Chapter 28: The Golden Fairy (26)
A farmer spotted the burning building, and then he called for a few helpers, who worked together to extinguish the fire.
Fortunately... No one was injured.
Then several police officers came to wander around the place a few times, wrote down the words "fire for no reason, no one was injured" in their notebooks, and returned to the town.

Alchemist's Tower.
A black-robed man in a mask was standing at the long table, picking up the bottles and jars from time to time and looking at them, as if he was looking for something.
A ray of light from the tower's crumbling roof shone on the long table.
In the corner of the room, several sturdy men in bundles lay on the ground, unresponsive.
It's as if time has stood still here.
γγγγγγ
I don't know how long it took for Victoria to wake up leisurely.
She only remembered that she was attacked from behind while looking for clues in the small building, and then passed out.
"Ai Yue!" Victoria suddenly remembered Ai Yue who was with her, and subconsciously shouted.
"Hmm... Is it dawn?" Ai Yue, who heard her name, opened her eyes in a daze. She tried to rub her eyes with her hands, but she didn't succeed.
"Well... Who is it?!Who attacked me?" Ai Yue finally remembered what had happened and shouted vigilantly.
Hearing a voice in the corner, the black-robed masked man at the long table looked over to Ai Yue and Victoria, and then gently approached the two.
Bang Bang Bang β
For some reason, he clapped as he walked.
Immediately after, a voice that could not be heard whether it was a man or a woman sounded.
"Congratulations to you both for successfully discovering me. β
"Who the hell are you?" Ai Yue said vigilantly, looking around, and then asked, "Where is Ai Lian?"
"My identity, you should know very well... Oh, it's this little girl, you should know it very well, right?" the black-robed masked man suddenly looked at Victoria and said with a smile: "As for Eren or something, there is no effect on me, and I usually like to deal with it first." β
"After all, it will save a lot of time and worry if you clean it up, don't you think?"
The black robe said casually, as if he were saying something that had nothing to do with him.
"You !!" Ai Yue glared at the black robe, but didn't say anything.
She didn't believe that Ai Lian would die at the hands of such a person, and in Ai Yue's heart, Ai Lian was invincible.
He evaded the joint wanted warrants issued by the Sailun Empire and more than a dozen large and small kingdoms and principalities, and successfully ran from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent.
The black robe didn't care much, in his opinion, no one could survive that kind of fire, unless... He can fly.
Haha, as a villain, occasionally making a little joke to lighten up the atmosphere is also a must for villains.
"What do you want?" said Victoria calmly, her hoarse voice echoing through the room, causing the black-robed man to burst into laughter.
"Haha... Haha! Don't speak in such a cold tone~ You know, what I want is not the lives of the two of you, we can sit down and talk about it, maybe we can still cooperate!"
The black robe held the mask and laughed to himself. His voice became even more fragmented within the mask. It was as sharp as the sound of a fork scratching the ground.
Squeak - Squeak -
The black-robed man was smiling and pacing back and forth in the room, and he walked wantonly like the master here.
Even the creaking of the floor beneath his feet sounded like laughter.
At this moment, a moan came from the corner, it was the voice of a young man.
"Oh, it looks like our third guest is awake too. The black robe stopped walking back and forth and said with a hint of happiness.
"I... My head ... "The sound is choppy, and it is clear that the owner of the voice has been treated very badly before.
Victoria glanced at the black-robed man coldly, provoking the other party to exclaim.
"Oh, dear little girl, don't look at me like that, or I will confess to the goddess Gaia and commit suicide. At this, the black-robed man paused, as if thinking about something, but then he said, "Hmm... It seems that I believe in Hades, the god of evil, but ... We're all gods, I don't think you mindβ"
"Blasphemer!" Victoria's voice was a little angry, in her little world, God had been her last reliance. But now, there's another blur here.
"Blasphemy against God?hahaha! God is a fart! Kill him, Lao Tzu is also a god!" said the black-robed man with a wild laugh.
Just as the two were confronting each other, the young man in the corner finally came to his senses.
"Here it is... Victoria?"
The young man seemed to recognize Victoria's voice, and he shouted in surprise.
"The voice is ... Blois?" Victoria also remembered the owner of the voice at this moment, and not only that, although the corner where the three of them were was darker, Officer Blois's spiritual hairstyle still stubbornly betrayed him.
"Damn! I can't get this damn hair down, I want to cut off his head directly, and forget it!" The black-robed man was obviously choked by Officer Blois's discovery.
"You!" Officer Blois was furious when he saw that his proud hairstyle was disliked, but he was not Victoria, and the more excited he was, the more speechless he became.
Just as the atmosphere was getting more and more stiff, the black-robed man clapped his hands and walked towards the long table.
In an instant, a dazzling white light shone from the black-robed man's hand, and the three Victorians subconsciously closed their eyes.
After a while, they gradually opened their eyes and slowly adjusted to the light.
The black-robed man shook a strangely shaped tubular object in his hand, like a child showing off a toy, and said, "How is it? In their words, this thing called the light tube is the product of the technology that the Eastern Continent is proud of. β
A cylinder that seemed to be enchanted with magic was dangled in the black-robed man's hand.
