The Night Adorer Chapter 64: Children’s Wisdom
Annie...
Sulman recognized her identity. It was the investigator from the Steam Church, Anne Caruno, who was with her at the time, and another investigator captain on the steam train. Morrison, and the young man with glasses.
"Miss Anne, why are you here?"
Sulman is a little surprised, isn't she an investigator for the Church of Steam?
According to the tradition of the Steam Church, their investigators entered the civilized city state, mainly collecting materials to transport back to the mobile castle, allowing the castle that maintains an independent ecosystem to replenish the missing materials and ensure its own circulation .
When Miss Anne appeared in the orphanage, Sulman was a little surprised.
However, she gave the answer immediately--
"I have completed the collection mission, and I have nothing to do recently, so I will visit Little Norman."
"After all, he lost his parents and came to the orphanage for the first time. Although I replaced him with the inheritance left by his parents, I managed a lot of relationships..."
"But for some things, it would be better to confirm it with your own eyes...right?"
Annie's hands are behind her back, and she looks at the ground embarrassingly. Obviously, as the young child who left the mobile castle for the first time, she is still a bit jerky. Facing these trivial matters, she doesn't know if she has done it right.
Little Norman was the little boy who lost his parents on the steam train. Later, he was found in a coma in the snow and rescued by Sulman. After arriving all the way to Steel City, Annie volunteered. Took over the task of sending him to the orphanage.
"Really..."
Sulman nodded slightly, agreeing with her move: "It is better to confirm these things personally."
Hearing this, Annie's mouth raised, a little proud, and hurriedly covered it up, pretending to be calm and looking at the garden...It's just that her neck was raised slightly, some of which seemed proud White Swan.
"Miss Anne, you...do you know this gentleman?" asked the somewhat fat middle-aged security guard cautiously.
Although Annie is wearing work clothes and looks like ordinary workers, he dare not neglect the other party. You know, Miss Annie is an investigator of the Steam Guild. As a staff member of the Orthodox Church, her social status is higher than them. I don't know how much.
Even the rich squires, or the nobles of the upper class, dare not be negligent in the face of a church official. They must show their respect, let alone be like him, just more than a stray Han civilians with a slightly higher status.
As for the words of the two ‘slander’ the orphanage, the middle-aged security guard who is rich in life wisdom naturally ignored them.
"Yes, he saved us last time." Annie said with a smile.
Before the middle-aged security guard understood this sentence, at this time, a group of children ran out of the door of the orphanage. They were frolicking, and there was a blond boy wearing a felt hat. Suddenly, his footsteps After a meal, I looked at Sulman in surprise——
"Uncle...Shu 黍!"
Little Norman clearly recognized the savior and ran over with his calf, but his tender and vague words made Sulman’s eyelids jump. Fortunately, Annie said to correct him. Said: "Little Norman, call his brother."
She deliberately emphasized the word ‘brother’ and made her tone a little harsh.
"I know... I see, sister Anne."
Little Norman had never seen Annie. With such a serious attitude, some were scared. Suddenly, he was a little timid, like a kid who did something wrong, shouting to Sulman: "Morning... .. Good morning, Pigeon...... Brother Pigeon."
You are very similar to a terrier from my previous life... Sulman resisted the desire to complain, maintained a graceful smile, and took out the candy bag that he had prepared for a long time from his arms. Coffee-like color, sweet sugar made from cacao fruit.
In the cold northern territories, due to geographical reasons, this sweet candy produced in the Panjie tree area is very expensive. A mere dozen sweets will cost about five or six silver reams, which is about four cents. One gold pound. After all, cocoa fruit is used as the raw material. This kind of material, even in the interior of the Panjieshu domain, is also an upper-class flavored drink.
Fortunately, in the early days of the gray iron age, the steam church invented a new sugar method that can make cocoa fruit into easy-to-preserve candies. Otherwise, the price of a purely raw cocoa without spoilage will be 10% of the price of candies. Several times, it is not something ordinary people can enjoy.
Children are naturally fond of sweets. When Sulman took out the sweets, Little Norman's eyes were already straight, but when he subconsciously reached out to touch the candy, Sulman took the initiative to stop.
Little Norman, who was a little puzzled and aggrieved, looked up at this brother, but saw him smiling--
"Promise me one condition, the half bag of candy here will all belong to you."
Little Norman nodded hurriedly.
"My condition is to share the remaining half bag of candy with your companions."
Little Norman hesitated for a few seconds, and nodded firmly, but when he grabbed to the bag, the candy bag remained firm, and some profound and inexplicable words came from his ear——
"Remember, it's your ‘companion’."
Little Norman was a little ignorant. The next moment, he nodded his head with comprehension and stretched out to the candy bag again. This time, Sulman didn’t stop him, letting Little Norman grab the candy and ran to share it with him. The companions he identified.
Beside , Annie looked at him, slightly complicated.
As an audience who has witnessed everything with her own eyes, at this moment, she couldn’t help but sigh: "You...you really know how to teach children. Compared to you, I feel like a little kid who hasn’t grown up. Children, don’t teach people at all."
Ms. Annie, please be more confident. I suggest you change the image to...Sulman glanced at the other person’s height, smiled and relieved: "Everyone has their own direction. Besides, it’s a good thing that I didn’t see what I did. Let the children know too much..."
Sulman said in a tone, and did not go on. Instead, Annie shook his head and said: "No, this will allow him to adapt to the environment earlier. After all, we are not his parents, and there is no way we can grow up with him... ..... Thank you, Mr. Sulman."
At this time, a young figure who looked like he had just finished busy with his sleeves up came out of the orphanage.
He was wearing the same work clothes, with thicker lenses on his face, and he said with excitement: "Annie, I will help them fix the plumbing....... Good...... Okay, how are you guys."
This young man with glasses is Eddie. When he saw the two people talking about each other, their expressions changed from excitement to dullness, to complexity, and finally returned to normal, which can be called a face change in Sichuan Opera. Sulman was amazed.
It's a pity that Annie, who turned her back to him, didn't see it at all. The next moment, she didn't look back--
"Eddie, I remember that the gas pipes in their kitchens also seem to have some dysfunctions. Often the gas can't be delivered..."
"Go check it out and remember to fix it for them."
Eddie subconsciously said, "Huh?"
"What's wrong? Isn't it possible..." Annie turned her head in amazement, staring at him with big eyes, the latter's face flushed a little, the next moment, Eddie opened her mouth slightly, with firmness Absolutely said in a voice--
"Good."
After speaking, Eddie went back to the orphanage and continued to use his expertise.
"Eddie needs more exercise, otherwise, he is not qualified to hold a ceremony to be promoted to the extraordinary." Annie retracted her gaze, looked at the strange-looking Surman next to him, and said strangely: "What's wrong? Surman? Mr. Man, are you feeling well..."
While talking, Annie was a little nervous, and hurriedly said: "I know a very reliable private doctor. If you feel unwell, I will take you to her immediately..."
"No, it's okay."
Sulman shook his head, glanced at the direction of the orphanage, and sighed silently.
This...This is too lick, right?
.........................
Have a pleasant exchange~IndoMTL.com~Time slowly comes to noon.
After bidding farewell to Annie, Sulman chose one at random and opened a cafe on the side of Gran Street, where he enjoyed a cheaper lunch. In fact, it was already the best set meal in the cafe.
He can feel that when he is enjoying his lunch, a faint sight will fall on his desk outside the window.
You shouldn’t choose the position by the window.........Sulman sighed silently, settled the food on the table as quickly as possible, settled the bill, and wandered in the steelmaking area with his cane. lock up.
Compared to his previous life, this time he looked at the city from the perspective of an aboriginal, but he had a completely different experience.
Many street children who sell matches, young pickpockets who quietly look at pedestrians, are not well-dressed but are better than young street girls, wandering on the street because they can't find a temporary job, and their faces are full of numb workers.. .......
The transcendents, nobles or church officials in the world of eternal night, really are not the same world as ordinary people...Sulman walked forward silently, experiencing this world from another perspective, I don’t know. Unconsciously, the time came to the afternoon and evening, and he finally reached the end of the steelmaking area.
The streets here are a bit familiar, and they are within the bounds of the Jazz Quarter.
"It's time to go to the party..." Sulman tidied up and walked forward, the white bungalow that had been turned off, with the sign of the'Golden Song' club hung on it.
Unsurprisingly, this party should be able to meet ‘Ms. Black Butterfly’.
