Chapter 738: Chapter 738 – The Sense of Threat in the Fog

“In other words, we are short of money?”

Standing in the same place, Chen Heng looked at Alice in front of him and said.

“Although there are some differences, you are right to say so.”

Alice nodded respectfully, but at this time, her face gradually became a little serious. “If you don’t stop the acquisition, our funds will soon be strained.

“At that time, perhaps we would face another new problem.”

She said this with a very serious attitude. Chen Heng did not comment and only said, “How much tax do we collect from the city every year?”

“About five thousand purple coins.”

Alice thought for a moment and finally gave a positive answer.

In Chen Heng’s territory, Alice not only took care of Chen Heng’s daily life but also managed the private property for him. She was well aware of how much Chen Heng’s territory was and how much tax the territory could collect each year.

Of course, Chen Heng was also aware of this. He glanced at Alice and thought for a moment before continuing, “I understand.

“I’ll think of a way to solve this problem.

“For now, don’t stop the acquisition.”

He spoke softly and gave the following instructions.

Alice nodded. After a while, she turned around and left, preparing to go to other places to get busy. Only Chen Heng was left in the huge hall.

As for Charlie, he had already gone down to do his work. As Chen Heng’s bodyguard, he had a lot of things to do. He was not as busy as Alice.

Chen Heng stood up and prepared to walk out. Along the way, the maids and guards around Chen Heng bowed respectfully when they saw him.

The changes in Chen Heng’s body did not seem to cause any effect. This was the effect of spiritual power. To prevent any changes, Chen Heng used spiritual power to put a layer of protection on himself, allowing the people around him to filter his appearance automatically.

Even if Alice were standing in front of him and could recognize who he was, when she looked at him, she would still have an inexplicable hazy feeling.

Chen Heng was still thinking about the various problems he was facing.

The financial problems were still manageable. The so-called lack of money was a lack of resources.

The natives of this world might face great difficulty, but it was still fine for those who came from another world. Let alone Chen Heng, even if Charlie were to go out, he would probably be able to come up with a bunch of methods to raise funds, such as selling potions, formulas, spells, etc.

All of these could be done, and it would be extremely profitable.

Chen Heng was already prepared. After some time, he would first take out a few potion formulas and build a few simple production lines in his city, specifically for the production.

This world was powerful, but it relied mainly on the bloodline. As for other aspects, it couldn’t be said that it didn’t have them, but it was also relatively crude.

The potion formulas that Chen Heng had learned from the various worlds could be considered an absolutely rare product to this world.

In addition to his title as a prince, he could mobilize all sorts of resources within the Violet Empire’s official chamber of commerce. Presumably, the initial sales wouldn’t be a big problem.

This problem was still relatively easy to solve for the time being. However, the problem with the King’s Council was a difficult one.

Chen Heng had already accepted the gifts that the other party had sent. Now that he had consumed all of them, it was unlikely he would be able to return them.

Then, should he fulfill the other party’s request? This was a problem.

To Chen Heng, fulfilling his promise was secondary. The key was not to let others hold any evidence against him. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome.

Including the subsequent contact with the Kings’ Council, it would be best to completely cut off contact with him and not let others suspect him.

“Looks like I have to set up an alias.”

Chen Heng rubbed the space between his brows. At this moment, this thought flashed through his mind.

A few days later.

Chen Heng transformed into Kling and once again arrived at that small town. He did not go through so many steps this time compared to the previous time.

When Chen Heng had just stepped into the small town, someone immediately noticed him. A pale-faced youth who stood there smiled at Chen Heng.

“Mr. Kling, you’re here.”

“You look like you’ve been waiting for me here for a long time?”

Looking at the young man in front of him, Chen Heng raised his head with a surprised expression. Chen Heng recognized him.

When Elena had brought him to the King’s Council’s base, besides Pru, who had attacked him, the young man in front of him was also one of the people sitting around the bonfire.

His name seemed to be Kana?

“We will record everyone who has entered the town.”

Kana explained to Chen Heng and then changed the topic. “Please follow me.”

Chen Heng nodded and did not say anything. He followed the young man in front of him and slowly walked forward.

As they walked into the town in front of them, the hazy feeling of being watched by something appeared again. It was as if someone was hiding in the dark and watching his every move.

This was the enchantment that enveloped the small town. It was likely that the record that Kana mentioned also originated from this enchantment. The moment Chen Heng stepped into the small town, the enchantment caught Chen Heng’s aura, so it immediately exposed him.

Chen Heng could not help but think at this moment. This time, he did not hide when he entered the small town. If he did his best to hide, would this enchantment be able to detect him? He was curious about this.

As he entered the town, the pedestrians around him walked around in a hurry. The place seemed to be bustling, and it didn’t seem to match the status of a remote town.

But overall, it didn’t seem to be much different from the last time Chen Heng came. The only thing that surprised Chen Heng was that the pedestrians around him walked in a hurry, but no one seemed to notice them, directly ignoring them.

From its looks, it seemed that the enchantment had blocked their existence, so the people around them could not notice their existence at all.

After walking for a while, Chen Heng stopped in front of a tavern for a moment. In the tavern, the girl named Wendy was still busy inside, taking care of business.

The tavern owner was holding a sharp knife, cutting the meat there. A slight friction sound was heard.

As if sensing Chen Heng’s arrival, the restaurant owner paused and raised his head to look in their direction. Then, he returned to normal and went to cut the meat again.

As for Wendy, she did not feel anything and was busy working alone.

“Let’s go.”

In front, Kana smiled and said, “Elena is not here right now. She is moving around to another place.

“She can only come here at a specific time to complete the mission given by the Elder.”

“The Elder?”

Chen Heng came back to his senses and keenly noticed this title.

“It’s what we call the members of the council.”

Kana said, “There are 28 members of the King’s Council. Each member is called an elder.

“This area of ours belongs to this elder.”

Chen Heng nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, they continued to walk forward, slowly arriving at the center of the town.

Passing through an entrance, the world seemed to have changed unknowingly. The originally prosperous town around them disappeared and was replaced by an empty town.

The lively streets were gone, and no single person could be seen. It was so empty that it was frightening.

Chen Heng had also entered this place the last time, and it was an alternate dimension that belonged to the town. However, the last time was at night, during the day.

In the middle of the town, a bonfire was still burning, and there was a light blooming within it. After it spread out, it became an invisible ripple that enveloped the entire town.

Chen Heng took note. Outside the town, there was an invisible layer of fog. The fog completely covered the outside of the town, making it impossible for people to see what the scenery outside the town was like. They could only barely see the town in front of them.

Chen Heng frowned. When he looked at the fog outside, he could feel that there was something in the fog that gave him a faint sense of threat.

This feeling made him feel surprised. At his current level, there were not many existences that could make him feel a sense of threat.

“What exactly is in a fog?”

Standing beside Kana, Chen Heng looked outside the fog and could not help but ask.

“Some relics and remains from the past, and perhaps some Divine Sin Creatures.”

Kana shrugged at Chen Heng’s question and said, “As for the details, I’m not very sure.

“After all, I’m not a member of the Council. I’m just a nobody.”

“What are Divine Sin Creatures?”

Chen Heng continued to ask.

“Some creatures related to Heaven Gods.”

Kana said, “Bloodlines can cause distortions. Not only us but also those powerful beings.

“In the ancient legends, there was more than one son of a god who had been distorted and turned into a distorted and powerful monster.”

“These beings were collectively called Divine Sin Creatures by the ancient scholars.

“As for this, there should be relevant records in the Violet Empire. You can look for it when you go back.”

“I will.”

Chen Heng nodded. Although he was curious, he still retracted his gaze. He had a premonition that the life form within the fog was very powerful, and there was probably more than one of them.

No one in the current world could stop them if they charged out.

No, it didn’t seem to be the case. Chen Heng realized a problem.

What appeared on the surface might not be everything. On the surface, the strongest person in this world was only a king, equivalent to a Seventh Rank Epic.

But in the dark, was there a stronger person hiding?

There should be. After all, this was a world where powerful primogenitors existed. If the parents and children of those primogenitors and their direct bloodline were still alive, they would probably still exist. It was just that they might be like the King’s Council, hiding in a corner that ordinary people could not see.

It was the same for the three great empires. More or less, they all had some foundation.
