Chapter 562: Black Rock Elephant Demon Core Necklace
Charles and the others moved out of the Big Tree Foot Hotel the next day and went to Maria's orphanage.
This orphanage is older than Artoria, and the original director is a time-traveler, this old brother did not join the war between humans and demons, but relied on a plug-in to hunt in the forest to feed a large family.
Hatsudaime occupied a large area for the orphanage, and the children usually relied on growing vegetables in the field to sell in the town to make ends meet.
However, the floods of the previous two years have increased the number of children here, and this year, the Grand Duke of Andorra has raised the land tax, which has caused the orphanage, which is already poor, to run out of funds.
Fortunately, the mink skins they hunted were sold for a good price, which freed the orphanage from paying taxes this year.
When Aubrey learned of this, he also donated some money in the name of the caravan, and Charles and the others came to stay here according to the standard of the Big Tree Foot Hotel, which made Brando, who had been sad for a while, relieved him so that he could concentrate on preparing for his wedding.
The weddings of the common people were not so elaborate and everything was simple, but it took some time for the children to inform their brothers and sisters who were still living in the principality.
On this day, Charles left the orphanage early in the morning and continued to hunt in the forest, and Diana began to lecture Ellie, Healy and Ah Wei.
According to the previously determined division of labor, it is the future master who really teaches the apprentices cooking skills, not the master, after all, Charles can't squat here for too long, and Diana is happy to preach here instead of returning to the intellectual city, where the flies are too annoying.
Artoria is helping Maria change the orphanage's ancestral wedding dress, which the first generation had bought from the elves and would wear to the orphanage's girls when they got married.
It's just that Sister Maria's body shape is a problem, and this wedding dress has to be changed.
Charles expressed extreme shock at Artoria's ability to do needlework, and Artoria said that she could also do acupuncture, so should someone try it?
Someone said that he would immediately send money to Mordred and ask her to pay for a cat as a pet.
In the past two days, everyone's life has been very fulfilling, especially Charles, who was smashed all over the mountain by a group of monkeys with wild fruits, and almost got lost.
The day before Maria's wedding, Charles returned from a hunt and went to the Big Foot Inn and found the steward's office.
The chief manager looked at Charles with a strange look today, and after seeing Charles's doubts, he explained: "There is a guest today who looks very much like His Royal Highness, if it weren't for the completely different temperaments, we would almost admit that we were mistaken." ”
Charles smiled and didn't care, he asked, "How are my things ready?"
The chief manager had already prepared, and took out a small tray from the drawer and placed it in front of Charles, in which were placed two gold necklaces, and the pendant of the necklace was a black magic core.
Charles looked at the necklaces carefully, then nodded in satisfaction.
The two black rock elephants had very good magic cores, and the elven masters made them into magical jewelry that could be attacked and defended.
At this time, the manager said: "It will take time to make the leather armor and ivory carvings, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it in the near future." ”
Charles said: "It doesn't matter, the leather armor is ready and sent to the orphanage, Diana receives it, and the ivory is ready and sent directly to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
The steward wrote them down.
Charles asked, "Do you have a way to find a suitable restaurant in Andorra la Vella?"
The manager said that he had to inquire about it, and Charles told him that he had news and told Diana.
Charles chatted with the manager for a while, complained a few words about the white jade meat of Snow Ridge Village, and then left. The manager of this hotel is also from Dashujiao Village, and his wife is from Xueling Village, and she was tossed out of her psychological shadow by her brother-in-law with a big bowl of lively insects.
In the evening, the town's shopping street ushered in the evening rush hour, and many adventurers who handed in the task were paid to replenish something.
At a makeshift stall, a young girl had just sent off a customer who had bought a few bottles of wound medicine.
Charles walked over and greeted, "Yo, Billy, how is business today?"
Now Bili has decided to live with Pietran, and in the past two days, Pietrand has been contacting the purchase, and she has rented a stall here to sell wound medicine.
As a result, Bili deliberately turned her head to the side, as if she didn't see Charles.
Charles pursed his lips and said, "I said, you should pay me back the money for the stockings last time, right?"
Bili turned her head and looked at Charles coldly, took the money from her money bag and handed it to him, and said, "Tsk, I called you just now and you pretended not to know, and now you know me when you ask for money?"
Charles was stunned for a moment, took the money and said, "I didn't come over just now, did you recognize the wrong person?"
Bili glanced at him and said, "Am I going to admit that you look like this?"
Charles frowned, remembered what the hotel manager had just said, and said, "I heard just now that there is a person who looks very similar to me, I guess you are wrong." ”
Bili obviously didn't accept this statement, and Charles didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he said, "I'm leaving, I'll come to Sister Maria's side early tomorrow." ”
As he left the town, the sun was setting, and Charles took advantage of the afterglow to walk to the orphanage outside the town.
A small river flows down the hill in the distance, past the fields of the orphanage, and then into the canal leading to Andorra la Vella.
A hand-dug ditch surrounds the orphanage's fields, and a fence stands on the bank on the inside, like the boundary river.
A stone bridge connects the two sides of the river, and a huge waterwheel creaks around the edge of the bridge, bringing the clear water through a erected trough to the settlement.
Downstream of the slate bridge is a small boat that can seat three or five people.
The orphanage was home to several rows of stone houses, which were sturdy, but the roof was straw.
It was already dark when Charles returned, and the children had already finished their dinner, and were now lining up on the playground to make sure no one had left and had not returned.
The boys and girls live in two separate rows, and Charles came to the girls' side and went into the room where Diana lived with Ellie and Healy.
"Master. ”×2
Ellie and Healy immediately stood up to say hello when they saw Charles come in, and they were chatting just now.
Charles sat them down and said, "How's your study going?"
Ellie replied, "I learned a lot of things, but I didn't expect to be so particular about cooking." ”
Healy said, "There's something I haven't figured out yet. ”
Charles said: "You have to study hard now, when it comes to cooking, Diana can beat me down with one finger." ”
"She is very good in all aspects, and it is not a loss to learn from her, and we have high expectations for you. ”
Ellie and Shealy nodded together.
Then Charles took out the two necklaces and handed them to the sisters, saying, "What was given to you, protect yourself in the future." ”
After a while, Ah Wei, who was out for a stroll, just put her head through the wall and immediately retracted it, she flew in front of Diana, who was strolling with her just now, and said, "Senior sisters are hugging the master and crying." ”
Diana smiled, then pulled Ah Wei to turn around and leave, and went for a walk again.
