Primordial Sequence

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 stared at the candle in a daze, or even talked 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 of them walked from the dean's office upstairs to the second floor, which was where Kamius was curious just now. He turned his head slightly and found that the curtains flying not far away were a bit strange. The curtains were flying diagonally in the air, but they didn't move. Instead of rolling, he flew stiffly diagonally, as if someone was pulling the curtains to prevent him from moving.

"Mr. Camus, it's afternoon now, and those children are playing on the lawn behind the building." Just when Camus was about to observe carefully with his True Eyes, Teleli's gentle voice interrupted his actions, and he immediately retracted He followed Teleli with his eyes.

The 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 of the trees, hundreds of children were sitting in a circle on the ground. A blond girl was running around the children holding a gauze scarf. She suddenly dropped the gauze scarf behind a boy and ran back. He took his position, but the boy hadn't reacted yet.

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

"What a fool."

"These are children who have lost their parents in Keledi City. Most of their parents are real civilians. They are sent here by either the police department, the Adventurer's Guild and the Church of the Sun. Of course, there are also people like you who send them here personally. Come." Seeing Camus looking at the group of children, Teleli, standing next to her, described the origins of these children.

"Most of them are humans, and there are very few alien races." After hearing his description, Camus glanced around and found that most of the children were humans, and there were very few alien races. He was suddenly surprised and said.

"The space in the orphanage is limited, and the funds provided by the church and the city government are only enough to support hundreds of children, so these orphans are high-quality orphans, and they will be qualified children." Taylor said softly, Several teachers not far away also stood up immediately when they saw her, and she gently waved her hands to the children.

"There are tens of thousands of orphans in Caddick City now, and most of them live on the lower streets. They have learned to steal, rob, and use dirty language in that complex environment. They are just a group of people who lack time and will become qualified gangsters. They will lead these children into mischief, which is why I don't accept low-class street orphans." Seeing Kamius lowering his head in thought, Teleli revealed the reason why the orphanage did not accept low-class street orphans.

"There may be more orphans. Judging from this, they are lucky." After hearing these descriptions, Camus suddenly fell silent. The riots some time ago caused more children to lose their parents. What should those children do?

And under any cruel conditions, children from lower-class streets will be forced to learn these skills, because their parents cannot even make enough money to support the growth of these children. If they want to live, they must be like other children. Also trying to get more food.

"Sigh... 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, Taylor understood his feelings. A kind person would be silent when hearing these things. He glanced around and pointed at Taylor, who was digging in the soil under the shade of a 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, and he spoke sincerely.

"You don't need to thank me. This is also Taylor's luck. At least the living allowance you gave her can allow her to have access to knowledge. There are no more than ten children with such privileges. We don't have more money to hire teachers with knowledge. We can only Select some students and let teachers from the city come to teach occasionally. Literacy will be an opportunity for her to change her destiny." Seeing that Camus was very sincere, Telly spoke softly. She walked towards the group of children and placed Camus here and there. The children had noticed the two of them a long time ago. They looked at Camio's decent clothes, and their eyes showed the light of hope, but the teacher's eyes forced them to sit where they were.

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

"He looks like a wealthy gentleman. The clothes are made of silk, not inferior goods from a factory."

"He doesn't have a cane, which is the basic equipment of a gentleman."

"If he is here to adopt a child, just choose me. This 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 wake up instantly. There are only a few gold coins left in his wallet. If he doesn't make money, it will be difficult for him to maintain his own life.

Sigh... I can only donate part of the money to the orphanage when I have money in the future. I'm sorry, it's not that I won't help you, but your Mr. Relimon Camio doesn't have the money either.

As his mind was spinning, 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 clap of hands attracted their attention again.

"Okay... let's continue playing the game."
