Chapter 375: Chapter 375 – Surrender

“Your Highness Mary, welcome to the Hatim Territory…” Within he courtyard, Chen Heng looked at Mary and gave a slight smile.

“Thank you for your help earlier.” Mary also smiled as she looked at Chen Heng, “If it wasn’t for your help, Sir Orimo and I would have been in quite a predicament.”

“It was what I should have done.” Chen Heng smiled and nodded, not seeming arrogant at all, “I still remember the help you gave me back then. As for what I did for you, it’s not a big deal.”

“I see…” Hearing this, Mary sighed, not knowing what to say.

Those enemies, which had been terrifying to them, was not a big deal to Chen Heng.

“I have had the Hatim Territory cleaned out, and have arranged your residence,” Chen Heng said softly, “I’m sure you are tired after hurrying from Kaki, so please have a rest. If you have anything that you need, let the servnats know.”

“I understand.” Mary gave a slight smile as she nodded, “I will go rest then, and will visit you in a few days.”

Following this, she turned and left, accompanied by Orimo.

Chen Heng stood there calmly as he watched Mary walk off.

Only after she disappeared did he turn and think to himself, “That feeling most likely was not a misconception…”

Back when he had come into contact with Mary, he had sensed a strange aura within her.

It was a faint bloodline might that was similar to his Divine Bloodline, but was much thinner.

However, even so, it was still quite incredible.

Then again, it was also quite strange.

If Mary had awakened a Divine Bloodline, it should not be so weak.

For those who awakened Divine Bloodlines, even if their talent was quite lacking, their bloodline would make it stronger.

It could be said that every person who had awakened a Divine Bloodline had ended up as a peerless genius, and this included Chen Heng.

Before, his past identity had been incredibly ordinary.

After Chen Heng had descended and awakened the dormant Divine Bloodline, this body’s talent had increased by leaps and bounds.

That was why if Mary had awakened a Divine Bloodline, even if the density of her bloodline could not compare to Chen Heng’s, she should at least be able to rival some geniuses.

She should not be so weak that she would rely on an Apprentice Knight to protect her.

This didn’t make sense.

Standing there, Chen Heng thought to himself before leaving this place.

After a while, he came to a prison.

Imprisoned in this prison were the criminals of this territory, and there were quite a few of them.

Chen Heng would often come here to take away some criminals for his experiments, or directly kill them for their life essence.

The two people from before had also been locked up here.

“How’s the situation?” After arriving at the prison, Chen Heng found that Herdosiri seemed to be standing guard there.

This was insurance.

For ordinary criminals, some ordinary guards were enough.

However, within were a Second Ring Life Knight and a First Ring Priest.

For such people, if they unleashed their power, they would be able to cause great damage.

As such, Herdosiri had been standing guard here.

“There haven’t been any problems…”

Seeing Chen Heng arrive, Herdosiri looked respectful and hurriedly bowed, “The other people have been moved elsewhere, and only the two of them are within.”

In response, Chen Heng nodded and headed forwards.

After walking in, a cold and damp feeling appeared, making one feel uncomfortable.

However, Chen Heng did not mind it and looked around.

Soon, he saw two figures sitting there.

After thinking for a moment, he walked to the side.

Within the cell, the tall figure heard the footsteps and immediately stood up.

Seeing that it was Chen Heng and Herdosiri, his expression changed and did not even dare to speak.

The scene of Chen Heng acting against them had left a deep impression in his mind, and his body instinctively reacted.

“Tell me about your history.” Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he looked at them and spoke.

Hearing this voice, Raku tried to ignore him.

He indeed feared Chen Heng, but that did not mean he had to cave so easily.

It was just that despite this, a strange energy appeared, covering the depths of his soul.

“I am a Knight from the Oro Empire…” He said.

As he spoke, a look of shock appeared on his face.

“What did you do to me?” HE looked at Chen Heng in shock and fear.

In the past, he had wondered how he would be treated.

Would he be bribed, or would he be tortured?

However, even without anything happening, his body had spoken by itself.

“Oro Empire, he?”

Chen Heng was quite familiar with that name.

Back then, this body of his had been escaping because the Oro Empire had destroyed the Malido Kingdom.

Who would have thought that he would encounter a Knight from the Oro Empire here.

“Who is the one behind you?” Chen Heng asked.

He could see the young man struggle, but in the end, his body did not obey his commands and spoke, “I don’t know…”

“You don’t know?” Herdosiri frowned and looked at the young man fiercely, “You don’t even know who you’re working for?”

“I really don’t know…” Raku’s expression darkened as he spoke.

After he began to speak, he seemed to give up on resisting and continued, “Back when I left the Oro Empire, I wanted to head elsewhere to search for opportunities…

“Those people suddenly contacted me and provided me with some things to break through…”

Soon, Chen Heng and Herdosiri understood his situation.

The young Knight indeed came from the Oro Empire, and he had also been a true Knight like Herdosiri.

In order to search for opportunities, as well as fortunes and strength, he had left the Oro Empire and travelled.

During this process, he had been contacted by those people.

They were people dressed in black robes, and were Priests of a certain church.

They had recruited Raku and gave him greater power.

Raku had agreed, obtaining some items and legacies, causing him to become a Second Ring Knight.

Even now, he did not know who those people were.

“I’m just a mercenary and didn’t ask that much…”

Looking at Herdosiri, Raku’s expression was grim as he replied, “As for more specific things, you sould ask that old fellow. He’ll know more than me.”

“What you said makes sense.” Hearing Raku’s words, Chen Heng nodded, “Are you willing to surrender?”

Raku opened his mouth, wanting to surrender.

A wave of energy appeared, turning into corporeal killing intent.

“I’ll die…” Raku felt his mind go blank as instinctive fear assaulted his mind.,

If he did not agree, he would really die.

After thinking this, his face became pale as he said, “I… surrender…”

“Make some arrangements for him.”

Those soft words sounded wonderful to Raku.

Following this, that terrifying pressure also disappeared.

“I lived…” Standing there, Raku gasped for air, feeling relieved.

It was just that he also felt ashamed.

In the face of death, he had caved.

If he really did not fear death and was unwavering, no matter how strong Chen Heng’s pressure was, it would not have done anything.

It was because Raku feared death that he surrendered so easily.

“I was just a mercenary and never pledged my loyaty to them, so it’s not my fault…” Raku thought to himself, comforting himself.

Looking at Raku, Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he waved his hand.

A bit of divine energy flowed into Raku’s body.

Immediately, just like Herdosiri and Lamu, Raku’s body was filled with warmth and a comfortable feeling.

“This power…” Raku’s eyes widened as he looked at himself.

It had to be said that this feeling of becoming stronger was incredibly comfortable and made him feel intoxicated.

For someone like Raku who was obsessed with power, it was even better.

Immediately, all negative emotions disappeared and were replaced by excitement.

After a while, the light disappeared and completely fused into his body.

After this ended, his life essence had been increased, and even though he had not reached Third Ring, he was still much stronger than before.

If he fought with Herdosiri again, he would be able to easily suppress him.

Thinking to there, he could not help but look at Herdosiri, wanting to spar him.

“This is your reward.” Chen Heng’s voice once again sounded out, “But it’s also insurance. If I want, you can immediately die.”

As Chen Heng spoke, a horrific feeling apepred within Raku’s body, making him feel as if his body was going to be torn apart.

Feeling this, Raku’s expression changed and he directly kneeled, “I pledge my loyalty to you and will be your Knight from now on, and will never betray you.”

“I hope that’s the case.” Chen Heng’s expression was calm and just nodded before walking to the side.

Following this, Herdosiri let Raku out.

The two Knights walked side by side behind Chen Heng and accompanied him.

However, at that moment, Chen Heng frowned.

Within the cell ahead, the figure had lost all traces of life.

“He’s dead?” He looked ahead and paused.

The elder’s corpse lay there with a peaceful expression, and looked like he had been dead for a while.

“No way.” Herdosiri’s expression became grim.

This was completely his responsibility.

“It’s fine.” Chen Heng shook his head and did not blame him; this was not something they could deal with.

If a First Ring Priest wanted to die, Herdosiri would not be able to stop him.

Compared to Raku, this elder was much more loyal to his organisation.

He had most likely expected this, so he had killed himself to avoid leaking any information.
