Time passed, and before I knew it, five years had passed.

In the past five years, Chen Heng's local reputation has become bigger and bigger, and he has gradually become known by many people.

Known to many, he is the most famous hunter in the region and is a hunter with great skill.

Of course, all this also has the credit of the forging method.

The forging method in the real world, although it is only the foundation of martial arts, is also a genuine forging method.

For those who have never exercised, this method of exercise has a good workout effect.

Chen Heng was able to make himself an excellent hunter in the past five years, and it was by relying on this kind of forging body.

In five years, he has barely completed most of the forging body, and according to real-world standards, he can be regarded as the number one person.

At least in Chen Heng's class, it is definitely the first.

Of course, this is piled up over time, and it is not a big deal in itself.

After all, he is using the experience he already has to cultivate, plus five years, if he can't reach this level, it is a little strange.

But even so, he is still far from being able to complete his forging body, and there is still a long way to go.

Chen Heng felt that if he wanted to practice like this until the forging body was perfect, it was estimated that he would have three or four years.

"I really don't know how those freaks who have been forging their bodies before they reach the age of eighteen appeared......."

After confirming his progress, Chen Heng was a little speechless, and he didn't know what to say at this time.

It can only be said that the gap between people is sometimes bigger than that between people and dogs.

Calculating the time, this year is the fifth year that Chen Heng has been here.

In this year, the originally peaceful mountain village has some movement.

"You're the most famous hunter here?"

A tall young man stood in front of Chen Heng, standing there looking at him, looking at him like this, as if he was scrutinizing.

"Hello, sir. ”

Chen Heng's face was very calm, looking at the young man's dress in front of him, his face showed some respect in a timely manner: "What do you need to serve?"

The young man in front of him was dressed in a beautiful red robe and equipped with a delicate short sword.

In the local area, red was only used by nobles, and the exquisite short sword was obviously not something that ordinary people could have.

Obviously, this group of people is either rich or noble, and most of them are from aristocratic backgrounds.

"My people and I want to catch a white deer in the mountains. ”

The young man was obviously very satisfied with Chen Heng's interest and respect, and then said, "As a reward, I will give you a large sum of money." ”

Hearing this, Chen Heng's eyes lit up.

"We're here to help. ”

With a respectful face, he looked at the young man in front of him and said softly.

Soon, with the young man in front of him and the two entourages behind him, Chen Heng quickly entered the mountain.

Walking on the road, Chen Heng was thinking about the possibility of getting rid of the youth.

In advance, he had already spoken, and the young man in front of him didn't seem to be much wary of him, and he soon found out some information.

The young man's name was Cologdo, and he was the son of a local knight.

The reason why I came here this time was to celebrate my mother's birthday, so I needed some special gifts.

A knight's child will most likely have the existence of knight cultivation in his body, and even if he doesn't, he knows some basics.

On the way, Chen Heng had already tried it.

Although Zorodo's father is a knight, his own strength does not seem to be strong, and he is already a little out of breath after just walking for a while.

If there is a fight, Chen Heng is confident that he will quickly settle the other party.

It's just that........

Chen Heng looked at the two entourages who had been following Zorondo, and finally dispelled this idea.

Solondo's strength is ordinary, but the two guards around him are clearly extraordinary.

He may not be able to do it alone.

And looking at Solondo's physique, it doesn't look like he has undergone much knightly training, and most of them don't know how exquisite knightly breathing is.

After thinking about it left and right, Chen Heng still dismissed the plan to kill the black hand.

Walking on the road, he had a respectful face on his face, explaining to Zorondo some of the things that had happened in this forest, which caused Solondo to laugh heartily from time to time, looking like this, he looked very appreciative of Chen Heng.

As for Bailu, Chen Heng also found it quickly.

After five years in the area, the forest felt like his own home, and he knew exactly what was there.

In just a few days, Sorondo got what he wanted.

Before leaving, according to the agreement, the bag full of gold coins was still in front of Chen Heng.

Chen Heng shook his head and chose to refuse.

"Why refuse?"

Sorondo was a little puzzled: "But you think I gave too little?"

"No, Your Excellency has given too much. ”

Chen Heng sighed deeply: "Mr. Solondo, you are the noblest and most glorious person I have ever seen on weekdays, it is my honor to be able to meet and get acquainted with someone like you, how can I ask for a reward." ”

Zorondo was stunned, no matter how thick-skinned Rao was, he was a little embarrassed at this time.

In normal times, he is just the son of a mere knight, although his status is better than that of civilians, but he is not much higher, when has he been praised so much.

In particular, the person who praised him was not an ordinary man, but a highly skilled and powerful hunter.

"You..... You're serious......"

His face turned red, and he was thinking about how to respond, but he heard Chen Heng in front of him speak again.

"If you don't dislike it, I'm willing to be your most loyal follower and a sharp blade in your hands. ”

I saw that in front of him, Chen Heng knelt down on one knee with a sincere face: "A noble person like you is an example for my life." ”

"Allow me to pledge my allegiance to you and clear the way for you. ”

"This ......"

Zorodo was stunned for a moment, then taken aback: "You want to follow me?"

The world's followers and allegiances are not just words.

Once you choose allegiance, you can't betray it for the rest of your life, otherwise you will be ostracized by everyone.

Of course, the so-called allegiance and following are actually the rules in the aristocratic circle, such as Chen Heng and a commoner, under normal circumstances, he is not qualified to follow a nobleman at all.

Having said that, this is not the past after all, and in times of war, any warrior who can draw a sword is welcome.

Moreover, Sorondo was not a proper nobleman.

He's just a knight's son.

Therefore, Chen Heng's sudden allegiance is actually very tempting to him.

He looked at Chen Heng's sturdy and tall body, and then recalled his brave posture against fierce beasts before, and couldn't help but nod.

In this way, Chen Heng became a follower of Zorodo.

Following Solondo, Chen Heng left his township and went to Solondo's father's territory.

He has no worries about this.

His mother, who has this body, has already died of an accident, and as for his father, he also died of a flu two years ago.

He is now alone and has few worries.

For Chen Heng's arrival, Sorondo's father welcomed him.

In recent years, there has been a shortage of soldiers everywhere, and a soldier like Chen Heng who looks like him is powerful, naturally the more the better.

Especially after Chen Heng showed that he was not inferior to those guards under him, he was even more pleasantly surprised.

Knights' domains are not free, and they also need to keep guards and followers in captivity to defend their territory, and to send troops in response to the call of their lord when needed.

It is not easy to cultivate real warriors, and the more brave warriors like Chen Heng, the better.

In this way, Chen Heng joined the territory of Sorondo's father.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, another five years had passed.

One night, Zorondo called Chen Heng to his house.

"Solo, my brother. ”

Compared to five years ago, Sorondo still looks younger, but he looks much more mature.

In the past five years, Chen Heng has not given up contact with Sorondo while working for Sorondo's father, and the two have always maintained a good relationship.

Like today, it's not once or twice when I talk secretly in the middle of the night.

This time, however, it was different.

In the spacious house, Sorondo sat alone, his face cloudy: "Can I trust you?"

"Of course, Your Excellency. ”

Chen Heng did not hesitate, knelt down on one knee, and said decisively: "As long as you give an order, I can do anything for you." ”

Looking at Chen Heng's unhesitating attitude, Suo Roondo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "I have one thing that I need you to help me consult." ”

"My father, it's dying......"

He hesitated, then spoke.

"What?"

Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, a little inexplicably surprised.

Sorondo's father, the Sicilian Knight was a true knight.

By the standards of this world, the Sicilian Knight has a good knightly education and has the talent of a knight, a knight who has awakened the life energy.

Some time ago, Chen Heng also met the Sicilian knights, and the other party returned from an expedition and looked very powerful.

There was no sign of impending death.

As if seeing Chen Heng's doubts, Zorondo sighed and continued to speak: "The use of life energy will lead to many problems in oneself, and even a significant reduction in lifespan. ”

"My father, he ......."

At this point, he sighed again and did not continue.

Chen Heng immediately understood what the other party meant.

According to his research over the years, this so-called knight uses something called life energy.

The use of life energy will make the knight extremely powerful, but at the same time, it will also cause the knight to be damaged, and even the lifespan will be greatly shortened.

Sorondo's father, the Sicilian knight, must have been like that.

"As far as I know, my father has only two years left at most......"

Sorondo sighed, his face became extremely gloomy: "And after that, Charles will inherit the Sicilian Lordship and become the new lord of this generation......."

Chen Heng immediately understood what the other party meant.
