Chapter 741: Chapter 741 – First Contact
In order to prevent this transaction from implicating himself, Chen Heng had thought of many ways.
A normal transaction would leave enough traces, in the end, no matter what. Although a normal person might not be able to see anything, under the interference of those powerful forces, it was easy for loopholes to appear.
Especially when these people in front of him were likely not prepared to help Chen Heng keep the secret, and might even take the initiative to leak the information.
Judging others by himself, Chen Heng felt that if it was him, there was a high probability that he would keep the information about the transaction and release it at the appropriate time to force Chen Heng, a prince, to obediently obey. This makes Chen Heng their puppet.
However, just like this, the security was greatly relaxed. There were no informants in the middle, and there were no clues left during the transmission process. There was only a piece of crystal that had been sc.r.a.pped.
It was impossible to trace it back to Chen Heng in any way.
The old man and Kana naturally realized this, and they could not help but feel a little surprised.
“Very good technique.”
The old man nodded and praised, “I didn’t expect the Violet Royal Family to have such an excellent technique.
“I don’t know if we can cooperate in this aspect. I think we need to use this technique in many places.”
He spoke with a face full of admiration, obviously realizing the value of this technique.
This method was a favorite method of the sorcerers in the sorcerer world. It could complete the transmission of information as quickly as possible, engraving the information into the brain of another, thus eliminating the process of memorizing it.
Moreover, the protection of the information was excellent. It had the value of being used in all other aspects.
“Maybe if there’s a chance.”
Chen Heng did not give a definite answer. On the surface, he was just an envoy. Naturally, he could not make decisions for the prince behind him.
The old man was very satisfied with the information provided by Chen Heng.
The strength of the King’s Council was unbelievably strong. However, the strength of the three empires was not weak either. It would be difficult to infiltrate even with the strength of the King’s Council.
Some things could only be known by the people inside. Chen Heng’s ident.i.ty was Aili’s brother. The two of them lived together in the same place. Although they did not have a good relations.h.i.+p in private, they could also learn a lot of information others did not know. And this was what the King’s Council wanted to know.
“Please go back and tell Prince Alan that we are very satisfied with the things he gave us.”
Jameson smiled and said, “If possible, I hope we can continue working together in the future.”
“It is the same for His Highness Alan.”
Chen Heng nodded and looked at the old man in front of him. Then, a hesitant look appeared on his face. “Before I left, His Highness Alan asked me to ask you a question.”
“Please ask.”
Jameson smiled and said, “Relaxed, as long as it’s not too confidential, I think I can explain it to you.”
“Was it your people who did the things on Princess Aimer?”
Chen Heng glanced at the old man before him and asked this question.
ActuaHeng himself was very curious about this question. Although he had some guesses, he still had to ask the people of the King’s Council to be sure.
“Princess Aimer?”
The old man pondered for a moment and seemed to have thought of something.
But soon, he smiled and said, “Sort of.
“But, this was not done by my people.”
As if afraid that Chen Heng would not understand, Kana explained, “There are more than twenty Elders in our council.
“The incident with Princess Aimer wasn’t done by us but by a few other Elders working together.”
“I see.”
Chen Heng nodded. He looked calm on the surface, but he was deep in thought.
More than twenty Elders. From the looks of it, factions within the King’s Council also existed.
The other Elders had their eyes on Princess Aimer and attacked her, while Jameson had his eyes on Aili. This was interesting.
Chen Heng wanted to ask Jameson what they were trying to do by deliberately capturing those multi-royal bloodlines. But after thinking about it, he decided not to ask.
After all, the two sides were still not that familiar with each other. If he asked rashly, he might not get a reply. He would naturally know when he joined them in the future and became one of their own.
Yes, Chen Heng had already decided to join the King’s Council. Of course, it was always his desire to do so. As for his previous rejection, it was natural to raise his value.
If someone immediately decided to betray their old owner when others were just tempted. Then, even if there were a good reason for it, others would inevitably look down upon it.
He wouldn’t be at ease using it. A suitable rejection would sometimes have a good effect. Chen Heng believed that there was still a chance in the future. Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he nodded to the old man. “In that case, I’ll be leaving.”
“Please give my regards to His Highness Alan for me. I hope that we can work together again next time.”
Jameson had a smile on his face. His att.i.tude was still as amiable as before as if he was his Elder. His words were also very gentle, and he did not reveal any sense of threat from the beginning to the end.
Chen Heng nodded, then turned around and walked to the side of the path, preparing to leave this place.
When he left, he could feel the gazes coming from behind him. Those were Jameson and Kana. Their gazes had always been fixed on him, never s.h.i.+fting away.
“Elder?”
Kana stood beside Jameson and watched Chen Heng’s figure gradually disappear. His eyes could not help but flicker with killing intent as he asked for instructions.
In his opinion, since Chen Heng had rejected Jameson’s offer, he had chosen another path.
“There’s no need to rush.”
Jameson waved his hand and said with a smile, “He hasn’t completely rejected us.
“I can see that he was tempted, but because of Prince Alan’s existence, he didn’t agree with us.
“But as time pa.s.ses, reality will eventually drive away the persistence in his heart.
“Is it what he wants to follow a mediocre prince and spend his life in a remote place?
“As long as he isn’t willing to live his life like this, he will come to me again sooner or later.”
“As expected of an Elder.”
Kana’s expression was respectful, but there was also confusion. “But, is he worth it?
“In the past, I have never seen you value a person so much.”
The King’s Council held a mature bloodline sublimation ceremony, which could allow the bloodline to be upgraded the day after tomorrow.
As an Elder of the King’s Council, Jameson’s subordinates did not lack geniuses with powerful bloodlines. Even though very few people had awakened royal bloodlines, they still existed.
Logically speaking, there was no need to place so much importance on an ordinary genius who had awakened royal bloodlines.
“An ordinary person who has awakened royal bloodlines is nothing, but he is different.”
Jameson glanced at Kana and said with a smile, “Even if an ordinary person has awakened a powerful bloodline, he will always be in an unstable state. Not only his personality but even his body.
“Even if such a person has awakened a powerful bloodline, he will not be able to stay alive for long. Who knows when he will die directly? Maybe he will go crazy, or his bloodline will collapse, and he will die.
“But Mr. Kling is different.”
Standing on the spot, he looked at the scenery in the distance. At this moment, he said softly, “The bloodline in his body is abnormally stable. There is no chaos like that of an awakened bloodline. This is a very rare thing.
“In this world, besides the royal bloodlines of the three empires, very few people can have such a stable bloodline awakening.”
The bloodline would be diluted from generation to generation. This was a normal evolution.
However, occasionally, there would be some mutation in the bloodline of a few people, which would lead to the bloodline awakening and greatly increase the concentration of the bloodline in the body.
Such people could obtain great power due to the awakening of their bloodlines, but at the same time, they would also become quite unstable. Bloodlines had a close connection with the origin; unstable bloodlines would also cause the origin and true spirit to become unstable.
Even if such people had powerful bloodlines and power, they would rarely have a bright future. Perhaps one day, they would be unable to control the mutation of their bloodlines, their bodies would directly collapse, and they would die.
On the other hand, the members of the three royal families did not have such problems because their bloodlines were directly inherited from their parents. Their performance was rather stable.
“To remain so stable after awakening the royal bloodline is already very rare.
“What’s even rarer is the bloodline of the Sun G.o.d.”
Jameson stood where he was and silently watched Chen Heng’s back disappear from his sight. Jameson smiled as this thought flashed through his mind.
There was naturally a reason why the King’s Council had gathered so many royal bloodlines. Among the many royal bloodlines, those that still existed today could still be dealt with. They could just directly capture people from those families.
However, those royal bloodlines that had long disappeared in the long river of history and had been weakened for G.o.d know how many years were hard to find.
Just like the bloodline of the Sun G.o.d, there were not many of them left when the Sun Empire collapsed. Now, those descendants were weaker and weaker. They had already been reduced to third-rate n.o.ble families.
Such a bloodline naturally couldn’t be called a royal family. At most, it was slightly better than ordinary n.o.ble families.
It was precise because of this that, to a certain extent, it made Chen Heng, the awakened bloodline of the G.o.d of Sun, seem so precious.
An awakened bloodline of the Sun G.o.d. The discovery of such an individual was a pleasant surprise to Jameson.
“Unfortunately, Prince Alan is still too careful.”
Seeing Chen Heng leave, Jameson returned to his senses and looked at the crystal in his hand. He couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful. “Otherwise, it would have been much easier to infiltrate the Violet Empire.”
“There will always be a chance.”
Beside him, Kana said respectfully, “Under your leaders.h.i.+p, we will be able to accomplish the goals given by the council.
“When that time comes, Elder, even among the many Elders, you would be the top figure.”
“Hahaha, I hope so.”
Jameson laughed and gave kana an appreciative look. Then, he turned around, walked to the side, and silently returned to the small town to rest.
Chen Heng silently returned alone to the small town from before. Unknowingly, the pedestrians were in a hurry. Foreign merchants were walking around the town. It was a bustling scene. Chen Heng walked around and looked at the scene.
Not long after, he walked to the tavern he had pa.s.sed by. The old th.o.r.n.y tavern was still the same as before. There was a burst of laughter from time to time. The atmosphere seemed very lively, and the business was quite good.
Through the layers of isolation, Chen Heng could see the scene inside. The mercenaries and merchants were laughing and chatting, the tavern owner was cutting meat on the counter, and the young girl named Wendy, who was serving the guests, flashed past Chen Heng’s eyes.
The layers of scenes appeared. Chen Heng smiled and did not have any intention of entering. He turned around and left.
Not long after he s.h.i.+fted his gaze, Wendy raised her head in confusion. She looked in the direction where Chen Heng had been. There was a hint of confusion between her brows.
However, at that moment, there was no one there.
“Is it my imagination?”
This thought flashed through her mind. Then, she looked at the empty scenery and shook her head silently.
The business in the tavern was very busy. Not long after, she continued to immerse herself in her busy work. She did not have the spare time to think about those things.
Chen Heng quickly left this small town. Unlike the last time he left leisurely, he left very quickly this time. He directly returned to his territory alone.
After returning to his city, Chen Heng could not help but frown. The city in front of him seemed to be a little different. There seemed to be something happening.
It was a strange atmosphere.
Chen Heng took a glance and saw many knights wearing armor walking on the streets. They were currently resting there. They were chatting and laughing, laughing wantonly.
The surrounding townsfolk looked at these knights carefully, their eyes filled with anger and fear.
Looking carefully, he could even see a few corpses.
There had been deaths in the city?
Chen Heng frowned. He had already realized something. He took a step forward and returned directly to the palace’s center.
As he walked into the palace, there was a commotion.
“Please watch your words, Mr. Yiz.”
Alice’s somewhat violent voice was heard as he walked into the palace.
In the palace, she looked at the person in front of her with some anger. Her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and there was slowly anger in them. “Your request is too much!”
“Are you questioning the great prince Aili?”
Standing in front of Alice was a tall and st.u.r.dy young man. He wore beautiful silver armor and looked very valiant. There was always a smile on his face, but his att.i.tude was very arrogant.
“No matter who you represent, this kind of request is too much!”
Alice stood in front of the young man and did not budge an inch. She shouted, “You want to hold a ceremony. Why should the innocent people of this city be sacrificed for your ceremony?”
