Chapter 146: Fire Dragon Burning Warehouse
Late at night, when everything is still, there are not many people to be seen on the streets of the city center except for a few drunkards who collapsed on the ground, let alone the warehouse area.

Sheriffs can't be counted on, they mainly serve wealthy areas, so usually caravans will arrange guards on duty to prevent petty theft.

But obviously they are sleepy today...

Lance snuffed out the incense in his hand. Looking at the guard who was sleeping like a dead pig, he had to say that this thing is quite easy to use, and it can make people fall in three to five seconds.

Picking up the warehouse key, he swaggered open the door and walked in.

When the candlelight rises, the warehouse in front of you is not the kind of modern warehouse, it is actually a house, but there is no division of rooms inside, only a few support beams, and the second floor is separated to maximize the use of space. goods.

It's just that the situation made him a little disappointed. The warehouse is not full, but only half of it is stacked. It seems that the environment is not good recently, and even he doesn't have much stock.

But Lance didn't seem to waste any time, he directly pulled out his dagger and cut through a bag, the grains inside slid down, and after making sure there was no problem, he started to act.

His idea is very simple, that is, to use the space of the showroom to transfer grain, and then burn down the warehouse, everything under the flames will be buried.

Wherever he raised his hand, the bags of grains he touched quickly disappeared, but he still left some of them.

In ancient times, fire dragons were particular about burning granaries. They didn’t really eat them clean, but used old grains to transfer new grains to pay the price difference. As for the old grains, they were burned directly, and only the ashes left in this way were used for inspection by the higher authorities. Only then will the problem not be seen.

The wisdom of the ancestors must not be lost!

Of course, the Jean Merchant Group can produce such a large amount of goods, of course not only grains, but also a series of farm products such as ale brewed from wheat and dried bacon.

And it was all his tonight.

Lance wasn't tired at all. There's nothing better than a super-big purchase that doesn't cost money, and if it does, it's only on a bigger scale.

But suddenly he paused, and a wonderful look appeared on his face.

Because after the grain on the surface was removed, one of the wooden boxes was revealed.

When I opened it, I found that they were all the standard weapons of the Empire. Without thinking, this guy, Jean, must have been smuggling the equipment of the city defense army by virtue of his brother-in-law being the logistics manager.

Hurry up and dig out several similar boxes from the food, daggers, chain armor, cotton padded clothes... What surprised him even more was the two boxes of brand new long-barreled flintlock guns, and the two boxes mixed in the wine barrels. barrels of gunpowder.

There are not many weapons and equipment, and a few boxes can equip 50 people, which is nothing compared to the thousands of city defense troops.

But gunpowder is a consumable, and it is easier to get out than these weapons and equipment, so there are more than 30 barrels in quantity.

And these are the supplies that Lance is in short supply.

Lance didn't expect this unexpected joy at all, and the uncontrollable joy distorted his face.

It's all mine!

It's all mine! ! !

…………

"Oh!"

A huge explosion sounded, directly waking up the sleeping guard. He was dazed and only saw an orange red in front of his eyes. The hot feeling made him lick his lips subconsciously, and murmured as if he hadn't woken up.

"Why is the candle so big..."

"Oh!"

There was another loud bang, and the shock wave came with the heat wave, directly knocking the guard to the ground, and he didn't realize what had happened until he got up again. Looking at the warehouse engulfed by the flames in front of him, his sanity was completely terrified Take it away, and after two seconds of being stunned, I yelled loudly.

"Burn... it's burning!"

…………

"Have you heard? There was a big explosion at the dock warehouse last night."

"Who doesn't know, last night when I slept soundly, there was a sudden loud noise, and I was woken up by fright."

"I've also heard that it's the warehouse of the Zein Merchant Group. Don't they sell food? How could there be an explosion?"

"Go and see?"

"Let's go!"

In this boring era without much entertainment, any little thing may become a talking point, let alone a big event like the bombing, which has attracted many good people to come and eat melons.

More and more people gathered at the warehouse, most of these people were businessmen nearby, including Tiffany.

The station was nearby, and she was awakened when she heard the explosion in the early hours of the morning, but she didn't care, and didn't rush here until she heard that there was an accident in the warehouse.

In this era, fires are very serious, and they can easily be connected together, and my life-saving food is in the warehouse, so don't be affected.

Fortunately, the warehouses were all single buildings, and the fire did not spread, but what surprised her was that the warehouse where the accident happened belonged to the Gene Merchant Group.

At this time, the place had already been burned to ruins, and the huge warehouse collapsed and buried everything, only wisps of smoke rising from above could be seen.

A large group of people surrounded the outer circle. Tiffany didn't know exactly what happened, but when she squeezed in, she happened to find that Lance was among these people.

Surprise popped up, knowing that I only brought him here yesterday, and something happened to Gene's warehouse today.

If you say it's okay, she doesn't believe it at all, but it's not easy to ask in this situation, so I can only walk forward to him.

And at this time, he found that he was laughing while looking at the ruins?
And it's not the kind of gloating smile, but the joy from the heart, which gives people an indescribable sense of weirdness in this disaster environment.

"what are you laughing at?"

"Why can't you laugh when you see your opponent getting unlucky?"

Lance seemed to have noticed Tiffany's approach early on, and didn't react much.

At this time, a carriage drove up, attracting everyone's attention.

A well-dressed fat man struggled to get out of the carriage, followed by more than a dozen guards in the same clothes trotting all the way.

"Is he Gene?"

"That's right~" It seemed that just hearing this name made Tiffany feel sick to her stomach.

Lance observed the fat man, whose stomach was at least six months old, and his age was at least forty, so he could be her father, no wonder Tiffany was so disgusted.

When Gene went down to the ground and saw that his warehouse had been turned into ruins, his rationality was instantly taken over by rage, and he walked forward quickly with his big belly, and angrily reprimanded the guard.

"Why is it burning?"

"Why was there no fire?"

"Why is that?"

The guard hurriedly defended, but it only aroused Jin's anger, and he beat the guard directly in front of everyone.

The people on the field didn't react too much to this scene, even Tiffany just frowned, and the look of disgust on her face was more aimed at the fat man.
