Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 25 Angel Statue
The gargoyle said to Richard:
“You must make them sign a fate contract, voluntarily give up their identities in the outside world, serve Saint Laurent Prison for life, and obey the charter of Saint Laurent Prison and the orders of you, the warden.

So they can become jailers at Saint Laurent Prison."

"Ugh!"

Richard looked at the two black-robed wizards and raised his eyebrows:
"It seems that this is incompatible with your current identities. Brothers, do you want to be jailers?

I have just become the warden, and I am in need of talented people! As long as you are willing to give up the tedious work of the Xingyue Society and the City Lord's Mansion and join our Saint Laurent Prison, I promise that you will live a good life! "

The expressions on the faces of the two black-robed wizards were more uncomfortable than if they had eaten a fly, and even looked a little distorted.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer. What kind of idiot would give up his job at the Xingyue Society and follow you?"

"Forget it, Richard, go ahead. We'll be waiting for you at the door. Remember to come back as soon as possible after the handover. Don't keep us waiting too long. We're really uncomfortable staying in this crappy place."

Richard smiled slightly, waved at them and said, "Oh, it's you who don't want to follow me. Well, bye."

coax! !

As soon as Richard made his statement, the two gargoyles immediately loosened their claws, and the heavy stone door fell down with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust and completely blocking the sight of the two black-robed wizards.

Richard raised his brows and murmured in his heart.

“Actually, I’m free like this.

Good thing.

However, it is a bit strange. I am the warden of Saint Laurent Prison, which is equivalent to the highest lord of a city.

Even I can’t bring outsiders into Saint Laurent Prison…Sure enough, this prison is not that simple.”

Richard raised his head silently and looked forward.

In front of him was a spacious courtyard.

The floor of the courtyard was made of pure white marble, with three roads marked on it with black crystal, leading to due west, due east, and due north respectively.

In the center of the courtyard stood a huge statue - the statue depicted an angel bound by chains.

Richard's eyes were involuntarily attracted to the angel's face.

This angel is carved from white jade. Her body has extremely obvious female physiological characteristics and a well-proportioned figure.

She was extremely beautiful, with a gentle and warm expression, and Richard was attracted to her at first sight.

But her wings and body were bound by dark, heavy chains, unable to spread her wings and fly. At the same time, her hands and feet were also shackled.

Looking at the statue, Richard's brows gradually became three-dimensional.

“Statue of a bound angel.

The statue seems to allude to the imprisoned female prisoners.

The angels represent their former beauty and power. The chains represent that they are imprisoned here and have to endure pain and torture.

But there is one thing that is very strange.

Dean Hank told me that many prisons have these meaningful statues, and those representing prisoners all have their heads bowed.

Logically speaking, the head of the bound angel statue should be bowed downwards, so as to reflect the repentance of the female prisoners after suffering so much pain.

But the head of this bound angel statue is raised upwards, with neither pain nor sadness on its face. Instead, it shows high morale and hope.

It was as if she was quietly lying dormant, swallowing her anger, waiting for the opportunity to break free from her shackles. How strange. What prison would want its prisoners to escape? "

He walked around the Bound Angel statue carefully several times and examined it inside and out several times. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was most likely something wrong with the statue.

He searched the angel statue from top to bottom several times, but nothing hidden was triggered, and there was no old lady living in the statue waiting for him to take her away. He just wiped the dust off his dirty hands.

"Oh." Richard sighed and shook his head in disappointment.

He thought about it, and simply took off the lining of his clothes, wiped the entire body of the bound angel statue, wiped it clean, and then left with satisfaction.

After leaving the statue, Richard quickly noticed that a small corner of a buried road sign was exposed on the overgrown lawn behind the statue.

He peeled away the weeds with his hands and saw the words on the road sign.

【True North: 【Prison】

Due west: Resource warehouse Due east: Meeting room

South: Main Gate】

"Wow, there are even resource warehouses and meeting rooms! I can understand the meeting room, but why does a prison need a resource warehouse?

Maher said that the architecture of Saint Laurent Prison was a little too perfect. Now I finally understand what this “too perfect” means.

“Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong with Saint Laurent Prison, but so far no one has been able to discover what the problem is.

This means that the secrets of Saint Laurent Prison must be hidden very deeply and cannot be easily discovered.

I'd better not think about it anymore. I'll just follow the steps to get the ownership of the prison first.

Once I take over Saint Laurent Prison, I'll have plenty of time to study it."

Richard didn't think about it any more and strode towards the prison in the north direction.

The prison of Saint Laurent Women's Prison looks like a dark medieval castle, which fits the old aesthetic of the veteran wizard who likes a heavy historical background.

From a distance, the [prison] looked like a giant beast sitting on the earth. Its huge shadow was cast on the square under the sunlight, swallowing up the bound angel. It seemed as if a giant black beast had eaten the angel clean, which made it look particularly eerie.

The outer walls of the [prison] are made of rough obsidian, and the gaps between the obsidian are filled with rotten cursed soil, making the entire castle look even older and more dilapidated.

There is a stone spire on each of the four corner towers of the castle, and on the top of the spire is a sharp iron fork that seems to pierce the sky.

Throughout the castle, wherever there is a sharp spot, there will be a [Four-Sided Gargoyle] with one head but four faces.

At the slightest sign of trouble, these [Four-Sided Gargoyles] will wake up and sound the alarm loudly.

Even though there were no prisoners, the prison was still heavily guarded.

Richard admired it for a while, then strode up the stairs and headed towards the prison.

On the road, there is a moat with dark oil flowing, surrounding the entire prison.

At the entrance of the [prison], there is a tall and heavy [basalt suspension bridge] that spans the entire moat. This is also the only entrance and exit between the [prison] and the courtyard.

Once the drawbridge is raised, the [cell] of Saint Laurent Women's Prison will be completely isolated from the outside world.

This is a very classical and standard castle craft, which is old-fashioned, serious and inefficient, and is rarely seen in modern cities.
