Return to Fussen

When Elena and Leopold returned to Fussen, she had a space ring on her hand.

This was a welcoming gift from the dean. The design is very simple and can be worn by both men and women. The ring can also be enlarged or reduced according to the size of the wearer's finger, so there is no problem of it not fitting after gaining weight or losing weight.

The ring's space capacity is not large, only one cubic meter, but it is enough to use. Now there are dozens of textbooks stored in it, which are for the courses Elena is about to take.

In addition to the spatial function, this ring also has an important function, defense. The level of defense is quite strong and can withstand all attacks below the grandmaster level.

This ring is a combination of space items and defense items.

Elena made a fortune by exchanging an ordinary gem for a practical magical item.

Outside the teleportation array, the old butler and his subordinates were still waiting. They had been waiting for most of the day and didn't know how long they would have to wait, let alone whether the lord would come back. But no one dared to leave. If they left and the lord came back, they would be doomed.

When a dazzling white light came on, everyone's mood suddenly became excited. They had finally waited for it.

Elena stepped out of the teleportation array, and the old housekeeper immediately came to greet her: "Miss, is everything going well?"

Elena smiled and nodded: "It went smoothly, and it went smoothly beyond imagination."

She winked playfully as she spoke: "Harold, why don't you guess who I just met?"

The old butler shook his head respectfully: "This humble servant dare not make random guesses."

Elena looked at the officials standing aside and said, "Guess."

The officials dared not respond and played dumb.

After an awkward silence, it was finally the treasurer, a subordinate who was striving to make his presence felt in front of the lord, who spoke up to speculate, "Miss, did you meet a great wizard?"

The Royal Magic Academy has the most mages, but Lord Leopold is the Grand Master. As a witness to their apprenticeship ceremony, he should also be a Grand Master.

Elena smiled triumphantly, her head held high and her chest puffed out: "I met the dean, the pillar of the empire, the demigod."

The old butler and his subordinates were shocked.

Everyone opened their mouths wide and forgot to breathe.

The pillar of the empire, the demigod.

As citizens of the Caropetto Empire, everyone knows the demigod. He is the pride of the empire, the miracle of the common people, and the guardian of peace.

They all grew up listening to stories about the demigod.

The demigod's honorable name is Patrick. The name Patrick means guardian. It is said that the demigod was not originally called this name. It was the demigod's teacher who changed his name to him. It was said that he foresaw the demigod's future and that he would become a guardian.

Sure enough, Lord Demigod lived up to this great name. Later, he was promoted to Demigod and became the pillar of the empire, protecting the empire from foreign invasions and attacks by waves of monsters. Therefore, Lord Demigod's title was Pillar of Carlo.

The Viscountess actually met this legendary figure!

God!

Elena patted the old housekeeper’s shoulder: “Come, relax, breathe, and keep breathing.”

After being reminded and interrupted, the old butler and his subordinates finally reacted, took a deep breath, calmed down, and relieved the dizziness in their heads.

Seeing that their expressions had relaxed, Elena raised her long eyebrows and playfully dropped another bomb on them.

"The dean saw that I had great talent and accepted me as his disciple."

Crack, crack, crack, crack, a series of choking sounds were heard, and the next moment, the old butler and his subordinates all burst into violent coughing.

After playfully teasing the ministers for a while, Elena hummed a song and walked briskly towards the Viscount's Mansion.

The teleportation array is built in the front of the castle, which is the office area.

Although the teleportation array was built with Elena's personal funds, Elena did not want to regard it as her personal property. She wanted the teleportation array to play a greater role so that everyone could go to the royal capital through it. In this way, the officials in the mansion could also go to the royal capital to see the world, learn, improve their work skills, and bring her things to do, such as delivering goods to the dessert shop in the royal capital.

Todd's efficiency was very high. He simply cut out a part of his restaurant and renovated it into a dessert shop. He also selected dessert shop staff from the restaurant's original waiters. Now he is going through all the administrative procedures. Once all the procedures are completed, the dessert shop can be opened.

Elena can now select the chef and accountant for the dessert shop, especially the accountant, it would be best to send him over now so that he can take charge of the financial power of the dessert shop from the beginning.

Who should be sent?

Well, I'll ask the financial officer for his opinion tomorrow.

As for the chef, I have to ask Chef Roy about the candidate tomorrow.

Oh, and there are also high-quality fruits and nuts. Chef Roy knows these best. Ask him which area in his territory produces the best fruits and nuts. Next time, bring them to the capital for Todd to see. If he thinks they are good, then you can ask the agricultural officer to arrange for them to be picked.

While thinking about these things, Elena led Leopold towards the Viscount's Mansion.

Back at the Viscount's Mansion, Elena took Leopold to the guest room area.

"Teacher, please pick a room you like." Elena generously opened all the vacant guest rooms for Leopold to choose from.

Leopold looked at each room one by one, and finally stopped in front of a guest room that had not been opened. "Why is this room closed? Is someone living in it?"

Elena was about to speak when Leopold raised his hand to stop her: "Ah, let me guess, is this Leonard's room?"

Elena nodded: "Yes, teacher, you guessed right."

So Leopold chose the room next to Leonard's: "I'll stay in this one."

"Okay." Elena took the key from the old housekeeper and handed it to Leopold, "Teacher, this is the room key."

Leopold threw the key into the space ring.

Elena looked at her pocket watch, which was a trophy she got while shopping in the royal capital. Watches in this world are very expensive, and Elena has always been reluctant to buy one. When she was shopping in the royal capital, she saw that the watches in the store were much cheaper than those in Booker Harbor, so she immediately bought it.

There is one more thing to say about this.

Leonard was the one who was shopping with Elena at the time. When Leonard saw Elena spend 80 silver coins to buy a pocket watch, he couldn't bear it.

"This thing is useless. What else can it be used for besides telling time?" Leonard said with a look of disapproval.

Elena retorted to him: "People eat just to fill their stomachs and not starve to death, so why do you care whether the food tastes good or not?"

Leonard: "...I think it's a waste and unnecessary."

"A piece of good beef jerky is worth a big bag of beans. Why don't you eat beans but beef jerky?" Elena continued to confront him.

Leonard: ...Okay, he gets it, he shuts up.

The memories end and we return to the present.

Elena looked at her pocket watch and said, "Dinner time is almost here, Teacher, let's go downstairs and eat first."

Leopold nodded happily.

The two of them arrived at the dining room, where the servants had already set out the tableware and provided water.

After the two washed their hands and sat down, the kitchen servants quickly served the dishes.

Today's dishes are egg fried rice, barbecued meat, mushroom soup and vegetable salad.

Elena asked: "Teacher, what spices do you like with barbecue? Black pepper, chili powder or cumin powder?"

Leopold smiled. "Both, thank you."

Elena signaled to the old housekeeper, and soon a servant came in with three plates of spice powder.

Leopold dipped the grilled meat in powder with satisfaction, tasted three kinds of spice powder in a row, and then couldn't stop.

Delicious, delicious, very delicious.

When all the barbecue was finished, Leopold reluctantly put down his fork and turned to look at other dishes.

This one looks pretty good. Leopold chose egg fried rice.

Leopold picked up the spoon and took a bite of the egg fried rice.

"Wow, how is this meal made? It's delicious." Leopold couldn't help but exclaim.

Elena explained his confusion: "It's actually very simple. Put the rice and cold water into the pot at the same time. This way the rice will be cooked more fluffy and fragrant."

There is rice in the magical world, but the cooking method is to wait for the water to boil before putting the rice into the pot. The rice cooked in this way has a hard core and does not taste good.

Elena continued, "Then wait for the rice to cool down, preferably completely. Then put oil in the pan and heat it up. Add the rice and stir-fry until it's hot and fluffy. Add the egg liquid and continue stir-frying. Finally, add some bay leaves."

Leopold nodded as he listened. "It has to be cooked twice. It's quite troublesome."

Hearing that the steps were so complicated, Leopold quickly gave up the idea of ​​trying it himself. It tasted delicious, but he was too lazy to make it.

Elena smiled and said, "It's okay, teacher, if you want to eat, just ask the kitchen to make it. It's very convenient."

Leopold nodded happily. This was the advantage of having a noble student. There were servants to do everything for him.

After finishing a bowl of egg fried rice in one breath, Leopold placed mushroom soup in front of him.

The soup is relatively clear, not the common milky white

Uh, such a clear soup, will it have no taste?

Also, what are those white cubes in the soup?

Although he thought the mushroom soup might be too bland and was skeptical about the white cubes in the soup, Leopold still took a clean spoon and took a sip of the soup out of trust in Elena's culinary talent.

Hmm, very fresh and delicious.

Leopold scooped up the white cube again and put it into his mouth.

Wow, unexpectedly soft.

"What is this?" Leopold picked up another white cube and asked Elena.

Elena said, "This is made from grinding soybeans. I call it tofu."

Leopold was shocked: "This is made of soybeans?"

"Yes." Elena said affirmatively.

"The food is amazing," Leopold exclaimed in amazement.

After the mushroom soup, Leopold enjoyed a vegetable salad. There was nothing surprising about the vegetable salad, except for the yogurt stirred in it, which Leopold particularly liked and scraped very clean with a spoon.

After finishing the dinner in front of him, Leopold touched his stomach, feeling a little unsatisfied.

Elena immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare another dinner.

"Thank you." Leopold said a little embarrassedly, "It's really delicious."

Elena smiled happily: "Teacher, it's great that you like it."

After the meal, Leopold was full. He had eaten two servings of food tonight, which was far more than he usually ate.

"I feel like I'm going to gain weight if I stay a few more days, Elena. You're really talented in food," Leopold said, slumped in his chair.

Elena blinked and said, "Teacher, you are a great wizard. It's easy to stay in shape. All you need to do is cast a few more spells."

Leopold smelled a conspiracy. "You don't want me to do something again, do you? I'm busy. I have to go to college and complete experiments during the day, and I have to teach you when I come home at night. I don't have time to help you with anything else."

"Teacher, you are free anyway, why not make some money?" Elena said charmingly.

"What small change? Am I such a superficial person?" Leopold was too bothered and would rather not make money than work.

Elena could only encourage him in a different way: "But teacher, don't you want to try more new dishes?"

Hmm? Leopold perked up.

"New dish? What are you going to have me do?" Leopold sat up straight.

Elena also put on a serious expression: "Teacher, you know me. I like to innovate the combination of dishes and discover new varieties, such as chili and cumin, which I discovered by accident."

Leopold nodded.

"But the world is so big, with so many species. Who knows if there are any undiscovered edible varieties hidden out there? If we don't discover and explore, then we will miss out on more than just one or two dishes, possibly hundreds of dishes." Elena said solemnly.

Leopold nodded again.

"So, teacher, I hope you can find as many plants as possible for me, whether they are fruits or roots, and bring me some." Elena said.

"Plants?" Leopold frowned. "Don't they need animals?"

"After thousands of years of exploration, people should have a pretty good idea of ​​whether animals are edible or not. We even know which magical beasts are edible and which parts are delicious." Elena smiled.

"But there are more types of plants than animals. I believe there must be species that we are unfamiliar with. No, some common plants can also be made delicious through appropriate methods. It's just that most people don't try. As for me, I have the time, ideas, and abilities." Elena was very confident.

Leopold was somewhat impressed.

"Okay, I'll help you." Leopold agreed.
