Path of The Dragonborn

Chapter 89: Arsonist



"Philip, what time is it now?" Walking along the Meiwei Sea Road in the middle of the night, listening to the regular rhythm of the wave and watching the sky full of stars, Heliga knew that it might be late now.

"It's about 10:30 in the evening." Fei took out the watch and checked the time under the dim light.

"Oh...it's too late to go back...maybe it will disturb the dean and the rest..."

"Don't worry, the dean will rest later." Fei shook his head, "Let's go in gently from the backyard, as long as it doesn't disturb the children."

"Row."

"Kroth...should I go back?"

"It should be. The entrance control of the Wangli Academy is very strict. She should have gone back long ago. In other words, did she tell you about the school festival?"

"That's it. I want to see it." Fei nodded, the term academy festival, she is very strange, listening to Kloss's description is enough to arouse her interest.

"That's it." Heliga nodded, "Then, let's wait until the school festival is over, and then go to the next stop... But Fei, I actually have an idea..."

"Ok?"

"Wait for a turn around Libel... How about accompany me back to my hometown? It's been almost two years, I don't know how..."

"Heliga's hometown is... a small town in the southern part of the empire?"

"Well, we can actually see it when we come down the coast."

"Okay. Go back. At least you don't need to sleep on tree trunks and mud, right?"

"Ah ha ha……"

"Huh... and there is no need to eat unpalatable dry food... Speaking of eating, Estiel and Joshua just now..."

"Hmm..." Thinking of the scene he saw when he left Lu'an, Heliga was also a bit regretful, "As expected of the guerrillas, as soon as they arrived in the new city, someone invited them to a big meal...Although we have already Ate……"

"That uncle who seems to be a reporter? I always think they are going to exchange information."

"Really... Ah, here, Fei, let's go back soon, the lights are still on... Huh?" Heliga, who approached the orphanage, suddenly felt strange eyes staring at herself and Fei behind him, but that This feeling flashed past, and then there was no sign.

"Um..." Fei didn't feel that look, but smelled a familiar pungent smell, "Heliga, does the orphanage store gasoline?"

"How could it be... how could such a dangerous thing be stored in the orphanage...ah..."

Suddenly, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Dean Teresa is sitting in the room on the second floor of the orphanage. She had just settled in and the children had finished washing and going to bed. At this moment, the old clothes that the children had worn when they went out were in front of her.

"There are so many things to be repaired..." Although he said so, Dean Teresa didn't have any complaints. "This shows that the children are very energetic during the day..."

After the two foreign children were rescued, the children just escaped an attack without any risk. Although a little frightened, the children quickly regained their vitality with Koros, and even the closest Kram to the danger became alive again.

Thinking of the children's lively and mischievous appearance, Dean Teresa couldn't help but put a smile on her mouth. She rubbed her aching wrist, walked to the window, facing the bright moon in the sky, praying religiously: "Goddess, give these children a healthy and happy tomorrow..."

Suddenly, she heard a strange sound coming from outside the house.

Crackling... "This is... the firewood is on fire-awful!"

Dean Teresa reacted immediately—this is the sound of the fire igniting the firewood outside the orphanage!

"Who are you guys!" The young man's sharp drink cut through the silent night sky and caused the Dean Teresa in the room to stop for a moment.

"This voice is... Heliga...?"

————————————————————————————————

From asking about the pungent smell of gasoline around the orphanage, to confirming the moment when the fire blazed into the sky, it was only a moment.

However, judging from the empty oil barrels scattered around the corner and the dense muddy footprints around, this must have been deliberate arson.

What kind of person would attack an unarmed orphanage? Heliga thought so, his heart was filled with inexplicable anger.

One-handed life detection technique is raised-at this moment, he can't care about hiding his strength. The safety of the children and the dean of the orphanage is the most important-in the orphanage, the four weak life reactions are all upstairs. One after another in the compartment, and at the other end, someone was moving in a panic towards the other side—no doubt, this was Dean Teresa who had noticed the beginning of the fire and tried to wake the children to flee here.

"There are traces of adults passing by. The technique is very amateur, not by hunters or trained professionals." Fei just glanced casually, and saw a lot of information, "I will go inside to meet the dean, Heliga. Chase the arsonists. They can't run far."

"Okay. Fei, be careful yourself." He was very assured of Fei's strength. He knew that she would not be injured because of it, just as Fei firmly believed that Heliga could successfully find the arsonist and bring him back. This is the trust and tacit understanding formed between the two.

In fact, Heliga had no challenges at all. The arsonist hid in the lawn not far from the orphanage almost the moment he was discovered, and was easily spotted by Heliga and passed out.

"Next, as long as you control these two people, and then report to the Guerrilla Association or the Army of the Kingdom..."

"That won't work." A magnetic voice rang behind him, making the boy's body tense in an instant. "If caught here, it will be very troublesome for us."

The man in black with a mask on his head, his hands drooping naturally, looks full of flaws-but based on the ineffectiveness of the life detection spell, it can be seen that he is definitely not as easy to take as it seems. under. And Heliga can also be sure at this time that the feeling of being peeped just now is definitely not an illusion, and the eight achievements come from this man.

"What kind of dirty underground trading was involved in your behavior, or something else, it doesn't matter to me as a foreigner... and to be honest, I am not like a guerrilla. It is my duty to maintain justice and protect civilians. of……"

"So?" the man asked with interest.

"Theoretically, I can go back and say that I haven't caught anyone to refuse, but oh..." The magic energy of the left hand gathers, and the "Wind Blade" of the right hand clenches tightly. How, is it beyond the scope of "general evil"? "

"If you can, I don't want to do it tonight." The man in front of him still didn't mean to do it, he was still in a pose full of flaws. "We didn't intend to hurt anyone in that orphanage. In fact, if you didn't intervene. , It should be me now to take them to a safe place... So how about letting go? You have said that the things involved behind this matter have nothing to do with you."

"Really?" Heliga smiled lightly, "Sounds good, but unfortunately, I have promised Fei that I will show the arsonist to her. Even if it is just to satisfy her wishes and expectations, I can't Promise your request."

"Really?" The masked man sighed softly, "That's okay...Let me see, your power belongs to the "outside the world". "A one-handed broadsword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he walked slowly towards Heliga. Although he did not deliberately do so, the strong and solemn vindictiveness already gave people a huge sense of oppression.

The most important thing is the sentence he just said, "The outside world"?

Could it be that the man in front of him saw this power-does not belong to this world?

P.S: The Sword Emperor is on the scene~Sahua~In fact, he did not appear in this plot in the original work, but the follow-up plot mentions that he saved the children. I don't think he will be too far away and fly over... it must be hidden somewhere nearby.
