"Ms. Anna, do you really want to leave without giving it another thought?"
A nurse wearing a simple white shirt at the orphanage placed a package of relief food on the table. Anna didn't look up when her name was read, and scratched a name on the scroll with a pen, and wrote "healing".
Seeing that Anna did not answer, the young man who was about to be discharged from the hospital hesitated to speak. Finally, he said: "Actually, many people recognize your efforts...you only saw a few at the beginning."
Anna stopped writing, raised her head and showed a shallow smile to the young man, and said in an inaudible voice: "I know, okay, according to the examination records, your leg injury has healed and you can leave... ...Lan Jing, give him a few more relief rations, there are only five patients left anyway."
The young man sighed and could no longer say what he had thought about.
After seeing the young man off, Isko happened to start distributing sugar water to the caregivers. Anna stretched out comfortably, picked up a bowl and drank it happily.
There were only a few tables left in the courtyard that was once crowded with patients and help-seeking people. The corridors were so crowded that you couldn't move at all. The pace of high-intensity work of the nursing staff around the clock has changed since Lu Yu's visit half a year ago. There is no going back. As the welfare home stopped providing foreign aid and took off the sign of "Qidian Welfare Home", this small home that has provided voluntary services to Boyne City for nearly three years has ushered in its own leisure and tranquility. .
Many people who habitually come here to ask for relief food fell into a daze as they stared at the door that could no longer be knocked open and the suspension of service announcements plastered all over the walls.
There was also a person who dragged his scarred body longing for temporary shelter, but even if he said the cruel words "If you don't save me, you will die here," the door of the orphanage was still closed. The magicians present discovered that the soundproof circle had blocked the noise outside the door.
The leisurely afternoon tea time in the welfare home was interrupted by the appearance of Lu Yu and others.
"Lord...is this done?" Anna hurriedly asked Isko to bring out four bowls of sugar water with ice. "This is too sudden. We were originally thinking about whether you could do it when summer comes." When we got back to Kolai, there was even some relief food left.”
Lu Yu waved his hand: "Don't mention it, we didn't expect this trip to take such a long time, from Porges, to Cerkalo, to Durderan... It can be regarded as a journey around the continent. Fortunately, all the relics that should be recovered have been obtained."
Lulu drank the sugar water three times, five by two, and when she saw this, Lu Yu handed it to her.
Herola blinked and immediately put the uneaten sugar water into the teacher's hand. At the same time, she asked curiously: "I heard from the teacher that this is an orphanage, but it looks a little deserted."
Lulu waved the spoon: "That's because I haven't told you the details of how we are going to take people out of here. By the way, Anna, are you ready?"
Anna took the registration scroll and clicked on the five names that had not yet been crossed out: "They are the only ones left. They all came here half a year ago. They were seriously injured and are now recuperating."
Lu Yu glanced at Sera, who understood.
"Send her to another welfare home and give her a good compensation. It's time for us to leave Anna."
Hearing the no doubt in Sera's tone, Ana nodded: "I'll have someone make arrangements immediately."
Lu Yu stopped Anna: "Do you understand now why Clorance let us run the welfare home, but did not expect it to be able to run it for a long time?"
Anna was silent for a while and said with a wry smile: "Time has allowed him to accumulate wisdom and condense it into an answer that can be known with just one try... Now I understand."
What was happening silently informed everyone of the people and things that happened to Lawrence back then.
Even for a moment, even though he hated Clorance to the extreme, he didn't choke out a word.
"Lord, the caregivers can follow him to the Dawn Territory. Has this changed?" Isko asked.
"It won't change. Anyone who wants to follow you will be taken away." Sierra made the final decision, then changed the topic and asked, "I want to know, have you heard about the trend coming from Meira?"
…
…
"Have you heard? Qidian Welfare Institute seems to have transferred all the remaining patients."
"Abandoning the patient? I just said that they can no longer play the good guy role. It's exactly what I guessed, right?"
"The patients in the welfare home have been unable to come in or out since half a year ago. Even relief food is no longer distributed. They should really leave."
"Don't be stupid. If they are willing to open it, it proves that it is profitable. It is nothing more than being scolded too harshly in words and writings. They deliberately showed weakness and pretended to be aggrieved. They wanted to use this to make everyone retain him, and then in a pretentious manner Just agree and wait and see, they will reopen sooner or later."
"I think so too. Although a lot of dirty guys died in the half-year money incident, it doesn't mean that the orphanage didn't direct and act on its own. It was all their plan anyway, and I won't be fooled."
"Then you tell me, after they reopen, will you still go and get the relief food distributed?"
"Why not? Let's hope they don't fool us with those nasty scraps again."
There was sudden movement in the orphanage that had been silent for half a year. This caused Boen and even the surrounding city-states to turn their attention to it again. Discussions abounded in the streets and alleys, talking about anything.
After the last five patients were transferred, everyone in the orphanage relaxed their shoulders, and the full-time caregivers who were trained by slaves even smiled and high-fived, as if they had completed a long trial.
Anna announced on the spot that the work in the orphanage was over, and abandoned the weak spiritual contract in public, officially returning freedom to everyone.
A total of fifteen people, without exception, chose to follow Anna to the distant hometown [Morning Territory] that they had talked about countless times, but even she herself had never set foot in person.
Jars of liquid were splashed in every corner of the orphanage under Herola's command. Sera saw Anna's clenched fists and the reluctance in her eyes.
"Are you coming, or am I coming?" Sierra asked.
Anna took a long breath, and the fire magic she learned from the Theocracy ignited at her fingertips. Floating sparks bloomed slowly, and the blazing fire tore through the silence and darkness.
Lu Yu waved his hand and led all the Dawn Leader people onto the ship returning home. Behind them were the people of Boen City who were alarmed by the fire.
The sky was slightly brighter, and the magicians worked together. The fire caused by kerosene and magic materials had subsided. However, people could no longer find the shadow of the orphanage in their memories from the scorched earth. The charred stone pillars appeared. Along with the hot smoke, the choking white smoke is still floating away, and from time to time, rekindled fire spots can be seen on the ruins.
This fire with no casualties has once again become the biggest topic around Boyne City.
Many people were sure it was an accident, and bluntly said that Anna and others would show up again when everyone was lamenting and rebuild the orphanage.
However, as time passed, Anna and the group of skilled and kind caregivers disappeared.
Some people say that Anna was accused of abandoning patients and left in despair because she felt that she could no longer make any money. Others said that Anna felt that people around the city of Beaune were difficult to coax, so she moved to other places in Collet.
However, the people who were craning their necks to wait for Anna to gain sympathy and prepare to be sold out gradually became silent. They suddenly discovered that although the relief food distributed by Anna's orphanage was unpalatable, it was always enough...
"Let me just say that Ms. Anna and Mr. Isko are kind people... Now there is no more free food."
"How do I remember that you didn't say that at the time?"
"..."
The nobles who leased the land to Anna took back the area and sold it quickly, while the businessmen rebuilt it into a casino - adjacent to the slums, those who longed for the blessings of the God of Luck and the opportunity to turn around would continue to come. Visit here.
The wealthy businessmen looked down at the large casino that was gradually taking shape and said: "What a wonderful land. Those people really don't know how to do business. What kind of business can make more money than gambling, sex, and drugs? It's such a waste."
Lu Yu had no way of knowing what was happening in Boyne City. Toby's large ship traveling at night had already allowed them to see the coastline of Mera in the distance. Based on the direction, they should have entered the area of Port de Maurice of Theocratic State.
After slightly changing direction and sailing for a while, the sailors on Toby's ship came to the deck one after another, nervously watching the jellyfish groups floating in the sea and the sea monsters circling the ship - even if there was a magic circle, they could not You can't feel these darlings of the sea, they seem to be integrated with the sea water, coming and going without a trace.
Lu Yu comforted Toby and told them there was no need to panic.
Lulu floated straight out. The jellyfish along the way were startled for a moment, and they rushed to her side one after another, surrounding her on three levels inside and three outside. The color of their bodies all turned into light pink.
"Oh, you still remember me, sirens, don't block the merchant ships from entering the port, we are back!"
The dark green sea monsters had already recognized their lord, and they just wanted to play a little prank. After hearing this, they quickly dispersed. The merchant ship whose speed was restricted was suddenly pulled by a huge force, and it still moved straight forward without any magic power. , accurately positioned at the port of Dawn Leader.
Toby and the other sailors were stunned.
"Mr. Lu Yu... aren't you human?"
Lu Yu laughed loudly: "Why, can't humans become the lords of the Siren clan? Sera is from the Rabbit Ears clan, isn't she also a lord?"
For some reason, Sera feels a little prickly when she hears Lu Yu mention her name...
The stunned Toby saw the bubbles bursting in the water, and the sea monsters rushed to the shore with their powerful tails swinging. They respectfully saluted Lu Yu and others, and Lu Yu... asked them to raise his tail. High five yourself, what kind of weird etiquette is this?
Although he has been sailing for many years, Toby has never seen a siren with such a round tail... This even made him subconsciously think of the word fat. The upper body is slender and the tail is chubby. Is this the characteristic of this siren tribe?
There is a chapter saying that it will be updated when you get up, and the killer whale will supervise the battle!
