Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 54 The Secret in the Recipe (Second Update)

"You don't have to worry about your little future life."

Richard answered softly, looking at Olivia Dell with a deep gaze:
“Dean Hank is a man who is grateful for the help he has received. Oxford saved the dean’s life.

I bet if Dean Hank had survived, he would have adopted Tiny as his granddaughter.

If Dean Hank can't wake up, there are still Diana and I. We will protect Xiao Xiao well and won't let Xiao Xiao be bullied. "

"This, this, this, how can this be?" Olivia Dell's expression was a little flustered and a little timid, but she still mustered up the courage to say:
“Teacher Richard, you and Diana are just colleagues and students of the Oxford teacher after all.

You take care of Xiaoxiao only because it is the task assigned to you by the academy.

You are still very enthusiastic about this task now, but when there are more things to do in the future, you may get tired of it. At that time, Xiaoxiao will be very pitiful.

Even if you won't get tired of each other, you are still young and will eventually get married. When you have your own family and children, how much energy can you devote to Xiao Xiao?"

Richard raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "So what do you mean?"

Dell said firmly:
"I will take care of Xiao Xiao. I promised Oxford that if I married him, I would treat Xiao Xiao as my own daughter. Although Oxford is gone now, Xiao Xiao is still here. I will fulfill my promise and take responsibility for taking care of Xiao Xiao and take good care of her for the rest of her life."

Richard flatly refused:
“I’m sorry, this is not my decision, and I can’t decide.

What happened between you and Oxford is only known to you and Oxford. There is no evidence to prove it, so what you say cannot be the final word.

It's good that you have the idea of ​​taking care of the little ones.

I will convey your thoughts to Xiaoxiao. But whether or not to accept you depends on Xiaoxiao's opinion."

"This...how can this be?" Mrs. Dale covered her face with her hands, her voice sad.

Richard thought about it, sighed, shook his head, and continued:

"Yes, neither Diana nor I can be responsible for Xiao Xiao's whole life. But that doesn't mean you can take on the responsibility for Xiao Xiao's whole life.

Mrs. Dale, as you said, a little girl's life is very long. It is a very heavy responsibility to take care of her for a lifetime. Both ability and determination are indispensable.

After all, you have no blood relationship with your Oxford teacher, so there is no need to put such a heavy burden on yourself.

It is the funeral of an Oxford teacher. You may be overwhelmed by the sadness of the funeral. The decision you make at this time may not be the right one. Think about it carefully when you calm down. "

"Okay, okay, I get it."

After hearing Richard's words, Dale collapsed on the ground. Her body softened and gradually spread out, as if the strength in her bones had been drained away. Because of the rain, her hair was wet and stuck together in circles, like seaweed that had just been fished out of the sea.

Oh, the sufferings of the world. But I must be ruthless and not hand Xiao Xiao over to her at this moment.

Richard sighed in his heart.

In the drizzle, he held an umbrella and watched the funeral of his Oxford teacher with Mrs. Dale.

Gradually, Diana came over and stood beside Richard with an umbrella. Then Niu Xiaoxiao also ran over and stood beside Richard.

There was constant mourning at the funeral. The other colleagues of the Oxford teacher and Richard were clearly divided into two groups. It rained for a long time.

The rain stopped only after the Oxford teacher's coffin was buried and covered with soil, and several shovels banged on the Oxford teacher's grave until it was flat.

So, the Oxford teacher's body and his countless stories were buried in the grave.

Richard couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Because of the assassin, Mr. Capa's funeral was not held in full. After the assassination, his coffin was buried hastily, which resulted in Richard not seeing the burial of Mr. Capa.

Because of his status, he was not even qualified to send a flower to teacher Kappa in front of his tombstone.

This made Richard extremely unhappy.

No matter who those assassins belong to, the hatred between me and them must be added to this. They have ruined Mr. Kappa's funeral, so they must kowtow to Mr. Kappa and apologize.

With the help of Richard, Xiao Xiao thanked the guests one by one, and the funeral was truly over.

Richard carried the tired and asleep Niu Xiaoxiao on his back, Diana held the box of their Oxford teacher's belongings that was returned to them by the Star and Crescent Society, and Olivia Dell held two umbrellas.

The unrelated family of four walked exhausted back to their teacher's home in Oxford.

Richard knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the recipe he had been looking for was in the relic box. Now that he was home, he could just reach out and take the box to check. He was not only a good colleague of the Oxford teacher, but also the little temporary guardian. It was normal for him to check the Oxford teacher's relics, and no one would suspect it.

But he was still not in a hurry, he was still waiting.

He waited until Dell left, looking back every few steps, and until Diana and Xiaoxiao fell asleep, then he came to the living room, took out all the things in the box, and placed them on the table one by one. Then he checked them one by one without haste.

In fact, the first thing he checked was not the menu, but a pair of men's underwear with strawberries and hearts painted on it.

Three minutes later, Richard put down a men's belt inlaid with fake gold and finally picked up the recipe as if nothing had happened.

"Teacher Chad! So you're here!"

Just as Richard was about to open the recipe, he suddenly heard a shout in front of him, which frightened him so much that his heart skipped a beat.

He looked up and saw Diana, wearing a gauze nightgown, standing at the door of the living room, holding a furry griffin doll and looking at him curiously.

"Teacher Chad, why don't you take a break?"

"Oh, something's up. How about you?" Richard took the initiative and asked, "Weren't you asleep just now? Why are you in the living room?"

"Oh, I just got up to go to the bathroom, and when I went back to my room, I accidentally went to the wrong room and ran to your room, but I found that you were not in bed, so I looked for you everywhere and found you here.

Hehe." Diana stuck out her tongue playfully.

Richard: ...

Hey hey, you head, hey hey.

"You are quite good at getting lost. You even got lost in my bed."

"Hey, I'm confused because of my sleep."

"I've convinced you."

Richard smiled bitterly, shook his head, and regained his composure. He said softly, "I am checking the remains of my Oxford teacher.

Some of the things here can be kept as a souvenir for Xiaoxiao, while some things need to be put away to prevent Xiaoxiao from playing with them.

For example, this frost bottle used for teaching purposes can release thunderous ice, which is very dangerous.

If Xiaoxiao were to play with it, she might accidentally hurt her hand."

"Is that so? The teacher is really attentive!" Diana trotted over and sat next to Richard. She leaned her head on Richard's right arm and said with a smile, "Then I will study with the teacher."

"Okay. I just happened to see the recipe. We can study together what dishes the Oxford teacher would cook when he was alive. Then make them for Xiaoshou."

"Okay, okay." Diana nodded happily in agreement.

She only wanted to accompany Richard. As for what to do with Richard, she didn't care. Anything was fine.

Richard smiled and opened the recipe.

When the menu was opened and the snow-salted white cake on the first page came into Richard's eyes, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Snow salt baked white cake! I can also make this dish. It's a sweet dessert! Xiaoxiao will definitely like it."

"Yes."

In response to Diana's words, Richard had some difficulty responding because he had to try his best to control his vocal cords from trembling.

The moment Richard saw the snow salt baked white cake, he was certain that this recipe was a secret code given to him by the organization.

First of all, this recipe book is not a handwritten recipe, but a common printed recipe on the market. Generally, the order of dishes in this kind of printed recipe is appetizer, soup, main course, and dessert.

After introducing the pictures and methods of four or five appetizers, three or four soups were introduced, followed by three or four main dishes, and finally desserts. The snow-salted white cake is a dessert and should have appeared at the end of the recipe.

This shows that this recipe was most likely specially made by someone and is in a random order.

Richard took a deep breath and began to flip through the pages slowly.

Snow salt baked white cake, fried potatoes, red fish stuffed with red wine...

White, yellow, red...

The colors of each dish appeared in Richard's mind, were converted and translated in Richard's mind, and finally formed the title of a book!
"Somla Travels"! This is a record of the world of Yasha left by a powerful lamp god.

"Ah, Mr. Chad, sesame oil banana! I'm also good at this dessert. Can I make it for you next time?"

"Okay, okay."

Sesame oil banana, yellow.

Richard didn't quite hear Diana's excited chirping, he just echoed her subconsciously.

He used all his thoughts to memorize the colors of the dishes and searched for the coded words corresponding to the colors in his mind.

"Somla Travels" is a book that Richard likes very much. Richard can even recite all the contents of the book and reproduce it in his mind.

This book is also the one he and his teacher use most often in encrypted signals.

Blue, yellow, red, red, black, purple...

Page 7, line 8, word 3: Supervisor;

The fifth word on the sixth line on page 3: prison.

"Ah, I like this dish too. But I'm not very good at making barbecued meat. Can you teach me next time, Mr. Chad?"

"Okay, okay."

"Then I want you, Mr. Chad, to feed me, just like last time, hehe."

"Okay, hello, you can eat anything."
"Hehehe, that's a deal."

"Yeah."
"Teacher, I like you the most!"

"Yeah, okay."
"Well! Teacher, you didn't refuse!"

"Ah? What do you want to refuse?"
"No, nothing, hehe, hehe."

"……"expensive.

After flipping through a cookbook, Richard pieced together a short but hard-earned sentence in his mind.

Prison is more valuable than magic!

Richard's heart was beating violently.

Saint Laurent Prison, is it more valuable than restoring my spellcasting ability?!

Sure enough, there is a big secret in Saint Laurent Prison!
It seems that no matter which one I choose, the Warriors' Tomb or Saint Laurent Prison, I will eventually be led to Saint Laurent Prison.

Richard's heart was pounding and he was so excited that the thoughts in his head were about to explode.

But he suppressed all his emotions, put down the recipe as if he had not discovered anything, and continued to check other items in Oxford with Diana.

When he had finished checking all the Oxford stuff, he silently divided the items into two parts.

"The ones on this side are more dangerous, put them away. The ones on this side can be left behind."

"Okay." Diana smiled happily, and together with Richard, she divided Oxford's relics into two parts and sealed them.

Seeing that the task was completed, Richard was about to put everything away.

But at this moment, Diana suddenly took out the cookbook and used it to cover her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Richard was startled. He asked doubtfully:
"Diana, what are you doing?"

"Teacher Chad." Diana asked Richard with a gloomy look, "Have you studied this clearly?"

Um? What's the meaning?
Has any research clarified this?

Diana is a member of the Star-Moon Society? Where did I reveal my flaws?

Richard's heart suddenly shrank, his head buzzed and exploded, and he almost couldn't control his expression.

He tried hard to suppress his emotions and asked carefully:

"Diana, what do you mean? The teacher didn't understand."

"That's right, that's right. Teacher, if you haven't figured it out yet, let's take this recipe back to the room and study it together. We can lie in bed and study it carefully and slowly."

Diana scrolled down the menu, her cheeks slightly flushed as she looked at Richard, her eyes shining like water.

Richard: ...

Richard: ...

Richard: ...

Richard took a long time to recover.

Damn, you almost scared me to death.

Richard opened his mouth slightly and took two deep breaths. He snatched the recipe from Diana's hand and slammed it on Diana's forehead.

"No, don't try to find an excuse to come into my room. Go back and sleep with Xiao Xiao."

"Woo woo, if you can't, then you can't. Why are you so fierce? Teacher Chad is annoying."

“If a teacher and a student have an impure relationship, I will be expelled from the magic academy.

You kid, your head is full of evil ideas.

I really can't be careless when I'm with you."

"I just wanted to lie down and study the recipe together, I didn't want anything to happen.

Could it be that Mr. Chad, you have the idea of ​​having nothing to do with me?
Oh~ Teacher Chad is so bitter! "

"I'll beat you up if you say that again, go back now!" Richard threatened, holding up the recipe.

Some people were still being naughty, while others had already lost their temper and were about to throw punches.

"Well, I thought the atmosphere was very good tonight. Teacher Chad is really too much. Lululu!" Diana stuck out her tongue at Richard, covered her head and ran away.

Only when Diana disappeared at the stairs did Richard breathe a sigh of relief and put down the recipe.

It was so exciting. Richard even felt his heart stop beating.

He glanced at the recipe with complicated eyes and stuffed it back into the inheritance box in Oxford.

Then Richard touched his chest and found a bottle of hard object in his inner chest pocket - it was one of the sleeping pills that Oxford had placed at the bedside.

This medicine, used by Oxford to treat insomnia, was stolen by Richard.

This bottle of medicine gave Richard some peace of mind. He took a deep breath and went upstairs to sleep.
