Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 125 Dean Hank's Research Project

"There were several rehearsals to love me better..."

Xingge savored Richard's words, feeling both angry and amused.

She shook her head and said with a smile, "You are really good at talking, no wonder you can be a teacher. Even though it is such a shameless thing to say, it makes people unable to get angry easily."

Not only am I good at talking, my tongue is even better, but it's a pity you can't taste it. Richard silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

"Forget it. Anyway, there is no possibility between us, and your past has nothing to do with me."

Xingge shook his head, walked to Richard, and said to him:

"Since you are here, I will give you a favor. I will not take your students and Niu Xiaoxiao away. I will ask them about their lives at their home. Please wait outside for a while."

"That's great." Richard smiled. "After all, the two people in the room are still children. They are really not suitable for going to a heavy place like the torture room."

crunch...

At this moment, the door of Niu Xiaoxiao's villa opened again, and Diana, who had changed into a soft dress, opened the door with a smile.

"Teacher, I'm ready. Let's go...ah, City Lord Xingge?" The moment she saw Xingge, Diana's pupils shrank and her brain froze.

"Shh. Keep your voice down." Richard put his index finger on his lips and made a quiet gesture.

“Xingge City Lord wants to ask you and Xiaoxiao some questions, just answer them truthfully.

Don't worry, it's just a little problem. It will be gone soon. "

Hearing Richard's words, Diana responded subconsciously: "Ah...Okay, teacher."

Although she said so, Diana was still somewhat at a loss. In Diana's eyes, the Lord of Xingge City was a big shot who always appeared in newspapers and crystal balls, and his words and deeds could determine the fate of countless people. Such a person suddenly appeared in front of her, and Diana had to panic.

"Or Diana. Born in the city-state of Dibias in the state of Ossahe. Her father is a leatherworker and her mother is a full-time housewife. She has shown an outstanding talent for magic since she was a child.

He was admitted to the state high school with the highest score in the entire city-state, and was admitted to the Jinhui Mage College with the highest score in the state.

He continued to excel in his studies at the Mage Academy and was also the subject representative of magical materials.

Diana, you are great. No one would dislike a child who works so hard like you. "

Xingge gave Diana a kind smile.

"Ah... Lord Mayor. I... I've only been trying my best."

"My child, your modesty will not affect your excellence." Xingge said with a smile: "It's rare for us to meet, don't you want to invite me in to sit down?"

Diana looked at Richard and saw him nodding to her furtively. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made way for him: "Lord City Lord, please come in."

Xingge turned his head and looked at Richard, and said to him, "While I am questioning you, you can go see Dean Hank.

Although he is very busy now, I think he would like to see you no matter how busy he is. You are the only person he has met during his entire hospitalization who is not in the Xingyue Society. "

"You're right. I want to see him, too. I'll leave this place to you. How long will it take for me to come back?"

Richard readily agreed.

Xingge nodded and said, "It won't take too long, 30 to 45 minutes will be enough. Okay, you go, I'll take care of this." Xingge said as he closed the door.

The moment the door closed, Richard gave Diana, who looked anxious, a thumbs up, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Bang!
The door closed. Richard turned around and strode towards the college office area.

Soon, he walked through the vast lake and the magnificent teaching building with ease, came to the office building, and found the dean's office on the top floor.

The dean's office was not locked. As soon as Richard arrived, he saw several people in black clothes and black robes coming in and out of the office.

He exchanged glances with a passing black-robed man, bowed to each other, and then entered the office and met Dean Hank who was processing materials.

"Dean! I'm here!"

Dean Hank laughed out loud when he saw Richard.

"Ha ha, Richard! You've come just in time. I was just about to send someone to look for you.

Oxford died for me, and I must take good care of his daughter for him. My wife has passed away, and my grandchildren are all in Rainbow City, and it is boring to be alone.

I plan to adopt Niu Xiaoxiao as my goddaughter.

But I am not familiar with Niu Xiaoxiao after all. I hope you can help me arrange a time and act as a middleman so that Niu Xiaoxiao and I can meet. "

"Oh, such a small matter, of course no problem." Richard agreed immediately. "Being adopted by you is a blessing after all the hardships. I believe you will take good care of Xiaoxiao. If the Oxford teacher knew about it, he would be very happy too."

"Haha. You are still so good at talking. However, you can only represent yourself, not Xiaoxiao's thoughts.

I want to adopt her as my granddaughter, but she must be willing to do so.

When you have arranged a meeting time, remember to tell me in advance so that I can prepare.

I have to leave a good impression on Xiaoxiao when we meet for the first time. I can’t let her think that I’m a sloppy old man.”

Richard smiled and said:
“Haha, Xiaoxiao likes cats, but Oxford has never let Xiaoxiao get a cat because he is allergic to cats.

"Take your cats with you. If Xiaoxiao sees them, she will be unable to walk."

"Oh? There is such information. Then I will cheat without hesitation." Hank smiled slightly, and his mood became a little depressed again.

"The Xingyue Society and I just found out that I was not among the targets of the dark elves at the funeral.

Their main purpose was to kill the noble mages who tried to divide the Anthony family inheritance in order to deter and retaliate against those forces in the Silver City-State that were tracking down the Anthony family.

The main target is still the Lord of Xingge City.

The reason they attacked me was because old Pete's brother gave them a huge sum of money.

Because Old Pete's brother had always had a single line of communication with the dark elves, even Old Pete himself didn't know the news.

Oxford blocked the knife for me, which saved my life.

He ultimately became a victim of the power struggle between me and old Pete.

Power is such a bad thing.

How many people have fought to the death for power. How many innocent people have died inexplicably because they were caught up in the fight for power.

Seeing that Hank was a little depressed, Richard quickly comforted him:
"Well, it has been found out that Old Peter is a spy for foreign forces. If he becomes the dean of Jinhui Mage College, the consequences will be disastrous.

The Oxford teacher used his own sacrifice to prevent an assassination attempt on you. His sacrifice was more important than Mount Tai, and his death was well deserved. "

"Haha, let's not talk about this." Dean Hank shook his head and changed the subject with a smile. "By the way, I have good news for you. Richard, do you still remember the Pokopi family?

The Star-Moon Society's master wizard, [Eye of the Earth], belongs to their family.

The student you taught, Pokbi Kasim, is also from this family.

There are only two mages in our Silver City who have blocked the shackles of the stigmata for others. One of them is you, and the other is the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Tokebi family. That is, Tokebi Kasim's second uncle, Galen Tokebi.

Unfortunately, Galen Togepi chose to commit suicide because he was too painful to lose his magic power.

But before he died, he wrote a lot about his mental journey in fighting against the shackles of the stigmata.

According to his records of his mental journey, he had thought about committing suicide five years ago. He said that this was the self-destructive instinct of the mage's body after losing magic power, and he had to use willpower to fight against it. I don't know if you have felt it too.

Galen Pokby relied on his own research to persevere for another five years. During these five years, he also recorded his process of fighting against his self-destructive instinct and revised it into a book.

When the book was published, it had a lot of deletions because it involved many secret contents that could not be published. The real original version was only available in the Togepi family.

A while ago, I asked the Pokopi family to copy a complete set of books left by Galen Pokopi.

When their people come from Rainbow City, I will be able to give you the set of books. I believe these books will be helpful to you. "

Richard: ???

Richard was a little surprised.

"Ah, will the Stigmata Chains also give the mage a self-destructive instinct? Why don't I feel it?
Could it be that I have long been accustomed to the state of being without magic in my previous life? Losing magic is just a return to nature for me. That’s why I don’t feel anything?”

Richard thought about it and bowed.

"Thank you for your help, Dean. You have worked hard. You really worry about my affairs."

Hank sighed heavily:
"Hey. I did all this, but in the end it was all to protect you.

I have taught so many students and met so many geniuses. Even I myself am a magic genius who has been swimming in the ocean of truth and magic since I was a child.

But I have never seen anyone with such a wild imagination as you.

A lot. You have successfully performed all the magic experiments that I thought were impossible. Although the weird magic you have researched has been criticized by other researchers as being too bizarre, too absurd, and of little value.

For example, skin rejuvenation can make the skin smoother and brighter, and wig surgery can change the color of hair without dyeing.

But I always knew that your cynicism was just a disguise. I saw with my own eyes the creation of [Death Illusion] in your hands. It was a powerful magic that could affect the entire country. In order to protect you, I didn't even dare to disclose that you were the inventor of [Death Illusion].

Even the awards given to you by the higher-ups, I only dared to quietly present them to you in the name of various college honors."

Dean Hank became more and more unwilling when he said this.

"Oh, it's all the fault of that damned Holy See. They ruined a genius like you.

Richard, you must not give up on your study of magic. I will do my best to help you find a way to restore your magic. I promise. "

"Who said I'm going to give up studying magic?" Richard tapped his head with his fingers. He said, "Yes, Dean, I did lose my magic power, but the magic knowledge I learned from childhood to adulthood has not disappeared, they are still in my mind.

My passion for magic has never died.

Beethoven, the great bard who wrote the trilogy of fate, became deaf in his middle age.

But the most classic and perfect chapters of his life were all born when he was deaf.

I just have no magic power, I'm not dead.

Maybe it is precisely because I have no magic power that I can research some magic that a wizard with magic power cannot research in his lifetime. Just like Beethoven.

The lowest point in my life may also be my highest point.”

"Well said!" Hank clapped his hands vigorously. His eyes narrowed with laughter. "Hahaha, it seems that I have done too much and worried about you for nothing.

Richard, you truly are my most valued student.

I feel relieved when you said this. I was bored when I was hospitalized a while ago, so I collected my previous inspirations and sorted out some ideas for the topic.

When Richard heard this, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and had an extremely ominous premonition.

He was very familiar with this opening move. Whenever this opening move appeared, Dean Hank would start to behave like a bad person.

Sure enough, Dean Hank took out a thick stack of papers from under the table with a smile and said:
"Take a look at these topics. Pick out 17 or 18 to study.

Of course, it would be best if we could study them all.”

Richard: ???

Richard looked at the thick stack of research topics with a shudder.

“No, wait a minute, Dean.

I have no magic power now. From a mage's perspective, I am a disabled person.

But from the look on your face, you don’t treat me as a disabled person, but you don’t treat me as a human being either.”

"Oh, just study it. If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, leave it alone.

This is all inspiration. The more inspiration, the better. Dean Hank didn't give Richard a chance to refuse. As he spoke, he stuffed the topic in his hand into Richard's hand. He seemed to be afraid that Richard would run away.

Richard didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Well, then I'll leave these topics to you. But I'll tell you in advance that I don't have any magic power now. I can't work overtime and study for you like before. And I'm the warden of Saint Laurent Prison now, and there are many things to do in the prison."

"Of course, of course, I understand. You are also an outstanding individual who has been laid off and re-employed in our Jinhui Mage College. You should focus on your job. As for magic research, you can just take time to think about it."

Dean Hank was speaking when he suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that I also kept the magic projects you were researching before you got into trouble. I never let other wizards take over. I'll look for them for you."

Richard: !!!

Richard quickly put the magic project in his hand into his arms and said seriously: "Dean, I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to do. I will leave first."

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you run away? What's the emergency? Can I help you?"

"This is my family matter, you can't help. My girlfriend and my mistress are arguing. I have to go and mediate."

"what?"

Dean Hank watched Richard run out in a flash. He couldn't help but shook his head, with a helpless smile on his face.
