The warden who guards the witches

"Why did the female prisoner have to be locked up for five days just because she hid a bottle of medicine?" After leaving the core area, Veronica asked Aiden beside her while holding a tray of contraband.

This raid found a lot of things. Most of the people found only hid one or two contraband items. Only Fei'er took up almost one-third of the "goods" on the list, but even so, Aiden only locked her up for one day.

But prisoner 3340, who only hid a bottle of medicine, was asked by Aiden to be locked up for five days. This is a bit like favoritism.

"You asked this question, which shows that you have the intention to take the initiative to find out. Very good." Aiden first praised Veronica, then turned around, "I only showed you the list, but I didn't have time to tell you that different contraband items have different levels of danger, and correspondingly, the punishment will be light or heavy."

"The degree of danger... Is the degree of danger of drugs higher than that of blades?" Veronica was a little surprised.

During this inspection, a prisoner was found to have hidden a carving pen knife, but Aiden only put her in solitary confinement for two days.

"The rules of the core area are a little different from those of the ordinary prison area. Knives of that level cannot be used as weapons in the core area. Think about it, if someone threatened you with a pen knife when you were in prison, would you be afraid?"

Veronica thought for a while: "I would probably break the other person's nose first..."

With the overwhelming physical strength of pure-blooded werewolves, ordinary people would have no chance of winning even with a proper machete, let alone a pen knife.

"That's right. The core area is basically full of dangerous people. A knife can't cause much trouble. However, dangerous goods must be strictly controlled. But medicines are very dangerous no matter which prison area they are in. The problem is much more complicated than other contraband."

"How should I explain this?"

"First of all, medicines can be used to poison, and they can also be eaten to disguise symptoms - this is more difficult to detect than using tools. Secondly, there are some magic potions that can provide magic power. If they are given to prisoners in the core area whose magic power is sealed, they can temporarily restore some of their strength. Finally, there are many prisoners in this prison who are addicted to drugs. For these people, some drugs can not only become hard currency, but also a means of controlling them. It just so happens that the drugs brought by 3340 are addictive. This is hard to say that it is a coincidence." Aiden said slowly, "Do you know why prisoner 3340 was arrested?"

"Why?"

"It's illegal business. She sells the medicines she made outside."

"Selling fake medicine?"

Aiden shook his head: "No, it's real medicine. The medicines she made are all real, even some magic potions with special effects, and some of them are even purer than those produced by pharmaceutical factories. But some of the medicines she sold were controlled, and she couldn't get a license, so she was arrested and sentenced to six months, three months for illegal business, and another three months for possessing black magic of unknown origin."

"Is she... a witch?"

"She confessed that she was a wandering alchemist, but she is very likely a witch, and she is proficient in magic potions."

In this world, although magic is not a rare thing, not everyone can learn it, especially the black magic controlled by the convention. Basically, only the army and armed organizations like the Inquisition can teach and use it under certain management.

The astrology and blessing studied by witches are not prohibited, but the black magic and magic potions they touch will make them targeted by the Inquisition. The typical characters in this prison are the witch Daly who is good at summoning demons, and the necromancer Arsenal who studies psychic and necromancy.

This is also the reason why prisoner 3340 was thrown into the core area.

"So, she is dangerous?" Veronica still didn't quite understand.

"Did you notice that when I questioned prisoner 3340, many prisoners looked over?" Aiden suddenly said.

"Indeed..." Veronica thought about it, and then suddenly realized, "They are paying attention to people who can bring drugs into the prison!"

"Yes, the supervision level of drugs is very high, but the woman still succeeded in bringing drugs in, which shows that she has some channels or means. Mix the drug powder into food or items, and then use professional means to re-prepare it. In this case, it is difficult to find out, and we cannot completely prohibit the circulation of items in and out of the prison. This shows that she has the ability to become a 'drug boss' here. This is a terrible resource in prison." Aiden said, making a gesture of counting money, "A resource that is more useful than money. With this, she can cultivate her own power in prison."

"But her sentence is only half a year..." Veronica muttered in a low voice.

She couldn't figure it out. For a person who only needs to stay in prison for half a year, is it necessary to make such a big move as Aiden said?

"Even if it's only one month, you can't let your guard down." Aiden said seriously, "especially for prisoners in the core area."

After contacting so many prisoners, Aiden has accumulated a considerable degree of professional smell.

Although it was just intuition, he felt that the woman who seemed polite on the surface was not a simple person.

The woman's obedience and politeness revealed an elusive smoothness. Aiden actually didn't care about the prisoner's attitude towards him at all. He had come into contact with too many Zaun prisoners who would greet their eighteen generations of ancestors.

Be it polite or foul-mouthed, he only cares about whether the prisoners follow his rules.

And prisoner 3340, as soon as he came in, began to test the restricted area, which made him instinctively alert. This surprise inspection was originally aimed at the habitual offender Fei'er, and finding prisoner 3340 can be said to be an unexpected gain.

So he directly gave the other party a warning first, and then threw a five-day confinement. This is a show of power and also a test.

"I understand." Veronica nodded with a learned look, but suddenly raised another question, "By the way, sir, why is this contraband?"

Aiden turned his head and was stunned-Veronica was holding the vibrating crystal that she had searched from Fei'er.

"I found that it can vibrate by itself." Veronica put it on the edge of the tray and knocked it. The crystal immediately began to vibrate regularly, and then Veronica grabbed the crystal and squeezed it hard, and the vibration stopped again.

"Uh, you..." Aiden put on an awkward but polite smile, "Really don't know?"

"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen this kind of toy, is it dangerous?" Veronica asked innocently.

"When you have time, ask Flanda, she's more familiar with it." Aiden scratched his brow and threw the question to his subordinate.
