Chapter 376: Chapter 376 – Chat

In a normal world, death was not something that could be reversed.

However, that was not the case in this world.

The gods of this world had incomprehensible powers, and in the legends, many legendary figures had called back souls.

As such, in this world, even death was not a sure guarantee.

That was the case for Chen Heng as well.

Even though he could not drag a dead person’s soul back, he could at least interrogate it and gain some in formation.

A person’s corpse contained large amounts of information, including some things that Chen Heng wanted to know.

“A very unique divine energy aura…” Chen Heng stretched out his hand before frownining.

He could sense a unique divine energy ripple from the elder’s corpse.

Compared to normal divine energy, this divine energy was much heavier and contained a trace of death.

Chen Heng remembered this divine energy aura and decided to search for information about it in the future.

Of course, Mary might know something about this organisation. Aftetr all, she was their main target.

Following this, Chen Heng brought Herdosiri and Raku away from here.

In the following few days, everything became peaceful.

Mary and Orimo remained in the manor that Chen Heng had arranged for them, and did not seem to be in a hurry to visit him.

The Hatim Territory did not change because of Mary’s visit either.

In fact, there was no news from Kaki either.

This made Chen Heng feel quite surprised.

He had thought that after coming here, there would be some reaction from the people in Kaki.

Apart from this, there were some other changes, the biggest of which was that Chen Heng had another Second Ring Knight under his command.

During this period of time, Chen Heng had let Raku out to build his own team.

A Second Ring Knight had great battle power, and very few people had such power in the Kalo Kingdom.

It was likely that among the people hunting down Mary, there were not many people with such power. Otherwise, if they gathered more of such individuals, wouldn’t it be better to send all of them to deal with Chen Heng?

After all, before this, all Chen Heng had revealed about himself was that he was a Second Ring Warlock.

This meant that those people did not have such great power.

Raku’s arrival brought some changes in the Hatim Territory.

Even though Herdosiri and Lamu’s impressions of him were not too good, but he was quite diligent.

Under his efforts, there were less roaming Beastmen about, causing there to be more useable land in the Hatim Territory.

This was quite good.

After staying for half a month, Mary came to visit.

Within a quiet courtyard, there were beautiful flowers all around.

This was where Chen Heng and Mary met again.

“How has your stay here been for the past half a month?” Chen Heng poured a cup of juice as he looked at Mary and asked.

“It has been quite good.”

Mary smiled and nodded, “Thank you for takikng care of us. We have been very comfortable here, and have not encountered any problems.

The only thing is that it is not as lively as Kaki here, so it has been a bit boring.”

“That is to be expected.” Chen Heng nodded, “The Hatim Territory is a newly-established territory, and there are few nobles within it. I’m afraid that Your Highness will find it difficult to find friends of equal standing here.”

“This only shows your brilliance, Viscount Hatim,” Mary smiled as she said, “In just a few years, you have transformed this desolate territory into something like this. This can be said to be quite a miracle.”

“Perhaps.” Chen Heng smiled before saying, “Different things are of different difficulty to different people. Perhaps developing a region like this might be difficult to other people, but it was quite easy for me.”

“After all, not everyone has such great power like you, Viscount Hatim, or has such powerful followers.”

Mary thought of Herdosiri and Lamu and sighed.

These were quite good conditions.

In the past, she had also wanted to rope in some powerful followers.

However, she had not been very successful—after all, most powerful people did not want to follow an ordinary person, much less an ordinary woman.

Even though she had a noble status, to those people, royal power in the Kalo Kingdom was not a big deal and was not worth following.

As such, even after all these years, Orimo was still her only follower.

On the other hand, Chen Heng had two Knights following him from the start.

By now, if Chen Heng spread news about his identity and power, there would be even more people wanting to follow him.

Thinking to there, Mary could not help but feel complicated.

“Let’s get to our main topic.” Chen Heng smiled as he looked at Mary.

Hearing this, Mary nodded.

“What information do you have about those people hunting you down, Your Highness?” Chen Heng asked.

Mary met Chen Heng’s gaze and shook her head, “I’m not sure.”

Chen Heng looked quite surprised.

“Even though it sounds quite surprising, that is indeed the case.”

Mary shook her head and gave a bitter smile, “Those peoples have had their eyes on me for a while, and in order to avoid them, I have escaped here. However, even now, I do not know about their identities. This must sound ridiculous, but that is indeed the case.”

She gave a self-mokcing smile before continuing, “However, I have some guesses as to who they are, and I am sure you are the same, Viscount Hatim.”

“Indeed, I have my guesses.”

Hearing Mary’s words, Chen Heng smiled, “But I just wonder if it is the same as your guess.”

“Let’s see then.” Mary smiled and gave a name.

“The Dusk Church… as expected. Is it them?”

“I’m not sure, but they are the most likely culprits.”

Mary nodded, “Apart from them, no one would be this interested in me.”

Chen Heng nodded in agreement.

The Dusk Church worshipped the Dusk God, and loaved blood sacrifices to please the Dusk God.

Their targets were not ordinary people, but nobles and powerful people.

That was why they were quite a famous cult.

A few months ago, Chen Heng had received a letter from his uncle, telling him that the Dusk Church had appeared near the Kalo Kingdom.

It seemed that those people hunting down Mary were most likely the Dusk Church.

Of course, for the Dusk Church to hunt someone down so madly, just status was not enough.

“The reason why the Dusk Church likes to use nobles and powerful beings as sacrifices is because their bodies normally contain powerful bloodlines.”

Mary continued.

“Powerful bloodlines contain greater power, which is why the Dusk God likes them…”

There were many nobles who had powerful bloodlines. That was why they were powerful, and why they could become nobles.

That was also why the Dusk Church liked them.

As for other powerful beings, they naturally contained great power in their bloodlines.

“Aren’t you curious, Viscount Hatim?” Mary continued, “As to why they want to capture me?”

Chen Heng’s expression was quite calm as he sat there, waiting for Mary to continue.

As he watched on, Mary picked up a small knife and made a little cut on her skin.

Red blood dripped out and fell onto the table, but compared to the smell of ordinary blood, this blood did not smell as gory, and instead smelled somewhat fragrant.

He looked down and saw that within the red blood, there seemed to be traces of gold.

The colour seemed similar to the divine blood within Chen Heng’s body back then.

“Your Divine Bloodline has awakened.” Chen Heng looked at Mary.

“You already guessed that?” Mary stared for a moment.

“More or lesss.” Chen Heng nodded, “Only then would the Dusk Church want to capture you so much.”

“Indeed.” Mary gave a bitter laugh, “Someone who awakened a Divine Bloodline is unable to protect themselves, and has instead become like prey. How piriful.”

“What about His Majesty?” Chen Heng asked, “If your Divine Bloodline awakened, and His Majesty knew about this, he should be doing all he can to protect you.”

“Father…” Mary sighed and looked quite sad, “This is the second thing I wanted to talk about… I suspect that my father has been controlled by someone.”

“His Majesty has been controlled?” Chen Heng paused, feeling quite surprised.

Even though he had guessed at this, he never thought that this would indeed be the case.

“I’m sure you’ev heard about my father’s situation, Viscount Hatim…”

Mary continued, “A few months ago, my father’s personality went through changes.

“He seemed to have been controlled by some kind of power…”

Mary gave a bitter smile as she said, “In t3he past, my father was quite gentle, but a few months ago, he seemed to have become a different person.

“During these months, anyone who has angered him has been killed by him.”

Mary spoke softly, feeling quite helpless, “I tried to find those people’s corpses, but was unable to find anything. It was as if they evaporated.

“Following this, I discovered that they all had something in common. They were all either powerful, or had special bloodlines like me…”

“The Dusk Church?”

Chen Heng asked as he frowned.

“It’s very likely.” Mary sighed as she nodded, “Only they are so obsessed with bloodlines. Perhaps it was them who has controlled my father from the shadows, resultin in this.”

“IF that is the case, then it is quite troublesome…” Chen Heng said as he nodded.
