Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 95 Macedonia's Political Sensitivity
The mineral town, the underground sewers, and the darkest and most hidden corners of the city were filled with a disgusting stench.

This is where all of Mineral Town's garbage and wastewater ends up.

In the dim environment, only a few weak rays of light came through the well on the ground, making this gloomy space less monotonous. The walls were covered with slippery moss and mold, and the air was filled with an indescribable stench.

Going deeper into the sewer, the stench became stronger and stronger, almost suffocating. The ground was full of stagnant water, with all kinds of garbage floating in the water, rags, mud, rotten food residues and even the bloated corpses of animals and humans.

"Huh...huh..."

In the darkness, there was a sound of suppressed breathing. A figure leaned against the wall, his chest rising and falling painfully.

The pipe on the wall was constantly dripping with sewage. A drop of foul-smelling water just happened to fall and hit the figure's lips, causing the figure to vomit violently.

"vomit!"

The figure retched several times, just enough so that his face was illuminated by the glow falling from the wellhead.

That face was exactly that of the taxi driver who brought Richard to Mineral Town!

The driver retched for a while, leaned his body against the wall, and slammed the back of his head against the slippery wall to keep himself awake.

He breathed heavily, pressed his hands on his chest, and pulled his clothes off his chest.

On his chest, where his heart should have been, was replaced by a square mechanical head!

The mechanical head was roughly a human face, with eyelashes, eyes, nose, and mouth all clearly visible. But there was a green fluorescent mermaid painted on the left side of its face, a green fluorescent goat painted on the right side, and a bright red circle on its forehead, which looked very strange.

The driver glanced at the head on his chest and said in a tone of awe and admiration:
"Mom, we've escaped. If we go a little further, we can jump into the Garbage River and completely leave the Mineral Town and enter the Mechanical City in the southern suburbs.

When we get to the Mechanical City, I can buy parts to rebuild your body."

The eyes of the mechanical head on the driver's chest slowly lit up with green fluorescence. After a rustling sound, a strange voice that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female came from the head.

"Don't worry. Your body is still in an incomplete state and is not compatible with your soul. If I leave you hastily, you won't survive.

In two days, when your body is stable, we will take action.

The wolfhounds of the Xingyue Society have discovered us. We have to act with caution and can't act as recklessly as before.

Don't go out and buy the parts yourself.

I'll give you a delivery note in a moment. You can take it to the exchange in Nanjiao Machinery City and give it to any delivery person. Someone will prepare my new body for me."

The driver was a little worried: "Mom, we have been exposed now. Will the organization that cooperated with us before continue to help us?

I was afraid they would cut off contact with us out of fear of being implicated by us.

Based on my experience living in the slums, those officials are all greedy and afraid of death, and they forget their principles when they see profit. They are very active when collecting money, but when they really encounter problems, they are more cowardly than anyone else. "

The mechanical head on the driver's chest jumped oddly.

"You don't have to worry about that. When the Xingyue Society just set out and hadn't even entered Mineral Town, they had already cut off all regular contact with us.

Hey, they're really quick. I'm afraid they've already prepared to cut off our relationship.

But it was not so easy to take our money. When they confiscated our Golden Knife Music, they were the boss and we were afraid of them.

They took our Jin Dao Le, we are the boss and they are afraid of us.

Just follow my instructions boldly and they will cooperate.

You have performed well this time. When we are out of danger, I will let you get what you want. Do a good job."

"Yes! Mommy." The driver put on his clothes, opened his mouth and wiggled his tongue left and right. At this moment, his expression no longer showed fear of the unknown, but was full of excitement. He was like a fanatic who had been promised by the gods.

……

……

beep...

The steam train wobbled to a stop in front of Saint Laurent Prison, and the huge constructed gargoyle, Verdant, swayed back to its seat and sat side by side with another gargoyle.

Green Ham waved to Macedonia and skipped towards Saint Laurent Prison. After being tired, he couldn't wait to have a little wine to relax his body and mind.

Richard closed the car door and smiled at Macedonia:
"Brother Macedonia, thank you for your hard work every time I have to trouble you to send us back."

"Oh, no. It's not hard at all. It's an honor to escort my future boss home."

Macedonia leaned against the car window with a smile and asked:
"Warden, you are not in a hurry to go back, right?"

Huh? Richard subconsciously raised his eyebrows when he heard Macedonia's question.

When someone asks you a question in a rhetorical tone, it usually means that he or she hopes to get a positive answer.

So Richard replied:

"Of course. I'm not in a hurry, Macedonian brother."

Macedonia raised his eyebrows and said:

“There is something I want to tell you.

I reminded you some time ago.

The Lord of Xingge City has carried out a massive raid on various clubs in the City of Travel and has offended many dignitaries. Those dignitaries may attack you in order to strike back at the Lord of Xingge City.

You should remember it, right? "

"Of course I remember that because of your reminder, I was extra careful during that period. Truth bless you. So far, I haven't encountered any major problems. It seems that those powerful guys did not choose to retaliate against a small person like me."

"Yeah, they didn't choose to retaliate against you, that's the problem."

Macedonia said pointedly:

"I know the bad habits of those powerful people very well. They value their own interests and power more than their lives. Because they can pass these interests and rights on to their descendants.

The Lord of Xingge City's attack on the club was a test and provocation of their interests and power. For those powerful families, this behavior had touched their bottom line, and they could not help but retaliate.

I originally thought that they might do some insignificant little things to disgust the City Lord Xingge, which would only hurt her face. Taking action against you would be the best option.

But it turns out that they didn't do that - then they must have retaliated in a more substantial way.

The group of people from Mineral Town started soliciting customers in the central area of ​​Travel City just after the Star Song City Lord raided the club.

Mineral Town happened to be located in the abandoned mining area of ​​Karen, which was the family business of the Lord of Xingge City. Mineral Town itself was able to exist because of the leniency of the Lord of Xingge City.

Mineral Town is involved with dangerous flesh machines.

Combining these three points, Warden, have you realized anything?" Richard suddenly realized: "Macedonia, you mean that the flesh and blood machines in Mineral Town are the revenge of the powerful people in Travel City on Xingge?
They want to use dangerous flesh and blood machines to make Xingge bear the responsibility of poor governance and bring her down?"

"Maybe it's not as simple as getting him out of office, but maybe he'll be killed directly." Macedonia said faintly:

"The radiance of the City Lord of Xingge is too bright and too conspicuous. Her mere existence has blocked the path of many people to rise.

So many people hate her.

But her background is too strong.

Even the serious mistake of the Saint of Chastity lurking in the City of Travel for three whole years did not result in any punishment for the Lord of Xingge City.

If I were the city lord, such a serious mistake would be enough to make me step down dozens of times!

Perhaps only a large-scale natural disaster like a bloodbath with countless casualties could cause the City Lord of Xingge to bear the heavy responsibility that even her parents could not suppress.

I think someone in the upper echelons wants to kill the Lord of Xingge City. We just happened to be involved.

Of course, this is just my guess and cannot be relied upon.

But if my guess is correct, then this wave of storm is really too big.

Targeting Xingge means targeting the two permanent members behind Xingge. If you want to kill Xingge, you have to drag the two permanent members behind Xingge down with you and kill them together.

This may involve a struggle between several permanent members, which is not something that ordinary people can touch. We must stay away from it."

"Hiss..." Richard had a headache.

"How did a third-rate gang in Mineral Town that engaged in illegal trading of reproductive rights gradually become a terrifying flying knife aimed at the two permanent members?
This is too much of a rise.

I was thinking that you might be overthinking it, but after thinking about it carefully, I think you have some truth. Brother Macedonia, if it is true what you guessed, what should we do? "

"Hahaha. Not a big deal. 'What to do' is your problem, not mine."

Macedonia shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile:

"I'm not a lonely ghost who needs to choose sides. I'm the master's private soldier. I will take the same attitude as the master.

The Lord of Xingge City is only the student of the Master. The teacher-student relationship is not like a blood relationship that cannot be loosened. The Master may not necessarily stand on the side of Xingge's parents. Of course, how to make the decision is the Master's business.

If there is a real internal conflict among the permanent members, I will naturally lock horns with the eldest master and fight for him."

Macedonia gave Richard an ambiguous look.

"I am like this, simple and innocent. You are a little more complicated.

You are not only the master's private soldier, you are also the savior of the Lord of Xingge City. In the future, you may even become her sweetheart or even her husband.

You have one more option than us. If you don't want to follow the master, you can switch to Xingge City Lord and cling to the support of Xingge City Lord's parents."

When he said this, Macedonia covered his mouth in a very pretentious manner.

"Oh, the advice I gave you is a naked betrayal to the master. It is extremely disrespectful."

"I just wanted to remind you that I am loyal to Maher Changren, so you can't talk nonsense." Richard knocked on the roof of the steam train with his staff and cursed.

"Hahaha, then Warden, just pretend that I didn't say anything. Haha, I'm leaving now. Warden, we can talk again when you're free."

Dudu!

Macedonia blew the whistle and ran away, leaving Richard disheveled in the wind.

Richard scratched his scalp and felt that his scalp was so itchy, as if it was going to grow a brain.

"What should we do? Who knows? Let's take it one step at a time. When a car reaches the mountain, there will always be a way; when a boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight."

Richard shook his head and gave up thinking.

"I am a little clever, but I am not good at scheming. I really lack the political sense to take sides.

But no matter what, it’s never wrong to make yourself more valuable.

If I were a demigod at this moment, it would not be me who was considering how to stand on the side, but the permanent members who were considering how to win me over.

I am good at magic research and having a strong memory, so finding ways to continue to improve my strength is my best choice."

Thinking of this, Richard felt a sense of urgency.

He strode towards Saint-Laurent Prison.

"Welcome home, Warden!"

"The warden is in charge of the prison, eradicating evil and suppressing disobedience!"

The two gatekeeper gargoyles shouted excitedly as always, flapped their wings and took off, lifting up the heavy gate.

Richard spread his hands in embarrassment. "Sorry. I went out hunting but didn't catch anything and came back empty-handed. Next time! I promise to bring you fresh female prisoners."

After saying hello to the two gargoyles, Richard rushed to the underground cell deep in Saint Laurent Prison without stopping.

As soon as he entered the underground prison, a huge blue zombie ran over with a table filled with various tools.

"Warren, you're back." The big blue zombie put the table in front of Richard and greeted him honestly.

"Where are the prisoners I gave you? Are they still alive?"

As Richard spoke, he picked up the gloves from the table and put them on, then put on his white coat and tied a belt full of scalpels around his waist.

"They're all alive and very fresh. Da Lan wanted to eat them, but Warden said we couldn't eat them, so I didn't. Hehe."

"Well done." Richard buttoned the last button, held the magic notebook, and said with a twinkle in his eyes, "Let's go! Take me there."

"Yes."

Da Lan staggered towards the depths of the underground prison, and Richard quickly followed behind him.

After spending some time together, Richard no longer found the smell of the foul-smelling zombies in the underground prison unpleasant, and even felt vaguely familiar with it.

When he smelled this scent, he felt much more relaxed than when he smelled the scent of those flesh and blood machines in the Mechanical Building.

Soon, led by the big blue zombie, Richard came to a dark cell.

In this cell, there are ten parasitic demons with red skin, which look like babies but have huge eyes like frogs and red wings on their backs!

These ten parasitic demons are not residents of the Silver City-State, but abyss creatures from the distant abyss country Sheogh!
There were twelve of them, but two of them had become nothing but dried skin hanging from the prison.
