Chen Heng clapped hands and two attendants came in with some things.

They were all of the magic items that Chen Heng had, and there were many of them.

Looking at those things, Ali and Marley immediately sat straight and their eyes widened.

Because of his sharp senses, Marley could tell that among those things, there were some that they had never seen before.

This person had even more magic items that they did not know about?

They could not help but wonder as their gazes became fiery.

"Even though we have completed our agreement this time, I am still lacking many things. I wonder if the two of you are interested in continuing to help me?" Chen Heng spoke with a smile.

Hearing those words, Ali and Marley could not help but gulp.

"This" Marley met Chen Heng's gaze and gave an excited and passionate smile, "Since Viscount Aktor has made the request, we will happily help"

As he spoke, Ali stared at him dumbfoundedly.

Ali still remembered how before they arrived here, Marley had sworn that he would never do something so tiring again.

And yet he had changed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing him like this, he did not know what to say.

However, neither Chen Heng nor Marley cared about this.

"Since it's like that, I will be troubling the two of you."

Hearing Marley's words, Chen Heng nodded and said in satisfaction, "Don't worry, as long as you are able to help me, I will make sure you are satisfied."

"That would be great," Marley replied as he grinned.

After chatting for a while, the two Sorcerers left, leaving behind Chen Heng.

Compared to before, he now had some extra books.

These were the essential books for Sorcerer Meditation.

Before, Chen Heng had asked Ali and Marley to bring food, and he had also asked them for some things related to Sorcerers.

In front of Chen Heng were the basics of Sorcerer Meditation, as well as some basic runes.

"They're similar to the Sorcerers in the Sorcerer, yet quite different"

Looking at the runes, Chen Heng frowned and thought to himself.

From how he saw it, these runes were similar to the Sorcerer legacies in the Sorcerer World.

Those Sorcerers also used Meditation to make their minds stronger and refine mental energy.

It was just that the Meditation techniques here were somewhat different.

Their Meditation relied more on external forces.

According to the records, this world's Sorcerers needed the support of various medicines to help them go into a Meditation state.

Only so could they enter that state, and under the stimulation of the medicines, they would be able to gradually grow their mental energy.

However, this was different in the Sorcerer World.

In the Sorcerer World, Meditation was supported by a complicated and dense rune system.

As a true Sorcerer in the past, Chen Heng had over 100 sets of runes, and all of them were incredibly complex and had different effects.

However, this was not the case for Sorcerers in this world; they only had one set of runes for Meditation.

In this world, apart from the high-level Sorcerers who researched high-level magic skills, most Sorcerers just relied on this one set of runes.

This was most likely the biggest difference between them, and it was a big difference.

From how Chen Heng saw it, continuously using the same runes would greatly reduce efficiency as time went on.

As such, the Sorcerer World had created different sets of runes and used those complex runes to enhance their minds.

However, this world chose another path, using all kinds of materials to support them.

This was a viable path as well, but Chen Heng could imagine that this kind of method would greatly increase one's expenditures.

It was no wonder that the Sorcerer profession in this world was hailed as a profession for nobles.

Without a rich family supporting them, it would be almost impossible to become a Sorcerer.

Apart from this, Chen Heng understood that Sorcerers' bodies were incredibly weak. Apart from some high-level Sorcerers, most Sorcerers were only a bit stronger than ordinary people.

If this was the case in the Sorcerer World, it would be unimaginable.

As Sorcerers' magic energy increased, their bodies would be strengthened by it. Even if they could not reach the level of Knights and Great Knights, they were still far stronger than ordinary people.

As such, in terms of their constitutions, the Sorcerers of this world and those of the Sorcerer World were on completely different levels.

Chen Heng was not too surprised about this.

After this, these were two different worlds, and for them to develop similar professions was already quite a coincidence.

The two worlds' resources, environments, and climate were completely different, so it was impossible that things would be exactly the same.

Moreover, this world was one with gods.

With the existence of gods, they would naturally suppress other systems.

After all, the gods would want to reign supreme. The Sorcerers had long since been targeted by the gods, which was why they had created something like the Magic Net to restrict them.

Under such conditions, this world's Sorcerers had great deficiencies and could only be suppressed day after day.

If it wasn't for the gods, after countless years, the Sorcerers would most likely improve and become a mature profession like the Sorcerers in the Sorcerer World.

Chen Heng read very quickly and had gone through the book in just a short amount of time, and he had memorized most of the contents.

As his mental energy became stronger, his memorization abilities also improved. By now, if he wanted to, he could easily and quickly memorize an incredibly thick book.

Of course, that was just memorisation. If he wanted to completely integrate the content, it would take some time.

Following this, Chen Heng got up and walked out, preparing to do training for the day.

By now, it had been half a year since he had brought people here.

Over the past half a year, he had cleared out Beastmen, opened up agricultural fields, and taken in refugees.

Of course, he did not forget to observe the south.

Just as he expected, after destroying the Malido Kingdom, the Oro Empire did not stop and continued to attack other kingdoms.

From the news from the south, the battles seemed to still be going.

Chen Heng did not know how long this would be going for, but all he knew was that he had to continuously become stronger.

The situation within the Kalo Kingdom was not very stable either.

This kingdom had many problems. Not only did it have much internal chaos because it bordered the Wastelands, but they also had to face the threat of the Outlanders.

Moreover, this kingdom was a bit too close to the Oro Empire.

From how Chen Heng saw it, the Oro Empire would attack someday, and things would become troublesome.

However, Chen Heng could do nothing about that. He could only become as strong as possible to deal with the dangers in the future.

..........

He had decided that before he was strong enough, he would keep a low profile to not attract others' attention.

...

Soon, it had been another four months.

During that time, there had been many changes in the Oro Empire in the south and even the Wastelands.

On a certain plains, a previously-desolate region now looked completely different.

Those who had come here in the past discovered that a city had suddenly appeared here.

The city was quite simple, but there were at least wooden barricades around it to defend against wild beasts.

The ones that lived within it were not humans but short Kobolds.

Kobolds continuously entered and exited, and many of them held simple weapons, such as simple wooden spears and bows.

After developing for four months, things had greatly changed.

Even though the city was quite simple, it was quite complete and was not missing anything.

Outside, not only did the patrolling Kobolds have weapons, but they also had many new tools.

Under the leadership of someone, they had learned to make nets out of ropes to hunt and fish.

Outside, many Kobolds also used simple tools to farm the land.

As a race that lived in the wilderness, Kobolds were naturally very good at finding out what foods were edible and what were poisonous.

Under a certain Kobold's leadership, they began to plant edible plants and already had some results.

At the very least, the things they had planted had begun to sprout, and it seemed that they would have a harvest in about half a year.

If anyone knew about the developments in this Kobold tribe, they would find it difficult to believe even if they saw it all themselves.

This included these humans.

Within the Kobold city, two men were led forwards under the gazes of the Kobolds in the surroundings.

"Great Sun God are these really Kobolds?"

The middle-aged man wearing grey robes looked around in disbelief, "Helu, do you think we're dreaming? I want to tell myself this is a dream, but my eyes are telling me that this is real."

Behind the middle-aged man, a man with red hair also gave a bitter smile as he spoke, "You'd best accept it, Kumir, this isn't a hallucination, nor are you dreaming; we really have been captured by Kobolds. Great Sun God, this is ridiculous."

"Yes, it really is ridiculous," Kumir sighed as he agreed.

The two of them were Wastelands adventurers, and they had come to this region to pick some specialties to sell.

Even though the Wastelands was dangerous, there were many things that could only be found in this region.

The furs, medicinal grasses, and even some ores from here were incredibly precious, which was why hunters would often come here.

As long as they were experienced and skilled enough, they would not be in much danger here.

These two people were both qualified in this regard.

Their only mistake was that they had gone a bit too far, resulting in this situation.

Thinking of how they had run into these Kobolds, Helu and Kumir looked at each other and sighed.

Before, they had run into a few Kobolds, but they had not thought too much of it.

After all, they were just a few Kobolds and were not a big threat to two experienced hunters.

Kobolds' battle power was inferior to Beastmen and humans.

In the wilderness, they usually did not move in groups, and there were usually only two or three of them.

With the two hunters' strength, defeating a few Kobolds would not be a problem.

However, what they discovered next gave them a big blow.

In the wilderness, Kobolds were all scattered and barbaric.

However, what they saw in this region was completely different.

Those creatures were indeed Kobolds, but they went out in teams. All of the teams had a strong Kobold as the captain, and there was a sense of order about them.

Just this made it so that the two hunters could not deal with them.

After all, even though humans were stronger, they were not on a completely different level.

Perhaps a single Kobold would not be able to put up much of a resistance in front of a human, but a single human would not be a match for two Kobolds.

It was impossible for the two of them to deal with ten Kobolds led by a particularly strong one.

Moreover, those Kobolds had weapons.

It was the first time they had seen such a thing in their lives.

Facing such a force, the two of them were directly captured.

They were unable to resist at all and were bound up before being brought here.

Those ropes were what the Kobolds had been preparing to use to hunt, but now they had been used on these two people.

Following this, the Kobolds brought these two captives back with them.
