Chapter 184: Orphans
Early the next morning, when Rodin was out of the house, he happened to meet Chinkov, who had been wandering all night, and was immediately surprised. I hadn't seen the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info for only a day, and Chinkov's originally sturdy body shrunk as if he had shrunk, with thick dark circles on his eyelids, and a listless and tired look, but there was a dull smile on the corner of his mouth.
In the face of Rodin's questioning, he fooled the past, time was pressing, and the former didn't ask more, and rushed over to meet a few people from the Fengse Brigade. Erin takes out her hooded cloak and gets a makeover. With a wide-brimmed hat, a blue jacket, and thin three-point pants, her thighs are firm and slender, and her body is toned and full, and she is more like a force than a wizard.
The group walked to the Amanda Orphanage in the north of Sintra, where they bought ten large bags of gifts at the bakery and fruit store along the way. At the mention of that group of cute and well-behaved children, Eileen's face was full of energy, her eyebrows fluttered, and there were endless words, and the two women Uma and Claire also seemed to be interested.
Rodin thought of Kikige's fleshy little Lori, who hadn't seen her for more than half a month, and didn't know how she was doing.
Gradually, a medium-sized mansion came into view, the outermost layer was a ring of tall and sturdy granite walls covered with pale green vines, and a small courtyard was vacated in the middle, and the castle was the main body in the innermost part, and the artistic windows and rounded spires could be clearly seen on it.
The heavy brown door was inlaid with a small door, and at this moment a man in ragged clothes knocked on the door vigorously, shouting at the inside.
Seeing this, Eileen's face changed, and she hurried over in great strides, and everyone followed closely behind, rushing to those people with great momentum. "It's you guys again, I've warned you many times, don't come to harass the orphanage again, the money will be given to you soon, why are you stubborn!?" Erin sneered, but someone on the other side smiled contemptuously, "It's you who are stubborn! After waiting for so long, Amanda Orphanage only paid back an interest, and we can only accept the orphanage according to the contract!"
"Phew!" Erin asked, "At the beginning, we only borrowed 200,000 Marelli, but now it's only been a year, and it's not enough to repay 300,000!?"
"Hey...... The contract is clearly written in black and white, the principal plus interest for one year is 600,000, if it is not fully repaid when it expires, then this orphanage will be deducted to our boss!"
"Tsk...... The principal has tripled in just one year, and that's not how usury is counted, right?" Rodin smiled harmlessly at people and animals, but unabashedly released a killing intent towards the other party, and suddenly a thick and viscous bloody aura enveloped several minions, they were silent, their faces changed greatly, and the surrounding environment seemed to suddenly change from the weather when the grass grew and the warbler flew to the cold winter wax moon, and the body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Look at you dressed up and looking ruffian, aren't you the beggar king Henry II's subordinates?"
"This ...... This uncle, you ...... You and Amanda Orphanage are not related, why ...... Why stand up for them? The beggar king ...... The boss's tiger whiskers aren't that easy to handle!"
The man stammered with flattery and a hint of warning.
"Who said it has nothing to do with us? The Amanda orphanage matter is our business, why don't you hurry up and get out of here, you have to teach us a good lesson?!"
The three members of the Wind Brigade and Lie Nong nodded approvingly, casting a look of hatred for the enemy.
"If you want an orphanage, let you beggar boss come by yourself, or we will naturally come to visit him!"
Rodin restrained his terrifying murderous aura, and the minions suddenly fled with their heads in their hands as if they had been amnestied, and they didn't forget to leave behind the cruel words when they walked away, "You guys who don't know what to do are just wait, when the time comes, Lord Beggar King will send a bloody invitation to see if you dare to be so rampant!" "Thank you so much this time!" Erin suddenly walked in front of everyone and bowed solemnly, and said to Rodin sincerely, "I was wrong last time, you are a good person!"
"Uh...... Since you've joined the Wind Brigade, we're friends, and maybe we'll be born and die together in the future, isn't it natural to be on your side?!"
Lienong asked curiously, "Did you steal our goods and sell them to pay off the old debts of the beggar king?"
Erin nodded, "Because we're so short of money." Amanda's sister's orphanage belongs to a private organization, and the Sintra government is unwilling to fund the assistance, so she can only borrow money from the local snake, after all, there are more than 100 children to feed, and the daily consumption of food alone is a huge amount of money, and there are several school-age children who will go to St. Gallen this year, and the tuition fee is also a large amount. ”
"But we didn't expect the Beggargar's King to be so dark!"
"Maybe it's because you two women are so aggressive that you are bullies!" said Uma angrily.
Rodin put forward another opinion, "The beggar king, what he is trying to do is not money, but the orphanage and the children." Children are the most brainwashed, maybe he wants to convert all the more than 100 children into loyal subordinates!
"Damn! How can children be so innocent and pure, how can they become annoying beggars and pickpockets?!"
...... As he spoke, the closed door suddenly opened, revealing a small apple face.
"Sister Eileen, I knew it was you when I heard the voice!" The petite girl let out a sweet cheer, and quickly threw herself into the other party's arms, she was wearing an extremely thin yellowed cloth full of pudding, her figure was weak and seemed to be malnourished, and the blue eyes on her pale little face were strangely large, which accentuated her thinness more and more, and the corners of her eyes were red at the moment, as if she had just cried.
Erin swept away the previous anger and caressed the girl's thin back with a loving face, "Nanali, my sister has helped everyone drive away the bad guys, see what my sister has brought?
"Giggles, Sister Erin is the best!" she said as she swept her eyes to the people around her, and her slender fingers tapped her round chin, "Who are these brothers and sisters?"
Without waiting for Erin to speak, Claire couldn't suppress the motherhood in her heart, and leaned over to caress the girl's brilliant blonde hair with a look of pity, "What a cute and well-behaved little guy, my brothers and sisters are here to see you!"
As she spoke, she shook her hand, "Look, we've brought a lot of things you like to eat." “
"Wow...... the little guy's eyes widened brightly, and his small mouth grew into an O-shape, "Great, there are so many brothers and sisters who can play with us today!" Hearing this, several people couldn't help but have some red corners of their eyes, especially the two girls.
Nanali's slender size contrasted with Rodin's memories of Kikig's fleshy cat-like body, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch the little girl, but he was nimble enough to dodge it.
"This ...... Haha......" Rodin smiled awkwardly, it seemed that he had killed a lot of people recently, and he had a one-eyed appearance, which made the little girl a little scared.
"Did she see my hidden attributes?" he asked himself.
"Nanali, this brother is a good person, don't be afraid of him, otherwise he will be sad!"
Erin glanced at Rodin amusefully, and said in a childish voice with a pinching of her throat.
"Oh......" The little girl stared at him with big eyes without blinking, like a cute deer, and after a long time, she stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, "Brother, you are actually so good-looking!"
Rodin's heart was warm and soft, as if he had been washed by a hot spring, and he suddenly picked up the little girl and let her sit on his neck, and his two white and tender little legs swayed one by one, making a lark-like laugh.
When you enter the gate, you will be greeted by a spacious garden covered with green grass, surrounded by a circle of trees that bear green and yellow fruits, and clusters of purple and red flowers, full of the natural atmosphere of spring.
On the weather-baptized stairs in the center of the line of sight, a royal sister with long white and gold shawl hair, skin like clotted fat, and a gentle smile came over, followed by a group of young people as young as three or four years old, as old as twelve or thirteen years old, young boys and girls, this group of children saw these strangers seem hesitant, curious and a little restrained to squeeze their little hands.
Eileen Wilde exclaimed, "This beautiful lady is Amanda Green, the director of the orphanage. "Sister Erin, introduce me to these friends. “
At that moment, everyone entered this ancient castle and had a friendly exchange.
The interior of the castle is simply decorated and looks a little too empty, and after learning about the specific situation, they can't help but admire this legendary woman who has adopted hundreds of orphans alone.
Amanda Green, born in a small city in the southwestern province of Ryerna in the Sith Empire, was the eldest daughter of a small nobleman and had a rich family. Unfortunately, she was unwilling to comply with her parents' arrangement, and fled her hometown five years ago with all her wealth all the way to the east, encountering robbers along the way, narrowly escaping death but losing most of her finances, and finally tossing and turning to Sintra.
In this mixed port city, she fell in love with the aristocratic Casio at first sight and quickly got married, but Casio, who was born frail and sickly, died a year after marriage, leaving Amanda with a fortune and this luxurious mansion.
The husband and wife are usually benevolent people, because they have no children, and like to take the orphans of Sintra for adoption. After her husband died, Amanda pinned all her feelings on the orphans, and the number of adopted orphans increased from a few to hundreds today, and she simply transformed the mansion into an orphanage. However, to take care of the large number of orphans, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, the daily expenses were a huge amount, and the daily expenses were a huge amount, but in three years all the savings were exhausted, and he also borrowed a huge amount of money from the beggar king in a hurry. If it weren't for the fact that Eileen had donated some money every once in a while, the orphanage would have been unable to sustain itself.
