Chapter 27 - The Kingdom of Kutu

For Chen Heng, what Ormando would do actually didn't matter. Anyway, judging from the current pace, no matter what he would do in the end, it couldn't change the final outcome. Everything belonging to Baron Kayson would fall into his hands. It was just a matter of time. With a calm expression on his face and holding the long sword in his hand, Chen Heng had this thought flashing through his mind. There was a very long distance from Baron Kayson's territory to Kutu. With such a long distance and the fact that the roads in this world were not easy to travel on, Chen Heng spent a long time on the road and finally reached his destination. It took him a full two months before he arrived at his destination. He came to Kutu, the royal city of the Kingdom of Kutu, and settled down there. "It seems quite lively..." Walking around, Chen Heng was strolling on foot, admiring the surrounding scenery. In his opinion, the city in front of him still seemed rather backward. The surrounding buildings and arrangements were a bit chaotic, and the people on the street were not dense at all but rather disorderly. From time to time, a stench wafted around, mixed with various smells. Judging from this, it seemed that the city's sewage disposal and sanitation conditions were not well done. However, compared to Baron Kayson's territory, this place was already quite good. At least it looked prosperous and was far better than the other places Chen Heng had seen before. Of course, compared to the city streets in modern society, this place was still much worse. It could be said that there was no comparison at all. But ignoring the differences between the worlds and forcibly comparing them was itself an unfair thing. At least in this world, this city was already quite good. Chen Heng, who had worked as a mercenary and traveled to many places in the last simulation, could prove this point. Walking around here, he casually walked in all directions. When the pedestrians around saw him and the red robe on him, they didn't feel surprised at all but just subconsciously moved aside a bit. Red, in the Kingdom of Kutu, was a color that only nobles could use. In Baron Kayson's territory, commoners were only allowed to use white and gray. However, in this city, such a ban seemed to be much looser. At least for now, Chen Heng had already seen quite a number of people whose clothes were rather eye-catching and didn't seem to be restricted at all. Come to think of it, it was understandable. After all, this was the royal city of the Kingdom of Kutu, with a large number of nobles, big and small, as well as many foreign merchants and mercenaries around. If those bans were implemented too strictly, it probably wouldn't be realistic. Chen Heng observed silently as he walked around on foot. It could be seen that recently, due to the enrollment of the Kutu Royal Academy, there were quite a number of outsiders in this city. As far as he had seen so far, quite a number of outsiders had come in and were shopping around here on a large scale. After a while, a young man in a blue robe who looked rather young caught Chen Heng's attention. He was a young man who didn't seem very old. He should be just in his early twenties, only a few years older than Chen Heng. He seemed to be in a bit of financial distress. Although he was wearing a robe, it had several patches on it, and his face looked a bit swarthy, as if he often did manual labor. Looking at this person, Chen Heng was a bit surprised. In his opinion, he could tell at a glance that the person in front of him was no ordinary person. The young man in front of him was carrying a lot of things on his back and also holding a big bag in his hand. Ordinary people might not notice much difference, but in Chen Heng's opinion, the weight of those things was definitely not light. An ordinary person might not be able to walk after carrying them for a while, but the young man in front of him was calm and composed and didn't feel tired at all after walking for such a long time. Obviously, this was not something an ordinary person could do. Chen Heng seemed lost in thought and then walked forward. During this process, he already had a silver coin in his hand. "Your thing is too expensive, isn't it?" Looking at the peddler in front of him, the young man frowned and couldn't accept it. "It's just a scabbard. How can you ask for so much?" "This price is really cheap already." In front of him, the peddler was a bit helpless. "Then how much do you want to pay?" The young man stretched out his hand, with a serious look on his face, and quoted a price: "At most five copper coins." "Well..." The peddler hesitated for a moment and finally looked around and nodded: "Okay." The young man's expression then relaxed and he nodded. He was just about to step forward. "Excuse me." A voice came from the side and rang out at this moment. It sounded very gentle. Hearing the voice, the young man subconsciously startled and turned around subconsciously, looking over there with some vigilance. He saw a young man's figure standing there beside him. This was a very handsome young man with a tall and straight figure and an exceptionally handsome appearance. Just standing there, he had a different kind of spirit from ordinary people. At first glance, he was so unique and gave people a refreshing feeling. He stood there with a gentle expression on his face, like a polite gentleman, just looking at him. "Excuse me. Is this thing yours?" Chen Heng stood there, looking at the young man in front of him, smiled gently and asked. In his hand, a silver coin was lying there, reflecting silvery light under the sunlight, looking so bright. Looking at this silver coin, the young man subconsciously had a change in his expression and felt a bit tempted. Just at this moment, Chen Heng's voice continued to ring out. "I just passed by here and picked this up on the road. I looked around nearby and thought it might be yours." Observing the young man's reaction secretly, Chen Heng smiled and then said so. As the words fell, the young man was stunned for a moment and a sense of admiration rose in his heart. A silver coin was no small amount of money. The currency of the Kingdom of Kutu had only three kinds: inferior copper coins and silver coins from various countries. The silver coin in Chen Heng's hand was of good quality. It was a large silver coin from the Kingdom of Kells. In terms of value, it was far more valuable than the small silver coins of the Kingdom of Kutu and could be exchanged for hundreds of copper coins. Having picked up such a large sum of money, he didn't keep it for himself but was willing to selflessly look for the owner. What a selfless person he was! Beside them, looking at this scene, the peddler who was setting up the stall swallowed hard, wishing he could replace the young man and accept it. However, in the end, the young man still resisted the temptation. He swallowed hard, looking quite tempted, but finally shook his head and refused, saying, "Sir, this isn't my thing." "You've got the wrong person." Looking at the silver coin in Chen Heng's hand, there was reluctance in his eyes, but he still spoke with a very firm attitude and didn't take the silver coin. A smile couldn't help but appear on Chen Heng's face.
