  Chapter 38 secret mastermind    Because it was almost 8pm when we arrived at the restaurant, Ash naturally didn't You can order the limited Lala fat food, grab a few meat dishes and sit down to cook.

"Is the food delicious after the victory?"

Ash lifts the head and sees Varkas sitting across from him holding a glass of water.

"To be honest, these leftovers are a bit cold, and Lala Fat has been ordered by you..."

"You can go and order food, you win I have 37 contribution points, so it's not too much to spend a point or two to reward myself?"

"Huh? Order food? Spend contribution points?"

"Don't you know? That's right, you just came in for two days." Varkas pointed to the menu sign next to the restaurant: "You can order food at any time, not limited by the restaurant's supply on the day, if it is not free time, the restaurant will also deliver food to the bedroom. ——As long as you spend your contribution points."

Ash realized that the menu sign was an order menu, he thought it was a face project of the restaurant - leader, you see, we provide so many dishes here Woolen cloth! There is really no deduction of prisoners' rations! The    order list suddenly looks cheap, and any three dishes add up to only 1 contribution point, such as 'Seafood Lala Fat' + 'Butter Chicken Fettuccine' + 'Mist Spinach Quiche' Popular delicacies also only need 1 contribution point, and you can basically eat a delicious meal.

However, each death row inmate only has an initial contribution of 50 points, which not only automatically deducts 10 points every month, but is also a necessary bargaining chip for applying for deathmatch. And the lower the contribution, the more advanced the trial sequence, and the easier it is to be named to participate in the live variety show 'Blood Moon Trial'.

Therefore, the contribution degree in the prison not only represents the currency in circulation, but also the life limit of the prisoner. The consumption contribution degree is no different from chronic suicide... Maybe there is, that is, chronic suicide, you don't know when you are If you die, you can watch your life limit become less and less by consuming contribution points.

“There aren’t many tricks to play in prison, but if you want to spend your contribution points, you can definitely spend it.” Varkas said: “Hair care, custom prison uniforms, buying specific toiletries ...you can even spend your contribution points to get a better bedroom, three bedrooms and two living rooms with windows, and the rent is 1 contribution point for 1 day."

"1 contribution point for 1 day? Crazy Well, no one would live there."

"Yes, 'Diamond' Tiger has been living in that VIP suite for several years, his contribution is so much that he can't spend it all, there are always fools The newcomer will give him contribution points. If 1 contribution point is equal to 1 gold coin, Tiger in prison may be richer than outside."

Ash raised his eyebrows, " In other words... in the prison's evaluation system, we prisoners are only worth 50 gold coins?"

"You think it's too little?"

"A lot?"

"Most ordinary persons who have not received higher education can't earn 50 gold coins in their lifetime, and even a spellmaster who is barely doing it can't earn it. If they have 1 gold coin in their annual salary, they can earn less than 50 gold coins in Kaimon City. I've lived a good life."

Ash finally understood the true value of the gold coin in his arms, and also realized how dark this prison was - three meat dishes cost a person a year's salary ! Is the Lala fat in the relationship an Academician graduate?   "I suddenly feel that the leftovers are quite fragrant."

Varkas snorted, just looking at Ash quietly.

Ash ate for a while, and finally couldn't help but say, "Mr. elf, I'm the type that can't pee when someone looks at me."

"Shhh. ~shh~"

"I'm just making an analogy, you don't have to whistle to go along with me!"

"I thought youngsters like to pee while eating." Varkas smiled, and then his expression returned to indifference: "I'm talking to myself next, most of which are just nonsense, if you hear it, it's better not to hear it."

Ash slightly startled.

“Schilling Dole, in addition to being the president of the Kaimon City elf Racial Rights Association, a member of the Kaimon Council, and a university professor, he also has a hidden identity—one of the backers of the Woodpecker Gang. He on the In order to protect the interests of other races, surface will oppose the Blood Saint Race and Moonshadow Race senators, but he has already secretly made many secret deals with the Blood Moon senators. The woodpecker gang is his black glove, and the mayor of Kaimon, Fernandez, can take office. , and to his credit."

"The Four Pillar Gods cult has been around for years and has been almost vanished, save for a rumour with no evidence - in an archaeological excavation of the Eastern Ruins eight years ago, There are rumors that some important ritual books about the Four Pillar Gods cult were unearthed. In the same year, the eastern ruins were hit by the Void Realm storm, and most of the archaeological results were destroyed."

"He chaired the archaeology of the eastern ruins that year. Professor Schilling Dole is the main guidance counselor in the excavation team of To die alone means that that person has information that is crucial to him, and if it is leaked, it will cause him great losses."

Varkas took a sip of water to moisten his throat and glanced at it. Ash.

"Theoretically, most of the death row inmates in prison have already had their memories searched. If there is any information, they will definitely be found by the crime department... Unless someone's memory has not been found."

It turned out to be so.

Although Ash still doesn't know about his relationship with that Professor Schilling, he fully understands why Schilling is trying to murder himself - he thinks he has a secret that hasn't been revealed yet!    Because of the Four Pillar Gods cult, the Guilty Hunting Office did not dare to look up his memory, so Ash Heath became the only inmate in the prison who still had a secret!

It's Schilling's luck because Heath didn't leak his intel;

It's also Schilling's misfortune, because Heath could report him at any time!

One thing to say, if Ash really knew this kind of secret, he would definitely report it to the Crime Hunting Office right away.

It's not that he's a bad embryo who harms himself and others, but he's a little curious about Schilling and wants to become close cellmates with Schilling, if there is an opportunity to collide passionately in the deathmatch arena. even better.

But the problem is -- Ash really doesn't know Schilling's secret!   The memory of the original owner Heath, he didn't even absorb a drop!

Sorry, Ash also wants to use Heath's memory to help the crime court bring the bad guys to justice.

After all, there are so many people who break the law, why am I the only one arrested! ?

It's a pity he doesn't know anything.

What's even more irritating is that others are afraid of him revealing secrets, so they have to do everything possible to get rid of him!   But he doesn't know anything!    This feeling is like when I was a child, I didn't steal anything, but I was wrongly accused by my teacher of stealing my classmates' stationery.

"Hey, haven't you left yet? Didn't you hear me talking to myself?" Varkas stood up and said, "That's it for today, I'll talk to you when I have time. Stormy."

"Really?"

"Haha just kidding, I don't have time, you don't have brains."

"Wait Varkas ." Ash stopped him, "Why are you helping me?"

Although Ash felt that Varkas would give himself some information because he lost to himself, this gift was completely different from what Ash imagined. ——He thought that Varkas would throw a cruel word at him, something like 'I'm the weakest of the four kings of darkness, it's useless for you to beat me, our people will trouble you soon' or something like that.

Ash didn't expect Varkas to be so blunt when he betrayed him. When he beat someone, he still had his own moral correction?

"I'm not helping you."

Varkas shook his head.

"I just want to cause some trouble for that bastard in Schilling."

Harming others without benefiting oneself is indeed a very reasonable reason, Ash strikes while the iron is hot and asks: "Then do you know Any idea if there's a way to trade spells in prison? If I can get a few sword technique spells, I have a chance to cause Schilling major trouble-"

"None of my business."

Ash was choked and decided to take the caring route: "By the way, Varkas, you failed to kill me this time and lost to me, will you have any trouble-"

"mind your own business."

"Then you have to tell me what Schilling will do with me next, right?"

Varkas glanced at him, left a sentence and left.

"The next time you meet, you'll know Schilling's methods."

Ash thinks that Varkas's reason for being imprisoned has nothing to do with his bad breath. Riddler attributes are inseparable.

But now he can at least be sure of one thing: the secret mastermind of all this must be Heath's former university professor, elf scholar Schilling · Dole!   Ash did not continue to linger in the prison after the meal, hurried back to his bedroom, and shouted directly.

“Sword Princess? Are you there?”

“Yes, but not quite.”

Sword Princess sat on the bed with her legs crossed, deep The black silk outlines the arc of lithe and graceful, resting his chin on his palm, squinting at Ash.

"Is something wrong?"

"You reminded me in the death fight just now, didn't you?"

Ash extend the hand, palms appearing to touch his stomach hu hu big sleeping 'stand-in' spell.

"The chip is still restricting my mana output, but why can I activate the double spell?"

"Isn't it obvious - you understand the knowledge of the double spell, and then Coupled with the right conditions, you can directly trigger the spell resonance, and the spell will automatically play a role in affecting reality. Other death row inmates want to motivate the spell in prison, and this method is also used."

Although Ash has heard a lot of times, but I can't help but be amazed at this phenomenon: mature spells can actually cast their own spells.

"But how did I understand the 'double' spell?" Ash was still puzzled: "I didn't learn anything about the double spell."

"You did. , I understand."

Ash was stunned for a moment, then suddenly recalled the words Sword Princess reminded him.

"Is it because of this sentence? 'If you feel pain, treat yourself as someone else, so it won't hurt'?"

"That's right." Sword Princess nominated: " When you understand this sentence, you naturally understand the spell. Basically, spell is a collection of knowledge, and when you have spell, even if you don’t take the initiative to learn, the knowledge of spell will actively pursue you.”

"It's that simple?"

"It's not simple." Sword Princess shook her head, "Understanding knowledge and understanding knowledge are two different things... If you weren't in the Extremely dangerous, the body riddled with scars, the meaning is close to dissipated, and it is impossible to resonate with the substitute spell. Just learning is not enough, empathy is a necessary condition to understand the spell."

Ash looked towards the substitute on the palm of the hand. spell , trying to use consciousness to go deep inside spell.

This time is a little better than last time, Ash can understand the information flow of the spell feedback, but still can't understand its structure. If spell is a dish, last time Ash didn't even have a sense of taste and couldn't taste spell at all; this time Ash could taste spell, but I don't know how it was made.

"You can understand that spell is already the limit, as long as you don't hand summon's Life Source spell, you can easily find its hidden Gate of Truth."

Sword Princess can see at a glance What he wants to do: "It must be a spell born from the knowledge you have before you can find its Gate of Truth. The spell you get from other sources, no matter how well you understand it, is not yours after all."

"The truth must be pure and perfect, with no tolerance for the slightest flaw."

The truth is really strict.

Ash retracts the spell and looks towards Sword Princess.

"Why did you disappear for a long time?"
