Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 48 Hank's Entrustment (Second Update)

[Construct Lapis Lazuli Gargoyle] Verdant.

One of the most powerful gargoyles in Saint Laurent Prison, his strength is roughly equivalent to that of a five-ring wizard, and two rings higher than Richard before he lost his magic power.

The gap between these two rings is like a natural chasm.

In normal combat, Qingcui can easily single-handedly defeat a legion of 25 Richards.

If it is a repeated 1V1 round-robin battle, one Qingcui can easily beat 100 Richards.

Just by sitting on Qingcui's back, Richard felt full of security.

The huge [Constructed Lapis Lazuli Gargoyle] descended from the sky, immediately causing exclamations from the medical staff and patients in the hospital.

Fortunately, Qing Cui did not land on the hospital square, but tilted its body and quickly landed on the roof of the hospital, which did not cause too much commotion.

As soon as Richard slid down from the green, he was surrounded by several nervous black-robed mages. Fortunately, they saw the purple robe on Richard and did not choose to attack him immediately. Instead, they asked:
"Dome Mage's clothes, who are you? Who allowed you to land here riding a giant gargoyle?
We have not received your landing permission. Please leave immediately, this is our Xingyuehui's temporary control area."

“I’m Richard, the candidate for the Silver Cross Medal, the warden of Saint Laurent Prison of the Dome Mage Corps, a senior researcher at the Magic Academy, and the savior of the Lord of Star Song.

I asked to see Dean Hank's attending physician, Princeton, and to learn about Dean Hank's condition. "

In order to strengthen the persuasiveness of his words, Richard brought out all the titles he could think of, and almost blurted out titles such as citizen of a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and a gold medal customer of the World Trade Organization.

"So he is Richard!"

"That's the big sister he rescued."

"Well, this pretty boy is indeed good-looking. I agree."

"Why call me little white face? You can't speak. You should call me brother-in-law."

The black-robed mages were quite surprised. They whispered to each other for a while, and then sent a representative to say to Richard:
"Sister, hey! Richard, please wait here for a moment. Let's go ask our superiors for instructions."

"it is good!"

Richard responded and began to wait nervously. Fortunately, he didn't feel anxious for long. A familiar figure came down to the roof surrounded by a group of black-robed wizards.

"Lord Xingge. Long time no see, I missed you so much." Richard's eyes lit up and he immediately tried to get close to him.

"Richard, you have some conscience for coming here regardless of the consequences.

Dean Hank thinks highly of you. When you were investigated before, he even asked my teacher to protect you. You can be considered a junior that he thinks highly of.

pity……"

Xingge looked at Richard with a complicated expression, shook her head, turned around and said to him:
"Whether it's the last journey or not, you're with him. It's better than you not being there.

Come with me, I'll take you to the intensive care unit."

After hearing what Xingge said, Richard became even more anxious.

"Lord City Lord, what is Dean Hank's current condition? Is he in danger?"

"You'll know if you take a look yourself." Xingge walked forward without looking back, and Richard hurriedly followed. The black-robed wizard behind Xingge consciously made way for Richard to catch up with Xingge and walk side by side with her.

Richard walked beside Xingge and said in a low voice, "Lord Xingge, thank you for sending Donald to inform me of the news that Dean Hank was injured. I will remember this favor."

"Why should you thank me? He went there by himself. What does it have to do with me?" Xing Ge remained calm.

Richard lowered his voice and said, "The steam locomotive that can travel in the forbidden magic zone is a very rare old model. There are only three in the entire Travel City. If you want to use the steam locomotive, you must get your permission."

Richard hadn't said a word yet. If Donald wanted to use the steam locomotive, he needed Xingge's permission. If Macedonia wanted to use the steam locomotive, he also needed Xingge's permission.

Xingge must have agreed that Macedonia could come to see him last night.

"Hmph, you're just being clever. I don't have time to deal with these little things. I've already handed over the right to use the steam locomotive to my subordinates. If you want to thank someone, go thank them."

Xingge said this, but her pace quickened involuntarily.

The two of them walked in silence all the way and soon arrived at the intensive care unit.

"Open the door." Xingge gave the order. The black-robed wizard at the door immediately opened the door a crack. After Xingge and Richard entered, the door of the intensive care unit was quickly closed again and a layer of magic protection was added.

The defense of the intensive care unit is even tighter than Richard had imagined. In addition to the guards and protective array at the door, there is also a purple magic protective shield inside the intensive care unit that isolates the inside and the outside.

Because of the existence of the magic shield, Richard couldn't see what was going on inside the magic shield at all.

Xingge turned to look at Richard and said:

"If he hadn't assured me that you were trustworthy and begged me to let you in, I would never have let you in.

When you get out later, you must remember to keep your mouth shut."

Richard was stunned for a moment when he heard Xingge's words. Before he could react, Xingge took his hand and brought him into the anti-magic shield.

"Haha. Xiao Li, I'm so happy that you came to see me." In the intensive care unit, Dean Hank was wearing a hospital gown and half lying on the bed. He was full of energy and greeted Richard with a smile. He didn't look like he was seriously injured or dying.

Richard felt relieved when he saw this. He was surprised and happy and asked, "Dean, I'm so glad to see that you are safe and sound.

The news that you were poisoned by the soul and seriously injured and on the verge of death was deliberately spread by you?"

"No, that's the real news." At this moment, Princeton, who was standing next to the bed, proudly replied: That's called Soul Withering Toxin, a vicious poison often used in the Broken Staff era, specifically used to assassinate legends, with a mortality rate of up to 99%.

It is true news that Dean Hank has been poisoned by the soul-withering poison and is seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Fake news is that I can’t cure it.

The almost certain fatality rate was a thing of the era of broken sticks.

Over the years, our family has been studying the soul from generation to generation, and has long since figured out a way to crack the soul withering potion.

Now, the only thing left of the Holy See's crown of souls that we cannot break is the shackles of the stigmata.

I have always felt that the reason our family has not been able to successfully break through the shackles of the stigmata is that there are too few cases for us to study, not that we are incapable.

Mr. Richard, I wonder if you are willing to sacrifice yourself a little for the great interests of the entire Silver City-State...

"Enough of that, Princeton. Put some stop to your research frenzy."

Xingge coldly stopped Princeton from going crazy.

She looked at Richard and said, "Originally, only three people knew about Dean Hank's recovery, me, Dean Hank himself, and Princeton, and now you are one of them.

Dean Hank was poisoned by the soul-blighting potion, but he also left the legendary stalker who presided over the assassination with an incurable elemental wound.

We have released the news that Dean Hank is still recovering from his injuries.

As long as the other party has no way to resolve the elemental wound, they will definitely try to propose a deal to us, offering us the solution to the soul withering potion in exchange for the solution to the elemental wound.

And then, we can expand our victory and even wipe them out in one fell swoop.

The Underdark is a group of sacworms lurking in the shadows.
Since they dare to act as poisonous insects of the Holy See, they should be prepared to have their nest of insects crushed by us."

Awesome! Domineering! Richard secretly gave a thumbs up.

At this moment, Dean Hank's expression became serious. He looked at Richard and said earnestly, "Little Li, I called you here to ask you a favor. I was lucky to survive, but Oxford, who blocked the sword for me, was really sacrificed.

Oxford is a good boy. Although his talent in studying magic is not as good as yours, and he doesn't have as many good ideas as you, he is honest and hardworking, and I can see it all.

I took him to the memorial service, and he died after blocking a sword for me. The one who killed him was that damned dark elf rogue.

If I can't help him get revenge, I won't be able to swallow this anger."

"Teacher, Oxford is also my good friend. As long as you give me an order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Hey. Helping him get revenge is my job. You are weak, so don't interfere. But I do have a favor that I would like to ask of you.

I would like you to help me look after my family in Oxford.”

Richard walked to the bedside of Dean Hank, held Dean Hank's hand, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Dean, I will do my best. I will definitely not let Oxford's family suffer any injustice."

"Don't rush to agree. The care I'm talking about may not be what you imagine." Dean Hank said seriously, "Oxford's parents passed away a long time ago.

His wife also left him due to some reasons. His only living relative is a daughter who is currently studying in a magic junior high school.

Because her father had passed away, the poor little girl had asked for leave and went home, feeling extremely sad.

I would like to ask you to stay at Oxford's house for a while, to comfort his daughter and help her cheer up.

When my affairs are finished, I will take the little girl home as my own granddaughter.

do you think it's OK? "

this……

If it were before, Richard would have agreed immediately.

but……

"If they want to counterattack, they will most likely attack you. After all, your Silver Cross has not been officially issued yet. You must be careful in the near future. If you really can't help it, just wait here until the Silver Cross is issued or the storm has passed."

Macedonia's advice was still fresh in his mind, and Richard was in a difficult position.

After thinking it over, Richard finally decided to refuse. It was not because he thought it was troublesome to take care of the little girl. But he was in danger. If the people who came to avenge him killed Oxford's daughter, even if he died, he would feel sorry for Oxford in his grave.

I went to look after my daughter in Oxford, and that was not a help, but a hindrance.
