"What do you think of the room? How was it when you stayed with them?" Li Shanren asked, holding Alice's little hand.

"I...I want to stay with you more." Alice pursed her lips and said.

It's not that she was wronged among that group of children.

The psychological trauma of those children who had just escaped from poverty had not yet healed, so it was impossible for them to start ostracizing and antagonizing each other. Nor did they dare to treat Alice, who was obviously favored by Li Shanren, in this way.

Alice simply wanted to be with Li Shanren, so that she could feel at ease and not have to worry about being suddenly left behind without knowing it that day.

"That's it... then you can stay with me." Li Shanren raised his hand to smooth out Alice's messy hair.

Next, the first one and the second one stayed at the railing of the walkway, talking slowly, sentence by sentence.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was late at night, and the magic street lamp in the distance gradually dimmed after consuming the magic power of light absorbed during the day.

Alice suddenly yawned deeply, her eyes were a little blurry, and she looked sleepy.

Li Shanren took her back to his room and asked her to lie down on the bed to sleep. He returned to the corridor and continued to lean against the railing, waiting silently.

Ten minutes passed, and crisp but obviously tired footsteps appeared downstairs.

A few seconds later, Tifa, dressed smartly, walked up from the stairs. Perhaps because she worked in a tavern, she smelled slightly of alcohol.

However, her eyes were clear and her cheeks were of normal color. She was just a little sleepy and she probably had not drank.

"Hey, Lithen, why are you standing here?"

Seeing Li Shanren standing by the aisle with a sad face, Tifa walked to him, tilted her head slightly, blinked her red eyes, and looked at him quietly.

"Are you worried?"

Li Shanren nodded slightly, then thought about it and said, "Evor came to see you tonight, and he asked me to tell you something."

"Huh? What is it?"

"He said that tonight a steward from Alman Castle came to the Extraordinary Guild and issued a commission to all Extraordinaries, hoping to gather five teams of Extraordinaries to go to the castle to serve as temporary guards in half a month for an undetermined period of time. , but the reward is calculated based on time.”

"Every day of guarding, each team can obtain different amounts of silver rosos according to the number and strength of the team. At least each person can obtain five silver rosos every day. If he has made meritorious service while serving as a guard, he will also be given More."

Li Shanren introduced it as simply as possible.

Eivor does not live in the Iris Hotel, so he came here tonight to find Tifa. Originally, he planned to tell Mrs. Marley about this matter and ask her to convey it to Tifa, but now Li Shanren is here, Naturally, I gave priority to Li Shanren.

Moreover, Li Shanren himself also had something to talk to Tifa about.

"Oh, I heard someone else talk about this when I was in the tavern tonight." Tifa also leaned against the railing.

"Evor asked me to ask you, do you want to try to take on this commission?"

"Of course I have to take it. Although there are only five silver rosos per day, being a temporary guard is basically not a dangerous job, and even the Viscount has to recruit temporary guards, which shows that they have lacked manpower to guard the castle for a long time.

This commission will last longer and the reward will be more, and in the end, they will usually give more rusos as reward.

The most important thing is that we who serve as temporary guards will live in the castle, and their food and accommodation will be borne by them! "

Tifa clenched her fists in front of her and said a little excitedly.

Li Shanren felt that the reason why she had such a reaction may be that taking care of food and housing accounted for a relatively large proportion.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "What about your job at the tavern at night?"

Although he didn't know why Tifa, as a transcendent, still had to work in the tavern every day, it was obvious that the income from this job could not be ignored for her.

"Well... I can only ask for leave from the tavern owner. It doesn't matter. I'm not the only bartender in the tavern. It's more important to delegate."

"By the way, will Licen come with us?" Tifa suddenly turned her head and asked, her wine-red eyes flickering into Li Shanren's black eyes.

"Probably... yes." Looking at the deep night, Li Shanren said uncertainly.

"Um......"

Tifa leaned her head out of the railing slightly and looked at Li Shanren sideways, as if intending to see all the expressions on his face clearly.

"Why...why are you looking at me like this?" Li Shanren turned his head inexplicably.

"You really have something on your mind." Tifa said. She retracted her gaze and looked into the distance. "You waited here specifically not just to talk about the commission."

"Yes." Li Shanren did not deny this. "There are indeed some things that I need to consult with you. Eivor said that you will know more."

Before Eivor left, he told Li Shanren that Tifa had actually investigated the fact that Norton Orphanage was the stronghold of the Order of Sloth, and then told them about it. For some reason, Tifa did know more about the Order of Sloth. many.

Things I know...

When Tifa heard this, her burgundy eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something.

Li Shanren hesitated for a moment, turned around in front of Tifa, exposed his back, stretched his right hand to the back collar, and gently pulled it down.

On the back below the neck, a circular mark similar to a tattoo appeared. It depicts a sleeping man holding a rope in his hand. At the end of the rope is a slave wearing a collar.

In the room before, when Li Shanren took off his cloak and changed into regular clothes, Eivor discovered the slave mark on Li Shanren's back and informed him of this.

Only then did Li Shanren realize that it was not just those children, but he... was also a prepared slave. It was probably the bald old man who had sealed it while he was in a deep sleep and coma.

No wonder that guy didn't kill him. In addition to being unarmed and unable to resist at the time, this slave mark should also be one of the reasons.

"This is... a slave mark, or ownerless..."

Tifa quickly scanned the mark, her eyes no longer flickered, and her voice became a little more serious.

"Why do you have this on you? Are you...are you a slave who escaped from the Order of Sloth?"

Li Shanren put down his hand, turned around, and sighed deeply, "It's a long story..."

He spent several minutes quickly telling the whole story.

"Evor told me that you know more about the Order of Sloth, and maybe there is a way to slightly reduce the influence of the slave mark." Li Shanren said a little lonely. He actually didn't think Tifa could do anything, just die. The horse is just a living horse doctor.

"What can I do..." Tifa shook her head, leaned against the railing, and lowered her eyes, "I am just a victim under the influence of the Sloth Order."

"Huh? Could it be that you..." Li Shanren glanced at Tifa's back unconsciously.
