On the gray streets of Tingen, a carriage drove unhurriedly.

There is a drizzle in the sky, but this is not the rain brought by the sky.

Because of the large amount of dust mixed in, every drop of water falling from the sky is turbid.

This is a black rain.

"Ahem..."

The choking smell was also lingering in the air, causing Lucid to cough.

She felt that this breath was an ominous taste.

After taking out the satin handkerchief from his pocket and covering his mouth and nose, it felt a little better.

"Ugh……"

While resisting the murmur that came from her ears, while resisting the pervasive burnt smell, she couldn't help frowning.

This feeling is really terrible.

But helpless, Lucid, who was helpless about this, could only start to think about it, to resist the whispers in his ears.

"Intis, Hoy, fire..."

Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of light in my mind, but I couldn't grasp it.

The whisper in the ear is really annoying.

"Oh, why did the people on Intis create this fire?"

I don't understand.

The carriage drove along the muddy street, leaving a shallow rut, under which a hard bluestone slab was exposed.

This is due to a layer of wet ashes on the stone road.

The carriage continued to move forward, and in a short while it left the Jinwutong area.

After leaving the Jinwutong District, the streets on both sides are densely packed with refugees.

They were homeless, so they had to sleep on the streets, enduring the washing of gray and black rain.

Frowning, Lucid stared blankly at the scene out of the car window.

At this time, the carriage passed by the Church of St. Selena.

On the huge white square outside the church, densely packed with unkempt refugees, almost crowded the entire square.

"Ugh……"

She couldn't help sighing again.

The carriage continued to move forward, and after passing St. Selena’s Church, it quickly reached 36 Zotland Street.

After getting off the carriage under the umbrella, Lucid carefully walked down the muddy road with his skirt.

Pushing open the door with the sign "Black Thorns Mercenary Group", she shook the black water droplets on the umbrella and walked in.

The resident with the doors and windows closed was filled with the smell of a mixture of mint and tobacco.

Unprepared, Lucid took a big breath.

"Ahem... ahem, ahem."

The choking smell made her cough and choked, and it also alarmed Monaghan in the head of the group.

"Who?"

Pushing open the door, he glanced at Lucid stooping and coughing with some surprise, and said in doubt:

"Shirin, why are you here?"

After the incident in the town of Morse, the names of the night watchers changed to Lucid, from the beginning "Miss Frein" to the current "Schilling".

This can be regarded as a kind of recognition!

It took a long time for Lucid to slow down after slapping his Ma Pingchuan wealth.

He glanced at Monaghan with a bandage on his face, and said stiffly:

"Nothing to do, just drop by and have a look..."

After returning to Tingen that night, the Night Watcher squad plunged into the fire and started rescue work for civilians.

The bandage on Monaghan's face was wrapped up at that time because it was accidentally injured.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and it was a kind of skin trauma that could recover within ten days and a half month.

Hearing this, he was stunned and asked subconsciously:

"Don't you need to deal with family affairs..."

Immediately after a pause, he suddenly realized:

"Oh... by the way, your home is in Jinwutong District."

Lucid vaguely saw that a flash of regret appeared on Monaghan's beard and scum's face, but it soon hid it.

"Ugh……"

After sighing, he frowned slightly, and smiled reluctantly:

"Since you have nothing to do, come and take a look at this dossier!"

This is undoubtedly a change of topic, but Lucid does not intend to expose it.

Nodded, took the file that was handed over, and looked at it carefully with a ray of light leaking through the gap in the curtain.

This is impressively a dossier about the death of Baron Hoy.

Looking at it, she couldn't help but touch her nose.

"In the recent period of misfortune, I owed a large amount of foreign debt? Suspected of extraordinary factors?"

It's a matter of misfortune again and again, it must be affected by extraordinary factors...

But what about the large foreign debts?

Frowning, continue reading.

"Borrowing money around and buying the property rights of most of the land in the Eastern District?"

Lucid leaned back, leaning against the back of the armchair, rubbing his chin suspiciously.

If I remember correctly, except for the part of the land I own, the rest of the land in the East seems to be the property of Newcastle?

Baron Hoy bought the land belonging to Newcastle?

But what does this have to do with his death?

With a puzzled mentality, she continued to turn the page:

"It is preliminarily judged that the cause of death was arson and self-immolation. It is not ruled out that extraordinary factors may affect..."

Lifting his head, the doubt in Lucid's eyes became more intense.

Why did Hoy set himself on fire?

The first thought that came up in my heart was the influence of extraordinary power.

Because apart from being affected by extraordinary factors, Hoy has almost no motive for suicide.

Even if he owes a large amount of foreign debt, he still owns a large area of ​​land in the Eastern District?

In addition, there are titles and wealth passed down by the ancestors...

He shook his head, puzzled.

Seeing "Xilling" with a puzzled expression after reading the dossier, Monaghan laughed and said:

"How about, any thoughts?"

"Forehead……"

Lucid then realized that there was a Monaghan next to him, and immediately replied somewhat cautiously:

"I think that the death of Baron Hoy must be affected by extraordinary factors."

"Oh?"

A look of surprise flashed across the face of the night watcher's captain, and he asked:

"Tell your thoughts and listen to them."

Without thinking, Lucid replied:

"Well... Even if Baron Hoy owes a large amount of foreign debt, the land he owns is enough to repay... At most, a little bit of depletion will be added."

"To sum up, I think Baron Hoy is fully capable of repaying his debts without breaking his muscles."

In response to these remarks~lightnovelpub.net~ Monaghan shook his head and laughed:

"Schilling, you are wrong."

"Now that piece of land in the Eastern District is worthless."

"So, Baron Hoy is completely incapable of repaying his debts."

...

"what????!!!"

The Lucid was stupid.

Why is that large piece of land in the Eastern District worthless?

Doesn't make sense?

If this is the case, does it mean that... your own land is the same, becoming worthless?

Suddenly, Lucid had a feeling of one head and two big heads, and he asked quickly:

"What's the matter with the land in the Eastern District?"
