"Huh?......" Helena was a little surprised, seeing that Renault's appearance was not a joke, and he would not be able to go to such a lowly little house as a fishman if he had to accompany him at night, could this be his reluctant invitation? At the thought of this, Helena's face was feverish.

Seeing that Helena in a daze hadn't answered, Renault only said that she was hesitating, and hurriedly added: "Miss Helena, I dare to guarantee that we are not bad people, and besides, I can pay you two more silver coins a day as accommodation expenses, and in a few days, after the problem of my Nobel magic card is solved, there will be another heavy reward." Of course, Renault knew that his magic card would not be usable for the rest of his life, and the reason why he said this was that he was confident that he would earn money in a few days.

Helena was a little flattered: "Sir, you are serious, it is Helena's honor to be a guest in the cold house, but my family is too simple and narrow, I am afraid that I have wronged Mr." ”

Seeing that Helena had agreed, Renaud hurriedly made a final decision: "No grievances, no grievances, it's decided, hahaha......"

Helena lived on the edge of a small river in the eastern suburbs, far from the city, and Helena had to walk two small roads to get to the dock where she was most likely to be hired, and even a monster ride seemed a luxury, so she had to get up early in the morning, because many of the boats arrived for breakfast, and the chances of receiving business in the evening were greatly reduced, and if she could not find a single guest in a row, then she would have to starve, because the rest of the family's savings could only last so long.

The houses on the banks of the river are closely connected one by one, and the materials are the roughest stones, which are piled up one by one, and the places that do not fit together are blocked with the skins of some sea beasts, so as not to be blown by the wind and rain, and they are not even qualified, let alone any beauty.

All the people who lived here were fish-man women, and they were all amazed to see Helena bring back two strangers of other races, and they ran out to see the excitement, but they didn't dare to talk, just stood at a distance and pointed, and they were very envious of her good luck. Renault, who was an outsider, didn't notice anything, but Helena lowered her head and hurried forward, fortunately, when night fell, there were not many street lights in the slums, otherwise she would be ashamed to death.

It wasn't until the key was opened that Helena breathed a sigh of relief.

Renault carefully looked at the supplies, and it was indeed as cold and deserted as Helena called the "Humble House", with only a few wooden stools, a table, and some daily necessities in the entire hall. However, Helena used various conches and shells to connect strings of ornaments, which made the whole house look much more elegant.

Seeing Renault's eyes sweeping around the living room, Helena said embarrassedly: "Mr. Renault, I'm sorry, my house is too simple." On the way back, Renault had already told the names of several of his own.

Not even a mirror image of the optical system. So where does the most basic spiritual entertainment that human beings need come from? It seems that the polarization of Akarin is really serious enough, and the living standard of the fish-people is much worse than that of the people at the lowest level of the Tang Dynasty. But Renault didn't mind, and there was a creek behind the house. The fresh breeze with moisture penetrated through the stone window, and it was still full of comfort. Erin didn't mind even more, as she was unemployed, she didn't know how miserable it was.

Renaud smiled disapprehantly, "It's okay, but Miss Helena, you're really a clever person." ”

Erin agreed, "yes, these things are beautiful, Helena." ”

Seeing Helena's restrained appearance, she looked like she was the master, but she was a guest, and she looked very embarrassed.

Helena only said that she was referring to the shell ornaments, and seeing that he did not dislike it, the big stone who had been worried that he would be looked down upon put down, and said happily in her heart: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Invite Renaud and Erin to sit down, and Helena pours them both a cup of tea.

I took a sip, although it was not a good tea, but it was also fragrant and pleasant, with the smell of the sea. Renault said to the mermaid, who was still busy, "By the way, Miss Helena. What about your mother?" because the Fish-People have no males, and when they reach biological maturity, they will give birth to the next generation on their own, so Renault does not ask his father.

Helena's back shuddered, then she stopped and said, "My mother died a few days ago, so I had to take office before I became a minor. ”

Renault said sadly, "I'm sorry, Miss Helena. And he didn't expect Helena to be really underage, probably because of her developed body, well, no one to shelter at a young age. Having to bear such a heavy burden, Renaud sighed.

Helena forced a smile: "It doesn't matter, people always have to face first, don't they? And my mother told me on her deathbed that I must live well, life is precious!"

Renaud had a better impression of her, and the poor little mermaid was still a very crescendo, optimistic and generous girl. And her mother, although of low status, is definitely a respectable person.

Erin also seemed to think of her miserable life in the realm of kings, and her sympathy rose for a while, but unfortunately she couldn't help now. However, he secretly planned that if Renault could make enough money, he would ask him to help Helena anyway.

......

Leander, the head of the Auction Guild of Verella City, was particularly annoyed today, because some things had been extremely discordant last night, to be more precise, the past few years had been discordant, and because he had been treated too many concubines, he had greatly reduced his function in his forties, and finally it had reached the point where he could no longer become normal. What's even worse is that half a year ago, when one of his concubines was chatting with other officials and nobles in the city, he accidentally leaked out of his mouth at this time, and the result was spread to ten, ten to hundred, and it didn't take long for the whole city to know. In fact, he is not the only one who has that kind of obstacle, on the contrary, there are many more. People in the upper echelons of society, who do not have rich conditions? Many people like him who do not know moderation will have the same problem, and if they think about it a little, they can only say, if beautiful women are readily available, and the golden house is hidden, how many men can not be crazy? But those people who are similar to Leander all hide their secrets very well, and now that there is an unlucky guy, everyone naturally tries their best to make fun of it, in order to show that they are normal, and to make up for their inferiority complex with this pleasure. The inferior mentality of human beings has made Leander the unfortunate laughing stock of the people in the city. Fortunately, after the initial embarrassment, Leander gradually got used to it.
