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

After breakfast, enjoying Sister Weiwei's mouth-wiping service, Elena packed up and prepared to go out.

He was going to be an apprentice at a nearby blacksmith. This was the master that Sister Weiwei and Sister Elena had taken great pains to find for him. If he wanted to survive in this world with low survival ability, it would be much better to have a skill on hand, even if there was no "internship salary" at all when learning from a master.

After walking out of the church and opening the door, a slender figure stood in front of Elena very well.

It was a woman who looked a little skinny, with dodging eyes and not upright. Based on Elena's experience of judging people for so many years, the other party definitely did not look like a good person.

"Hey, isn't this little brother Elena? Where are you going?"

The movement of Elena coming out startled the other party, but he quickly changed his expression and showed a smiling expression.

While talking, he stretched out his hand to rub Elena's head, but was decisively avoided by Elena.

Elena remembered this woman, she was the wife of a businessman, and although she was called a wife, she was actually just a slave with a relatively good status.

Although she had a status, her husband had never looked at her straight in the eye. After all, she was living under his roof, and without power and influence, she could only be a vassal of the other party.

Elena also had a clue why others appeared here, most likely they wanted to talk to Sister Weiwei about purchasing this broken church.

In the early years, this church owed the businessman a lot of money. After all, the cost of raising so many orphans must be huge.

The old nun never paid off the debt until her death, and the debt fell into Sister Weiwei's hands and almost crushed her, almost forcing the young girl to sell herself to pay off the debt.

Fortunately, Sister Elena took action in the end and sold the treasures left behind in exchange for money, and then the debt was paid off.

Elena could not forget the expression of the businessman at the time, surprised, puzzled, and full of endless greed. His purpose was definitely not just as simple as debt collection.

As a man, he knew very well what the businessman wanted. He was attracted by the beauty of Elena and Sister Weiwei and wanted to turn them into slaves.

Now that the debt has been paid off, the businessman is still pestering them, using the excuse of acquiring the church to get closer to this side.

He also said that he would build a better orphanage for Elena and others to live in, but he was just talking about it from beginning to end, and he had no actual sincerity at all.

If the church land is really sold to this bastard, who knows what tricks he will do in it. By then, let alone giving the orphans a new home, maybe all of them will be sold by this cunning businessman.

Sister Weiwei also knew this very well, so she never agreed to the other party. Seeing that he couldn't convince Sister Weiwei, the businessman sent his wife over.

He hoped that as a woman, he could give the other party some sense of security, at least the atmosphere would not be as awkward as before.

But even so, Sister Weiwei's attitude is still very firm. This is not only the home for these orphans to survive, but also their memories.

Even if it is to repay the old nun's kindness, Sister Weiwei will never sell this dilapidated church.

He ignored the embarrassed woman. He knew very well that Sister Weiwei would handle these things. His first task now was to learn the craft from the blacksmith, and he had no time to care about this woman.

"Tsk, what is a little brat proud of?"

Looking at Elena's extremely indifferent attitude, the woman couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, but soon heard Sister Weiwei's voice inside the church, and greeted her enthusiastically.

The blacksmith's residence is not far away. It can be reached by walking one or two kilometers. As people living in the suburbs of the city, the orphanage and the blacksmith shop can even be regarded as half neighbors.

He walked into the back door of the blacksmith shop with ease, where the blacksmith's apprentices were practicing their skills.

As soon as he walked into the interior, Elena was covered by a wave of heat. The temperature inside the blacksmith shop was too hot. The room temperature was definitely 10 to 20 degrees higher than outside.

Ordinary people would be dehydrated and suffer from heatstroke in a short time, not to mention swinging hammers and working hard to forge iron here.

In fact, Elena was not good before. I vaguely remember that I watched these apprentices forging iron curiously a few times, but I started to feel drowsy and blurred consciousness after standing for a while.

After all, his body was too weak. Elena said he was an apprentice, but in fact he was just here to register. With his small body before, he might not even be able to hold the hammer.

But now Elena is very different from before. After a few days of exercise, his physical condition has improved a little. Although there is still a lot of gap compared with normal people, at least he will not fall down at the touch.

The most critical thing is Elena's recovery ability.He felt that his body was full of infinite vitality. No matter how tired or sleepy he was, as long as he had a good rest, he would be back to the peak in no time.

Staying here for a short time would definitely not affect Elena now. He was still relaxed and looked at the busy figures of the apprentices with curiosity.

Most of the apprentices were topless, holding hammers and hammering. It was said to be blacksmithing practice, but in fact most of the apprentices still stayed at physical training.

After all, only those with enough strength and physical endurance can persist under high-intensity blacksmithing. Only when endurance and strength reach the standard can there be a guarantee for forging props.

Elena was a little fascinated by it, and he didn't pay attention to the situation in front of him while walking.

"Uh!"

When Elena came to his senses, he bumped into someone without paying attention.

Fortunately, the other person's body was softer than expected, and Elena didn't feel any pain when he bumped into him.

He subconsciously raised his head and found that the girl standing in front of him was a girl with flaming red hair, with a delicate face but firm eyes.

In such a hot environment, the other party was dressed very coolly. Looking at the other party's white abdomen, Elena felt that the part she had just hit was probably this part.

Holding a big iron hammer on her shoulder, the red-haired girl looked down at Elena, frowning and looking sharp, as if she wanted to pierce Elena.

Elena still remembered this girl. Her name was Melissa. She was the daughter of Elena's master, the blacksmith.

She had been learning forging from her father since she was a child. She was well-nourished and tall. Years of physical work did not make her grow ugly muscles. On the contrary, her curves were very beautiful and exuded a healthy atmosphere.

But don't underestimate her just because she is a woman. Whether it is forging skills or strength, ordinary apprentices are not her opponents at all.

Seeing the other party easily holding the heavy iron hammer in her hand is enough to prove how much strength this slender and lovely person has.
