Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 124 Review
The bright moonlight poured into Richard's room through the window, lengthening the shadows of a group of maid students, making their shadows blend and entangle with Richard's shadow, indistinguishable from each other.

Richard raised his eyelids and took a look. Several students were already yawning, and their eyelids were visibly opening and closing.

At this point in time, it should be time for them to go to bed.

In fact, Richard was already extremely anxious and wanted to rush back to Saint Laurent Prison immediately to check the results of his sting operation, but as a teacher, he had his own professional ethics.

Either you don't attend class, or once you start, you have to finish your lecture. Even if the bell rings a hundred times and ten teachers are waiting outside the classroom, he must finish his lecture.

“There is a misunderstanding you should be aware of. The essence of high-value magic is scarcity, not rarity.

Rarity is an inherent attribute. As long as there are few spellcasters who master this magic, this magic is rare magic.

But scarcity does not mean value. Only scarcity means value.

What determines whether a mage is scarce is the relationship between supply and demand.

For example, a few years ago, when the entire Silver City-State was undergoing large-scale infrastructure construction, mages who mastered many construction-related magics were scarce.

They are needed everywhere, everyone is scrambling for them, and they can easily get high incomes.

But now, the Silver City-State has stopped large-scale infrastructure construction and no longer needs so many such mages. Naturally, they are no longer scarce, and their income has dropped significantly.

Although those architecture-related magics are slightly more difficult to learn than normal magic, they are actually not rare at all.

But because there are many people who need construction magic, wizards who can use it are scarce.

In the process of them going from being scarce to being less scarce, the magic they mastered actually did not change, only the environment changed. So they were naturally eliminated by the Silver City-State and became less and less valuable.

The rest of the content is a bit long, so I will not expand on it one by one. You can read the theory of magic value in "Basic Magic Theory" and study it on your own.

This is a compulsory exam for all elementary school students entering junior high school. If you want to become a formal magician like Red Tea and Green Tea, you must have a solid foundation in Basic Magic Theory.

Next time I teach, I will give you a test. Those who fail the test will have to stand and listen in class until they pass the make-up test. "

"Okay, teacher." "I understand, teacher."

After hearing Richard's words, his students were not afraid at all, but were full of fighting spirit. For them who came from miserable backgrounds, the opportunity to learn magic was extremely rare, so their attitude was extremely positive.

Of course, among them, there are one or two students with good talents like Red Tea and Green Tea, but most of the students’ qualifications are mediocre or even slightly worse.

But even the students with poor talents still tried their best to learn magic. When facing a teacher like me who was willing to teach them magic, they were also very grateful. They often gave me some small gifts like embroidery and textiles, which made Richard quite happy.

As they were about to part, Richard touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Yes. Although learning magic requires their own efforts, they still need a guide who stays with them for a long time. Otherwise, they will not be able to get timely answers to any problems they encounter during the learning process.

I'm still too busy to take care of them for a long time. It's not appropriate to take them to Saint Laurent Prison now. I need to find an assistant teacher for them...

But if I just find a random wizard to be their assistant, I'm afraid that my unorthodox magical theories will arouse the wizard's vigilance.

I still have to find someone I can trust unconditionally. Who should I find?"

Richard blinked, and a candidate suddenly popped up in his mind.

Orr Diana.

“Although Diana was admitted to the Golden Glory Mage Academy through orthodox magic education, she especially likes to ask me questions because she admires me and is deeply influenced by my thoughts.

She believed in my theories of magic as firmly as these other children.

She should be graduating by the end of this year. With her grades, she should be able to easily get a teaching assistant position at the Mage Academy, or even become a magic researcher like me.

If I can provide her with the same or even better treatment as the Jinhui Mage Academy, including salary, research conditions, etc., she should be willing to follow me.

It would be perfect for her to be an assistant teacher for a while, but I don't know if she would be willing to do so. Before returning to prison, ask for her opinion."

Richard nodded secretly, called Red Tea and Green Tea, and asked them to take him out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing Richard being escorted out the door by two maids, the black-robed mages on guard gave Richard a very strange expression.

As soon as Richard left, they started discussing.

"Hiss! Did you see that? The two maids were holding Richard's hands, with their breasts pressed against him. Richard had no place to hide."

"I see, I see. Tsk tsk, Mr. Richard is really brave. He has the guts to mess with the maids in the castle even though he is a big sister."

"Look at what you said. Who would dare to provoke the big sister if they are not brave enough? More people have died at the hands of the big sister than those who have pursued her.

If nothing else, I respect Richard for being a real man because he dared to confess his love to the big sister in the newspaper. "

"Don't be a man, everyone, help Richard keep it a secret. If the big sister asks us later, we must keep our mouths shut. Otherwise, he will no longer be a man, but a corpse tomorrow. This bowl of soft rice is exchanged for a lifetime of spellcasting talent, and he deserves this fate."

"Now that the eldest sister is married, she won't be angry at us. Sacrifice my brother-in-law for the happiness of our whole family. Thank you, brother-in-law, and may the truth shine upon him. Li Men!"

"Li Men!"

Richard didn't know that the huge group of Star and Moon Society wizards behind him had reached a consensus and planned to sacrifice him as a young boy and girl to the evil dragon to appease its wrath.

He had just arrived at the Golden Mage Academy and met Diana.

"Teacher Chad! You're finally here! I'm so glad you're okay."

Richard had just knocked on Niu Xiaoxiao's door and was hugged by Diana before he could even take off his shoes.

Diana buried her head in his arms, trembling with excitement.

"What's going on?" Richard patted Diana's shoulder with a surprised expression.

But Diana was so excited that she just sobbed quietly and did not answer Richard's question. Fortunately, although Xiao Xiao was also very excited, she was still able to stay awake. She explained to Richard:

"Teacher Richard, you didn't show up at the awarding ceremony that night, and the Red Moon incident happened again.

After we came back from the shelter, we heard a lot of rumors. Some mages said that you didn't attend the investiture ceremony because you were killed by monsters on the way.

They swore that the Silver Cross was the highest honor and that if you were not dead you would not have been able to not attend."

"Ah, this... is a rumor that was beyond my expectations but seems quite reasonable."

Richard was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "Chad, Chad, I can't find you. I want to find you, but I don't know where to find you, and I don't have your conch.

I went to the police station and the city lord's mansion many times, trying to get information about you, but they were too busy, and I was just a student, so they looked down on me and kept giving me perfunctory replies.

I was so worried that I couldn't sleep, and there was nothing I could do but wait for you at home. I was really scared. Fortunately, you are okay. "

Diana, whose emotions had finally eased a little, buried her head in Richard's clothes and made a muffled sound.

Richard sensed her uneasiness and grievance, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "Diana, don't worry, teacher, nothing is wrong with me."

"Woo woo." Diana hugged Richard tighter when she heard that Richard was safe.

Richard smiled bitterly repeatedly. The force that made him feel a little breathless was the heavy longing and attachment of a young girl.

It is the most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. Richard is still soft-hearted and cannot bear to see a girl cry.

"How about this, I'll take you to where I live now so you can get familiar with the way. If you can't contact me in the future and want to find me, go there and wait for me.

But you have to be prepared, it's a forbidden magic area, you might feel uncomfortable staying there."

"Really? That's great, teacher! I'm not afraid of the forbidden magic zone." Diana raised her head excitedly, her eyes lit up. "Let's go now. Xiaoxiao can go back to her room and sleep by herself."

"Ah?" Niu Xiaoxiao, who was originally very moved, turned her head to look at Diana, her eyes were confused.

Richard had wanted to talk to Diana about the teaching assistant, but now was obviously not the time.

He looked at Diana's expectant eyes, and could only sigh helplessly in his heart, and said, "Okay. Then go back to your room and change your pajamas first.

You little guy, you dare to hold me up even though I am so soft, you are really brave. "

"Ouch! I, I, I, I, I...I'm going to change my clothes!"

Diana then realized what she had just done. She subconsciously hugged her chest, lowered her head and ran back, and grabbed Niu Xiaoxiao, who was also wearing pajamas.

Richard smiled bitterly and sighed. How many advantages would he be taken advantage of this night? You may not believe it, but they really bumped into him.

Richard refused in terms of his physical will.

Richard did not enter Niu Xiaoxiao's house, but stood at the door of Xiaoxiao's house waiting.

But when Richard turned around, he happened to see Xingge standing behind him with his hands on his chest, looking at him with a smile.

Hmm!! Why is Xingge here? Is she following me?

Richard was startled and his hair stood on end.

Fortunately, he had a strong psychological quality and suppressed his anxiety. He smiled and waved at Xingge, greeting him:

"Good evening, City Lord Xingge. What a coincidence that I meet you here."

"Huh, what a coincidence." Xingge said with a wry smile, "If I hadn't happened to be here, I wouldn't have seen you coming here in the middle of the night to have a tryst with a female student.

Tsk. I'm glad my impression of you has changed a little. You relied on your powerful position as a teacher to attack your own students. You have lost your morals and are a beast in human clothing."

"How can this be a tryst? You misunderstood."

Although Xingge said this, Richard keenly noticed from her micro-expressions that she was not really angry, but was joking.

So he spread his hands in grievance and said:

"I just happened to have finished my work and came to make sure that my students and my colleague, the orphan girl, were safe. When the red moon appeared, the Travel City suffered a lot of disasters. They were worried about me, and I was also worried about them."

"Humph. You're the only one who has a lot of excuses." Xingge glared at Richard and softened her tone: "Do you dare to say that you really came to see Niu Xiaoxiao, and not to see your female students?"

"Of course... everyone is watching! Xiaoxiao and Diana are close friends, there is nothing to hide." Richard smiled and said, "A person with a clear conscience fears no slander. Normal teachers and students are all as open and honest as me."

Richard's answer made Xingge very satisfied.

She nodded and said, "You're fine. You look so nervous. Don't worry, I didn't follow you secretly to catch you cheating. I just happened to be here."

Do you remember the old Peter from the Peter family that I told you about? He is the vice president of your Jinhui Mage Academy, and you must know him.

He still has some followers in your Mage Academy that have not been eliminated.

I brought people from the Star-Moon Society to the Mage Academy to find those gang members. Dean Hank is assisting us.

I came here because of a cleaner named Oviria Dell. We found out that she had contact with the dark elves. But she committed suicide, so the clues were cut off.

Among the people associated with Olivia Dell is Niu Xiaoxiao.

I came here to take Niu Xiaoxiao away. She is too young, a girl, and related to you. I am worried about handing her over to other members of the Xingyue Society for interrogation.

You know, they often don’t take things very seriously.”

Richard never dreamed that Xingge would say such a thing. He stayed there for a moment, and couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had always been on guard against Olivia and had Diana keep an eye on her.

The woman who helped the organization behind Professor Capa and handed the secret recipe to Oxford was indeed not that simple.

Richard said immediately:
“Okay! I believe Niu Xiaoxiao is innocent, but as Xiaoxiao’s temporary guardian, I support you in conducting any legitimate and reasonable investigation on her.

Only through your investigation can Xiaoxiao clear herself of suspicion."

Xingge smiled slightly: "Not only Xiaoxiao, your female student Diana also had contact with Olivia Dell."

Richard remained calm:
"She is the same. All citizens of the City of Travel have the obligation to abide by the law. I have also been in contact with Oviria Dell. If you doubt me, I will cooperate."

"You don't have to. Humph, I would rather believe that you are a scum who cheats everywhere than to believe that you will assist the dark elves in assassinating Dean Hank."

Xingge's eyes turned, and suddenly he asked an extremely tricky question:
"Richard, you are a girl from the club and a female student, so you have a lot of experience.

You haven't even taken care of all these flowers and plants, and you dare to confess to me?"

"Well..." Richard hesitated: "This is the first time I truly fall in love with someone. I'm worried that I don't have experience when it comes to loving you, so... I've had a few rehearsals."
