Chapter 75.1: Sothing Different
One erupted up safely...
Rishe breathed a sigh of relief, looking up outside of the castle from the gardens of the Imperial Castle.
Of the two knight guards who escorted Rishe, all who remained here were looking up at the sky, except for one who hurriedly headed sowhere.
Her partner Theodore’s eyes, which had a shade like his brother’s, also widened.
Since losing sight of Michel, Theodore and his team set up a search matrix throughout the Imperial Capital.
However, what they were mainly looking for was not Michel himself, but the gunpowder.
Their main target for this surveillance wasn’t Michel.
This was how Rishe explained her request to Theodore.
It was only a few days ago that she spread out a few sheets of paper on the table in the conference room and broke down the general picture.
[“Teacher’s purpose is probably to set up things in three places in the Imperial Capital. I would like all of you to evacuate the people around as soon as you find sothing of the shape illustrated on this paper. Are any of you good at disarming ... traps?”]
[“Of course. Half of my n are skilled in this area.”]
[“Then have them follow the procedures outlined here.”]
What she gave Theodore was a diagram of the device that Michel might use.
[“Like a trap, it’s a dangerous device if you disarm it by mistake. But unlike traps, this one isn’t difficult to disarm, so if you learn the exact steps, the risk level will decrease considerably.”]
[“It’s a much more friendly design than the traps they usually disarm. However, I’ll remind them to be very careful.”]
[“Thank you... Next, let’s talk about the potential installation locations for the “target”. If you lose sight of Teacher, you can still narrow down your search to a certain extent.”]
After saying that, Rishe continued to explain to Theodore.
By following him every day, they were able to figure out all the routes that Michel has taken.
They determined the range of his activities prior through the information network of the residents in the favelas. Michel’s neutral and stunning appearance stood out well, and he wasn’t the kind of man who would wear a disguise to blend in with the city.
Furthermore, Rishe rembered.
She rembered Michel’s experint plan, which he taught her during her life as an alchemist.
In the urban experint plan, the number of devices to be prepared is three. He said that he will conduct the experint in a well-ventilated area that is biased only towards low buildings.
The locations where these conditions overlap are well known to the residents of the favelas who roam all over the Imperial Capital to earn a living.
It would be easier to find them if they limited their search to the routes that Michel took.
In his remote experint, Michel assud that most of the conditions would be aligned as per the plans in order to eliminate as much uncertainty as possible.
The climate, humidity, weather, and building density were optimal for this experint. The three devices were set up at a distance of at least one kiloter from each other to ensure that the wind direction and other conditions were as varied as possible. I can’t tell how many tis he repeated these lines over and over, so I recall clearly...
The ti of the explosion was just before nightfall. This was the ti when there was barely enough light to see the explosion and fewer people were out on the streets.
At this ti of the year in Garkhain, it was eighteen o’clock in the evening.
And just a few minutes ago, right after her conversation with Michel, Theodore received a report saying, “It’s ti.”
“Now, that’s...”
Michel stood up and stepped forward unsteadily.
The knight guards rushed to ready their swords, but quickly stopped. At eighteen o’clock, the ti Michel foretold, confusion was all over their faces when they witnessed the events that occurred in the Imperial Capital.
Rovine looked down at Michel with a blank expression and said nothing.
“Colored flas. The sll of gunpowder. That thing blew up in the sky? What the hell does it contain?...”
Teacher Michel’s device is so accurate and easy to understand.
What Rishe was concerned about was whether she would be able to make it in ti, and whether or not the mass of gunpowder she had nad fireworks would shoot up into the sky successfully.
Even if we could find the gunpowder device, it was a gamble that we’d be able to reconnect the wires. Although I’ve never seen the device before, thankfully, it was designed for handling simply by following the correct procedure.
There was no excess in the device, and it could be connected to so extent by observation alone.
The device was so simple that anyone could use it, which was also convenient for users.
Rishe nad the beautiful flas that rose in the sky fireworks.
The glow of the fireworks seed etched vividly in Michel’s eyes. He gazed at the sky with eyes looking at an unknown matter, like a child who didn’t yet understand the starry sky.
