What did Hood want?
Or rather…
What did Alexander want?
Matthew was deeply puzzled.
The servant led Matthew through the hall. When they passed by Alexander, the latter even raised the glass in his hand to Matthew and drank it in one gulp with a smile.
He did not speak.
Matthew nodded.
The entire hall was silent. Matthew could only sense their breathing and gazes, but no one said a word.
This strange atmosphere created quite a bit of pressure for Matthew.
The pressure was finally relieved when he saw Hood.
The latter gave Matthew a hug.
"Thank you for trusting ."
Matthew said softly,
"I hope you can explain it clearly. I don't want to go to Black Suo Mountain to visit prisoners in the future."
Hood laughed.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Matthew looked back at the n in black.
"Why aren't they talking?"
Hood explained,
" Including Alexander, the people of Black Gold are practising the 'Silence Commandnt.' This is a cultivation thod that was passed down from the 'Monastery of the Ten Commandnts.' It was once popular in the Far East and so cities in the North.
" Before they leave Aindor, they can't say a word. Rambo is the only exception."
Matthew glanced at the data panel.
Hood was telling the truth.
" I noticed that they were all trembling. Was it because they were nervous?"
Matthew asked as he walked in.
Hood patted Matthew's shoulder.
"No.
"It's because I'm excited.
"They'll set off tomorrow night at the latest."
As they spoke.
The two of them ca to a courtyard outside the hall.
As soon as they entered the courtyard.
Matthew felt a strong sense of danger.
Very quickly.
He locked onto the source of the sense of crisis.
It was a relatively stable dinsional rift, probably caused by the invasion of the Abyssal Vile Land.
The crack had traces of being artificially solidified as if it had been built into a teleportation portal.
It seed to be Hood's handiwork.
"Teleportation Gate? Set off?"
Matthew was puzzled.
"Where are they going?"
Hood pulled Matthew to the side and sat down. He ordered a few beautiful apprentices to serve delicious food and wine. After indicating for Matthew to help himself, he slowly said,
"This matter has to start from the turmoil in Hot Spring Prison.
" You must have heard about the Hot Springs Prison. This riot happened around the ti we were heading to Cross City.
" I only found out after the incident. When we were defending Cross City against the teor shower that the God of War had brought, a God had actually descended in the Hot Spring Prison!
" At that ti, in the Hot Spring Prison, there were about a few low-level gods who successfully descended on the snow maidens. In addition, nearly twenty powerful angels descended at the sa ti.
" These people from the fringe of the Heavenly Palace took advantage of the second generation War God's attention and secretly took the risk to descend. However, they didn't know that the reason why they were able to successfully form a relationship with the snow maidens was actually because of Alexander's deliberate guidance.
" A long ti ago, Alexander knew that the snow maidens 'physiques were very suitable for use as vessels for the descent of gods. This ancient race was once created by a Supre God using himself as a template, so it has a very high compatibility with the marks of the gods.
" In the early stages of the Descent, Alexander had already set up a killing trap. Although there were so twists and turns in the process, one of the descending gods escaped, and the remaining one led the snow maidens to resist for a period of ti, in the end, all of these leaders were annihilated by Alexander.
" Although Alexander did try to reduce the negative impact of this incident, paper can't hide the fire. Soon, he will be held accountable by the Alliance. Soon, he will face the Silver Parliant's lawsuit. The best outco might be imprisonnt for a period of ti."
Hearing this.
Matthew looked surprised.
"Is Alexander so bold?
"He couldn't just be trying to earn so extra money, could he?"
Hood laughed and shook his head.
"Of course, he didn't do it to earn extra money.
" In fact, before he did this, he had already made a comprehensive plan. He knew that he would be held accountable by the Alliance. Therefore, from the mont the gods descended, there was no turning back.
"You might know Alexander, but you don't know him.
"He's the most radical warmonger I know in the Alliance.
"He was Link's student.
"He was more extre than Lady Isabelle when it ca to treating the creatures of the outer planes.
"Many years ago, he had been a high-ranking mber of the Battlemages in the north. However, due to his overly aggressive and bloodthirsty thods, he was eventually transferred to Mount Black Suo as the warden.
"Alexander was a very talented person.
"Anyone who wasn't blind could see the results he had achieved at Mount Black Suo.
"I dare say.
"If soone else were to manage the Black Suo Mountain, which was facing an increasing shortage of funds, the fortress would have been in a precarious situation.
"But in Alexander's hands.
"Black Suo Mountain had always been stable.
"Of course, this is not sothing that ordinary people can do."
Matthew nodded in agreent.
Ever since he transmigrated, he had never felt that earning money was an easy job.
Especially when it ca to maintaining a large foundation, this was completely different from being alone.
"Black Suo Mountain needs him.
" Maybe the Alliance won't remove him from his position as the warden."
Matthew said bluntly.
