The captain of the rescue team seemed to be a good-tempered man, at least he liked to laugh. He was not tall, but he was very strong and had a big beard that covered his entire chin.

The captain came to Shireen and Costa under the guidance of Tycruz, "These two are the people you are talking about? Avon Insurance Company?"

"Exactly." Shireen put down Riley, stepped forward and stretched out her hand to him. Act professionally, she told herself, just like Lea Clover.

The captain shook hands with her, a smile appeared on his beard, "Are you in charge, miss?"

"The two of us are partners, there is no distinction between master and slave." Shireen looked at Costa and answered. The evaluator made no comment on this.

"Partner? Ha! Then what are you here for? I heard this young man say that you are here to warn us that the light ball is dangerous? Is that true?"

She nodded, "Yes, we suspect that the alchemy lamp ball may have been the cause of the explosion and are looking for evidence. We plan to question the injured in the camp. These people don't seem to be far from the source of the explosion."

The captain looked at the casualty settlement area in the camp and said, "Indeed, some people were rescued from the rubble by us. But most of them were seriously injured, and some were even severely burned. I doubt that a lady like you would be able to see that scene.

"

Shireen crossed her arms, "Believe me, Captain, you may be surprised by this matter."

"Ha, well, I hope you know what you're doing." The captain shrugged.

"While we are questioning the injured, can you please tell the members of the rescue team to be careful of the alchemy lamp balls nearby?" she said, "especially the special containers used to transport the lamp balls. If you see them, be careful.

To deal with it, it is best to inform us as soon as possible."

"Of course there is no problem, but do you know how to deal with it?"

Shireen nodded against her will. She had to pretend to be confident. "Of course, we have received training in this area."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." The captain smiled again, "Excuse me, I have to go back to direct the rescue work. If those boys don't have anyone to kick their butts behind, they might end up killing themselves.

Buried in the rubble."

Shireen watched the captain leave, and waited until he was far away before waving for Costa and Tycruz to come closer to her. "We have to discuss, uh, in a situation like the one just now, it's best to pretend that you know what to do," she said.

.

"What? You don't know what to do?" Tycruz whispered.

"Keep your voice down, kid." Costa glared at him, "Only professional alchemists can handle this kind of thing properly. We only know that trying to light those bomb lamp balls may cause explosions, so we must handle them with care.

"

"Uh, but..."

"Now is not the time for 'but's, do you understand, Tycruz?" Shireen said. "If you tell them there is a danger but don't tell them how to deal with it, it will cause panic. The atmosphere in the camp has changed now."

They are very nervous and these people cannot bear any more bad news."

"What bad news?" Larry asked sharply.

Oh, damn, I almost forgot about her. Shireen turned around and bent down, showing a relieved smile. "Because it's going to be night soon. You might catch a cold if you stay outside after dark."

The half-elf girl sighed like an adult, "My mother said that you must stay at home after dark."

"Yes, your mother is right." Shireen tried hard not to imagine Emma lying dying in the ruins, "So we need to find a new home before dark, preferably a safe place, where we will not return.

The kind that catches fire."

Riley looked at her with wide eyes, then nodded.

"We are going to question the injured," Shireen looked at Costa. "It's best not to let her go with us. I'm afraid she will see the burns..."

"She's coming with you," Costa said. "I'll ask the burnt patient. You go and talk to the doctor first."

Shireen knew who he was talking about. The female doctor was walking back and forth in the settlement area, carrying a huge medical kit in her hand. Her facial lines were sharp and angular, and she no longer looked young, and she was almost the same as Costa.

same height.

She took Riley's hand and walked towards the resettlement area. The injured men and women lay on simple beds, groaning in pain. Some people who were not seriously injured looked at her with curious eyes.

When she looked closer, Shirin realized that the female doctor was at least forty years old. She had a resolute northern face and her mouth was habitually pursed, as if she was dissatisfied with everything around her.

She also noticed them, "You two are not injured, so you didn't come to me for treatment." She said.

Shirin nodded, "I'm here to ask a question."

"Is this girl your daughter?"

"Uh, no."

"No? You look over twenty-five years old." The female doctor looked at her critically, "A woman of this age should have children."

Shireen didn't know what traditions the northerners had. She remembered that Pavel's fiancée was a northern noble. They couldn't leave home until they reached adulthood, but they had to have children before they were twenty-five?

Well, what a charming tradition.

"Can you find a place for her to rest while we talk?" Shireen pointed at Riley.

"Of course, I can find a book for her." The female doctor looked at Riley and nodded.

The half-elf girl raised her head and opened her mouth in surprise. Apparently she had never seen such a tall woman before.

The female doctor brought a few books, almost all of which were illustrated, and gave them to Riley, "Do you want to help me look at the medicine box while you read?" Her voice was unexpectedly gentle.

"Okay." Riley nodded.

She carried Riley onto the medical kit and let the girl sit on it and read a book. Then the female doctor tilted her head towards Shireen, and they walked away a little further.

"I noticed it when you three just arrived." The female doctor said, "You don't look like someone from the rescue team, at least you don't. You are too thin and you will definitely not be able to move rocks and wood."

Shireen sighed, "I'm from Avon Insurance Company."

"Magical Disaster Insurance Company? Don't you show up after the disaster is over?"

"We're going to expand our business. Well, anyway, I totally understand why you don't like us... but this time we're really here to help."

"Then you should send a few more men like that," the female doctor pointed to Costa, who was questioning the burned victim. "He looks like he will be very useful."

"The company's evaluators have just finished handling the aftermath of the port area, and most of them are on vacation now." Shirin replied.

"Okay, so the only one we can get is you." The female doctor raised her eyebrows, "What do you want to know?"

Shirin looked around and lowered her voice, "We suspect that the explosion was caused by the alchemy lamp ball. Someone replaced the lamp ball with a bomb, and then mixed it with the new lamp ball and sent it to the slums. When you were just treating the injured,

Did you hear anything?"

The female doctor nodded thoughtfully, "When you put it like that, I remember at least two people mentioned the light ball... I thought they mistook the light from the explosion."

"Really? Are you sure?"

"It's best to ask them directly." the female doctor suggested.

The first injured person was not burned, but he seemed to have hit his head. Shireen asked him a few questions, but he just looked at her blankly.

"Have we met?" he asked.

"What?" Shirin was stunned for a moment.

"I remember your name was Maria, right? In a store on Rose Street, you sang very beautifully, and you also liked eating cherries." The man showed the kind of silly smile that is unique to people who are trapped in rosy memories.

"Concussion, good and bad." The female doctor shrugged, "Ignore him, I can't get any answers from him now."

The second man was badly burned, and Shireen realized that neither Costa nor Tycruz was around. Where were they?

"Light ball," the burned woman hissed, "Light ball...ahhh...Dr. Corey, I need that analgesic..."

The female doctor took out a water bag from her pocket, pulled out the stopper, and gave the burned woman a sip. The smell of the analgesic was very pungent, and Shirin couldn't help but frown when she smelled it.

She quickly stabilized, "The light ball...yes, the light ball in the living room exploded. My husband felt it was a little dark and he wanted to read a book...Oh, gods...Clancy..." She made something like

The sound of crying.

"Are you sure, madam?" Shireen didn't want to force her to recall, but she had to know the answer. "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"I didn't... I was in the bedroom, sorting out clothes... We just bought some new light bulbs in the morning, and they were still in the packaging... Why did the light bulbs explode? How is this possible? Ahhhhhhhh

Ah...Dr. Corey!"

The female doctor held her head and fed her more painkillers.

Shireen couldn't bear to see her suffer anymore, so she looked away.

"She fainted," the doctor said. "Have you got a satisfactory answer?"

Shireen felt her hands trembling, and she took a few deep breaths. "It's not sure yet. She was so seriously injured, and her memory may be confused. And she didn't see it with her own eyes."

"Indeed, so?"

"Keep asking." Shireen looked at Lai Rui subconsciously. The half-elf girl was still sitting on the medicine box, looking at the book in her hand intently.

"Those two are your companions, right?" Doctor Corey suddenly pointed behind her.

Shireen turned around and saw Costa and Tecrus walking towards them.

"Costa? Where did you go just now?"

The evaluator's face seemed gloomier than before, "We went to conduct reconnaissance near the camp."

"Did you find anything?" Shireen asked.

She had a bad premonition, because Tycruz also looked worried. Shireen had never seen him show such an expression.

He looked at the female doctor next to her hesitantly, as if he was not sure whether he should say it in front of her.
