The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the streets of Tatto Town.
"Brutus, what are we going to do next?" Frank's hand covered his eyebrows, blocking the sun from his sight.
"Of course, everyone should go back to their homes, but I personally recommend that you find your neighbors. It would be better for several people to take turns keeping watch at night." Brutus replied to Frank with his back to the direction of the setting sun.
"how about you?"
Brutus thought for a moment and then said: "Me? I have to go back to Thuringia."
Frank was surprised at how rich Brutus was, and now he understood why Brutus was not prepared to stay with these people.
"Then, Mr. Brutus, be careful." Frank said goodbye to Brutus. "Those two weapons will be given to you."
Brutus smiled, pulled the money bag from his waist and threw it away: "Although it is definitely not enough, I still got some money."
He only had one silver lat and a dozen copper lats left in his purse, and he would definitely not be able to afford any weapons in exchange for them.
"Be careful, Frank, it might be dangerous tonight." He waved his hand, turned and left the street.
On the way back to Thuringia.
There were chewed corpses and scattered skeletons everywhere along the way. Some of these skeletons were wearing tattered clothes, while others were just bare skeletons.
Brutus always felt that this incident would not end so easily.
"Maybe after this incident, the funeral custom in Tatetuo Town will become that cremation is necessary." His thoughts began to wander involuntarily.
As for why he wanted to go back to Thuringia Road, of course it was because no one usually passed by that road, and the courtyards on both sides were uninhabited except for him. Since this attack was mainly caused by a pile of skeletons, it was in an uninhabited place.
Maybe you can lie down and watch a show...
"And I also have a blessed weapon, which might have miraculous effects on dark creatures?" he thought.
He walked quickly and returned to Thuringia No. 19 before the sun set completely below the horizon.
Pull down both door bolts of the main door, and then move a table against the door. This will probably make it much safer.
"You can't still climb over the wall." Brutus glanced at the four-meter-high courtyard wall and felt that the skeleton's legs wouldn't be able to jump so high.
What happened after that was very simple: move a chair to the attic, which is the highest point of the courtyard, and watch the show.
Since the highest houses in the town are only two stories high, the view from the two-and-a-half-story attic is quite wide.
Brutus looked at the continuous fire in the distance and said with emotion: "You really picked a good place. I didn't expect to burn down the civilian residential area first."
"If I were smarter, I would probably burn only the common people and leave the noble ones, and then provoke conflicts between the two sides." Brutus took a bite of fine wheat bread - he had just eaten dinner now.
He suddenly realized something very troublesome: "But if the fire cannot be controlled, well, I think it will be really difficult to control. The town's water source mainly depends on wells. In this case-"
It seems that the houses on Thuringia Road are all red brick buildings... Brutus doesn't know whether red bricks are flammable, but anyway, he has a reservoir full of water here.
"Just watch the show and be done with it."
As for helping? Overthinking it, the crisis that spreads all over the city is not much more than him, and it is not much less than him. And as a free citizen of the second lowest level, is it too demanding to bother to solve a large area of fires?
More?
"Selfishness is instinct." Brutus shook his head, picked up the bread and walked down to the attic.
And on the edge of the fire.
Captain William looked at the intensifying fire in front of him, and pulled over the guard camp guard who was passing by: "You ride on my horse, go to Baron Blanchard, and ask him to immediately give away all his water magic scrolls for free.
Provided to the Guard Battalion.”
"Yes, captain." After receiving the order, the guard mounted William's horse and hurried away.
"Damn it!" William ruthlessly rubbed his already messy hair, then picked up the bucket left by the guard just now and rushed into the fire.
"Work harder, guys!" He looked at the sweaty guards and shouted, "We can't surrender to those son-of-a-bitch wizards."
"Villette, why don't you go and help?" Benji stood on a roof that had not been affected by the fire and asked Violet who was sitting beside him.
A white bird was standing on his right shoulder, its eyes glowing with the red light of a distant fire.
Violet replied without raising her head: "It's not urgent, it's not time yet."
"You are so patient."
"Aren't you the same?" Violet asked back. "In the past, you would have rushed down with a roar and solved this inexplicable fire."
Benjie let out a slightly sinister laugh: "Haha, then you must have seen the wrong person before. Even I used to avoid the ruthless fire and water."
"Perhaps." Violet commented unequivocally, "But haven't your dear white birds brought you the most urgently needed information?"
"Our enemies may be hiding too well." Benjie gently stroked the little head of the white bird on his shoulder, "Or maybe this time it was an unexpected accident."
Violet glanced at Benji and shook her head: "It can only be said that his disguise is too subtle. But there will always be a time when he shows his true feet, and then the opportunity to end all this will come.
"
"You may be too optimistic, Violet." Benji released the white bird and looked at the shrinking white bird. "Where there is light, there is darkness. You don't think you can use it."
Destroy all darkness by force, right?"
"How will you know if you don't try? Or do you have any advice?"
"Me?" Benji said with a dumb smile, "Then you really think highly of me, Violet. I'm just a bird chaser, chasing those symbols of disaster until my death."
The fire gradually grew larger, and even though the guard camp had spent two lifetimes of effort, it still seemed a little weak in the environment where fires were everywhere.
They also have to thank the houses in Tateto town for not being densely built, otherwise the fire would have been more intense...
"Ah, the little guys have brought news." Benji stretched out his hand to let the white bird, which was slightly different from the one just set out, stand on his arm, and then gently placed his left hand on its little head.
.
"Then it's time to set off." Violet stood up and straightened her cloak.
"Yeah." Benjie let Shiratiao stand on his shoulder, "By the way, I've always had a question."
He looked at Violet's face covered by a veil and asked word by word: "Is all this worth it?"
Violet stared into Benji's eyes, her eyes full of indifference: "In order to avoid greater sacrifices, all this is certainly worth it."
