"So it's like that …"
On the way, looking at Chen Heng, Krudo said, "You're also here to join the Kutu Royal Academy."
"That's right."
Chen Heng gave a slight smile and lightly nodded, "I never thought that it would be the same for you."
After a while, under Chen Heng's efforts, the two of them had gotten to know each other.
In just a short period of time, under Chen Heng's efforts, the young man had told Chen Heng about his background.
His name was Krudo, and he was a descendant of the northern rulers. Like Chen Heng, he was also the heir to a Baron, and he had come to participate in the Kutu Royal Academy's gathering.
However, compared to Chen Heng, his life was quite pitiful. After coming here, he did not even meet anyone he was familiar with.
"Did your father not arrange a guide for you?"
Chen Heng asked curiously.
Krudo bitterly shook his head before explaining to Chen Heng.
It turned out that even though the Krudo family was a noble family, they were in the north and bordered a barren region.
Different to Baron Kaisen's territory, the barren region not only had harsh weather, but it also had all sorts of terrifying Outlanders.
Not only was that place poor, but it also had very little resources. Because of the terrain and dangers, there were very few merchants there.
This led to a result.
The rulers there were all quite poor.
This was the same for the Krudo family.
According to Krudo, he had only been able to come to the Kutu Royal Academy because a merchant group had happened to pass by and sent him here.
Otherwise, who knew how long it would have taken for him to come here?
Hearing this, even Chen Heng felt quite speechless.
For a ruler to do such a thing, it really made him feel quite speechless.
However, this seemed quite true.
Before, he had heard about the poverty of the northern side of the Kutu Royal Academy.
Initially, he had thought that those were all exaggerated words. However, from the looks of it now, it was probably true.
"Come to think of it, is the southern side really that rich?"
Following this, Krudo asked somewhat enviously.
He felt quite envious of Chen Heng's attitude of not caring about money.
In their territory, one large silver coin was a large sum of money.
"That's not it."
Chen Heng smiled before shaking his head, "My father's situation is indeed a bit better than yours, but it is not too good."
"In fact, when I came out, I only had three silver coins on me."
His expression didn't change as he spoke calmly.
"Then why …"
Krudo stared blankly for a moment, feeling quite surprised.
"Because people always want more."
Looking at Krudo, Chen Heng smiled and pointed at himself, "To be honest, a large silver coin is a lot of money; I might not even be able to earn that much money in a year."
"But compared to the joy of obtaining this unexpected wealth, I do not wish to see others suffer because of it."
He smiled and said, "Even to me, a large silver coin is a lot of money … what about others?"
"Think about it, this might be someone else's property. Maybe someone is hoping to use this money to change their life, or maybe someone is waiting for this money to save their life …"
"Losing this unexpected fortune is nothing to me, but to others, it's a disaster …"
Chen Heng sighed and said softly, "I hope that this is not the case. If this is the case, my joy will not be able to make up for my guilt and will make me feel uneasy.
Krudo was once again dumbfounded.
He had thought that Chen Heng was like this because he was rich enough and did not care about this money.
However, it seemed that this was not the case at all.
This was a person who would rather lose his own benefits than see others cry.
As long as he didn't do anything, he could easily pocket this wealth, which wasn't a small sum of money to him. However, he didn't do so. Instead, he took the initiative to look for the owner, unwilling to let others feel sad about this loss.
Just how righteous and kind of person was he?
Looking at Chen Heng, Krudo felt deep respect for him and did not know what to say.
"You, you're such a great person."
He looked at Chen Heng and fell silent for a long time before saying this.
"Great? No, I'm not. "
Chen Heng gave a gentle smile, "In actuality, if my father knew about what happened today, he would definitely take out his sword and call me an idiot.
I'm sure everyone else will feel the same. "
Chen Heng shook his head as he smiled.
Krudo also smiled as he said in a serious tone, "Perhaps to most people, this kind of action is not very smart, but I still feel that your actions are noble."
A kind person should be respected. "
He looked at Chen Heng as he said seriously.
Standing there and looking at Krudo's expression, Chen Heng did not say anything and only smiled.
He had indeed only brought three silver coins to the Kutu Royal City, but what he did not tell Krudo was that Baron Kaisen would give him another ten silver coins later, and he would get another ten every year.
He also did not tell Krudo that there was no such thing as the owner and that he had made up everything.
Of course, Krudo would never know about this.
"Thank you."
Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind, but on the surface, he smiled quite happily, "No matter what, we've gotten to know each other.
You're the first friend I've made in the Kutu Royal City. "
Chen Heng smiled as he stretched out his hand.
Krudo stared for a moment before also smiling and gripping Chen Heng's hand.
Silently, a friendship seemed to have been established.
Following this, Chen Heng and Krudo talked about many things. As they talked, they felt as if they regretted not having met earlier.
Only after a long time did Krudo turn and leave this place as the sky gradually darkened.
Looking at Krudo's gradually disappearing figure, Chen Heng thought to himself.
"A good seedling."
He smiled, seeming quite happy.
Even though they had only known each other for a day, Chen Heng had obtained much information.
Krudo was not very old, and as the child of a Baron, even though he looked like a country bumpkin, his potential was undeniable.
At the very least, for him to come here to study meant that he had a chance of inheriting his father's title in the future.
Even though the northern side's nobles were generally poor, they had many advantages.
Moreover, Krudo had many bright spots.
