The way of life knight's practice can be regarded as top secret in this world.
Even if they are nobles, only a small group of people can obtain this kind of inheritance.
This can be seen from Chen Heng's previous experience.
Chen Heng's predecessor was born in the Hatim family, a wealthy family in the Markdo Kingdom, definitely the top nobleman.
But even so, in the Hatim family, it is also extremely difficult to obtain the inheritance of the power of life, and it must go through many trials before it can be obtained.
As for Chen Heng's predecessor, he was directly rejected during the first-level assessment.
The difficulty of obtaining it can be seen.
This is true even for the Hatim family, let alone others.
For others, the practice of obtaining the power of life is an extremely difficult thing in itself.
Therefore, since the young people in front of them now have a way to obtain the inheritance of the power of life, it is undoubtedly a great thing for them.
It is precisely because of this that these teenagers in front of them cherish the opportunity in front of them. Many of them train here day and night, and dare not stop at all.
The reason for this is actually because the way to rise in this world is very limited.
The way to obtain extraordinary power is even rarer.
If these people in front of them miss this opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no similar opportunities in the future.
Of course, the screening methods arranged by Chen Heng are also one of the reasons.
For these people in front of him, he did not let them go, but set a series of assessments.
Once the assessment fails, these people will be kicked out and directly lose their qualifications for inheritance.
As far as Chen Heng is concerned, he doesn't need slack people under his command. If he is given a chance but let it go so easily, then such a person might as well just give up.
Even if you have enough qualifications, the same is true.
Before that, several people had already been directly eliminated by Chen Heng. When they left, they cried and cried. The sound was so dazzling that it made people feel miserable.
However, Chen Heng did not soften his heart in the slightest.
After all, being able to give him a chance is already a great kindness in itself.
If under this opportunity, not only does not feel cherished, but also enjoys slack because of it, then it is not a pity to be eliminated.
For Chen Heng, this was the case.
Walking through the passage in front of them, the teenagers in front of them stopped their movements quickly, and quickly saluted Chen Heng in front of them, with expressions of awe on their faces.
Chen Heng nodded, then walked out slowly.
Not long after, he walked to the other side and entered another room.
"Father has a message"
In the room, looking at Chen Heng who had arrived in front of him, a young man raised his head with a look of surprise on his face, and then said, "This is a letter from him."
The young man in front of him is none other than Zhan Li.
It was noon at the moment, counting the time, he was still busy here, looking very busy and nervous at work.
But this is no wonder.
After all, under the current circumstances, there are actually a lot of things going on around because of the refugees coming from far and wide.
Although there are no big things, some more cumbersome affairs have never been cut off.
However, the officials under Chen Heng are relatively rare.
This is an impossible thing.
In this era, there are relatively few people who can read and write. As for the talents who have mastered basic mathematics and management and can handle some administrative affairs, they are even rarer.
In Chen Heng's hands, such people are in short supply.
Although as time goes by, in the recent period, many wandering knights from the south have come to seek refuge, but it is okay to expect these people to help you kill people, and it is difficult to expect them to help you with administrative affairs up.
It is precisely because of this that under Chen Heng's subordinates, Zhan Li and the others are very busy at the moment, and they basically work overtime on weekdays.
Of course, even though it is overtime, in the eyes of people in this world, this is a great thing.
How many people want to work overtime like this, but there is no other way.
Zhan Li didn't think it was a lot of hard work. He worked hard on weekdays and just stayed here, almost treating this place as his home.
"A letter from my uncle?"
Hearing Zhan Li's words, Chen Heng nodded, rather surprised.
Zhan Li's father is Xi Lifu, who is also the uncle of Chen Heng's body.
Even though he came here and took root in this area, the connection between Chen Heng and Xi Lifu has not been severed.
After all, this place is within the Kingdom of Carlo, and it is considered a foreign country for Chen Heng and others.
Coming to this foreign area, it is inevitable to rely on the help of some local forces to develop better.
But the Alan family where Sirivo belonged was just right.
In addition, even if these things are excluded, Xi Lifu is still the uncle of Chen Heng's body.
No matter what kind of consideration it is, it is necessary to make more contacts and win over the relationship.
Because of this, in the past, almost every other month, Chen Heng would write to Siriver to inform him of the movement and situation here.
Siriv will often reply to letters and ask people to send them to Chen Heng.
Therefore, Chen Heng shouldn't be surprised by Siriver's letter.
But what surprised him was that Sirivo's letter had just arrived some time ago, why did it come again after a few days
Standing where he was, subconsciously, Chen Heng felt that something was wrong, and felt something unusual for a while.
So, in front of Zhan Li, Chen Heng opened the letter directly, revealing the contents.
The things recorded on the letter are not complicated, and it can even be said to be quite simple.
However, the information recorded on it made Chen Heng frown.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Chen Heng's face, Zhan Li couldn't help but asked subconsciously.
"See for yourself."
Hearing Zhan Li's words, Chen Heng raised his head, looked at him and smiled, then without hiding anything, he handed over the envelope in his hand.
This is also a means of demonstrating trust.
Zhan Li subconsciously took the letter from Chen Heng, and then read it carefully.
Looking at the content written above, his expression changed in a short time.
"Twilight Church!"
His face changed slightly, and he said a name at this moment.
The content recorded in the letter is actually not that complicated.
On it, Sirive told Chen Heng about a recent incident.
On the border of the Karo Kingdom, traces of the Twilight Order's actions were discovered.
This world is the world of the gods.
In the previous era, the gods were high above, leaving many traces in this world, and also leaving behind many religious groups of gods.
Twilight Church is one of them.
However, compared to other churches of gods, the reputation of the Twilight Cult can be described as very vicious.
This order is known for its fondness for blood sacrifices.
Simple blood sacrifices are fine, after all, in this world, many places have the habit of blood sacrifices, and even in some churches known for their kindness, there are methods of blood sacrifices.
A simple blood sacrifice would not do much.
But the key problem is that the blood sacrifice of the Twilight Cult is not ordinary.
Their blood sacrifice is famous for its cruelty. It is said that before the sacrifice, the existence of the blood sacrifice needs to be tortured and insulted in various ways, so that the fear and hatred in their hearts can reach the maximum, and then their souls are burned on the flames , as a sacrifice to the supreme twilight god.
Moreover, their blood sacrifice also likes to select some extraordinary individuals.
Nobles with sacred blood, life knights with extraordinary power, and even priests of other churches
Such existences are the best blood sacrifice objects for the Twilight Cult, which can better please their gods.
It is precisely because of this that the Order of the Twilight is so notorious and disgusting.
As long as they hear the news that they are active in a certain area, many people will be terrified and shout at them.
And this time Sirival's letter was precisely because of this.
On the border of the Karo Kingdom, traces of the Twilight Order were discovered.
This may be just a coincidence, but it is also possible that some priests of the Twilight Order entered the Karo Kingdom.
No matter which point it is, it is news that needs to be vigilant.
It was precisely because of this that Sirive deliberately sent a letter to inform Chen Heng.
After all, for nobles, an existence like the Twilight Order naturally needs to be more vigilant.
"It seems that there are going to be some turmoil in the Kingdom of Carlo."
Standing where he was, recalling what was written on Sirifu's letter, Chen Heng shook his head, and this thought flashed in his mind.
"What about Hedoxili and the others?"
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Zhan Li in front of him and continued to ask.
"Master Hedoxili is still stationed in the castle outside. If there are no accidents, he should be back tomorrow."
In front of him, Zhan Li thought for a moment, and then said.
"good."
Chen Heng nodded, not much.
Afterwards, he also went to other places, and just sat here, together with Zhan Li, and began to deal with the affairs of the surrounding area.
The next day, outside the town, the traces of an army slowly approached.
The number of troops is not too large, just a few hundred people, but they look like heroes, basically everyone has weapons and armor.
Most of them are leather armors, but there are also a few scale armors, and even simple wooden armors.
But in any case, this is much better than the armies of other lords around, no matter in terms of equipment or other aspects.
And at the forefront of the army is a young man.
The young man looked very tall and was wearing a delicate black Kaijia. He was riding a horse and galloping ahead.
It didn't take long for this army to come outside the town, and just stationed there, starting to repair here.
"Welcome back."
For Hedoxili's return, Chen Heng personally led people to greet him.
More than a year later, Hedoxili is still the same as before, looking very heroic and tall, both in appearance and spirit, he looks very good.
Of course, Lamu is also average. At the moment, he doesn't seem to have changed at all, and he looks very energetic.
This is also very normal.
Both Hedoxili and Lamu are life knights.
Life knights are not only stronger than humans in terms of physical strength, but also their lifespan.
As life knights, their lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people, so naturally they don't age so easily at this moment.
And even if this is ruled out, they themselves are still in their prime at this moment, and they are at the strongest and most powerful time in their lives.
"How's the harvest this time?"
After being greeted outside, walking on the road, looking at the two people beside him, Chen Heng smiled, and then asked.
"not bad."
Hedoxili smiled and said, "During the recent period, the number of orcs around has decreased significantly."
"Looking at this, your previous actions, my lord, have successfully dealt them a heavy blow."
He said so, looking very excited.
More than a year ago, this area was still occupied by orcs. There were orc tribes in many places, and some of the powerful orc tribes could even pull out nearly ten thousand orc warriors.
In order to gain a firm foothold in this area for their own territory, and to reduce threats, Hedoxili and the others had no choice but to continue to encircle and suppress those orcs.
And some time ago, Chen Heng himself made a move himself.
A sorcerer at the peak of the third ring personally took action, and the result was astonishing.
That time, Chen Heng directly destroyed an entire tribe of orcs with spells, killing at least a thousand orcs directly and indirectly.
Afterwards, several orc tribes in this area were directly destroyed, and they could no longer continue to occupy this area.
This is also one of the reasons why Hatim Territory can develop to this level.
The Karo Kingdom does not lack land, but it lacks land that is safe enough to not worry about the threat of wild beasts and orcs.
And Chen Heng's previous actions undoubtedly expanded the living space of Hatim Territory, making the surrounding land that can be developed even larger.
And this is obviously a great benefit.
The most direct benefit is that there are more lands that can be used everywhere.
In addition, the passage leading from Hatim to other areas has also been connected at this moment.
In the Kingdom of Carlo, the population is relatively small compared to other countries.
But this is only for the Kingdom of Carlo.
In other countries, the population is actually sufficient.
Presumably, there are quite a few people who cannot survive, or who are extremely poor.
Hatim Territory can take out arable land and use it to recruit those people, thereby increasing the strength of its own territory.
In addition, due to the gradual disappearance of the orcs, the caravans, which were scarce at first, also came one after another during this period of time, came to this area again, and started doing business.
This also made a considerable contribution to the prosperity of Hatim Territory.
