Chapter 16 Friends

After reading the contents of the Pearl of Memory, Alice and Melo were very confused about Labis' actions. Labis, what she was going to do to steal Sophia's skin. This time, even Melo didn't know.

"Miss Sophia, let's stay in this mansion for a while. I will arrange some servants to take care of you. Just tell them if you have any needs."

"No, you don't have to bother, Miss Alice."

"You helped us when you were in the Mechanical Empire, so just treat it as my reward. Don't be polite to me."

Sofia couldn't resist Alice, and in the end she could only accept her kindness. However, for Sofia, she had no way to return to the demon world now, and she really needed to find a place in the human world to take a break for a while.

Alice arranged a room for Sophia to let her rest, and the two of them left the room consciously.

"Next, let's change your mood a little. Since I finally returned to the territory, I still have some time. Yes... Let's go and see her who I haven't seen for a long time."

"What you mean by her..."

"It's a friend of mine, Melo, are you interested in going?"

"I'll go and have a look, too."

"Okay, let's go."

Alice and Melo left the mansion together, and after leaving the gate of the mansion, Melo changed from his original appearance to the appearance of a child.

Alice can understand it. After all, Milo's true appearance is too obvious after all, and it is easy to cause commotion. It is indeed correct that she becomes a toddler.

From Alice's Ribbon Road, they gradually came to a remote facility in the Norsfil territory. After seeing that facility, Alice suddenly made a request to Melo.

"Melo, can you become your original appearance?"

"It's OK, but..."

"Don't worry, the place we went to is people who would not have any intention of your appearance."

"Since you promised me in advance, I'm relieved."

After getting Alice's guarantee, Melo became her true appearance again. After seeing that Melo became her true appearance, Alice nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go."

“…”

Although Meilo did not ask, she still used the magic eye to observe the facility first.

"It's an orphanage. I didn't expect that Sister Alice, you would take me to such a place?"

"So you already know that the place I brought you to is an orphanage?"

"My eyes are magic eyes. Isn't it easy to see what kind of facilities are?"

Alice has heard from Lu that both of Meilo's eyes are magic eyes, and her two magic eyes have different abilities. It should be one of the abilities of the magic eyes.

Seeing Alice's expression, Meilu immediately guessed what Alice was thinking: "Sister Alice, you guessed that right. I did rely on the Demon Eye to see it, but that was not the ability of the Demon Eye. The abilities of my two Demon Eyes are far beyond your imagination."

Alice had no doubt about what Melo said. In recent times, she found that she could already hear what Melo said was the truth and what was lies.

"Sister Alice, is there any purpose for you to bring me to this orphanage?"

"Actually, there is no purpose, I just hope to come here with you."

Melo also entered the orphanage with Alice in some confusion. At the entrance of the orphanage, there was a 15-year-old girl with long beige hair and a simple appearance, but she gave people a very quiet feeling.

The girl was holding a broom in her hand and was cleaning the fallen leaves at the entrance of the orphanage. After seeing Alice, she immediately showed an extremely happy expression, and even put down the broom and rushed over and hugged Alice.

"Miss Alice!"

"Long time no see Meryl."

Alice also hugged the girl she called Meryl. Judging from their behavior, we can tell that the relationship between the two is very good.

"That... Miss Alice, are you here today with your friends? She looks like you, and she is so beautiful."

"Yeah, yeah."

After a brief hug, Meryl asked about Melo where Alice was beside her. At this time, Melo also greeted Meryl.

"Your name is Meryl, right? My name is Melo, and I am Alice's friend."

Alice was surprised that Melo greeted Meryl in an ordinary way, and Melo also told Alice with voice transmission magic.

(This girl’s soul is as pure as Sister Alice, so I have a good impression of her and will not do anything strange.)

(is that so?)

(That's right.)

Alice was relieved to hear Melo promised her like this. She was really worried that Melo would cause trouble here.

"Miss Alice, I'm really happy to be here. Do you want to stay here for lunch?"

It's time for lunch now. Although Alice is not very hungry yet, accepting Meryl's invitation is a good thing, so she agreed to Meryl.

"It's just a pity that the ingredients in the orphanage are not enough recently, so I can only feel a little wronged."

"Strange, I remember that this orphanage should have received assistance from the Norsfire family."

"It's right, but because the financial situation of the Nosfell family was a little tight during this period, the assistance to the orphanage was reduced."

Alice felt a little strange about this. Logically speaking, the family has been promoted to the Duke, and there should be no shortage of status and money. How could the finances be a little nervous?

"I know, Sister Alice, because there was an accident in the mining pit in the Norsefiel Territory some time ago, and many mining personnel were killed in accidents. Your father gave them a lot of pensions to appease their family."

Alice also had to admire Meilo's intelligence collection ability. She knew this clearly what she didn't know. However, if she encountered this situation, she would indeed spend a lot of money.

“Can the orphanage be maintained now?”

"Although there is still food, I have to reduce the portions every day. For children in developmental stages, the portions may be a bit insufficient."

"Although you can withdraw some funds from the treasury by relying on the White Dragon Coin,... well... Is there any way?"

At this moment, Melo walked to Meryl and stuffed three gold coins into her hand.

"Is this...gold coins?"

"Yes, it's my gift."

But Meryl discovered that the three gold coins that Melo gave her did not seem to be the special gold coins of the Luenlier Kingdom.

"You seem to have discovered it. Don't worry, this gold coin can still be used, because it is a gold coin that is common in any country."

In fact, this kind of gold coin is the most precious gold coin in the human world, and such a gold coin is worth at least 10 ordinary gold coins.
