A smell of cooked meat echoed in the room.

The burnt gold bricks were poured on his feet like shoes, and the liquefied gold leaf covered his body like a golden garment.The scorching heat made Sheila unable to utter a word other than screaming. In the end, Bai Ziqing burned the gold jewelry and slowly poured it on Sheila's head.

"what----!!!"

pat.

Sheila fell to the ground, and the 'golden crown' that had just solidified hit the ground with a bang.

This villain, who had done so many evils and had so many evil consequences that Bai Ziqing didn't even bother to list, died right away.Naturally, Bai Ziqing hadn't finished the work at hand.

"...Forgive me, Your Majesty! Forgive me!"

"No, no, no, Ernest, are you trying to discredit a king? This is a serious crime." Bai Ziqing carried another pot of liquefied gold with a smile.

"Come on, Ernest, this is yours, the glory and wealth that only you can enjoy?"

"Do not----!!!"

Chapter 39 Leone

Roma Street.

This is the shopping street of the imperial capital, one of the most prosperous areas in the city.It was dawn, and when the store was about to open, the clerks took brooms and cleaned the dust in front of their respective doors to welcome the new day's guests.

At this time, a tall man in a cloak walked into the shop.

"welcome."

It happened that I found a part-time job in this shop, and the little girl who seemed to be only about ten years old entertained the guests with an immature tone.

"...Well, guest." The girl looked carefully at the man who seemed to be able to fight and said, "The kitchen is still preparing, if you need to order something to eat, you have to wait a while, it's not open yet. "

"In the imperial capital, do children of this age have to work part-time?" Bai Ziqing said to the little girl, answering a little out of context.

"Huh?" The blond girl was taken aback.

"No, it's nothing, it's just talking to myself—give me a glass of water." Bai Ziqing just came out early in the morning for a walk, and since he doesn't need to sleep, his schedule has long been different from that of ordinary people, and the so-called three meals a day are nothing more than It's just a habit left over from being a human being.

"Ah, yes." The little girl nodded, and hurried to pour water for the guest, at the same time she asked cautiously and curiously, "...The guest, isn't he from the imperial capital?"

"No." Bai Ziqing said frankly.

"Then where did the guests come from?" The little girl put the water in front of Bai Ziqing. Since the table was a little high for a child of this age, this action looked a little funny and cute.

"Northern." Bai Ziqing patted the little girl's head lightly.

"North?!" The little girl was startled, even she had heard the guests talking about the current situation in the north.

"Little girl, where's your name?" Bai Ziqing ignored the little girl's astonishment.

"...Leone." The blond girl said.

Bai Ziqing's hand holding the cup paused for half a second, then returned to normal.

"Leonai? Good name." Bai Ziqing said casually, "Is this your parents' shop?"

"...No, it's just that the store manager took me in to work." When mentioning her parents, the girl looked a little disappointed.

"Sorry." Bai Ziqing apologized.

"It's okay." Leonai squeezed out a smile, and then asked curiously, "Hey, guest, what kind of place is the north?"

"Hmm..." Bai Ziqing thought about how to make a child who was only in his early ten years understand this problem, and then smiled slightly, "It is possible for Leonai to have a new big family to live together, eat together, sleep together, except Besides, is there a place where I can study?"

To put it simply, it is a place where there are orphanages and three-year compulsory education.

Very ordinary, very ordinary little things.Even because of the existence of some hypocritical orphanages that only provide minimum living security for adopted children, in order to earn the difference between the "adoption grant" and the expenditure, this trivial matter still needs further improvement.

But just such a description is enough to make the eyes of a girl who is about to seek a job at this age shine brightly.

"...you don't need to work, but you can still have food and shelter?" The girl's eyes brightened, "That's great..."

Not just kids.

People in this era actually have very low requirements for happiness: they have a home, there are people in the family, and after a busy day’s work, they only want to have delicious food and steaming soup when they return home, occasionally buy a few new clothes, and spend time with friends on weekdays. Can find time to play poker fishing, or go hunting, that's all.

Especially for children like Leonai, they yearn for an ordinary and stable life even more.

Leonai is only ten years old this year, and if an orphan wants to survive in this world, basically he can only rely on vagrancy and theft.Although many times during the theft process, he was able to survive because he ran fast, but there were always times when he missed his hand. A missed hand would mean a burst of scolding at the slightest, and a beating at the worst.

Stealing is wrong?

This kind of principle is not feasible and meaningless for children who can't survive.

Only when the major premise of "survival" is guaranteed, can human beings have the conditions to talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and have the energy to engage in animal protection and racial discrimination.

"Leonai can also live a stable life?" Bai Ziqing said.

"Really?" Leone wondered.

"Really." Bai Ziqing squatted down solemnly, stretched out his little finger, "pull hook?"

The girl looked at Bai Ziqing's little finger, stretched out her little hand and nodded cutely: "Pull the hook!"

"Pull the hook!"

Bai Ziqing solemnly hooked the two little fingers, one big and one small, together, which represented the ceremony of making a vow that human beings first learned when they were born, and it was completed.
