Chapter 137
Gu Hongying, Yu Tu, Hao Zhizhi, and Eric, each holding a cup of hot milk and wrapped in a large blanket, sat shivering in front of the burning fireplace.
Each of them had a layer of ice crystals on their hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, which were now slowly turning into steam in the heat from the fireplace.
"You little guys are really stupid, aren't you?" A wizard in a black wizard robe came down the stairs from the second floor. "You studied at Miller's for a year or two, but you didn't even cast a snow-proof spell on yourself when you were carried by a flying broom?"
"Give me the cup."
In his hands he held four strings of ginger slices, garlic cloves and dried chilies strung with white strings. He tried to put them into their hot milk, which earned him four horrified looks.
"This is my exclusive secret recipe." The black-robed wizard was obviously very dissatisfied with their horrified looks. "If I hadn't seen how much you suffered while undercover there, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you!"
As the only one who could understand what he was saying, Eric had no choice but to take the responsibility. He said carefully: "Thank you for your kindness, we don't need it for now, we will be warm by the fire."
He didn't really want to taste the flavor of ginger, garlic, and chili soaked in milk.
Seeing the four of them were determined, the black-robed wizard made a "tsk" sound, and with a flick of the wand in his other hand, the teapot on the dining table flew up and flexibly poured a cup of hot milk. Then, a string of special seasoning strung with a white string flew into the hot milk.
After soaking for about five minutes, the black-robed wizard took the cup of special hot milk, sat on the sofa opposite them, and gestured to Eric: "I'm Olivia, what's your name?"
Yu Tu quietly handed the stone brooch to Eric as soon as they entered the room. Eric held it in his hand and rubbed it, and then he knew the name of the owner of the stone brooch.
"I'm Robert," he said.
"The names match." Olivia nodded. He drank his milk and asked curiously, "Where are you three? Your names are not on the list of people I want to rescue."
Eric's mind worked quickly, and a proud smile appeared on his face: "I didn't learn anything in school for nothing. They are my James."
In Hebrew, James means "follower".
"Not bad!" Olivia suddenly realized, "I was wondering why there were four of them!"
He continued to ask with great interest: "How were you discovered?"
This hasn't been edited yet, so Eric pretends to be embarrassed and doesn't want to recall it.
Olivia narrowed her eyes and said, "Although this is just a minor fight between students and I am only entrusted by someone, but - don't lie to me."
There was suddenly a bulge in the black hood behind him, and a crow poked its head out. Its beak flashed a sharp cold light, and its black feathers looked colorful under the firelight of the fireplace. It jumped onto Olivia's head, making an "Ahhhh" sound.
"Bella, stop pulling my hair!" Olivia put down the glass of milk, reached out to grab the crow that was jumping around on her head, and complained loudly, "Do you know how precious a magician's hair is?"
The depressing atmosphere he had created just now disappeared in an instant, as if he had just said it to scare them.
Eric was sweating profusely.
Children with spiritual powers can undergo spiritual testing and practice after they reach the age of eighteen. Although Eric could not practice before he was eighteen, he had already learned many Western magic spells. He just lacked the ability to release them.
Just when Olivia complained about the black crow, he had instantly cast a truth spell on himself. If Olivia asked the next question, Eric would not be able to lie.
The black crow had obviously gotten used to running wild over his head. Even when it was caught in his hands, it still kept yelling "Ahhh" and "Wawawawa" in a proud manner, not worrying at all that Olivia would get angry.
After talking to the black crow in magic language for several sentences, Olivia suddenly turned around and asked a question that Eric found incredible: "Can you cook?"
Under the spell of truth, Eric couldn't lie: "I can't, but my friends can."
It's no exaggeration to say that Olivia's eyes seemed to light up: "Can you cook a meal that Bella can eat?"
Although he didn't know why the topic had turned in such a strange direction, Eric's desire to survive prompted him to nod frantically. Magical creatures had already gone beyond the category of ordinary creatures, just like intelligent creatures were no different from humans. They could eat anything that humans could eat.
"There are ingredients in the kitchen." Olivia asked with a smile, "Since I saved you, can you make lunch for Bella and me, Robert?"
Eric nodded heavily.
Ten minutes later, the four people, who were no longer cold, stood in Olivia's kitchen and looked at each other.
In order to enable them to communicate without obstacles, Olivia cast a spell, so that as long as they were in Olivia's house, they could communicate with each other without language barriers.
They originally planned that Yu Tu would cook and the other three would help him, but no one expected that as soon as they stepped into the kitchen, they would be faced with such a creative, eye-catching and breathtaking food.
Ten thin and long fish of unknown species were placed in a circle along the basin with their mouths open and eyes bulging. Each fish was covered with cream and salad dressing, with only the head exposed. Under the fish were peas, potato cubes, carrot cubes, chopped strawberries, orange chopped, and berries, with cheese serving as a bridge to connect them. Under this layer of strange sauce was a pancake that smelled a little fishy. It looked like the filling was a mixture of various canned fish and meat.
The four of them fell into silence.
"Why are you guys just standing here?" Olivia walked past the crowd into the kitchen, with Bella the Black Crow standing on his shoulder. He reached out and pinched off a piece of puffer fish pizza, took a bite and swallowed it slowly, then tried to feed the rest to the Black Crow on his shoulder, "Bella, try it, it tastes much better than last time."
Crow Bella let out a long series of "Ah ...
Yu Tu's hands were shaking as he searched for ingredients. He lowered his voice and asked Eric, "Are you going to make dark cuisine?"
Eric: "How about... a normal meal first?"
Olivia waved the almost perfectly cut pizza in her hand and said, "Do you want to try it? It's fresh out of the oven."
The four people's expressions were even more horrified than when they saw the glass of spiked milk just now.
Olivia repeatedly invited them to taste the food, but they firmly refused, and finally had to give up with regret.
After they searched Olivia's kitchen for a while, Yu Tu was the chef and cooked a mushroom cream soup, a bowl of soybean noodles, a plate of crispy small yellow croaker, and even made a pot of dumplings stuffed with corn and pork.
Olivia didn't show any reaction when she was tasting the food, but she increased her speed a lot. When she was surrounded by two people, one feeding her crispy yellow croaker and the other feeding her dumplings, Bella the Crow's eyes were almost filled with tears.
It is food without any strange taste or texture!
This is normal food that Crow hasn't eaten for many years!
Olivia and his crow are both homebodies, never leaving the house unless necessary. Apart from purchasing certain magical materials, they go to the mall to buy ready-made products - canned goods, jam, tubs of butter and sliced bread are the main items they must purchase every time.
Olivia is an undisputed genius in magic, but she seems to have a strange gift in cooking. As long as the food is processed by Olivia, even if it is just whipping the butter or heating the bread, it will become an indescribable taste.
In order to prove that she is as talented in cooking as in magic, Olivia researched many new dishes and improved them. For example, the pufferfish pizza that Yu Tu and the others saw when they entered and left the room is Olivia's most proud work at present. It is a perfect work that will not cause diarrhea after eating it and does not require drinking detoxifiers.
The remaining nine pieces of pizza were heated up and served on the table. Except for Olivia who ate another piece without changing her expression, Bella the Crow didn't even look at them.
While Bella was eating and drinking and combing her feathers, someone knocked on Olivia's door. The door automatically recognized the visitor and opened to both sides, revealing a tall and strong figure with a thick animal skin blanket under his arms, and there seemed to be a person wrapped inside.
"Olivia, I've brought Robert here!" he said in a deep voice. "Do you want me to take the fake away now?"
He knew that Olivia seldom went out, and he particularly liked to invite the people he captured to cook for him and Bella and taste the various delicacies he made.
Every time he took away the people captured by Olivia, some were unconscious and foaming at the mouth, some had black and purple faces, and some had mental breakdowns... This was the first time he saw the captured people sitting in a row opposite him in good health.
Theresa wondered, could it be that Olivia had made a breakthrough in her cooking skills?
He was surprised and said, "This is the first time I see someone sober."
Olivia paused in wiping his mouth, then he grabbed the magic wand beside him. The tip of the wand flashed, and a formation was quickly drawn - a short silence formation.
"What fake?" Olivia said elegantly, holding her wand. "Isn't Robert sitting opposite me?"
"He has proof of it."
Trisa, who braved the snow to dig people out of the pit and was banned from speaking: "???"
He turned his gaze to the beautiful black crow lying on the table, confirming with his eyes.
Bella the black crow paused in her combing motion, and after a few seconds she spoke: "Robert, it's really wow."
Theresa: “…”
He strode in and placed the man beside the fireplace, opened the animal skin blanket, revealing the frozen unconscious man inside, then pointed at the man on the ground with one hand and at Eric with the other.
Olivia remained calm and said, "This is Toboro. He and Robert... probably know each other."
While they were talking, the unconscious man lying under the animal skin blanket had his eyelashes fluttering. He finally opened his eyes and saw a ceiling that looked familiar.
The dazed man slowly raised his head, and when he saw Olivia, tears of despair welled up in his eyes: "The Godfather..."
Olivia continued to smile gracefully: "Good afternoon, dear Tuboro."
