In the quiet laboratory, Chen Heng looked at the test data, his face full of doubts.

Half a year ago, his hunch came true.

Half a year ago, the inexplicable strength in his body grew, which really had something to do with the so-called power of faith.

And judging from the data, the relationship is not small.

After learning of this result, Chen Heng looked confused.

The materialist education from modern society and the cognitive concept of wizards raised a strong sense of contrast in his heart at this moment, so that when he got the result, he was a little surprised.

It took a while for him to recover.

I have to say that faith alone produces real power, no matter what, this is still a bit idealistic, completely contrary to common sense.

His strength has indeed increased inexplicably, but what is the source of this increased power?

Chen Heng carefully tested it, and he himself had not changed from before, whether it was his body structure or mana, he was still in the same situation as before.

But his power really increased.

That's a bit unscientific.

Despite the many crossings, in most cases, the law of conservation of energy still exists.

With the blessing of the power of faith, where does this part of the power that has inexplicably increased in his body come from?

It can't really come out of nowhere, right?

Or can faith really be eaten? Can it be turned into real power?

So what is his principle, and what are the rules?

Why do some people can, and others can't?

Inexplicable questions filled Chen Heng's mind.

Subconsciously, he wanted to explore the principle of this, but he didn't know where to start.

To put it bluntly, this thing is beyond his capabilities.

If he is not at the expense of studying materials and the operation of runes, then it is really a bit excessive to explore the power of the mind such as faith.

Forget it.

Chen Heng had a headache, and finally suspended his research.

If he continued to study like this, he felt that he could not study anything, but his hair might be in jeopardy, and perhaps he could experience the feeling of loneliness at a young age.

Although it is said that this is not an ontology, and it doesn't matter about the image, but this kind of experience, whether you can or not, try not to do it.

In addition to the use of the power of faith, other aspects of research have some eyebrows.

For example, the way to leave.

In the past six months, Chen Heng has done a lot.

He had to be busy with his own experiments, and he had to take care of the little boys, and he had to go out on expeditions with the mercenaries of Helo occasionally.

What a busy man.

Of course, when it comes to going out on an adventure, I only go to see it when it's new at the beginning, and then I don't go much afterward.

After all, as a rich man, he just needs to wait for Heluo's group to come up with the results, and there is no need to run by himself.

It also saved him a lot of trouble.

Therefore, it is difficult to move an inch without money.

With the support of many classics and research materials, Chen Heng finally has some eyebrows.

It seems that this place has also been visited by outsiders like Chen Heng in the past, and he is also a wizard.

As for why, how?

At this moment, in Chen Heng's laboratory, a thick spell book was still there, and several spell templates were recorded on it.

They found it in a cave, and when they found it, they found a lot of things, but only this thing was still preserved, barely usable.

Fortunately, this spell book was made of demonized magic iron, otherwise it would have been broken a long time ago, how could it be so tenaciously preserved and found by Chen Heng.

There are three spells listed on it, Psychic Deterrence, Burning Flame, and Flame Spirit.

Looking at it this way, the wizard who left this spell book behind was probably still a man who played with fire.

I don't know how I got here.

And from the records of this unlucky senior, Chen Heng also found something.

Among them was the unlucky man's account and speculation about the area.

According to the unlucky man, this area is not like a normal world, but rather a unique and man-made little world.

This kind of small world is often specially created by ancient wizarding organizations to serve as a base or to conduct various experiments.

And this small world is probably just like that, specially designed to complete some kind of ulterior experiment.

According to the speculation of this senior, this so-called experiment is likely to be related to the legend of the Demon King Warrior.

The reason is that every trialist who enters this small world seems to experience a demon king riot and the rise of warriors.

According to the other party's speculation, this should be some kind of trial and experiment.

Those who enter this small world will passively conduct trials and open a chapter in the rise of the Demon King.

Then came the rise of the warriors and the defeat of the Demon King.

Only by defeating the Demon King, world peace, and the trial will end, and they will be able to get out.

Of course, these are all speculations, and whether they are true or not, he does not know.

Because at the time of the recording of these things, it was clear that he hadn't really left.

As for whether this senior really left, Chen Heng didn't know.

In the places where these places were found, they did not find the body of the unknown wizard.

It could be dead, or it could be gone.

Only God knows about that........

However, after obtaining the wizard's notes, Chen Heng worked hard to study in this area, and to some extent, it could be regarded as some results.

At least he felt that most of the results of this senior's research should be correct, and as for the rest, because there was too little information, it could only be regarded as unknown.

It remains to be verified by him in the future.

In other words, he needed more materials and information.

Standing in front of the laboratory, Chen Heng's brain hurt a little.

This recent series of research has really made him a little uncomfortable.

Walking out of the lab, he walked outside to the courtyard.

The courtyard outside, half a year has passed, and now there are a lot of changes.

The area where there was only grass is now full of small saplings, and some of them have grown well, and the scenery of the whole garden is acceptable.

Not far away, there were shouts from time to time, and if you looked closely, it was a few children with shovels in their hands, digging holes there, ready to plant trees one by one.

Yes, the trees in this courtyard are basically planted by the group of orphans adopted by Chen Heng.

This is not a waste of labor, anyway, even if those children are idle, they will only be idle and panic, it is better to use waste and let them do some work.

This can be regarded as optimizing the allocation of labor, so as not to waste it.

As for child abuse and the use of child labor, Chen Heng does not admit it.

With the situation in this world, how many children want to be used and don't have a chance, and it's good to have something to do.

Besides, there is no juvenile protection law in this world.

After staying in the courtyard for a while, Chen Heng sighed and then walked out.

Outside the courtyard, the old butler he hired was already waiting there.

"Master, the group of mercenaries is here again. ”

Standing there, the old housekeeper looked at Chen Heng with a dark face and said, he was very unhappy to see this.

"The mercenaries are here again?"

Chen Heng thought for a moment before he knew who the other party was referring to.

In the past half a year, Chen Heng has not broken the contact with Heluo's group of mercenaries in addition to experiments.

Many times, he would pay the other party to explore various places, and ask the other party to bring him some antiquities, or classics from various places.

Because he was generous, he was happy to give money, and the things he asked for were not too difficult, Helo and they liked Chen Heng very much, and they would come to him from time to time.

But the old butler didn't like them very much.

After all, every time they came over, they would ask for money from Chen Heng.

Although the money is not his, it is also uncomfortable to be coaxed by this group of mercenaries in vain.

There aren't many good people like Master Ed, and you mercenaries still come to cheat him out of money, aren't you afraid of going to hell after death!

Yes, coaxing.

In the eyes of the old butler, the actions of Helo's group of people are cheating money.

Just take some things that have been collected from various places, which can neither be eaten nor used, and are of no use at all, and you have to take so much money from here, what is this not coaxing?

The old housekeeper felt that since he had become the housekeeper here, he had an obligation to help his master and blast away the group of liars.

But it's a pity that on the surface, Chen Heng has a good relationship with that group of mercenaries, he has the heart to do something, but he can't directly blow the host's guests away.

"Let's go, let's go. ”

Patting the upright old butler on the shoulder, Chen Heng left with a smile: "Go see our guests." ”

Pulling the old butler, he walked forward.

His manor was very high, and beyond the courtyard there was a long hallway, and then into the drawing-room.

In the living room, Helo and a few people were already waiting there.

Nearly half a year has passed, and Chen Heng has not changed much, but these people have changed quite a lot.

Helo put on a new leather armor, and the whole person looked a lot more energetic.

George was wearing a robe and a smile on his face, but there seemed to be a missing finger on his right hand, as if he had been painted on an expedition.

Ella, the only girl in the trio, has also changed a lot, and now she seems to look much better than before, and she has become more dressed.

In general, the spirit of the three of them looks much better than before, and it seems that life has been quite moist in the past six months.

And it's no wonder.

After all, after taking so much money from Chen Heng, their lives have improved a lot more or less.

When the living conditions go up, the mental state will naturally improve.

In the living room, Chen Heng walked in.

The three of them hurriedly stood up.

"Long time no see. ”

Chen Heng stepped forward with a smile and gave them a hug, looking very enthusiastic.

"I haven't seen you in over a month, my friend. ”

Helo stepped forward and greeted Chen Heng with a smile.

"Well, more than a month. ”

Chen Heng nodded, but he didn't care about the time.

He cares more about something else than time.

"Let me see, what did you bring me this time?"

He looked at the three Helo in front of him, swept behind them, and finally focused his gaze on the box.

With his acumen, he soon discovered what the three Helo had brought with him.

That's how it used to be.

The three of them are still very honest, and they rarely come to Chen Heng except for when they have a harvest.

As for fighting the autumn wind or something, they probably won't be able to pull down their faces, and they won't be able to lose this face.

"It's a new cargo. ”

Herlo spoke, and then behind him George and the two stepped forward and opened the box behind him.

There was a soft thud, and the box was quickly opened, revealing its contents.

It was a red crystal stone, which looked very special, full of a red luster, and it looked like there was blood flowing in it, which was very unique.

It feels like blood has clotted into a spar, and it's beautiful.

"This is ......"

Looking at this red crystal stone, Chen Heng's heart moved, but he couldn't help it.

He stepped forward, to the front of the box, and reached out to touch the red hedron.

A warm, very warm feeling comes from the palm of the hand, giving people a very comfortable feeling, not like touching a cold crystal stone, but like touching a heart, very special.

Let's not talk about his specific value, just this feeling is worth surprising.

"How?"

Herlo touched his head.

Half a year has passed, and his hair has become thinner, and I don't know why.

"This thing was collected from outside by one of my men, and I don't know what it is. ”

He touched his head and said, "I look special, so I made a special trip to send it to you." ”

In half a year, not only did Chen Heng change from a wandering wizard to the owner of the manor, but he was also promoted to the head of the big mercenary group, and in addition to George, he also had a large number of junior brothers.

However, although the special trip he said is true, the purpose should be to find money.

After all, the scale of the mercenary group has increased, but there are more places to spend money.

If he didn't find a few more places to get money, he would be in trouble.

"Something good, I want it. ”

Chen Heng nodded and said casually: "If you encounter something similar in the future, send someone over directly." ”

When the words fell, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Chen Heng, Heluo stretched out his hand, a little embarrassed: "Then ....... this money?"

"If this is ......"

Chen Heng opened his mouth casually, and before he finished speaking, he saw the old housekeeper on the side take a step forward and block him directly.

"Master, if this matter is to be discussed, it is better to let the old man talk about it. ”

The old housekeeper took a step forward, looked at Chen Heng and said respectfully.

He had already seen that Helo and the others were not pleasing to their eyes, and took advantage of this opportunity to run out immediately.

Otherwise, according to his understanding of Chen Heng, I am afraid that the other party will give as much price as he says.

"That's ...... Okay, too. ”

Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, and did not object, but just waved his hand directly, asking people to move things to his laboratory.

No matter how the price is negotiated, the thing is still wanted.

Especially this thing.

"How's it going out there lately?"

Next, he continued to chat with Helo.

After all, it's the boss, and you don't need the two of them to do such a trivial thing as bargaining, just go down.

The two of them walked out of the living room and went for a walk in the courtyard.

All around, children were walking around, and after planting trees, they were already playing happily on the side, with smiles on their faces.

Looking at this scene, Helo's face couldn't help but smile, looking very happy.

However, listening to Chen Heng's words, he shook his head: "It's not very easy." ”

"Recently, there have been more monsters in the jungle.......

Facing Chen Heng, he spoke.

I don't know when the monsters in the jungle began to appear.

This area was normal at first, and there were no monsters.

But as time passed, monsters appeared, and there were more and more of them.

Half a year ago, when Chen Heng first came to this place, the scale of the monsters was already quite large, let alone now.

According to Helo, if the monsters in the various dense forests are pulled out directly, I am afraid that they will be enough to overwhelm several kingdoms.

It's a terrifying thing.

These monsters have a serious impact on people's lives.

Not to mention the big ones, just in terms of people's livelihood, many people who rely on the resources in the dense forest for their livelihood are now considered to have fallen into blood mold.

There are many monsters in the dense forest waiting to be fed, do you dare to go in and try one?

I'm afraid I don't want to deliver food to others.

However, in this case, mercenary groups like Helo are slowly developing one by one.

On the one hand, many kingdoms have issued bounties, and on the other hand, people in many places can't survive, so they have joined mercenary groups.

But even so, many small mercenary groups are not happy.

It's okay to be like this.

After all, they can barely say that there is someone behind them, and they are covered by the gold master, which can be regarded as an existence that is envied by many mercenary groups.

"Alas......"

After chatting for a long time, Helo sighed deeply and felt that people's livelihood was difficult.

I don't know why he's so sentimental as a mercenary leader.

After a few moments, the old butler and George also came over.

But it doesn't look too good-looking.

Looking at it like this, this wave of both sides failed to achieve their goals, can it be regarded as a lose-lose battle?

Chen Heng watched with interest, chatted with George and the two again, talked about the old for a while, and then said goodbye.

"How much money did you just cut?"

Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, thinking back to George's face, Chen Heng asked with interest.

In front of him, the old butler looked indifferent, and seemed to have done some trivial things.

"That's just half of it. ”

"Then they must be sad. ”

Chen Heng smiled, as if he was very happy.

Of course, this matter is not actually on his mind.

Full price or half price is nothing to him, just a trivial thing.

Of course, this is also because it is easy for him to make money.

If it were a magic stone, he wouldn't be like this.

At that time, it is estimated that it will be more picky than the old housekeeper.

After Heluo and his party were completely gone, Chen Heng immediately returned to his laboratory.

Quiet and spacious laboratory, on the tall test bench, a red spar is already there.

A faint crimson glow bloomed, illuminating the neighborhood in a vibrant hue.

Chen Heng approached step by step, with a look of joy on his face.
