Chapter 60: Arrest

The second crossbow arrow was fired again, targeting the box from the beginning. With a "duo" sound, the crossbow arrow rubbed Aiwen's body and was nailed to the wooden box, vaguely coinciding with the position of the first arrow.

Ivan, who had already predicted the trajectory of the crossbow arrow, didn't even hide.

I just don’t know if he can be so calm if he learns that his true identity has been discovered by "Zorro"

Now Ivan didn't think so much. He stared at the second crossbow arrow and made a guess in his mind: "One arrow can be said to be a coincidence. Two crossbow arrows shot at the same position must have problems! The one in the dark

People are not necessarily enemies."

Give the order without hesitation:

"Open this box!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of wolf-like naval soldiers led by Gary had already pushed away the lion-headed Barry group who tried to stop them, and pried open the box in three attempts.

Among the dense and soft hay, there are fireworks bombs larger than fists. Perhaps in order to enhance the festive atmosphere, the fireworks bombs are also carefully pasted with colored paper, which looks like they are made with great care.

"Bang!"

Wow

An entire box was kicked over, and dozens of firework bombs rolled to the floor.

Ivan's eyes glanced around the people present. Not to mention his own men, most of the first mate responsible for directing the unloading of the merchant ship, the crew and the personnel responsible for loading the wheelbarrow did not know what was going on. They looked like they did not know what was going on.

What kind of problem is there?

Only the curly-haired man with lion head and the attendant beside him were excited, with a hint of eagerness hidden in them.

"What's going on, Captain? These are just fireworks and nothing else!" Lionhead wanted to step forward to explain but was stopped by Gary. He could only keep explaining that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his goods, and he was so anxious that he almost burst into tears.

Flow down.

Three parts anxious, five parts innocent and two parts faintly dissatisfied and indignant, vividly interpreting the image of an honest businessman bullied by a bully officer.

Alvin was unmoved.

The digital vision's monitoring of his heartbeat, pupils, blood flow and even some of his mental fluctuations have clearly told Alvin that this guy is trying his best to hide something, and it is by no means as simple as he appears.

"Don't get excited. If there is any problem, we will let you know by setting off a few fireworks. We are also doing this for the safety of the celebration. Please understand."

Before the lion-headed Barry could react, Alvin had randomly lit a few fireworks bombs on the ground, and several sailors had volunteered to pick them up and set them off.

Bang

Bang

Fireworks bombs flew straight into the sky and exploded one after another, creating a brilliant display of fireworks.

Under the firelight, the expression on Ivan's face was uncertain.

"No problem? It's not much different from normal fireworks, but the colors are a little less, and there are only two kinds?"

The corner of his eye glanced at the lion's head again, and he secretly labeled his expression at this moment: "Being confident!"

has a problem!

But not here.

The gorgeous fireworks flashed away, and the sailors and "Zorro" who was observing secretly felt that something was unexpected, and at the same time they set their sights on Ivan, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Even the instigator "Zorro" was a little undecided when he saw this very normal scene. Could it be that he was really overthinking? These people just looked more vicious, or spoke uncontrollably?

But as a wizard of the prophecy school, his keen sense was already warning him when he saw those fireworks. Although he had done divination himself, he was limited by his limited ability and could not discover the cause and effect, but after seeing the real thing, there was always something.

sensed.

He had a hunch that if this thing was not handled well, although it would not be as serious as the incident required by his promotion ceremony, it would still be a big trouble!

In fact, Alvin is not as clueless as "Zorro" feared.

Through the monitoring of digital vision, it has been determined that there must be something wrong with the leader, the lion-headed man. It is naturally much easier to directly find evidence with the conclusion.

And even if we can’t find any evidence, what are we doing?

The mighty Kingdom Navy, a veritable violent organization, can just detain them on the spot. At least on this island, no one dares to say a word no. Well, it is so overbearing! Simple, direct, and efficient!

However, out of a sense of responsibility and legal procedures, Aiwen still wanted to find out the problem as much as possible, truly cut off the source of the unrest, and convince them.

He reached out and picked up the two fireworks bombs and looked carefully. The dark spherical shells and the long fuses were all exactly the same, but the colored paper on the shells of the fireworks shells was different.

Checking the colored paper on the outer casing one by one, there are two colors like the fireworks. It seems that a complete tulip pattern has been divided into two halves and attached to two different fireworks bombs.

In Ivan's opinion, if these fireworks are an important prop for them to cause trouble, they are simply using the power of the explosion to either create chaos or directly kill and injure people participating in the celebration.

But fireworks are just fireworks after all. No matter how powerful they are, how lethal can they be?

"etc!"

Sticker of two types of fireworks split in half

A flash of light flashed through Aiwen's heart.

He turned around and swung his sword to accurately cut open two fireworks bombs of different colors. The gunpowder inside the shell of "Shasha" broke and flowed out. One was silver-gray and the other was orange-red.

Although Ivan was not an engineering student in his previous life, he still knows some basic chemistry knowledge. The different colors of fireworks are due to the addition of different metal powders. When different metal powders burn, they will have magical flame color reactions.

It’s not surprising that the colors of the gunpowder are different, but the tulip stickers that can be pieced together as a whole give Alvin richer associations.

He has not forgotten that there was an amazing thermite experiment in middle school. The materials that can be seen everywhere are harmless in themselves, but when mixed together in a certain proportion, they can cause huge energy release.

In this world where witchcraft exists, there might be a similar magical formula.

The most important thing is that Ivan himself doesn't know what the problem is, but Lionhead must know it. From the moment the gunpowder is exposed, Lionhead Barry's reaction clearly tells Ivan that he is very close to the truth.

"After being exposed to the cold and wet sea breeze for a long time at night, my face is white and my head is sweating profusely. My mental quality is not up to par, man!"

Ivan took it upon himself to take half of the two piles of gunpowder and mixed them together in the simplest ratio imaginable. After all, since this last step has to be handed over to these guys who don't look very smart, it shouldn't be possible.

too complicated.

For safety reasons, Alvin slowly lit a fuse and quickly retreated.

boom

The mixed gunpowder deflagrated instantly, and the orange-yellow fireworks suddenly soared up to two stories high. They were also mixed with shining particles of white light, which crackled to the stone floor of the pier. In a short time, a black flame was burned out.

Burnt hole.

From a long distance away, a scorching heat made everyone's faces hurt.

And as the gunpowder burns, sparks continue to spatter, covering a range of even more than ten meters. One can imagine the consequences if this kind of thing is ignited on the celebration day.

Stone can be burned through, and so can bones.

A sudden burst of cold sweat broke out from Alvin's back!

The crowd, who had been hiding far away, retreated again, highlighting the lion head and his deputy who were already standing on the spot.

A loud shout:
Chapter completed!
