"Where did you pick it up?" Peiman observed the restrained bear orc in front of him with great interest, and then stepped forward and reached out and touched the neem hairy head, "It should be considered a juvenile?" I've lost a little weight, and my strength isn't even as strong as that of an adult. What about your son? ”

"He's at home." Sheldon said, "This guy is what he got back, from school." ”

"It's really strange, it cost a lot of money, right?" Peyman scratched her head, her complexion was worse than when the two of them had worked together, "The little guy won't help much." ”

"It's my son who is clamoring for it......"

"Well, if it weren't for the fact that I'm too busy here, and there have been a few more nightmare escapes recently, I'd have more or less had a drink with you." Peman covered his mouth and yawned.

"How did the Orc Management Department become like this?" Sheldon cut straight to the point, "When I took him to the contract, the people there weren't very professional. ”

"Professionalism is the hell......" Peiman raised his eyebrows, "The money allocated by the government to the Orc Management Department has been reduced a lot in the past two years, and if it continues like this, it may be difficult to maintain basic operations." ”

"But I don't think there's anything wrong with you here."

"There's gossip that this is Charlie's order," Peman said cautiously, in a low voice, "You also know that there are very few people like him who can make contracts with people, and most of the orcs who come here are similar to the identity of the black household. And most of them have become the labor force of the underground chamber of commerce, although the salary is much less than that of normal humans, but they can also maintain their normal life. ”

"King Charles? Why is he like this? ”

"It may be because he himself has a dislike for this race. Recently, many chambers of commerce that deal with undocumented orcs have been closed one after another, and a large number of orcs have been deported. And the Orc Special Zone can't accommodate so many hungry people...... Like this little one, the one who was chosen was the lucky one of the lucky ones, and the rest ...... Either go back, or be secretly slaughtered and made into magical materials. ”

Orcs are full of treasures, and their spiritual intelligence comes from rune magic, and they will naturally incorporate some of the rune magic in their bodies. Because of this, even orc hair can be used as a catalyst for some specific techniques, which has a great effect on magic conduction. Most of the orc items sold in the Magic Goods Shop have been dealt with blood and wailing. In the eyes of mercenary, orcs do not differ from lambs in any way.

"And now the orc management department has become an ornament, is that what you mean?"

Peman waved his hand: "On the surface, this is obviously not the case, after all, the Orc Management Division, as an agency of the government, still has to assume certain social positions. Obviously, the social duties undertaken by the Orc Management Division are not small, and even large. No one wants to do that kind of work that pays a lot of money, but it's heavy, so the people here change batch after batch. ”

"But fortunately, although their attitude is a little worse, at least they can do things." Sheldon sighed, "I just hope this troublesome king doesn't do anything extreme." ”

"The orc rebellion was so famous." Peman smiled, "It's even involved in the fate of the Brotherhood, this is the national army!" Not even the Security Department could suppress this group of madmen...... However, does the former director of the Orc Management Division have any assessment of the current situation of the Orc Management Division? ”

"What else can I say?" Sheldon smiled wryly, "I just want to be a good father now." ”

"Do you want to come back and be our general affairs management consultant?" Peyman didn't ask Sheldon what he's done in the past two years, "The salary is favorable~"

Sheldon waved his hand: "Forget it, he is now at the age of his body, and it is important to take good care of him." ”

"Don't you have this little guy then? Teach him to cook, do laundry, and all the housework......" Peman coughed, as if realizing that he had been overzealous with his attitude, "Forget it, let you go." Your son is smart, what school did he go to? ”

"Central Academy of Magic."

"Not bad!" Peyman clapped his hands, "I remember that you also graduated from that school back then, it seems that genes determine everything...... In the future, I will also find a graduate of the Imperial Capital Central Academy of Magic, and the children born can also go there to study, and then make a lot of money! ”

Sheldon smiled: "And then you can eat and drink spicy?" ”

"That's not it! We are now starving every day in our division, and the money allocated has a ...... The posture of scraping off that thin layer of oil in our stomachs. Not only our division, but other slightly marginalized institutions have all had their allocations cut. Of course, the Orc Management Division has been cut the most. ”

"Could it be that the government is running a deficit? It's impossible, all walks of life have been thriving in recent years, and there is no decline at all......"

"Don't guess what our king is thinking, at least everything makes sense, that's good."

"That's not what you said before, it's been two years...... Before you, you were inspired to be a strong woman? ”

"I already am, but now I'm a little bit more open." Peyman pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he had to say as if he was in the way, "The Brotherhood has been expanding recently. ”

"I see." Sheldon also realized that it was not too early, and Merlin was still waiting for him at home. Neem looked at him from the sidelines, and it was not good to go on like this. The two quickly left the Orc Management Division and rode back to their lodgings in Lilac Street.

The lights in the room were still on, indicating that Merlin was not sleeping. It's late, but it's not time to go to bed, and what's more, Merlin is still at home looking forward to the return of the bear orc neem. I don't know why, Neem, who was following behind Sheldon, no longer had the panic of the first time, and a faint warmth rose in his heart.

Neem believes that the two men who took him in are not bad people, at least not for him. If Neem's mother could see his current situation, she would probably be relieved. His impression of human beings will not change, but the two people in front of him are kind to him, and he should do his best to repay them in the years he has been a slave.

As a child, Neem's mother told him that if someone came to his aid in times of need, he should do what he could to help them when they were in need. Although he doesn't know anything now, he is willing to learn and show his worth in the family of two. Now that I think about it, I and my mother depend on each other, and the situation between father and son seems to be the same as before......

When Neem returned home, he didn't dare to take his seat without Sheldon's permission. Sheldon was stunned for a moment when he saw him standing by the door, and hurriedly beckoned him in: "I see you're pretty good." But don't be too inhibited, you'll be part of our family after that. As long as you complete the daily chores, we won't do anything to you. Sit casually, sit casually. ”

Merlin also came out of the house, his face full of joy: "Coming back?" Is the certificate done? ”

"It's like the people there," Sheldon shrugged, "but it's done." I also met Aunt Peyman, and said she was going to have dinner with us next time. ”

"......" Neem sat on the side, staring blankly at the natural and pleasant conversation between the two, and two lines of tears naturally flowed from the corners of his eyes. He wiped it hard, but he couldn't wipe away more, more tears from his eyes. It would be nice if my mother was still around. She is the best person in this world for herself.

"Ahh

Before Neem came back to his senses, a pair of small hands belonging to human beings wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for him, and where his eyes were focused, he saw a slightly immature little face rapidly expanding in his eyes. There was no smile on his lips, but he just took the bear orc's hand, and Neem naturally stood up and walked forward with him. Merlin apparently understood the look Sheldon had given him along the way, and dragged him into the house and lay down on the bed with him.

"No matter what you're doing, your task now is to sleep with me. After you gain weight, the pillow should be more comfortable. Merlin grinned and used Neem's hand as a pillow and rested comfortably under his head.

Neem's palms were familiarizing himself with Merlin's hair, and a little boy about his own age was lying peacefully beside him. It was silent, and there was no palpitating breeze from the depths of the jungle, nor the roar of wild beasts in the valley. In this confined space, Neem even felt that for a while, most of the anxiety that had been kept in her heart for survival from childhood to adulthood had been dispelled.

Perhaps the string that was tight in his heart was loosened, and the violent tiredness overwhelmed the bear orc's mind, and after only half an hour, Neem had fallen into an extremely deep sleep.

Merlin, who originally wanted to talk to him about something, was quite speechless, but simplicity also has simple benefits, and the scar forgets the pain, and sometimes it can be understood with a positive background.
