"Stop, hand over your money, or I'll make you regret coming to the Gold Capital!"

In a dimly lit alley, a few half-grown children suddenly ran out of the corner next to them, holding pieces of iron picked up from the garbage heap in their hands, and said to Axter and a few people with their teeth and claws.

Looking at their unkempt appearance, Ling and the warrior monks had unbearable thoughts in their hearts, usually as they lived in the city gate area, they had already lived a poor life, but most of them were beggars or thieves in the gang, at least they could live a meal a day and a bath once a few days. But now because of the **** of almost a month and a half in Ascatila, these children are desperate and can only be forced to come out to do the livelihood of cutting paths.

There is almost no way to survive this kind of robbery in the city, except for those patrols, there are countless adventurers, merchants, and nobles in the city, and none of them can be provoked, they can only bully and bully the poor, if they encounter a little power and ability, these children will face a tragic fate.

Don't think that the identity of a child can be used as their protective umbrella, most of the people who come out to mix are more or less perverted in their hearts, such as Kogan, although this dwarf usually can't show it, but the desire to kill in his bones is very serious, this disease is called blood craving in the memory of Axter's previous life, and he will be sad if he doesn't see some blood for a day.

Seeing the dwarf stand up murderously, Axter stopped him with one hand.

"Don't use the killer, just a little sanction." Axter can't talk about kindness, but he still can't do it when he lets him slaughter a kid who has no power to restrain the chicken, and Axter has encountered this situation before, but it's all about hitting the opponent until he breaks a bone as punishment. Although he knew that breaking the bones of those half-grown children would actually cost them half their lives.

The dwarf Kogan had a gloomy expression on his face after hearing Axter's words, but fortunately, he was also a killer today, he shook his head and put away his hammer, but when Axter was about to make a move, Ling stopped him again. Dongfang Mai Ji shook her head at Acoste, if the group of children I met last time was specialized in this, then the group of children I met now definitely came out out of desperation.

They don't even have a decent weapon in their hands.

"Here are a few gold coins, take them, leave the city with your loved ones, and live by your own efforts." Ling walked in front of the little boy who took the lead, Ling who has always loved cleanliness didn't care about the other party's messy and greasy hair, and gently touched each other with her white and clean palm, and then gave a few gold coins.

Chaotic and kind people are like this, when they are in a bad mood, no one cares, but when they are in a whim, they can help others regardless of the return.

However, the child did not take the gold coin given by Ling, and his little face was full of tangles written together, and his dirty hands were raised several times, but they were quickly put down. Finally, after thinking about it for a long time, he took his head and looked directly at Ling's beautiful face with clear eyes.

"Beautiful and kind young lady, thank you for the gold coins you gave me, my name is Louis. Costello. But it's unlikely that we'll get out of here safely with the gold, and if you can, can you take us with you? Leaving this place? The little boy looked up at Ling, who was two heads taller than him, and his eyes were full of sincerity and hope. He was a very smart boy, despite his young age, he already knew a lot of things that adults didn't know, and although the wealth in front of him was tempting, in the chaotic city gate area, they couldn't stand it at all, and it would become the source of death, and now he could let go of this temptation, which really shocked Acoste.

He was gambling, seeing Ling's kindness and the luxurious equipment he was carrying, he was betting that the other party was a noble lady with his own territory, if he won the bet, then he could live a stable life, even if he was a manservant and a handyman, it was much stronger than the current precariousness, not to mention that he couldn't eat enough and had no place to sleep, and even survival was not guaranteed, if it weren't for Louis's very far-sightedness, he would have insight into the opportunity to choose to avoid it every time he encountered danger, otherwise their group of children would have died long ago.

If they weren't hungry this time, they wouldn't have come out to find Acoste at all.

Ling turned to look at Acoste, her eyes full of inquiry and a hint of pleading.

Acoste shrugged his shoulders and said that this matter is all up to you. Dongfang Dancing Girl excitedly ran to the half-elf's side and smacked at the side of Acoste's face. At the same time, the group of children also showed joy, they had long learned to observe words and feelings, and they knew that there was a drama in this matter.

"Take this. Go to the Temple of Justice in the temple area and stay there, and if nothing else, we'll be back to pick you up in two days. Acoste took out a parchment scroll and wrote nothing, except for his noble medal in the lower right corner.

Now he really doesn't have a territory to house so many people, but with the status of a nobleman, it is not a problem to let the temple take care of them for a few days, not to mention that his newly recruited knight servant Yue Nuo is still in the Temple of Justice.

Acoste chose to accept this group of children, Ling's affection is on the one hand, and he values the wisdom shown by the other party more, and this mature performance is enough to win him a sheltered position on Acoste's side, even if he doesn't have the talent to become a professional, it is more than enough to become a housekeeper or something in the future.

Don't think that the housekeeper is very good, a noble housekeeper, not to say who knows astronomy and geography, but must be arithmetic and lingua franca must be learned, and must have a brain, nobles generally will not come forward in person except for what major things, what trivial chores have to be handled by the housekeeper, small to formulate recipes and daily itinerary according to the tastes and living habits of the nobles, as big as dealing with other nobles to discuss matters, it can be said that the housekeeper is the most powerful role under the nobles, But the list on his body is not ordinarily heavy, so all the housekeepers look much older than ordinary people, and it is impossible for a person who does not trust the role of a housekeeper to be, Louis is a child, and if he is trained since childhood, Acoste can still be entrusted with important tasks.

Louis smiled at the first sight of the Order of Nobility, these children not only have his friends, but also his brothers and sisters, and those who depend on each other in a poor environment have a deeper friendship, and they are all creatures who can share weal and beg, but cannot share happiness.

But Louis was not carried away by the happiness that fell from the sky, he respectfully performed a non-standard etiquette to Acoste, and then left the place with a wary look.

A happy life is only one step away from you, and if the boat capsizes in the gutter at this time, it will be too cost-effective.
