Chapter 521 As long as no one sees it, it wasn’t us who did it
"Fire! Fire!"
The atmosphere in the restaurant was good, but suddenly someone shouted outside the door.
Everyone ran out of the restaurant and saw a fire in the east sky. The fire seemed to be not far away from here.
Almost everyone in Big Horn Village knew where it was: "It's in the direction of Cocowit!"
The villagers fell silent. After a moment, someone said, "It's okay. Let's all go home."
"Yeah, go home."
"It'll be fine."
The villagers could almost guess what had happened, but there was nothing they could do. It was a good thing that the disaster did not befall them, so they just went home and hid.
A young man who had just come out of the restaurant clenched his fists: "I think..."
"No, you don't want to." The older man dragged the impulsive young man back home.
"Guest, it's just a simple fire. It's okay. You guys...eh?" The restaurant owner was about to let Jackie Chan and the children go in to sit down, but found that a few people were missing.
"Ahaha, it's okay. The kids are bored staying in the house and want to go outside and play in the snow."
Jackie Chan laughed and saw Xia Lulu flying away with Wendy. He also saw Perona floating up and following them. Although the villagers' reactions were strange, if they were just there to help put out the fire, nothing should happen.
"Really..." The restaurant owner was a little doubtful and returned to the restaurant with Jackie Chan, the remaining two little girls and a running duck.
…
"Xia Lulu, you are flying too fast, wait for me!" Although Perona can float, her speed is obviously not as fast as Xia Lulu's flying speed.
"But we're in a hurry to put out the fire!" Xia Lulu said, "Zhang Da didn't ask you to learn the Moon Step well. Using it while floating will definitely help you speed up."
"But Moon Step is really hard to practice~"
"We can actually pull Perona along to fly," Wendy said. "She can already float, so it shouldn't be difficult to pull her along."
"It seems so." Xia Lulu thought it made sense, so she slowed down a little and let Wendy hold Perona's hand.
"Really! Hehehe~ This makes it much easier!" Perona said happily.
Xia Lulu tried to speed up, and after a few seconds she said helplessly, "Please put away your umbrella."
"Oh, I forgot!"
It didn't take long before the three of them flew over the town of Kokowit and saw the burning house.
"It's so strange, why is no one putting out the fire?" Perona looked down. There were people watching near the burning house, but no one was in a hurry to put out the fire.
Two teams of soldiers were standing in neat rows on the street. There were two men in front who looked like leaders, and one was riding an animal that looked like a hippopotamus, with his hands on his hips and laughing.
On the other side, a family of three was protected by a tall man and seemed to be crying.
Wendy recognized the man protecting the civilians. "That looks like Mr. Doruton."
Xia Lulu looked at the man laughing wildly on the hippopotamus and the guards behind him and guessed, "Could that be the king?"
As they stared in astonishment, Wapol opened his mouth, and his upper and lower jaws simultaneously stretched and enlarged unscientifically, biting off half of the burning house in one bite.
"Ah~ Swallowed... swallowed it! He ate the house!" Perona watched in horror as Wapol chewed the remains of the house, and she was so scared that she almost fell down.
A drop of sweat dripped down Xia Lulu's forehead. She asked in surprise, "Why would you do this? You can't use this method to put out a fire, right?"
"Hahahahaha...it turns out that the baked house tastes the best!" The more desperate the family who lost their house was, the happier Wapol ate. "It's not enough! Another one, the biggest one!"
"Yes, Your Majesty Wapol." The officer waved his hand, and several soldiers holding torches walked towards the largest house in the town.
"That's enough, Lord Wapol!" Doluton stepped forward to stop the soldiers. "You've already taken one house. Please leave the others alone for now!"
Wapol leered at him. "Hmm? Are you saying that I should starve? For a mere house, you're going to let me, the king of this country, the great Wapol, starve? Hmm?"
"This..." Doruton lowered his head, shadows covering his eyes, and a low voice sounded, "I don't mean to offend you. I mean, there are many things to eat, why do you have to..."
"Of course it's because I want to eat!" Wapol interrupted him directly, "What are you guys waiting for?"
"Yes, yes!" Several soldiers shuddered and continued to move forward with torches in hand.
A soldier passed by Doruton and whispered, "I'm sorry, Captain Doruton, we...can't disobey the king's order."
The torches were thrown down, and flames started to burn from the four corners of the house. The three people in the sky were stunned. It turned out that the king ordered the soldiers to set fire!
Perona was puzzled and asked, "Why would he do this? Weiwei would be very angry if she saw this."
Wendy's face was tense. "That's too much! I'm already angry! Xia Lulu, let's go put out the fire!"
Xia Lulu didn't act immediately: "Wait a minute, Wendy, don't forget that Misaka still needs to find a doctor in this country. If we confront the king directly, it will cause trouble for everyone!"
"But……"
"It's okay. No one will ignore this kind of thing if they see it." Perona said, "But we can do it in that guy's style."
Wendy quickly asked, "What style?"
"As long as no one saw it, it wasn't us!" Perona showed a sly smile on her face. "If the black-hearted boss was here, he might knock everyone out and then put out the fire and save people. Hmm... maybe there are more insidious methods that I can't think of."
Xia Lulu thought about it carefully: "It seems...it's really possible."
"Don't make Tatsuya-nii-san sound so... cunning, okay?" Kind-hearted Wendy hesitated for a moment before choosing the less derogatory adjective 'cunning'.
Perona said, "In short, we just need to stay out of the spotlight so that no one can blame us."
"Then let's go over there." Xia Lulu led the two of them around to the back of the soldiers. "It's up to you, Wendy."
"Hmm!" Wendy opened her arms, her magic power gathering in them, "Tianlong's...Namikaze!"
With a wave of his arms, a strong hurricane suddenly appeared from the back of the soldiers' column and quickly advanced towards Wapol's position.
“Wa ...
"Dragon, dragon, dragon...tornado!"
"Help!"
The soldiers screamed as they were swept up by the hurricane and flew up in a spin along with the snow.
"It's so noisy! What is this?" When Wapol turned around, he was hit in the face by his staff officer and in the stomach by the clerk. Then he and everyone else were spinning in the tornado.
"What the hell is going on!" Valpo screamed as he and the soldiers were swept away by the tornado and flew farther and farther away.
Doruton transformed into a bison and was about to break the door to save people when he turned around and saw the king being taken away by a tornado. Confusion was written all over the bison's face: "Is this... a punishment from God?"
"All right, nice, Wendy!" Perona, who loves to watch the fun, said, "A little more wind, a little stronger. If he doesn't fly far enough, he'll be right back!"
Wendy was an honest child. When she heard what Perona said, she immediately increased her magic output.
The tornado's speed increased again, and the people inside could no longer even shout, because as soon as they opened their mouths, their cheeks would be blown away.
