Neither Hedosili nor Chen Heng felt guilty about their search for the corpse.
For them, to be able to protect those people along the way, to a certain extent, they are considered as benevolent and righteous, and they are definitely kind people.
And searching for the bodies of those they protected after they died was really nothing, just routine.
This world's moral requirements are far from that high. To be able to rob them of their only property without looting while they were alive is already considered a good behavior.
Neither Hedoxili, Lamu, nor Chen Heng felt that there was anything wrong with taking property from the dead.
After all, from another point of view, this is also the protection fee they deserve.
No one is asking that they have to protect those people for free.
After those people die, it is very reasonable to charge some fees appropriately.
However, it is precisely for this reason that they are not short of money.
The people who fled from the Markdo Kingdom along the way were basically the nobles of the Markdo Kingdom.
There is no need for civilians to flee, after all, even if they are subjugated, nothing will happen.
At best, it's nothing more than changing a tax collector.
Even the mighty Oro Empire might be better for them than the Markdo Kingdom.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need for civilians to flee.
Those who really need to escape are the nobles of the Markdo Kingdom.
Only these groups of people are the ones who need to escape the most.
After all, as stakeholders, they used to be the rulers of the Maridor Kingdom and enjoyed the best rights and interests of the Markdo Kingdom.
It is precisely because of this that after the demise of the Marko Kingdom, they had to flee quickly to avoid being robbed by nobles from the Oro Empire and eaten up in one go.
In this case, it is quite normal for them to choose to escape.
But obviously, they will inevitably carry a lot of property in the process of fleeing.
After all, since nobles are nobles, most of them will have a strong family background.
If you don't have this family background, you don't need to leave.
This was the case with the people Hedoxili met before, even including Chen Heng himself. None of them carried a lot of property with them for their future life.
As for the collection of these belongings, the belongings of the three people are actually quite valuable, which can be regarded as a large amount of money.
And after the two of Hedoxili pledged their allegiance to Chen Heng, the ownership of the money automatically belonged to Chen Heng.
The three of Chen Heng calculated it before.
Just the belongings they carry with them, if they are willing to throw them all out, can be exchanged for a full three thousand Oro gold coins.
Although it was destroyed by the Auro Empire, there is no doubt that in this area, the Auro Empire is a well-deserved overlord, and it is one of the few huge empires.
In this area, the Oro gold coin issued by the Oro Empire is also one of the most valuable hard currencies, even if it is of huge value in other places.
Correspondingly, the Markdo small silver coins of the Markdo Kingdom are much smaller in value. Not only are there a large number of counterfeit and shoddy coins, but their fineness is also insufficient, and their recognition is far inferior to that of Oro gold coins.
The three of Chen Heng walked along the road, ready to exchange their belongings directly for Oro gold coins.
In this city, they repaired for three days.
In three days, they bought a whole new set of clothes and bought three horses at the same time.
Previously, due to conditions, they used their legs to walk, and their efficiency was naturally very slow.
But now, since he has come to the city and has the corresponding conditions, he should naturally replace his various equipment.
In addition to three horses, Chen Heng also bought a carriage and some weapons.
Horse-drawn carts are used to carry food and other supplies.
After all, even if there were horses, the three of Chen Heng needed food and various other consumables along the road.
These are things that take up a lot of space, and it would be inconvenient to put them on a horse.
Instead of this, it is better to buy a carriage directly.
As for weapons, they are also necessary, a must-have for a warrior.
Before that, whether it was Hedoxili or Lamu, the weapons on their bodies had been damaged and needed to be replenished.
It happened to be together at this time.
After some purchases, hundreds of Oro gold coins were spent.
This value, in the eyes of the two of Heduosili, is actually still expensive.
Due to the recent outbreak of war, the value of horses, weapons and food has increased slightly, so the price of purchase has also increased.
If not, there would be no need to spend so much money.
However, they didn't care about it.
Anyway, at this moment, they still have plenty of money, so this little expense is relatively nothing.
"One more day of repair, let's go."
In the quiet room, looking at the two Hedoxili in front of him, Chen Heng thought for a moment, and then said this.
In front of him, listening to Chen Heng's words, the two of Hedoxili nodded and had no objection to it.
In the room, they continued to discuss, and after discussing for a while, they turned and left.
As time passed, they each had something to do, and it was not time to relax.
In the same place, Chen Heng shook his head looking at Hedoxili and the two leaving in front of him, then turned around silently, and also walked out of the room.
He walked out of the hotel in front of him and went outside the city.
Within a few days of coming to this city, this was the first time he had come to the streets of this city and had a close contact with the scenery here.
Under his gaze, the surrounding scenery is displayed, just presented.
The streets on both sides looked crooked, and it was not well planned at first glance.
And around the street, there are still many strange auras coming.
That smell is very weird, mixed with excrement, blood, and even other disgusting smells, all mixed together to form a unique smell.
Hearing this breath, Chen Heng frowned and continued to look.
With his gaze, he could clearly see that many people fell to the ground on the streets ahead.
These people looked ragged, fell to the ground weakly, and all of them looked very ugly, looking very weak and ugly.
These are refugees.
With the start of the war, the Markdo Kingdom was defeated, and a large number of refugees poured out of the Markdo Kingdom and ran to nearby countries.
This is the inevitable result of war.
As soon as something like war happens, it will inevitably affect production and cause batch after batch of people to die.
This is especially true for the present agricultural society that still lives on arable land.
Compared with the ancient times in Chen Heng's previous life, this world has extraordinary power and unique means such as magic.
But obviously, neither the church nor the nobles have the idea of using extraordinary power to take over the ordinary, and they will not take the initiative to lower their bodies and use their power in production.
Therefore, apart from the upper class, above the lower class, this world is not much different from Chen Heng's previous life.
And the city in front of him was a cruel microcosm.
Walking on the road, in front, a few patrolling guards were walking in front, while moving a corpse away with a smile, it seemed that they were already used to this, and they didn't find it strange at all.
Not far away, bursts of weeping sounded, and the cry of children came.
Pedestrians on the road quickly walked through the street in front of them, avoiding the refugees squatting around like the plague.
Looking at these scenes, Chen Heng's face was calm, and he just walked forward silently, walking forward.
"gentlemen."
A child's voice sounded and came.
Chen Heng turned around and looked in that direction, just in time to see a crying boy squatting there, still hugging his mother.
"Sir, can we have some food? My mother is dying."
The boy was crying, looking at Chen Heng pleadingly.
Looking at this scene, Chen Heng was silent for a moment, then took out a piece of dry food from his body, and put it in front of his eyes.
"Thank you, thank you."
The boy took it in a hurry, his face was full of gratitude: "Thank you"
After receiving the dry food, he thanked him again and again.
Chen Heng shook his head secretly, didn't speak, just walked by silently.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly paused.
A warm current poured into his body.
"This is."
Sensing the changes in his body, Chen Heng couldn't help but pause, with a look of surprise on his face.
At that moment just now, he seemed to feel some movement of the divinity in his body.
It seems, touched
A brand new power poured into his body, giving people a warm feeling.
In the invisible, Chen Heng could feel that there seemed to be an invisible power in his body, accumulating in his body.
"This power."
Feeling the power that suddenly emerged from his body, Chen Heng was a little surprised: "The power of faith?"
Regarding the power surging in his body, he had understood it from the information he obtained from the divinity.
Nothing else but the power of faith.
Creatures devoutly believe in gods, and pure spiritual ideas gather toward a fixed goal, which will form a force.
This is the power of faith, and it is also the source of the power of the gods.
Regarding these basic information, when Chen Heng obtained these two divinities, he already knew them.
The divinity contained part of the information of the fallen gods. Although the information contained in it was very little, it also contained some basic information.
It is precisely because of this that at this moment, Chen Heng was able to recognize the existence of the power of faith.
But, how is this possible
Walking on the road, Chen Heng frowned secretly, with some inexplicable doubts in his heart.
The power of faith does exist.
But judging from the information revealed in the divinity, the so-called power of faith should at least be able to be sensed after reaching the demigod level and stepping into the realm of gods.
Under the realm of gods, one cannot perceive the existence of the power of faith at all, even with divinity.
However, what is going on in this situation
There is no doubt that Chen Heng has not stepped into the realm of gods at this moment.
His current strength is just an official wizard, just equivalent to a second ring mage in this world.
Judging from the standards revealed within divinity, he is obviously not qualified to sense divinity.
So why now.
Chen Heng couldn't help being puzzled, and then looked in front of him.
In front of him, the brilliance of the simulator flickered, carrying a kind of hazy power.
Feeling the power of the simulator, Chen Heng was thoughtful, and a thought flashed in his mind.
He still remembered at this moment that he did not acquire those two divinities directly by himself, but grafted them through a simulator.
According to the information displayed by the simulator at that time, it seems that he did not acquire these two divinities directly, but through the power of the simulator, directly integrated these two divinities into his body. His essence merged into one.
Until now, he can still clearly feel the divine power in his true spirit.
The power of divinity has already mixed with him to become a whole.
And this method is obviously different from the way ordinary people obtain divinity.
For other individuals in this world, if they do not reach the realm of gods, there is no way to truly integrate divinity in their bodies, let alone fully exert the power of divinity.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this difference that the current result has been caused.
After being influenced by the power of the simulator, divinity has become a part of Chen Heng, and the power of divinity has also become Chen Heng's own power.
This is fundamentally different from those who utilize divine power.
One is to treat it as a tool, and the other is to treat it as a part of oneself, which naturally has a big difference.
Perhaps it was because of this that Chen Heng was able to do this kind of thing, and perceive the existence of the power of faith without being a god.
This is one possibility.
Of course, the reason for this may also be because of the simulator.
There are two possibilities.
But right now, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Heng can perceive the traces of the power of faith.
This is a great advantage if you can use it well.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng continued to look forward thoughtfully.
Next, Chen Heng continued to test again.
The final result, without exception, was all successful.
He could indeed feel the existence of the power of faith, the power formed by the aggregation of the thoughts of living beings.
However, compared to true faith, the power he gained was very weak.
Chen Heng can also understand this point.
After all, this is not a real belief, it is just an idea emanating from a moment of gratitude.
Relatively speaking, belief is a lifetime, as long as you don't change your belief or give up your belief, it can continue for a lifetime.
And gratitude is destined to be only temporary.
Those who have been favored by Chen Heng may be especially grateful to Chen Heng for a while, but they cannot always be like this.
It only takes a little time, and the gratitude in their hearts will be exhausted, far less lasting than true faith.
Therefore, the power obtained in Chen Heng's body is very weak, which is quite normal.
Chen Heng was not surprised at all.
Compared with this, for Chen Heng, the bigger problem at this moment is another one.
"How to use this thing?"
Standing where he was, this thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind.
The power of faith, this is the mighty power that belongs exclusively to the domain of gods, and it is the power that only gods are entitled to possess.
Although Chen Heng is able to possess it because of his own speciality, how to use this power is also a problem.
There is no doubt that a real god should be able to use the power of faith to change, strengthen himself, transform himself, and gradually strengthen himself.
But for Chen Heng, he couldn't directly absorb the power of these beliefs, nor could he directly use these powers to strengthen himself.
So, what is the use of these powers of faith
This thought flashed across Chen Heng's mind, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
But soon, he found the first use of these powers of faith.
Standing in place, Chen Heng's heart moved slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind.
As his thoughts flashed, two divinities emerged from his body at the same time.
Like a hungry person starting to eat, two divinities emerged from his body at the same time, and began to devour the power of faith he had obtained before.
In just a short period of time, those powers of faith were swallowed up by the two divinities and completely disappeared.
And with the end of this process, in Chen Heng's feelings, a brand new power seemed to be spit out by the two divinities.
Ninety-nine percent of the power swallowed by the divinity was digested by the divinity and turned into a power that strengthened the divinity.
And the remaining bit turned into pure power and poured into Chen Heng's body.
An extremely comfortable feeling emerges from the body.
At this moment, Chen Heng could feel the changes in his body following the divinity.
His body seemed to be growing as the divinity swallowed that power.
It's just that the extent of this enhancement is very small, and if it weren't for Chen Heng's mental power to be strong enough, he wouldn't even be able to detect it.
Feeling this, Chen Heng's eyes lit up, and he began to observe more carefully.
Under the careful induction of mental power, Chen Heng discovered more things.
In his body, the power of faith that had been swallowed by divinity before seemed to disappear out of thin air.
After devouring the power of faith, the power of divinity seems to have also been supplemented, and it has become slightly stronger.
A feeling of desire arises instinctively in Chen Heng's body, as if he wants more power to supplement his divinity and himself.
"It seems to be beneficial."
Feeling the changes in his body, Chen Heng was thoughtful, and this thought flashed in his mind.
With the power of divinity devouring faith, both the divinity itself and his body seem to have grown.
Although this growth is very weak, it is also due to the lack of power of faith.
If the power of faith is sufficient, then this growth will be considerable.
"Is this the reason why gods need to build churches and have believers?"
Standing where he was, this thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind.
