When Louis and Olivia arrived at the scene, they saw densely packed heads surrounding the granary.

The royal guards and city guards who rushed over after hearing the news were attracted and surrounded the place in three layers.

After noticing Olivia's arrival, a group of people made way for her.

The head maid suddenly appeared beside Olivia and whispered:

"Your Highness, there is still some warmth at the scene."

The little swan smiled and said:

"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 turned to Louis.

"Louis, Louis, this granary explosion is not easy to deal with."

"This explosion has been an unsolved case. In my previous life, I wanted to give it to you to investigate, but you ended up leaving it to the City Lord's Mansion to handle."

"You are here at the scene now, there is no reason to run away!"

The little swan almost let out a happy goose cry.

But perhaps considering that this was too undignified, she coughed and smiled kindly:

"Louis, this matter..."

Louis suddenly realized and spoke first: "I understand. Her Highness Olivia wants to handle it herself."

"But please pay attention to the remaining fire at the scene."

Olivia, who was about to yell “goose, goose, goose”, suddenly froze.

Seeing the little swan running here excitedly with a look of "I'm very curious", Louis simply went with the flow and left it to her.

"Anyway, this matter won't endanger the safety of my wife, so Little Swan can handle it if she wants."

Lumi, who was standing by, smiled with relief.

"Your Highness has grown up and has begun to take the initiative to help Beatrice-sama share her worries."

happy.

Little Swan's "subjective initiative" has been too strong recently, even Lumi misunderstood it.

Not to mention the royal guards.

Little Swan and Prince Louis came up with many clever ideas and nipped the disaster of the living dead in the bud.

This is something that all the brothers in the group know.

The two wise men of the empire are now at the scene, and perhaps they can give some ideas to the confused on-site investigators.

For a moment, Louis and others looked at the little swan with expectation.

The little swan felt his scalp tingling and he subconsciously straightened his chest.

The little swan is like a perch in the water.

If you are a fisherman who claims to be an experienced fisherman, no matter how many times he sets the bait, the result is often empty-handed.

But for a newbie, the black carp may 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 is my body betraying my will?"

The little swan cried out in his heart.

But the words had already been said, and after mumbling for a long time, there was no way to 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 strong soldier standing inside investigating.

——It’s William.

But why does it feel different from the previous William? At this time, William was squatting on the ground checking the traces.

Louis soon discovered that William's power was stronger than before.

His intuition told him that William might have been promoted in his career or had made some breakthrough.

Louis was also filled with emotion for a moment.

There are truly countless heroes in this world.

I thought that Rimuru had digested the power of the Sapphire Dragon and promoted his career level.

Now at level 4, he can already learn the Nine Swords level 2 martial arts.

Before I had time to be happy, I suddenly found that people around me were promoted one after another.

Alice was promoted to LV10.

The little swan suddenly felt threatened.

William has undergone an unknown change.

Even Rimuru, without merging into the giant slime, was promoted from a LV1 slime to a LV4 heterochromatic slime.

Sure enough, I wasn’t the only one cheating.

Noticing the arrival of Louis and Olivia, William said, "Good day, Your Highness Louis, Your Highness Olivia. I'm sorry that the explosion attracted you here."

William knew that Louis was learning "crafts" with Captain Kino today, but he didn't expect that the second princess would also be with Louis.

Little Swan's alarm bells rang loudly, and he immediately asked:

"You were promoted to Iron Guard?"

——The meaning is naturally to ask William whether he really retrieved the shield and became a qualified Iron Warrior.

William nodded with a smile.

Olivia asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

But she actually already had the answer in her heart.

Eliminate her first.

Secondly, Sister Wang has already selected another female official.

Then... isn't that only Louis is left?

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"

"In his previous life, William did not choose his own [Master] until he was executed on the guillotine."

"Why did you choose the Kingdom of Delusion in this life?"

Although he had guessed the result, the little swan still looked at William with expectation.

It was as if I wanted to hear him give an unexpected answer.

William, as expected, misunderstood.

"Of course, His Royal Highness Louis."

The little swan's legs went limp.

Louis, who was standing by, helped her up without knowing why.

"Olivia, hold on tight."

Louis reminded.

"Who do you think made me like this?"

The little swan's face was full of resentment, and then he looked towards the granary.

"Any clues about the granary?"

"There is a possibility of arson, but there was also an explosion at the scene. We have sent people to other granaries to check the situation."

This granary outside the imperial palace is one of several large granaries built into the royal household.

It is different from the densely packed classical palace complexes in China.

The palace of the Unther Empire is more like a huge castle.

——Or the kind that has its own defensive counterattack capabilities.

In order to ensure that the counterattack could be fought based on the palace, a number of resource warehouses were naturally set up inside.

This granary is one of the 10 reserve granary buildings.

Louis took a look and saw only a burnt circular warehouse.

Olivia was in a very depressed mood and went straight up to him.

The ground was littered with broken pieces of buildings.

It was as if someone had bombed this place with dwarven artillery.

Louis also realized that the royal guards suspected that someone wanted to touch the royal grain reserves, so they sent people directly to other warehouses to inquire about the situation.

Olivia walked into the granary where the fire had been put out and took a quick look.

The previous life was concluded as "an unknown person tried to invade the palace".

Olivia was planning to do the same.

But before he could speak, Louis looked at the bag that had been burned to charcoal and said:

"The food reserves here are flour?"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him.

Someone replied: "Yes, Your Highness, there were guards passing by the storeroom to check. Not long after they opened the door and went in, it suddenly exploded."

"Fortunately, the person is fine and has been sent to the church for treatment."

Louis then asked, "Did anyone see the scene?"

A royal guard nodded and said, "I was at the scene at the time, but I didn't see any signs of outsiders' activities."

"Maybe someone placed a delayed-action explosive device in the warehouse."

Louis thought for a moment, then said, "Can you get me a dry barrel?"

Little Swan was puzzled: "Why did you bring the wine barrel?"

"Just let someone take it. I think I have an idea."
