Shabi sat on the ground resting, watching as a dozen professionals waved their hands to summon large streams of water out of thin air.

Seven or eight streams of water converged in mid-air, aimed at the fiercely burning areas around each house for flushing.

A moment later, the flames outside were extinguished.

The streams of water seemed to have life, forming into small dogs, rushing inward.

Ten or so professional "firefighters", none higher than level four, managed to control the fire.

Indeed, expertise lies in specialization. At least Shabi felt even if he leveled up a few times to become a level fifteen professional, he probably couldn't handle it so fast.

But just when everyone thought the fire was over...

"Boom!!!!"

A faint sound, and flames surged out again, emerging from the house, burning fiercely.

"This is a magically burning flame!"

A captain-like firefighter frowned.

"Firefighter sir, there's a warehouse inside, and there might still be people in it!" Just then, a clerk who had fainted woke up, told the firefighter, and then fainted again.

Hearing this, the "firefighter" nodded to the people around and was about to rush in.

However, surprisingly, several "firefighters" could not step into the flames at all.

The captain frowned and sensed, saying gravely, "This flame... seems to hinder the entry of magic power."

Other professionals tried as well, indeed, as soon as they entered they felt their magic power was being burned.

But when a few ordinary people tried, they found no hindrance at all.

"Nick! Gabriel! Raskechi!"

The "firefighter" captain called out in a deep voice: "Step forward!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

Three firefighters in magical fireproof suits stepped in front of the captain.

"You are not yet enlightened, still considered ordinary people... now, there are still people inside the warehouse who haven't been rescued. Are you willing to go in and save them?"

Under the reflection of the magical flame, the captain's expression was unpredictable, extremely grave.

These three firefighters were ordinary people!

"Captain, I'm not an ordinary person either! I want to go too!"

"Me too! Just right, I'm not yet enlightened, haha!"

"I'll go! I want to go too!"

Several others stood up and shouted.

"You few roll back!" The captain roared coldly, "Those with wives and children, parents alive, but no descendants, are not allowed to go!"

So, everyone was silent.

This was simply saying, going in meant death!

But those three firefighters quickly took off their magical fireproof coats, soaked their clothes with water, and covered their mouths and noses as they rushed inside.

Shabi not far away suddenly had his pupils constrict.

Three ordinary people!

At this moment the magical flame rose hundreds of meters high!

This situation should be handled by those strong ones, a few bakery employees, and several firefighters about to be enlightened, becoming official figures of Great Wilderness City, couldn't compare!

Under the Naseng Crystal Wall, Shabi hadn't seen such a thing!

Who would sacrifice their life for some unknown humble people!

Moreover, those employees might not even be alive!

For what?

Salary?

As an assassin, Shabi had seen a lot, knowing few people would risk their lives for money, at most joking and storytelling, when faced with danger, they'd run faster than anyone.

However, those three people went in without hesitation.

Shabi felt a strange touch in his heart.

Five minutes later, three figures, charred black from smoke, staggered out through the flames, each carrying two people, faces pitch black.

Why... why... Shabi only felt his heart shook indescribably.

"Where science and magic can't reach, the power of the people will flatten it."

At this time, Xiaoguoren beside him softly said, "This is what Master Lin Ke once said... Never have gods or legends cared for the people, only the people can save themselves."

Xiaoguoren's fur was somewhat dry and curling from the heat, but his eyes were very bright.

"The power of the people... their own redemption..." Shabi fell silent.

And at this moment, those three firefighters laid down the injured, cracked a smile on their sooty faces, and then their bodies began to fall backward.

However, their bodies were halfway down when they were supported by a force.

Everyone present couldn't help but look up at the sky.

They saw a handsome young man descending from the sky, stepping on an invisible blade.

This young man waved his hand, and the three firefighters were naturally gently placed on the ground by the invisible force.

"You are all good kids, no, you are all heroes." The young man said softly to the firefighters, estimated to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Then he took out a dark red staff, tapped it on the ground.

A spirit body appeared immediately beside the young man.

"Magnalos, where did this void flame come from?" The young man inquired softly.

"Master, the space in the city has always been stable, perhaps the shopkeeper made a mistake when purchasing materials." The Magma Dragon's spirit answered.

Looking at the young man, Shabi's eyes widened.

This... this man is...

"Duke Lin Ke!" The Xiaoguoren beside him exclaimed with joy.

In an instant, everyone's hearts cleared of gloom.

When other lords came, everyone scattered and fled.

But when Lin Ke came, everyone felt reassured.

Shabi naturally also noticed this emotional shift, and couldn't help but sigh deep inside.

Alas, the heart of an assassin was almost gone!

...

Lin Ke looked over.

This cat-man, Lin Ke remembered, was a native of the Houston Plane, who had traveled many times before settling in the Great Wilderness, apparently also with Azanen, a retired veteran.

"Xiaoguoren, is it?" Lin Ke recalled the cat-man's name from memory, then said to those around, "Those who act bravely are worthy of reward... Magnalos, give everyone a thousand coins as a reward." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Yes, Master." Magnalos nodded, leaving a mark in the ID of the brave ones, on the other side also notified the bank people to make the payment.

"Master Lin Ke, this is what we should do!"

"Indeed, indeed! We're all neighbors, why talk about money!"

"Anyway, I don't want it. Even if it's sent, I'll donate it, donate it to the orphanage... Saving people has already satisfied my heart, there's no need for money!"

"Me too, I'll donate too!"

Everyone discussed, anyway, no one truly wanted the money.

So, Shabi suppressed the joy of getting money inside and tried to appear calm.

"Master Lin Ke!" At this time, that firefighter captain came forward to report, "There is something strange about the magical flame here!"

Lin Ke nodded to this captain: "Hmm, you did well, responded fast, and put the people first, but... step back, this is beyond your handling."

Lin Ke turned around, looking coldly at the blazing building in front of him.
