Chapter 16: The Flower of Sin Watered by the Human Heart



"Lord York, I respect you because it was you who promoted me to this position. I can never repay you for this great favor in this lifetime.

But Lord York, you really can't blame me for what happened at the treatment plant!"

The Marquis of York laughed in anger: "So according to you, the money allocated by the royal family for purchasing new equipment was embezzled by you, and you still want to blame me?"

Snow chuckled and said shamelessly, "Before the White Tower settled in Tino City, our processing plant was a good place."

"With the elves' equipment, garbage can be processed efficiently. Any apprentice who can master the 0-level spell of the wizard's hand can handle a day's work in one morning without even getting his hands dirty. It will be even more comfortable for those who sit in the office."

"The treatment plant was so prosperous back then. All the important people in the huge city of Tino flocked here."

"There are six daughters-in-law of nobles above the earl level in the city who have been stuffed into the civil service departments. Add to that those who have gained noble connections from nowhere. Which one of them can I offend when I come here?"

"In recent years, the amount of magical waste in the White Tower has increased, and the amount of waste that needs to be handled by professionals has also increased. The labor cost has continued to rise."

"The funds approved are so limited, Lord York. If I don't do this, will everyone starve with me?"

Olivia frowned her pretty eyebrows. This statement didn't stand up to scrutiny.

She shook her head and said, "Please stop flattering yourself by saying you're currying favor with the powerful. Are the labor costs rising?"

"I'm afraid they are afraid that the nobles' descendants will be exhausted, so they keep a bunch of people who are just eating empty salaries, and only a few of them are actually working."

"The National Waste Treatment Plant could have changed its process, spent less money, and eliminated more steps."

"But they decided to give priority to recruiting people from outside the city, just to have more positions so that those Enser people who are having a hard time can survive in Tino City."

"When it came into your hands, it became a business deal, and you're still barking here just to make a living, really..."

Louis looked at the eloquent little swan in surprise.

What a sharp rebuttal.

Previously, he thought the little swan looked a little childish and seemed suitable for face rubbing.

I didn't expect that her counterattack was quite clear and logical.

Things have come to this point and there is no way they can end smoothly.

He thought Snow would plead guilty and be punished next.

Who would have thought that even after being pinned to the ground, this person was still trying to argue:

"This is not my fault. I turned a shell factory into a high-quality institution in the city. Sir, if this matter is investigated further, no one will be able to save face.

This can only end well if I remain in this position."

Louis was shocked.

Princess Little Swan is still here, how dare he shout like that?

Are there a lot of magic waste? Louis, who has no relevant memories, has no idea about this.

But he soon noticed that the Marquis of York's expression had become visibly ugly.

"It seems like it's not a lot?"

The Marquis of York poked Snow's back with his cane, and it seemed that he was so angry that he poked a bloody hole in his body.

"I am happy to announce that you have finally angered me, Snow. Sure enough, how long have you been piling up such a large amount of magical waste here?

One month, six months, a year? Or has it been piling up here since you officially started accepting it?"

It was the first time today that Louis saw a third emotion on the old marquis' face other than the expressionless face and the formulaic smile.

That is... anger! A secret guard half-knelt in front of Olivia and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I have just checked.

The amount of magic waste is extremely huge. Judging from the processing speed of the processing plant, I am afraid that even with the current facilities running at full speed for more than half a year, it will not be possible to process it all..."

Snow was in so much pain that he couldn't even lift his head, but he was still laughing and said, "Half a year? Be brave, it won't be finished even in a year and a half, and don't even think that the elves in the High Forest will send us equipment.

Considering the size of the imperial capital, it would take at least half a year from scratch to delivery of those specially customized equipment!

By then, these unprocessed magical wastes would have already made the imperial capital a mess."

Secret Guard: "The situation is not optimistic."

A smile appeared on Snow's face.

He is the only one who knows the easiest way to deal with this matter.

Louis was stunned, looking at Snow who was laughing, he suddenly felt creepy.

"Do you want to create a big explosion to neutralize the magical waste?" ×2The people who spoke were Louis and Olivia.

The two looked at each other with confused expressions.

Louis thought:

"This little swan is really smart. If the Slavs hadn't done nuclear war operations before, I wouldn't have thought of this."

Olivia was even more confused:

"Hey, why is Huoguo starting to use his brain?"

Only Snow's smile froze instantly.

When everyone saw his expression, how could they not know that this madman really thought so.

For a moment, everyone looked at him with shock and anger, even the factory supervisors looked at him as if they had seen a devil.

Yes.

Just now, a thought flashed through Louis and Olivia's minds at the same time.

The Tino explosion was not simply a problem of untimely waste disposal.

This is a man-made disaster!

It was an intentional man-made disaster!

What followed was the alarm going off in the hearts of the two people who had their own little secret.

Louis: "Oh no, the amount of magic waste that special slimes can digest is limited. The waste left after the explosion and the waste that has not been neutralized before the explosion are probably an order of magnitude different. Danger!"

Olivia: "This is terrible. I thought I had purchased enough slime, but now it seems that it's hard to dispose of the waste after the explosion. Now... Send!"

The little swan only felt his eyelids twitching wildly.

“I’m going to die! Are 23,004 slimes really enough? I hope they all die suddenly because they can’t digest the magic waste.”

It’s not that Little Swan underestimates the slimes’ digestive ability.

In terms of digestion speed alone, slimes and their higher-level evolutions are considered to be the strongest creatures.

But these guys have no wisdom at all and they digest and absorb without restraint!

I'm afraid that by then I'll eat too much magic waste and it will be normal for my magic core to explode.

"It will be a problem whether I can ask Sister Wang for reimbursement by then!"

But what can Little Swan do? She just wants to protect Sister Wang who treats her best.

So even if I can't get reimbursed...

She raised her hands with a look of heartache:

"I have 23,004 slimes here, which can help digest most of the kitchen waste, hazardous waste, and some magical waste."

"I have a slime with specialized digestive functions. I can let it try to digest the magic waste."

Olivia: ...

Louis: ...

"Ah?" ×2 (End of this chapter)
