"A place that's behind the times … that's fine …"
Thinking to the information he had gathered, Chen Heng nodded.
A place that was behind the times meant that the people in this region would not be very powerful. At the very least, it would be much less likely for powerful Knights or Great Knights to appear in this region.
In that case, it would be much easier for him to do whatever he wanted in this area.
Even though he thought to himself, he still had a bright smile on his face as he continuously talked with Jit, trying not to make him feel awkward.
His tone was calm and his attitude was kind, and he did not put his identity as a noble at all. Instead, he acted like a junior, making Jit have a good impression of him.
Looking at Chen Heng, Jit could not help but think of Ormando.
Even though they were brothers, Ormando would never speak to Chen Heng like this.
"If it was young master Ormando … how would he treat me?"
He could not help but think to himself.
Following this, he thought back to that scene and Ormando's cold gaze and could not help but sigh.
Being disabled on the battlefield meant that he was already a cripple to those people. It was not worth wasting any effort on him.
Only Chen Heng would pay so much attention to him.
Thinking to there, he could not help but feel moved, and he looked at Chen Heng with gratitude.
Seeing this, Chen Heng inwardly laughed.
After sending Jit home, Chen Heng went to visit his family.
Just like what he had heard, Jit had many people in his family.
He had five children and many elderly people in his family.
Before, Jit had a job as a guard, and even though his life was difficult, he was still able to make ends meet.
However, now that Jit had been injured on the battlefield and had been forced to retire, their lives had become more and more difficult.
Chen Heng greeted these people and gave some of the things he had brought as gifts. Following this, he went to visit the residents before leaving.
After he left, the residents all wanted to send him off. It seemed that they all had a good impression of this second son of the Lord.
On the way back, the servant in charge of taking care of Chen Heng felt quite confused.
"Young master …"
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "You seem to be a little too kind to those lowly … freedmen …"
Looking at Chen Heng's familiar face, he could not help but feel confused.
In the past, Chen Heng was not like this.
In the past, Chen Heng's previous self was similar to Ormando. Even though he was not as cold as Ormando, he would not look at ordinary people.
After all, to these nobles, those commoners were just lowly commoners, not worth mentioning at all.
"You don't understand …"
Looking at this servant, Chen Heng only smiled and shook his head, not intending to explain.
In truth, he was only doing this as an experiment.
The mechanism of obtaining points depended on his influence.
In other words, the more people he influenced, the more points he could obtain.
That was why he did what he did.
Everything was just an experiment.
Of course, winning a good impression was also one of the reasons.
Although the power of ordinary civilians was weak, they were still a force to be reckoned with.
A good reputation was also a form of strength.
Since that was the case, why not?
At the end of the day, he didn't contribute much.
After returning to Baron Kaisen's manor, the atmosphere had changed.
The scene of Chen Heng personally sending Jit off was seen by many people.
Those people had told even more people about this.
Moreover, the things that Chen Heng had told Tina were starting to take effect.
Everyone in the manor knew that Chen Heng had taken pity on Jit's family and had specially hired him as his teacher out of benevolence.
In response to this, Chen Heng smiled and did not do anything.
In the following days, time gradually passed.
Unknowingly, five months passed by very quickly.
During these five months, Chen Heng had changed greatly.
After descending, he changed from his previous self's habits and did many shocking things.
When it came to himself, he was incredibly thrifty and did not have the extravagance of nobles at all. He only had water and some wild vegetables for every meal, saving all of his money.
However, to those seniors and those who were in difficult situations, he was incredibly generous. Sometimes, he would rather make things difficult for himself than help his friends.
He was incredibly respectful towards his teacher, and in order to protect his teacher, he had even gotten into a big fight with his older brother, Ormando.
He was also very friendly to merchants and travelers who came from afar. Not only would he send people to take care of them, but he would also personally ride a horse and act as a guide, helping them pass through some difficult paths.
In just a moment, the entire manor's attitude towards Chen Heng changed.
No matter if it was the servants, guards, or ordinary commoners, whenever they mentioned Chen Heng, their faces would be filled with respect and reverence.
Even though they did the same to Ormando and Baron Kaisen, everyone knew that there was a big difference between them.
Early in the morning, the sun had just risen.
On the grass, droplets of water fell onto the ground, making the surroundings look quite wet.
It was still early in the morning, and the sky had just begun to brighten.
It was just that at that moment, someone had woken up.
Chen Heng held his sword and walked to the spacious training ground by himself.
This was a habit of his.
A few months ago, after he had descended, he had been the first to wake up.
Every day, as soon as the sun rose, he would get up from his bed and begin a day of training.
In the past half a year, his diligence was obvious to all, and everyone knew about it.
This was in stark contrast to Ormando.
Every time, he was the last to arrive, and he had to wait for all of the guards to gather before he could come here.
Compared to Chen Heng, the contrast was incredibly stark.
Of course, the reason why it was so stark was because of Chen Heng himself.
After all, the reason why he had chosen to train here every day was so that when the guards arrived, they would be able to see how he was training.
After half a year, he had gotten used to it.
Chen Heng silently drew his sword and stood up, swinging his sword around like he was used to training in this place.
Over this long period of time, he had found his sword skills, and his sword skills were not inferior to anyone's. Even the most skilled warriors in the territory were not a match for him.
It was just that today, as he silently trained, Chen Heng suddenly felt that something was off.
"This feeling …"
