196 - Fighting fires, saving people

What is brightest in the dark?

The light is the brightest.

Firelight, on the other hand, is the most easily produced, extremely bright light.

The night watchman's torch ignited the grass, and a fire spread to the captain's guard hut.

Then the energetic flame climbed over the ridge of the hut and went around the direction behind the hut.

The flames enveloped the makeshift rest room of the entire Guard.

The captain, who was already asleep, was choked by the smoke and completely fainted.

The harbor was also noisy, and many people who were still active in the harbor saw the burning fire and were running towards it with wooden barrels and basins.

"You set the fire?" Harry, who was standing next to Will, was terrified, and his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Will.

"It's not me!" Weir objected, but he knew that this feeble objection in the face of 'facts' was useless.

"There's someone in there!" "We've got to get him out!" ”

But when Ver turned around, he only saw Harry's back running away.

"Damn!!" Wiel knew that Harry was afraid of him, and he decided he was the arsonist.

But Wille knew it was a misunderstanding!

I don't know why the house caught fire, but could it be that the candle flame in the candlestick popped out on its own?

Glancing back, Ver wanted to rush up and grab Harry to explain the matter, but the fire above was already burning brightly, and every second of delay would kill the person who had been looking at him in the smoke that he had misunderstood.

Ver paused, and hurried to the top.

On the side of the gentle slope, Wille stepped on the edge and 'flew' up in two steps.

When he got to the top, Ver found that it was not only the house that was on fire, but the entire area on fire.

There are a lot of weeds on the ground, and because the climate here is very dry, those weeds are the most natural fuel, and the fire is booming.

Vere tried to take two steps forward, but couldn't get through the flames outside.

Wiel saw that the fire was not burning from within, but from without.

Who set this fire?

Why the hell is this guarded hut fireproof?

Is it against patrols? Still is...... Against yourself?

Veil didn't have time to think about it, gritted his teeth, changed the wand in his hand, and pointed forward, an ice crystal appeared, extinguishing a narrow flame, and at this time, Veel stepped on the fleeting ice and rushed towards the hut.

"Bang!" With a thud, Ver slammed open the burnt, somewhat deformed door.

The flames had already burned in from the direction of the window, and the smoke was so thick that only Will's eyes were watery and he coughed.

Covering his mouth and nose, Ver rushed in.

In the room where the 'captain' was, the smoke had reached the man's head, and the table in front of him was already burning.

The armor next to it was already blazing.

And the moment Ver rushed in, a flame had already climbed up the man's body!

Seeing that the man was about to burst into flames, his fingers and the back of his hand were instantly burned with a large blister!

"Frozen!" Of course, Weier wouldn't shout such a second word, after all, he was still covering his mouth and nose.

An ice crystal shot out, instantly freezing the place where the man was burning.

Vere rushed over and picked the man on his back, and then the flames engulfed the chair and quickly burned down the wooden ground towards Weel.

So with a repetition of the plan, Ver used his ice wand to open a path again, and ran out of the house with the 'captain' on his back.

Immediately after, with the 'Captain', he rolled on the ground a few times, and then with a quick pounce, the rune on Weir's right hand appeared, condensing a cloud of water, extinguishing all the small flames on the two of them.

The only water summoning technique that Will can do is just a magic that summons drinking water, in other words, the amount of water summoned by Will may be able to extinguish firewood, and he can try to extinguish the torch for a while, but he can't fight the fire......

“…… It's on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! ......" A voice was heard in the distance, and the Star Spirits began to gather in the distance, ready to extinguish the fire.

It was then that Wille realized that because it was the ground that had been ignited, the flames had not only spread to the hut, but had spread far away with the wind.

The flames have burned a long distance.

To be honest, such a port has been able to survive until now and has not been burned down, one is close to the sea, and the other is thanks to luck.

Of course, it may have something to do with the fact that the workshop and the rest area of the guards here have just been built.

Either way, the fire prevention measures are a mess.

The Spirits had to use the kind of bucket of water that one person passed to control the fire, and then several people took the opportunity to dig out a 'barrier' to enclose an area, and then waited for the flames to consume the contents of the area.

As for the people in the places where the fires are most intense? Seek more blessings......

Ver cleared a place, but the ground behind the hut was mostly gravel and gravel, and the flames themselves could not spread in that direction except for the temperature of the flames.

He put the 'captain' on the ground behind him and compared it in front of his nose, "It's okay...... Didn't die......"

Wiel looked at the Captain's frozen arm, and the reddened bruises on the red arm could be clearly seen underneath the ice.

This is not possible, although the arm can be cooled after excessive burning, it cannot be 'frozen'. Otherwise, just wait for amputation......

"I have to deal with it first, and then hurry up to find someone, there should be a doctor in this place......"

……

On the other hand, Harry felt like he was 'narrowly escaped' and allowed himself to go to a place where the fire was burning? I'm afraid that if I go, I will have a long sword pierce my heart, and then I will be thrown into the fire and burned ashes.

Harry was convinced of this, he had personally put Vere there, and he could have skipped the captain and come out with the captain's sword silently?

How can it be?!

This man must have done something, he was deceiving himself! I want to set up a blame and then destroy the corpse! Although he is only a boatman, his experience will not be lost to anyone.

There was murderous in that guy's eyes, and that kind of cold look was just a glance, and he knew that this person's origin must not be simple.

So, Harry took advantage of Will's distraction and ran desperately in the direction of the church.

At this moment, from the direction of the hill of the church, in Harry's eyes, a knight in white armor appeared.

"My lord! Knight-sama! Harry was stopped by the knight who came down from the mountain, or rather, Harry came to the knight's side. My lord, you have to go and save Mr. Captain. That guy set the fire and tried to kill me! ”

"Hmm...... Hurry up and put out the fire! I won't let the devil's minions hurt you! ”

"That's right! Knight-sama! That man is definitely the devil! You must protect us! ”

"Where is he?"

"He's there!"

The knight's eyes fixed on the flames, and suddenly behind the flames came the familiar 'devil's fluctuations'.

Immediately, the knight drew his sword from his waist and rushed in that direction.

……

The sword was set aside, and Wille shattered the ice from the Captain's hand, about to wrap the cloth upwards.

"Oh my God... Sorry bro... You're going to have to hold on...... "Will saw that cold sweat had begun to break out on the 'Captain''s head, and his body began to shake, and it looked like it was in unbearable pain.

The back suddenly exploded!

Ver hurriedly rolled to the side.

The tip of a long sword slashed precisely at the position where he was staying, and he almost slashed the 'captain', and the tip of the sword rubbed the 'captain's clothes.

"Devil's minions! Today is your end! ”

"Don't be impulsive! Listen to me! "Wiel knew someone had misunderstood him.

But the man ignored Will's words, and only glanced at the 'captain', who was shaking on the ground and his arm burned, and kicked the long sword on the ground to the bottom.

Then he raised his sword toward Vere, and slashed at her.

"Holy! Listen to me! Wiel dodged in embarrassment.
