Chapter 219 Silent Taylor

Camus stepped onto the stairs with gentle steps, and the knock of his leather shoes on the marble stairs was heard far away.

"It's strange, where are those children? Didn't you see those children last time?" Kamius glanced around and found that it was very quiet on both sides of the corridor. The breeze blew some white curtains and swayed slightly. As for the voices of the children, There was no sound of reading at all, which made him slightly surprised.

"Mr. Camoo"

Just when Camus wanted to go to the next room to see what was going on, a clear female voice came from the stairs above. Camus looked up and saw Taylor, who had an old face, wearing a white dress and gold-rimmed glasses. Ms. Li, she was holding a delicate small bag and looking at herself with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Taylor."

Camus took off his hat and bent slightly, saying hello politely.

"Mr. Relimon Camus, I'm glad you are here. Please follow me." Teleli adjusted her glasses, turned around and walked back to the dean's office. Camus glanced sideways at the rooms on both sides and was silent for a moment. He also followed.

"What do you need to drink? I have some Yordle cured tobacco and standard Drav black tea here." Entering the dean's room, a smiling Teleli pointed to the sofa beside her and motioned for Kamius to sit down, saying in a warm voice Asking.

"I don't smoke, so let's have black tea." Camus casually put his hat on the coat rack next to him and looked around the room. He saw a map of Drav's country hanging on the left wall of the room, and a map of Drav's country on the right. There is an oil painting on it, which is a photo of Teleli wearing a white robe with a group of children. In the painting, Teleli's face is full of doting, and the children are also smiling.

"Then you have to take a sip of the standard black tea of ​​the Drav Republic. This is not very popular in the country. Most citizens in the country prefer the standard black tea of ​​the Madica Empire." Ms. Teleli, who was already on the verge of old age, opened her stool and then He picked up a black wooden box from the side, poured out some dark red tea leaves, and brewed two cups of black tea.

"Taste it..."

Teleli put a cup of black tea in front of Camus and walked back to her seat.

How do I know what it tastes like? I have lost my sense of taste. How should I review this cup of coffee later?

Kamiao looked at the coffee in front of him and complained secretly. He picked it up and took a sip, responding vaguely.

"very good."

"Mr. Camus, apart from the alimony you should pay, there is another thing that comes to you this time. Taylor's mood has been very unstable recently. She actually injured her companion and cursed the teacher here with unpleasant words. Her behavior is very bad. You are her de facto guardian. I hope you can enlighten her." Hearing Kamui's comment on the black tea, Taylor smiled slightly and handed over some documents while she appealed. Miao took it and flipped through it. At the top was the bill she was supposed to pay, and below were several teacher reports on Taylor's abnormalities. The above clearly described Taylor's many abnormalities, including hitting people, swearing, destroying tables, and staying up at night to read. He was in a daze with a candle, or even talking to himself in front of the wall.

"this?"

The stubborn little kobold girl suddenly appeared in Camus' mind. The little girl with unyielding eyes. If he remembered correctly, she seemed to be only eight years old. Did she really do these things?

"I'm sorry, she has caused you trouble. Can I see her?" After Camus finished reading the document, he gently handed it back, apologized sincerely, and proposed to meet Taylor. Require.

"Okay, this is part of the purpose of your coming here. You have said before that you will pay Taylor's living expenses every half month. Have you read the bill above?" Ms. Taylor nodded slightly, and she took out the bill alone. After handing it back, Camus twitched the corner of his mouth and immediately took out 2 gold and 10 silver coins from his wallet and handed it over, because he had already read it just now. The living expenses in the bill were about 80 silver, but Taylor destroyed some things. If there is more, the rest is compensation.

"Very good, I hope you can enlighten Taylor. If she continues like this, we will take necessary measures. You are her guardian. I hope you will be mentally prepared." Ms. Taylor pushed back the gold coins Kamius put on the table. In the drawer, he said something in a heavy tone.

"Necessary measures? What are they?" Camus immediately spoke after hearing the keyword. He still didn't understand Taylor's situation, but Taylor's words about necessary measures still made him subconsciously ask.

"We will send her back to your home. She has no relatives. You are her guardian. This is your responsibility." Teleli stared at Kamius' dark glasses and spoke calmly. He stood up slowly and led Kamius Miao walked out.

Well, this is all my fault, why did I meddle in this business in the first place? Kamuo complained in his heart. Although he complained, he still felt that he should do that. As a young man in the new era, he was still a little repelled by this kind of racial discrimination and class division, but there was nothing he could do about it. , as far as he knew, the racial trend of the entire continent was like this, because this division of dark races was proposed by the Church of the Sun and the Adventurer's Guild.

"well"

Well, poor Taylor, I hope I can solve your trouble this time. Camus sighed softly and followed Ms. Taylor slowly.

The two walked from the dean's office upstairs to the second floor, which was exactly where Camus was curious. He turned his head slightly and found that the curtains flying not far away were a little strange. The curtains flew diagonally in the air, but they did not roll, but flew stiffly diagonally, as if someone was pulling the curtains to prevent him from moving.

"Mr. Camus, it's afternoon now, and the children are playing on the lawn behind the building." Just as Camus was about to observe carefully with the Eye of Truth, Taylor's gentle voice interrupted his action, and he immediately retracted his gaze and followed Taylor.

The rich afternoon sunshine made the air sultry. The two walked to the corridor on the first floor and pushed open a wooden red door. A lush world appeared in Camus' eyes. There were some green lawns and tall trees. On the lawn in the middle, hundreds of children were sitting cross-legged on the ground in a circle. A blonde girl was holding a scarf and running around the children. She suddenly dropped the scarf behind a boy and ran back to her position, and the boy had not yet reacted.

"Haha, York, it's your turn to perform."

"What a fool."

"These are the children who lost their parents in Kaldi City. Most of their parents are real civilians. They were sent here by the police, the Adventurer's Guild and the Church of the Sun. Of course, there are also people like you who sent them here in person." Seeing Camus looking at the group of children, Taylor Li, who was standing beside her, described the origins of these children.

"Most of them are humans, and there are very few aliens." Hearing his description, Camus glanced around and found that most of the children were humans, and there were very few aliens. He was surprised and spoke.

"The orphanage has limited space, and the funds provided by the church and the municipal government are only enough to maintain the expenses of hundreds of children, so these orphans are all high-quality orphans, and they will be qualified children." Taylor Li spoke softly, and several teachers not far away also stood up immediately after seeing her, and she gently waved to the children.

"There are tens of thousands of orphans in Caldecott City now, and most of them are in the lower streets. They have learned to steal, rob, and use dirty language in that complex environment. They are just a group of qualified hooligans who lack time. They will lead these children astray. This is why I don't accept orphans from the lower streets." Seeing Camus lowering his head in thought, Taylor Li explained the reason why the orphanage does not accept orphans from the lower streets.

"There may be more orphans, so they are lucky." Hearing these descriptions, Camus was silent. The riots some time ago caused more children to lose their parents. What should those children do?

And under such cruel conditions, children from the lower streets will be forced to learn these skills, because their parents can't even fill their stomachs with wages, and can't maintain the needs of those children's growth. If they want to survive, they must find a way to get more food like other children.

"Alas... I know they are pitiful, but I can't help them. If you hadn't been willing to pay Taylor's living expenses, I would have rejected you." Seeing that Camus was still silent, Taylorli understood his mood. As long as a kind-hearted person heard these things, he would be silent. He glanced around and pointed at Taylor who was digging the soil under the shade of the tree, and spoke in a low voice.

"I will talk to her. Thank you for giving Taylor this opportunity." Camus took off his hat and nodded slightly. He spoke sincerely.

"You don't have to thank me. This is also Taylor's luck. At least the living expenses you give can allow her to get in touch with knowledge. There are no more than ten children with such privileges here. We don't have more money to hire knowledgeable teachers. We can only select some students and let teachers in the city come to class occasionally. Literacy will be her chance to change her fate." Seeing that Camus was very sincere, Taylorli spoke softly. She walked towards the group of children and left Camus here. The children over there had already noticed the two of them. They looked at Camus's decent clothes, and there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes, but the teacher's eyes forced them to sit where they were.

"A gentleman has come. Is he here to adopt a child?"

"He looks like a rich gentleman. His clothes are made of silk, not the inferior ones from the factory."

"He doesn't have a cane, which is a basic configuration for a gentleman."

"If he is here to adopt a child, just choose me. He is a handsome stepfather."

The children discussed everything about Camus in a low voice. Although their words were slight, they still fell into Camus' ears. He suddenly had a strong desire to help these children, but the cold water of reality made him sober up instantly. There were only a few gold coins left in his wallet. If he didn't make money, it would be difficult for him to maintain his own life.

Alas... I can only donate some money to the orphanage when I have money in the future. Sorry, it's not that I don't help you, but your Mr. Raymond Camus has no money either.

While thinking, Camus walked towards Taylor who was digging alone not far away in the eyes of the children. This action immediately disappointed the children, but the teacher's applause attracted their attention back.

"Okay... let's continue playing games."
