Chapter 185: Discussion
There are many tables and chairs in the hall of the castle, where children play and study in groups, they all have one thing in common, their clothes are generally worn for several years, and even some little loli are too tasty, and the rough cloth shoes show their big white toes, most of which look too thin and malnourished.

"Come, children, apples and bread, everybody's share!" the children cocked their little heads, their eyes full of longing and excitement, but instead of acting, they all looked at Amanda.
Amanda smiled happily, "Line up, take your time one by one, don't squeeze your younger brothers and sisters, remember to thank your brothers and sisters!" Hearing this, the children burst into a burst of cheers, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, hundreds of children actually spontaneously lined up in a neat and long line, from front to back according to age, first young and then grown, without the slightest confusion, as if they had practiced thousands of times. Every child will have a bright smile on his face when he receives a gift, and then bow solemnly to the few people of the Wind Brigade, making them more and more uncomfortable.
"Tsk...... This is a really good teacher, who can manage hundreds of children obediently and educate them so well-behaved. Rodin couldn't help but admire in his heart.
The children who were given the fruit and bread did not eat it immediately, and it was quite touching that the first person they thought of was not themselves - but Amanda, and each child put half of the food in front of her.
The blonde-haired royal sister's smile became brighter and brighter, and she explained with a gentle look in her eyes, "The children are very sensible, I will save these gifts for them and eat them tonight or tomorrow." “
They ate in small bites, and seemed to enjoy it very much, and a few little Lori squinted their eyes and stretched out their pink tongues to clean the residues at the corners of their mouths every time they took a bite, and no waste was allowed.
Uma, Lino, Claire, and Lienon watched quietly, their eyes becoming softer and softer, as if a clear spring was flowing in their hearts, and their eyes were full of pity and love. And Rodin also clearly felt that the anger in his heart was disappearing, and all kinds of accumulated negative emotions seemed to be gently washed by the spring rain.
"Big brother...... You eat it too!" Suddenly an innocent and childish childish voice came, Rodin turned his head, only to find that the little Lori named Nanali was stretching out a red apple with delicate tooth marks in front of him, and on her round face, her big blue eyes were full of anticipation and apprehension.
"I ......" he smiled brightly and took a small bite on the apple, "Well, it's so sweet, delicious!"
"Didn't Xiao Nizi be afraid of this brother at first, why did she suddenly get so close again?"
Nanali tilted her head and thought for a moment, then replied earnestly, "When I first saw my brother, I was indeed frightened by his one-eyed appearance, but after close encounter, I noticed that he smelled very good, and - he is a good man!"
"A good man?" said Rodin, with black lines on his forehead, "why do you always like to say that about me, can't you say it another way?"
"Giggle...... You're right, little Nizi!" said Eileen with a smile, "Rodin, Nanali is one of the five dolls who will be going to school in St. Gallen this year. I remember that you and our Wind Brigade are going to go over too, right?
"Of course!," replied Rodin, patting his chest, "but are you sure the little one is thirteen years old?"
Nanali has a round apple face, a petite figure of only about one meter four, and no matter how you look at it, she is an eight or nine-year-old child. Girls in this world usually develop quite well at the age of thirteen, but her appearance is too young, with thin arms and legs, and a flat chest, as if she is not developed.
"Alas, the main reason is that the orphanage lives in poverty on weekdays, and he is often hungry and full, and this child always likes to give food to younger brothers and sisters, so his own growth and development have been seriously affected. ”
Nanali lowered her head a little shyly when she heard this, and Rodin said with a heavy heart, "If you continue to be so malnourished, you are afraid of death, which will have some irreversible negative effects on your physiology. He thought of the white and chubby Kikige again, and gently hugged the little Lori in his arms, "This child has arrived at St. Gallen's food, clothing, housing and transportation, I have taken care of it!"
Erin showed a fox smile that had succeeded in her treacherous scheme, "Then do you think the remaining four children can do it?!"
"Uh...... Do you really think of me as an ATM?" "Huh? What is that?"
On the other side, the children quietly enjoyed delicious bread, and Amanda and a few people continued to visit the entire old castle. The long corridors are lonely and deep, but there are no expensive oil paintings or antique ornaments. One room after another has been clearly renovated, and the bunk beds have become cramped and simple bedrooms for children. Even Amanda's own room was too plain, except for the old bed, dresser, mirror, a few sets of old-fashioned clothes, and nothing to show her identity, such as porcelain, beast specimens, etc.
The most precious item in the castle is a bookshelf of various documents, which are treasures for children. On every page of the pale yellow paper, you can clearly see the traces of time and the records that the children keep flipping through. This kind of diligence on the earth can only be possessed by elementary school students in mountain villages who are thirsty for knowledge and almost turn a textbook upside down.
"What do the kids do on a day-to-day basis?" asked Uma curiously. "Every morning and evening, I teach the kids the basics. Monday Tuesday is a literacy class, Wednesday and Thursday are numeracy classes, Friday and Saturday are national humanities and history classes, and Sundays are free time for children. They can play in the courtyard all day long. “
Claire showed admiration, "Sister Amanda, it's tiring for you to teach so many children alone! If you want to die and be me, it is estimated that you won't be able to last for a month and give up!" Amanda flashed the light of memories in her eyes, "To be honest, I didn't think I would be able to persevere at first, but every time I see the children's eyes full of curiosity, and the joy from the bottom of my heart after learning something, I feel full of strength, and all the hardships are worth it!"
At this moment, everyone carried the persistence and persistence of the seeker from Amanda's face, which was an unshakable faith.
"My sister treats them as her own children, and hopes that in the future they will be able to become talents, and come back to help her younger siblings, and then they will be satisfied!" said Eileen Wilde with admiration.
"Ten years of trees, 100 years of people. Human beings are the most inscrutable creatures! What will happen to these simple and kind children after they enter a complex society, and who can guarantee that they will be able to repay their kindness and get out of the mud without being stained?"
Rodin hid these words in his heart, unwilling to say them to discourage her enthusiasm, "Such a beautiful thing should exist." “
"Is there a public orphanage in Sintra?" "No, otherwise my sister wouldn't have taken in so many children here." Sintra has a business vibe, and top managers are essentially businessmen, and they are reluctant to pay for such a thankless task. My sister has never had any funding from them. “
Rodin asked, "Have you applied for sponsorship from other chambers of commerce?"
"Of course......," said Erin angrily, "of course," said Erin angrily, "and even some organizations are willing to contribute, but unfortunately they are all guys with other intentions and bad intentions, either plotting against my sister's posture or proposing some conditions that have a negative impact on the children, and my sister has all refused!"
Lie Nong secretly looked at the blonde royal sister in a simple long skirt behind him, and somehow, his heart suddenly fluttered inexplicably, his face flushed imperceptibly, and he cast inquiring glances at several people,
"Everybody...... Do you think we should help Amanda Orphanage?"
"Wait a minute!" said Irene suddenly blushing and said loudly, "If you don't pursue the 300,000 yuan of funds, it is already the greatest support for the orphanage, and no matter how thick-skinned we are, we can't accept your assistance." “
She bowed sincerely to a few people, "Thank you for your kindness, but I know that you are short of funds now, and you still need a lot of money to get to St. Gallen, so don't spend it on us anymore!"
Amanda cast a puzzled look at her, and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, the 300,000 yuan debt was funded by these friends!?"
Erin bowed her head in embarrassment, "Yes, I actually stole ......" "Haha, Sister Erin is right, we have been born and died several times, and that money is nothing!?
"Ouch, what are you doing here?!" Lienon, who had been paying attention to Amanda, quickly knelt down and held her up,
"Our sponsorship of children is completely voluntary and does not require any gratitude, on the contrary, please allow us to continue to sponsor them in the future!"
Rodin watched the couple sing and harmonize, a smile on his lips, and Uma also found the clue.
In the end, Amanda still accepted the fist of the Wind Brigade, and 20,000 Marelli supported it, which was still the reward she had just received from the Beggar King.
"What's next, that snake won't let you go easily!" Lienon frowned.
Amanda smiled and said, "I'll take care of the rest of the issues, just go to St. Gallen City with peace of mind." This time, there are five children in the orphanage who are going to go to school, and I will introduce you to you in a moment, and I hope you can take care of them more!"
"Wrap it up on us, but what about the rest of the children?
Uma raised a slender willow eyebrow, "Why don't we go and call Brother Chloe and take the initiative to negotiate with the Beggargar-King!"
"No matter how high the interest of 200,000 Marelli's debt is, it is too much to accumulate to 600,000 in a year!
"The orphanage is weak, but the beggar king is hand-eyed, the contrast between strength and weakness is huge, and the security team is just an ornament in the face of him!" "God doesn't help people, people help themselves, this time we must let that hateful guy have a long memory!"
Without waiting for Amanda to raise any objections, everyone had already made up their minds, and this time Irene was fully supportive, and they would take the initiative to ask the beggar king for an explanation!"Alas, why should you bother?
At noon, after having a lunch of clear soup and little water with the children, they did not leave in a hurry, and new faces finally came to the castle, and the children played with everyone for an afternoon.
There is a lack of entertainment in this world, especially at a young age, and the children in the orphanage are happy to play hide-and-seek and jump a few simple games on weekdays. Rodin expanded them in a big way, bringing the products of the earth.
Such as "the eagle catches the chicken", "drumming and passing the flowers", "throwing the handkerchief", "guessing the number", "chasing the duck", "throwing sandbags", a variety of more than ten new games, suddenly made a group of loli is too overjoyed, one by one to play crazy, the little face is red, wearing flowers and butterflies in the courtyard back and forth, the orphanage has become a paradise full of laughter and laughter all afternoon. And Rodin, with his outstanding contributions, has become the second most popular person after Amanda.
He couldn't remember how many koalas and little milk cats were hanging on his body, and he was so excited that he even summoned the Seal Rose, and summoned Light Feather to take a few fat children up to the sky for a ride, and everyone was dumbfounded by this big move.
At this moment, Amanda and Eileen discovered that this one-eyed young man was actually a hidden powerful person. And Uma, Linuo, Claire looked at him with a complicated gaze, once upon a time, Rodin was still an ordinary person who had not yet awakened, but now he has entered the same stage before them, and he has treasures such as the Sealed Rose, and the progress is really beyond their imagination.
Among all the children, Nanali is the most clingy, looking delicate and timid little Lori is unusual, after going to heaven, there is no fear, but excitedly hoarse scream, the little face is like a ruddy apple, people can't help but want to take a bite.
Erin said jealously, "I've been with the kids for a year and I'm not as popular as you, a guy who has just arrived for a day, it's so sad!"
Amanda asked distressedly, "There are so many weird little games that I can't help but participate in, how can you tell the children to pay attention, if they don't study seriously about the game all day long, you will be fully responsible!"
However, the slight curvature of the corners of her mouth revealed her cheerful mood.
In the end, Lori Zhengtai was sweating profusely, soaking through their clothes, and returned happy, Amanda introduced the 5 children who were going to St. Gallen to study.
"Nanali, thirteen years old, is about to enroll in the Deep Winter Fountain (A Fiery Will Can Melt Ice Fountain) Academy as an apprentice of the Force. “
"Kenthal, thirteen years old, will be enrolled in the Fountain of Winter. “
"Nehinwali, at the age of twelve, is enrolled in the Fountain of Winter. “
"Evans, fourteen years old, enrolled in the Fountain of Winter. Finally, she took a deep breath and pointed to the last girl with thick green hair and delicate features like a doll, "Chanel, the only one of all the children who has the qualification of a wizard, will be assessed by the Aurora Maze and become a wizard apprentice." “
The Fountain of Winter, founded by the Tricolor Alliance, admits students from the southern region of the Sith Empire once every two years, requiring them to be able-bodied and under the age of twenty-four. The Academy's fees are somewhat similar to Earth's Normal College, where you can pay a large tuition fee to join the Academy, but you can also choose to enter for free, and you only need to sign an agreement - after four years of systematic training to become the twenty percent power, you must join the Skyrim Inquisition for three years to serve in the Empire's borders against the dry tide.
Amanda doesn't want her children to take this risk, so she will pay a huge tuition fee of 80,000 Marelli for the four children who join the Fountain of Winter, and she should be considered a ZG mother on Earth.
Aurora Maze, a southern wizard training institution affiliated to the Yongge Council, holds an apprentice recruitment ceremony every five years, and basically all the children who are discovered in the southern region will go to apply. They start as a small wizard apprentice, and if they perform well or have excellent qualifications, they will have the opportunity to study at the council headquarters.
However, how rare it is that wizards can only find one out of hundreds of thousands of people, and it is already a blessing to be able to find such a person in Amanda's orphanage, and everyone has high hopes for her.
"The enrollment process of the two academies will start in half a month, and the next five of them, please leave it to you!"
