[Saint Seiya LC] Daughter of the Abyss

Seeing Polly snapping off the unnecessary parts and stuffing the remaining foxglove roots and leaves into the basket, Sasha asked curiously, "Can this be used?"

"Of course not. Foxglove is poisonous, and it cannot be used if it is not handled carefully." Foxglove is indeed a medicine for treating heart disease, but it is also troublesome to use. Can be poisonous in overdose.

"Poisonous?" Aaron, who was picking the young leaves of a plant at Polly's request, couldn't help but ask back.

"Foxglove is very poisonous, so everyone should wash their hands well when they go back." Then she said to Tianma who turned her head, "Concentrate on Tianma, the belladonna you are picking is also poisonous~~~"

Well, Polly admits she did it on purpose to scare the Pegasus.

"Huh~~ah!!" Startled by the word poisonous, Tianma let go subconsciously, and the belladonna leaves he picked just now fell to the ground.

"Hee hee~~"

Poor pegasus, entertaining everyone again.

The efficiency of the four working together is still very fast, and Polly's basket is quickly filled.

After returning to the orphanage, all that was left was the work of cleaning, tidying, and drying. As a result, the sloppy Tianma was driven by three people to fetch water-he couldn't do fine work, so he had to work hard.

Time flies, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and winter is getting closer. For the children in the orphanage, winter is undoubtedly a difficult season. Every year, there are children It can't last until the spring of the second year.

The only good thing is that this is a typical Mediterranean climate. Although it is rainy in winter, it is not very cold, and basically does not drop below zero. It does not happen often that people freeze to death.

After more than a month, Polly's small room has been filled with large and small wooden boxes - she has so little change in her luggage that she can only pick a few from the waste pile of a second-hand store. Defective pharmaceutical equipment and high-quality glassware are not cheap in this era, so she had to make large and small wooden boxes by herself to store raw materials and prepared medicines.

For these messy things in her room, after Polly took some incense that she prepared for the nun, Sister Sophia also maintained tolerance for it-yes, what Polly gave to the nun to sell was spices. It's not medicine. After all, at her age, no one would dare to use the medicine she prepared.At this point, when she told the nun that she could prepare potions, the nun's completely disapproving demeanor reminded her of her tragic age.

"Hasn't Sister Sophia come back yet?" Aaron asked as he weighed out the different types of herbs according to the dosage Polly requested.

Pegasus, who was concentrating on fighting the wild hazel shell, said without even raising his head: "Yes, it stands to reason that he should be back today."

Sister Sophia went to some wealthy families nearby to collect donations. This was a job that had to be done before winter every year. Without this money, it would be very difficult for the children in the orphanage to survive the winter.

"Have you forgotten? Didn't the nun say when she left that she might come back a few days later if she has to go a few more places this time. Ah, Polly! Polly! The thread is knotted, what should I do?"

Sasha looked at Polly nervously, almost tearfully.In front of her lay a dozen small wooden spools with long handles, on which white thread was wound.The bulging black cloth cushion of the bag is inserted with fixing needles, and there is already a few centimeters of white lace that is two fingers wide. It was the result of Sha's hard work for three days.

Polly, who was soaking herbs in olive oil, had to turn around and try to untie the knotted white thread carefully with Sasha. There was no way, because she was the one who taught Sasha how to weave lace.

That’s right, it’s the weaving of handmade lace. In the [-]th century, it was the golden century of handmade lace. Handmade lace is considered a high-end luxury. The price is not cheap. Of course, the output is also tragic. It can weave cuff lace about [-] cm long.

Polly had learned several simple lace weaving techniques when she was bored, and... covered her face, this was what she learned from books when she was Aphrodite.I'm so sorry, it was really boring for her to stay alone in Pisces Palace at that time!Not only weaving lace, but she also learned how to knit wool at that time!After she handed over these simple techniques to Sasha, she let go of them. Whether she can weave decent things depends entirely on Sasha's own efforts.Anyway, Athena's priesthood also includes crafts and women's handicrafts, and she is also very good at weaving. Polly is very optimistic about Sasha's future.

Polly was planning to run away, at least until Sasha was taken away by Sagittarius.But the financial situation of the orphanage is really bad. Even if she concocts some simple spices and sells them as subsidies this month, it is only enough for everyone to eat [-]% to [-]% full.At least now Polly knows that Liaron’s non-stop painting in the original book is definitely not just out of interest and agreement. There is no doubt that there is a more realistic purpose-whether it is selling paintings or painting murals for churches. He earned money to support the children in the orphanage.

As for now, now that she has taught Aaron the art of blending simple spices and Sasha the technique of weaving lace, even if she runs away, the condition of the orphanage will not be too bad.Pegasus you ask?That kid is very strong, he only needs to exert his strength!

Hey~~ Girl Poli, this is an obvious differential treatment!

(Polly: Then what do you want me to teach Pegasus, teach him to grow roses or teach him to knit wool? Don’t you think these two things are very embarrassing when they are associated with Pegasus?)

After finally peeling off all the nut shells, Tenma piled wild hazelnut kernels into a pile, and was about to invite the other three to eat when the door of Polly's room was pushed open.

"No...it's not good..." Margaret, who had a disabled hand, said out of breath, "Pat is injured."
