British 1986

After smashing several bottles of whiskey one after another and spilling them on the carpet, Clark moved his nose, and the whole Oak Hall was filled with the smell of alcohol. To be on the safe side, he picked up the paint and sprinkled a little more, trying to cover up the smell of alcohol a little.

Picking up another bottle of whiskey with the highest alcohol content, and after knocking it open, Clark looked at the whiskey in his hand, gritted his teeth, raised the broken bottle, and started pouring it over his head.

The high-strength alcohol was sprinkled on his head and face, and his eyes were stung by the whiskey. Clark grinned and placed the bottle on the bottle. He shook his head. This time he fumbled to pull the rope made of wallpaper, prepared it, and then took out the tools.

The special brush and scissors looked the same as ordinary tools. Rub the handle of the brush with one side of the scissors to create sparks. Clark squinted his eyes, ignoring the redness of his eyes stung by whiskey, and rubbed them again and again.

Weak sparks fell on the carpet, and the wool carpet stained with high whiskey met the sparks and suddenly emitted a layer of blue light.

A thin layer of blue flames spread along the wine Clark had just spilled, like a blue ghost.

When the low-temperature fire completely burned through the carpet, the orange-yellow flames spread, and a choking smell of burnt wool permeated the entire Oak Hall.

Clark was a little worried and ignored the heat transmitted from his shoes. He poured another bottle of whiskey on his body and then lay down in the fire not far from the wine cabinet.

"!!!"

A layer of blue fire instantly covered his upper body. There was no pain at first, just a warm feeling, a bit like basking in the sun on vacation at the beach.

Slowly, a feeling like tens of thousands of countless ants crawling all over my body came over me.

Clark almost couldn't hold back the pain of being bitten by tens of thousands of ants, and his whole scalp was numb and numb.

He didn't know what he looked like now, but he knew that his whole body was on fire!

Gritting his teeth to hold back the pain, Clark was thrashing on the ground in pain. He didn't even dare to slap the ground with his hands in pain.

In the smoke-filled Oak Hall, an old man in overalls was lying on the ground with his whole body on fire, as if he had been electrocuted, twitching and silent.

After enduring it for three minutes, when Clark's consciousness was about to blur, he thought of his wife, his children, and the entire Sharp family, and also thought of the family history he heard from his grandfather.

The Sharp family was given their surname by the earl and traveled from Wales to Australia. After experiencing various risks on the way, they finally set foot in Australia.

Their family did not disobey the earl's orders and helped the first governor of Australia, suppressing criminals, exterminating local natives, training soldiers, etc. In the end, their ancestor was injured and retired.

The Sharp family did not disgrace the Earl of Carmarthen. Their ancestors spent their entire lives completing the task.

Now, he, Sharp Clark, has waited his whole life to sacrifice his life for the Hill family just like his ancestors did.

But Clark thinks he is braver than his ancestors!

His ancestors died of old age at home, but he died in Windsor Castle with his whole body on fire. He, Clark, has never lost anything in his life!

Thinking of this, Clark subconsciously wanted to pull the "rope" in his hand.

But the fire was too strong, and he was so burned that he couldn't move.

Relying entirely on his subconscious behavior, Clark forced himself to slowly pull the rope that had not yet burned.

Although he could no longer see it, he felt it!

With a bang.

The huge wine cabinet hit Clark who was lying on the ground.

The broken bottle spilled more wine, further fueling the fire.

With the wine cabinet as the center, a huge fireball seemed to explode, making a huge sound with a "boom".

The loud noise finally attracted the guards.

"There's a fire! Someone come quickly!"

"Is there anyone inside?"

"Somebody come!"

The guards panicked and started calling for backup.

There are no smoke alarms in this old-fashioned castle, and there are even no sprinkler devices commonly installed on the ceiling.

Most of the things here are priceless. If something accidentally touches the device and damages the furniture or other things, no one will be responsible.

Now that there is a sudden fire, the guards can only call for people to put out the fire. Here

Not even the most basic fire extinguisher!

The guards could only watch as thick smoke billowed throughout the Oak Hall and the fire spread.

At five or six o'clock in the afternoon in London, whether you are going into or out of the city, the traffic is very congested.

Even if you are checking the boss, you still have to watch the poisoned road around you, and the convoy slowly creeps towards the city.

"Dong dong dong!"

The sound of violent knocking on the car window woke up Boss Cha. He turned his head in confusion and looked at Butler Capel holding his cell phone and knocking on the car window anxiously. Boss Cha asked the driver to press the window glass. .

"What's wrong? You're so frizzy."

"Your Highness!!! Windsor Castle is on fire!"

Butler Capel's voice broke. He spoke the most explosive news in an extremely depressed voice that he thought was very low.

"What?"

Boss Cha didn't pretend this time and looked at Butler Capel in shock.

"Five minutes ago, some guards heard a loud noise. There was a fire in the Oak Hall. Now the fire has spread. They don't know what to do, Your Highness!"

Boss Cha’s hands were shaking nervously.

It’s no wonder that the guard called to ask what to do. Fire in such an old building is very troublesome. It’s not like a fire in an ordinary residential building, which can be solved by sending a fire truck.

for example

A normal fire truck cannot enter the castle at all, and besides, the guards will not allow them to drive a fire truck into the castle.

If the fire cannot be saved, because these outsiders entered the castle, and the castle suffered more damage, who can bear this responsibility?

But what if the fire truck directly puts out the fire outside?

no!

The foundation of Windsor Castle itself is high, like a small mound, overlooking the scenery of the entire surrounding royal municipality.

There are nearly 100 meters of woods spreading outward from the foundation.

Just these woods blocked the path of the fire trucks.

Even if it means cutting down trees to open roads, there is currently no fire truck as long as a cloud truck.

Even these early difficulties have been solved.

There is also the most critical question.

Fire trucks always spray water or fire extinguishing agents, right?

What if these things further damaged parts of the castle that were not on fire, damaging other things?

If you take out any of the things here and sell them to these guards, they won't be able to afford the compensation.

If it is damaged, who is responsible?

so.

Now the fire department knows that there is a fire here, but because the place where the fire broke out is so special, they don't know what to do.

The guards didn't know what to do and could only quickly evacuate the workers who were still working on the castle.

Then I called the person in charge, Boss Cha, for instructions on what to do!

what to do?

Boss Cha was also a little confused now. He knew that Allen was going to set a fire, but he didn't know how big it would be. As for what to do after setting the fire, Boss Cha remembered that it seemed that Allen hadn't said it, nor had he asked.

Asked this question suddenly now, he really didn't know what to do.

"How's the fire going? You organize people to put out the fire!"

Boss Cha looked at Butler Capel and pinned the person in charge on Butler Capel.

"Your Highness, the entire third floor is on fire. Guards have risked their lives to make sandbag isolation belts. There are signs of spread on the fourth floor, and there are also signs on the second floor, but they are only limited to the upper and lower floors around the Oak Hall. It has not spread yet. Too many.”

"If we are to put out a fire, we can only call the London firefighting helicopter for rescue, but this will cause a lot of damage to the castle."

Even if a stone castle catches fire, the furniture inside will be burned. There will be no problem with the frame of the castle itself. The quality of Windsor Castle, which has lasted for nearly a thousand years, is still good.

Butler Capel was also worried that if he damaged the castle while putting out the fire, he would not be responsible.

Firefighting helicopters hoist tons of water and sprinkle it down from the sky

If this water flows down the castle, no one can say how much damage it will cause to the things inside.

Just like the burned temple in Paris in the future. When it burned, no one put out the fire?

Someone rescued. But the main goal of their rescue was people, and they also controlled the fire to avoid igniting the nearby buildings. Others

There was really nothing we could do but to preserve the frame of the building.

Capel means the same thing now. Mobilize guards, first build isolation zones, use sandbags and fireproof materials, etc., first control the fire area, and wait until those floors are burned out at the worst.

This is a more conservative plan, but it can also minimize losses.

"Okay, you go make arrangements, notify the convoy, and let's go back!"

No matter how many things Boss Cha has, he leaves them all to Butler Capel.

To be honest, he is a little scared now.

Allen, that kid, called him to give him a hint, and then didn’t say anything.

The fire started. He left Windsor Castle and has not yet entered London.

It's only such a short time. If he runs a little slower, he might not be able to get out!

Farke!

"My current location is the Royal Borough of Berkshire, above the side of Windsor Castle! Everyone, look in this direction!"

On the TV, the reporter wore headphones and pointed at the scene outside the helicopter in a manner that was almost shouting.

Windsor Castle in the distance.

Under the setting sun, as if echoing the setting sun, thick smoke was billowing from the corner tower of the castle.

The entire area around Windsor Castle is under martial law. At times like this, there is no need for chaos. Anyway, if reporters want to enter via the ground, there is no need to even think about it.

News broadcast can only be carried out through this method of aerial photography, and the helicopter cannot fly over Windsor Castle and can only hover around it.

Hu Te looked at the picture on the TV with a pale face, and then looked at his young master.

this.

"Don't be nervous Hu Te, this is just a common accident, isn't it?"

"Yes Yes."

The young master said yes, that’s it!

Although Hu Te is sometimes timid, he is not troublesome. Whatever Allen says is whatever it is, no matter what the final reason is, now that things have happened, there is no time for him to regret or think about it.

"Go and cancel the flight and prepare a car. I want to go! His Highness is still supervising the work at the castle. I want to see how His Highness is doing."

Allen picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, stood up and twisted his waist to explain.

"yes!"

"Your Mightiness!"

"Your Mightiness."

"Your Majesty, please. Your Highness is over there. I will take you there."

When Allen worked tirelessly and set off from Wales after seeing the news, taking more than three hours of driving to Windsor Castle, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

The fire was almost done, and a thin layer of smoke fell on the entire backyard and lawn.

Boss Cha, wearing a hard hat and a conspicuous reflective vest, stood talking to an old woman.

Allen worked up his emotions for a while, untied his tie, flexed his tongue, and then deliberately ran a few steps to Boss Cha and said loudly: "Your Highness, are you okay? I left home when I saw the news. .”

Boss Cha was subconsciously ready to get angry, but when he remembered that there were outsiders around him, he held it back and pretended to be tired and said: "Alan is here? I have no problem. Let me introduce to you, this is the Queen's secretary. She is also the maid who has taken care of the Queen’s daily life for decades, Susan.”

"Hello, Ms. Susan, I didn't expect to see you at this time."

Allen sighed again, said hello to Susan briefly, and then turned his attention to Boss Cha again, with an expression of loyalty and concern for Boss Cha's safety.

Susan nodded expressionlessly, bowed slightly and saluted Allen, without saying a word.

Boss Cha raised his chin and motioned for Allen to follow him.

The two walked to the corner next to them, and Boss Cha yelled angrily in his voice: "Is this what you said about setting a fire? Huh? I asked you to say hello to me in advance, what about you?"

"Your Highness, I said hello in advance."

Allen looked at his toes with an embarrassed look.

"Are you in advance?"

Boss Cha became even more angry when he heard Allen's words, and said in a suppressed voice: "If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been left in there today! You told me an hour in advance, is this your advance?"

"Then you...you didn't tell me how far in advance you want me to go. I'm just doing this for the sake of authenticity."

"."

Boss Cha clenched his fists and glanced at the burned-black castle tower in the distance. He still has lingering fears.

After preliminary statistics, there are about six workers who have not been seen yet. They are most likely staying inside. As for whether they will be found by then, it remains to be seen.

In such a huge fire, no one can say whether people were completely burned.

"You go and stay alone, I don't have time to care about you."

After saying a word, Boss Cha turned away angrily.

Allen stared at Boss Cha's retreating back and squinted his eyes.

Now that the fire is out, do you think this is the end?

How can it be so simple?

I have made a lot of preparations for this day!

Thinking of this, Allen looked up and happened to see a familiar person walking from a distance. The night was a bit dark. Allen was not sure if it was that person, so he simply called out.

"Xius?"

Former security specialist, now department head, Hughes.

He was the first person in the security department that Allen met. He first met him when Boss Cha arranged to investigate whether Viscount Fox of Wales had colluded with the Northern Ireland people to provide supplies.

When Hughes heard someone calling him, he looked over here. When he saw the person calling him clearly, Hughes was startled. He jogged two steps to Allen, bent down and saluted: "I didn't expect that." I unexpectedly see you here, Sir Allen."
