A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1228: Privatization of Mount Black Suo
No wonder Matthew felt much more comfortable when he entered the Black Suo Mountain today.
He had already reacted.
Compared to before, at least half of the anti-magic force field on Mount Black Suo had been shut down!
This was actually a dangerous signal.
If this continued…
Matthew was really worried that Black Suo Prison would become the Black Suo Gang...
But he didn't have any solutions.
Facing Hera's endless complaints, while Matthew expressed his sympathy that he could not help, he also tried to mention,
"Where are Ronan and Qin Wuyue?
"Will they take over the Black Suo Mountain?
" I remember that they recently took over a prison, which is also in the south."
Hera covered her head with her hands like a human, her face full of distress.
"You mean the Gauss Prison?
"That's different. That's the Night Elves 'territory. There's a lot of money there…"
Matthew nodded slightly.
His opinion was actually similar to Hera's.
Gauss Prison was also commonly known as Snail Valley. The former was a transliteration of the Elvish language, and in the context of the Elvish language, it represented a narrow place.
The latter referred to the special shape of the valley. It was said that the prison was built on the fossil of a huge ancient snail.
The prison was filled with vicious prisoners.
The most famous one was none other than Lord of the Thousand Transformations, Jasliven.
Previously, Snail Valley was defended by the Night Elves.
However, after the Blood Moon incident, the Night Elves had probably secretly reached an agreement with the Alliance or Ronan and his wife and eventually gave up Gauss Prison.
Although the Night Elves were arrogant and cold, they were still quite particular about their work.
Therefore, after Ronan and his wife took over Gauss, they would probably have a lot of money to make.
But Black Suo Mountain was different.
Many of the felons here could not even afford to pay a single penny.
But in order to control them.
The fortress had to maintain a constant anti-magic force field.
Long-term losses were inevitable.
"What about Edmond?
"Have you asked him?"
In Matthew's impression, Edmond was the one with the most flexible thinking and bottom line among the Legendary mages.
Hera sighed.
"He did give me some advice."
Matthew perked up.
"What?"
Hera said weakly,
"He asked me to blow up half of the prison and the prisoners inside.
" But this clearly doesn't conform to the rules of the Alliance.
"If I dare to do this, you'll be able to see me in the remaining half of the prison the next day…
"Damn it, it's all because of that old-fashioned immemorial alliance agreement. Why do we have to keep these prehistoric races and evil criminals…"
Matthew's heart skipped a beat.
"What does this have to do with the Immemorial Covenant?
" Oh right, why would the Alliance pay to support these felons?" Continue your story on novelbuddy
Hera replied concisely,
"Because they have their own value.
" They are rare animals and a minority group. Some people say that their existence can increase the richness of the world, and this richness can guarantee that the world will not instantly perish at a certain moment in the future.
" I think this is complete nonsense, but the Silver Council obviously doesn't think so.
"The bill that shackled Mount Black Suo did not restrain criminals at all, but restrain us staff.
" I've argued with Isabelle many times before. I thought she would agree with me. After all, she's the real murderer. However, unexpectedly, she didn't agree with me this time. Damn it, there must be some secrets hidden between the holy mages about this prison that I don't know about!
"But when it comes to money, they all become stingy again. It's really annoying."
Matthew sighed as if he felt the same way.
Hera had left a deep impression on him today. The previous few times, she had been so arrogant that Matthew had once thought that the human world was just a backdrop for this legendary construct to experience life.
But now, it seemed like…
She just didn't get the position at the time.
He could tell.
Although Hera was very resistant to the troubles brought about by the position of warden, if she really let go…
She might have to hesitate for a while!
At the moment, her only worry was the thought of doing a good job at Black Suo Mountain.
If she really did not care about it…
The other party would definitely not have such an attitude.
"I remember that the law states that we can't kill those felons, right?
" They should also be the source of the high cost of the Black Suo Mountain."
Matthew pondered for a moment.
"Can we turn them into undead creatures?
" What I mean is the kind that can retain its consciousness. Of course, it can't be a Lich. A spirit body with a little intelligence will do…"
Hera looked at him in confusion.
" Are you going to turn the Black Suo Mountain into a floating graveyard?"
Matthew smiled awkwardly.
"Pretend I didn't say anything.
" Or you can consider freezing them. It should be cheaper to create an extremely cold environment and glaciers than an anti-magic force field, right?
" Even if the confinement effect is not as good as expected, you can use the anti-magic bracelet or other facilities to make up for it.
" If you can go to the Water Elemental Plane to recruit a few volunteers, you might be able to reduce the cost to almost zero…
" Of course, you can package the low-threat prisoners separately and sell them as different assets. The only requirement is that the buyer must ensure that these prisoners are alive and do not cause trouble. This part should be able to return some money…"
