When Louis and Olivia arrived at the scene, they saw densely packed heads around the granary.
The royal guards and city guards who came after hearing the news were all attracted and surrounded the place on three levels inside and three outside.
After noticing Olivia's arrival, a group of people moved out of the way.
The head maid suddenly appeared next to Olivia like a ghost and whispered:
"Your Highness, the scene is still warm."
Little Swan said with a smile:
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of fire now."
She is in a good mood today.
Everything today is under her control.
Her eyes quietly looked at Louis.
"Louis, Louis, this granary explosion is not easy to deal with."
"This explosion has always been an unsolved case. I was supposed to leave it to you to investigate in my previous life, but in the end you left it to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Now that you are at the scene, there is no reason to run away!"
The little swan almost let out a happy goose call.
But perhaps considering that this was too immodest, she coughed and showed a kind smile:
"Louis, this matter..."
Louis suddenly understood and said first:
"I understand, Your Highness Olivia wants to handle it by herself."
"But please pay attention to the remaining fire at the scene."
Olivia's expression suddenly froze as she was about to say "goose goose".
Seeing the little swan running here so excitedly, Louis looked like "I'm very curious", so he just went with the flow and left it to her to handle.
"Anyway, this matter will not endanger the safety of the eldest wife. Little Swan can handle it if he wants to."
Lumi on the side showed a relieved smile.
"Your Highness has grown up and has begun to take the initiative to help Lady Beatrice with her worries."
happy.
Little Swan's "subjective initiative" has been too strong recently, and even Lumi misunderstood it.
Not to mention a group of royal guards.
Cygnet and Prince Louis used many clever tricks to nip the plague of the living dead in the bud.
This is something that all the brothers in the group know.
The two empires' wise men are now at the scene, and may be able to give some clues to the confused on-site investigators.
For a moment, the expectant eyes of Louis and others focused on the little swan.
While Little Swan's scalp was numb, he subconsciously raised his chest.
The little swan is like a cocked beak in the water.
If you are a fishing guy who claims to be an expert, no matter how hard you try to make a nest, the result will often be the Air Force.
However, a newbie might not be able to help but bite the bait as soon as the hook is thrown into the water.
So, the little swan took the bait without any surprise.
"Then let me see what's going on!"
"No, no, why did my body betray my will?"
The little swan screamed in her heart.
But the words had already been spoken, and after a long time, he could not take them back. He could only shrug his head in frustration and go over to see what was going on.
Louis also followed, and as soon as he entered, he saw a powerful soldier standing inside investigating.
——It's William.
But why does it feel different from William before?
At this time, William was squatting on the ground inspecting the traces.
Louis soon discovered that William's power was stronger than before.
His intuition told him that William had probably been promoted in his career or had achieved some kind of breakthrough.
Louis was filled with emotions for a while.
There are really countless heroes in this world.
I originally thought that Rimuru digested the power of the sapphire dragon and promoted his professional level promotion.
Now at LV4, he can already learn the level 2 martial arts of Nine Swords.
Before I could be happy, I suddenly found that people around me were promoted one after another.
Alice who was promoted to LV10.
The little swan suddenly felt threatened.
William who has undergone unknown changes.
Even Rimuru was promoted from a LV1 slime to a LV4 heterochromatic slime without blending into the giant slime.
Sure enough, it wasn’t just me who was cheating.
He couldn't help but sigh:
"There are a lot of cheats in the imperial capital, and there are even more under the royal family. I think too highly of myself."
Sensing the arrival of Louis and Olivia, William opened his mouth and said:
"Good day, Your Highness Louis, Your Highness Olivia. I'm sorry, the explosion attracted you here."
William knew that Louis was learning "craft" with Captain Jino today, but he did not expect that the second princess would also accompany Louis.
The little swan, on the other hand, rang the alarm bell wildly and opened her mouth to ask:
"Have you been promoted to the Iron Guard?"
——The meaning is naturally to ask William whether he has really taken back the shield and become a qualified steel warrior.
William smiled and nodded.
Olivia asked cautiously:
"who is it?"
But she actually already had the answer in her mind.
Eliminate her first.
Secondly, Sister Wang has already chosen another female official.
Then... wouldn't that leave only Louis?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"In his previous life, William did not choose his own [Destiny Master] until he went to the guillotine in the Kingdom of Huo."
"Why did you choose Huo Country directly in this life?"
Although he clearly guessed the result, Little Swan still looked at William with expectation.
It was as if she wanted to hear an unexpected answer from him.
As expected, William got the wrong answer.
"Of course His Highness Louis."
Little Swan's legs went weak.
Louis on the side gave her a tug for no apparent reason.
"Olivia, stand still."
Louis reminded.
"Who do you think I am like this because of?"
The little swan looked full of resentment, and then looked towards the granary.
"Are there any clues over there at the granary?"
"There is a possibility of arson, but there was an explosion at the scene. We have sent people to other granaries to check the situation."
This granary outside the palace is one of the several large granaries built by the royal family.
It is different from the row upon row of Chinese classical palaces.
The royal palace of the Unser Empire is more like a huge castle.
——It is still the kind with built-in defense and counterattack capabilities.
In order to ensure that the palace can rely on the palace to fight back, there are naturally many resource warehouses set up internally.
This granary is one of 10 spare grain warehouses.
Louis took a quick look and saw only a charred circular warehouse.
Olivia was in a very depressed mood and went directly to him.
The ground is littered with broken pieces of buildings.
It was as if someone had bombarded this place with dwarven artillery.
Louis also realized that the royal guards suspected that someone wanted to touch the royal grain reserves, so he directly sent people to other warehouses to inquire about the situation.
Olivia walked into the granary that had put out the fire and took a quick look.
The previous life was finally characterized as the result of "unknown people trying to invade the palace."
Olivia planned to do the same.
But before he could speak, Louis looked at the bag that had been burnt to charcoal and said:
"The food reserve here is flour?"
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.
Someone replied: "Yes, Your Highness, there were guards passing by the warehouse to check. Not long after opening the door and entering, it suddenly exploded."
"Fortunately, he is fine and has been sent to the church for treatment."
Louis said again: "Did anyone see the scene?"
A royal guard nodded:
"I was at the scene at the time, but I saw no trace of outsiders' activities."
"Someone may have placed a delayed trigger explosive device in the warehouse."
Louis thought for a moment and then said, "Can you get me a drying barrel?"
The little swan was puzzled: "What are you doing with the wine barrel?"
"As long as someone takes it, I might have an idea."
