Along the way, Solandelle saw too many pathos, and the more she saw them, the deeper the sense of powerlessness in her heart, both sad about the misery of the slaves and sad about not knowing what she could do.

Before coming to Danyu City, she vowed to find the best of both worlds, and even took the trouble to ask Chino to give her 24 hours.

But when she really arrived in Danyu City, she was at a loss and at a loss.

She was in the palace before, and the sources were other people's oral or written reports about how Danyu City was and how many people had died during this time.

She thought she was ready to face the tragedy, but now that she thinks about it, how can the tragedy in the world be described in a few documents and a few words?

Without being on the ground, you never know how heavy every word of the report is.

The report will only understate a number and tell you how many people have died in total.

But only after coming to the scene and witnessing it with your own eyes will you realize that it is not "how many people died in total", but "one person died", how many times in total.

Now think about it, what can she do in the face of such a huge tragedy...

Brother Andre is tired, Brother Bolton has made a big mistake, and his father is also worried about Danyucheng, she is a student who has only studied for a few years and has not graduated from the academy, and wants to turn the tide here?

Impossible, right...

At the thought of this, Solandale felt a sour nose and felt guilty for her incompetence.

Just as she was sitting on the side of the road secretly wiping her tears, she suddenly felt someone next to her.

Solandale looked up and saw an unkempt beggar standing in front of him, his eyes full of lust, like a hungry wolf seeing a white rabbit.

Because of the famine, the security of Danyu City has been chaotic, coupled with the fact that the nobles have withdrawn from the city one after another, and a large number of people are needed to protect their safety.

A little girl like Solandale walks alone on the street like a moving piece of fat, and it's no wonder that she isn't targeted by people with bad intentions.

Solandale realized that it was not good, and hurriedly turned around and left.

However, before she could take a few steps, another beggar came out of the alley ahead, forming a front and back formation with the previous person, blocking her in the middle, and there was nowhere to escape.

Solandelle is panicking now, not that she is worried that she will be violated, she wears the red rope "thread" given by Chino, this kind of extraterrestrial armor can protect her safety very well, not to mention two beggars, even two transcendents can't hurt her.

What she is most afraid of now is the exposure of her identity!

Solandale knows that different identities bring different things to see.

If she enters the city as a royal princess, the officials of Danyu City will definitely send people to watch 24 hours a day, follow wherever they go, greet them all openly and secretly, expose all the good places, cover all the bad places, and only let her see what they want to see.

If the two beggars attack her now, and the extraterrestrial armor takes effect, anyone will know that her identity is not ordinary, and when the rumor reaches the ears of the officials of Danyu City, she will probably not be able to hide.

Solandale was blocked in front and back, pacing anxiously in the middle, saying in a pleading tone, "You... Don't do that... Let me go out on a line? ”

"Okay." The beggar had a look on his face full of lust, exchanged glances with his companion, and finally laughed cruelly, "Let the two of you have a good time!" ”

Solandale shrank into a corner, unable to retreat, but to watch as two beggars approached.

However, before the beggar could pounce on Solandale, he suddenly received a blow to the back of the head.

"Bang."

The blow is not heavy, but it also makes people's heads buzz.

I saw a short man holding a firewood stick, grabbing two beggars and beating them violently, scolding while beating: "God-damned cubs! Robbing while the fire is on, it's because of you bastards that this place is in chaos! Get lost!!! ”

The two beggars were thieves, and they didn't dare to fight back when they were beaten, so they ran around with their heads in embarrassment, and put a few cruel words such as "you wait for me", and then fled.

Someone reached out to help solve the siege, and the identity was not revealed, Solandale suddenly breathed a big sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you for helping!" ”

"Thank you what?!" The visitor seemed to have a bad temper and didn't appreciate it at all, pointing at Solandale and scolding him, "It's so messy outside, you little kid can't stay at home well, you have to run out and cause trouble for others!" It's good that I happened to be passing by today, otherwise, how sad would your parents be if you were ruined by those two people? Have you thought about it yourself?! ”

Solandale was scolded so badly that she could only apologize again and again.

The visitor didn't want to scold a child too harshly, so he snorted coldly and asked silently, "Where is your home?" I'll send you back. ”

"No, no, my house is over there, I'll just go back by myself, thank you." Solandale pretended to point ahead and tiptoed away.

As he passed by, Solandale subconsciously glanced sideways at him... Good guy, big nose and small eyes, fat lips, pockmarked scars on his face, ugly enough to make people a little scared.

But don't really say it, people can't be good-looking, the person in front of him has an ugly face, but he has a heart that has the courage to help others.

Solandale withdrew her gaze and was about to leave, but suddenly something occurred to her, and she stopped and leaned in front of the visitor to take a closer look, her eyes widening wider and wider.

The comer was stared at inexplicably: "What do you see?" ”

Solandale unconsciously covered her lips and asked blankly, "You... Are you called pockmarks? The grain officer of Danyu City promoted by Lord Lan Xian? ”

"I'm pockmarks, what's wrong?" Ma Ban was stunned for a moment when he said this, and looked Solandelle up and down, his face full of doubts, "You little girl, why do you know that I was promoted by Lord Lan Xian?" ”

Solandale didn't bother to say anything, her eyes were wide open, and she hurriedly covered her mouth.

Seeing this, Ma Ban was even more puzzled, and asked, "Who are you?" Your parents were aristocrats? I don't think you look like this dress. ”

Although she shouldn't reveal her identity, but it's come to this, running around like this can only be a waste of time, and now she needs to find a breakthrough, plus Ma Ban's previous rescue left a great impression on Solandelle's heart, so she won't hide it anymore.

Solandale bowed to Mabana and said politely, "Mr. Maban, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am the ninth princess of the royal family, Solandel van Doguland." ”

Ma Ban was stunned for a moment, but it was obvious that he couldn't connect the unkempt child in front of him with the noble royal princess, so he directly scolded: "Nonsense! Pretending to be a royal family is a felony, and you dare to say this kind of nonsense?! Do you want to die?! ”

Solandale smiled slightly: "I can't prove my identity now, believe it or not, please judge for yourself." ”

This kind of indifferent look, gentle and elegant conversation, and that kind of natural temperament made Ma Ban couldn't help but be stunned.

Moreover, Solandale revealed his identity and origin in one sentence before - his promotion was promoted by Lan Xian, which was subordinate to internal information, and ordinary civilians could not know about it at all.

All kinds of abnormalities made the doubts in Ma Ban's heart dissipate layer by layer, and he couldn't help muttering, "You... Are you really Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

Solandale nodded.

Ma Ban looked at her distractedly, this sackcloth dress was stained with dirt, her arms and face were splashed with the mud from the wheels of the carriage running over the stagnant water, and the long white and golden hair wet by the rain was stained together, how depressed and depressed, how could there be the image of a royal princess...

Ma Ban asked sluggishly, "You... Why did you make yourself like this? ”

Solandale touched the back of her head and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm not here to play in Danyu City, I'm here to solve problems." If you want to solve a problem, you need to know what the problem is. ”

"Only by making myself like this can I hide my eyes and ears and quietly integrate into Danyu City. Only in this way can I know what kind of suffering and sins you are suffering, and finally find a way to help you. ”

Every word, every word, of Solandelle made Ma Ban deafening.

The pampered princess of the royal family, in order to solve problems for the people, did not hesitate to pollute herself... Ma Ban's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, his lips trembled, he knelt on the ground unconsciously, and said in a trembling voice: "With a princess like you, Your Royal Highness, Danyu City has been saved..."

Solandale helped Ma Ban to his feet and said with some frustration, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." The commander-in-chief of this operation was not me, but my good friend, the Archon of Twilight, Chino Van Helsing, who promised me 24 hours to move freely, but only 24 hours..."

"Twenty-four hours later, the Death Legion under the command of Chino will take full military control over Danyu City, set fire to the fields in the Danyu Plain, plant blood essence grass, and kill those who block it."

Ma Ban's whole body trembled after hearing this, and he said anxiously: "24 hours... What is this time for?! Now more than 6 million people in Danyu City are waiting for the wheat in the field to save their lives, and he can't do this! Your Royal Highness, you must persuade him! ”

Solandale shook her head silently, her voice sad, but resolute: "I don't want anyone else to see that happen." But everyone has their own difficulties, and Archon Chino has come this time by order of the king, and there is no way out, and I will never rely on personal connections to hinder his business. ”

Seeing that Ma Ban was anxious, Solandale added: "Of course, the 24-hour deadline has not yet arrived, and there is hope. You are the grain official of Danyu City, I need to know the ins and outs of the granary fire on the night of the Dragon Fire Festival, and you have to tell me every detail. ”

Ma Ban lowered his head, and his voice was weak: "I don't know..."

"Don't know?" Solandale raised her eyebrows, and her tone became stern, "You are a grain officer, you should be on duty in the granary on the night of the Dragon Fire Festival, where did the fire rise, where did it burn first, where was it implicated, and how did your subordinates put it out... You don't know any of this?! ”

Ma Ban said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, you may not know that before the Dragon Fire Festival, I was suspended by Archon Gome. ”

Solandale was puzzled: "Reason? ”

Ma Ban's tone was very unwilling: "He said that he found a better candidate than me." ”

"And then?" Solandelle was stunned for a moment, "Gone?" ”

"It's gone." Madara shook his head.

Solandelle was: "Isn't this nonsense?!" You are an official promoted by Lord Lan Xian, and you have not made any mistakes, just for such a reason, he dares to take your position?! ”

The muscles on Ma Ban's face twitched, and his smile was a little gloomy: "Gomai is the consul of Danyu City, and he secretly colluded with the supervisor Lin Gengsen, and the two of them cover the sky with one hand, what else do they dare not do?" ”

Solandale shook her head angrily: "Who is the new grain officer?" Can you sneak me to him? ”

Ma Ban clenched his fists and said, "The new grain officer is called Kai Rui, and he was beheaded the day after the granary caught fire. ”

Solandale closed his eyes unwillingly, the dead man couldn't speak, and the clue was broken again.

After a long silence, she reopened her eyes: "What information do you want to give me feedback?" Any intelligence will do. ”

As soon as these words came out, the sky-burning fire resurfaced in Maban's mind, and he muttered, "Fire..."

Solandale: "Fire? ”

"I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen that kind of fire..."Ma Bian's eyes were erratic, and his voice trembled unconsciously, "After the granary caught fire, the fire was unimaginably big, and I knew that conventional means could not be extinguished, so I set off to the reservoir to discharge the flood, and flooded Beicheng with the water of the Qingjiang River, and also flooded the granary..."

When he heard that Ma Ban did not hesitate to open the floodgates in order to put out the fire, Solandale was stunned.

What shocked her even more was the words behind Ma Bian: "But... The fire in the granary could not be extinguished, even the water of the Qingjiang River could not extinguish the fire in the slightest. ”

"It can't be!" Solandale exclaimed, "The water has flooded the granary, and the fire can't be extinguished?" How can there be such a reason?! ”

Mamada said heavily, "Every word I say is true!" Those fires can't be extinguished! They are like flames cursed by the gods, completely ignoring firebreaks, even the stone walls can be burned through, let alone splashing water on them, they can even burn directly under the water! ”

Suddenly, Solandale felt like she had been hit with a hammer, and her whole heart sank.

Water extinguishes fires, this is the law of nature, irrefutable - but it has a premise, that is, "nature".

Burning materials in the natural environment can be extinguished by water.

But there are exceptions, and that is the product of alchemy.

"Alchemy" is a man-led mystical technology, and many of the phenomena in it are unconventional and unnatural.

This kind of fire flame that cannot be extinguished by water, and can even burn underwater, Solandale thought about what she had learned, and finally matched four words, and she unconsciously said it: "Desert fire..."

"Desert fire?" Ma Ban is an expert in the field of agriculture, and he does not know much about the military field, and he has never heard of this ultimate killer weapon from the desert.

Solandale hurriedly asked, "On the night of the Dragon Fire Festival, did the granary suddenly burn out?" A little spark falls, and immediately the fire is monstrous? And those flames, which can't be extinguished by water, can burn underwater, and some of the fires still float on the water, winding like snakes, and anything can be ignited at a moment? ”

Mamada recalled for a moment, and found that it was exactly the same as Solandale, and hurriedly nodded in response.

Solandale's pupils were completely dilated...

If this is the case, the granary is not an ordinary fire ...

On the night of the Dragon Fire Festival, the granary was probably full of desert fires, which was why the surging and strange fire occurred.

However, Danyu City is an inland city, and the power of the horse bandits cannot be touched here, so it is unlikely that it will be invaded by foreign enemies.

And the desert fire is a military controlled product, and ordinary people can't get it at all.

Could it be that the fire... The officials of Danyu City put it themselves?!

But... They burned millions of tons of relief grain with desert fires, what good did they do themselves? It's completely beneficial and harmless!

Or do the benefits do exist, but you don't see them yourself?
