Half-elf Notebook

Ina did not respond, nor did she continue to ask for details about the visitor.

It seems that he hopes that this topic will end here.

Instead, she handed the thing in her hand to Bol.

As soon as Bor took the bulging cloth bag, he immediately realized that the things stored inside were unusually heavy.

Although it was only the size of a fist, it felt to her like it weighed nearly a pound and a half.

Looking at Ina's smiling face, Bol couldn't help but think of it.

At this moment, children playing with Winnie in the church yard.

"Did she buy a statue of a goddess? I hope she won't spend a lot of money on it..."

Boll couldn't help but worry.

As far as she knew, even plaster statues or iron and bronze statues did not require carving.

The price ranges from one to three silver coins.

But when she put the strap on her knees, she quickly realized that it was different from what she had imagined.

What's inside is not an object, or rather, not a whole object.

After Boer untied the hemp rope tied to the bag.

A hint of dark gold suddenly emerged from the cloth bag.

Under the dim light, each one was printed with a knight riding a horse with a spear in hand.

Or gold coins with the portrait of King Fulham I piled up in it.

The number was the largest number of gold coins Bibor had ever seen.

Two months ago, the elf male left behind even more gold coins.

Her face didn't look good.

"Xue, stealing is wrong."

Bol said this sternly, and returned the purse to Ina.

"what?"

Ina was also caught off guard.

This was her negligence.

Recently, the amount of money circulating in her hands was so huge that her value of gold coins was shifted.

Blurred what a gold coin means to a citizen of a small city.

What's more, to express her gratitude to Bor, Ina also put one-fifth of her existing property in it.

A full one hundred gold coins.

On the South Side streets a little further from the East Side, this amount is enough to buy two two-story townhouses.

After a little thought, Ina finally understood why Bol accused her of stealing.

This amount is really too large.

It would be difficult for an average successful businessman to earn a hundred gold coins in five years.

Even though Bol had already assumed that Rick was a frugal and excellent adventurer.

She could only imagine that the gold coins came from the savings he had saved.

If it were any other ancient priest or nun, they would have kicked me out of the church on the spot and reported me to the soldiers...

But I can't say that this is the reward I get for protecting the princess of the kingdom - who would believe it?

Ina was embarrassed.

She suddenly had a feeling about what happened to her.

Each one is more ridiculous than the last.

Seeing that Bol was about to urge her, Ina had to make up a lie on the spot that she didn't even believe.

"This is because... I sold a gift from Rick. Yes... a birthday gift."

"I didn't save any money, but I still wanted to bring something back to the church to help other kids in similar situations, so I sold it. It was pretty valuable, about the same as this one."

Ina pointed to the flame-shaped hairpin on top of her head that looked very expensive.

Although lies are very suspicious, it is not impossible to gain the trust of others if there is corresponding physical evidence.

"But, that's not right."

Sure enough, Bol was no longer so angry, and his tone softened a lot, becoming more helpless.

She knew the merchant would not give Ina a chance to redeem herself.

If a merchant can buy an ornament for 130 gold coins, it means that the ornament itself is worth at least gold coins or even more.

"I'll take half, and you can take the rest back."

"Apologize to that gentleman and tell him honestly that you donated the other half to the church to help the children."

Bol clasped his hands together.

"May the goddess protect his beloved relatives just as he protected your growth."

What Ina did was undoubtedly for the children and for this dilapidated church.

Bol believes he is not qualified to condemn.

But she also didn't want the relationship between Ina and Mr. Lake to deteriorate.

"I see."

Ina agreed readily.

After all, it was his own money, and Rick had no idea about it.

After Bor accepted the fifty gold coins, Ina suddenly stopped talking.

Instead, after a long silence, he finally stated the final purpose of his visit.

Her voice was no longer as lively as before:

"I want to pay tribute to Hong, is that okay?"

"Of course, she should be happy that you can come back to see her."

Bol's lips moved as he responded uncomfortably and weakly.

A name is something special and rare among homeless children.

Except for those that were given names before they were abandoned.

Many children who belong to gangs do not have their own names.

They don't care, and are even very wary and afraid of it.

Because as long as they make a mistake, the gang members can easily find the beggar children with names through questioning and punish them.

Therefore, children rarely mention their own names.

Boll remembered the kid, though.

Even the child's name was not given by Bol.

Because, it was the first time that she got to know the child "Hong".

It was Ina who was beside her.

It was also at that time that Xue, whose cheeks were frozen by her own tears, returned to the church.

Begging her to bury the body of the girl named "Red".
