Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 91 Escape from Danger
In the Yasa world, there are some active metals that have life.
They can grow and reproduce themselves by devouring other energy substances like normal organisms.

Ordinary active metals have very obvious metallic characteristics, such as metallic luster, metallic hardness, and the room temperature stability that metals should have.

They devour the surrounding matter to grow at a very slow rate, usually taking dozens or even hundreds of years, and are harmless to humans and animals.

However, among active metals, there is a special metal called flesh and blood metal. Their appearance and texture are very similar to the flesh and blood of normal organisms. They can also complete self-growth by devouring the surrounding energy and matter.

But their growth rate is tens of billions times that of normal active metals!
A piece of flesh and blood metal that is about the size of an adult can absorb a large amount of energy within three months and produce dozens of new flesh and blood metals the size of babies.

These "baby metals" can grow into adult individuals and have the ability to reproduce in less than 3 months.

This means that it only takes half a year for flesh and blood metal to reproduce a generation, and the number of each generation will be dozens of times that of the previous generation.

Anyone with a little mathematical sensitivity can understand how exaggerated this growth rate is.

The growth of flesh and blood metals cannot be achieved out of thin air, they also need to eat, that is, they need to absorb enough matter and energy from the surrounding environment.

Since the elemental density of metal itself is relatively high, it takes about 1 cubic meters of ordinary soil to form 10 cubic meter of flesh and blood metal.

A wizard has calculated that if there are no restrictions on the flesh and blood metal and it is allowed to reproduce on its own, it will only take 20 years for the flesh and blood metal to devour the entire Yasa world.

Due to the horrific properties of flesh and blood metals, they are also called the Cancer of Yasha and have always been strictly controlled.

Of course, flesh and blood metals also have many advantages, such as being cheap, highly malleable, and having a texture that is no different from that of humans.

Once upon a time, there was a country called Shachima in the Yasha world. Many mages in that country were researching flesh metal. They legalized flesh metal by restricting its reproduction ability, and used it to create flesh machines that looked exactly like humans. These flesh machines were cheap and practical, and they made Shachima's productivity soar rapidly.

Then, Shaqima was completely destroyed because of the failure to control the flesh and blood metal. The entire country was completely devoured by the flesh and blood metal, and all the creatures living around the country died.

From then on, the entire Asian world reached a consensus, and almost all countries explicitly stipulated that any group or individual who privately owned, used, produced, or researched flesh metal would be a serious crime, with a minimum sentence of three years and a possible death penalty.

Even Richard had not expected that he would find three adult individuals made entirely of flesh, blood and metal in this tube building.

Richard was not sure of his own judgment, so he just spoke to test the waters.

But the little girl's hysterical screams were tantamount to confessing her guilt.

"Don't shout. I'm not a guard mage. I won't do anything to you. I'm just an ordinary mage with more knowledge."

Richard reached out his hand to cover the little girl's mouth, trying to buy time and avoid a conflict.

But as soon as his hand reached the little girl's mouth, she bit him hard, forcing him to pull his hand back.

The three little girls showed obvious fear on their faces, and they ran away from Richard, opened the door, and ran out one after another.

"Shh! That hurts. That girl may not look very tall, but she's quite strong."

Richard checked his hand and found a deep red tooth mark on it.

Richard endured the pain, shook his hands, and chased after the three girls with big strides.

At the same time, the magic alarm in his trouser pocket also made a buzzing sound, alerting Iluna and the others outside the field that the situation had changed and asked them to come quickly.

Richard opened the door and was surprised to find that the originally quiet corridor had changed. The red magic light on the ceiling flickered on and off over and over again. The shrill alarm sounded in the corridor.

beep beep~
Under the red light, Richard was surprised to see many dark shadows approaching the corner of the corridor. At the same time, he heard a strange clicking sound.

The sound was very noisy and did not seem to come from the same source. It seemed that many things were approaching and had completely surrounded him.

Just when Richard was feeling uneasy, suddenly a strange thing jumped out from the end of the corridor!
It looks like a trap, but it has two huge glass eyes on the trap. At the same time, the trap has curved limbs like a frog, which allows it to jump quickly like a frog.

The crackling sound Richard heard was made when it bounced.

"This is undoubtedly a mechanical creature that I have never seen before. It looks a bit like a mechanical frog. I don't know how powerful it is in combat."

Richard did not dare to act rashly before he figured out the specific capabilities of these mechanical frogs. He looked in the other direction of the corridor, where many mechanical frogs also appeared.

Their eyes were locked on Richard, and they were leaping towards him with determination.

"Tsk."

Realizing that he was surrounded, Richard turned back to the room without hesitation and closed the door tightly.

There are mechanical frogs on both sides, and this seemingly dead end room actually becomes Richard's only way out.

"Jump out the window!"

Richard reacted quickly. He rushed to the curtains in the room without hesitation, grabbed them with both hands and pulled them open.

There was a swish sound, and the curtains were pulled open. What appeared in Richard's eyes was not the window he had imagined, but a sealed wall.

There was an extremely strange picture painted on the wall.

A huge celestial body was hanging in the air. The celestial body was round in shape and completely white. It was made up of a large number of mechanical parts, among which flesh-like tentacles could be seen from time to time.

The celestial body hung high in the sky, opening a single eye. It emitted a sharp white light and scanned the earth. The look in that single eye was extremely cold and emotionless, as if this mechanical moon was a god looking down on the world.

On the ground, many ragged humanoid creatures were kneeling on the ground, with their hands raised high, worshiping the mechanical moon.

There was a round altar among the believers, on which was also painted the image of a blood-red moon. On the altar's offering table was tied a goat with extremely black hair all over its body.

The goat lay peacefully with its limbs curled up, looking very well behaved.

"This is……"

Richard looked at the mechanical moon in shock.

At this moment, he felt that the white light in the moon's eyes seemed to flash suddenly, causing his eyes to hurt a little.

He quickly closed his eyes and covered them with his hands. After the pain eased slightly, he slowly opened his eyes.

Ah!
Richard's eyes widened in shock. The picture on the wall had changed to another one. The moon hanging in the sky was no longer a strange mechanical moon, but a bright and peaceful blood moon.

The people worshipping the sky on the ground were no longer ragged people, but a group of mages dressed in gorgeous clothes and with upright postures. What shocked Richard the most was that the black goat on the altar also turned into a mermaid sitting sideways with her eyes closed.

If it was someone else instead of Richard who was here, he might think that this was the mysterious power of God and be terrified by this strange mural.

But Richard can't. He's a wizard!
"There is no God, no master. Knowledge is power, power is freedom. The world is a solvable mystery!" After silently reciting the wizard's creed, Richard took a deep breath, and the silver star in his soul began to spin.

First ring magic bee swarm nuisance, summons bee swarm.

A buzzing sound came from Richard's head. A group of tiny bees suddenly appeared.

They kept circling above Richard's head, waiting for Richard to point out their target.

The killing power of these bees is actually very limited. They are not real bees. Instead, they are elemental bees that are constructed using magic to resemble bees.

If you really rely on these elemental bees to fight, it would be difficult to kill even a dog on the roadside. After all, the name of this first-ring magic is Bee Swarm Nuisance, not Killer Bee, and it is not mainly based on lethality.

Richard's purpose in summoning these bees was not to rely on them to fight.

Just when those bees appeared, the spell ring in Richard's soul vibrated, and another ring of magic suddenly lit up!
"I cast the first-level magic [Sacrificial Fire] on one of my elemental bees!
[Sacrificial Fire] will ignite the bees after 15 minutes. If it can kill the bees, it will immediately cause a large-scale explosion effect!
Then I sacrificed another elemental bee on the field, causing the [Sacrificial Fire] on that elemental bee to skip the waiting period and take effect immediately!

If anything weird is found, it will be blown away!

Mixed with the sourceless fire of anger, burn this strange mural to ashes."

Boom, with a loud bang, a ball of fire exploded in front of the blood moon on the mural!

The mural was more fragile than Richard had imagined. A corner of it was shattered by the explosion, and thick smoke rose up.

When the smoke cleared, Richard saw that there was a hole in the mural that had been blown open, revealing many broken mechanical circuits.

The magic power that was flowing flickered and jumped repeatedly on these mechanical circuits, causing a series of small explosions inside the mural.

Richard glanced at the gap in the mural and made a quick judgment.

The gray steel wall moves the mechanical circuit. This building is a highly integrated intelligent mechanical building, and it is very expensive. The change of the mural should be a magical effect. It is really a trick!

Richard looked towards the exit and could vaguely see the lights outside through the gap.

“Iluna told me that if there was an emergency, it would only take them one minute to reach my location.

They're coming soon, and I can't fight the criminal gang in this building.

A good man never suffers a loss, run! "

Richard once again released the sacrificial fire on the two bees and let the bees drill into the mural.

For the walls of gray steel structures, the power of internal blasting is much stronger than external blasting.

Boom! Boom!
There were two loud bangs in succession, and the entire mural was completely shattered into pieces. The strong wind outside rushed in, blowing Richard's hair into a mess.

Zizi, at this moment, a sound of electric current came from behind Richard.

The driver who brought him here appeared on the screen.

Half of his face was close to the screen, his brows were knitted, and he shouted at Richard with gnashing teeth: "VIP No. 116, you really went too far. You have violated our taboo once. I forgave you with tolerance and kindness. But you actually spied on us again and again.

I told you already, being too curious is not a good thing.

Now, you've pissed us off. You're not leaving Mineral Town alive today! I'm telling you!"

Bang!
As soon as the driver finished speaking, the door behind Richard was smashed to pieces by a brute force. The mechanical frogs that Richard saw in the corridor swarmed in and poured into Richard's room.

At this moment, their eyes, which looked very similar to glass, had turned bright red and their jumping speed had also increased a lot.

Seeing those mechanical frogs rushing towards him, Richard smiled slightly, looked at the screen and said:

"Look at what you said, it makes me feel like you are deliberately picking a fight, isn't it you who have broken your promises time and time again?
I came here to play with you and you tried to mark me with that weird slime.

I paid real money, but you guys tricked me with fake goats and pearls.

Even at the end, you still wanted to deceive me by using flesh and blood machines to disguise yourself as a decent little girl.

Any act of private possession and use of flesh and blood machines is illegal, and having sexual relations with them is of course included.

If I had any substantial relationship with these flesh and blood machines, I would have been tied to your pirate ship. Fortunately, I was knowledgeable enough and did not fall for it.

Can you please tell me who is the one who is going too far?"

"Damn you, VIP 116. Can't you be as stupid as the other mages?

What I hate most is you smart people! Since you insist on showing off your knowledge and wisdom in front of me, I can only dig out the things in your head and make them serve me. "

The driver's eyes on the screen were red and the bloodshot was extremely obvious.

Crack, crack, crack. A large number of mechanical frogs rioted and rushed to Richard.

They opened their trap-like bodies, jumped up at high speed, and clamped towards Richard's hands, feet and head.

Richard was not panicked at all. He suddenly took off his cloak, swung it hard, and shot down all the mechanical frogs that jumped in front of him!
"Sorry, I have no interest in fighting your minions.

Goodbye. I hope the next time we meet will be in the prison I am most familiar with. "

Richard smiled carefreely, leaned back, and jumped out of the hole in the wall.

With a whoosh, a giant gargoyle with a green face and fangs swooped down from the sky and caught Richard!
The first one to arrive at the battlefield was not a member of the Dome Mage Corps, but the Warden's most loyal guard!
　I have gout and my feet hurt. This may be the price I pay for not keeping active recently. Woo woo woo.

　　As I get older, my physical fitness declines significantly.

　　Dear book lovers, please take good care of your bodies. Don’t be like hamsters and ruin your body by having an irregular schedule while you are young.
