The Workshop District at the base of the Gos Velen City's walls was indeed already ablaze.
Fortunately, it was already late at night, and there weren't too many people inside the workshops. Most had already gone home to rest.
So when Ged rushed over in a hurry, the first thing he felt relieved about was that there were no casualties.
Belengar, clad in the high-grade armor of the Wolf School, had already organized everyone remaining in the workshops to evacuate.
The spontaneously igniting workshops had become a continuous sea of flames.
The fire was inexplicable and extremely abnormal because the production of Valerian Steel inherently involves high-temperature operations, and the buildings' fire resistance is excellent.
Yet tonight, this place that technically should withstand even direct flame suddenly caught fire extensively.
Thick smoke rose violently, mingling with the night, making the smoke's path indistinct while only the choking smell was perceptible.
