Traveling is to conquer the world

In Antinomie's opinion, this boy who grew up on Meteor Street named Kuroro was a complete weirdo.

Every time new rubbish was dumped, other people would scramble up to snatch the daily necessities. Only Kuroro was the last one to pass slowly, and unhurriedly found some readable books among the messy rubbish.

If it weren't for Kuroro's ability to always get food back from all kinds of weird places, he would almost think that this kid gave up on himself because he was too young to compete with those adults.

But this is obviously impossible, because every time Kuroro brings back food, he snatches it from those vicious big men.He will not follow other people to scramble for the first time, but when needed, he will unceremoniously go to the lucky ones who have snatched back the food to 'withdraw money'.

"Here, grab what you see is the only rule. I didn't rush to grab food, just because I had something more to grab back. When I need food, go to the guy who has food and grab it. gone."

The above words were the original words that Kuroro raised his eyebrows when Antinomie asked where the food came from.It is a very domineering thing to say that other Meteor Street people are ATM teller machines that can be used at any time.

When Kuroro said this casually, Antinomie looked at him in amazement for a while, unable to figure out why he, a child of only eight or nine years old, was able to escape from the hands of a strong adult. Grab food.In the eyes of Antinomie, who was stunned by the domineering aura for a fraction of a second, Kuroro, who was still young, seemed to have become the future leader of the underworld.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't been enlightened by an oracle from a priest for so long, that Antinomie almost forgot how accurate his talent for prophecy was.It was such a joking idea that turned around in my mind, but was confirmed as a fact by the notorious bandit group Phantom Troupe ten years later.

But it's not surprising, just like Kuroro said, grab whatever you want, the people on Meteor Street are outright robbers in their bones.As an existence with outstanding IQ and military strength among the robbers, it is normal to become the leader of the robbers.

As a person who grew up in a den of robbers and was educated by robbers since he was a child, it was only natural for Kuroro to grab food, but he who survived as a robber would actually like reading books quite a lot, but he couldn't help it. Don't let Antinomie get confused.

"Meteor Street is a place that accommodates everything that is not needed by the world, but even in Meteor Street, where everything is precious, books are things that few people care about. The stomach is not full, and no one has the heart to improve the spirit. Cultivation" Antinomie frowned slightly and said to himself, as if he was asking Kurolo, "Why are you so interested in books from the outside world?"

"This is the difference between humans and beasts. If they only exist for food, such a life can only be called the survival of livestock, not the life of humans. Although I am also in a fence full of beasts now, I I will not equate myself with the beast because of this. Material satisfaction can only fill the body, and the satisfaction of the soul has to rely on knowledge to obtain."

Sunlight seeped in through the square gap dug out of the iron sheet, and shone on the book that Kuroro had just turned a page.Kuroro, who was leaning against the simple window and reading a book, raised his head and smiled at the blue-haired boy with an inexplicable smile, "I told you that you are very lucky, if you meet other 'beasts' instead of me, it will You will never have the leisure to ponder the philosophy of life."

Kuroro's mocking chuckle came to his ears, and Antinomie's calm expression was not moved at all.He is not someone who will be impetuous and eager to prove himself because others look down on him, so whether Kuroro contemptuously thinks he is useless or admires him for being too powerful, it has no effect on him.

If he didn't even have this kind of heart, falling from Yunxiao who was worshiped by the gods as a god king to the mud where he made a living by helping others to refine gold would have killed him a hundred times.The reverence of admiration and ordinary intimacy have been seen a lot, and the opinions of others have no longer affected Antinomy's state of mind.

He was just wondering why Kuroro would have a hobby like reading books that runs counter to the values ​​of Meteor Street.

The analogy between Kuroro and the beast seems reasonable at first glance, but such a theory comes from the mouth of Kuroro, a Meteor Street man, which is the biggest abnormality.Antinomie, who couldn't understand where Kuroro's hobby came from, could only give up investigating, and sighed softly, "You still really don't fit in with Meteor Street."

Out of place, this was Antinomie's first impression when he saw the clean boy in the garbage dump, and it was also Kuroro's comment on Antinomie.The two boys who seemed to be about the same age also came to the same conclusion in Meteor Street, and it must be said that it was due to fate.

However, Antinomie's incompatibility stems from his demeanor and demeanor, which seems to come from a noble family and has received a good education, but no matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with the lower world. It looks like he should be drinking tea elegantly in an old castle The people who appeared in Meteor Street, where all the garbage was collected, would naturally give people a feeling of conflict.

Kuroro's contradiction is that he honestly faced his identity as a Meteor Street person and confessed his robber nature, but at the same time lightly dismissed other Meteor Street people as beasts and disdain to be with them.Even Meteor Street people are different from other Meteor Street people, which makes people feel conflicted.

A bandit with the temperament of a young literary and artistic youth, and a weirdo who can't figure it out.

This was Kuroro in Antinomie's eyes.

When the daylight was gradually dimming, and reading it would damage the eyesight, Kuroro, who seemed to be immersed in the world of books just now, closed the book and placed the book in his hand on a pile of various books as a On the alloy ladder to the bookshelf.

"Okay, tidy up all the philosophy of life in your mind, it's time for you to work." Kuroro walked up to Antinomie who was sitting on the small round stool, and looking down from a standing perspective was quite condescending "Continuing our topic from yesterday, Prometheus offended Zeus by sending fire to humans, what's next?"

As the sun set, the two boys hiding in the huge tin box started the evening storytelling activity again.One seriously recited the contents of the book verbatim, while the other listened intently, and would argue from time to time because of inaccurate contradictions.

weirdo?Kuroro also heard the adjective muttered by the other party when he was in deep thought, but in Kurollo's heart, he was afraid that Antinomie could deserve the title of weirdo more than himself.

Kuroro's favorite books are all kinds of ancient books, so he didn't expect too much from the blue-haired young master's narration. He felt that what the other party could tell was nothing more than stories and fables to coax children. , Talk is better than nothing.But after chatting with the other party, Kuroro was surprised to find that the amount of reading he was proud of seemed really worthless in front of the other party.

From astronomy to geography, from social humanities to modern science, whether it is mythology, unofficial history or anecdotal rumors, Antinomy all come at will.In the little head under the fluffy blue hair, it seems that all the books in countless libraries are stuffed, as if all the knowledge and wisdom in this world are in his memory.

Even if Kuroro had never met other people of the same age other than Antinomie, he could easily conclude that a person like him was definitely a complete freak among outsiders.

When we first met, the other party once said, "I have read too many books. If the condition is only "outside books" so general, then it will take ten years to finish all of them." Kurolo originally thought it was a child who is used to himself. Satisfied to boast, but judging from the contacts of the past few days, maybe that guy really didn't lie.

He looked about seven or eight years old, and even if he had been reading books uninterruptedly since he was born, it was impossible for him to read a huge amount of books that could not be fully described in ten years.A guy like this who always wears an old-fashioned expression and knows everything is not a weirdo, so what is a weirdo?

But what does it matter?Kuroro likes the satisfaction of ingesting knowledge. Before draining the endless reading volume of the other party, Kuroro is very happy to maintain the current breeding relationship. He only needs to pay a small amount of food in exchange for A mobile library, there's no better deal.

Kuroro, who has been carrying out what he likes to rob since he was a child, can be considered to have tasted the sweetness of not robbing, but seducing.Looking at the "trophy" he got from his first successful abduction, he still said the contents of the book with a stern face and a nice voice, Kuroro, who was extremely satisfied, felt that he had made a lot of money.
