Pirate reincarnated into slime

Chapter 84 Accident Situation
At this time, the orphanage has become a ruin, and around the ruins, a group of people are watching and discussing non-stop.

However, there were not many onlookers, and almost all of them were villagers from the small village not far away.

It's no wonder, after all, this orphanage has only a few children without relatives, and the distance from Luan City is not too close. Unless you want to, you can discuss it in a tavern in the city. Why bother to come here?

Of course, besides the onlookers, there are also investigators here.

However, it was not the navy, but the local guards in Luan City. If something like this happened, they would have to rush over no matter how hard they tried.

……

Back to Roland, they were still strolling in the street, but they began to deliberately approach the city gate.

In this way, you can leave directly after buying things, which can save a lot of time.

Suddenly, Mei Lin exclaimed, "Huh? Isn't that Beatrice?"

Roland looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, a familiar figure was running towards the city gate, it was Beatrice.

Her expression looked like she was very anxious.

"Beatrice!" Melin called to her, "What happened? Why are you running in such a hurry?"

"Ah! It's you guys!" Beatrice was stunned for a moment, but she didn't stop. She ran and said, "Sorry! Something happened to the orphanage, I'm in a hurry, let's talk next time!"

Before Meilin could say anything more, Beatrice had already run away, leaving the three of Roland in doubt.

"What happened? What the hell is..." Mei Lin turned to look at Roland, "Would you like to take a look?"

Roland thought for a while, then nodded, "Go and have a look, anyway, the things are almost sold out, and what happened yesterday is also a kind of fate, if you can help, please help."

"Thank you, Captain," Mei Lin smiled, and looked at Xiaoyu again, "Where is Xiaoyu? Is there anything else you haven't bought?"

Xiaoyu shook her head. She didn't have anything to buy, and she didn't spend any of the pocket money Roland gave her.

After that, the three of them ran towards the orphanage.

When running, it is naturally impossible to hold hands, but now is not the time to think about these things, so Roland is too lazy to think about them.

……

Although it took less time than yesterday to get from the orphanage to the city, it still took a lot of time. The three of them finally arrived at the fork in the road. You can see some people coming and going in the direction of the orphanage, but not many .

Roland stopped one person and began to inquire.

When the other party said that the orphanage was on fire and burned to ashes, the three of Roland couldn't help but widen their eyes, a little unbelievable.

The place I visited yesterday, today... so gone?
They finally understood Beatrice's eagerness just now. This kind of thing happened, even passers-by like them who only met once, felt uncomfortable, let alone Beatrice who had a close relationship with them.

"Where are those children? And Mrs. Harriet, how are they doing?" Merlin asked urgently again, with a worried look on her face.

Although there were some unpleasant experiences with Betty yesterday, it has been so long, and she has long since let go of it.

Hearing Mei Lin's question, the passer-by smiled slightly, "They are all fine. Although they all fainted outside the house when they were found in the morning, their lives are not in danger. They are all resting in the Maria Hotel now."

"Huh—" Mei Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a blessing in misfortune."

After the passer-by left, Xiaoyu said, "Then should we visit them in a hotel? Or in an orphanage?"

"Let's go to the hotel," Roland said, "Didn't that person just say that the guards are investigating the cause of the fire, so let's not get involved."

"Well," Merlin nodded. Although she thought Beatrice should be in the orphanage, since Roland said so, let's go to the hotel.

……

When we arrived at the entrance of the hotel, a few people in uniforms just came out. They should be the so-called guards. It seems that in addition to investigating the location of the fire, they also came to question the person involved.

Seeing their arrogant appearance, Roland didn't want to get into trouble for no reason, so he stepped aside.

And they did not pay attention to the three of Roland, they were still chatting to themselves while walking.

"It's really a group of kids, it's ridiculous to say that kind of thing," one of them said with a smile.

"But, that lady also said so, could it really be..." another person retorted.

"Are you serious?" The third person also spoke, with some disdain in his tone, "Don't be ridiculous, being saved by a huge creature must have hallucinated from being frightened, okay?"

"That's right, maybe those children were also hinted at by her words, so they said that." The person who spoke first nodded, "To be honest, it's a waste of time. Their words are not at all useful for finding out the cause of the fire. It's useless."

"Do you still need to check?" The third person pouted, "Who would burn down an orphanage? It must be their carelessness that caused the fire!"

"You can't draw conclusions so simply," the second person retorted again, "The lady also said that there was no fire in the kitchen at that time, and only the lights were still on in other places. It is reasonable that there would be no natural fire. .”

"Why are you so brainless?" The person who spoke first frowned, "No matter how hard you search for this kind of thing, you will definitely find nothing, and besides, it's just a broken house, and nothing happened. Casualties, even if they are found, they will be shut down for a few days, why waste time and energy?"

"But, this is our job..."

"Too lazy to tell you..."

In this way, they chatted and drifted away.

Behind them, Roland, who had listened to their conversation, had a thoughtful expression.
