I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

After struggling for a long time at the well, Elaina finally washed off the sweat and stains on her body, feeling refreshed and comfortable.

But her long hair, which was soaked with water, seemed particularly heavy, which made Elaina feel very uncomfortable.

Dragging her wet hair, Elaina walked towards the church hall. Sister Weiwei was still sitting on the bench in the dim candlelight.

Holding a worn-out piece of clothing in her hand, she sewed it carefully with needle and thread. The children's clothes were constantly mended by her hands. As for changing new clothes, the orphanage did not have the funds.

Most of the older children gave up their childhood clothes for the younger children to wear. The entire orphanage probably only had four or five sets of clothes of different sizes.

In the worst case, they could only use simple cloth to tie their bodies to cover their shame.

"Elena? Why don't you dry your hair?!"

Noticing Elena's breath, Weiwei subconsciously raised her head and saw the other party walking towards her with wet hair. She immediately showed an anxious look on her face.

She picked up a rag and walked over to hold Elena's hand, took him to sit on the chair, and wiped his silver hair carefully.

"There's no need to be so troublesome. The hair will dry by itself if you leave it like this."

Elena was a little uncomfortable. When he had short hair, he basically didn't like to dry his hair. After all, there was no need at all.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't dry your hair, you will get sick. Elena, your hair is so beautiful, you can't not take good care of it. Do you know that even your sister is jealous of your hair?"

Elena's words seemed to make Weiwei a little angry. She couldn't bear to see him look down on his hair.

Elena had no choice but to sit in the chair and feel the touch of her hair. The fragrance and soft touch beside him made him fantasize.

He shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind. He had more important things to discuss with the other party. Now was not the time to immerse in the warm atmosphere.

"Sister Weiwei, I have something to discuss with you."

"Well, what is it?"

Weiwei answered casually, still wiping Elena's hair in her hands, and after drying it, she gently combed it with an old wooden comb.

I thought I needed to loosen my hair with my fingers, but Elena's hair quality was amazing. The comb slid from head to toe on it unimpeded, and the feel was first-class.

"I... I need money."

After saying this, a strong sense of shame suddenly emerged in his heart. Elena probably never dreamed that he had lived for so many years and was so humble that he needed to ask for money from a girl of this age.

Recalling his past, he rarely took money from women. Most of the time, he took money from employers. He rarely felt that he was getting something for nothing.

But Elena had to take this money. It was the necessary money to go out as an adventurer. If he didn't have enough money to buy basic equipment, it would be extremely dangerous to go out to do commissions.

Without weapons, protective gear, or even emergency items, going out to fight those ferocious monsters would be no different from committing suicide.

But even if there was a reasonable reason, it was still a difficult thing to ask for money. After all, everyone knew the situation in the orphanage.

In order to make the children as full and watered as possible, Sister Weiwei had been frugal enough. She always gave the delicious food to these children. She had never experienced delicious and fun things.

Sister Weiwei's childhood was obviously as miserable as these children, but these hardships and sufferings made her mature beyond her age.

She had already tried so hard, and her "ignorant" child was still asking for money. If a third party saw this, Elaina would probably not be able to help but slap the child in the face.

Elaina's words completely stunned Weiwei. She probably never dreamed that one day she would hear the words of asking for money from this child.

"Elaina, what do you want money for?"

She didn't get angry at the first time. Sister Weiwei was always considerate and would not teach people without knowing the truth.

"Earn... make money..."

Elaina had never felt so guilty before. He couldn't figure out how he started.

Listen to what he said. Does it sound like what a normal person should say?

Not to mention Sister Weiwei, if I heard a child talking to me like this, I would probably think there was something fishy and wrong at the first time.

"Not doing... anything illegal."Elena added subconsciously, but still looked unconfident.

The key is that he didn't dare to tell Weiwei that he was going to be an adventurer. After all, it would make people worry. He had just been taught a lesson by monsters when he went up the mountain some time ago, and now he took the initiative to send him there.

If Elena stood in Weiwei's position, she would probably think that he was going to be crazy, and she would not let him take risks no matter what.

Silence filled the two of them, only the slight movement of combing hair could be heard, and the awkward atmosphere made Elena fidget.

He had already started to think about what to do if he couldn't get the money. To be honest, he didn't expect to get any funds when he first opened his mouth.

The reason why he opened his mouth was just to try his luck, using the trust he had accumulated in the past, and getting a little bit was a little bit.

I don't know how long this lasted, until Weiwei stopped combing her hair, and she looked at Elena with a complicated look, and I don't know what I was thinking in my heart.

After a while, Weiwei stood up from the chair and walked towards her room.

Elena, who was somewhat at a loss, didn't know what to say, and didn't dare to move. She could only sit on the chair and look obedient.

Elena didn't have to wait too long. Weiwei came out holding an old wooden box. It looked quite heavy, but no one knew what was inside.

She sat back next to Elena and stuffed the box into his arms.

"What is this?"

Elena was stunned for a moment, and looked at Weiwei with some doubts, but what he got was a nod from the other party.

After hesitating for a while, Elena opened the wooden box in his arms, and what came into view was a huge number of copper coins, almost filling up the small box.

"There are two gold and fourteen silver coins in it, you can use them."

Feeling Elena's shocked expression, Sister Weiwei gritted her teeth and explained.

Most of the coins in this box are copper coins, and a pile of more than two gold coins is indeed a large number.

Elena blinked dryly, not knowing how to react for a while. Such a large amount of money is also quite large for ordinary people.
