"Who did it again?"
"Alchemical explosives were also used!"
The black powder technology of the Old World is only at the level of World War I on Earth. Since this is a supernatural world, the technology is somewhat biased. Alchemical explosives have directly pushed the power of explosives to a higher level, and have reached the level of high explosives in World War II.
The magic-destroying armor-piercing bomb in Charlotte's hand is a masterpiece of alchemical explosives.
If alchemical explosives are used to directly make explosives, the power will be quite amazing.
Charlotte sighed. Besides secretly feeling lucky that the explosion did not occur in her jurisdiction, she also observed a moment of silence for those who suffered and died.
He rushed down from the roof and said to his men, "Dubin, pick ten swordsmen who are good at swordsmanship to go with me, and the rest of you will guard the area."
Doberman agreed excitedly and followed Charlotte with ten people.
Charlotte didn't let everyone go because he was worried that the assassins who carried out the bombing would rush into his jurisdiction. If someone escaped from the Lucavaro district, he would be blamed.
When Charlotte and her men rushed out of the jurisdiction, they saw that half of the street had been blown up and it was pitch black everywhere. The streets were littered with dead bodies with broken limbs and incomplete limbs.
Although Charlotte felt sorry for the situation, he passed by quickly without staying behind. However, he also noticed a detail. Not only were there rapiers on the ground, but there were also several broken canes. A thought quietly came to his mind: "Why doesn't the assassin use a gun?"
Soon Charlotte saw the coffin that had been completely blown open, and the bodies of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife rolled out. Their gorgeous clothes were covered with black ash, and the bodies of the couple looked as if they had been smoked by kerosene, no longer having their usual grace and nobility.
Not far ahead, there was a crystal white ball of light. Twelve priests formed a brilliant magic circle to protect Franz Joseph, the new Duke of Behemoth.
Although Charlotte was not a student of Royal Hogwich University, she had heard of this magic circle passed down by the Lord of Light.
The Glorious Magic Array is named after its Glory and is known as the best defensive magic array on the continent, with the reputation of being the Hymn of the Gods.
It is said that a high priest of the Lord of Light once used this formation to resist the full force of the evil god and guarded the light unmoved.
Of course, the Principality of Behemoth did not have priests of this level, and Duke Franz Joseph was not qualified to call on the glorious priests to serve as his bodyguards. These twelve glorious priests were the personal guards of the Imperial Emperor Julius VI and had an extremely high status.
Royal Hogwich University has the prefix "Royal" because the Lord of Light recognizes the authority of the Legitimacy Empire and allows his believers to protect His Majesty the Emperor of the Legitimacy Empire.
In addition to the empire of Byron, which was founded by vampires, several emperors of major empires in the Old World also had glorious priests around them.
However, the glorious priests of other countries are not graduates of the Royal Hogwich University of the Fars Empire.
Charlotte did not dare to get close, fearing that these glorious priests would mistake him for an assassin and purify him at will. He performed an imperial salute from a distance.
Charlotte asked her subordinates to take off their shirts and spread them on the ground, and then "carried" Archduke Ferdinand and his wife onto the clothes first.
This kind of thing, of course, doesn't help, but it can earn you credit.
The patrolmen's coats were scattered all over the ground, and Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were lying there. Any officer who came over would ask, "Who did this?"
Charlotte began to see through it. Apart from Duke Franz Joseph and the twelve glorious priests, there was no one alive at the scene. He didn't know whether the assassin had escaped or died together with the bodies of Ferdinand and his wife, but there was no need to chase him.
After a long while, the twelve glorious priests finally lifted the glorious magic circle. One of the young priests walked up to Archduke Ferdinand and his wife and made a complicated hand gesture. Immediately, magical waves swept past, making the bodies of Ferdinand and his wife clean again.
He said to Charlotte, "Are you the commander-in-chief of the patrol troops in Lucavaro District?"
Charlotte nodded, trying to pretend to be sad and angry, and said: "We just handed over the mission, and then we saw the... accident here!" "So I led the team over to see if there is anything we can do!"
The young glorious priest said calmly, "I will remember your name and describe your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor."
"But please leave now."
Charlotte nodded without hesitation, then immediately turned around and left with her men.
Dupin couldn't help asking, "We just come over here to take a look and lay out a few tops for the Grand Duke and his wife? Shouldn't we do something?"
After returning to the Lucavaro District, Charlotte said calmly: "If you want your whole family to disappear, you can go back..."
Dubin was speechless and whispered, "Not really, right?"
Charlotte raised her eyebrows and said, "You can take a gamble!"
"If you win, you satisfy your curiosity and the turmoil in your heart; if you lose, you lose everything."
Doberman didn't know what the Earth slang "冚家勺" meant, but from Charlotte's attitude, he could tell that it was not a good thing.
He was still somewhat unconvinced in his heart, but this young 47th-rank third-level sergeant was just young and hot-tempered, not young and stupid, and of course he knew that Charlotte's approach was right.
After a long while, Doberman whispered, "Sir! Are you really not curious at all?"
Charlotte smiled and said, "Curious!"
"But I'll only take a look out of curiosity for free."
"Tickets are too expensive for the curious, so let those with large families go and enjoy it."
Dubin looked at the smile on Charlotte's face, and somehow his heart felt cold. What frightened him was not Charlotte, but the entire empire...
As a veteran of the city patrol army, he certainly knew that there were some things that he shouldn't be too curious about, because there were many colleagues who died of curiosity than those who died in the line of duty.
Charlotte led the team back to No. 1 Falcon Street, waited for the convoy for several hours, and carried out the escort mission. Everyone was already hungry and tired, so he immediately announced that everyone would be treated to a good meal.
Doberman personally led the group out and bought a cartload of food and twenty pails of ale, not saving Charlotte any money.
After her patrol troops had eaten and drunk their fill and were in high spirits, Charlotte was about to announce the disbandment of the team when a carriage drove into the patrol troops' office.
Mason led a few people to stop the other party. He had now completed the transformation from an adventurer to a patrol officer. He asked diligently, "This is the Lucavalo District Patrol Army Office. If you have nothing else to do, please leave immediately."
The driver was a sturdy woman, neatly dressed and skilled in driving. She said arrogantly, "My wife is the chief patrol officer of the Lucavaro District Patrol Army. Please ask Mr. Mecklen to come over."
Amazon was surprised and ran to find Charlotte.
Charlotte was also a little surprised to hear that her "partner" was coming. She followed Mason to the carriage, gave an imperial salute, and asked, "Is it Madam Mavis?"
