The warden who guards the witches

The next morning, core area corridor.

Sophie, wearing prison uniform, mopped the floor in the corridor of the prison - Aiden specially assigned one of the cleaning duties in the prison to one person to separate her from other prisoners.

After mopping half of the corridor, she washed the mop and looked back at the prison guard who was watching her at the end of the corridor: "The warden is so proud that he actually came to monitor me at work?"

The person who was monitoring her was none other than the prison's top leader, Warden Aiden. Just now, when Sophie was almost starting to work, Aiden suddenly walked over in person and asked the guard who was watching to take charge. In other posts, I started to stand here and stare at Sophie.

"Don't be lazy and work hard." Aiden replied expressionlessly.

"Let the popular actress from the autonomous prefecture clean the floor. This prison is quite stylish." Sophie joked.

"Singers and actors are just professions. Just because someone is following you doesn't mean you are superior to others, especially after you go to prison...here, you are nothing but prisoners. If you really want to say it, a popular actress mopping the floor is not as good as a real cleaner." "Professional." Aiden replied calmly, "But you seem to be quite skilled at doing this. I thought this kind of chore would be more difficult for our big star."

"When the stand-in plays me, I sometimes have to play the stand-in. Since I'm playing a maid, I can't have no housework ability at all." Sophie said while mopping the floor, "Although I can only barely pass the level of doing this. , Susan’s performance is okay, but her singing is not up to professional standards at all. The power of divine words cannot allow us to learn each other’s skills.”

"By the way, your divine words can be taught, right?" Aiden asked.

The effect of this "existence" power makes Aiden a little excited. Replacing himself with someone else can be used for both espionage and life-saving. It will be a very versatile power.

"Order" and "existence" are both superior authorities, and he is the divine word that can learn "existence".

"Sorry, divine words and divinity are not for sale. This is our rule." Sophie turned to look at Aiden, "In the final analysis, Smiling Balance is an organization that uses the privileges of gods to seek benefits. The greatest value of privileges is Rare. Selling power can make huge profits in the short term, but from a long-term perspective, it is risky for the organization. It is more practical to sell information.”

Aiden can understand this rule. Divinity is a limited resource. If you sell it, you will get less. Naturally, it is not suitable for long-term business.

As for the divine words... although there is no additional cost in teaching the divine words themselves, if the divine words mastered by the organization are spread out, the rarity of the divine words they master will decrease. At the same time, it is more likely that a group with the same resources as them will appear in the future, which will undoubtedly increase the possibility of competitors.

So they only sell information. Divinity will not disappear. As long as there are still people in this world pursuing the power of authority, the information related to authority will continue to be updated, and there will always be people who need the information they dig up.

And if one day all those who pursue power disappear, it will be better for them, and the power they hold will become a real privilege that no one else has.

"That's really a pity." Aiden felt quite regretful, "I think your power is quite useful."

"This is not such a powerful power. If it is only at the elementary level, the only thing that can be replaced is the 'cognition' of existence, that is, it just replaces the position of someone or something in the world, and it cannot really change the nature of things. "Sophie paused as she spoke, "So, warden, you don't need to be so wary of me..."

"How can I not be vigilant? If you were replaced by me, not only could you leave the prison in a big way, but you could also directly order all the prison guards." Aiden narrowed his eyes, "And I guess the effect of being replaced can affect your understanding of existence. It’s not just people, but also objects that are recognized, right?”

In other words, if Sophie replaces Aiden's existence with power, I am afraid that even the prison's boundaries and automatic facilities, and even the amalgam golem that obeys Aiden's orders, will all identify Sophie as Aiden. And then come under her control.

This is actually a power that is extremely threatening to prisons.

"The "Wordless Code" in your hand is far superior to me in terms of status. If I use my power, you can counter me at any time." Sophie stopped what she was doing, "I will not do that kind of thing that seeks death. The stupidity of the road.”

"Even if I want to use that thing to counter you, I have to write on it. It takes time, so it's necessary to closely monitor your every move." Aiden said.

"In that case, you'd better just use the "Wordless Code" to prohibit me from changing my appearance without authorization." Sophie sighed, "With you being so vigilant, I feel like it will be very difficult for me to live here."

"I don't think it's hard for you. Why are you working hard?" Aiden shrugged. "The rules that can be written in the "Wordless Code" are limited. It is specifically designed to restrict you from occupying one of the available rules. Wouldn't it be a big disadvantage? Why don't you explain more? I want to know the information, maybe I can relax the supervision on you as appropriate."

"That's all valuable information. Is the warden trying to induce me to pay a bribe?" Sophie looked at Aiden.

"A prisoner hopes that I can relax the supervision of her. At least he has to prove his cooperation with real actions, right?" Aiden replied without changing his face, "You use this place as a shelter, and I haven't asked you for payment yet. "

Sophie thought for a while, then turned around and continued mopping the floor: "Isn't I already helping you? And giving up too easily is not a good quality for an intelligence dealer."

After several contacts, Aiden found that Sophie would not give up easily once it came to intelligence with a high price.

Either he had to pay a huge reward, or he had to exchange it with Melifilia's intelligence - neither of which Aiden was willing to do.

Of course, Aiden actually had a third choice, which was to use the rules of the "Wordless Code" to force Sophie to speak.

It's just that the "Code" is a double-edged sword. While it works on Sophie, as the holder, he will also tell everything, and Sophie has a certain grasp of the intelligence of the "Wordless Code".

But this does not mean that this plan is worthless...

After mopping the entire corridor, Sophie washed the mop again, and sighed with her hands on her hips: "Oh, I haven't done physical work for a long time, I'm a little tired."

"Just treat it as exercise, mop two more corridors and call it a day." Aiden commanded.

"Warden, you're not going to spend the day with me like this, are you?" Sophie looked at Aiden and teased, "I'm so happy to be accompanied by my idol for a day like this."

"I also have work to do. Someone will come to watch you in the afternoon." Aiden replied.

That's right, just... change someone.
