Chapter 69: Premeditation

Rumble!

A loud explosion rang out from the other side of the city, followed by a puff of smoke...... It was far away, almost to the east of the city, and the people were now on the high mountains to the northwest.

They were at a loss for what was happening so far away.

Sean glanced around, originally to greet this powerful witch from the north, but the sudden loud noise caused everyone to appear in a state of [doubt!].

"What's that?" said Igonia, who was beside her.

Sean couldn't tell, because it was too far away so he couldn't see the situation over there.

"It's fire! Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

After the smoke passed, the fire began to spread on the roofs of the houses in the distance, and the surrounding houses were set on fire one after another!

There was still a small popping sound coming from that direction......

"Come and see you, I'm not welcome here. It wasn't until everyone had doubts in their hearts that the Red Dragon Witch who had just arrived spoke.

The voice exudes the charm of a mature woman.

"We ......," Arya and her two older brothers didn't know what to say for a moment.

The sudden change made the three of them very [confused!] still in their heads, and even Arya kept looking at the place where the fire appeared and didn't know what to do!

"Later, Earl Hamil's children, follow me with your party. I'm afraid there are guys in this city who don't like me coming, and it seems that your father has found the right person this time. As she spoke, she began to unleash her magic.

【Summon~】

Sean noticed that the spell released by the other party began to read the note.

It's a calling!

I'd heard Lucille mention this type of spell when he was talking about common sense, but I finally saw it today.

It's about five seconds of cast time...... With the fluctuation of magic, a mirror-like space appeared above the opponent's head, and when the reading was finished, a huge flying demonic beast slowly appeared in that space.

The dark skin with shiny fleshy wings looked more like the dragons depicted in movies and novels, and its body with wings outstretched was more than two horses standing together.

Everyone saw that the other party jumped directly on this demonic beast......

"Come with me, children of the Earl's house. After saying that, he flew straight to the east.

Only then did everyone look back at the three of them from [shock!].

"Black knights, let's go up and see what's going on over there!" finally one of the three spoke.

Sean remembers that his name was Ryan, and that he had an unpleasant conversation with him on his first day at the Earl's house.

"Let's all follow along, and we can all take care of each other. ”

It came so suddenly, and until now I haven't heard from there, all I can see is a fire...... There was a sound of explosions, and it sounded like there had been an explosion in a factory.

"Well, that's fine. Let's all stay together, don't get separated!" some of the nobles, the first few viscounts, also stood up and said.

I had only hurried to the top of the mountain in the morning, and now I hurried down in a hurry......

Sean grabbed Igonia from behind.

"What's wrong? Sean. ”

She looked back just in time to see Sean's serious expression at the moment, and with her was the wizard named Warren.

"Let's go, Igonia......" His eyes suddenly changed when he saw Sean.

"Baron Vegel is in danger now, there may be a fire in the eastern area, we all have to go over, can you not pull my junior sister. Warren looked at Sean with some dissatisfaction.

The favorability of the two has always been cold, and they almost sneered when they met.

It's happened many times these days......

"Oh, yes. Then you go quickly. He glanced at Igonia, and the other party also looked at him with [curious!].

"You ......"

"Isn't it dangerous, then you should get out of the dangerous place quickly. ”

Obviously, seeing that the other party has a state of [angry!], if it weren't for Igonia's presence, Sean would probably be able to fight.

"Alright, don't argue...... Warren, you go first, I'll come with Sean soon. In the end, it was Igonia who persuaded her.

"But how can I leave you here?!!"

"Is this more dangerous than the place where it's on fire? "Say it again.

"Let's go!"

At the urging of Igonia, Warren finally left first, walked a few steps, and stopped to look back at the two.

"Be careful, Igonia. ”

"I know, you go first, I'll follow ...... right away"

And it was at this time that Sean noticed that the other party's favorability with himself finally became [hatred]!

Scold~

"Your senior brother doesn't seem to like me very well. ”

"He's always been so nosy, don't care about him...... That's right, Sean. Did you find something?" One of the reasons Igonia chose to stay with Sean at the end was the kind of observation that the other party showed yesterday.

I've never seen anyone think so much of something they take for granted!

"Don't you think it's strange to look at the flames and explosions over there?" said Sean.

In fact, when he heard the first tremor, Sean sensed that something was wrong......

"You mean the gunpowder ?!!," even Igonia reacted.

Both of them are already so close to the truth, but they didn't expect to be a step slower...... That's pretty much it, if the two of them had been running a few more places yesterday afternoon, maybe they would have been able to find out.

"Then what are you waiting for, we're going to tell them now! And the leader of the 'Wings of the Sky', the Red Dragon Witch, Frelia, is here, and we need to let her know about it. "All Igonia can think of is to get the news to everyone as soon as possible.

If you look for it now, you might be able to find the rioters.

"It's late. ”

"Huh?" looked at Sean with some confusion about what the other party meant.

"What's late. ”

"It didn't help in the past, it was just to help put out the fire. As you said, even if a fire can burn down a house, it's nothing to so many high-level wizards in Koga City, so why would they do it?" Sean asked rhetorically.

Igonia, of course, couldn't answer.

Even Sean couldn't find a breakthrough on this issue......

When exactly did it start?

Before he came to Kega City, he still said that the other party had already planned it earlier.

For a moment, my head recalled all the images that were deeply memorable.

Exit the town of Telemien and head to a tavern accommodation outside the city...... The state of the people I had seen, then the rats, the sewers, the sick counts and the children who fought for the countdom, and finally the orchards and gunpowder materials to the east, and the things that Igonia had heard about.

It doesn't seem to be a big connection......

If you go a little further, start with winter.

"Igonia ......"

"Huh?"

"Let's go back. Sean suddenly looked at the largest house in the city.

"Where?"

"Back to the Earl's Court ......"
