The guardians of the Land of Contract are roughly divided into two groups. One group is the guardians of the warden. Most of these guardians are drawn from various churches, as well as the descendants of the guardians. They are directly loyal to the warden. The other group is the servants of the "contractors" of all generations, that is, the servants of Diana now. Of course, in name, they and Diana are also subordinates of the warden.
The two groups of people were responsible for different tasks. The guardians' job was very simple, which was to maintain and inspect the seals of the Abyss Prison. Just like the warden himself, he did not interfere with other trivial matters except those related to the seals.
Diana and her attendants are responsible for matters other than sealing, such as transactions with black marketeers and the eating, drinking, and defecation of tens of thousands of people in the Land of Contract. To put it simply, they are more like the stewards of the Land of Contract.
The two parties do not interfere in each other's affairs. The warden does not care what the contractors of previous generations are doing, and the contractors of previous generations will not manage the seal of the prison.
But now is an exception. The warden brought a large number of guardians to Tiansheng's obedience, so all the affairs of the Abyss Prison naturally fell on Diana's head.
That's why Diana asked the question just now as the warden, and then successfully got the answer that she already knew.
The seals of the Abyss Prison were inspected every 100 years. Diana was not even born when the last inspection was conducted. This was not because the people of the Contract Land were too lazy, but because the inspections were too time-consuming, with thousands of seals. Therefore, even if the eight major churches provided support together, the inspection frequency could not be too high.
Moreover, now that two of the eight major churches are missing, future support will be further reduced, and it is very likely that routine inspections will not be able to be maintained at a frequency of even once a hundred years.
This is why the Jailer wants to bring the entire Land of Contract into the world. He wants the Land of Contract to replace one of the churches and then personally maintain the Abyss Prison.
Yes, everything is for the Abyss Prison. If the eight major churches had no problems, the warden would not have thought of entering the world. Everything he did was to maintain the normal operation of the Abyss Prison. The reason why the Land of Contract has been able to perform its duties for thousands of years is precisely because of the warden, such a pure and powerful leader.
But not everyone is like him.
Diana held up her face and asked casually, "The warden has transferred so many guardians away. Is the existing manpower sufficient to seal the area?"
A human seal, as its name implies, is a seal performed by humans.
This is not just daily inspections and tests, but also the sealing array that relies on the magic and spiritual power in the human body. Generally speaking, such sealing consumes a lot of energy, so the guardians need to take turns continuously, which is why the Land of Contract has to constantly draw people from various churches.
It's like firewood, except that it can be burned repeatedly. However, if the frequency of burning is high, it will actually burn out.
Therefore, the warden took away a large number of guardians this time in order to shorten the rotation of human seals and increase the consumption of existing "firewood".
"Just barely enough," the subordinate replied, "As long as the warden can return on time, there won't be any problem."
"It won't be that fast." Diana said calmly, "This is no small matter. Let me have my people help to execute the seal as well."
The subordinate hesitated: "Is this a bit..."
Crossed the line.
The contractor has taken over the guardian's functions.
"Things are different now," Diana replied. "The eight churches have suffered huge losses. We won't have so many guardians in the future. If we over-consume the guardians now, we will have to bear the consequences in the future. Just do as I say. When the warden comes back,
I will explain it to him... it is an order."
The subordinate immediately touched his chest and said, "I understand."
In this way, Diana successfully achieved her goal.
Although she did not intend to frame Isaiah by breaking the seal of the Abyss Prison as Hand and Eye had said.
However, "not planning" does not mean "cannot", she must at least ensure that she has the capital to do so, so that she can respond quickly when the situation changes in the future.
And now, the goal has been achieved.
So when Diana was about to turn her attention to Tiansheng's obedience to see what was going on there, she received Carter's report.
"Master, the right eye has found the thumb."
