Chapter 37 Two Unsung Heroes
  Residents around the Chamber of Commerce spontaneously organized firefighting, and the brick and wood houses were all close together and burned together.

But they could only pour water on the outside and were helpless to the people calling for help inside. They anxiously poured water on each other, and were worried about the shouts in the Chamber of Commerce building.

May the God of Light and Order bless them! Praying is the only thing the surrounding residents can do for the trapped people.

"Look there! The garrison is here!" "Is it coming so fast this time?" The garrison is Valuana's urban force responsible for public security and fire prevention. Its organization is inherited from the old empire.

The two men were wearing wet leather cloaks, and their faces could not be seen clearly. All they could see was that they rushed into the building resolutely carrying lead buckets. Everyone was shocked by their determined retrograde: "Okay! Rescue them!" "Come on!" "God bless you!"

Fortunately, everyone's attention and sights were always focused on the Chamber of Commerce building, and they did not notice that the two members of the "Guard Force" slipped out from the back door of the hotel opposite, nor did they see clearly the nameplate of "Green Hotel" on the lead bucket.

Pym has always been very unlucky, at least he thinks so, and believes that luck is the reason why he has never accomplished anything.

Bad luck seemed to be at work again. I finally got an easy job looking after the warehouse of a large chamber of commerce through my uncle's connections, but I got caught in a fire!
  "Unfortunately!" He huddled in the corner of the warehouse and cried. Pim just tried to escape, but found that the fire on the first floor had reached the ceiling, and the smoke was so thick that it was impossible to see the direction. There was no way to force him back to the warehouse on the first floor, but smoke continued to pour into the cracks in the door.

The environment became hot, and Pim felt a little blurry. He didn't know that this was a sign of hypoxia.

boom! The warehouse door was kicked open violently, and two men in cloaks miraculously walked out from the blazing fire.

"God of Order! You sent an angel to save me!"

"There's a boy who's burned out."

"Look for leather goods first."

It was the Patrolling Falcon and Night Owl who entered the warehouse. They quickly walked through the warehouse shelves and found neatly arranged leather goods, which were the goods that Rorschach and his team had worked hard to escort.

"You and I will each wear two pieces of leather armor." Fortunately, these leather armors were made into vests and were not heavy, allowing them to be worn on top of each other.

"Don't take this one. Our brother has seen it."

"Do you remember this?"

"There's a number on it. Can you use your brain for a mission?"

Fire generally spreads upwards, and the biggest threat to the first floor is smoke, which is not that stressful. The two of them judged again: "It's best to bring out one or two more things. There are people outside, so be natural." Finally their eyes fell on Pim.

"Hey boy, cheer up! If you want to survive, just follow us and be obedient, okay?" Brother Xiao patted Pim's pale face.

Pim looked at the masked "angel" and nodded. Brother Xiao stopped explaining and put the leather armor on him.

The smoke was getting thicker and thicker. He reached into the bucket and took out a rag of various colors and smeared it on the young man's face.

What a smell! Pim wanted to retch, but his face was pressed tightly by the wet rag, and he passed out again. Unfortunately, constitution comes into play again - this rag seems to be used to clean toilets.

The patrolling falcon behind the scene, wearing leather gloves, soaked the wood in a bucket and picked up a piece of burning wood. He set fire to the shelves of other leather goods.

"Will there be fire prevention measures?"

Night Owl dragged Pim and found worn scratches on the wall at the door. If Rorschach were here, he would be able to follow the circuit and see the magic circle of [Water Making] on the ceiling, but the circuit has been broken.

"Oh, it has been in disrepair for a long time, and I don't see the energy storage circuit. Let's go."

Three people who were burnt black rushed out of the fire, and they were greeted by fierce cheers. “Successful!” “Well done!”

"This wounded man needs to take off his coat and check his burns! Someone can bring him water to cool him down!"

The duo had been regarded by the crowd as unquestionable professional rescuers, and they did as they were told. Night Owl took off Pim's leather armor without any violation.

"Hero, there are people up there!" The speaker received accusing looks from others: How could you scold people for entering an increasingly dangerous fire scene?
  Unexpectedly, the two nodded, put the leather armor under the cloak, and asked the people next to them to help pour it from head to toe: "Everyone, we will go in again, but there is no guarantee that we can still succeed!"

Everyone was moved, and with warm applause they rushed into the fire again and then went straight through the first floor and slipped out of the back door into the alley.

"Why do you want to go from here? I almost didn't find the small door!"

"There were so many people watching just now, how can we get out?" Even the scroll of [Elemental Resistance] cannot completely isolate the heat, and can only completely resist the burning damage of about 60 degrees.

"The next step is to find brother Rorschach. The set of ciphers given to him by the boss is"

Accompanied by the rapid ringing of the copper bell, the real police carriage belatedly arrived. The main body of the fire truck was a huge water tank with a push-type human water pump installed on the top.

"It turns out they are not security guards!"

"They are heroes who spontaneously save people!" "Heroes who did not leave their names behind!"

Also arriving at the scene were reporters from newspapers: it was definitely news that a nationally renowned chamber of commerce building was on fire, but now reporters have found better news material.

"Gentlemen of the Guard, please rescue our heroes!"

"Mr. Reporter, this kid was rescued by those two people. Interview him quickly!"

The reporter walked up to Pim, took off the rag that was covered with carbon black on his face, and immediately smelled an unspeakable smell.

Pim opened his eyes and saw blue sky and white clouds. I'm safe! He was close to tears, but dehydration kept him from doing so.

A hateful man with a smile was observing him with narrowed eyes. Pym heard him say: "How does it feel to be rescued by a hero? Can we talk about it?"

On the fifth day of this ten-day period, Rorschach had only morning classes. He got up from the assigned teacher's dormitory, with the Valuauna Morning News stuck on the outside handle of the door.

"Who sent this? Talling? Apprentice?" Rorschach started reading the newspaper while eating breakfast in the restaurant. Apprentices around his age don't read newspapers, but modern people who have lost their mobile phones have an obsessive need for information, and now newspapers can provide some comfort.

"The Lowe Chamber of Commerce building was on fire, and the unknown hero saved people from the fire?" The newspaper company could not afford a magician to cast a spell on it, and it did not have a camera. Instead, it was the front page headline and an illustration of the Lowe Chamber of Commerce building being on fire.

"The painting is good, and the perspective relationship is all right."

Wait, Lowe Chamber of Commerce? Rorschach looked at it: "All the merchandise in stock was burned, causing heavy losses. The Lowe Chamber of Commerce announced that the exchange of business tickets will be postponed this season."

Are all my escort gadgets gone? Thinking of the complicated background of the Chamber of Commerce, the young man smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Rorschach continued to read: two mysterious heroes rushed into the fire scene immediately and rescued a young man. All other people who did not escape were killed, and the unknown hero also disappeared.
  What a lucky boy! Rorschach turned back the page.
