I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Elena's fair face turned slightly red on the street. He looked around awkwardly and found that no one was watching him, so he ran away in shame.

He understood one thing. It seemed that his body could not absorb the pure magic power brought by the magic core like ordinary people.

This made Elena quite depressed. This was further confirmed that the constitution of this body was not simple, but he was not happy at all.

After all, not being able to absorb the magic core meant that he could not become stronger in a short period of time. In this world where he had to fight monsters, this was undoubtedly a huge disadvantage.

This was more of a blow than when Elena learned that his talent was not as good as that of ordinary people.

After all, if one's talent was not as good as others, he could still pay attention to diligence, but now he could not even do it, and he saw his limit directly.

This was a heavy blow to Elena, who was more eager for power than most people.

Fortunately, Elena was optimistic. Today was a day to make a lot of money, and he should not be frowning here.

Seeing the sky gradually darken, Elena took a long detour, intending to buy something before going back.

On the other side, in the orphanage.

Weiwei sat on a bench in the church hall, looking at the broken goddess statue in front of her that had long been broken and unable to be cleaned, but she was praying silently with her hands folded.

She did not inherit the so-called faith from the old nun. The reason she did this now was just to bless her beloved brother who was not related by blood.

Last night, she handed Elena her life savings without hesitation, although she did not ask the other party what she wanted to do with the money.

But Weiwei instinctively felt that this should not be a safe thing.

Although she didn't know whether this would work, as long as it could increase the possibility of Elena's safe return, she wouldn't mind doing one more thing like this.

She naturally wanted to stop Elena, but recalling that day when Elena was heartbroken because of the departure of Sister Elena, she ran up the mountain alone when she came to her senses.

Weiwei was very afraid that such a thing would happen again.

As an orphan in an orphanage, her family only included the children in the orphanage, except for the old nun who had passed away.

Among them, Elena and Irena were her closest people. Now that Irena was taken in by the academy and had a promising future and left the orphanage, she had to take responsibility to protect Irena, which was what they had agreed on.

"Is Irena back?"

Weiwei was still praying, but she suddenly raised her head and noticed Irena's footsteps coming from outside the church.

And judging from the frequency of her footsteps, Irena seemed to be in a good mood today, probably because she had encountered something good outside.

If Irena knew about Weiwei's reaction, I'm afraid the latter would sweat uncontrollably.

She was just walking normally, but the other party could judge her emotions by the frequency of her walking. No matter how you think about it, it's a bit scary, right?

Squeak~

"Sister Weiwei, I'm back. Look what I brought back for you!"

As expected, Elena quickly opened the door, holding a basket of things in her hand, with a bright smile on her face.

"Welcome back!"

Seeing Elena come back, Weiwei was relieved. In order not to worry her, she immediately put on her usual smile.

She trotted towards Elena and bent down to wipe the dust off her face.

"Elena, where have you been? Why did you make yourself so dirty?"

"Sister Weiwei, didn't I say last night? I went to make money. Look at what I brought back."

Elena said with a smile, handing the basket in her hand to Sister Weiwei.

It contained more than a pound of eggs and various styles of civilian cakes, which was enough for the entire orphanage to enjoy together.

"Elena, I didn't give you that money to waste it. You have enough to eat normally, so there's no need to waste money just to satisfy your cravings."

Looking at these delicious pastries, Weiwei didn't feel very happy. On the contrary, she was very dissatisfied with Elena's waste of money.

"Sister Weiwei, I didn't waste money. I bought these with the money I earned today, and it only cost five or six silvers."

"Hiss~ five or six silvers..."

Sister Weiwei, who has always been very frugal, couldn't help but take a breath when she heard the price of five or six silvers.

However, looking at the various foods in the basket, Weiwei, who had never eaten much good food, couldn't help but be greedy.

Looking at Elena's expectant eyes, she originally wanted toHe wanted to teach the other party what it meant to save money, but for a moment he was a little soft-hearted.

"I'll go call the other brothers and sisters, and we'll eat together."

Finally, Weiwei could only sigh helplessly. These things had already been bought. It was impossible for Elena to go and return them, right?

He could only smile bitterly and walk towards the room behind the church, where the children rested. Now everyone should stay in their own rooms.

Elena smiled and did not stop him. Although he bought these things for Weiwei, he had expected Weiwei to share them with others when he bought them.

He had no opinion on this kind of thing. The children in the orphanage have always helped each other and worked together. If there is any benefit, they will naturally share it with everyone.

Although these children who are younger than Elena can actually only be regarded as a simple burden.

But Elena, who was also a burden, couldn't say anything to them.

Soon Weiwei came out with a group of children, seven boys and five girls, the oldest of whom was only thirteen years old, and the youngest was even only five years old.

Looking at the various cakes in the basket, the children all showed quite excited expressions.

Children have always been like this, their thinking is much more innocent and pure than that of adults, and they feel very happy as long as there is something delicious.

"These are all bought by your brother Elena, do you know what to do?"

Rubbing the two children who couldn't help drooling around her, Weiwei showed a loving smile, she has long been accustomed to getting along with these children.

"Thank you, brother Elena!"

The thanks were conveyed to Elena without any scheming, and this feeling was unexpectedly good.

"Let's start, but don't eat too much, eating sweets at night is not good for teeth."

Elena waved his hand, indicating that the children don't have to be polite.

Looking at the children who had already started to stuff cakes into their mouths with shining eyes, Elena couldn't help but sigh.

When he was a mercenary in his previous life, he satisfied his food and clothing in the later period, and he also adopted a group of war orphans and raised them to adulthood.

Most of them joined the mercenary group founded by Elena, and they had a close relationship with him.

He didn't know what happened to them after his death. Looking at the happy smiles of the children now, he couldn't help but recall the little kids who followed him back then.
