Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 178: Little Monster

Saint Laurent Prison.

Richard stood on the wall of Saint Laurent Prison and looked south.

Ding!
A blinding light rose up and rushed straight into the sky, illuminating the sky. The starlight and moonlight were completely suppressed by this white light.

In Richard's eyes, dark gray lines of rules extended on the ground, spreading from the center of the Travel City to the northern suburbs.

At this moment, the line of rules that was deeply rooted in the northern suburbs was slowly converging.

The departure of each rule line means that a piece of land in the northern suburbs becomes ownerless.

When the line of rules retreated past Saint Laurent Prison, Richard immediately raised the city lord's token in his hand representing the warden of Saint Laurent Prison.

In the blink of an eye, in the basement of Saint Laurent Prison, gray rules began to spread wildly!
These lines of rules have been suppressed for a long time, and they devour the land left behind when the Travel City withdrew like wolves and tigers.

Long-term oppression has made Saint Laurent Prison particularly hungry, and its territory is expanding faster than the City of Travel is retreating.

Before Richard could notice, the territorial expansion of Saint Laurent Prison had already caught up with the retreat of the Travel City.

When the last gray line retreated into the border, the entire northern suburbs was included in Saint Laurent Prison.

Richard closed his eyes and silently felt the connection between Saint Laurent Prison and the northern suburbs.

The earth's veins wriggled like blood vessels beating in the heart, and all kinds of terrain became the property of Saint Laurent Prison. On the building panels of Saint Laurent Prison, many buildings with special requirements for terrain appeared out of thin air.

For example, water wheels had to be built beside the river, biogas distillation huts and potion gardens had to be built in the swamps, etc. At the same time, many wild mining areas that could not be used by Saint Laurent Prison began to be swallowed up by the swamps bit by bit.

"Quack!" Frog-fish men holding spears jumped on the lotus pods in the swamp.

The swamp lotus pods will shrink immediately when touched by the frog-fish man's toes.

If it were any other creature, it would be caught by the swamp lotus in this way, then dissolved into nutrients in the digestive fluid of the swamp lotus and absorbed by the swamp lotus.

But the frog-mercan's skin and flippers are naturally designed to adapt to the swamp, and the swamp lotus has no effect on the frog-mercan.

Even if a frogman's feet were wrapped in a swamp lotus, his slimy skin could easily slip out of the swamp lotus.

Crossing the pond formed by swamp lotus pods, the frog-fish people fell into the mud.

One by one, the swamp hydralisks suddenly emerged like spear traps buried deep underground, aiming their huge and ferocious mouthparts at the frog-fish-men.

Swish, swish, swish. The swamp hydralisk's mouth was filled with tough biting muscles, but these biting muscles were simply unable to tear the frogfish's skin!
If someone observes carefully, they will find that there are faint lines of law on many frog-fish people, and these lines of law closely connect the frog-fish people together.

The attack received by a frog-fish man was not concentrated on himself, but was evenly distributed to all the frog-fish men around him.

This causes the Swamp Hydralisk's attacks to appear powerful but actually weak.

Whoa!

At this moment, the attacked frog-fishmen waved their spears and began to fight back. When the frog-fishmen's spears landed on the swamp hydralisk, a magical power emerged from the bodies of all the idle frog-fishmen and blessed the frog-fishmen who launched the attack!
With the blessing of rules, each frog-fish man seems to be a separate individual, but in fact it is a whole.

When the frog-fishmen launch an attack, the strength of all the frog-fishmen is concentrated on those frog-fishmen who launch the attack, thus causing several times the damage.

When the frog-fish people are injured, part of the damage will be transferred to the uninjured individuals, so that the frog-fish people who should have been seriously injured will only be slightly injured.

This is the power of the Heroic Soul Army.

Under the clearing of the frogfish, the hydralisks living in the mire died one after another, and soon the mire was cleared out. The severely injured frogfish retreated outside the mire, sat on the ground to rest and slowly recover from their injuries.

The remaining frog-fish people moved the body of the swamp hydralisk away, dug the ground with their spears, and soon dug out a shiny gem.

At the same time, Richard, who was in charge of Saint Laurent Prison, suddenly had an idea and contacted the frog-fish troops who were going out to fight.

In his eyes, a shining spot of light appeared on the vast swamp map, and a gem mine was instantly connected to the supply warehouse of Saint Laurent Prison!

"Hmph... go." Richard's mind moved, and the skeleton soldiers who had been waiting around the quagmire immediately entered the quagmire under the protection of the frog-fish people and stationed in the gem mine together.

The skeleton soldier parasitized by living brain worms skillfully raised the pickaxe and hit the exposed gemstone deposit hard.

Duang! Duang! Duang!

Amidst the flying sparks, a gem from the gem mine fell.

But before the gem fell to the ground, it was taken away by a mysterious force and entered the material warehouse!
Seeing this scene, Richard slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes gradually became excited.

"It's exactly the same! This world has some special rules that are unique to it, making it very much like the game in my world.

When Saint Laurent Prison occupies the territory of the swamp, as long as resources are collected in the resource area, they will be transferred to the resource warehouse.

The troops composed of the Heroic Souls can march freely within the influence of Saint Laurent Prison under my command, without the need for anyone to lead them. "

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and shouted in his mind:
"Greenham."

"Hmm? Brother Richard?"

"it's me!"

"Hmm! Really big brother? Big brother, why are you in my mind?"

"A new function of Saint Laurent Prison. From today, as long as we are in the northern suburbs, we can communicate directly through Saint Laurent Prison.

Green Ham, I just found a gem mine. Go build it up and increase its output."

As soon as Richard thought of it, the location of the gem mine immediately appeared in Green Ham's mind. He even knew clearly how to get to the gem mine and what to pay attention to along the way.

"Ahaha! Really detailed. I feel like I can get to that point even if I just leave my mind alone. I understand, boss. Leave it to me. No problem."

"Yeah." Richard nodded, and another name was called in his head.

"Mohammed."

The magicians of the Academy are proud explorers of the knowledge and laws of the natural order. The Academy society pursues wisdom and knowledge, and the mages will spend their lives learning and writing mysterious research papers.

The Academy Clan is composed of wizards and mages, and the Academy Clan's declaration is that all mysteries will be understood and mastered sooner or later. 】

Mohammed, who was rapidly learning the language and history by relying on his knowledge of the language, was perked up by the voice in his head and quickly stood up.

"Teacher Richard!"

"Although I am your teacher, I have many students. And I don't have many brothers. So I still hope you can call me boss."

"Boss Richard."

"Hey, Mohammed, I have tested the fighting power of the Frog-Mercury Army and they are very good. But I suspect that under your leadership, they can be even better. Go find the Frog-Mercury Army and lead them to fight once."

"Yes! Boss!"...

……

After giving the order, Richard opened his eyes, took his book, and went straight to the underground prison.

He stood at the door of the underground prison.

Originally, he still needed to slowly crawl in along the dry well. But after Saint Laurent Prison acquired the land in the northern suburbs, the prison has become more active.

With just a thought, he passed through the underground passage and arrived at the cell.

Richard first came to the prison of the Hunter Mother.

In the prison of the Mother Hunter, there was only a ball made of green light floating in the air.

There is a translucent film outside the sphere, and inside the film a emerald green life form is sleeping quietly.

This is the Hunter Mother who is being reborn.

Compared to Odyssey, the Hunter Mother provides more experience each time she is arrested, probably because her own rules are stronger.

But because of this, it took the Hunter Mother much longer to regain her ability to escape after being arrested than it did Odyssey.

Richard observed the condition of the Hunter Mother and confirmed that she could not be revived in the short term, so Richard could only shake his head and go straight to Odyssey's room.

After arriving at Odyssey's room, Richard found Odyssey lying on his back in the pool. His whole body was white and looming, as if he would disappear at any time.

“Alas… At that time, I was only concerned with preventing the Mother of Hunter from attacking the city wall, and forgot that there was a prey in Saint Laurent Prison that was the most beneficial to the Mother of Hunter, and it almost caused a disaster.

Fortunately, Doggo took precautions, otherwise everything would have been lost, and both the Hunter's Mother and Odyssey would have been gone."

Richard said this while spreading his hands out flat.

His fingers moved slightly, and a translucent glass bottle appeared in his hand. The bottle was filled with clear liquid, in which a dim red moon was floating quietly.

This is the part of the Bottled God Odyssey that was swallowed by the Mother of Hunters.

After the Hunter Mother was arrested once, this part also fell out and returned to Richard as a trophy.

Richard threw the bottle containing Odyssey into the pool. In just a moment, Odyssey sank into the pool and completely dissolved and disappeared in the pool.

After a moment, Richard turned and left. Behind him, Odyssey was slowly waking up.

The Odyssey CD is ready, wake up, don't sleep any more, it's time for you to jailbreak.

……

……

Thirty minutes later, Richard felt a surge of energy pouring into Saint Laurent Prison.

Da Lan, who was already on the verge of advancement, roared and his figure grew taller again. His skin turned a little darker from ice blue, and his whole body was as hard as an ice sculpture.

Around him, all the ice elements revolved around it and constantly transformed the innocent water elements in the air into ice elements.

Level 2, Rank 5, Lord of the Frost! His strength has surpassed that of a 4th-ring mage, and is very close to that of a 5th-ring master.

With this strength, Da Lan is already qualified to lead a legion of about 500 people in the army.

Feeling Da Lan's advancement, Richard smiled with joy.

His silver star spun, and the magic of words fell on Da Lan through the air!
Now in Saint Laurent Prison, his casting distance is unlimited! As long as it is in the corner covered by Saint Laurent Prison, his magic can reach it in an instant. This is also the change that has occurred after Saint Laurent Prison became a formal city.

After ordering Da Lan to learn writing from Mohammed, Richard turned his wrist and a small seal appeared on his hand.

This seal is the rule that dropped from this Odyssey.

"It seems that because Odyssey has been arrested too frequently and too many times, he has become more and more stingy. Who can use these rules?

Don’t learn from the mother of some hunters.”

Richard shook his head and did not keep the seal to accumulate a big one. Instead, he threw the seal directly into the dungeon!

At that moment, an incubation pool was added next to the room where the [Logistics Brainworms] were produced, which increased the weekly output of [Logistics Brainworms] by 20 and greatly accelerated the production speed.

“It’s not enough, absolutely not enough.

Now that Saint Laurent Prison has become a formal city, the entire northern suburbs are waiting for me to develop. With these living brain worms, even mining is difficult."

Richard shook his head.

There are two options for now.

One is to find ways to continue to fleece Odyssey, increase the production of logistics brain worms or allow the logistics brain worms to advance again.

The second is to hire some intelligent life forms from the City of Travel to serve as the logistical support for Saint Laurent Prison.

Now Xingge and Richard have entered the honeymoon period, so even if Richard makes a big fuss, Xingge won't mind.

"The first method is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the results may not be good. The second method is better.

But the second method always has a problem - there is no way for people who are not approved by Saint Laurent Prison to enter Saint Laurent Prison.

The only way to get them into Saint Laurent Prison is to turn them into jailers.

However, the number of prison guards in Saint-Laurent Prison is limited, and it is impossible to give them to these unimportant logistical units.

Even if I am willing to give it, this amount of quota is just a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, the posts inside Saint Laurent Prison can only rely on the logistical brainworms. If we hire people, we can only let them do some field chores such as mining in the mining area..."

Richard picked up a pen, did a rough calculation, and then frowned.

“No, the labor costs in Travel City are high. Even if I hire those unwanted refugees to mine, the cost may be far greater than my profit.

Tsk, this is so annoying. Can't the Travel City have more slaves who can work all the time just by eating?"

Ah!
Wait, there really is!
A light bulb suddenly lit up in Richard's mind.

Little monster!
The most hardworking worker in the entire Silver City!
The Gremlins are actually magical creations created by the wizards of the Silver City to conduct magical experiments on captured garden elves, but they are smarter and more docile than garden elves.

This magical creature is the most basic unit in the mage's army. They are usually good at using incendiary bomb launchers to carry out long-range attacks on the enemy. Because these launchers are very hard, they are used as metal clubs by the little monsters in close combat.

In addition to combat, the Gremlins can also participate in most of the logistical activities of the Silver City, including mining!
