"Enemy attack! Put out the fire! "
Lear came to his senses, and rushed into the burning bedroom with his heavy sword. He swatted away the fallen wood with his longsword, and rushed into the fire.
After the invisible barrier disappeared, the guards of the general's manor also discovered the abnormality here, and all rushed over with buckets and swords to put out the fire.
Not long after, Lear, whose hair was mostly burnt by the fire, rushed out of the fire with a body in his arms.
All of the guards gathered around him, and used water to put out the flames on Lear's body before turning to look at the general in Lear's arms.
General Bloom, who was originally very muscular, was now only skin and bones. All of his blood essence seemed to have been sucked dry by something, and his expression was extremely horrified as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. His eyes were wide open even in death.
"Argh!"
Lear was in a hurry to save people in the fire, so he didn't notice. Now that he saw Bloom in his arms, he was so shocked that he threw him out.
"This!"
"Great General, what happened to you?!"
All of the guards also hurriedly retreated, and their expressions changed drastically at the sight of Bloom's lifeless body.
Lear quickly calmed down, and he looked at Bloom's corpse with a grave expression as he said, "Put out the fire first, and seal this place. Don't tell anyone about this. I'll go into the palace to report this to His Majesty right away."
"Yes." All of the guards were in a panic, but they hurriedly responded, and began to put out the fire to prevent it from spreading.
During this period of time, the news of the Ministry of War's massacre had already spread throughout Rodu, and they didn't think that they would encounter it today. Thankfully, Sir Lear was here, so they were able to survive.
Lear watched as the guards covered Bloom's corpse with a bedsheet before hurriedly leaving for the palace.
There were water-type magic casters among the guards, and the fire that hadn't spread was quickly brought under control.
"Did you hear anything just now?"
"I think I heard Lord Bloom call out 'Josh' at the end …"
"I heard that too, and I also heard Sir Lear call out 'Josh'."
"Could it be … that Josh was the one who did this?"
The guards discussed in low voices, and their expressions gradually became more and more horrified.
"Silence! This matter is not to be spread, or your heads will be chopped off! "a middle-aged guard yelled coldly.
The guards' faces turned cold, and they didn't dare to say another word.
The fire in General Bloom's residence wasn't a small matter, and the surrounding residents saw it clearly. Thinking of the tragedy that happened in the past few days, they couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Scared to death?" Meg asked Irina as he watched the flames gradually extinguish.
"More or less. He fainted from fright. Then, I used a vampire bat to suck his essence blood dry. It's about the same as the corpse you saw last time." Irina nodded. She then looked at Meg's tattered clothes. "You were injured by him?"
"I did it on purpose. Otherwise, how could I inadvertently let him see my true appearance?" Meg still had to wear Joshua's mask. He smiled as he reached out to take off his mask.
"Now, let's see how Andre plans to deal with this." Irina smiled.
"I'm using Joshua's method to frame him. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that."
…
Bloom's residence was on fire, and the nearby powerhouses quickly gathered. There was no lack of 10th-tier knights and mages among them. When they arrived at the residence, they were all shocked to know that Bloom was dead. When they saw Bloom's corpse, their expressions changed drastically.
Such a tragic death couldn't help but remind them of the demon that had been causing panic recently.
Under the questioning of the few powerhouses, the matter of Bloom crying out for Joshua before his death was also asked.
The 10th-tier knights and great mages looked at each other and saw the fear and horror in each other's eyes. They didn't dare to ask any more questions.
During this period of time, the Ministry of War was extremely turbulent because of the war. There were rumors that His Highness Joshua stole His Majesty's commander's seal and started a war against the orcs and elves on his own.
The more they knew, the more they were in awe and fear.
If Joshua was the one who killed General Bloom, then the massacre of the other ministers of the Ministry of War was probably related to him as well.
Murder and arson, the methods were the same.
If it weren't for Lear's protection today, the general's residence would have been burned to the ground.
Moreover, there were almost no complete corpses left behind in the previous massacres. Today, Lear braved death to carry Bloom's corpse out, but it was so tragic. It was inevitable that people would associate it with the demon.
…
"There's another fire. Could it be that someone committed the crime again?" Louis stood on the roof of a tall building and looked at the burning house in the distance.
"There are fluctuations from a battle between powerhouses. Let's go take a look." Douglas appeared beside him and looked in the direction of the fire with a solemn expression. He took a step and appeared 100 meters away.
"Wait for me." Louis hurriedly followed.
…
The fire at the general's residence made the situation in Rodu very tense.
Meanwhile, the couple who committed the murder and arson brought their two children home to eat hot pot.
"Come, try the duck intestine that I just cooked."
"The beef is ready too. Help yourself."
Meg smiled gently and said in a kind tone, just like a loving father and husband.
Amy's bowl was full of food. She buried her head in it and couldn't stop eating.
Irina chatted with Meg from time to time and helped Anne to the food. She was also relaxed and happy.
"Are you full? Do you want another mutton roll? "Meg asked with a smile as he looked at Amy, who finally finished all the food in her bowl.
"No, Mother said that I have to eat less before going to bed at night. Otherwise, I will become a little fat girl." Amy put down her chopsticks and shook her head obediently.
"Okay, then." Meg nodded with a smile. Amy really knew how to control herself tonight. She only ate the food of three adults.
The two children couldn't sleep after supper, so they played with Ugly Duckling on the first floor. Meg went to the kitchen to continue studying the recipe and cooking method of green bean cake.
He had already mastered the cooking methods of many delicacies, but he didn't have any good desserts. Green bean cake was a good direction for a breakthrough.
Moreover, he was also very curious about the mysterious reward from the system. Could it be the recipe for more desserts?
The two little fellows liked snacks. If he could make more delicious desserts for them, they would definitely like it.
[One serving of green bean cake with uneven sugar content.]
[One serving of green bean cake with a rough texture.]
[One serving of green bean cake that is too sticky.]
…
The remarks given by the system allowed Meg to accurately understand the problem with this green bean cake and make precise adjustments.
"Father, I'm so sleepy. Can I go to sleep now?" Amy rubbed her sleepy eyes and poked her little head out of the door.
[One serving of green bean cake up to standard!]
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission of green bean cake improvement! You have received the title of Elementary Dessert Master! You have also received a dessert gift pack! Please check and accept! "
Almost at the same time, the system's voice sounded in Meg's mind.
