章 141: The Cave at the Bottom of the Lake

The fire in the village caused quite a commotion in this area.

At first, the source was from the toppled oil lamp in Dick’s room. At that time, the servants were gathered at the storage room and were drinking in secret, so they could not provide aid in time. By the time they made it there, the flames had already swallowed the room door. Someone panicked, mistook a barrel of malt beer for water, and used it to put out the flames. The results could be as imagined.

After two hours of frantic firefighting, the fire finally swallowed the whole of Fulner family’s house. The light from the flames shone so brightly over the whole village that it seemed almost like day. The fire only gradually subsided after midnight.

After the incident, the Imperial Capital sent people over to investigate.
