I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

I don't know how long it took Elena to open her eyes. The golden light was quite dazzling. Aside from the choking feeling at the beginning, the feeling of absorbing the magic core with the dragon's breath into the body was still very good.

This made Elena look forward to absorbing the real dragon magic core one day. That feeling must be much more comfortable than now.

When Elena came to her senses, she found that there was a worried look around her. She turned her head and saw that Kalina was quite uneasy.

"I'm fine, or I'd rather say I'm fine."

Elena was a little moved and reached out to rub the other's head, but the effect didn't seem to be very good.

Obviously, touching the other's head yesterday would show a very happy expression, but now Kalina shook her head and shook Elena's hand away, looking like she was not so easy to get rid of.

"Please be good to yourself, I only have you."

Kalina bit her lips and said tremblingly. How could such a young child say such words without making people feel distressed?

At this time, Elena realized that his life no longer belonged to him alone. He was not as carefree as before. Even if he was exposed in the wilderness, no one would remember his situation.

"Don't worry, I'm not so fragile. Your mother gave you to me. I won't leave you alone in this world."

Elena didn't know how to comfort the child, so she could only hold him gently in her arms and tell the most skilled lies of adults.

"Yeah."

Kalina was very well-behaved and responded to Elena's hug, even though she knew that Elena's guarantee was not credible at all, but just a hypocritical promise made by ugly adults.

After taking Kalina to wash and prepare for the morning, Elena took her out of the room and went to the church for dinner.

Mixed with other children, Kalina still looked out of place. Even though her appearance and age looked similar, the temperament exuded by Kalina was a little too mature.

Even though the children in the orphanage were relatively obedient, Kalina still looked like a naive child.

After breakfast, Irina had to rush to the blacksmith shop. Kalina wanted to follow her. She wanted to stick to Irina for 24 hours.

But Irina was going to study, not to play, so it was impossible for Kalina to follow her.

Kalina was not willful. After getting Irina's explanation, she stayed in the orphanage obediently. Irina felt a little distressed for her obedience. She was not like a child of this age at all. Irina still hoped that Kalina could be more willful.

Soon they came to the blacksmith shop. Before Irina entered the door, she was forcibly pulled into the house by a red figure.

After a dizzy spell, Irina found herself sitting in front of the stove, and in front of her stood a beautiful and hot girl like a flame.

"Come out?"

He asked in a questioning tone. It was obvious that Melissa had known that Elena was imprisoned in the dungeon and had been waiting for him to come out.

"Well, a lot of things happened."

Elena said with a guilty conscience. He had to admit that he was not used to facing Melissa.

Although the other party was just stern, he could always feel an invisible pressure that made him dare not look into her eyes.

"Where is the equipment?"

Although it was difficult to get along with her, Melissa was very considerate. She knew that Elena's situation was complicated, so she would never ask too much, which made Elena feel comfortable in another sense.

"Equipment... all ruined..."

After saying that, Elena turned his head away with a guilty conscience. Most of his equipment was made by Melissa herself. He would definitely feel guilty if he broke something.

In fact, Melissa did frown. When she heard what Elena said, her face darkened visibly.

What Irina didn't expect was that Melissa didn't say anything harsh, but just reached out and rubbed his face and pinched his body.

"I'm glad you're okay."

After a round of body search, Melissa breathed a sigh of relief as if she had confirmed something, and asked in a gentle tone, and reached out to rub Irina's head.

The sudden move made Irina a little uncomfortable, and he always felt like he was being taken advantage of. However, he also felt that Melissa really cared about him. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything and just let Melissa touch him.

Unfortunately, this atmosphere didn't last too long. Melissa's father, who was Irina's master, came over.

Although he was reluctant to disturb himself,It was a good thing for the daughter of the old family, but Elena had been his apprentice for too long, and it was time for him to pick up the various skills that an apprentice should learn again.

Elena did not refuse, and followed the blacksmith to learn very respectfully. Her physical fitness was strengthened. She had the physical strength and perseverance, and with the drive to study hard, Elena made rapid progress.

The blacksmith was a little surprised. He didn't expect Elena to be such a good seedling. To be honest, he accepted Elena as an apprentice at the beginning just for the sake of the old nun, and never thought about what such a weak child could learn.

But now Elena really changed his mind, and it was too late to start. If today's performance can be maintained, the blacksmith feels that he can have one more successor.

Thinking of the other apprentices, the blacksmith couldn't help but sigh and shook his head. It's not that they are not motivated, but they are too far behind Elena.

The most important thing is that he has no talent and is not tough enough to learn real skills from him, which makes the blacksmith very uncomfortable. He thinks that he has to spur these lazy guys.

So today's blacksmith shop ushered in a day full of resentment. Faced with the excessive demands of the blacksmith, the apprentices groaned.

They would never dream that the reason why they suffered was that the culprit would be Elena who finally came back.

After waving the hammer all morning, Elena declined the invitation of the blacksmith and Melissa to have lunch, and walked directly to the orphanage.

It is more relaxing to eat at home. He also has to report to the Adventurer's Guild in the afternoon, so he won't bother the blacksmith at home.

There was no obstruction along the way, and Elena successfully returned to the church, but as soon as he entered the door, Elena saw an unexpected figure.

Under the support of the children, the leader of the Red Lotus Knights, Elena, sat on the bench in the church, holding a picture book commonly seen in noble homes, and was telling stories to the children in the orphanage.

Even the shy Kalina sat not far away. Although she didn't come closer, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully. Her golden eyes emitted a faint light, and it was obvious that she really enjoyed listening to stories.
