Chapter 150: Leonard's Secret
Seeing William's nonchalant look, the cook, who was about thirty years old, couldn't help but feel a little lost.
When the Van Kings professional said that she wanted to take Daisy away, she was still very reluctant.
If it had been two days ago, she would have begged him not to take his daughter. I already have a job as a cook, and although it is a little difficult to take Daisy alone, it is a big deal to work harder, and the two of them will not starve to death.
But after the werewolf broke into the palace the day before yesterday, she could only hide in the dusty bread oven with Dai in her arms, trembling and listening to the roars and screams of the beasts outside, and hiding in fear all night.
When she came out the next day, the servants of the palace were dead, and several of the cooks who worked like her died.
A kind aunt who usually took care of them collapsed a dozen steps away from the kitchen, her corpse gnawed and mutilated, covered with the teeth of wild beasts.
After burying the cook, she has recognized the reality, and now Flange is no longer safe, she is just a little cook, and she can't even protect her own life, let alone protect Daisy.
So when she heard that William wanted to bring her daughter back to Anderson's house, she even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she was very reluctant in her heart, although she knew that Anderson's house was not a good place to go, at least she could give her daughter more hope of survival, but it was ......
She quietly glanced at William, who had a cold (face) and pale (paralyzed) expression.
This professional lord has a cold look, and it seems that Daisy has left a bad impression on him......
The cook gritted her teeth and plucked up the courage to speak: "Lord William, Daisy is usually very well-behaved, she doesn't like to be trick-or-treating, but something happened when she was a child, which made her like to make black bread very much." β
Seeing that William did not show an impatient look, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and said softly:
"We ...... We once Master Rhodes, who was once thrown out and starved in the street for two whole days, and if Daisy hadn't picked up a copper capper, we would have starved to death.
Because there was only one copper capper, we could only afford the cheapest black bread, and she was only five years old at the time, probably remembering the taste of that black bread, so she was a little persistent......"
The note in William's hand was torn off with a thud.
Five-year-old ...... Street corner...... A piece of copper capper's black bread?
As if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head to look at the cook next to him, and carefully looked at her appearance.
The cook's age is about thirty years old, there are no ornaments on her body, only a dusty cloth wrapped in dark brown hair, even if she does not apply powder, her eyebrows and eyes are still beautiful, and it can be seen that she should be a beautiful woman with good appearance when she is young.
It's just that the hardships of life and the fatigue of the transition have made her a little old in advance, but she still has the charm, and her eyebrows and eyes look vaguely familiar, and she always feels as if she has seen it somewhere......
Daisy Anderson?...... Daisy...... Daisy Farrell!
At this moment, 100,000 grass and mud horses flowed through his chest, and William looked at the woman in front of him in shock, and he really didn't know what to say.
Leonard...... Your mother-in-law and future wife who died in the chaos are in my hands, and I will ask you whether to surrender or not!
......
Seeing that the professional master looked at his face and began to be in a daze, Leonard's mother-in-law, who had not yet passed the door, was startled, and quickly lowered her head and took a step back, and said with a flustered face: "I'm sorry Lord William, I ...... I...... Please I didn't say anything!"
William also recovered from the huge shock, waved his hand and said gently: "You are polite, from the old Marquis of Roman, you are also mine...... Cousin, we are all relatives, so there is no need to be too restricted. β
As he spoke, he smiled at the woman in front of him. "But I have something I'd like to discuss with you. β
The beautiful woman on the opposite side trembled, pulled her neckline and took a step back, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... What do you want to do?"
William took a step forward and slowly reached out to her.
"Can you show me the bread in your hand? β
"I ...... I'll call ......"
β......β
The woman's body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed.
She hurriedly handed over half of the black bread, then bowed deeply, said a faux pas, and fled the kitchen with her head down, almost colliding with the man at the door.
[Black Bread to the Depths of the Heart (No. 127 Prototype)]
[Hard +2] [Satiety +3] [Bad Food +3]
[Stunt: The taste that goes straight to the heart, and after eating, you can get Spirit +1 (permanent) (unique)]
[This is a piece of black bread that is extremely unpalatable, mixed with bran sawdust and pebbles in addition to wheat flour, and it has not been made for a long time, but it has a sour taste that only spoiled bread has, and even greedy profiteers will not sell it,
However, what is amazing is that this extremely unpalatable bread not only embodies an extremely sincere heart, but also contains a simple good wish.
[Ahh
This property ...... Stone hammered!
William excitedly flattened the black bread in his hand.
Your mother-in-law and future wife are in my hands, and you must bring your sister-in-law and sister-in-law and all the gold and silver treasures and the soldiers under me before six o'clock tomorrow morning to surrender, otherwise I will tear up the ticket!
[Black bread to the depths of the soul], this is the only one that has no other branches!
Daisy Farrell, the one who "fed" all the flanges.
Gentle and virtuous, quiet and elegant, always timid when talking to strangers, a woman like a little white flower, and the only weakness of Leonard's mental illness.
The bread made by "Lady Daisy" has a charm that goes straight to the heart, can make those who eat it feel the preciousness of life (so bad that you can see the River Styx), and most importantly - her bread can permanently provide 5 spiritual attributes!
These 5 spiritual attributes may not be worth mentioning for high-level professionals, but most of the first-order legal professions require 15-20 points of spiritual power for employment, and the spiritual power of ordinary people also hovers between 5-10.
With these five spiritual attributes, those ordinary people with poor talent can barely touch the threshold of changing jobs and obtain the qualification to become professionals.
Almost ten years later, [Lady Daisy's Black Bread] will become the cornerstone of the entire Flange, and through the power of dark cuisine, it will change the status quo of the desert of Flange-based professionals, and give birth to a large number of low-level professionals.
No one knows where the "Master of Brown Bread" came from, and the only thing players know is the story between her and Black Bread.
At the age of five, the "Lady Daisy" was kicked out of her home along with her mother, who was a cook, and almost starved to death on the streets.
Tortured by hunger to the point of collapse, she committed the only robbery of her life, snatching a copper capper from a sick beggar's bowl and buying a spoiled black bread mixed with wood chips.
In order to add weight, the profiteers mixed small pebbles into the bread, which was so bad that the animals could not swallow it, but it literally saved two lives that were about to starve to death.
After being picked up again, she approached the sick beggar with the black bread her mother had made, only to be told that the beggar had starved to death on a cold night.
Only those who have truly felt hunger know what it is like.
This stubborn and timid little girl had a simple dream from then on - to make hungry and delicious brown bread from the cheapest ingredients, so that the poorest people could afford it.
Her little brain thinks that even if people are the same, they will still die, but at least not in such a painful way as starvation......
It's a pity that her wish will probably never be fulfilled, even if the number of the sample work of the brown bread in the future is updated to five figures, the taste is still amazingly unpalatable.
Everyone wants to take a bite of the brown bread she makes, but absolutely no one wants to take a second bite.
Rubbing the coarse black bread in his hand, William couldn't help but recall the horror of the "finished version of bread", the terrifying taste of sandpaper, enough to destroy anyone's taste buds in an instantβin a physical sense.
Moreover, because of her rare [Soul Reaper] class, there is also an unimaginable spiritual blow attached to the finished version of the bread.
There is a group of sand sculpture players who are brave enough to challenge the limits of humanity by adjusting their sense of pain and taste to 1%, but none of them can survive the thirty, and most of them have seen the Styx within ten.
So in every sense of the word, the black bread that leads to the depths of the soul is a terrible food, and the woman who can make this bread is ...... Girl...... He's also a scary person.
Throwing away the black bread in his hand, William turned around with a complicated look in his eyes and looked in the direction of Daisy's escape.
That quiet and gentle, introverted and shy beauty, is now a leather monkey like a reed stick? What a woman......
Isn't this Jessica? How does it look like she's lost her soul?
There was a familiar figure standing sideways outside the door, his face and upper body blocked by the old wooden door, but sometimes he didn't need to see his face, and this ratio must have been that Jessica hadn't run.
Glancing back at the little witches who had shrunk into the corner, William left the kitchen speechless.
The female knight outside the door was standing in an extremely awkward posture, twisting her neck to look at the back of the cook in the distance, her eyes did not even blink, and her eyes were full of doubts and confusion.
"Jessica?"
The female knight's body trembled, and her blank eyes regained focus, but the eyebrows and eyes, which had been a little sharp on weekdays, seemed to have softened a lot.
Jessica's small and delicate nose moved slightly, and then she asked with some reluctance:
"William, who was the woman who went out just now?"
Hearing this, William's eyes flashed with a hint of vigilance.
How do you behave...... You and your brother are worthy of being dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the aesthetic standards are so uniform? And you seem to be fiercer than him.
If he can't beat Leonard on the battlefield, he is ready to warp his mother-in-law to be his old father-in-law...... Mother, are you really ...... this routine? It seems that the operability is quite strong.
Rubbing his chin, William shook off the thought of zombies in his head, and replied instead:
"She used to be the cook of the Anderson family, and she was once forced to be the mistress of the current Marquis of Anderson, and now she should be your cook. What's wrong, is there anything wrong with her?"
Jessica looked moved, and said in some surprise, "She's Daisy's mother?"
William raised an eyebrow. "You arranged her position as a cook, and you don't know her?"
"I ......," Jessica recalled, frowning, and said:
"It's the first time I've met her, and her daughter, Daisy, has a strong physique, strength and speed, and makes her a good melee professional.
When I asked Daisy what she wanted from her daughter, she said she wanted her mom to be my cook......"
Even with the presence of the [Careerist's Face], the corners of William's mouth twitched violently.
You're crazy, you're crazy, Daisy has a special talent for souls, and can take on a special class that manipulates souls, not to mention the bug-like baking skills, you let such a big baby take a knife and cut people?
"It doesn't matter. Jessica waved her hand and asked with some eagerness:
"William, that woman turned out to be the cook of the Anderson family, so is she from the Franises, do you have any other brothers and sisters?"
β......β
How do I know, I'm only responsible for helping old Roman find his granddaughter, do I still have to check the family tree of his son's mistress?
William shook his head. "I don't know, but it shouldn't be a nobleman, it should be just an ordinary person. β
"I'm not asking if she's a nobleman!" Jessica stomped her foot in a hurry, then leaned her face in front of William.
"Don't you think I'm a bit like her?"
In response to William's stunned gaze, the knight pulled her hair behind her ears, trying to show her face more clearly.
β......β
"Isn't it like?"
I'm sorry, but it's the first time I've noticed what your face looks like, ...... Well...... Those don't matter.
William looked up and down seriously, and even reached out to pinch it, and found that Jessica's appearance was indeed three points similar to that chef's, the same clear and beautiful, and her lips and chin were even more similar.
But the difference in temperament between the two is a bit big, the temperament of the cook is quite weak, and she looks cautious all the time.
Jessica is different, although she is not very good at braining, but she is also the leader of the troops, her eyebrows and eyes are cold and hard when she is not smiling, and her temperament is also resolute, and the chef is completely different styles.
If she hadn't said it, William really wouldn't have noticed that the two looked a little alike, and after thinking about Jessica's question, he hesitated and said, "So...... You ask her if she has any siblings who are ......"
Jessica nodded.
"She could be my mother's clansman......"
β......β
William smacked his lips, I thought she was your long-lost biological mother, I'm sorry, I watched a lot of bloody family dramas in my last life.
The female knight who gave birth to her mother out of nothing recalled for a moment, and said softly: "When my mother's family was wiped out, there should have been many people who fled from the Holy Empire to Fran, and I think she was probably one of them. β
Jessica touched her chin wistfully and muttered, "William, do you remember what Cousin Amelian said before he died, he said that although my mother and I look alike, we don't look like each other.
Indeed, my eyes are more like those of my father...... The man some. And my mother is a gentle and quiet person most of the time, her eyes are always soft, and she is not very bold, and she is always timid when she speaks, like a little white flower on the side of the road......"
William: "......"
I seem to know something......
