Chapter 44
Saul didn't answer right away. After experiencing Kerry's death, he thought more about it. Before, he would immediately accept the inspector's conditions, mainly out of necessity. Obviously, the inspector wanted him to be a thug, using his quencher ability to fight against the polluted miners.

If he encounters a contaminated miner, he can indeed help out, but he can also escape.

After Kerry turned into a monster, both physical strength and speed have been significantly enhanced, and it seems that he also has the ability to quickly swallow people.Compared with ordinary miners, even a strong man like Andrew, polluted miners are more threatening, and this does not take into account the possible spread of pollution.

In short, this is an extremely dangerous thing.

Similarly, the inspector made this request precisely because he knew about the battle between Sauer and Kerry. For him, facing a contaminated miner, the quencher who can resist the pollution and the ordinary guard are obviously the former is more suitable for dealing with miners.

"In addition to my seat, there is also a seat for Garland on the Stewart." Sauer made his request.

"Garland, is that your friend who followed you?" The inspector thought for a while, and then he seemed to remember who Garland was, so he nodded and said, "Yes, but only you and Garland. I will send someone to forgive his debts. If the cargo ship arrives at Stewart Island smoothly, he can board and leave directly."

Hearing the inspector's words, Shaoer didn't have a happy expression on his face. He thought about the inspector's invitation to join the investigation team. At that time, he made a similar request, but the inspector did not agree. Although he didn't know much about the specific powers and responsibilities of the inspector, he relied on his observations to exempt one or two miners from debts with the power of the inspector. Therefore, the only reason why the inspector did not agree at that time was that he needed more benefits that could be exchanged. Above all, only in this way can he, the quencher, be controlled in the palm of his hand.

Very deep calculation.

Saul sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"I still need a suitable weapon." Sauer added.

"You mean?" The inspector frowned slightly. "Knife and sword? Or a long spear? On the contrary, I think that they are not as good as the pick you use today."

Saul also frowned when he heard this, which reminded him of what happened early this morning. He shook his head and replied, "I'm not referring to how to kill the polluted miners, I'm referring to my identity." He pointed to what he was wearing, which was still a cheap gray-black miner's uniform.

Although the inspector had said before when the inspector invited him to join the investigation team that he would be given the same treatment as the guards of Sauer, since that time, apart from having this level of identity and making a lot of faces among the guards, he has not actually received the same level of treatment. He has neither matching weapons and armor nor can he provide accommodation in the residential area.

"I need matching treatment." He looked firmly into the inspector's eyes.

The inspector squinted his eyes at Saul and nodded slowly, "Sauer, you finally asked me. I was always worried that you would resist this identity. Now, I am relieved." He called the guards and relayed Saul's request to the guards.

"Thank you for your care." Saul stood up with a calm tone.

"Then, I'll leave it to you." The inspector turned to look at the guard, "Take him there."

……

Garrison Army Prison.

Sauer asked the guard next to him to open the door of Garland's cell. It was slightly different from what he had expected. The position assigned to him by the inspector was not an ordinary guard, but a close guard of the inspector. This position was even half a level higher than that of the ordinary guard captain, and it could be said to be well paid.

"You are?" Garland walked to the door, because Saul was wearing light armor at this time, and because of the change in his clothes, he didn't recognize him for a while.

"Guess?" Saul asked.

"Saul!" Garland's eyes widened, staring at Saul left and right, and then, he was about to reach out and pat Saul on the shoulder, but was stopped by a guard.

Garland shrank his neck, took half a step back, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

"Go back, I'm enough alone." Saul glanced at the guard beside him with cold eyes.

"Yes... yes!" The guard next to him seemed to be frightened, and immediately left after handing over the key.

Saul walked into the cell and leaned his back against the wall.

Garland raised his head and looked at Saul. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the gap between us would be so big in just a few days."

"I don't want what happened to Kerry to happen to you again." Sauer said with a heavy tone.

Garland did not answer and chose to remain silent.

"The situation on Stewart Island is more dangerous than you and I imagined." Sauer observed Garland, and after Garland turned his attention to himself, he continued, telling Garland the information he had learned from the inspector before, "After you go out, pack your things, we will move to a residential area, and we don't need to live there anymore."

Garland's eyes were very surprised, as if he couldn't accept such a big change for a while. He had always lived as a miner and had never entered a residential area.

"Protect yourself, please, don't touch those things that may be curses, and come to me if you have anything." Saul lowered his voice, his voice was full of worry, "Just leave this island, even if the cargo ship doesn't come, we can still take the Stewart, as long as we survive these few days."

If, as the inspector said, the reason for the appearance of the gold is the power of the curse itself, then there will be absolutely no peace in the next few days.

"What about Regis?" Garland asked.

Saul took a deep breath and didn't answer right away.

He didn't want to save Regis. Although Regis had been begging for mercy when he came back early in the morning, hoping that he would let Kerry, who had turned into a monster, be spared. However, the gambler, who had been taught repeatedly, was on the verge of disappearing for several days, and he was almost invisible at ordinary times. No matter from any angle, he didn't seem to intend to leave the island.

"Let him die." Saul suppressed the anger in his heart, "If he didn't think about gambling, Kerry might not be polluted."

"I know there are conflicts between you." Garland persuaded, "I won't say anything, but I hope today, you and I, and Regis, can help Kerry set up a tombstone and see him off."

Regis is still locked in the cell now.

Saul sighed and nodded. Afterwards, he took Garland to the cell where Regis was. The three of them were not locked in a similar cell. In fact, there were not many prisoners in the prison of the Garrison Army on the Island. If miners or businessmen committed crimes, they would hardly be locked up in cells for insignificant things, and most of the serious things would be executed on the spot.

The two stood in front of the cell door of Regis's cell. Inside the cell door, Regis sat in the corner with his head buried in his knees, and did not respond to the arrival of the two.

 It turns out that follow-up reading is really useful, and I can run another round of recommendations
