Chapter 37: The Aftermath of the Explosion
Just returned to the house, looking at the tragic situation of the whole house, Qi Lin was glad again, fortunately he was decisive just now, otherwise he was afraid that he and Angel would be seriously injured if they did not die.
At this moment, the house was in a mess, a hole of half a meter in size appeared on the solid rammed earth, the walls of the room had been smoked black, and some stones even had serious cracks, and at the same time, the tables, chairs and benches in the room had basically been shattered, and there was no intact furniture to be found as far as the eye could see.
Qi Lin is not open for business today, so the door of the grain store has been closed, but at this moment, the entire gate has flown out five or six meters away, Qi Lin can even see pedestrians walking on the street looking at their store in amazement, from their eyes, Qi Lin saw only fear in addition to surprise.
Qi Lin can also understand the appearance of pedestrians, after all, although he didn't hear it, but so much gunpowder exploded at the same time, and the sound produced was definitely no less than thunder, plus there would be an obvious shock at such a close distance, it can be said that it was like a grenade suddenly exploding around him just now.
Not to mention the inhabitants of a medieval town who have not seen overheated weapons, even if you are a modern person who is baptized by war movies every day, suddenly one day a gas tank explodes more than ten meters away from you, you are probably surprised and feared, which is also one of the nature of living beings.
Seeing the appearance of pedestrians, Qi Lin smashed his mouth and wanted to explain, but he really couldn't find any reason, so he silently walked to the door of the store five or six meters away from the eyes of everyone, and hugged the door with all his might.
"What a thunderbolt, it crashed the door. Carrying the door, Qi Lin muttered loudly, and then temporarily slammed the door against the door frame in the room.
"Take us for fools, a thunderbolt, your thunder can blow the door open!"
"yes, I just saw the inside of the house, it's like letting a giant step on it, it can be a thunderbolt!"
"That kid is taking us for fools!"
"When I used to buy food, I thought this kid was very good, at least there was no shortage of catties or two, but I didn't expect to have no truth. ”
"Hey, isn't the focus of the brothers' attention a little off, what is the sound of the rumble just now, but it really scared me. ”
A group of pedestrians were discussing around the grain store, but there were also a few young people who didn't look serious at first glance and ran quickly into the distance.
After securing the door, he glanced at the already messy grain store, Qi Lin sighed, and then he noticed that Angel had been lowering her head at this moment, her hair hanging down and she couldn't see her face, but Qi Lin could feel her fear and self-blame.
Walking up to Angel's side, while lifting her head, and helping her fix her slightly messy blonde hair, Qi Lin comforted her with a little thankfulness.
"Okay, I don't blame you for this, my brother didn't think it through just now, but fortunately none of us were injured, and there was no damage to the bodies of Bilodo and your father upstairs. ”
"And the old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, I just plan to move, and it's okay if it blows up this time, and there will be less thoughts in the future. ”
Angel pursed the corners of her lips and muttered in an apologetic voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have played with that mess." ”
Qi Lin smiled indifferently and said: "Indeed, in the future, remember to be careful when using the power just now, it's okay to blow up to the flowers and plants, it's not good to blow up to yourself, now the environment doesn't allow it, go back and find a place to accompany you to experiment, see what amount of medicine the explosion range is, just practice more in the future." ”
Angel looked around with a little fear and said, "Will you still use it in the future?"
Qi Lin nodded and said: "Of course, the power of gunpowder is also a good thing, and it is very useful in many places, and if anyone bullies you in the future, you can directly make some gunpowder next to him, and if you can't blow him up, you can scare him." ”
Angel thought for a while, then said with a slight hesitation: "Okay!"
Qi Lin didn't care about Angel's entanglement, although Angel's strength at this moment was indeed not to be underestimated, but the situation was not so severe that Angel really had to let Angel take action, relying on the resources at hand, Qi Lin believed that there was no problem in cleaning up that group of rats.
However, after looking around the house, Qi Lin still sighed, after the explosion just now, this grain store is no longer very suitable for living, after all, there are many stones on the wall that have cracks on them, in case there is really a big impact, I am afraid that the whole house will become a dangerous house.
And Bilodo donated the house to the church, and at the moment Qi Lin only has the right to live in this house for three months, although after the last temptation, Qi Lin feels that Matteo Ricci and the Holy Sect behind him have an ambiguous relationship with him, but to make other people's houses like this is always to give someone an explanation.
I bought a little more furniture from the supermarket and probably cleaned it up.
Seeing that it was still early, Qi Lin decided to go to the church again, and by the way, he handed him the reading glasses that he had promised Matteo Ricci.
However, after the last incident, Qi Lin didn't dare to leave Angel alone at home no matter what, there was a door to block last time, and this time if the rats came again, I was afraid that I wouldn't have to climb the window.
Not to mention how Qi Lin took Angel to the church, but only to say that a few young men who had just run away from the crowd of people who had just run away from the crowd ran as fast as they could to a tavern in the lower part of the city where rats liked to gather, and told the tavern owner everything they had just seen.
Then the news was quickly passed from the tavernkeeper's hand to the center of the city, and before Qi Lin and Angel were ready to go out, in a manor in the upper part of the city, a well-dressed man was quietly listening to the report of his subordinates.
Even the upper town, where the urban elite live, is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the closer it is to the castle of the Count of Pothos in the center of the city, the higher the natural status.
And the owner of this manor, from a street thug in the lower city, relied on his ferocity and cunning, relying on the strength to kill and dare to kill, and grew into the king of the dark side of the whole city in a few decades.
Although he can't really put his home in the central city, at least he can be considered a number of people in the lower city, and even the Count of Pothos sometimes has to rely on his power.
But it is precisely because he has grown to this point that he naturally has the opportunity to peek into a broader world, which can be called an extraordinary world.
It was precisely because he saw that piece of heaven and earth that he knew why none of the aristocratic families who shared the central city with Count Pothos had any power on the surface, but no one dared to provoke.
He understood better why the church was able to ignore and sometimes suppress Count Pothos with just a few dozen people.
At the same time, he understands his own powerlessness and weakness, he is just a dog raised by those people, after all, the dark side of a city always needs a manager, once he loses his use value, then there will definitely be no good end waiting for him.
So in order to better manage the dark side of the city, he had to make himself more murderous, and killed more people and did more bad things, and that kind of cruelty and ferocity became his main character.
But the ferocity and ruthlessness are not without benefits, in addition to making his subordinates more obedient, some time ago, an adult actually took the initiative to find him.
Although his understanding of the transcendent world was not so clear, judging from the power displayed by that adult, it was much stronger than those nobles in the central city.
Even though the lord didn't let himself provoke Count Pothos and the church, it could be seen from his words and deeds that he was not so afraid of Count Pothos and the church.
Some time ago, the lord gave him a strong power, if he could help the lord find that thing, there was a stronger power waiting for him, and when the time came, he was afraid that it would be just around the corner to move his manor into the central city.
Even deep in his heart, he was born with the ambition of not being able to replace the one who was in the center of the city and become the master of the entire city, and he would probably be called the Count of the Intestines at that time.
But if you want to get that, you have to get that thing, that thing hidden in a little grain store.
Originally, he planned to kill the owner of the grain store quietly, as long as no one took over, it was a simple and abnormal thing for him to send someone over to find something at night.
But in any case, I never thought that because the people under my hands made their own decisions, they wanted to get the grain store to attract the participation of the church.
After that, everything was out of his control, and now the little beggar who lived in the grain store was appreciated by the priest, and the sudden explosion in the grain store just now made the intestines inexplicably think of supernatural power.
If it was really that little beggar who had awakened his extraordinary powers, then he would have no chance at all, and his bowels would never lack decisiveness and ferocity in matters related to his future and fate.
I saw that the intestines were straining their hands, and the armrests of the chair in his hands were broken in response.
The subordinates who were reporting to him all swallowed hard when they saw this scene, and their faces, which had been respectful enough, became more obedient at this moment.
You must know that the armrests of the chair are made of good hardwood, even if you cut it with an axe, it is not so easy to cut it, but now it has been broken by the intestines at once, is the ferocious boss in front of you really a humanoid beast?
Seeing the change in the expressions of his subordinates, the intestines were very proud: "Sure enough, everything is power, as long as there is strong power, everyone will naturally obey you and serve you!"
"Boss, what do you think we're going to do next?" asked the respectful subordinate cautiously.
His bowels groaned for a moment, thinking of the power of the church, and of the power that had just erupted in the grain store as described by his men, and he let go of the thought of using force at once and ordered: "Keep an eye on it, and find an opportunity, I will meet the little beggar first to find out his bottom." ”
