"Hello, Your Majesty."
In the distance, the group of people came from a distance, one by one wearing leather armor, and walked slowly in front of Chen Heng.
When the group of people approached, the guards around Chen Heng subconsciously became vigilant and looked at the group of people in the distance.
To be precise, these should not be called people.
Their appearance and characteristics are different from ordinary humans. Although they seem similar on the surface, they are actually very different.
This point may not be clear to ordinary people, but to the many wizards present, it is a very clear thing.
These are elves.
"It's been a long time."
Looking at the group of elves, Chen Heng nodded, and then said: "You have already understood my reason for coming."
"Your Majesty's people have already been here."
Among the elves in front of him, the middle-aged elf who was the leader spoke softly and said: "In order to welcome His Majesty's arrival, we have prepared a sumptuous banquet and are waiting for His Majesty's presence."
"I hope so."
Chen Heng nodded, and then slowly moved forward under the leadership of the middle-aged elf in front of him.
Walking along the road, the surrounding scenery gradually unfolds.
Pale silver brilliance floated around, and it looked extraordinarily handsome and unique at first glance.
The silver silver tree stands around, exuding that unique atmosphere, which is eye-catching.
It has to be said that the elves are worthy of being called the original wizards.
Although the elves in the Hemu region have ended, traces of spells and witch formations can still be clearly felt in their location.
The surroundings are filled with a strong atmosphere of elemental particles, which is far more obvious than what Chen Heng felt in other places in the past.
If nothing else, the place in front of me should be an energy node.
A large number of elemental particles emerged from this place, and the surrounding silver trees used this batch of power, absorbed it into themselves, and then guided it to other places through the unique spell of the elves.
Every corner is full of traces of spells and witch formations.
Chen Heng continued to move forward.
For his arrival, the attitude of the elves is very peaceful, not too enthusiastic, but it is far from being as strongly repulsive as the outside world said.
Of course, the reason for this attitude may also be related to Chen Heng's identity.
After all, at present, he is already His Majesty of the Dawn Empire, the only master of this Hemu area.
Even the entire Sea Clan is no match, let alone the withered elves.
If they don't want to ask for trouble, they can no longer show their previous attitude.
Walking into it from the outer area, slices of beautiful scenery unfold.
Afterwards, Chen Heng went inside.
Like humans, the elves also build houses for living.
But their houses are very unique, because of personal preference, each is different.
Some are even built directly on trees, and they look quite solid.
This actually aroused Chen Heng's interest, and he looked all the way over.
Moving forward, he saw the current leader of the elves.
An old elf wizard.
This is the only official wizard left in the elf family, but he is very powerful, and he has reached the peak among the official wizards.
In the entire Hemu area, excluding Chen Heng himself, the strength of this old elf wizard can be ranked in the top five.
In the past, it was precisely because of the existence of this old elf wizard, coupled with the ubiquitous barriers around them, that the elves were able to thrive in this place, and would not be completely extinct.
"I came here for an invitation and to fulfill a promise."
Looking at the old elf wizard, Chen Heng spoke softly and explained his reason for coming.
In the past, because of an accident, he had some relationship with Yana, a half-elf wizard from a foreign land, and got some favors from him.
The inheritance stone in his hand came from the opponent's hand.
At that time, Chen Heng had promised that when the time was right in the future, he would take care of the elves in the Hemu area.
The reason why he came this time was to fulfill his promise.
He talked about his connection with Yana back then, and then he spoke softly, giving the other party a choice.
"If you are willing to go out, I can let all of them enter the Academy of Dawn, and promise that there will be a member of the elves in the Academy of Dawn."
"If you don't want to, I will confer your honor as the Duke of Mogao, and confer the nearby area as the territory of the elves."
Hearing Chen Heng's words, the guards who were beside Chen Heng at that time, as well as the governor, couldn't help being surprised.
From their point of view, Chen Heng's actions were not inappropriate.
Councilors of Dawn Academy, this is the management of Dawn Academy, there are only ten people in total, not only can participate in the management of Dawn Academy, but also can get the research results in Dawn Academy immediately, and get in touch with the most advanced spells and knowledge.
Today, with the unification of the human world and all wizards gathered under the Academy of Dawn, the development of wizards is also changing with each passing day.
In the past, various schools of thought and colleges tended to have their own researches, each expanding and researching in a certain field.
There are many ancient schools who even live a hermit life, concentrating only on their own research.
This is undoubtedly unreasonable and not right.
It is good to study behind closed doors and specialize in one's own knowledge, but it is easier to obtain results only in the process of discussion and communication.
And if everyone studies behind closed doors, it will lead to many embarrassing problems.
What you have worked so hard to research and study hard, others may have already researched it.
That would be embarrassing.
The cost of this waste is high.
In the Hemu area, it is obviously the same spell template, but it has been developed into different spells abruptly, and many of them are created in this way.
And when all the wizards gathered under the banner of Dawn College, all the research results of the previous wizarding schools could not help but be summarized, and then taught to other wizards in a unified way.
The gathering of a large number of wizards in one place has also led to constant collision of ideas with each other, and the results are far easier to appear than in the past.
Coupled with the excavation of past relics, nowadays, the entire wizarding civilization is changing with each passing day, and new results appear almost every two years.
And if you want to get in touch with these achievements, the Dawn Academy's councilor position is the best choice.
If the elves want to integrate into the whole, this choice is the best.
And canonizing the duke and giving the nearby land to the elves, this is another way.
If the elves don't want to integrate into the group, but just want to shut their doors and live their lives quietly, then this is the best choice.
With the title conferred by the empire, the elves will also be protected, so that they will not be regarded as good experimental materials by wizards like in the past.
Both options are undoubtedly very generous.
For ordinary people, even if they struggle all their lives, it is unlikely to achieve this result.
But for the elves at this moment, it was easy to do it.
Thinking of this, the wizards present couldn't help but cast their eyes forward, filled with jealousy and envy.
Regarding the two choices given by Chen Heng, the old elf wizard was lost in thought.
After a long time, he gave an answer and made a choice.
The old elf wizard decided to lead the elves into Dawn Academy.
This is the choice to integrate into the collective.
As an old man, the old elf wizard saw it very clearly.
If you choose the second path, you can live well under the protection of the Dawn Empire, but if you encounter an accident in the future, it will become extremely miserable.
Living in an environment where they are carefree and don't need to compete with others, the elves may slowly degenerate and waste their talents in vain in the end.
And once the Dawn Empire disappears, or no longer shelters them, they will be reduced to fish and meat, and will be slaughtered.
At that time, the situation will be even more dire than it is now.
Instead of this, it would be better to take the initiative to join Dawn Academy to compete with other wizards to strengthen yourself.
The old elf wizard thought for a long time, and finally made such a decision.
Regarding the decision made by the old elf wizard, Chen Heng nodded and didn't say much.
Seriously speaking, the addition of the elves is actually a good thing for Dawn Academy.
No matter how weak they were, the elves were once the rulers of the world after all, so they must have the legacy and part of the inheritance left by their ancestors in the past, as well as part of the wizard knowledge handed down by the ancient elves.
These things are an excellent supplement to Dawn Academy.
Perhaps with these things in place, the path for an official wizard to be promoted to a second-level wizard can be explored clearly.
Yes, explore.
During the World War that year, wizard civilization undoubtedly developed to a great extent.
But the Hemu area was originally developed from the mist, and the wizard civilization in it has long since disappeared, and everything today is excavated from some ruins.
At the beginning, it was just some common meditation ideas, but as the first wizard apprentices appeared and multiplied, they were slowly deduced and re-evolved into the current situation.
The development history of the Hemu area is actually very limited.
Up to now, they have only explored the step of becoming a formal wizard, but they have not yet figured out the path beyond the formal wizard.
This matter has troubled the wizards in the Hemu area for hundreds of years. It was not until the Dawn Academy was established in the past few decades that all wizards studied together, and there was some light.
However, there are still many problems to be solved in order to make a real breakthrough.
With the addition of the elves, it may be possible to speed up this speed.
In the following time, Chen Heng was a guest among the elves, and experienced the scenery of the elves.
I have to say that the scenery here is very good.
The elves seem to be born masters of aesthetics, and they have their own unique pursuits for everything.
This pursuit is manifested in all aspects, and it is even more obvious in this place where the elves have survived for generations.
The surrounding scenery is beautiful, and all kinds of scenery look like works of art, which are particularly moving.
Chen Heng looked around and couldn't help but open his eyes.
After staying here for several days, Chen Heng left here and went to other places.
However, before leaving, Chen Heng also secretly collected the blood of a few elves in a place unknown to ordinary people, and collected their samples back as materials.
Chen Heng's original intention was actually to want some corpses of elves, but considering the purpose of coming this time, he didn't mention it.
After all, whether it is directly killing the living elves or digging up the corpses, it seems that it is not very good for the elves who have just reached a cooperation.
Therefore, Chen Heng did not do too much.
Anyway, for the time being, he does not lack this material.
Although the elves in the entire Hemu area are basically concentrated in the Mo plateau, there are also a few wandering outside.
There was an auction of elf slaves in the city of Heluo.
And as time goes by, there will definitely be some natural deaths among the elves.
It will be fine if you come to the door secretly again at that time.
"However, according to my previous personality, I shouldn't care about these things, and I will just kill a few of those elves."
On the way back, thinking about his own changes, Chen Heng shook his head secretly.
Up to now, sixty or seventy years have passed, and he has gradually felt the influence of the imprint of faith on him.
To be precise, the imprint of faith itself will not affect his character.
What made the impact was the power of positive belief that was absorbed by the brave man during his trial.
That is the power of belief accumulated over countless years in the belief world, and its magnitude is unimaginable for ordinary people.
When Chen Heng accepted the inheritance of the imprint of faith, in order to gain powerful power, he also received this power of faith.
This force is indeed huge, in Chen Heng's feeling, almost no one can beat it.
Even though the Heart Eater wizard who was raging in the Hemu area back then, he couldn't survive a few moves against him, and he was directly taken down by him.
But too much power also affected him.
Power itself will affect the human mind, not to mention the power of faith, which is generated from the mind.
After a long time, Chen Heng has discovered that his personality is gradually changing.
Take the matter just now.
He wanted the corpses of the elves, for their origin of blood, to experiment with the practice of the moon god ritual.
If it were him in the past, he might not be as gentle as he is now, and he would directly attack secretly. Even if he didn't catch a few living elves from Mo plateau, he might have to go to the tomb of the elves to see.
Anyway, even if he did something, the group of elves didn't dare to say anything, so they could only suffer the loss secretly.
But now, it is much gentler.
It seemed that while he was accepting that power, he himself was also affected by the power of faith, and his personality gradually changed.
Shaking his head secretly, Chen Heng himself did not reject this change in himself.
The influence of the power of faith is not a forced transformation, but just amplifies the good thoughts that already exist in the depths of the soul.
If there is no kindness in one's heart, then the power of belief cannot affect anything.
As long as it doesn't affect his rationality, Chen Heng doesn't care about this change in himself.
Anyway, when it came time to make a move, he wouldn't have any hesitation either.
But going on like this is not a good thing after all.
As time goes by, the influence of the power of faith will inevitably intensify.
It's only at this level now, but it won't necessarily be the case in the future.
Chen Heng has no intention of becoming a saint.
It’s okay to pretend to be a fake once in a while, but if you really want to be one, forget it.
Thinking of this, a thought flashed through his mind.
"Perhaps it's time to leave."
This thought flashed in his mind, looking at the vast land in the distance, he thought so.
In the following days, time gradually passed.
After several months.
In the luxurious and spacious laboratory, Chen Heng left from several corpses and looked at the crimson liquid in his hand.
In his hand, a small vial of test tube was held there, and the crimson liquid flowed from it.
This is the origin of the blood extracted from those corpses, but compared with the ones extracted and processed by Chen Heng in the past, the activity in this vial is very low, and it seems that there is not much vitality at all.
No wonder.
After all, the origin of this bottle of blood was extracted from the corpse.
In order to obtain the corpses of these elves, Chen Heng sent people around to investigate in the past few months, and only then did he collect these corpses from various places and extract this small bottle of blood origin.
"The blood of the elves"
Looking at the origin of the blood in front of him, Chen Heng put it under the microscope and observed it carefully.
In the world of wizards, in order to be able to observe more microscopic things, things like microscopes have been invented, but the multiples are still not comparable to modern ones.
Under the magnification of the microscope, some situations that cannot be observed in ordinary situations are revealed.
Within the crimson liquid, there are faint silver streaks passing through, which is very unique, but it is very thin, so under normal conditions, it cannot be seen with the naked eye.
"A more advanced source of blood?"
Chen Heng was thoughtful, and this thought flashed in his mind.
Above the ordinary elves, there is an elf royal family with the blood of moon elves and sun elves.
Maybe the corpses of the elves in front of them contain some blood of the royal family
This thought flashed in his mind, and without much hesitation, he walked directly to the side, ready to absorb it.
The Heaven Swallowing Scripture was running, and the origin of the blood was gradually swallowed by him.
Compared with the past, Chen Heng himself has changed a lot this time.
An inexplicable force emerged from his body.
The magic power in the body began to operate spontaneously, and somehow became active.
Especially the power of the moon god in his body.
In Chen Heng's body, it seemed that he felt something, and the power of the moon god began to operate spontaneously, and gradually merged into Chen Heng's body, helping Chen Heng's body stabilize.
This process lasted for a long time and was not fully completed until several days later.
After the blood fusion was completed, Chen Heng first walked out of the laboratory and had a big meal in the outside world before he began to feel the changes in himself.
He went to a mirror and stood there.
In the mirror, Chen Heng's appearance gradually appeared.
