Fantasy Simulator - Chapter 333

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Life Knight cultivation methods were great secrets in this world—even for noble families, only a small portion of people could obtain his kind of legacy.

This was evidenced through Chen Heng’s own experiences.

The Hatim family that Chen Heng’s body was from was a powerful noble family in the Malido Kingdom.

However, even so, wanting to obtain the life power legacy was incredibly difficult. One had to experience many trials and tests to obtain it.

As for Chen Heng’s past identity, he had failed at the very first level of trials.

It was evident how difficult it was.

If that was the case even for the Hatim family, that would be even more so for others.

For other people, just obtaining the life power cultivation method was difficult enough.

As such, for these young men to be able to obtain this legacy, it was an incredibly good thing for them.

That was why they valued this opportunity so much, to the point that they spent all day and night training, not daring to stop.

That was why it was very difficult to rise up in this world and even rarer to obtain higher-level power.

If these people missed this opportunity, there would not be a similar opportunity in the future.

Of course, the filtering methods that Chen Heng had set up was one of the reasons.

He did not just leave these people be but set up many tests.

If they did not pass a test, they would immediately be chased out and lose the right to obtain the legacy.

For Chen Heng, he did not need any slackers. If he gave them the opportunity but they let it slip by, those people might as well just give up.

This was even if they had enough talent.

Before, many people had been eliminated by Chen Heng like this. When they left, they were all sobbing with great sorrow and pain.

However, Chen Heng did not allow himself to be softhearted.

After all, giving them an opportunity in the first place was great kindness.

If they did not value this opportunity instead slacked off, they did not deserve any pity for being eliminated.

As Chen Heng walked past, the young men hurriedly stopped and bowed towards him with respectful gazes.

Chen Heng nodded back in response before slowly walking on.

Soon, he arrived at a room.

“My father has sent news…” 

A young man looked surprised as he looked at Chen Heng, “This is his letter for you.”

That young man was Jenri.

It was noon, and he was still busying about here.

This made sense—after all, there were refugees continuously flowing in, creating many matters to be taken care of.

Even though there was not anything big, there was no end to the small matters.

Moreover, Chen Heng did not have many managers—this was not something he could do much about.

In times like this, there were fewer and fewer literate people. As for people who knew maths and management, they were even rarer.

Even though as time passed many roaming Knights had come to join him, they were only good for fighting and not managing.

That was why Jenri and the others were incredibly busy and worked to the late hours of the night almost every day.

Of course, from how this world’s people saw this, this was a good thing.

Many people wanted to have this opportunity but could not obtain it.

Jenri did not feel dissatisfied either and now treated this place as his home.

“A letter from uncle?” 

Hearing Jenri’s words, Chen Heng nodded and felt a bit surprised.

Jenri’s father, Siriv, was Chen Heng’s body’s uncle.

Even though he had established himself here, he and Siriv had stayed in contact.

After all, this was the Kalo Kingdom, which was a foreign land to Chen Heng and the others.

Only by having the support of native factions would he be able to develop well.

The Arlan family that Siriv was in was a good example of this.

Moreover, Siriv was this body’s uncle.

He was someone worth keeping close from every angle.

Because of this, every month or so, Chen Heng would write a letter to Siriv, telling him about the situation here.

Siriv would also reply and have people send letters to Chen Heng.

As such, Chen Heng should not have been surprised to hear about Siriv sending a letter.

The reason why he was surprised was because Siriv had sent his usual letter only a few days ago, and now he had sent a new one.

Chen Heng immediately sensed that something was off.

As such, standing in front of Jenri, Chen Heng opened the letter and began to read it.

The contents of the letter were quite simple, but they caused Chen Heng to frown.

“What is it?” Jenri could not help but ask.

“Have a look for yourself,” Chen Heng said as he smiled and handed the letter over.

This was a way of expressing his trust.

After receiving the letter, Jenri began to read through it seriously.

Soon, his expression also changed.

“The Dusk Church!” he exclaimed.

Within the letter, Siriv explained the recent happenings to Chen Heng.

They had discovered traces of the Dusk Church on the border of the Kalo Kingdom.

This was the World of supreme-rulers, and in previous ages, supreme-rulers had reigned in the world and left behind many legacies and churches.

The Dusk Church was one of them.

However, compared to the other churches, the Dusk Church was quite notorious.

It was one that liked to make blood sacrifices.

Blood sacrifices in and of themselves were not too bad—in fact, even some ‘good’ churches made blood sacrifices as well.

However, the problem was that the Dusk Church’s blood sacrifices were different.

Their blood sacrifices were incredibly cruel: it was said that before making the sacrifice, they would use all kinds of methods to torment and humiliate the sacrifice, amplifying the fear and hatred in their hearts, and then sacrifice them to the Dusk supreme-ruler

Moreover, they liked to sacrifice higher-level lifeforms.

This included nobles with supreme bloodlines, Life Knights, and Priests of other churches…

It seemed that the Dusk Church believed that such sacrifices would please their supreme-ruler even more.

That was why the Dusk Church was so hated.

In fact, as soon as they were heard of to be in a certain region, many people would clamor for them to be killed.

That was the reason why Siriv had sent this letter: They had discovered traces of the Dusk Church in the border of the Kalo Kingdom.

This might just be a coincidence, or it could be that some Dusk Church Priests really had entered the Kalo Kingdom.

No matter what it was, they had to be wary.

That was why Siriv had sent this letter to let Chen Heng know.

After all, for nobles, they had to be on their guard against such an existence.

“Looks like there are going to be some waves in the Kalo Kingdom,” Chen Heng shook his head and thought to himself.

“Where are Herdosiri and the others?” Chen Heng thought for a moment before asking.

“Sir Herdosiri is defending a castle outside and should return tomorrow,” Jenri replied.

“I see.” Chen Heng nodded and did not say anything else.

Following this, he did not go anywhere else and sat there with Jenri to take care of various administrative matters.

The next day, an army slowly drew near.

The army was not too big and only had the aura of a few hundred people. However, it still seemed quite mighty—most people had weapons and armor.

Most of it was leather armor, but there was also some armor made of scales and even wood.

However, even so, this was better than the armies of other rulers, whether it was in terms of equipment or discipline.

At the front of the army was a young man.

The young man was very tall and wore exquisite black armor.

Soon, the army arrived outside of the town and set up camp there.

“Welcome back,” Chen Heng had personally come to receive them.

After a year, Herdosiri was still the same as before: He was tall and valiant-looking and seemed to be in good condition.

This was the same for Lamu as well.

This was quite normal—after all, the two of them were Life Knights.

Not only were Life Knights stronger than normal humans, but they also had longer lifespans as well.

Apart from this, they were also in their prime.

“How were your gains this time?” Chen Heng smiled as he asked them.

“Not too bad,” Herdosiri smiled and replied, “During this period of time, the Beastmen in the surroundings have significantly decreased. It seems that your actions have dealt a great blow to them.”

Herdosiri seemed quite excited.

A year ago, this area had still been filled with Beastmen, and there had been many powerful Beastmen tribes.

In order to make sure that his territory could have a stable footing in this region, and to reduce the threats, Chen Heng had sent out Herdosiri and the others to continuously kill and drive out the Beastmen.

In the past, Chen Heng had even personally acted before.

The might of a peak Third Ring Sorcerer acting was incredibly stupefying.

That time, he had single handedly annihilated a single Beastman tribe and directly killed over 1,000 Beastmen.

Following this, the Beastmen in this region had all been swept out, and they were no longer able to remain in this region.

That was one of the reasons why the Hatim Territory had been able to develop to such an extent.

The Kalo Kingdom did not lack land, but it lacked land that was safe from wild beasts and Beastmen.

Chen Heng’s actions increased the area of the Hatim Territory that was liveable, creating more inhabitable land.

This had massive benefits.

The most direct benefit was that there was more land he could use.

Moreover, he could create passages from the Hatim Territory to other regions.

Compared to other kingdoms, the Kalo Kingdom had a small population.

On the other hand, other kingdoms had quite large populations, and they definitely had many people living in poverty or other difficult circumstances.

If the Hatim Territory could open up enough agricultural land and recruit those people, they would be able to develop their territory’s power.

Apart from this, because the Beastmen had been repelled, more and more merchant groups began to come to this region to do business again..
