Chapter 27 Friendship
"I see……"
Walking on the road, looking at Chen Heng beside him, Kurudo was a little surprised: "You are also here to join Kutu Academy."
"right."
Chen Heng smiled and nodded gently: "I didn't expect that you are the same."
After a while, with Chen Heng's deliberate efforts, the two of them became acquainted.
In a short period of time, under Chen Heng's deliberate questioning, the young man explained his origins in detail.
His name is Kurudo. He is a descendant of the lord of the north and, like Chen Heng, he is also the heir to a baron. This time he came to participate in the gathering of Kutu Academy.
However, compared with Chen Heng, he was obviously in a more miserable situation, so much so that after coming here, he didn't even have a single familiar person.
"Didn't your father arrange a guide for you?"
Chen Heng asked curiously.
Kuruddo shook his head bitterly, then began to explain for Chen Heng.
It turns out that although the Kurud family is a noble family, they are located in the north and border a desert area.
Unlike the territory where Baron Kaisen is located, the desert area not only has a harsh climate, but also various terrifying alien races.
Not only was the place poor, it also produced very little. Because of the terrain and danger, there were very few business travelers.
This also led to a result.
The lords there were very poor.
The same is true for the Kurudos.
According to Kuruddu, he was able to come to Kutu because a caravan happened to pass by and brought him here.
Otherwise, he didn't know when he would be able to get here.
Hearing this, even Chen Heng was speechless.
It is really speechless that a lord would go to such lengths.
But it seems very real.
Before this, he had heard a little about the poverty in the north of Kutu Kingdom.
I thought those were all exaggerations, but now it seems that they are even worse than what was said.
"Come to think of it, is the South that rich?"
Then, Kurudot spoke with some envy.
He was very envious of Chen Heng's previous attitude of not caring about money.
In their territory, a large silver coin is considered a huge sum of money.
"Not really."
Chen Heng smiled, then shook his head: "My father's lordship situation is indeed better than yours, but not much better."
"In fact, when I came out, I only had three silver coins on me."
He remained calm and spoke calmly.
"Then you still... "
Kurudo was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
“Because people always want more.”
Looking at Kurudoo, Chen Heng smiled, then pointed at himself and said, "To be honest, a large silver coin is a lot of money, and I may not be able to make that much money in a year."
"But I would rather not see other people suffer than to feel happy about this unexpected wealth."
He smiled and said, "Even for me, a large silver coin is a lot of money...how about for others?"
"Think about it, this may be the property of someone else's family. Maybe someone is hoping to use this money to change his life. Or maybe someone is waiting for this money to save his life..."
"Losing this unexpected wealth is nothing to me, but to others, it is a calamity..."
Chen Heng sighed and spoke softly: "I don't want this to happen. If this is true, my joy cannot make up for my guilt, and it will make me live in anxiety."
Kurud was stunned again.
He originally thought that Chen Heng acted like this before because he was rich enough and therefore didn't care about the money.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
This is a person who would rather suffer losses than make others cry.
As long as he did nothing, he could easily pocket this wealth, which was not a small amount of money for him, but he did not do so. Instead, he took the initiative to find the owner, unwilling to let others be sad about the loss.
What an upright and kind person!
Looking at Chen Heng, Kurdo was suddenly filled with awe and at this moment he almost didn't know what to say.
"You, you are such a great person."
He looked at Chen Heng and was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"Great? No, not really."
Chen Heng smiled, his smile was still very gentle and pleasing to the eye: "In fact, if my father knew what happened today, he would definitely hold a sword and angrily call me a fool."
"The same is probably true for others."
He shook his head and spoke with a smile.
Kurudoo also smiled and said seriously: "Perhaps in the eyes of most people, this behavior is not smart, but I always think that behavior like yours is noble."
“Good people should be respected.”
He looked at Chen Heng and spoke solemnly.
Standing there, looking at Kurdo's expression, Chen Heng didn't say anything, just smiled.
This time when he came to Kutu, he indeed only brought three silver coins, but what he did not tell Kutu was that Baron Kaisen would give him ten silver coins later, and every year thereafter.
He also did not tell the other party that there was no so-called owner and that everything was made up by him.
Of course, the other party will never know these things.
"Thanks."
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. On the surface, Chen Heng smiled happily: "No matter what, we know each other now."
"You are the first friend I met in Kutu."
He smiled and then held out his hand.
Kurudo was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, stretched out his hand to Chen Heng and shook it hard.
In silence, a friendship seemed to be established.
Afterwards, Chen Heng and Kurdo chatted a lot. They talked here and felt that they had met each other too late.
It was not until a long time later, when the sky gradually darkened, that Kurudo turned around and left the place.
Chen Heng stood there, looking at Kurudoo's gradually disappearing figure, thoughtful.
"A good seedling."
He smiled and seemed very happy.
Even though they had only known each other for one day, Chen Heng had already acquired a lot of information.
Kurudo is not very old. As the son of a baron, although he looks a bit rustic at the moment, his potential is unquestionable.
At least being able to come here to study means that there is a high chance that he will inherit his father's title in the future.
Although the northern nobles are generally poor, they still have many advantages in some aspects.
And personally, Kurudow also has many highlights.
Recalling the feeling of the other person's hands full of calluses when he clenched his fist just now, Chen Heng couldn't help but smile, and his guess in his mind became more certain.
