Chapter 726: Chapter 726 – Chaos
“There’s no other way...”
Charlie was also helpless. “The number of simulation points I have is still too little. This is the best I can do.”
Not everyone was like Chen Heng, who had endless simulation points. Among the owners of the marks, Charlie was only an ordinary person. He could not spend freely.
Even the ident.i.ty in front of him had been gathered through gritted teeth. It would be impossible to bear such a huge expenditure if it were an ordinary world. However, this world is different.
“This world walks the path of bloodlines. Although the bloodline in your body will not affect your future growth, it will more or less affect other aspects.”
Chen Heng glanced at him and said, “If there’s a chance, change the bloodline in your body as soon as possible.”
For people from the World of G.o.ds, increasing their strength was not like the people in this world. They could only rely on their bloodline, but they were also affected.
In the eyes of outsiders, a low bloodline was a low bloodline. Naturally, therefore, it would affect many things. Perhaps it would not affect Charlie’s final achievement, but it was more or less a problem.
Charlie nodded to this point. Then, after thinking for a moment, he expressed that he understood.
“Regarding this, I already have some ideas. I was planning to try some experiments recently.”
Charlie thought for a while and then said, “It’s just nice to meet you again, Mr. Chen Heng.”
“If there’s anything you need, you can ask.”
Chen Heng glanced at him and then said, “As long as it’s not too excessive, I think I can help you think of a way.”
“Thank you very much.”
Charlie lowered his head, his expression very respectful. A moment later, Charlie walked out of the palace. When he left, he still had a thoughtful look on his face.
“Mr. Chen Heng’s strength is probably much stronger than I imagined.”
He looked at the palace behind him and recalled the scene just now. At this moment, this thought could not help but flash through his mind.
To become a prince of the Violet Empire and directly inherit the bloodline of the ancestor and the power of the entire empire, the number of simulation points consumed was not small.
According to Charlie’s estimation, the cost was at least fifty thousand simulation points. It was undoubtedly a huge number.
No one other than those G.o.ds could take it out at the current stage. Even if it was those G.o.ds, how many would be willing to take out this simulation point just for an ident.i.ty?
Probably not. This was only a side display of strength from another point of view. What the other party wanted to do made Charlie even more concerned.
What was Mr. Chen Heng’s purpose in having so many people in this world and spending many simulation points to buy an ident.i.ty? Could he earn back the investment?
Various thoughts flashed through Charlie’s mind, and he could not help but have doubts. However, at this stage, these doubts were not important.
Anyway, he did not need to know so much at the moment. That was enough as long as he knew that following the other party would greatly benefit him. As for the rest, he had no way to think about it, nor could he stop it.
Time continued to pa.s.s. Prince Alan had accepted a newcomer as his bodyguard. This matter itself did not attract much attention. Although there was news that the newcomer’s bloodline was somewhat poor, it was not a big deal.
As the empire’s prince, he naturally had people sent from within the empire to protect him. These were the main forces.
As for the guards that he had recruited, they were not important in themselves. If His Highness Alan was willing to cause trouble, he could just go ahead.
No one cared about this matter. Charlie pa.s.sed this period smoothly and began to work hard to train and temper his body.
This body of his possessed a certain amount of bloodline. According to Charlie’s estimation, after activating his bloodline, he would not need to worry for the time being until he reached Second Rank. Then, he would be able to advance very quickly.
After the Second Rank, he would have to face a difficult problem. The difficulty of advancing would slowly increase. However, this was something that would happen later.
At the current stage, he only needed to slowly activate the bloodline in his body. That would be enough.
He worked hard slowly. Using the convenience of his ident.i.ty and the relations.h.i.+p that Chen Heng had given him, he gathered resources from all over the place and slowly strengthened his strength.
The process was very smooth. Charlie did not have anything to worry about. He stayed there peacefully. But soon, his matter came.
“His Highness is calling for you.”
Another morning, Alice, wearing a long dress, came to Charlie’s head. After some time, she had gotten to know Charlie well, and her att.i.tude toward him was much better now.
“Please tell His Highness that I will be there soon.”
Charlie nodded respectfully and said seriously. Charlie was slightly surprised by Chen Heng’s sudden summons, but he was already mentally prepared.
During this period, he enjoyed the resources that Chen Heng had given him, including all kinds of rare materials and secret techniques, as well as some ancient books that only the royal family had. All of them had been opened to him. This greatly enriched his understanding of this world. These were all simple rewards and gifts.
However, Charlie also knew that this world had no free lunch. Chen Heng had given him so many things, so naturally, there were things that he needed to do.
This time, it was probably the beginning. He took a deep breath and strode towards Chen Heng’s palace. The scenery had changed when he walked to the palace again in just half a month.
At this moment, Chen Heng was sitting in front of him. He was writing at a desk, dealing with some matters. Chen Heng was the empire’s prince and had a certain number of territories and subjects.
These were his property, but he didn’t pay much attention to them in the past and handed them over to others. However, now that Chen Heng had arrived, he had picked them up and was ready to take care of them seriously.
Seeing Charlie walk in, he put the pen and paper in his hand and waved at Charlie, indicating for him to come forward.
“It has been a while. However, it seems that you have recovered quite well.”
He smiled. His att.i.tude was the same as before, and his expression was warm.
“This is thanks to your care. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would still be busy.”
Charlie lowered his head and said respectfully.
“Of course, I’ll take care of you, but it’s mainly because of your hard work. There’s no need to be modest.”
Chen Heng shook his head and said, “I’m looking for you this time because I need your help to do something.”
Sure enough. Charlie nodded secretly, but his expression did not change. Instead, he maintained a respectful expression and said, “Please instruct me.”
“I need some things. I want you to collect some for me.”
Chen Heng glanced at him, “Of course, don’t use my name in the end.”
Charlie instantly understood. A moment later, he left the palace again. The task Chen Heng gave him was not difficult but very simple. It was just to collect some corpses with special bloodlines.
As for what kind of corpse it was, Chen Heng did not give a specific answer. He only mentioned one, saying that the more precious it was, the better. This mission might be a little difficult in other places, but it was very simple in this world.
After all, in this world, bloodlines were revered. Any strong person had an extraordinary bloodline. What Chen Heng wanted was not a living person. It was just a simple corpse. It was not difficult to find it. He just did not know what he wanted these things for.
This thought flashed through Charlie’s mind. He knew that since Chen Heng had given him this mission and instructed him not to use Chen Heng’s name, it was most likely because he did not want others to know.
As for what it was for, he had some guesses in his heart. It was most likely for the ritual of bloodline upgrading and purification. Corpses that contained special bloodlines could only be used in bloodline experiments. They were not very valuable in other aspects. Charlie pondered and gradually left this area, slowly walking out.
Chen Heng looked at the doc.u.ments in front of him in the palace, still processing them. Collecting corpses with special bloodlines was naturally to improve himself.
He had the Heaven-Devouring Scripture, which could devour other bloodlines to improve himself. It would be a pity if he didn’t use it. But using it directly was a bit troublesome.
This method was fine in other worlds, but once it was exposed in this world, it would cause more trouble. Not to mention other things, the Violet royal family would be in turmoil, and they might even ask him to hand it over.
Therefore, Chen Heng thought about it for a moment and decided to hand this matter over to Charlie, a traveler. At least, compared to Alice and the others, the possibility of him keeping a high-level secret from the royal family was close to nil.
The confidentiality was good, and that was enough. If anything happened, they could directly push the blame onto him.
Presumably, he would not mind. This was a good candidate. There would be similar dirty work to be done later. Chen Heng was prepared to hand it over to Charlie and let him take it. It could be said that he had made the most of it.
Chen Heng sat there alone for some thoughts. Then, a moment later, the sound of footsteps came from outside again. Alice walked in from outside the palace.
The faint sunlight shone on the ground, illuminating Alice’s entire body. It made her look even more charming. Her long purple hair fell, making her seem a little mysterious.
“Is there any news about Princess Aimer?”
Hearing Alice’s footsteps coming in, Chen Heng’s expression did not change. He did not even raise his head as he spoke. Although his words were calm, they gave off a unique dignity.
“There was news just now.”
Compared to Chen Heng, Alice’s expression was particularly grave. In fact, to a certain extent, it was even somewhat ugly. “Just yesterday, Princess Aimer’s convoy was attacked. The area has already become flat ground. Traces of a Monarch have appeared.”
Chen Heng’s hand that was holding the brush paused. It seemed that he was also somewhat surprised by this news.
The so-called Monarch could be considered a peak existence in this world. His strength level was around the Seventh Rank. In the World of G.o.ds, he would be an Epic-level existence. In this world, he was considered a peak existence.
Although the three great empires inherited from their ancestors, on the surface, the peak powerhouses were basically at this level.
“Where is Princess Aimer herself?”
Chen Heng was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth again and asked directly.
“She has disappeared. There is no trace of her.”
The corners of Alice’s mouth were bitter, and her expression was somewhat unsightly.
Ding.
A crisp sound could be heard from where she stood. In front of her, Chen Heng suddenly stood up and slowly dropped the pen in his hand. He stood there with a serious expression on his face. “Send someone to investigate immediately.
“If there’s any news, come and reply immediately.”
“Yes.”
Alice’s expression was also very solemn. She left the place immediately and walked out of the palace.
Watching Alice’s figure leave, Chen Heng stood alone on the spot and silently pondered. This incident was not simple.
Aimer’s full name was Gil Aimer. She was the princess of the Gilna Empire. This was the princess of the royal family who had the same status as Chen Heng. She was also a descendant of the three great empires and had inherited the ancestral bloodline.
Of course, to Chen Heng, she had another ident.i.ty. She was the fiancee of Chen Heng’s elder brother, the first prince of the Violet Empire.
