Chapter 8: The Crown of the Other Side

The stupid mind immediately had some more information, and it turned out that this was an artifact called the crown of the other side. There's a wide space inside, and there are a few other uses, and it's said that those functions won't be able to be turned on until his level is higher.

And stupid knows, as long as his mind moves, he can leave here and return to the real world. In the same way, he can enter here with a single thought. This crown has always been within his body, forming a gray crown mark on his forehead.

Ben had heard his parents say that he had this mark on his forehead since he was born. Although he felt a little puzzled about the fact that he had the crown of the other side as soon as he was born, he didn't think too much about it. After all, it's a great pleasure to be able to own an artifact.

With a thought, he left the space and returned to the cabin at Orpheus Academy. My sister Qingxue was already asleep and made a slight snoring sound. He looked at his sister, and his heart became very gentle and soft. Gently stroking his sister's face, he said, "Qingxue, I must make your life better and better in the future." Never have to endure hunger and cold. ”

............

The next day, there were two more skinny figures on the campus of Orpheus College. One of them was a black-eyed and black-haired teenager shoveling snow on the school road with an iron catalpa, and the other was a little girl with green eyes and green hair, following the boy and watching him shovel snow.

The snow has stopped for two days, but the temperature hasn't risen at all. The cotton clothes on the stupid body are so shabby, not warm at all, and I stay outdoors for a long time, I really feel very cold. He also wore something on his hands and feet, which were so heavy that he felt that even the most ordinary behaviors, such as standing and walking, were exhausted, let alone shoveling so much snow.

But he found that whenever he felt very cold and very tired, the mark on his forehead would always emit a warm stream of heat that flowed through his body, making him feel less cold and less tired.

Nothing like this has ever happened before. He knew that it was because he had become a shadow disciple and activated the crown on the other side. What he didn't know was that under such a cold and tired attack, his body reached its limit and inspired the crown of the other side. The heat emitted by the crown on the other side was slowly changing his physique. Make his body stronger and tougher, and let his limits of endurance slowly increase.

"Light snow, go home. My brother can do it alone. It's too cold to stay here. There's a stove in the house, so go back to the fire and make a fire. Stupid looked at the little face that was red from the light snow, and said.

"No, brother, Qingxue wants to accompany my brother. In the past, my brother didn't bring light snow when he worked, but now that it's so close, light snow can finally accompany my brother. "Light Snow still insists on not going back.

It took a morning of snow to clear a quarter of the campus road. Stupid was not in a hurry, and at noon he returned to the cabin with light snow, had lunch, and rested. Get ready to go to the newspaper delivery in the afternoon.

According to the address given by Principal Pa'an, he found the newspaper office and learned that hundreds of newspapers would be delivered in one afternoon, a total distance of dozens of kilometers, so he insisted on sending Qingxue home. Because he knew that if he had brought light snow, he would definitely not be able to deliver so many newspapers in one afternoon.

By the time Ben had finished delivering all the newspapers, it was completely dark. He dragged his tired body back to the warm cabin. Although his body was tired, he was in a very happy mood. He is very happy to be able to rely on his own ability and do the right thing to support himself and his sister.

When he saw the warm orange light emanating from the cabin, he felt full of warmth when he thought of his sister waiting for him in the warm room.

After two days of shoveling, the snow on the secluded roads of the campus was cleaned by the stupid shovel, and he finally had to remove the snow from the main roads of the campus.

Ben has always put the snow on the main road to shovel at the end, because he always feels that his appearance appears so abruptly on the main road of the campus, which is very out of tune with the atmosphere here. There are students and teachers coming and going on the main road, there are flying emotions that are full of youth, and there are people from a different world than him.

He had to admit that he was a little timid.

On this day, Light Snow still came out to accompany him to shovel the snow.

Stupidly and carefully avoiding the crowds, avoiding people's bodies, feet, shoveling snow from the main road. It's been four days, and the snow in many places has frozen into solid ice under the trampling of people, and it is difficult to shovel.

Stupidly straightened up, wanting to take a break, he saw a teenager walking opposite under the crowd. The teenager looked very handsome with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a well-cut gown. As if he was born to be the pride of the sky, born to be noticed by everyone and become the center of the people, he walked over with steps surrounded by several other teenagers.

This young man is the young master of the Duke of Rand's family, Bruce Rand. Around him were the vassal families of the Rand family, the children of some minor aristocratic families. Bruce is a student of the knight department, only twelve years old, and is already a knight of the sea. Among the students, because of his identity, because of his talent, he has always been a figure like a student leader.

At the same age, under different circumstances, stupidity inevitably had a trace of envy for Bruce. He looked at these people, looked at Bruce, and thought that in three months, he would be able to walk into their world like them, and he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope for the future.

The stupid eyes that stared at Bruce naturally did not escape Bruce's feeling. Bruce frowned imperceptibly. Although he had always prided himself on being the center of attention, it still didn't make him feel so comfortable being stared at by a man who was in tatters and indistinguishable from a beggar. Especially the beggar's eyes, with a hint of closeness to him. Who did he think he was, he was just a beggar, how could he be close to the great Young Master Bruce?

The people around him also felt his unhappiness. Fit Wood, a chubby teenager around Bruce, sensed Bruce's emotions, looked at the dumb standing in the middle of the road, and said loudly, "When will our sacred campus also allow beggars to enter." It's really defiled our campus. ”

Another teenager, Dodd Frans, said, "It looks like a new handyman, supposedly a slave." I wonder what Abbot Paon thinks would allow a slave to be our handyman. ”

Fett looked at the shabby cotton clothes on Ben's body, and did not hide the disgust in his eyes at all, "Such a person should be forbidden to enter the campus." ”

"Stop making fun of a handyman. After all, handymen are also part of the campus. Bruce tilted his chin slightly, and said softly in a somewhat nasal voice, "Let's hurry up, I think Princess Rose must be in a hurry." As a knight of the princess, how can you let the princess wait. ”

"Yes, Master Bruce. You, as the princess's first knight, really shouldn't be late. Dodd said with a flattering smile on his face.

Reserved and reserved, Bruce nodded slightly, agreeing with Dodd's words.

So, this group of heavenly pride walked past the stupid side. Except for Bruce, everyone else had undisguised disgust and contempt on their faces.

Stupid naturally heard these people's discussions, and saw these people's eyes, he lowered his head slightly, feeling a little frustrated. After all, no one who is called a beggar will be so happy. Although he used to be called this by people a lot, he suddenly felt that he hated people calling him a beggar when he thought that the people who would study with him in the future and the people who would become classmates with him would also call him so.

At this time, a soft little hand grabbed Ben, and Ben looked down and saw light snow-green, wet eyes. With a smile in his eyes, with care, with closeness, "Brother, we are not beggars. Ignore the proud. ”

Stupid heard Qingxue say this, and nodded slightly. The inner grievances are all gone. As long as he held this hand, he felt a sense of security inside. As long as this person is by his side, he feels that the whole world is beautiful.

It took three mornings to finally remove the snow from the entire campus road. On the evening of the third day, Ben took light snow and visited the dean of Paan.
