Wrong, my skills refresh every week

"The Phoebus family was disbanded a few days ago!" Charles realized that it must have happened during the great struggle and the civil unrest in various kingdoms.

"I see. That's why Phoebus chose this time to send Welf away."

Fels stared at Charles in surprise for two seconds. "Phoebus did let his followers run away secretly. It can be said that your plan is perfect as long as you modify the timing of this message."

As he said this, he handed Charles the parchment with the emblem of the Phoebus family.

Alfia pondered, "So, those children can now be treated as adventurers without a family?"

Fels nodded, and she took out five invitation letters from the guild: "This is a recommendation letter from within the guild. Fill in the basic information and you can start work tomorrow."

"It helped a lot."

at the moment……

"It's time to tell Anya about this. The puzzle is almost complete."

They have the support of Freya, a top power, Astraea, an absolute reputation, and Fels, who can order the guild around at will.

Ciel's influence has spread to both the black and white worlds of Orario, and what remains is the people's support.

Ciel cast his gaze towards the cramped and busy street under the dim lights - Daedalus.

“Children are the hope of the future.”

……

The next day.

Charles arranged for Lily, Lunova and others to deal with the land deeds between churches and the construction of shops, while he himself visited Maria Orphanage.

Like the Orario neighborhood, the bricks and tiles here are dilapidated, and the houses are full of scorch marks and cracks, just like the church that Charles visited for the first time.

Seeing a stranger approaching, the children hiding under the rubble stared at Charles with vigilance and fear.

"Are you the new brother?" A four-year-old human boy stood up and stared at Charles timidly.

He was afraid that it was not a good thing for older children to come here, not to mention that since yesterday, there were many children from other places wandering around.

"No, I'm just going home."

"Family?"

"What's your name? That's amazing. Is Mother Maria here?" Charles smiled.

"My name is Lei! Mother Maria has gone to receive the bread given by the "Goddess"."

As Lei extended his hand, Charles saw a familiar woman with black hair tied into a bun and a slightly thin face in a corner of the mottled street.

In front of her was a pink-haired girl who placed the heavy purse in her arms into Mother Maria's hands, causing her to look slightly surprised.

Charles narrowed his eyes. That was not a "goddess" but just an ordinary girl. However, his keen hearing allowed him to hear the girl's words clearly.

"Don't worry. I recently met a big customer who is willing to spend money. He is a senior adventurer of Loki's family. I will soon be the wife of a rich man." The girl stroked her belly.

"It's better not to do something so dangerous. If you are exposed, you will be in danger."

"Stupid tape, I can handle it." The pink-haired girl glanced at the orphanage, but when her eyes met with Ciel's, a panicked expression appeared on her face:

"Mama Maria? Who is that?!"

Maria turned around, and when she saw Charles' face, she smiled brightly. She ran back quickly and hugged Charles in her arms:

"Ciel, you are Ciel-kun, right? Wuwuwu..."

"It's me, what's wrong? Mama Maria?"

"Wow, I thought you were like the other children and would never come back." Tears fell on Maria's mother's face.

That's not blaming myself for being heartless. When she said "she won't come back", it literally meant a farewell forever.

Ciel also knew very well that there were many children like him who went out to become adventurers in order to support the orphanage, but most of them died outside.

Orario was just that cruel, and Charles knew it very well.

"Okay, everyone will have a good life from now on. I promise." Charles comforted the kind and gentle woman.

Chapter 254 Maria’s worries.

Charles gently pressed Maria's mother's shoulders and pushed her away.

He smiled and said, "Although I didn't become a great adventurer, I made a lot of money."

Charles took out a land deed from his arms and placed it in Mother Maria's hand.

"I have bought all the houses near the orphanage, and will have people come over to renovate them. No matter how many brothers and sisters we have in the future, we will be able to provide for them!"

Mother Maria covered her mouth and burst into tears:

“I don’t care how big the house is, I just hope my children can choose not to be risk takers in the future.”

Charles suddenly:

"Mother Maria, in this world, it is difficult to survive without strength."

"I know, but I don't want to see my kids go away and never come back."

The two returned to the dilapidated church (orphanage) in silence, and Charles saw several children still lying in swaddling clothes. The little boy named Lei was skillfully making batter and feeding it to the babies little by little with a spoon.

There are three orphanages like the Maria Church in Daedalus Street.

Every year, we receive abandoned babies and orphans sent from outside.

Sister Maria sighed and said, "In Orarine, there are many children born between adventurers. They are not necessarily the fruit of lifelong love. They are just greed for temporary happiness or the prostitutes are careless."

"These women got pregnant for a variety of reasons."

The nun was playing with the baby in her swaddling clothes, with a look of compassion on her face:

"Often, adventurers who sneak into the dungeon will die first, leaving behind the mother and child."

"Among them, there are many children who were not adopted by the Families or were abandoned by their mothers."

Sister Maria sniffed and looked at Charles kindly: "I'm sorry, I can't help but talk to you about this because you're already grown up."

"No, it's okay. You can talk to me."

Ciel knew that Maria herself was also one of those 'abandoned' by the adventurers.

"Who was that child just now?" Charles remembered the "goddess" that Lei mentioned.

Maria looked sad:

"Those are the prostitutes who helped us."

She smiled bitterly, "Some are people who left the orphanage to raise children, and some are people who abandoned their children but couldn't bear to see them suffer, so they quietly used their salaries to supplement ours."

"To the outside world, they would use the names of their respective orphanages to conduct business. So there are many free prostitutes with the stage name "Maria"."

"It's ridiculous, she's a prostitute, but she's called a goddess."

Ciel pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "To the children, they are the gods who give food."

Seeing Sister Maria's serious expression, Charles asked:

"You seem to have some concerns?"

"That child... is an older child from an orphanage." Sister Maria said worriedly, "She is doing something very dangerous. Using children to restrain adventurers, especially from a big faction like the Loki clan. If they abandon her, there will be another innocent child abandoned..."

"It's obviously such a birth, and it creates the same tragedy for the next generation. I... I feel very sad."

"..."

Loki's family? Who are they? So brave?

Based on his memory, Charles quickly found a certain "superhuman" man who would embezzle public funds in the future.

Charles patted Sister Maria's back comfortingly: "It's okay. Once the orphanage is expanded and everything gets better, she won't have to be so extreme."

"We can also hire them back to take care of the children."

"Look, if a big protest breaks out, there will be a lot of children coming here. I'm afraid you alone will have trouble..."

Sister Maria wiped her tears and said, "Is it okay? It must be a big burden for you alone."

"Stupid tape! I'm super rich now!" Charles casually put a key to the goblin vault in Sister Maria's hand:

"It contains some of my jewelry. I don't know how to build an orphanage, so why not leave it to you?"

As he spoke, Charles warned, "A sudden large sum of money may be coveted by some bad guys. During the construction period, it is best to hire some adventurers from the Ganesha clan to guard. If there are people you can't handle, you can come to me."

Charles took out a mask and placed it in Sister Maria's hand.

"Now I live in the church on West Street. That area is all my shops and houses. If you have sisters or brothers who don't have jobs, I can introduce them to work there."

Hearing Charles' intention to leave, Sister Maria tentatively asked, "How about staying for breakfast?"

"No. I'll come back often when I have time." Charles smiled and said, "I still have a lot of things to do next."

"Then, be careful." Maria looked at Charles worriedly: "Come back often."

Being able to get so much money means that the work to be done is definitely not easy. This is the labyrinth city of Orario. Even if you do business, you will be suppressed by other major factions.

After Charles left.

Another female voice was heard outside the church, and when Maria opened the door, she saw a gray-haired street girl in casual clothes.

"Hello, excuse me."

"you are?"

"I'm Xi'er. I was also born in a slum when I was little. Um... can I come here often?"

The gray-haired girl put her hands behind her back and bent down slightly to greet the little kids.

She was Helen, who received Freya's divine command and followed and observed the Charles.

Although she didn't know why Lady Freya suddenly became interested in her younger brother, Helen didn't hate this kind of daily following. In fact, she was very happy with it.

Xier, who was immersed in the "Brother Observation" activity, unexpectedly came to the place where she lived in her childhood and couldn't help but knock on the door.

"Um..., do you know Ciel-kun?"

"That's my brother. Mama Maria."

Maria's eyes widened slightly, and a look of joy appeared on her face: "Charles has been here..."

"Shh!" Xier blinked, and a pink charming light bloomed: "This is forbidden."

Using the authority of the goddess of beauty, Sister Maria's memory of "abandoning her brother" was blurred.

Done everything.

She walked in familiarly and quickly used her skills as a street girl to become friends with the children.

Not only that, she even stayed behind to prepare the food herself. However, when the children saw the dark "Stargazing" that emitted a strange gas, they immediately pinched their noses and ran away.

"Eh? This is clearly a dish that was made with great care, so try it."

"No, if we eat that, we'll die!"

The joyous time passed by...

Before leaving, Xier put down a bag of Farley and said with a smile:

"This is assistance from a genuine "goddess."

"I'll come often, too, Mother Maria."

Chapter 255 Loki: There are two Miss Ais?

Leave Maria Orphanage.

Ciel walked around the complicated and narrow alleys and came to the headquarters of the Loki clan in the north of the city - [Dusk House].

At this time, many adventurers gathered in the huge castle garden.

These are all members of "noname". As mentioned in the meeting yesterday, the Loki family will arrange for these adventurers to carry out the necessary work.

After experiencing the great struggle, most of these adventurers have reached level 2 or close to level 2 strength, which is just right for the Loki clan who are lacking in middle and low-level blood.

Finn stood on a chair on the stairs in front of the castle, looking down at the adventurers. Compared to the hundreds of people yesterday, there were only about 60 people present at this moment.

"It's thirty minutes past the time limit and everyone is not here yet. Raul, please record the absences."
