Chapter 37: Getting Prepared to Advance
Annan boiled the water skillfully and poured herself a cup of tea
Then, he sat at the table and looked at Salvatore, as slumped in his chair, “What is the result of the analysis? Was it successful?”
“Naturally, I have succeeded,” Salvatore yawned and replied lazily, “It’s almost dawn Why haven’t you slept yet?”
“I probably can’t get to sleep today”
The young feudal lord sighed, “Just when you were analyzing in the basement, we had another major incident
“Just now, there werefroht weapons and broughtto sneak into the city”
Annan emphasized the word “robber”
He believed that Salvatore would understand what he meant
“What? More than fifty barrels?”
Hearing this amount, even Salvatore was taken aback
He was surprised by the news He even choked halfway in his yawn
Because he knew very well how
For example, to burn Don Juan’s shi+p, only a total of ten barrels of Black Fire would be enough Having an arrorapped with cotton cloth dip in Black Fire was enough to burn down a house The inite the Black Fire easily
For the case of these fifty-plus barrels of Black Fire…
The intruders only had to pile them around the house; Annan and Salvatore would be burned to death Even the surrounding street would be burned down After all, the relentless black flauished with mere water It was impossible to isolate the air from the fire too
Once the tizards, Salvatore and Annan, died, it would be difficult for ordinary people to handle the dangerous flauards happened to be returning to Freezing Water Port today and noticed the intruders during their journey Bless Silver Sire My luck is not bad”
Annan put down the teacup and slowly said, “My loyal and brave guards found a way to le into the crowd and detonated some Black Fire They stirred up chaos and burned ht the militias withrobber
“Now, there are ed the to the preservation method you mentioned before I also covered the Black Fire barrels with leaves to prevent light fro them”
The reason Annan did not tell the truth here was also siht be much lower than that of this lie
Could the forty young unranked swordsmen in their early twenties and thirties kill more than one hundred experienced private troops with no casualties? They even fought with the enemies around the Black Fire barrels, and yet none suffered a burn injury
If Annan told the truth, Salvatore would think Annan was hiding so
“Fifty barrels of Black Fire… They are too cruel”
Salvatore took a deep breath and clenched his fists in disbelief, “Where does Alvin Barber get the confidence to do so? Is he not afraid that we ht survive?”
“I am the Black Tower’s successor You are the Old Crow’s… I mean, one of the only three sons of Count Geraint No matter which of us survives, he will end up in a bad situation!”
Just thinking about the possibility that after he ca flames that he could not escape and could only be burned to death, Salvatore was startled
“I also thought about this”
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, “Moreover, the conflict between us is far less serious This is equivalent to an argu tooat each other’s throats
“So, I can only think of one possibility”
“You mean, it wasn’t Alvin Barber?” Salvatore reacted quickly
“At least, he must have taken someone’s orders or was instructed by others”
Annan replied affirmatively, “The older a person is, the more worries he has, and the er, he er It is even more impossible to send out one hundred people of suicide squad for such a trivial reatly reduce his control over his private army”
“Unless this is not a trivial matter”
Salvatore added to Annan’s words, “He didn’t retaliate against you because of the previous incident Fro, he had planned to kill you or destroy Freezing Water Port”
Suddenly, Salvatore came to a realization He could not help but admire the twelve years old feudal lord
At least when Salvatore was at Don Juan’s age, he still innocently caught fish by the river Neveries, Salvatore was illiterate at that age
“It see in that Black Fire sa Salvatore’s expression, Annan raised hisfox, “Is it convenient for you to tellthat needs to be kept secret”
Salvatore gave a slightly aard cough, “Actually, I a at Annan’s suspicious gaze, he immediately explained, “I checked and found that they are h they are sold under the na my internshi+p, so the stability is so bad”
“Well, I understand”
Annan nodded
