Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 161 Never happen again
Chi!

In the dim basement, flames lit up on both sides of Dean Hank's shoulders, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

In the deep and cold basement, rows of heavy books lit up one after another with the arrival of Dean Hank.

Hank waved his hand gently, and a book with a glowing light flew into his hand. He opened the book and threw it aside. The book floated in the air and turned the pages automatically. Soon, paragraphs of information were automatically mapped out.

"Holy See Resource Procurement Investigation Report"

Survey on the Fluctuation of Rare Resources Market

……

“The official announcement said that the sulfur was smuggled into the Holy See.

But I sorted out the sulfur import data of the Holy See in the past two years, and found that the sulfur import volume of the Holy See from various major forces has not fluctuated.

This is totally unreasonable. The sulfur output of the Sulfur Lake is extremely exaggerated. Such an exaggerated sulfur output has a large impact on the market of the Holy See, which will more or less cause some fluctuations.

The amount of money used to bribe officials in Porto Pietro was huge, and there is no doubt that they must have smuggled the sulfur out.

But the target of their smuggling, the big buyer of the most sulfur, is not necessarily the Holy See!"

Dean Hank tapped the bookshelf gently, and a thick book emerged from the shelf.

Ancient Dragon Envoy: The Four Great Dragons

“The ancient dragon, the Rust Dragon.

The Rust Dragon has extremely hard skin and is naturally immune to all curses and toxins. Its saliva also contains a terrible, toxic acid that can cause all matter, life, and soul to rust and wither.

It is one of the most powerful creatures in the entire world, representing a slowly released but unstoppable destruction. Only the Holy Dragon, Crystal Dragon, and Purple Dragon, who are also ancient dragons, can compare with the Rust Dragon.

Any force that obtains the help of the Rust Dragon can quickly rise and become the overlord of the Asian world.

To recruit a rust dragon, you need a huge amount of sulfur.

More than tens of millions of units of sulfur are used to build sulfur corruption pools, allowing the sulfur to decompose on its own and produce rust toxicity.

During this process, sulfur and gold must be continuously added to keep the sulfur corruption pool from stopping reacting.

When the rust toxicity accumulates enough, the sulfur corruption pool will turn into a sulfur cave.

Add a lot of sulfur and gold coins to the sulfur cave. If you are lucky enough, there is a small chance that a rust dragon egg or a guardian dragon egg will hatch, and you can see a rust dragon. "

Looking at the book in his hand, Hank's eyes flickered.

Ancient Dragon Envoy: The Four Great Dragons

This is a historical book which is not very famous in the Yasha world. It introduces the four most powerful dragons in the Yasha world in ancient times.

This book highly praises the four divine dragons. The author of the book even believes that the four divine dragons are the creators of the Yasha world, and that the Dragon God of the Yasha world now is just an evil dragon who stole the power of the four divine dragons.

"Ancient Dragon Envoy: The Four Divine Dragons" records many methods of resurrecting the four divine dragons. The Silver City-State, which has no shortage of funds, has experimented with many of these methods, but all ended in failure. Therefore, this book has been classified as unofficial history and has not received mainstream attention.

But Hank firmly believed in what was mentioned in the book.

Because the author of "Ancient Dragon Envoys: The Four Divine Dragons" is Dean Hank's mentor, the wizard who has done the most in-depth research on the dragon clan in the Yasa world - Dragon Envoy Texas.

Dragon Envoy Texas, a demigod wizard, was once one of the permanent members of the Senate of Nine Rings Magicians. He is an extremely fanatical dragon worshiper and can be described as an incurable dragon cancer.

He dedicated his entire life to the dragon clan and conducted in-depth research on the many dragon clans in the Yasa world.

Many of the higher magic schools in the Silver City have an elective course called "Dragon Studies", and the founder of this elective course is Texas. Even the state of Texas in the Silver City is named after him.

Texas created a series of magic related to dragons, including the forbidden spell [Extreme Dragonization] that can transform living creatures into dragons.

Unfortunately, Texas was unfortunately caught in the void storm while going to the void to search for the purple dragon, and the divine fire was extinguished. Otherwise, the Silver City-State would most likely have regular dragon troops now.

“Of the four great dragons, only the degenerated Crystal Dragon remains, while the other three dragons are nowhere to be seen.

The teacher's greatest wish before his death was to revive the ancient dragon. The methods of summoning the ancient dragon that he recorded were all summarized from the ancient books that he collected with great difficulty.

I heard from my teacher about the experiment of reviving the rust dragon. They were almost successful and even the rust dragon egg reappeared. However, they lacked some luck and the dragon egg did not hatch successfully.

I have always wanted to reproduce my teacher's experiment, but I am far inferior to my teacher in terms of ability and fame, so my request has not been approved.

If someone knew the teacher's experimental process and bought a large amount of sulfur to reproduce the rust dragon, it would explain why the exaggerated sulfur production in the Sulfur Lake disappeared."

Hank took a deep breath, closed the book in his hand, and thought with a frown:
“Among all of the teacher’s students, only my senior brother [Long Gen] truly inherited the teacher’s skills and aspirations. Not long after the teacher was confirmed dead, my senior brother mysteriously disappeared.

It has been twelve years since my brother disappeared. My brother's talent is a hundred times better than mine. If it were him, he might have figured out how to revive Rust Dragon."

Although there was no conclusive evidence, Hank's intuition told him that his guess was most likely correct. This was a mythical amount of sulfur production! In a few years, a huge amount of sulfur, apart from the Rust Dragon, he could not think of anything else that could digest this sulfur silently and cleanly.

When Hank thought of this, he felt extremely sad in his heart, as if a huge rock was pressing on him.

"If my idea is correct, then it means that Senior Brother must have committed treason. No matter who purchased the sulfur in the sulfur case, the other party must be related to the Holy See. Otherwise, the Saint of Chastity would not appear in the Travel City.

Should I report this speculation? If I don't report it, if Senior Brother really helps the Holy Church to research the Rust Dragon, the Holy Church will definitely increase its strength and even suppress our Silver City-State.

But if I report it, Silver City will definitely intensify the search for Brother. Brother’s life will definitely be in danger.”

Thinking of this, Hank clenched the book in his hand, his eyes solemn.

"I feel like I'll regret it whether I report it or not. So I'll just choose the third way. I'll find a way to find my brother myself.

If my senior brother has succeeded or is about to succeed, I will join him in his research and together we can rebuild the glory of the Dragon.

If my senior brother hasn't succeeded yet, I will help him escape from the Holy See and bring him back to the Silver City to redeem himself.

Anyway, the Sulfur Lake has returned to the Silver City-State, so there is no point for me to stay in the Holy See.

If I want to find my senior brother, I have to go to the Holy See. If Richard is willing, maybe I can take Richard with me and let him go to the Holy See to recover his magic.

This is the way to solve the stigmata shackles once and for all. However, Richard can never come back after this trip." Hank raised his head and stared at the ceiling of the basement in silence for a long time, then he took out an envelope from the secret gap of the magic book.

The envelope was completely white and looked like it was empty. It was not until Hank activated his magic power and focused it on the envelope that a line of words slowly appeared.

To Hank
Take good care of our students.

Witchcraft and magic will be unified, and truth will reappear. For the eternal and great magic. 】

The moment he saw the handwriting, Hank's breathing became heavy. The flames burned brightly, and under the red light, Hank's expression became more resolute.

……

……

boom!
With a snap, Xingge's high heels stepped on the wall next to Richard's face.

Richard shrank his neck, looked at Xingge's fair calves, and was a little flustered. He quickly explained:

"Lord City Lord, I have been behaving myself recently and have not done anything. I haven't even gone to the club."

"Behave yourself?" Xingge glared at Richard fiercely, then took out a book from his arms and read: "McConnell's corrupt hands were not only dishonest in the sulfur case, but also extended to the military.

He once purchased 3 [Individual Stealth Silent Tactical Transport Vehicles] from his family's company at a price of 1000 Jin Dao Le per vehicle.

According to him, this transport vehicle does not use any magic power and can be operated by a mage with one hand, which can greatly improve the mage's individual load-bearing mobility.

But in fact, this so-called tactical transport vehicle is nothing more than a cart with a better appearance, and its cost is even less than 1 gold knife.

In addition, McConaughey spent 600 million gold knives to buy 9 black goats that were said to have magical powers for magic experiments, but he did not get any experimental results, and the so-called black goats disappeared after the experiment.

他还在两年时间里共花了330万金刀乐给飞行人员买了391个咖啡杯，平均下来一个杯子要12800金刀乐，折算下来相当于3名城主府普通职工的月收入总和，甚至还有10000金刀乐的定制马桶圈和1360金刀乐的军用吸奶器。

It can be said that McConaughey's corruption has reached the point where he has no bottom line and does whatever he wants.

Even the five-star city lord Xingge commented: "Silver city-state parasites like McConaughey deserve to die, they must be severely punished!"

Come on, Richard, tell me, when did I ever say that?

"This... hehehe... isn't this just making some money off your name? If you add this sentence, sales will at least double."

"You dare to use my name to cheat without my consent? You are looking for death!" Xing Ge was furious.

"I was wrong! The money from selling books is all here. I will hand it all over. Lord Mayor, please calm down." Richard apologized while taking out his purse, feeling sad at the same time.

"Lord City Lord, you don't know that I have no magic power now, and no one wants me to do other jobs. Even my writings are not read by anyone. I can only use your fame to find something to do.

Please look carefully. Although I used your name, I didn’t make it up. You really made such a comment!
Think about it carefully. You said in your military supply speech at the City Lord's Mansion on September 16 last year that the military parasites who embezzled military funds should be punished severely! Isn't McConaughey such a parasite? "

"What... I..." Xingge was stunned. She gave so many speeches every year, and most of them were written by others. She couldn't remember everything she said.

Seeing Xingge's hesitation, Richard, who was well prepared, immediately took out a crystal ball.

The crystal ball played quickly, and soon it came to the part where Xingge cursed the army's parasites.

Seeing this crystal ball with irrefutable evidence, Xingge fell silent.

After a long time, she glared at Richard fiercely. Before she could speak, Richard begged for mercy: "Lord City Lord, I know that my actions without your permission are extremely wrong and have a bad impact.

I am willing to accept all your punishments and refund the customers who have already purchased the books."

Xingge was silent for a long time, then asked viciously, "Why do you have my speech video?"

"Of course I bought it." Richard said immediately: "I have collected all the videos of your speeches in recent years that I can collect. I have studied those videos repeatedly, and now I can recite your speeches by heart.

Every night when I can’t sleep and miss you, I’ll take out those videos and watch them.”

"Pervert." Xingge looked at Richard with disdain: "You can fall asleep after reading this?"

"It made me even more sleepless after watching it," Richard answered honestly, "but I was able to fall asleep afterwards."

Xingge:?
"What do you mean?"

"Nothing." Richard rolled his eyes and pretended to be dumb.

Xingge's anger somehow subsided. She snorted coldly, put down her beautiful legs, and asked softly, "Let me ask you, why did you go to retrieve the files of the sulfur case?"

"Catching the trend!" Richard smiled brightly. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. I have accepted the fact that I don't have magic, but I don't plan to give up magic completely. After all, my first half of life was closely connected with magic, and I used to love magic the most.

So I plan to be a reporter in the field of magic. This way, the magic knowledge I have accumulated will not be wasted.

But there are thresholds to becoming a journalist, and this corrupt official directory is how I crossed the threshold. I made a bet with reporter Donald that if the sales of my corrupt official directory reached the target, he would make an exception and recommend me to the editor-in-chief of Silver Age Weekly.

If I succeed, I will be able to join the Travel City Silver Age Weekly branch."

"Become a reporter? So suddenly?" Xingge looked at Richard curiously and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to be a reporter? I haven't heard you mention it before."

"Ahaha." Richard lowered his head shyly, looking away, not daring to look into Xingge's eyes. "Here's what I was thinking. If I can get the job successfully, maybe I can strive to be your accompanying reporter and stay by your side forever."

"You!" Xingge paused, glared at Richard, and said angrily, "I don't like being exposed to other people's surveillance, so I have never had a reporter accompanying me."

"Ah? You didn't?" Richard lowered his head in disappointment. "Sorry, I thought... that would count..."

"enough."

Richard was interrupted by Xingge halfway through his words.

"Since you're begging me so hard, I'll give it a try. I hope you can succeed and become my first personal reporter."

Xingge turned around and said coldly:
“You should sell those books, and I will ask the Ministry of Culture to help you promote them.

Remember, this is just one time, and it won’t happen again.”
