Neither Herdosiri nor Chen Heng felt guilty about taking things from the corpses.
For them to have protected those people along the way, they had already shown great kindness to them.
As such, taking the assets of the dead was not a big moral issue.
This world did not have a very high requirement towards morals—them not forcefully taking these things when those people were still alive was already quite good.
This was part of the reason why they did not lack money.
All of the people escaping from the Malido Kingdom had been nobles; commoners did not need to run away, as their kingdom had already perished—it did not matter to them who they paid their taxes to.
In fact, perhaps the powerful Oro Empire might treat them even better than the Malido Kingdom.
As such, commoners had no reason to run.
As for the nobles, they had all held power and authority in the Malido Kingdom.
