"I see."
Walking on the road, looking at Chen Heng beside him, Kurudo suddenly said, "You are also a person who came to join Kutu Academy."
"right."
With a smile on his face, Chen Heng nodded lightly: "I didn't expect that, you too."
After a while, under Chen Heng's deliberate friendship, the two have already known each other.
In a short period of time, under Chen Heng's deliberate rhetoric, the young man also gave a clean account of his background.
His name is Kurduo, and he is a descendant of the northern lord. Like Chen Heng, he is also the heir of a baron. This time he came here to participate in the gathering of Kutu Academy.
However, compared with Chen Heng, he obviously had a miserable life, so that after coming here, he didn't even have a familiar person.
"Didn't your father arrange a guide for you?"
Chen Heng asked curiously.
Kurudo shook his head bitterly, and then explained to Chen Heng.
It turns out that although the Kurudo family is a noble, it is located in the north, bordering a desert area.
Different from the territory where Baron Kaisen is located, in the desert area, there is not only a harsh climate, but also various terrifying alien races.
That place is not only poor, but there are very few local products, and because of the terrain and danger, there are few business travelers.
This also leads to a result.
The lords there are very poor.
The same goes for the Kurdeau family.
According to Kurudo, he was able to come to Kutu because a business traveler happened to pass by and sent him here.
Otherwise, he doesn't know when he will be here.
Hearing this, even Chen Heng couldn't help being speechless for a while.
It is really speechless to be a lord to such an extent.
But it also seems real.
Before that, he had heard a little about the poverty in the north of Kutu Kingdom.
I thought that those were exaggerations, but now it seems that they are really more than that.
"Speaking of which, is the south so rich?"
Afterwards, Kurudo spoke enviously.
He was very envious of Chen Heng's previous attitude of not taking money seriously.
In their territory, a big silver coin is a lot of money.
"Not really."
Chen Heng smiled, then shook his head: "The situation of my father's lord is indeed better than yours, but it's not too good."
"In fact, when I came out, I only had three silver coins with me."
Without changing his face, he spoke calmly.
"Then you still"
Kurudo was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
"Because people always want more."
Looking at Kurudo, Chen Heng smiled, and then pointed to himself: "To be honest, a big silver coin has a lot of money, and I may not be able to make so much money in a year."
"But I would rather see other people suffer than the joy of getting this windfall."
He smiled and said, "Even for me, a big silver coin is a lot of money. What about for others?"
"Think about it, maybe this is the property of someone else's family, maybe someone else is hoping to use this money to change his life, or maybe someone is waiting for this money to save his life."
"It's nothing to me to lose this windfall, but it's catastrophic to others."
Chen Heng sighed, and said softly, "I don't want this to be the case. If this is the case, my joy will not be able to make up for my guilt, and it will make me live in anxiety."
Kurudo froze again.
He originally thought that Chen Heng did this before because he was rich enough to ignore the money.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
This is a person who would rather hurt his own interests than make others cry.
As long as he does nothing, he can easily take this wealth, which is not a small amount of money to himself, but he did not do so. Instead, he took the initiative to find the owner, unwilling to let others Man is saddened by the loss.
Such an upright and kind person
Looking at Chen Heng, Kurudo was suddenly in awe, and at this moment he almost didn't know what to say.
"You, you are a great man."
He looked at Chen Heng and was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Great? No, not really."
Chen Heng smiled, the smile was still very gentle and pleasing to the eye: "Actually, if my father knew what happened today, he would definitely hold a sword and call me a fool."
"The same must be true of others."
He shook his head and said with a smile.
Kurudo also smiled, and said seriously: "Perhaps in the eyes of most people, this kind of behavior is not witty, but I always think that behavior like yours is noble."
"A kind person should be respected."
He looked at Chen Heng and said solemnly.
Standing there, looking at Kurudo's expression, Chen Heng didn't speak, but just smiled.
When he came to Kutu this time, he did only bring three silver coins with him, but what he didn't tell Kurudo was that Baron Kaisen would give him ten silver coins later, and every year thereafter.
He also didn't tell the other party that there is no so-called owner at all, and everything was made up by him.
Of course, these things, the other party will never know.
"Thanks."
Various thoughts flashed in his mind, on the surface, Chen Heng smiled, very happy: "No matter how you say it, we know each other."
"You are the first friend I met in Kutu."
He smiled and held out his hand.
Kurudo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, stretched out his hand to Chen Heng, and gave it a firm grip.
Silently, a friendship seemed to be established.
Afterwards, Chen Heng chatted with Kurudo a lot, and the two talked here, and they felt like they had met each other for a while.
It wasn't until a long time later, when the sky was getting dark, that Kurdeau turned and left, leaving this place.
In the same place, looking at the back of Kurduo who gradually disappeared, Chen Heng stood there, thoughtful.
"A good seedling."
He smiled and looked very happy.
Even though they only knew each other for a day, Chen Heng has already obtained a lot of information.
Kurudo is young, and as a child of a baron, although he looks a bit like a bumpkin at the moment, his potential is beyond doubt.
At least being able to come here to study means that he is likely to inherit his father's title in the future.
Although the northern nobles are generally poor, they still have many advantages in terms of convenience.
And personally, Kurudo also has many bright spots.
Recalling the feeling of calluses on the opponent's hand when he just made a fist, Chen Heng couldn't help smiling, and he was a little more certain about the guess in his heart.
