"Master, you're going to be a good person again. ∽ ↗ ∽ ∽ ∽ ↗ ∽ ∽ ∽ ∽ ∽ ∽ ∽ ∽ ∽ ∽ ∽ ∽ ↗ ↗ �

The black-clothed little Lori looked at the three little orc girls who were cautious and often peeked here when eating, and lay on Xia's back and said:

"We haven't had an income for a long time......"

She was telling the truth, since she didn't take another commission, only the Baron's Court came in once, and then someone exchanged the gold scroll he got to Kevin cheaply, and the two have been spending ever since, and they have not been paid at all for doing good deeds.

"Isn't there something in the elven treasury, which can be sold?"

Xia knew that her artifact Lori attached great importance to her livelihood, so she comforted her.

When she first returned to the mainland, she had neither money nor daring to attract attention, and her strength was not strong enough to run around, so she had a miserable life at that time; For a while, it was only Stephanie who stole the rich man's food to survive.

Seeing the owner starving and freezing in the wild, it was a great stimulus to the black-clothed little Lori during that time, and she became more concerned about money than when she was on Necronomicon Island.

"But a lot of those are magic prop owners, and now they are all used."

The little Lori in black said worriedly.

"As long as it is not in the final stage, this hurdle will soon pass." Natsu took her to her lap:

"The treasures of the elves are all powerful props and ancient equipment, we can store them in the auction hall of the royal capital, and let the auction house sell them as soon as the special period is over. There are a lot of rich people here, and they will definitely be able to sell for a good price. ”

"What if the final stage does come, master."

The little Lori in black grabbed her clothes and asked, her eyes full of fear.

This is not the fear of poverty. It's the fear of losing the owner.

"Stupid, is it still useful to have money?"

Xia slapped her lightly: "Don't think about it, what to do when the time comes, if not, hide in the elven secret realm, I don't believe that the Star of Destruction can affect there." ”

"Well, that's what it looks like."

It didn't hurt at all. The little Lori in black rubbed her hand with her head, and finally understood the key.

"Sister...... Sister ......"

At this moment the three little girls came together, and Polly timidly spoke:

"We ...... Eaten. ”

Lulu and Ruya hugged her beside them, glancing at the kind magician sister from time to time, and then quickly hid her head.

"Are you really full?"

Xia looked at the licked and clean plate, the orcs ate much more than humans, and the food she took this time was actually not much.

After all, even if there was a pill she refined, she didn't dare to let the hungry three people eat too much.

The three little girls nodded.

"There's hot water in the room, go take a shower."

Natsu didn't know where to conjure up a few clean towels. It was handed to them.

Hearing the word shower, the three of them shrank in fright.

But when they saw Xia's face, they reacted, the sister in front of them shouldn't be like those men who do bad to themselves, the three of you look at me, I look at you, and finally sneaked into the bathroom with a towel.

"Master, aren't you going?"

The little Lori in black was strange.

"Nope. I'm not a young girl. ”

Xia said angrily:

"And bathing is a very private thing, and even adults don't want to show their bodies in front of others. What's more, if it's three children who are so wary, that will only make them feel bad. ”

"Sister......

Polly, a little cat girl, poked her head out of the bathroom:

"We're not going to use this thing."

"Let me see."

Natsu walked into the bathroom and found that there was actually a charging device on the sprinkler.

The device is rudimentary, but it looks sturdy, made entirely of fine copper, and has a coin slot at the front. It reads, "1 copper coin for 1 minute, 1 silver coin for no time." ”

“…… What the hell is this? ”

It's the first time Xia has seen such a thing.

"Wait for me."

She reluctantly walked out, and after a while she came in with a silver coin and threw it into the copper box.

The silver coins jingled all the way down, and after a while. A stream of water ejects from the sprinkler.

"Polly, I don't want to take a shower......"

Lulu, a fox-eared little girl, saw the water squirting out with a little fear in her eyes.

"If you don't wash it this time, you will only have a chance until you leave the city."

Polly persuaded her for a long time, and finally Lulu took off her clothes.

Xia noticed that their clothes were tied with ropes, which should be the last means of defense that several people could think of, sighed in his heart, and closed the bathroom door for them.

Maybe it's because they haven't taken a hot bath for a long time, and the three little guys came out after a long time, surrounded by the bath towels that Xia prepared for them, and their hair and tails are wet, and they look very good.

"Lulu is a fox, Polly is a cat lady, and Rua ...... Is it a bear? ”

Natsu looked at the tail that was showing behind the three of them, Rua was a brown ball, Polly's cat tail was moving around, and Lulu was dragging a big hairy tail.

Their vigilance had decreased a lot at this time, and they had been frolicking inside for a while just now, and when they came out, their little faces were flushed, showing a trace of innocence that should be at this age.

"Here's your clothes."

Xia took out a few clothes suitable for them to wear, which she asked the little Lori in black to buy in disguise.

"Thank you, sister!"

Lulu ran over with her eyes shining, picked up her own, and ran to the bed to put it on.

Originally, Xia wanted to ignore the insolence and look away, but accidentally swept the shocking scar on her back.

The scar looked like a whip, and it was interspersed with pits from sharp objects, with the largest mark extending from her neck up into her hair, and it looked terrifying.

"Polly, Rua, come here."

Natsu's face darkened. Reaching out and taking off the bath towels of the two, he found that although they also had injuries on their bodies, they were not as strict as Lulu.

"Sister, Lulu has been badly injured and has no memories of her past."

Polly was smart enough to see her gaze and know what the kind sister was thinking:

"We met in the slums of the royal capital. Then the rendezvous ran all the way outside, and Lulu never mentioned herself, and ......"

Glancing cautiously at Lulu, who was happily dressed, Polly whispered:

"I feel Lulu's head, a little ......"

In fact, this is already a bad word, but there is only sadness on her face.

Natsu stroked her hair, thinking that it was no wonder that the fox, who was supposed to be the smartest, looked the stupidest, because of a head injury.

"Amnesia...... I used to think that this kind of bridge was too vulgar, but I really saw this scene in front of me. I don't feel that way anymore. ”

She walked over and ruffled Lulu's hair, and found that the scar had stopped at the back of her head, and if it had gone any further, it would have killed her, because Lulu was too young to have any resistance.

Sensing her hand, Lulu looked up, squinting at her eyes to reveal two small teeth. The wet tail wagged back and forth, and it seemed to be happy.

Wait until all three of them are dressed in new clothes. Natsu carried them to the bed and asked about their experiences.

The reason why the three little guys have not been insulted by the bad guys so far is actually because of a law.

Whoever increases the number of aliens is a felony!

This is an ancient law, said to have been made by the Emperor during the Interracial War, and is still in force in many countries. Now it is being used by the technological kingdom of Sadara.

After the rise of Sadara, he absorbed a large number of aliens with the slogan of non-discrimination and freedom, and greatly expanded his army and population. And because of the advanced technology and good living standards, it is called a paradise on earth by many people.

Originally there were many humans in Sadara. However, these people are very open-minded and do not have much resistance to foreign races, so some sub-races of orcs are the mainstay, and many disadvantaged races have moved there, thus becoming another miscellaneous country on the continent.

In this way, the difference between Jofes and Sadhara is that the strong are respected, and the other is peaceful and free...... At least on the surface; Most of the weaker races chose to go to Sadara because they could get better safety and security there. ”

Xia listened to their words and thought in his heart.

"We listened to the nuns while begging for food in the church."

Polly was the most articulate and told Natsu how they heard the rumor:

"The nun said that Sadhara had no slaves and no one bullied us, and that there was food for free."

She wagged her long tail and said, "It's almost winter, and there are monsters in the wilderness, so we don't dare to go there to find a cave, so we can only sleep in the grass...... But there were patrols around the city, and they would have chased us away, and some orcs had been killed as spies. ”

She looked scared when she said this, and the other two hugged her tightly, as if recalling the terrible scene at that time.

"Your body is very weak, so let's sleep here in peace."

Xia saw the gesture of the little Lori in black, and knew that enough time had passed after they finished eating, so he asked the three of them to lie down on the big bed and covered them with quilts.

"Let's rest and go again tomorrow."

Thinking of the monsters that were flooding the Plains of Nuo'an Gorge, Xia decided to take care of his spirits; It would be too wasteful to use the light of job change all the way around.

After a while, he found a small body in his arms.

This was followed by the second, the third...... Obviously, the bed over there is bigger and more comfortable, but the three little guys invariably got into this side.

"Mom's ......"

The first to burrow into her arms was Lulu, the little fox with her face buried in her chest, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Forget it, so be it."

Hearing these two words, the softest part of Xia's heart was touched, and the idea of driving them back was dispelled.

She hugged the three young girls, patted them on the back, and soon, all three of them fell asleep.

……

"Cover your ears and tail like this, and no one will recognize you."

Natsu covered the hat on the robe and looked at Ruya, who only showed a small face. Affectionately tapped on her head.

"Sister, we ......"

Polly tugged at the hem of her shirt next to her.

"What's wrong?"

Natsu crouched down in front of her.

"We talked it over...... I want you to be our host. ”

Polly plucked up her courage and said.

"I remember you don't seem to want to find your master? Why have you changed your mind now. ”

Xia asked strangely.

"We think...... You are very good to us and will not abuse us. ”

Polly timidly replied:

"We have seen many times before, those people beat slaves with whips and iron rods, and every once in a while in the royal capital, the corpses of the beaten slaves would be transported out of the city, and we were afraid."

"My sister won't hit us. Gave us something to eat, helped us with a bath, and helped us buy new clothes; It hurts to be burned with a soldering iron, but Lulu can endure it. ”

Lulu also said as she tugged at her clothes.

"I don't know how to use a soldering iron, I don't want to be your master."

Xia shook his head and said.

Her words caused the heads of the three little girls to bow down.

"We ...... Nothing. ”

Polly wiped her eyes and said:

"My sister doesn't want us, and we can't help it......"

"Who says I don't want you anymore?"

Natsu hugged the three of them together and kissed them on the foreheads.

A small mark lit up where they had been kissed, and for some reason, the three of them felt a little closer to the sister opposite in their hearts.

"Although I am not your master, I am still the sister of the three of you...... It's a family imprint. There's my magic on it so that the connection between us doesn't break. ”

In fact, this thing does not contain magic power, but a kind of soul contract, Xia did not use a slave contract, but used an upgraded version similar to a friendship contract, where the powerful party provides shelter to the other party, in addition to being able to know that the other party is in danger, it can also have a certain protective effect.

After all, these three little guys are too weak. I couldn't protect them all the time, so I had to take this compromise approach.

"I will go to the royal capital. I will take you with me; But I have other things to do, and I'll put you there for the time being, and I'll come back when things are taken care of. ”

Xia dressed up the three of them, put away their magic staffs, changed into mercenary costumes, and walked out of the hotel with a long sword on his back.

"You're going out of town?"

The guards at the city gate looked at the female mercenary and the three dwarfs behind her:

"Don't you know that the city gate has been blocked by monsters recently?" He shouted to those above the gates:

"Hey! Let these people go up and have a look. ”

Natsu, led by the guards, walked up the city wall and saw the scene outside the city. The three little girls were so frightened that they hid behind her.

In front of them, dense blood-red eyes appeared, staring at the people above the city gate.

"They don't attack, but they don't leave, they just keep spending time with us."

Perhaps because the other party was a woman, the guard enthusiastically explained:

"The magic is disturbed and the monsters that fly with dark magic can't rush up. There are few of us with fleshy wings, and we are more than capable of dealing with ......."

Before he could finish his words, the group of monsters below suddenly stirred.

"Attention!"

A scout who was closely observing the monster's movements in the outpost shouted:

"Something seems to be coming out."

"Miss Mercenary, if your strength is very strong, you can defend the city with us here, this is the plan proposed by the general."

The guard looked down and said hurriedly:

"If you don't think you can do it, go down quickly, it looks like something is going to happen soon."

"You three go to the hotel and wait for me."

Natsu pulled out the long sword behind him.

Although the three of Polly were reluctant to leave her, they were not stupid, and knew that they would only get in the way here, so they turned back and walked down the city wall step by step, looked down for a while, and ran hand in hand towards the inn.

"Monster siege? I don't think so. ”

Xia looked at the number of monsters below, although it was indeed quite a lot, but it was only a few thousand, and the guards in the city were more than that.

"Master, no particularly powerful monsters have been found."

The little Lori in black looked at it for a long time and reported.

"Brothers, this young lady is also here to fight monsters with us, don't be ashamed!"

Seeing her draw her sword, the guard glanced appreciatively at the mercenary who had not shown her face, and turned to the other guards and shouted.

"Don't worry, Wag City has not been attacked by the enemy since it was established!"

One of the guards shouted.

Some whistled and some screamed, which made Natsu wonder if he had made a bad decision.

"The people who volunteered to help defend the city are standing on the left!"

An officer-like man rode a lizard-like monster up the city wall and gave a command:

"Don't come below the swordsman (2 turn swordsman), we can't care about saving people when we fight!" (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
