Robertson led Mephis on a tour around the orphanage, and saw many buildings that had been abandoned for many years, many of which were crawling with vines, and even alarmed a large swarm of rats when they walked inside, and since the evacuation of Melnia's people, all Robeson could maintain was the church and a living room at the back of the church.

"We tried to build a diocese here and spread the faith around it, but we failed."

"The event that made you completely change your perception was the matter of the migrants, right? I've heard about it, and I've heard a lot about the inequality you've suffered. ”

"God has taught us that to spread the faith, in addition to being pious at all times, is to let the people see that their lives are better, but ......"

Mountain people refer to the people who live in the isolated primitive villages in the deep mountains, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the mountain people gather and hunt everywhere all year round, because of the terrain, these people are unwilling to farm, so they will encounter a lack of food reserves every winter, and the situation is even worse when the mountains are closed by heavy snow, and they have to ask for help from the big cities almost every year, begging for relief food to survive the winter.

In order to make a real achievement, the Holy Maiden did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to migrate the mountain people, spent a huge amount of money to buy land, sent priests to treat various diseases for the mountain people, sent knights to expel wild beasts and punish extralegal fanatics, hired craftsmen to build new villages for the mountain people, reclaimed wasteland for the mountain people, bought tools and seeds for the mountain people, taught the mountain people literacy and theology, and successfully made the mountain people self-reliant...... So two years later, the village and town went to the empty building, and the mountain people ran back to the mountains.

"When I asked the people why they left, I got answers that I will never forget."

"What is it?"

"It's too hard to farm the land, so it's better to eat relief food."

This failure directly cured the Holy Maiden's illness, and the land was sold back to the clergy at a cheap price to raise enough money for the passage back to China, and the Holy Maiden returned to China angrily and transferred to the military ranks and set foot on the battlefield, never to ask about missionary affairs again.

There is really no way to comment on this, and Mephis saw that Robertson's interest was not high, so he skipped this topic.

The library was built on the side of the orphanage, which could easily attract the attention of passers-by, and some people who wanted to find trouble with the orphanage had to go through the library first, and then Mephis planned to make use of the dilapidated buildings one by one.

The orphanage and church are much more rudimentary, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are in disrepair, and Mephis is really worried that living in them will die due to the accident of the collapse of the house, and then inspecting the kitchen and bathroom and other places nearby, and the poverty life makes Mephis really feel compassion, it is hard to imagine living all year round with only cold water this winter, and eating bran that is difficult to swallow and unknown wild vegetables comparable to forage.

Continuing inside, Mephis heard the laughter of a group of children, and through the window she could see the golden figure, a small room, but the only place in the entire orphanage that had been repaired, where the children did not have to worry about leaks, and there were about fifty people gathered here.

Alicia rode a little girl around her neck, and two hands hoisted the other two children to play a flying game, playing the role of a merry-go-round to coax the youngest children to play, and halfway through the game, someone mentioned the game of eagle catching chickens, so Alicia played the role of the chicken mother again, and only an outsider stood alone outside in the harmonious atmosphere of the audience.

Half of these orphans are human, the other half are half-beasts of different races, most of them have chilblains scars, and among them are the daughter of a rabbit with long ears, for some reason, whose furry rabbit ears are cut off from the middle, and despite her physical disability, she smiles in bitter joy at this time.

Heviel stood outside the house in a complicated mood at this time, hiding in an unnoticed corner until Mephiss appeared.

"Master Mephis, there's nothing wrong here other than a lot of repairs."

"Oh." Mephis nodded, I don't know why, but Hervier took the initiative to say this to hope to leave early, after the meeting, Mephis immediately turned to Dean Roberson, "I, an outsider, won't go in to disturb today, presumably my assistant has already investigated the situation inside, and there is time for other things to be implemented in the library, and I plan to prepare some gifts." ”

"Don't mind, the children will be happy to know that you are here, there has been no volunteer for a long time, everyone will be happy to know the news."

"Well, let's take it as a surprise, Miss Alicia will surprise you today, and I'll bring my own surprise tomorrow."

Despite Roberson's repeated attempts to keep him, Mephis left quickly, in part because of Herveil.

Mephis would not be unaware of the situation of the two magic guides, whether it was Hevier or Alicia, both Hervier and Alicia had their own plans, since Heviel had already been in contact with Alicia, it would be a bit redundant for him to say anything now, and there were some suspicions that he would not look at the atmosphere, and judging from Hevier's appearance, the old people broke up unhappily.

On the way back, Mephis asked why, the original plot he conceived was that the villager saw the villager with tears in his eyes, but the plot did not follow the script, which made him very puzzled, and what made him even more troublesome was that the current Herviel was not as cheerful as usual, no matter why she was silent, and her eyes full of complicated feelings showed that she buried all the problems in her heart.

Heviel stopped talking several times, as if unable to muster up the courage, and her face darkened, her obsidian eyes shining with sadness.

"I knew you had something to ask me at the fingertips, but I was afraid to hear the answer to my fears, didn't I?"

"Huh...? No, I ......."

Mephis guessed correctly, and even had a slight guess about the question that Hevier wanted to ask, so Hevier dodged her gaze, and finally calmed down and asked in a low voice.

"Master Mephis, have we been abandoned?"

Hervier had become unconfident because she had lost her memory, and as soon as the question fell, Mephis slapped her forehead with the Book of Origins with her backhand.

"Have I abandoned you?"

“…… Ay? ”

"So, who do you think I'm from? My presence is the best proof that you have not been abandoned or forgotten. ”

Hervier was suddenly stunned, looked at Mephis incredulously, and suddenly realized that she had neglected the most important issue, and her face turned red after a little distraction, with a slightly embarrassed tone.

"It's all because Lord Mephis is usually too unserious that I have that delusion."

"Blame me?"

Mephis's mind was different, the plot of the gaming era was exactly the opposite of what he had just said.

When he returned to the inn, Mephis saw an anxious fat man standing in the crowd from a distance, and he knew how miserable it was when his eyes were black, and he was afraid that he didn't dare to sleep until now, and when he saw Mephiss coming, he ran all the way over.

"Mr. Mephis! Mr. Mephis! You're back......"

"I thought you'd sleep until noon."

"Hey! Where can you sleep, Mr. Mephis, has that monster been destroyed? ”

"Of course, the monster has been destroyed, the evidence has been submitted to the association for review, and the only thing left is to take the bounty and issue a notice, maybe just a few days."

"Great!"

Hearing the news, Phippley clapped his hands violently, he really breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person's mental state was much better, and then the whole person looked very lost.

"What? Not happy? ”

"No, no, no, of course I'm happy, but there are a lot of troubles, I am completely smashed in this transaction, and I have to compensate the Chamber of Commerce for not knowing how much loss...... Hey~ I won't mention it. I'm here to thank Mr. Mephis, who saved my life twice, I don't know how to repay it, after all, I'm just a businessman, I can't get anything good, so I just repay you in the way of a merchant, please go to Happy Street......"

Phippley said that he shut up when he saw Hevier halfway, but the meaning was very simple, that is, please have a meal and rub it, and if it is an ordinary old man, then go and have fun and take care of the girls' business.

"The Chamber of Commerce will definitely be held accountable, and I will be subject to the investigation at that time, but to tell the truth, I can still deal with it, but I am afraid that the compensation will be compensated, and I will be bankrupt."

"I can't really see it."

"Let's not talk about bad luck, I have to suffer, hey, it's really unlucky."

It's quite unlucky, and if you don't handle it well, you will even go to jail, and in this regard, Phipley himself has a headache, and he has his own means of coping.

In the luxury hotel, Phipley set up a table of sumptuous food to entertain Mephis, seeing that he was not in the mood to eat, and Mephis did not mind, filling himself alone, and then speaking, the businessman must be more than grateful for his hospitality.

"At this time, autumn is approaching, and there must be a lack of all kinds of winter materials on the grassland, so I plan to go there to find opportunities for activities, but I am not very familiar with there, I know that Mr. Mephis is a scholar, and I must be well-informed, and I hope to give advice."

After saying that, Phippley also muttered in his heart, why didn't he think of it before inviting guests to dinner? Mephis is so young, what if he's Mephis? First, I don't know business, and second, I haven't necessarily been to the grassland. It seems that this meal is going to be in vain, forget it, just take it as a real gratitude.

Mephis is also planning in his heart, and he is worried that the association's bounty will not be issued for a long time, and he has no money to prepare gifts for the orphanage, and now Phipley has taken the initiative to come over, how can he not seize the opportunity? I quickly recalled the plot about the grassland in the game era in my mind, and after a few calculations, I had an idea.

"You really pick the time, it's very risky to trade with foreign peoples at this time, and even some tribes are robbers themselves, you have to be careful. The various tribes have their own customs and customs, and trading with them is bartering, and you may not be able to exchange ordinary winter supplies for good things, you have to exchange them for luxury goods and urgently needed materials. ”

Phipley immediately pricked up his ears when he heard this, he didn't have hope, but when he heard this, he found that there was an unexpected drama. Any businessman doesn't know that the most profitable trade is not necessarily the sale of valuables or rare treasures, but to do what he likes, and this is the plan of Phippley's trip to the grassland, otherwise it is just an ordinary business transaction to go to such a dangerous place to join in the fun.

"Which tribes need what kind of goods?"

"Guess what?"

"This ......"

Needley was in a difficult situation, and he understood the value of the news, and was about to make an offer to buy it, when Mephis gave him another option.

"Let's make a deal too."

"Please."

Fippley sat up straight and cautiously, bound to keep every word firmly a few times, and definitely not missing any information.

"Do you know about the orphanage in Melnia?"

"You know, it's still there?"

"Tomorrow I will prepare the information you need, and what you have to do is to bring in enough supplies for life, everything is needed, and everything is lacking there."

"That's it?"

Mephis smiled and took a sip of red wine.

"I'm going to renovate the entire orphanage."

This is not something that can be done with a small amount of money, but a big project, and Phippley was a little embarrassed, this is not something he can do.

"Don't worry, the matter of repairing the orphanage will be talked about when you come back, and when you make money, it will be another attitude to think about it."

"You are too exalted to me, I know, the house over there has been empty and in disrepair, and it has to be demolished and rebuilt inside and out, and the money needed for such a big project is not something that I, a small businessman, can afford."

"You don't believe it? Come on, I'll show you palmistry and give you a prediction of how much you can earn on this trip to the grassland. ”

Mephis asked the fat man to spread his hands, and then talked a lot about the lifeline and career line, and told Phipley about the brains he learned on the Internet.

Phippley was stunned when he heard it, the key is that he believed it, as a businessman, even if there are many unintelligible terms, he subconsciously feels powerful, because the person who divined him is a magician, and now Phippley really feels that he has a great advantage.
