"Fei, what time is it?" Walking on the Meiwei Sea Road in the middle of the night, listening to the regular rhythm of the waves, and looking at the starry sky, Heliga knew that it was probably late now.

"It's about 10:30 p.m." Fei took out her watch and looked at the time under the dim light of the truth.

"Oops...... It's too late to go back...... Maybe it will disturb the dean's rest......"

"Don't worry, the dean will have to rest later." Fei shook her head, "Let's go in the backyard gently, as long as we don't disturb the children." ”

"Okay."

"Kloss...... Should I go back? ”

"It should be. The access control of Wang Li Academy is very strict, she should have gone back a long time ago. Anyway,Did she tell you about the school festival? ”

"That's it. I want to see it. Fei nodded, the term school festival, she is very unfamiliar, listening to Kolos's description, it is enough to arouse her interest.

"That's right." Helriga nodded, "Then, let's wait until the school festival is over, and then go to the next stop...... But, Fei, I actually have an idea......"

"Huh?"

"Wait for a spin around Liber...... How about accompanying me back to my hometown? I haven't been back for almost two years, I don't know what happened......"

"Heliga's hometown is ...... A small town in the south of the empire? ”

"Well, we can actually see it when we come down the coast."

"Okay. Let's go back. At least you don't have to sleep on tree trunks and mud floors, right? ”

"Ahaha......"

"Hmph...... And you don't have to eat unpalatable dry food anymore...... Speaking of food, Estelle and Joshua ...... just now"

"Well......" Remembering the scene he had seen when he left Luan, Heliga also felt a little regretful, "They are worthy of being guerrillas, as soon as they arrived in a new city, they were invited to a big dinner...... Although we have already eaten ......"

"That uncle who looks like a journalist? I always feel like they're there to exchange information. ”

"Really...... Ah, here we are, Fei, let's go back quickly, the lights are still on...... Well? As he approached the orphanage, he suddenly felt strange eyes staring at him and Fei behind him, but the feeling flashed and there was no sign after that.

"Hmm......" Fei didn't feel that gaze, but smelled some familiar pungent smell, "Helica, does the orphanage store gasoline?" ”

"How is that possible...... How could such a dangerous thing be stored here in an orphanage...... Ah......h

Suddenly, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

————————————————————————————————

Dean Teresa was sitting in her room on the second floor of the orphanage. She had just settled the children and gone to bed, and at the moment she was in front of her the old clothes that the children had worn out when they went out.

"There's a lot to repair,...... said," said Dean Teresa, who didn't complain, "It shows that the children are very energetic during the day......

With the help of the two foreign children, the children only escaped an attack without danger. Although they were a little scared, the children quickly regained their vitality with the presence of Kloss, and even Crum, who was closest to danger, became lively again.

Thinking of the children's lively and naughty appearance, Dean Teresa couldn't help but put a smile on the corner of her mouth. She rubbed her aching wrists, walked to the window, faced the bright moon in the sky, and prayed sincerely: "Goddess, give these children a healthy and happy tomorrow......

Suddenly, she heard a strange sound coming from outside the house.

Crackling...... "This is ...... Dry wood on fire - bad! ”

Dean Teresa reacted immediately - it was the sound of a fire lighting the firewood outside the orphanage!

"Who are you?" The boy's shouting pierced the silent night sky, and also caused Dean Teresa in the room to fall into a momentary stagnation.

"The voice is...... ...... Haliga? ”

From asking about the pungent smell of gasoline around the orphanage to confirming the moment when the fire burst into the sky, it was only a matter of moments.

It's just that, judging by the empty oil drums scattered around the corner and the dense muddy footprints around it, it must have been deliberately set on fire.

What kind of person would attack a defenseless orphanage? Heliga thought so, his heart filled with inexplicable anger.

One hand of life detection technique is raised - at this moment, he can't care about hiding his strength, the safety of the children and the director of the orphanage is the most important thing - in the orphanage, the four faint life reactions are all in the upstairs cubicle, and on the other end there is someone moving in panic - there is no doubt that Dean Teresa has sensed the signs of the fire and is trying to wake up the children to escape from here.

"There are traces of adults passing by. The technique is amateurish, not done by hunters or trained professionals. Fei just glanced at it casually, and saw a lot of information, "I'll go inside to pick up the dean, and Heliga will go after the arsonist." They can't run far. ”

"Good. Fei, be careful yourself. He was reassured of Fe's strength, knowing that she would not be hurt by it, just as Faye was confident that Helliga would succeed in finding the arsonist and bringing him back. This is the trust and tacit understanding formed between the two.

In fact, Hailiga didn't face any challenges at all. The arsonist hid in the lawn not far from the orphanage almost the moment he was discovered, and was easily spotted and knocked unconscious by Helliga.

"Next, just control these two people and report them to the guerrilla association or the royal army......"

"That's not going to work." A magnetic voice sounded behind him, causing the boy's body to tense instantly, "If we get caught here, it will be very troublesome for us." ”

The man dressed in black and wearing a mask on his head, his hands drooping naturally and looking full of flaws—but the fact that the life detection spell was ineffective showed that he was definitely not as easy to take down as it seemed. And Hailiga can also be sure at this time that the feeling of being spied on just now is definitely not an illusion, and the eight achievements are from this man.

"Whether your actions involve some dirty underground dealings, or something else, is really none of my business as a foreigner...... And to be honest, I'm not a guerrilla who takes justice and the protection of civilians as his ......"

"So?" The man asked with interest.

"Theoretically, I could go back and say that I didn't catch anyone to excuse me, but ......" The magic energy in my left hand gathered, and the "wind blade" in my right hand clenched, "Risking the lives of the orphanage and the children inside to achieve your own goals is beyond the scope of "ordinary evil" anyway, right?" ”

"I don't want to do it tonight if I can." The man in front of him still didn't mean to make a move, and he still had that flawed posture, "We didn't intend to hurt anyone in that orphanage in the first place, in fact, if it wasn't for your intervention, I should have taken action to get them to a safe place now...... So why don't you just leave it at that? As you said yourself, the things involved in this matter have nothing to do with you. ”

"Really?" Heliga chuckled, "That sounds good, but unfortunately, I've promised Fei that I'll show her the arsonist." Even if it's just to meet her wishes and expectations, I can't agree to your request. ”

"Really?" The masked man sighed softly, "That's fine...... Let me see your power that also belongs to the "Outer World". A one-handed broadsword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he slowly walked towards Hailiga, although he didn't do it deliberately, but the thick and solemn fighting spirit already gave people a huge sense of oppression.

The most important thing is the phrase he just said, "The Principle of the Outer World"?

Could it be that the man in front of him saw this power - not belonging to this world?

P.S: The Sword Emperor debuts ~ Scattering flowers ~ In fact, he did not appear in the plot of the original work, but the follow-up plot mentioned that he saved the children. I don't think it's going to be like he's going to fly too far away...... Definitely hidden somewhere nearby.
