Chapter 53: (Self Edited) Halted Watermill
The company buildings around the watermill were splendidly burned. Even if the inside of the building and the roof were burned, it probably didn’t burn well because of the wetness. Only the water wheel that was immersed in the river had its original appearance. Other than that, the roof, the doors, and all the wooden parts were burned down.
Of course, even if it was set on fire, there was no reason to the building to burn so much because once it was on fire, people would go to the river to get water to extinguish the fire immediately. But I told them not to extinguish the fire.
We needed an outcome that could be shown to the outside world, the parchment guild and the Lakramanus. Whether it became like this or not, it was no different than gratification.
What were burned were assets that I and Hou and Associates no longer needed.
“Did you catch them?” (Yuri)
“Aah.” (Cuffe)
When I asked after arriving there, Cuffe answered briefly.
Even though it was already midnight, more than twenty people including Cuffe were on the site of a burnt down company building. Some of them were crying when looking at the buildings that became ashes, probably because they had a deep feeling toward it.
As a result, there was a large bonfire that was burning in the middle of the ruins, and the area was illuminated brightly.
