Chapter 99: Travelling

Chen Heng turned and looked at Kerdo.

20 years had passed, and without realizing it, that little boy had become a man.

Even though Chen Heng had lived two lives before, Chen Heng had never had children before.

This was his first time.

As such, he took raising his first child very seriously.

He put immense effort and energy into raising him, and now he had become his own man.

From his face, one could see Chen Heng’s features from back then.

Now, Chen Heng did not have much time left, so he was planning on leaving everything that he had worked for to Kerdo.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng smiled.

On that day, the two of them talked much in front of Verna’s bed.

Only after a long time did Kerdo leave the palace, filled with heavy and complicated feelings.

In the following days, Chen Heng did not do much. He just gradually handed off various matters to his children.

He stayed in the palace by himself, looking after Verna.

A few months quickly passed.

As time went on, Verna’s life finally ended, and Chen Heng fully wrapped up everything.

Not too long after Verna died, he handed the throne to Kerdo and gave his other children territories in other places before preparing for a new journey.

Even though he was reaching the end of his life, Chen Heng still had much strength and could still travel.

After completing all of the important things, he once again picked up his sword and prepared to take the path that his predecessors had taken and explore the other side of the continent.

“Are you really going to leave?”

Before he left, one of his oldest friends came to the palace to find him.

Krudo’s figure was still tall and well-built. Even though he was nearly 60 years old like Chen Heng, his body was still very strong.

However, just like Chen Heng, his life was coming to an end.

After many years of fighting and using life energy, his lifeforce had been quickly drained. Even though he was a Knight, his lifespan was not as long as an ordinary person.

Chen Heng had given him territory in the southern side and a very high position, hoping that he could enjoy himself in a peaceful life and that he would no longer have to work so hard.

However, Krudo had not lazed around over the past few years. Even now, he was very strong and could rival young Knights.

“Long ago, I wanted to leave and follow the path that Mr Corripo took, seeing the scenery far away.”

Looking at his old friend, Chen Heng smiled and said, “It was just that in the past, I was bound by many things. However, now, I’m essentially a dead person. I can finally happily put everything aside and do what I want to do.”

After Chen Heng had taken over the Kutu Principality many years ago, Corripo had left and followed a mysterious ancient path to a faraway land.

According to him, he was searching for a lost legacy to obtain an ancient power.

It had been decades since he had left, and even now, he still had not sent any word back; it seemed that things had not gone very well.

Chen Heng wanted to take the path that Corripo had taken and see the splendor of this world.

Ever since he had come to this world, he had spent most of his time in the Kutu Principality. Let alone leaving this continent, he had not seen the entirety of this continent before.

It was quite a pity.

He had long since had the desire to travel about, but because of the many matters tying him up, he could not do so.

“Count me in.” Krudo gave a slight smile.

He looked at Chen Heng as he said earnestly, “Even though I’m old now, I can swing my sword, and I can still serve you for a few years. I’m sure I’ll be of use to you on this journey.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, just like before.

“That’s good too.” Chen Heng smiled and nodded.

A few days later, he set out, with Krudo by his side.

They set out from the Nardo Kingdom and traveled around to various places in the Nardo Kingdom to see the results of his efforts over the years.

Objectively speaking, Chen Heng had achieved much over the past few decades.

He had successfully united the Kutu Principality’s territories together; before, they had been quite split up. The rulers who had large amounts of territory were sent to the borders, reducing the burden on the Nardo Kingdom.

The population had greatly grown over the years, and the political regime was quite stable. Even though it was impossible to put an end to some crimes and cultural practices, it was still much better than before.

As Chen Heng and Krudo travelled through these places, seeing these results, they could not help but smile.

By now, they had reached the end of their lives.

However, at least within their limited lives, they had done much and changed many people’s lives for the better.

This kind of satisfaction was difficult to describe.

For Chen Heng, this was not just a benefit in terms of Points; he personally felt quite gratified.

Just looking at the changes he had brought about and how much better these people’s lives had become, his heart felt touched.

Even if this was just a simulation, Chen Heng felt that everything he had done was worth it.

After this, they began to leave the Nardo Kingdom’s borders and gradually headed out.

There were many dangers on the way; not only were there greedy bandits, but there were also all kinds of natural disasters.

For normal people, the dangers that Chen Heng and Krudo encountered would be enough to kill them countless times.

However, for Chen Heng and Krudo, it was not a big deal.

After all, they were both Knights, and even though they were old, they were still quite powerful.

For ordinary bandit groups, Chen Heng did not even have to act; just Krudo alone could annihilate them.

They continued onwards and passed through many places.

On the fifth year of their travels, Krudo could not go on any more and departed first.

He had died in battle.

Within a mysterious historical remnant, the two of them had encountered some mysterious guards who seemed to be left behind by the owner of the historical remnant. They were very powerful, and in order to protect Chen Heng, Krudo had stimulated his life seed and died fighting.

Chen Heng was also left with countless injuries.

He had also stimulated his life seed, and even though he had survived, he was on his last breath.

He knew his condition clearly; after leaving his Life Ignition status, he would depart from this world soon.

Fortunately, before he used up all of his strength, he had been able to kill those guards.
