……

"No need!"

Matthew hurriedly and unequivocally refused.

The water in Hessoshan Prison is so deep that even ordinary legendary mages may not be able to eat it.

Matthew is very self-aware of himself.

At the moment, it would be good to run the Rolling Stones Kingdom and the Gold Coast with this strength and energy.

A behemoth of this level.

Even if he could smell the oily smell, he didn't dare to touch it in the slightest.

When Hera heard this, she immediately complained:

"Then tell me, among the Seven Sages, which one can eat Hesuo Mountain?"

Hera's words were somewhat abrupt.

But Matthew was quick to react.

The other party should refer to the issue of the privatization of Hesuo Mountain, which has been in a uproar in the past few years.

The Silver Council has discussed the change in the nature of the management of Hesso.

In that controversy.

The parliament eventually agreed to the permission for the privatization of Hesso.

However, the embarrassing thing is.

No one has taken over this place at all!

Matthew hadn't joined the league at the time, so he wasn't impressed by the issue.

However, after becoming a member of the Silver Council a while ago, he relied on his authority to find a lot of information and come to see.

Some of these memories are still relatively fresh.

The fundamental reason why the management rights of Hessoshan were pushed out for sale by the Silver Council and have not been taken over so far are-

The maintenance of this fortress is too high.

comparatively.

Running Hessoshan requires compliance with the most draconian prison laws enacted by the Coalition hundreds of years ago.

The Act imposes a set of rules on prison operators that are difficult to generate economic benefits.

As a result, the operation of the Hesuo Mountain Fortress is extremely cost-effective.

Plus this prison has been going on for hundreds of years.

Many of the old prisoners had long since been drained.

But for some reason they did not die, but had to be treated in prison.

The economic benefits that these prisoners can generate in prison cannot cover the costs of controlling and feeding them.

This phenomenon has been around for a long time.

In the final analysis, it is the characteristics of the wizarding world -

The cost of imprisonment for transcendent criminals is staggering, and there is a risk of unrest from time to time.

Few years.

The Silver Council's budget for Hessoshan is getting tighter and tighter.

This has led to many law enforcers beginning to take on private work unscrupulously.

Even a warden like Alexander had to get involved in various transactions in order to save money and reduce expenses.

Matthew is actually an example.

The knowledge points he handed over to Alexander must have been laundered into genuine alliance gold coins by the latter through various means.

It is not known whether the gold coins were used by Alexander to keep the prison running or whether they were used to enrich his own pockets.

All in all.

Hessoshan is a confusing and complicated account.

Its status quo is also inseparable from the internal structure of the alliance.

Matthew only found out after he joined the Silver Council.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Seven Saints Alliance, which is incomparably imposing, is also a grass platform team in itself.

This alliance was originally founded by the seven powerhouses who followed the Scourge Mage.

They had made various covenants at first, but at that time they were all verbal agreements, and the power structure, the division of territory, the distribution of duties, the allocation of resources, and so on were all vague.

The situation has improved in the last 100 years.

But as long as they go through the accounts of the Silver Council, a discerning person will find that in essence, the Seven Saints Alliance is still supported by the most powerful group of legendary mages.

It's no different from when it was first created.

This phenomenon may be counterintuitive.

But in Matthew's opinion.

This is also the inevitable result of the extraordinary power of the wizarding world being attributed to one person.

So, in a large sense, the existence of the Alliance is a burden for the legendary mages.

Especially the Seven Saints.

Without the alliance, they might have been able to make more money.

And their power and power will not be diminished in the slightest.

So from the point of view of absolute rationality.

Disbanding the alliance and going their separate ways is a better choice for the Seven Sages.

However, under the persecution of external pressures such as Tianlun Palace.

Far from dissolving, the alliance has gone from a loose structure to a closer relationship.

Matthew guessed that the Seven Saints would most likely be able to see the situation clearly.

They are also willing to spend money to support the Union.

But what about the legendary mages outside of the Seven Saints?

Even if the Seven Sages themselves are willing to spend money, spending more is also a flower, and spending less is also a flower.

There are no specific limits to this account.

And in the context of war and confrontation, the alliance will add many additional expenses.

As the spokesperson of the Seven Holy Wills, therefore, the Silver Council would naturally be inclined to tighten the existing budgets in other areas.

It is not only the Hessoshan prison that has suffered from budget cuts.

The same goes for other Union utilities.

It's just that the repercussions are not as violent as those in prison.

Come to think of it.

Matthew couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Hera.

He knew that Hera's position was special, and that when Alexander was around, she could act freely and carefree;

But once Alexander ran away.

She naturally became the temporary warden of Hesuo Mountain, and the pressure fell on her all at once.

Hera is no matter how powerful.

She's also just a construct.

She doesn't really have much background in the league.

She's not even one of Isabel's people, she's an outright outsider.

Hera lacked the experience and ability to deal with other mages, and her ability to make money was estimated to be far inferior to Alexander's.

As everyone knows.

Economic problems are the root cause and foundation of many problems.

No wonder Matthew felt much more comfortable than last time as soon as he entered Hesuo Mountain today.

By this time he had already reacted.

Compared to before, Hesuo Mountain has at least closed more than half of the anti-magic force field!

This is actually a red flag.

And so on.

Matthew is really worried about whether the Hesuo Mountain Prison will become a Black Wind Village......

But he didn't have anything powerful to do it.

In the face of Hera's chattering complaints.

While expressing sympathy for the impotence of love, Matthew also tentatively mentioned:

"What about Ronan and Qin Wuyue?"

"Will they take Hesso?"

"I remember they had just taken over a prison, also in the South."

Hera held her head in her hands like a human, and her face was full of distress:

"You mean the Gausstian prison?"

"That's different, that's the territory of the night elves, and it's very ...... with a lot of oil and water."

Matthew bowed slightly.

He actually had a similar opinion to Hera.

The former is a transliteration of the Elven language, which represents a narrow place in the context of the Elven language;

The latter refers to the special shape of the valley, which is said to have been built on the fossil of a giant ancient snail.

It was a prison that housed the most vicious prisoners.

The most famous of these is none other than the Changeling Lord Gasliwen.

Previously, Snail Valley was defended by the Night Elves.

However, after the Blood Moon Strike, the Night Elves presumably secretly reached a round of exchange of interests with the Alliance or the Ronans, and finally handed over the Gothrie Prison to others.

Although the night elves are arrogant and indifferent, they are still more particular about their work.

Therefore, after the Ronan couple took over Gaussley, I am afraid that there will be a lot of oil and water to scrape.

And Hessoshan is different.

Many of the felons here can't even squeeze out the oil residue.

But in order to control them.

The fortress must maintain a constant anti-magic field.

Long-term deficits are inevitable.

"What about Ekmond?"

"Did you ask him?"

In Matthew's impression, Ekmond should be the one with more flexible thinking and bottom line among legendary mages.

Although Suriel is also very profitable, this one eats technical food.

Hera let out a long sigh:

"He gave me advice."

Matthew came a little spirit:

"What?"

Hera said wryly:

"He told me to blow up half of the prison and the prisoners inside."

"But this is clearly not in line with the rules of the league."

"If I dare to do this, you will see me in the remaining half of the prison the next day......"

"Damn, it's all to blame for the old and old-fashioned primeval covenant, which has to support these prehistoric races and evil criminals......"

Matthew's heart moved when he heard this:

"What does this have to do with the Ancient Covenant?"

"By the way, why would the Alliance pay for these felons?"

Hera replied succinctly:

"Because they have their value."

"They are rare animals and a minority group, and some say that their presence increases the richness of the world, and this richness can guarantee that the world will not die instantaneously at some point in the future."

"I think that's complete, but it's clear that the Silver Council doesn't think so."

"The bill that shackles Hessoshan doesn't think about restraining criminals at all, it restrains us workers."

"I've argued with Isabel many times before, and I thought she would agree with me, after all, she's the real murderer, but unexpectedly, this time she didn't agree with me - damn it, there must be secrets hidden among the mages about this prison that I don't know!"

"But when it came time to pay for it, they all became picky and searching, which was really annoying."

Matthew sighed as if he felt empathy.

Hera made a deep impression on him today—the previous times the other party was all unbridled, and Matthew once thought that the human world was nothing more than a backdrop for the legend to experience life.

But now it seems.

She just didn't sit in that position.

You can see it.

Hera resisted the troubles of the warden's position.

But if you really let her go.

She might have to hesitate!

At the moment, her worries are nothing more than the idea of doing a good job of Heisuo Mountain.

If it's really lying flat and rotten.

The other party will definitely not have this attitude.

"I remember the bill says you can't kill those felons, right?"

"They should also be the source of the high cost of Hessoshan."

Matthew groaned:

"Can we turn them into necromantic creatures?"

"I mean, the kind that retains consciousness, of course, can't be a lich, just a little bit of spirituality......"

Hera looked at him suspiciously:

"Are you going to turn Mount Hesso into a necropolis suspended in the air?"

Matthew smirked:

"When I didn't say it."

"Or you might consider freezing them, artificially creating extremely cold environments and glaciers should be cheaper than anti-magic fields, right?"

"Even if the effect of confinement is not as expected, you can make up for it with the Forbidden Demon Bracelet or other facilities."

"If we can recruit a few volunteers from the water elemental plane, maybe we can reduce the cost to close to zero......"

"Of course, you can pack the low-threat prisoners separately and sell them as different assets, the only requirement is that the buyer must ensure that the prisoners are alive and do not cause trouble, and this part should be able to return a mouthful of blood......

"That shouldn't be a violation of that law, right? If you're really going to do that, I can consider taking the pressure off of it for you......"

Hera looked at Matthew in a daze.

Matthew looked a little creepy.

His voice faded into silence, then stopped:

"What's wrong?"

Hera shook her head:

"You're a natural natural warden!"

"I think you're better suited to eat this bowl of rice than Alexander, why don't you really apply to the Alliance?"

Matthew shook his head like a wave.

Hera looked regretful.

Immediately, he took out a pen and quickly wrote on the paper:

"I'm going to write down everything you just said as a reference."

Matthew shrugged his shoulders and saw Hera engrossed in contemplating the future of Mount Hesso.

He had to take the initiative to remind the other party of his intention:

"I'm here today for three main reasons."

"First, although the Queen of Giza has run away, her oral supply should be there, and I hope to be able to get a copy."

"Second, I'd like to get all the information about a jailer named Rambo, who owes Miss Soulrell a sum of money and is about to repay it, but he is nowhere to be found."

"Third, I want to visit a prisoner named Hux."

Syllable!

Hera was rather bold in throwing Queen House's file bag to Matthew.

Then there was a string of magic keys that glowed with colorful brilliance.

She said without looking up:

"The information of the jailer is in the archives, you can find it yourself."

"As for prison visits, theoretically they only last one minute, and you have to pay extra money, but for the sake of the advice you just gave me, you can stay in prison as long as you want, as long as you don't let people run away!"

Matthew took the magic key.

Hera was still writing something on the paper, muttering to herself from time to time.

After his unilateral farewell.

He left the warden's office.

Ten minutes later.

Repeat Offender Zone.

Bang!

A rusty cell door that had not seen the light of day was suddenly opened by a great force.

"Hux is here!"

"Don't die inside!"

The sturdy jailer who led the way was clearly of giant blood, and he walked with the entire floor shaking.

Although the other party's tone was fierce, Matthew didn't feel any malice, so he nodded slightly.

The half-giant left silently.

Matthew approached the door and held up a candle.

The scene in the cell was accompanied by the stench of staleness.

The display inside is simple.

One bed, one toilet.

Nothing else.

Matthew soon found a skeleton-like figure in the corner of the room.

The figure stared blankly at the candle.

Suddenly.

Tears welled up in the man's eyes!

"Hux?"

Matthew asked tentatively.

The next second.

An extremely difficult voice rang out:

"Is my son going to die?"

"He's not even forty years old......"

Matthew was shocked, knowing that something had changed, Ai Xue. Rez may not be as simple as he expected!

At that moment he asked in a deep voice:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

The figure slowly stood up, her skin was dull like a dry corpse, her eyes were godless like a dead spirit, if it weren't for the amazing perception, Matthew wouldn't have been able to judge her gender at all!

The White Rock traitor named Hux said in a hoarse voice:

"Because of the Oblivion Charm, no one in the outside world knows of my existence - not even the jailers of Hessoshan don't know who I am, they can't even remember my name."

"My son is the only one in this world who remembers who I am and knows that I am here."

"I made a pact with him that you wouldn't reveal my existence until you died, but now you have taken the initiative to find me, and you have successfully found this place, which means that the Oblivion Curse has failed, someone has leaked the news, and that person can only be my son."

Hux lamented with great sadness:

"He must be dead, or facing a dying situation."

"Tell me, what's wrong with my son?"

Matthew thought for more than a dozen seconds.

Suddenly, he said:

"I want the way the Necronomicon is made."

Hux didn't hesitate and directly began to report the name of the dish:

"First of all, the main material, it is best to have Godhead fragments, and the projection of Godhead fragments is also fine.

The second is the auxiliary materials, Moon Shadow Grass, Silver Tooth Eight Leaves, Netherland Black Locust, Golden Dragon Dew, Beast Fang, ......"

……

I've had diarrhea, I've been running the toilet, I'm numb, I'm less words today, woo......
