the brave man will be revived and awakened one after another only when they enter the external trial.
This also means that if Chen Heng misses this opportunity to try the brave man, then unless he can wait for the next tester in his lifetime, it is impossible to wait until the next trial begins.
And that is obviously a very small probability thing.
"So, what's your decision?"
Looking at Chen Heng in front of him, Jack smiled more, and then asked again.
"What do you say?"
With a calm face, Chen Heng asked casually, "According to what you said, I don't seem to have a choice."
"Yes, there is no choice."
Jack nodded more, and then he was a little curious: "So, you decided to participate in this trial of the brave and compete with the young man before?"
"Have you figured it out yet?"
Chen Heng looked at the other party: "Looking at this, you seem to be looking forward to this matter."
"certainly."
Jack smiled a lot: "It's the first time I've seen outsiders participating in the trials of the brave."
"Excluding the meaning behind this incident, this incident alone is worth looking forward to."
Looking at the smile on Jack Duo's face, Chen Heng looked calm, noncommittal: "Maybe."
"After Allie leaves, I'll get up and leave the other way."
"During this period."
He looked at Jackdo in front of him, and asked with great interest: "May I ask, Your Majesty the Demon King, are you interested in accepting my employment as my guard?"
When the words fell, even Jack couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.
"You bastard."
He laughed, as if he thought it was very funny: "Do you know who I am?"
"I know, the representative of the power of negative beliefs, the source of the disaster of monsters, the eternal demon king of this world."
Chen Heng nodded casually, and said a series of titles.
"Since you know, you still dare to hire me to escort you."
Jack looked at Chen Heng more, and couldn't help but smile at this moment: "Let the devil act as a guard, and personally escort a candidate for the brave, you really dare to think."
"But it is undeniable that I am very interested in your proposal."
"I accept your offer."
He looked at Chen Heng, and finally gave the answer.
"very good."
Chen Heng nodded: "In that case, please go back and prepare for a while."
"At that time, my servant will notify you."
After the voice fell, Jack didn't reply, but his whole body gradually dissipated, turning into a phantom, and left this place directly.
After a while, all traces of him disappeared completely, and it seemed that he had completely disappeared, returning to the place where he was.
Chen Heng was still sitting there, seeming to have thought of something, thoughtful.
Time passed slowly.
In the following time, one person left intermittently.
On the second day after meeting Chen Heng, Ai Li prepared to pack up and salute, and left together.
When he left, a large group of mercenaries surrounded him, expressing their reluctance to leave him.
There were even many people who expressed on the spot that they wanted to follow Airi and leave this place together.
It has to be said that the charm of the brave is indeed amazing.
Even though they only got along for a short period of time, Airi's every move and deeds gave him quite a group of supporters in this place.
There are even people who would rather give up their gradually perfect life and good treatment in order to follow him, and would rather not have anything, but follow him and leave together.
Chen Heng was a little surprised and surprised by this personality charm and appeal.
For these mercenaries who wanted to leave with him, Airi wanted to refuse and persuade them to stay.
For him, leaving this time is just to go to participate in the brave trial, and these people in front of him will not be able to help him even if they follow him.
After all, if he wants to pass the test of the brave and become a real brave, he can only rely on himself in the end.
But in the end, he was persuaded by Chen Heng.
"It's a good thing that someone is willing to follow."
Looking at Ai Li, Chen Heng said: "Besides, the road ahead may not be smooth, you'd better take these people away."
Hearing this, Allie was a little puzzled.
"The so-called trial of the brave, although the test is only oneself, but in the process, there may not be no other obstacles."
Chen Heng glanced at Airi, and then patiently explained: "During this process, those who have other candidates for the brave may not be willing to compete honestly, and may use some means to exclude other competitors."
"What?"
After the words fell, Airi was shocked in reality, and then he was taken aback.
The shock was because Chen Heng knew about the trial of the brave, but the reason why he was stunned was because of Chen Heng's words.
After a while, he calmed down and looked at Chen Heng in front of him.
At this moment, Chen Heng no longer took the initiative to suppress and cover up, and just showed the power of faith in himself so frankly.
The pure power of faith is constantly intertwined on his body, covering his body like a layer of holy light, making him look extraordinarily holy and extraordinary.
Just by looking like this, it is already unique enough, and the pure power of faith contained in it is even more shocking.
Looking at Chen Heng's undisguised, huge power of faith, Ai Li was shocked in reality, and then delighted.
"So, Mr. Ed also."
He instantly knew the source of Chen Heng's news.
Only the qualified brave candidates can know about the news of the brave trial.
The Chen Heng in front of him is undoubtedly a qualified person.
It is not surprising to know the news about the Trial of the Brave.
However, Ai Li still had some doubts about what he said.
"The candidates for the brave should all be upright people, so why would they do something to intercept other candidates?"
He was a little puzzled, and looked at Chen Heng with some puzzlement in his eyes.
"Maybe they won't do it themselves, but the forces behind them may do so."
Regarding Ai Li's doubts, Chen Heng's face was calm, and he just said lightly: "From the past to the present, the things that good people do are not necessarily good things."
It often happens that good people do bad things.
No matter what it is, if you want to do it well, you can't just look at the good or bad, but also look at its specific ability.
If the ability is not enough, even if the starting point is good, it may be used by others in the end to turn a good thing into a bad thing.
Those other candidates may have good intentions, but those around them may not.
In their own interests, those forces that have their own candidates for heroes will definitely try their best to exclude competitors and exclude other candidates for heroes.
As long as all other competitors are unable to participate in the trial, they will naturally be able to obtain the ultimate inheritance and become the brave of this era.
I believe that there are not a few people who hold this idea.
"Besides."
Chen Heng glanced at Ai Li again, as if to point out: "Those who have the qualifications to be a hero may not necessarily be good people."
Not necessarily a good person
Airi froze for a moment, and subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't speak directly, and fell into deep thought.
It is true that those who have the qualifications of being a hero are not necessarily upright people.
The most obvious example is Chen Heng.
He also has the blessing of positive faith and is qualified to be a brave candidate, but is he an upright person
Obviously, he is not.
He might not be evil, but he's clearly not righteous either.
In order to achieve certain goals and use some despicable and shameless means, he can do such things.
If Chen Heng can judge others by himself, why can't he actually judge others
To be honest, if Chen Heng didn't know, with the vigorous power of destiny in Ai Li, he might not be able to stop the opponent even if he made a move, maybe he would really try to stop the opponent.
"In that case."
In front of Chen Heng, Ai Li thought for a long time, and then his face revealed a firm expression: "Then I can't accept the following of these people."
"Participating in the trial of the brave is just my business."
"If for this matter, other innocent people are brought into disputes, then I cannot forgive myself."
For Ai Li's decision, Chen Heng was a little surprised, but not too surprised.
Judging from his understanding of Airi, this is indeed the character of the other party.
Honest, friendly, sincere, unwilling to bother others, and unwilling to make sacrifices for their own affairs.
Will make such a decision, the other party is indeed worthy of the title of candidate for the brave, is a truly righteous person.
With the character of the other party, it is not surprising that such a decision will be made.
"Now that you've made your decision, let's go."
Looking at Ai Li, Chen Heng smiled, and then said: "Before you leave, if you need anything, just let me know."
"Don't be polite to me."
He said softly, "No matter what, you have helped me for so long."
"These things are the rewards you should have, so you don't have to refuse."
After the voice fell, someone stepped forward and brought some things over.
It was a set of light leather armor and a refined long sword.
Outside, there were servants leading two horses, and they slowly leaned over.
The leather armor and the long sword were refined by Chen Heng himself, adding some unique materials he brought over in the past, and using divine patterns.
As for the horse, he also purchased it specially, and it can be regarded as a rare good breed in this world.
For the people of this world, this set of things is absolutely valuable, even those well-known nobles may not have the money to afford it.
"Mr. Ed."
Looking at these things, Ai Li was a little moved, and nodded deeply at Chen Heng, not knowing what to say.
"Go."
Chen Heng didn't mean to say anything, just nodded slightly, motioning for the other party to leave.
Ai Li didn't say much, put on the leather armor silently, picked up the long sword, and then saluted Chen Heng.
After saluting, he turned around and left with his friends.
In the original room, after Ai Li left, the other servants around slowly retreated, leaving Chen Heng alone.
Looking at Ai Li's disappearing back, Chen Heng sighed softly, feeling a little complicated.
"You seem to like what this kid means."
From the side, an inexplicable voice came, vaguely curious.
"You seem surprised?"
Chen Heng was not surprised by the voice coming from the side, but spoke softly with a calm face.
At this moment, Jack, who was the devil king, was the only one who could appear on the sidelines and suddenly came to him.
At this moment, he was standing beside Chen Heng, looking at Chen Heng with a curious look on his face.
"yes."
He didn't hide his thoughts, and nodded straightforwardly: "From my observation, you seem to have always been a very calm person, no matter what you do, you are very rational."
"Even so, I'm just a normal person."
Chen Heng rubbed his forehead, and said casually: "Even for me, a person who treats others with sincerity and sincerity like Ai Li will be friendlier than others after all."
"It shouldn't be surprising that I would like someone like him."
He looked at Jackdo at the side, and said softly.
Chen Heng did not hide his affection for Ai Li.
This is not surprising.
Even though in many cases, Chen Heng has the idea of using other people in his heart, but he will not lack his own emotions.
Many things in this world are never pure and absolute.
Having a good impression of a certain person does not conflict with using the other person to achieve the goal.
"I see."
Listening to Chen Heng's words, Jack nodded thoughtfully, "Sure enough, it's not just a coincidence that you can condense the power of positive belief."
"Although you are very direct in many ways, and you always look sensible on the surface, but in fact you don't lack good emotions in your heart."
"That's why you can condense the power of positive belief."
"A beautiful emotion."
Chen Heng frowned, and looked at Jack in front of him: "Is this necessary to gather the power of faith?"
"certainly."
Looking at Chen Heng, Jack smiled more, and said: "In fact, having enough potential is just the most basic condition for condensing the power of faith."
"But other than that, whether the power of belief condensed is positive or negative, it actually depends on you."
"If your mind tends to be positive, then what you condense is the power of positive beliefs. If your mind tends to be negative, then what you condense is the power of negative beliefs."
Having said that, he paused, then continued to look at Chen Heng, at the pure and strong light of faith above his head: "Obviously, what you have condensed is the power of positive faith, which is enough to explain everything .”
"interesting."
Chen Heng smiled, and suddenly found it very interesting: "I don't think I'm an upright person."
"Integrity is not a necessary condition to be brave."
Jack shook his head: "In fact, what the brave represents is a positive belief, not a simple and narrow concept like justice."
"In other words, a purely righteous person cannot become a brave man, and a brave man may not necessarily represent justice."
"While, in most cases, the two are equivalent, that doesn't have to be the case."
