After reading the content in the Pearl of Memory, Alice and Milo were both very confused about Lapis's actions. Lapis, what on earth was she going to do to steal Sophia's skin? This time, not even Milo could

knew.

"Miss Sophia, just rest in this mansion for a while. I will arrange some servants to take care of you. If you need anything, just tell them."

"No, don't worry, Miss Alice."

"You helped us before when you were in the Machinery Empire, so just think of it as my repayment. There's no need to be polite to me."

Sofia couldn't resist Alice, and finally had to accept her kindness. But for Sofia, she had no way to return to the demon world now, and she really needed to find a place to rest temporarily in the human world.

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

"Next, let's change our mood a little. Since we finally returned to the territory and still have some time, um... let's go see her whom we haven't seen for a long time."

"She you are talking about is...?"

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

"I'm somewhat interested, I'll go take a look too."

"Okay, let's go."

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

Alice can also understand. After all, Milo's true appearance is too obvious and can easily cause commotion. It is indeed correct for her to look like a child.

With Alice leading the way, the two of them gradually arrived at a somewhat remote facility in the Northfield territory. After seeing the facility, Alice suddenly made a request to Melo.

"Melo, can you change your original appearance?"

"Yes, yes, but..."

"Don't worry, the place we go to is full of people who won't have any designs on your appearance."

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

After receiving Alice's assurance, Milo once again transformed into her true appearance. After seeing that Milo had changed into her true appearance, Alice nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, in that case let's go."

"..."

Although Melo didn't ask, he first used his magic eyes to observe the facility.

.

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

"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 facility it is?"

Alice heard from Lu that both of Milo's eyes are magic eyes, and her two magic eyes have different abilities. They can see distant scenery, which should be one of the abilities of the magic eyes.

.

Seeing Alice's expression, Milo immediately guessed what Alice was thinking: "Sister Alice, you guessed it right. I did rely on the magic eye to see, but it was not the magic eye.

The abilities of my two magic eyes are far beyond your imagination."

Alice had no doubts about what Milo said. During the recent period, she found that she could already tell which of Milo's words were truth and which were lies.

"Sister Alice, what is your purpose in bringing me to this orphanage?"

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

Milo also entered the orphanage with Alice with some confusion. At the door of the orphanage, there was a man with long beige hair and a simple appearance, but he gave people a very empty feeling.

A girl around 15 years old.

The girl was holding a broom in her hand and was sweeping the fallen leaves at the entrance of the orphanage. After seeing Alice, she suddenly showed an expression of joy. She even put down the broom and rushed over to hug Alice.

Liz.

"Miss Alice!"

"Long time no see, Meryl."

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

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

"Oh, yes."

After a brief hug, Meryl asked about Meryl, who was beside Alice. At this time, Meryl also said hello to Meryl.

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

Alice was surprised that Milo greeted Meryl in a normal way, and Milo also used sound transmission magic to tell Alice.

(This girl’s soul is as pure as sister Alice, so I have a good impression of her and won’t do anything weird.)

(is that so?)

(That's right.)

Hearing Milo's assurance to herself, Alice felt a lot more relieved. She was really worried that Milo would cause trouble here.

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

The time now happened to be lunch time. Although Alice didn't feel particularly hungry yet, it was a good thing to accept Meryl's invitation, so she agreed.

"It's just a pity that the food in the orphanage has not been enough recently, so I can only feel aggrieved."

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

"That's right, but because the Northfield family's finances were a little tight during this period, the aid to the orphanage has also been reduced."

Alice feels a little strange about this. Logically speaking, the family has been promoted to the title of Duke, and there should be no shortage of status or money. How come the finances are a little tight?

"I do know, Sister Alice, because an accident occurred during mining in the Northfield Territory some time ago. As a result, many mining workers were killed in the accident. Your father wanted to appease their families.

So we gave them a lot of pensions."

Alice also had to admire Milo's intelligence gathering ability in her heart. She actually knew this kind of thing that she didn't know yet. However, if she encountered such a situation, it would indeed cost a lot of money.

money.

"Can the orphanage survive now?"

"Although there is still food, I have to reduce some portions every day. For developing children, the portions may not be enough."

"Although we can use White Dragon Coins to withdraw some funds from the treasury, but... um... is there any way?"

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

"This is...a gold coin?"

"Yes, it's my gift."

However, Meryl discovered that the three gold coins that Melo gave her did not seem to be the exclusive gold coins of the Kingdom of Luenlil.

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