"Hey, what's going on over there?" Bald Blue suddenly pointed to the house behind the tree, which was the warehouse attached to the prison factory.

Before they could turn back, a loud bang rang in their ears. The people resting in the courtyard were frightened and turned their heads to look at it. I saw smoke billowing from the direction of the warehouse, the flames were soaring, and the roof had been blown away by a violent explosion.

"Oh my God, that's the clothes we weaved!" Qiao Mei exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief of horror.

Red's brow furrowed, it was clear that he was aware of the seriousness of the problem. The warehouse is not only stocked with clothes, but also with a variety of strategic materials such as arrows, bandages, and disinfectant. These are the fruits of their sweat and time, and they are also a symbol of their support for the front.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Bald Blue led the way in the direction of the warehouse, followed by Cynthia and Jomei. Red shouted at all the prisoners, "Those who have hands and feet, come and help!" ”

His voice was urgent and full of appeal. The prisoners in the courtyard woke up from a dream, picked up the things they had around them, and followed them to fight the fire.

"What's going on? How did it catch fire? Maya led a detachment of guards to the scene.

"Leave it alone." Captain Bard also arrived with buckets and shovels, "Hurry up and put out the fire." ”

Extinguishing a fire is not an easy task, and the fire is fierce and fierce, like a giant dragon raging in the warehouse. The heat burned the skin of those who came closer, and the billowing smoke made it difficult to breathe.

To make matters worse, when the prison was first planned, both Nick and Lydia made a serious mistake – they didn't think about having a fire brigade in the prison.

If it were in an ordinary neighborhood, Lydia would definitely think of setting up firefighting, medical, police and other service facilities, but she was a human being in two lives, and her experience in prison was still blank, and she didn't know what to do in prison.

A water tower was built in this prison, but it was mainly used for daily washing, eating and drinking, the water storage was not too large, and the water flow was not very urgent, so it seemed to be almost interesting to use it to extinguish fires.

Soldiers and prisoners used shovels to raise yellow sand in an attempt to cover the fire. But the warehouse was very high, the fire was fierce, and the method of covering up the sand was too slow.

"Water!" Bald Blue shouted, "We need more water!" ”

However, where to find more water in this barren desert land? There was despair in everyone's hearts. They watched the strategic materials they had worked so hard to produce being swallowed up by the fire, but they could do nothing.

"What should I do?" Qiao Mei asked anxiously.

"Those who have the tools continue to put out the fire." Red took off his shirt and covered his mouth, "Follow me in without tools and grab the supplies!" ”

As he spoke, he and several others rushed into the raging flames. The smoke rose from the firelight, choking them so much that they could barely open their eyes.

"Hurry up and get all that disinfectant out, they burn easily!" Red shouted in the middle of the fire, "And the gauze over there, get them all out at once!" ”

Outside the fire, people are desperately trying to put out the fire.

"No, it's too slow." Cynthia suddenly grabbed Maya, "I have a solution, I need some lime and red sand powder, please help me." ”

Seeing that her eyes were so sincere, Maya believed that this woman was not trying to escape from prison while there was chaos, "Okay, follow me." ”

They rushed to the utility room with a few soldiers and quickly found the items they needed. Cynthia crushed the limestone, stirred it with red sand powder, and pressed it in a small jar. Finally, he used the fragments of soul stone to draw a small burst sigil on the mouth of the jar.

"Looking at her appearance, it looks like she is doing some kind of soul magic potion?" Someone wondered.

"What the hell is she doing?" Some people also asked.

Maya could only shake her head awkwardly, "I don't know, it should be something useful." ”

When she said this, she had no confidence in her heart at all, but now she can only trust Cynthia.

"Take these." Cynthia turned and stuffed the soldiers with a few small jars she had concocted.

Maya also had five or six cans stuffed in her hand, and she struggled to hold on to them, "This doesn't look like a packed lunch." ”

Cynthia also hugged it full, and said as she walked, "This was taught to me by a previous Deadwood Gate grandmaster, and it can be used to extinguish fires. ”

"You know the people of the Deadwood Gate?" Maya exclaimed, "I thought they had been wiped out by Darius. ”

Cynthia snorted, "What would you think if I told you that the Grandmaster was actually my grandfather?" ”

Maya's mind was short-circuited all at once.

A few people hurried to the front of the warehouse, and the fire seemed to be bigger than just now.

"Put out the fire." Maya was about to open the jar in her hand, but was stopped by Cynthia.

"Look at it." Cynthia lifted the jar and threw it into the flames, "That's how it works." ”

Everyone watched in amazement as Cynthia smashed a small jar into the flames, muttering to herself, "What can this thing do?" There was a loud "bang" in the sea of fire.

A violent stream of water vapor and white powder exploded quickly, and surprisingly, the explosion of that jar did not cause a fire, but extinguished the flames five or six meters around it in an instant.

"It's amazing!" Bald Blue exclaimed.

As more cans were thrown into the fire, the entire warehouse was filled with white powder, and after a while, the fire was noticeably weakened.

Red asked in surprise, "What's going on?" How could this powder have such a strange effect? ”

Cynthia just shook her head, "My grandfather didn't tell me what it was, I just did what he taught me." ”

In fact, what Cynthia concocted is similar to the fire extinguishing bombs in modern society, but according to the elemental characteristics of this world, some raw material adjustments have been made.

Upon exposure to high temperatures, the burst sigil in the jar activates, creating a tiny explosion. In the explosion, lime and red sand powder fused, forming a large amount of inert gas that permeated the air.

This inert gas quickly expels oxygen from the air, and once the ignition source is detached from oxygen, it cannot continue to burn. In this way, the effect of extinguishing the fire can be achieved.

The fire in the warehouse was gradually extinguished, and the air was filled with the smell of ash and charring. The prisoners and soldiers who put out the fire sat on the ground, wiping their sweat and panting. Even so, seeing that the materials in the warehouse could be saved, their faces showed a look of relief.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Nick and a group of soldiers arrived belatedly, and when he saw that the fire had been extinguished, he was also sincerely happy, and turned his head and ordered Eggers to cook a delicious meal tonight, and everyone had a good party.

After learning about the rescue process, he especially praised the heroic actions of Blue, Red, Jomei and Cynthia, "You are all brave and fearless warriors, and this is what a warrior should be. ”

Bald Blue smirked, "Isn't that what a warrior should be?" ”

"Not necessarily." Nick shook his head regretfully, "I've seen too many people who call themselves warriors, they don't dare to fight with foreign enemies, they can't use spears and swords to cut off the minions of the demons, but they can only fish and flesh unarmed people. ”

The glorification on Blue's face faded, and he suddenly thought of his past. In Darius's army, there were many people who killed innocents and robbed property in the name of crusading against the enemy. They even slaughtered civilians in a village, falsely claiming to be bandits in exchange for a bounty.

"Not bad." Qiao Mei suddenly sighed, "Recently, I read some 'newspapers' in the Red Pavilion, and I suddenly felt that I was no longer worthy of calling myself a knight. ”

Cynthia comforted, "You are indeed a brave knight......"

Qiao Mei waved her hand, "As a knight, you should fight for those who can't fight. We should protect the weak...... But what did I do...... I took away their fields and shelters and drove them into the desolate desert with the knight's sword......"

Many people had a look of shame on their faces, and what Qiao Mei had done was not an exception - everyone here had such evil deeds.

Nick coughed, breaking the silence in the air, "Like you, I used to think that I had been fighting for half my life, and it was not a big deal to use my power to make something - but don't forget that these should belong to someone else's property, and it is also their blood and sweat. ”

He waved his hand to the burned warehouse, "Today, you have all bravely rescued the wealth you have worked hard to create, and I hope that you can cherish your own wealth and the wealth of others in the future." ”

Bald Blue nodded slightly, these days, he had gradually understood why the Red Pavilion had locked them up here, instead of simply using the guillotine to solve the problem.

"I still have some title deeds and leases in my mansion." He thought about it for a long time, and finally said, "I'll turn them all in......"

Nick nodded, and asked Captain Bard to follow up on the prisoners' reports of hidden property. Seeing that there was only a slight loss of goods in the warehouse, he arranged for Crohn to count the goods and repair the warehouse as soon as possible.

"General Nick." Red suddenly asked, "This fire came too suddenly, I don't think it's right, did someone deliberately set the fire?" ”

When he asked, many of the prisoners gathered around, staring at Nick with puzzled eyes.

"You guessed right." Nick gestured to the distance, where several soldiers were standing with three prisoners. The three of them were smoked with soot on their faces, and they looked like thieves, and when they saw someone staring at them, they quickly turned their heads.

"Just a few of them set the fire?!" Bald Blue yelled angrily.

Nick glanced at the guys, "While you were fighting the fire in front, these guys wanted to slip away from behind. I think even if they didn't set this fire, it has nothing to do with them. ”

"You bed bugs, why are you doing this!" Qiao Mei asked sharply, her voice full of anger, eager to dismantle them to pieces.

The other prisoners also reprimanded these arsonists, "You doglegs, you must be spies sent by the demon clan, and you want to secretly help that evil 'Protector Archmage' by destroying the war supplies we made!" ”

Cynthia was even more furious, picked up a piece of gravel and prepared to go up and knock open the skulls of the guys to see if it contained alpaca droppings.
