The capital of the Magic Kingdom is surrounded by walls, and its shape is rectangular. Each of the four corners is guarded by watchtowers to resist foreign enemies. There are three gates in total. The residence of the king of the capital, that is, the castle, is located at the front end of the rectangular capital. Outside the only suspension bridge connected, surrounded by lakes on three sides, it is the most difficult position in the capital to attack.

Except for the castle, the front end of the capital is almost all houses and territories of the wind and fire nobles. As for the gates that are most likely to be captured, they are all residential houses. According to the individual divisions of the gates, the left, right and rear ends are different. The domain of the nobility.

What Jieshi and the girl are going to is the residence near the leftmost gate of the capital.

The house is almost indistinguishable from other houses, but inside it is an orphanage with a large number of children.

Jieshi and the girl walked into the only orphanage in the capital of the Magic Kingdom, and the first thing they saw was the wooden floor that began to show signs of fracture. The tables and chairs all showed signs of cracking and corrosion. The whole collapse, the only stove that can heat the house is burning wood, dirty paper, sawdust, and burnt dust. Clothes sewn from a few rags are worn on the body to keep warm.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

The girl next to Jieshi gently stroked the cheek of the girl who was only about seven years old standing by her waist, and proposed to the owner of this orphanage, two couples in their early thirties, in a heavy and sad tone.

Strictly speaking, it was not a proposal, but from the tone of the girl who couldn't show her face, it sounded more like a request.

"Miss Xiao Yan has already helped us a lot, we really don't need much explanation."

"Yes, miss, you also need to live, we really shouldn't take too many of your supplies."

The couple, who didn't know the girl's true identity, obviously thought that they shouldn't accept too many resources.

In fact, the girl next to Jieshi has already donated a lot of money and materials needed by the orphanage, and the accumulated amount of these needs has far exceeded the level that ordinary civilians can sponsor.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess the reaction of the couple who are unwilling to continue to accept, but if the girl directly reveals her identity and directly gives a large amount of money, things will be more troublesome. It may be hated by other nobles, so the family is destroyed and the entire orphanage is destroyed.

Therefore, the girl cannot reveal her true identity no matter what.

"Xiaoya, wouldn't it be great to have warm and comfortable new clothes to wear this cold winter?"

Aware of the anxiety and helplessness of the girl beside her about this orphanage, Jieshi turned his gaze to the little girl next to her.

This action immediately attracted the attention of the couple in charge of the orphanage, and the girl who came with Jieshi showed a puzzled look.

"No, don't want to, we, we can't receive help all the time."

Although the little girl who was picked up showed a longing expression for a moment, she then vigorously shook her silver-haired little head and rejected Jieshi with a tone as if she had been defeated by reality.

Hearing this "Xiaoya"'s response, the couple sighed in relief.

"Look, Xiaoya, I don't wear much, and my brother really wants to have new clothes and a warm stove. I will always ask the elder sister next to me for help. She is very kind. So Xiaoya, you can do it for me. Do you agree? In order to keep everyone warm through this winter, and to let everyone spend every day happily, okay?"

"Yes, but."

I saw that Xiaoya couldn't refuse to show a confused expression for a while, and finally she could only look at her parents in name as if asking for help.

"No, that's right, I will never be discouraged, please don't refuse this money for everyone and Xiaoya!"

She roughly figured out the motive behind Jieshi's opening, the girl covered her face with the cloak didn't wait for the couple to refuse to respond again, she immediately moved to the couple, took out a leather bag full of gold coins from the cloak covering her whole body, and delivered it to him. In the hands of the couple, it is impossible for the couple to return the bag.

"This, this money!"

The suspicious couple gently opened the seal, and when they saw the contents inside, they screamed in fright, and immediately stretched out their hands to return the huge money.

In the end, before he could straighten his hands, he was blocked by Jie Shi's hand.

"Yelling like that will wake up the other kids."

Facing the couple with a smile, Xiaoya shook slightly and was hugged.

"Hahaha! It's fun!"

"Xiaoya, why don't we go out for a stroll in the rest of the time?"

"Mom and Dad?"

"But here, these gold coins."

It was obvious that they were taken aback by the smell of bags full of gold coins.

"Xiaoya, your parents need to think about how to make this home warmer. Come on, put on your clothes and let's go outside to get some fresh air."

Grabbing the heavy coat nearby and wrapping it around Xiaoya, Jieshi hugged Xiaoya with one hand, opened the wooden door and walked outside.

"Wait, wait! Miss Yan, this money is too precious."

"It's worth it for these children. Both I and Jieshi trust you and sincerely hope that this warm orphanage will be better."

The girl kept her face hidden from sight and whispered, then walked out of the gate, and then stopped when she remembered something.

"We will bring Xiaoya back before dinner, please don't worry, the other money must make the children spend this cold season happily, we are looking forward to it!"

After finishing speaking, he closed the wooden door without looking back, and trotted to Jieshi's side.

"Okay, it's cold! It's cold outside today!"

The clothes on Xiaoya are coats and cloaks made of several pieces of cheap fabric, which are different from the girl called "Xiao Yan". People are amazed.

Although the color of the exterior is plain, if you look closely, you can still find that the fabric of the clothes is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

"Then let's go to the shopping street! Let's go buy Xiaoya's clothes!"

Like a biological mother, Jie Shi felt silent for a while because of "Xiao Yan"'s behavior. After all, this is too different from the usual image of aristocrats, especially when facing these children, Xiao Yan can't help but spoil him.

"No, Xiaoya, Xiaoya is not cold anymore!"

"Xiaoya, what's the matter? Why do you suddenly say you're not cold?"

"Xiaoya is really not cold!"

Hearing this, Xiaoya's body was still trembling, it was obvious that what Xiaoya said was not the truth.

"Because if Xiaoya has new clothes, it will be unfair to everyone!"

This sentence blurted out, not only Jie Shi, but even Xiao Yan paused for a while, and the two looked at each other with a sense of astonishment in their eyes.

"Too, so kind! Xiaoya, you are so kind!"

Xiao Yan, who was always doting on children, hugged Xiaoya tightly in the next second and rubbed her cheeks tightly against Xiaoya's smooth and soft face.

"We can't leave Xiaoya cold, how about this, let's go near the Huo family's territory."

It is rumored that the family head of the Fire family used his own heating magic to raise the temperature of the territory in the capital that is exclusive to the Fire family. As for the reason for doing this, it seems that the reason for doing this is to allow people who pass by to get through the cold with a little peace of mind, and then admire the Fire family.

It is an act that likes to show off one's own strength and make others admire it.

Except for the option to buy clothes for Xiaoya, Xiaoyan's proposal is indeed a good choice, but there is a big problem, a big problem.

"Don't get carried away. This method won't work at all."

"why?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's head tilted slightly with the cloak on, showing a puzzled look, Jie Shi sighed deeply.

"Civilians may still be able to go there, but I am already hated by everyone in the Magic Kingdom, especially the territory of the Fire Family, and there are also nobles there. It is very likely that someone will find out your identity."

"Well!"

After being reprimanded and lowered her head, Xiao Yan suddenly felt ashamed, because she knew very well that what Jie Shi said was not wrong.

"Big sister, what is your identity?"

What Jieshi and Xiaoyan said just now undoubtedly aroused Xiaoya's curiosity. When this question was blurted out, a moment of silence pervaded the three of them, only Xiaoya looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"Xiaoya, I am who I am."

After a few seconds of dead silence, Xiao Yan picked up Xiao Ya and shook her left and right. The blue eyes protruding from under the cloak made her feel reassuring.

"Haha, it's fun!"

I saw Xiaoya waving her limbs happily, and her face was full of smiles.

"Well, how about we go to the shopping street to buy some hot soup?"

"But friends from the orphanage."

"We're outside and they're inside, so it's a bonus and a secret between us, okay?"

As if she was abducting a child, Xiaoya fell into deep thought after listening to Xiao Yan's words, and then nodded with a smile again.

"Okay, let's go then! Go to the market in the Magic Kingdom!"
