Starting from the ominous alarm bell early in the morning, Fantino has remained unchanged for thousands of years, stinking like a pool of stagnant water. The rigid life covered with a thick layer of duckweed is like being thrown into a huge stone.
Broken.
And it set off a huge wave, making everyone in Fantino City dizzy.
While the two culprits Leo and Vera were busy discussing with Lorraine about dividing the loot, the news that the Grand Museum had been stolen spread throughout Fantino.
Sunny day~that~thunderbolt~!
The elderly priests, with sad expressions on their faces, gathered in front of the large museum as if they had lost a relative, mourning in silence for the thousand-year-old essence they had lost.
The young priests were more curious than surprised.
They whispered to each other in low voices at the outermost edge, and couldn't help but sigh. Those brave heroes actually dared to attack the museum. This was truly audacious.
Then, news of the outrage from the top officials came. Immediately afterwards, an order was issued and everyone hurriedly started martial law throughout the city.
The air in Fantino City instantly became tense.
Under that strict order, everyone looked like a local dog, their eyes widened and they sniffed the smell in the air carefully.
Pilgrims are asked not to enter or exit Vatican City as much as possible. If they do, they must be carefully searched by guards before they are allowed to leave.
The news that came later made the Vatican people tremble in their hearts: It was said that this incident was actually related to that damn Lorraine again~!
God bless me, every time I encounter this super gangster, the Holy See will always suffer a big loss~!
Although all the past conflicts between the Holy See and Lorraine have been covered up for the sake of the church's face, there is no impermeable wall in the world.
The old guys within the Holy See knew those things very well. When they heard that it was Lorraine again, after a group of people were carried out of the Assembly Hall, another group of people were carried out of the Grand Museum.
The ensuing citywide search sent Fantino into a frenzy. Thousands of years of peace and countless peaceful days all came to an end at this moment.
The senior officials were extremely angry because they were so lax in guarding the Holy City. They caught the senior officers and cursed them bloody.
The senior officers were so angry that they immediately turned around and scolded the junior officers. Finally, I added, if you can't find something or someone, just wash your neck.
Just wait~!
Of course, junior officers will not feel bad if they are angry, because according to surveys, it is easy to get cirrhosis of the liver.
Therefore, they vented their anger on the heads of their knights and soldiers.
The knights and guards could not find anyone to vent their anger on, so they could only vent their anger on the common people.
They rushed to every citizen's home angrily and turned their homes upside down. But everyone dared not speak out in anger.
At most, they can only curse a few words in their hearts: They don't dare to attack Lorraine, who is the most suspected, they can only torment us ordinary people, what the hell~!
The guards could also see their thoughts in the disdainful and hostile eyes of the residents, but it was precisely because they knew that they had now become the shameless villains in the novel that they felt a sense of frustration and guilt.
After all, they are all glorious knights of the Holy See, younger brothers of the Father God who spreads light to all directions and loves all people.
However, in order to keep their jobs, they had no choice but to play out the drama. Because, no matter how bold they were, they did not dare to question Obacham's statement.
Night finally fell, and everyone thought that this troubled day was over, and then fell asleep exhausted, praying that everything would become better tomorrow.
But they don't know that there is a group of valuable people who are loyal to their duties and are still unwilling to give up.
Fantino soon fell silent at night.
There is no moon tonight, and a bright star river streaks across the zenith, emitting an infinitely alluring light.
On the streets outside the VIP Hotel, there were shadowy black figures walking back and forth quietly, and several people looked towards the VIP Hotel at the intersection.
And in an invisible dark alley, a large group of people were huddled together, talking in low voices.
"Char, is the person you contacted reliable?" A person surrounded by everyone asked eagerly.
"What are you talking about? Are there any unreliable people in Fantino?" the man named Charles said dissatisfied.
"I'm talking about whether that person will take action on time. After all, it's under Sir Luo's nose. If he is discovered, it will be a serious crime and we will all have to finish the game."
Charles patted his chest and said, "Don't worry~! My brother is on duty in the kitchen. We all know that the kitchen is prone to fire..."
After saying that, Ciel laughed meaningfully.
The leader looked up at the dark buildings not far away, sighed softly, and said: "In order to find evidence of their crime and to seek justice, we have to set fire to Fantino City.
Father God forgive us.”
"May Father God forgive us." Everyone also made the sign of the cross on their chests and murmured in a low voice. But many of them were already intoxicated with tears in their eyes - "We are doing this for justice."
Justice, is there anyone greater than us in this world?'
The leader paused for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, everyone. Things have been prepared for a long time. A few piles of firewood will be lit outside the courtyard and the back kitchen. It will not hurt the VIP hotel. After all, after the big museum
, we can’t afford any more losses.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The leader nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "That's good, give them a signal and prepare for action. As mentioned above, as long as they can copy the things from the big museum, someone will come out so that the damn Earl can't eat it.
Just walk around. And everyone is getting promoted and getting rich, so there are many benefits."
Everyone was a little excited at that moment, lowered their voices, and agreed in unison. In the excitement, they didn't notice it, or they noticed it, but deliberately ignored it - it turned out that everyone was shouting slogans so loudly, they were
When I was intoxicated, my eyes filled with tears, but in the end, in the final analysis, it was still for promotion and wealth.
The leader looked back at a priest behind him.
The pastor smiled slightly, then lifted the package in his hand and shook it to signal him. During the slight swing, a crisp sound of metal hitting each other came from the package.
It was taken from the big museum. We had already agreed that if we couldn't find anything, we would give that nasty Lorraine a false start. We would put the stuff in his place and then search it out in public.
By that time, even if his whole body is covered with mouth, he probably won’t be able to quibble anymore~!
At the same time, in the living room of the VIP hotel, all the lights in the room were extinguished.
The room was dark, and they should have been in a deep sleep at this time, but Lorraine and the others gathered here without any sleep.
Lester leisurely held a cup of hot tea and sat on the only normal sofa in the living room. He sang the song "Empty City Strategy" leisurely, "I am watching the mountain view from the tower..."
Leo put on his pajamas and lay on top of the window. He looked out with his eyes wide open and muttered dissatisfied: "Where is it? Why can't we see anyone? Bad...Grandpa, you can't
Are you being deceived? If they don't come tonight, our play won't be able to go on."
Hearing Leo's worries, Lester immediately added: "It turns out they were soldiers sent by Almohad..."
After he finished reciting this banyan, he snorted dissatisfiedly and said: "On such a dark sky, you can only see a ghost if you can see it~!"
Lester closed his eyes as if thinking. After a while, he opened his eyes and said: "There are three at the intersection, and there are many in the street in front, but I can't count the number of people..."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then added: "Oh~! There are also people on the road behind. With so many people staying up at night, they can't be watching out for us, right?"
Leo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I don't have the strength to put all the furniture back."
Lorraine sat cross-legged on a table. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "What does it matter? Even if they don't come, I will set the fire tonight."
Leo had the personality of a rogue politician who was afraid of the world being in chaos, and would look for trouble even when he had nothing to do. After hearing what Lorraine said, his big eyes rolled around, he patted his fat little paws, and praised loudly: "Great!"
, it’s really tall. The boss is the boss.”
Lorraine looked at the little gangster with gleaming eyes, then he smiled and said: "Stop flattering me, I tell you, it's useless~!"
You've gotten into such a big trouble, why don't you think about how to deal with Nicole when you go back? I guess all your skin will be peeled off by her."
Leo's little face instantly turned white.
However, the young father-in-law had a serious personality and he quickly recovered.
Leo gritted his little white teeth and said resolutely: "Never mind it~! Anyway, it's already like this, I'm done with it, let's get over it first.
Boss, you must leave the lighting to me."
Lorraine admired Leo's sudden bachelorhood, and laughed and said: "Okay, it's rare for you to have such heroic spirit. When you grow up, you will definitely be a qualified politician of the generation."
"Shush~!" At this time, Lester shouted in a low voice. He quickly made a silent gesture and said: "Someone is coming out."
As a magician, monitoring the surrounding movements is only a basic skill, not to mention that for Lester, any disturbance in the yard cannot escape the detection magic he deployed early in the morning.
Leo took a risk and took a look, then quickly pulled back.
"Good guy, you really told me, that guy is stacking firewood in the yard. Now they are going to get serious." He slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
"Very good~!" Lorraine smiled evilly, raised the torch, and was about to light it, but then he saw Leo blinking his big eyes across from him and looking at him longingly, and he couldn't help but feel soft at the moment.
He thought for a moment, then threw the oil-stained torch to Leo and said, "Come on, come and give them a surprise."
Leo was overjoyed at the moment and hurriedly took the torch.
He grinned proudly and said: "Nicole has not let me play with fire since I was a child. I always say that playing with fire makes me wet the bed. Today I am waiting."
Lester snapped his fingers casually, sparks flashed, and the torch in Leo's hand burst into flames.
Leo grinned widely and walked to the piles of messy furniture, and poked the torch into the middle of the furniture with a satisfied expression.
Among the furniture were torn down velvet curtains and white, delicate linen tablecloths. These would catch fire, and the flames would shoot up, illuminating the entire room.
Leo held up the revolver in his waist and shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's on fire~!"
Lester put down the tea cup leisurely, sat up slowly, and walked out the door.
When walking past Lorraine, Lester reached out and patted Lorraine on the shoulder, gave Lorraine a thumbs up, and then said with admiration: "This is what the Mage Association has achieved for Fantino in the past few hundred years.
The most perfect and greatest victory~!
This is a victory that will surely go down in history~!
Well done, boy~!
Hahaha, I don’t think any of those old people in Prague will dare to breathe in front of me in the future. No matter how awesome they are, who the hell dares to be like me and come to the Holy City to steal things and set things on fire, hahaha...
…”
He laughed loudly and hummed a tune, clasping his hands behind his back, taking square steps, and slipped out: "I was watching the mountain scenery from the tower, when suddenly I heard a commotion below the city, with flags and flags fluttering in the sky. It turned out to be Almohad
The soldiers were sent..."
At this time, orange flames rushed out, and red tongues of flame licked the ceiling.
The house was also filled with billowing smoke.
Leo threw away the torch in his hand, then slapped Xiao Bai, took out his small revolver, waved it and said: "Let's go and catch that scapegoat. If you dare to trick me, the young master, I will spend the next life, no, the next life."
.”
Lorraine picked up the short gun next to him, loaded the bullet with a click, then jumped down from the table, kicked the table over, put the short barrel shotgun on his shoulder, smiled evilly, and walked out of the door.
"There's a fire~! Come and put out the fire~!" A sharp female voice shouted loudly.
A hoarse shout came from the VIP hotel. In this silent night, this shout was especially loud.
The sound woke up the residents near the VIP hotel. Before they could fully wake up, there was an even louder noise outside.
"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly~!"
"Fight the fire~!"
"..."
Following the shouts, more than a hundred guards who had been preparing for a long time rushed towards the VIP hotel with sticks in hand.
Because they thought it was a fake fire arranged by the response staff in the VIP hotel, among them, only a few people were carrying buckets ready to put out the fire. And this was just a show.
The guards rushed to the door of the VIP hotel, only to find that the door of the VIP hotel that should have been opened was locked tightly at this time.
Although this was inconsistent with the plan, they didn't think much about it. The leader immediately shouted righteously: "It's important to save people, open the door."
The guard at the front did not hesitate and pushed the door with all his strength, shouting slogans and exerting his strength together.
Amidst the roar of the security guard, "Ho, ho", the door of the VIP hotel clanged.
Finally, the door bearing could not bear the huge force and broke with a click, and the door fell down miserably.
The guard posted on the door was unprepared and fell to the ground like a gourd rolling on the ground.
Before they could get up, the eager companions behind them had already jumped over their bodies and rushed towards the residence in the atrium.
Justice is ahead~!
Opportunities for promotion and fortune are also ahead~!
As long as the stolen goods are found, as long as the frame-up is successful, everyone will be rich and official~!
Under the stimulation of these thoughts, everyone's faces turned purple, as if they had been smeared with pig blood.
They rushed into the VIP hotel quickly, bypassing the concierge and the small garden in front. Just when they had already seen hope, justice that would win, and opportunities for promotion and wealth.
At this moment, the scene in front of them made the guards who rushed in froze in place like chickens!
I saw that more than half of the hall of the VIP hotel was burning blazingly. There was a crackling sound in the flames. The flames burst out from the windows and were gradually spreading upward. The entire front yard was illuminated by the fire as bright as day.
The staff in the VIP hotel shouted for people to put out the fire.
"This..." The leader was immediately stunned.
Charles was also stunned and murmured: "I didn't let him really have a fever~! This..."
The guard behind him said in panic: "Captain, what should we do, Captain!"
The guard shouted in the leader's ear. The leader shuddered and said "Ah" before he woke up. "What else can we do? Everyone go put out the fire." The leader loudly ordered the guards.
The guards panicked for a while, then threw away the sticks in their hands, searched the yard for tools that could hold water, and then rushed to the reservoir.
"It's so good of you to come." An aunt who worked in a VIP hotel ran out of nowhere, grabbed the leader's arm, and said angrily: "We caught the criminal who set the fire. This bad guy actually wanted to
Burn us to death, and may the thunderbolt of God the Father crush him to pieces.”
"What arsonist? You..."
Several strong cooks, holding iron drills, brooms, rolling pins and other things in their hands, worked together to drag a man and threw him at the leader's feet.
"It's this devil. Thanks to the kind little uncle Leo, His Highness discovered the fire and called us up. When we came out, we saw this devil burning the pyre in the kitchen." The big broom in the aunt's hand was on this person.
He patted him hard and said, "Thank you to the brave Lord Lorraine for subduing this arsonist."
"Ah...this...this" the leader felt that his brain was not enough, the plan was not like this.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do. Sir, I am born with integrity and kindness. There is nothing I can do about it." Lorraine carried his short gun on his shoulder, walked slowly from behind, and then said to
The aunt smiled and said, "It's good that everyone is safe. No one is inside."
The cook aunt hurriedly saluted Lorraine and said excitedly: "I ordered it, and everyone came out safely. Thank you to the brave young master Leo, who went to the room to wake us up. Your Highness did not care about his own safety.
, actually taking risks for us, we are really... really..."
Lorraine smiled and said "Yeah", and then looked around to see where that little gangster Leo had gone. Unexpectedly, when others praised him, he didn't see his happy figure~!
Lorraine felt strange and thought to herself: "This kid was clearly beside me just now, but where did he go? Really, I can't help but keep an eye on him for a while."
But on the surface, Lorraine still smiled kindly at the cooks and said: "This is exactly what we should do. This captain and the arsonist will be handed over to you. In addition, I think your people are not
That’s enough, why don’t you go back and call for some reinforcements?”
"What reinforcements?" The guard leader was still in a daze at this moment. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing, and said urgently: "Yes, yes, reinforcements. I'm going to get reinforcements right now."
As he spoke, he raised his head and saw Lorraine's teasing eyes. He looked at him as if he was watching a monkey playing tricks. The leader was shocked, knowing that the intentions of his group were completely betrayed by Lorraine.
If you see through it, you may even fall into Lorraine's trap again.
At this time, I heard someone behind me whispering: "Are we still framed?"
The guard captain immediately turned around and glared fiercely. At this time, everyone has already arrived. If you try to frame him again, it will be useless~!
At this moment, a loud shout came from behind him: "What happened here?"
A tall figure wearing a red bishop's robe strode in from outside.
After the guard leader saw the cardinal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Sir, there is a fire here, and we are here to put out the fire."
Lorraine carefully looked at the cardinal who came in from top to bottom, looking at him with playful eyes.
The cardinal's clothes were neat and meticulous, and every ribbon and pattern was missing.
Lorraine knew that it would take a lot of time to put on this set of red robes. From the time he called out to put out the fire until now, he has only been here for a short time. The cardinal must have been sitting at home waiting for a long time.
.
Under Lorraine's gaze, the cardinal couldn't help but feel guilty and his eyes were a little dodgey.
He bowed slightly to Lorraine and said, "Your Excellency, I wonder if you and all the distinguished guests were injured?"
Lorraine said "Yeah", then put the short gun on his shoulder, like a shoulder pole, with both hands on the barrel, and then said: "Fortunately, the people here discovered the fire in time, Your Highness Leo
Both Grand Magister Lester and Master Lester quickly left the room. Everything is fine with them now, but..."
"Just what?" asked the cardinal.
Lorraine shook his head and sighed: "It's just that His Highness Leo and Grand Magister Lester encountered someone maliciously setting fire to the city of Fantino. If something happened, it might lead to a big disaster.
There was a theft just yesterday, and someone set a fire today. The security in Fantino City needs to be strengthened. Regarding this matter, I think the Ruman Empire will ask Fantino for an explanation."
"Arson? Why did I hear that it was an accidental fire?" The cardinal was startled by Lorraine's words. He looked at the leader of the guard sternly and scolded: "What the hell is going on, Captain Ford, you
Explain it clearly to me."
Captain Ford, the leader of the guard, shrank his neck in fright and said: "We just heard that there was a fire and came to put out the fire. We don't know what happened."
The cook stood up bravely and said loudly: "I know, I know, I saw it all. When we heard the fire and ran out of the room, we were watching this man sneaking around in the kitchen.
Burning the pyre. It was he who set the fire."
The cook raised her big foot, kicked the arsonist on the ground hard, and said to the cardinal angrily.
The cardinal's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He raised his hand and gave Captain Ford a resounding slap in the face, and cursed loudly: "Idiot, you are a loser. Why don't you hurry up and send more people to put out the fire?"
Captain Ford stood and shouted: "Yes, as ordered~!"
Then, he raised his legs and ran outside.
The cardinal hates him so much that he is going to fall out. This guy is really rich. Even if you leave, you have to wipe the shit off your butt first~!
He immediately shouted angrily: "Come back!"
"yes."
"Take this damn criminal to the court and interrogate him strictly."
"This..." Ford hesitated.
"Huh~?" The cardinal snorted coldly and cast a look.
"Yes, sir." Ford immediately came to his senses and agreed hurriedly.
Lorraine watched the performance of the cardinal and the leader of the guards with cold eyes. When the guards dragged away the arsonist on the ground, the cardinal bowed to Lorraine and said: "We are extremely sorry for causing a shock to His Excellency the Earl and His Royal Highness Leo.
.”
Lorraine snorted and said: "Is sorry enough? If that's the case, why are there courts and prisons in this world?"
He paused for a moment, and then said: "I will formally protest to your Pope regarding this matter. You must give us Ruman people a reasonable explanation."
The leader in red was stunned for a moment, then said with a slumped expression: "That is your power, Your Excellency."
The cardinal knew that his political life was over. He came up with a seemingly good idea and then messed it up. His responsibility has been taken, and the big shots in the Holy See will be happy to use him as a scapegoat.
Man has an explanation.
At this time, Lester, dressed in a black robe, strode out of the darkness. He had been staring in the dark at the priest who was planning to frame him, and was waiting for him to take action to expose the fool on the spot.
But after waiting for so long, I saw that the man was shrinking back. I couldn't help but feel disappointed, and then I showed myself.
He looked at the fire in front of him, stretched out his hands, and whispered a few words.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a torrent rising into the sky from the well next to me, and then turned into raindrops all over the sky, scattered on the fire. Then I heard a "chichi" sound from the flames.
The fire was immediately stopped.
Countless white steam rose up, and the fire became smaller and smaller.
As the well water continued to gush out, the fire was about to be extinguished.
At this moment, I heard another chaos outside.
Everyone was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, someone shouted loudly: "It's on fire, it's on fire~!"
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised and looked at each other. At this time, why are there still people coming and shouting fire? Could it be that during the ambush, there was a bastard who fell asleep on the ground and just woke up?
Then everyone turned their heads to look, and suddenly felt their whole bodies tense.
