Another thing that I don't know if it is a hidden worry is that the airship of the Haidel Empire entered Estali's residential area a few days ago, and the ravages of the Blue Dragon.

Although the location of his mansion is close to the periphery of the Holy City, it is not a three-way area. After the special airship was destroyed by the blue dragon, the wreckage fell nearby, and those places were not inhabited, and even caused damage, including damage to human life.

But to this day, no one has come to the door because of these two things? It's so quiet that it makes your scalp tingle.

The calm before the storm speaks of such an atmosphere.

Lin only hopes that this is just his own unfounded worries and thinking too much.

At this time, Hardy the gray cat jumped on the table and sat down in front of Lin. While wagging his tail slightly, he said, "Sir, it seems that this matter has caused you a lot of distress. ”

"I can see it." Lin replied casually.

"It's been a while since the guests left, and you're still sitting here thinking about things. This is a rare situation. The biggest possibility is that this matter is embarrassing you, so you need time to think about it. Hardy said.

Lin did not refute the gray cat's claims. Instead, he said, "That's true." It's a pity that there is too little information to judge what they are planning. ”

"The Haider Empire? The Land of Silk? …… Or the Holy City? Hardy asked tentatively.

"Hah, you've noticed, too."

The gray cat Hardy licked his paws, combed his fur comfortably, and said: "A few days ago, the wreckage of the airship fell, smashing and injuring a lot of things and people. Although it is customary to have mansions and courtyards in the Holy City as private spheres, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere with them, there is some truth in the fact that the airship and the dragon came to your house to show off their might, but no one paid any attention. But they hurt people and smashed other people's territory, but they remained silent. This thing, how to think, how to be weird. ”

"That's true." Lin nodded and said, "It's a pity that I don't know what they're thinking." After all, the remarks on the forum have the meaning of chasing after the wind. In individual matters, the pertinence can be insufficient. ”

"So, do you want me to go out and explore?" Hardy leaned forward and asked tentatively.

For these magical cats from the southern border of the Gwana Empire, Lin has always only kept them, and they do some household things. In someone's mind, kittens are playful, and old cats are troublesome, so they are never asked to do anything. Now Hardy mainly put forward suggestions to help, which really surprised Lin.

Perhaps the surprised expression was too obvious, and the seasoned Hardy could see it. He said, "I'm just going to help Bu Feng, Lily, and Nini find something to do, and work them out by the way." Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll become house cats. Also, you can try to let those boys out. They're from the streets, and they're no worse at listening to the grapevine than you can do at gathering news from forums. After all, there are some things that people talk about, but they don't necessarily stay on the forum. ”

"Will those boys go? I thought they came to me thinking about how to get out of the streets. Thinking of the situation of the group of children, Lin said uncertainly.

Hardy replied: "There will be people who want to get rid of the past and move towards a new life, but there will also be people who don't care. Even their experiences and connections on the streets are regarded as important assets to them. So talk to those kids, don't force them, there will be people willing to help you find out. As for the conditions, of course, there will be, and you have to negotiate with them yourself. ”

"The First Evolution"

"Conditional is just a trifle. It seems that my position with them is about to change. ”

Although Lin did not limit the conditions and number of children to be contained, the increase in equipment could not keep up with the number of children who were willing to defect. However, Lin did not let people turn away their future children, but some people did not like the environment here, or gave up the opportunity to others and left on their own initiative.

Fortunately, this situation has slowed down recently. Some people stayed, and some people left, so that the current scale of nearly 300 children of all sizes was maintained.

However, Lin didn't care about this part all the time, and just ordered a few of his apprentices to manage them. The main thing is to let the older children take care of the younger ones. Adults are just concerned about not allowing them to bully each other, or find excuses for corporal punishment.

In such an environment, there will be no innocent and beautiful childhood, just having a full meal and teaching them basic knowledge. Of course, we will not help them find families who are willing to raise them, let alone engage in human trafficking.

Someone thinks that he is not running an orphanage, but an educational institution. Treat them with the same attitude towards adults. This group of little hairy people from the streets, even if they can't be called old and cunning, they are definitely not innocent. If you really treat them as children, you are just torturing yourself.

However, the gray cat Hardy's suggestion made Lin feel that some people could take it out and use it first. It's not that they have to learn any knowledge and skills to become craftsmen or something in the future.

Cultivating some thug dark lines, although it is not the original intention, may not be able to use it yourself. But people make the best use of their talents and make the best use of things, and some people are just not suitable to be craftsmen or scholars, and if they are forced to go that way, won't they miss their future?

Besides, you don't need thugs, but you can also use your own industry. It's not like in the past, when one person was fed and the whole family was not hungry. A few apprentices are easy to feed, which is nothing to say, mainly with some more bits and pieces. There's nothing wrong with having someone to help take care of the head and tail, saving yourself from having to do everything.

Thinking of this, Lin smiled shyly and said, "Hardy, let's discuss." ”

The gray cat took a few steps back vigilantly, looked at someone with bad intentions, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"I'll go to the group of children and tell them if they're willing to help, you can take care of them. I know what comes out into words. But the part I don't know, how to manage it, I don't have a charter. Since you want to train those three kittens, take a group of children as cats and take care of them together. How is it? ”

Hardy couldn't help but say, and directly rewarded a disgusted expression. Slanting the cat's eyes, looking at someone.

Stretching out a finger, Lin smiled and said, "A pound of wood and heavenly knotweed." ”

This is a plant that Maosen does not have, and it was found by the Nguyen brothers of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce.

Because the name of the plant is not exactly the same as that of the earth, on the one hand, it is to find tea, and on the other hand, it is also to allow yourself to use the plant according to the knowledge of the earth. So Lin had planned to compile a fascination version of the Grass Compendium for himself, and at the same time let Fen make a DNA sample.

It's a pity that I can't find the same tea. But I found a plant that was enough to make cats crazy, Wood Heaven. Originally, it was not certain that Mu Tianzhi would not work on the demon cat, after all, ordinary domestic cats and demon cats are two creatures of different species at the DNA level.

But one day, when he saw three kittens that had brought disaster to the plant variety library, Lin knew that Mu Tianli's attraction to cats was still there. In order to prevent the three kittens from going crazy, Hardy took the initiative to confiscate Mu Tianli! Paternalistic confiscation, everyone understands.

However, the demon cats did not deliberately put forward Mu Tianzhi's request, and Lin did not continue to purchase goods from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce. This is because Hardy is a bit old-fashioned, and he doesn't get paid if he doesn't do things. In order to stay in this house, the demon cat has three meals to eat, and more or less it has found some unimportant things for himself to help.

Now that he wants to entrust the demon cats to do things, Lin Shunkou said such conditions. After hearing this, Hardy's ears twitched back and forth, obviously moving. Lin was even happier and continued: "One pound a month, until you don't want to do it." Or do you want to take Jin Keyin directly and buy what you need. ”

Jumping a few steps forward, Hardy leaned over and stretched out his paws and said, "No, Mu Tianzhi is fine." Anyway, I'm going to teach those three little ones, and by the way, it's not a problem to take care of those children. ”

Lin smiled and reached out to put his hand on the cat's paw, shook it, and said, "Then the cooperation is happy." ”

Hardy's cat face also showed a professional smile, saying, "Happy cooperation!" ”

By the way, cat grass is also found in cat forests. There are cats specially planted and managed, all magic cats are shared, and they can only be used for a certain period of time in a year. Before the three kittens left the cat forest, they were too young to use cat grass, so they didn't use it. Hardy is older and used to the irritation of cat grass, so he doesn't have that need. Mu Tianli is a new gadget, and it can attract Hardy.

The calm days that followed continued. Whether it is the people of the Haider Empire or the people of the Silk Country, there has been no news from them since the princess of Xindu met with the dynasty for the last time.

Lin guessed that if they came by airship. After the airship was wrecked, it was unlikely that it would be possible to walk back on two legs. The journey between the Gwana Empire and the Haider Empire was not something that the group of people could easily pass.

Not to mention robbers and bandits, natural moats and demonic beasts are rampant along the road, and if a group of people want to go back, they must hire high-strength adventurers or mercenaries as guards. Then there are people who have to carry provisions, and even if there are nobles in the ranks, and there are female rolls, you have to consider things such as chariots and horses.

However, this kind of long-distance employment is risky, after all, it is in an unfamiliar environment, and it is impossible to find out the accurate reputation of the employee. So for them, the best thing to do is probably to wait for the Empire to send a second airship to pick up the journey.

But these are just some people's own thoughts. As an earl of one of the five empires, although he can't form the sequence of great nobles, he can be the captain of the airship, and he also has a certain ability. What tricks such a person can play in the holy city of Estari, Lin Ke can't guarantee it.

Although the Holy City is a city dominated by magicians, it does not have a strong core. This means that as long as you have money, a flexible brain, and know how to drill camps, you can actually do many things.

In the territory of other nobles, if any commoner develops a little achievement, it is guaranteed that nobleman will reach out and pick peaches. Therefore, the fact that someone can have the status they have today is also due to the tolerant atmosphere of the holy city of Estali.

It's just that such an advantage is also an advantage in others. What others can do with such an advantage is not something that Lin can control.
