Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 106 Song of the Stars
call!
The abyss creatures summoned by the Gate of Abyss are somewhat similar to the Heroic Soul soldiers. They do not have enough intelligence and are deceived by Richard's seduction tactics.

The gargoyle flew low in the sky, with its hard rock tail drooping on the ground. When its huge tail swept across the ground, it would crush all the abyss creatures on the ground.

Richard rubbed his disintegration staff with his hands, and the corpses of the abyss creatures on the ground began to emit a faint green light.

The green lights only flashed for a moment before disappearing into the muscles of the abyss creature's corpse.

Richard took a quick glance and found that Green Ham and Macedonia in the sky did not notice his little action, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Slime Mold

1st level magic/summoning

Effect: Summons a parasitic slime mold to reduce the enemy's initiative. 】

Slow slime mold is a common interference magic that can be used to transform a type of slime mold spores that can reproduce itself.

Richard allowed the slow slime mold to parasitize on the corpses of these abyss creatures. Even though these abyss creatures were dead, their bodies still remained warm, which was simply the best breeding ground for the growth of slime mold.

Even if Richard did not use magic to stimulate the growth of the slime mold, the slow slime mold would reproduce naturally.

When those abyss creatures step on the slime mold, they will inevitably be infected with the slow slime mold and bring the slow slime mold to other places.

After several rounds of magic cycles, Richard opened his magic vision. In his magic vision, dense gray slow slime mold had covered the ground, as if it was covered with a layer of gray fungal carpet.

The spores ejected from the dense fungal carpet float in the air, and when they land on the abyss creatures, they produce a significant color reaction, bursting into bright deep purple.

In Richard's eyes, all the abyss creatures hiding in the ruins and hidden corners were exposed, as if he had activated a full-map cheat.

The gargoyle attacks with great precision, and every time it crashes into the wall it can accurately hit the abyss creature, greatly improving Richard's efficiency in killing monsters.

The slow slime mold itself has no color, and even though it was close at hand, Macedonia was still unaware of Richard's little trick.

Richard's mood at this moment was like crawling into the bed of his girlfriend's best friend next to his girlfriend, feeling both nervous and excited.

As he was killing, Richard soon discovered a strange place.

Deep underground, there is a corner where slow-moving slime mold is enriched. The slime mold in that area is still gray, and there seems to be no trace of other abyss creatures, but the slime mold grows exceptionally vigorously.

Richard couldn't help but become curious.

“There must be something unusual about that place.

Judging from the location, it seems to be the center of this abyss area. Maybe that is where these abyss creatures come from."

"Heichun, break the ground open!"

"Oh! Yes, Warden!"

At Richard's command, Hei Chun immediately dived down and slammed the ground hard.

The earth shattered under the impact of Hei Chun, but the rocks and soil on the ground did not fall down. Instead, they floated in a strange form, as if they were glued together.

boom!
A loud bang was heard from underground. The rocks and soil were blown away by the force that rebounded from deep underground. Hei Chun was also blown away!

Fortunately, the thick-skinned Hei Chun perfectly blocked all the impact and Richard did not suffer any harm.

The loud noise immediately attracted the attention of Macedonia and Green Ham in the sky.

They hurriedly rode the flying carpet and landed next to Richard.

I saw an altar made of granite under the ground.

The altar is surrounded by an orange-yellow pool filled with molten sulfur. On the sulfur pool, you can see flames igniting and extinguishing over and over again.

The deep red blood slowly flowed from the center of the altar, along the lines of the granite, carving out a complex magic array as if it had life. These arrays were intricate, with interlaced lines, forming mysterious symbols and patterns, exuding a strange atmosphere.

Around the altar, six charred bodies were lying on the cold stone slabs. Their bodies had been devoured by flames, their skin was black, their clothes were torn, and they emitted a sickening burnt smell. These bodies were deliberately arranged in the shape of a hexagram, with a body at the top of each hexagram, as if it was a symbol of some evil power.

There was a sense of oppression and uneasiness in the air around the altar, as if something was secretly spying on the altar.

Those charred corpses and those strange magic arrays are all telling a horrible truth: an evil and terrifying ritual once took place on this granite altar.

And this terrifying gate to the abyss is the final product of the ritual.

“A dark elf, two mages, and three halflings.

Judging from her height and appearance, this is probably what she looks like, there is no doubt about it."

Macedonia looked at the corpse, tapped his forehead, and said:
“On the altar is the summoning ritual for the Gate of the Abyss.

Those who can perform this ritual are cultists who have voluntarily dedicated themselves to the abyss."

"Wait a minute, this... isn't this the prison of the Travel City? This underground is the prison's underground interrogation square!
I came here every time I was arrested before."

cried Green Ham.

Macedonia nodded.

“Before, the Lord of Xingge City cleared out a large number of Travel City clubs and arrested many of the club’s staff and customers.

Those who could be relatively easily cleared of suspicion were quickly released, and the remaining ones who were detained were suspects who were judged by the Xingyue Society to be very likely to have problems.

It now seems that the Xingyue Society has most likely not arrested the wrong people, and that group of people really does include cultists who are in collusion with external forces.

They killed the prison guards and performed a brutal Abyss Summoning ritual inside the prison in response to the Dark Elves' raid on the City of Travel."

Hearing this, Green Ham sighed worriedly: "Ah, it looks like everyone in prison is in danger. I wonder if those dwarf girls I'm close to and those minotaur brothers I met in prison have been released."

Richard's heart also skipped a beat.

“There are a lot of people in the Travel City club who I have a good relationship with.

I have also met many poor girls who are similar to Green Tea and Black Tea, the little girls who wanted to live a good life with Xingge and me as a four-person group.

They all call me Teacher Richard.

I don’t know if they were implicated in this incident.

Sigh... the magical world is so dangerous.

Any large-scale disaster will result in heavy casualties.

Green Tea likes sweets and has a dimple on the right corner of her mouth when she smiles. She is very self-conscious about her breasts because she was rudely insulted by a rich old man.

Red Tea has long thighs and likes to exercise. She often pulls the lazy Green Tea for a run. Although she lives in a dark alley, she aspires to become a mage to escape her fate and has a noble mind.

But if they died in this incident, then their joys, sorrows, anger and past lives would be meaningless and would be swallowed up by the casualty figures in the newspapers.

In the newspapers, the casualties are just numbers, but when you look at the numbers, they are specific people.”

Richard took a deep breath.

In this magical world, stability and peace are just illusions, and danger is the main theme.

I absolutely do not want to be one of those unknown numbers, and I must make myself stronger as soon as possible.

When Richard thought of this, he widened his eyes and tried to observe the blood-colored lines on the altar. He firmly memorized these blood-colored lines in his mind. He was ready to follow suit and experiment whether he could create an abyss portal through these blood-colored lines. While Richard was observing, Macedonia suddenly said:
"The executive officer is here."

Richard looked up and saw a magic car falling from the sky and stopping in front of them.

The car door opened, and Iluna, wearing a purple evening dress, stepped out of the car in an elegant and graceful manner.

As soon as she came down, she said anxiously:

"Richard, Macedonia, Green Ham. How is the outbreak of the Abyss Gate? Are there many Abyss monsters running out? Can you hold on?"

support……

Macedonia turned around and saw two gargoyles falling from the sky and tearing a three-headed dog of hell into pieces, while hundreds of gargoyles were hovering in the sky.

“It was really hard to hold on, luckily you, Officer, arrived in time.

If you come a little later, the warden will have killed all the monsters in the abyss."

"Huh?" Iluna was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. She said angrily:
"Stop talking nonsense. Now is not the time to joke around. Since you guys can hold on, then hold on for a while longer.

Zach and I have to go to Xingge to help."

"What?" Macedonia scratched his ears, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"City Lord Xingge needs help from others? Is there a legend she can't handle?"

“The problem lies with her.

Those damn dark elves were carrying the Holy See's sacred artifact, the Exile Badge, and they used it to lock her up in the astral plane.

The legendary stealth warrior of the dark elves also entered the star realm, wanting to die together with Xingge in the star realm.

Their attack on the City Lord's Mansion was just a cover, the dark elves were here for Xingge."

“Hiss… The Star Realm… That is the remains of a broken world, filled with twisted and weird terrifying creatures and rule traps that can destroy everything.

The Lord of Xingge City is in danger." Macedonia was horrified.

"Yes." Iluna frowned and said

"It's a pity that the legendary Kappa of the Wizard Academy has passed away. He was an expert in the field of astral witchcraft. If he were still alive, he could bring back the Lord of Star Song City with just a wave of his hand.

It's a pity no.

I must rush over as soon as possible to stop the dark elves from attacking the City Lord's Mansion. Although Hank Legend is already there, one more person is better than one less.

As long as the City Lord's Mansion is still there, Xingge can return to our world through the beacon of the City Lord's Mansion after defeating the dark elf legend on the opposite side.

Be careful here. I am leaving now."

Iluna returned to the magic car, which suddenly accelerated and turned into a stream of purple light, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Looking at the taillights of the magic car, Macedonia sighed, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. City Lord Xingge has suffered so many assassinations since she was a child that she probably can't even count them.

She has experienced situations that would have been fatal for a normal person countless times."

Richard blinked and took this opportunity to ask the doubts that had been buried in his heart.

“Macedonian brothers.

I know that City Lord Xingge is very powerful, and I often see reports about her strength in the media.

What abilities and background does Xingge City Lord have? How can she be so powerful? "

"You don't know? Oh, right. You were a commoner in the Mage Academy.

This is no secret either.

Among the seven most powerful people in our Silver City-State, three are the parents and teachers of City Lord Xingge, and she alone controls almost half of the country, so she has been the focus of attention since she was born.

Just because of her noble birth, it is not enough for Xingge to attract everyone's attention. Her real strength lies in her talent.

Her specialty is Song of the Stars, a specialty named after her, and from ancient times to the present, only the Lord of Star Song City has this skill.

I heard that there is a starry sky deep in the soul of the Lord of Xingge City.

Every star in this starry sky corresponds to a vein of the world.

The Lord of Xingge City can always make the most favorable choice for himself under the guidance of these starlights.

This manifests itself in her life as her strong intuitive premonition of things or people that might harm her, which often enables her to turn danger into safety and turn misfortune into good fortune.

This is reflected in the fact that she can always cast the most appropriate magic each time, and can sense the enemy's attack intentions and make appropriate preparations before the enemy attacks.

However, the guidance of the starlight will always lead to the path that is most beneficial to Xingge himself.

But being good for Xingge doesn’t mean it will be good for the City of Travel, let alone for the Silver City-State.

When Lord Xingge was a child, he made some irreparable mistakes because he trusted his own strengths too much.

So she has been limiting the use of her specialties in life and combat.

But even so, she is still one of the strongest legends in the world.

The entire Nine Rings Magician Senate recognizes that as long as Xingge can successfully grow into a demigod, there will definitely be a permanent seat for Xingge in the Senate."

As Macedonia spoke, he clapped his hands and shouted in an exaggerated and rhythmic voice:

"Warden, if you can marry her, then what are you fighting for? You won't have to worry about your next life, or the next, or the next, life after that.

The two families with the most power and financial resources in the Silver City-State will become your supporters and backers.

From now on, you will eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, have fun, and do whatever you want. When you are old and don’t want to play anymore, you can pick up a pen and write an autobiography.

The title of the book is "Me and My Permanent Wife", which is guaranteed to be a hit.

All male mages in the entire Silver City must kneel on the ground to read your book. If they move their knees even a little, it will be considered disrespectful to you."

"Hahaha." Richard was amused. He waved his hands and said with a smile, "Forget it."

Macedonia became anxious all of a sudden: "Warden, please don't give up just because of the difference in identity, status and strength. Love is unreasonable.

I heard that there is an old woman in our Silver City who is over 90 years old. She has never been married in her life. She can't get married even if she wants to. No one wants her. When she was about to die, she was spotted by a necromancer. The necromancer spent all his family property to resurrect her as a beautiful vampire bride.

Now she sucks blood six times a day, and has skeleton soldiers serving her when she washes her feet every day. Who knows how good her life must be.

You're not doing this for dignity, are you?

No. Dignity is very precious, but you can’t sacrifice money for dignity.”

Richard: ...

No…what I mean is that Xingge’s gigolo is terrible, it looks good but it’s not tasty.

Why do I have to be the permanent husband? Can't I just be the permanent husband myself?
