Crow's Paradise

No, saw nothing.

She didn't find the source of the burning sensation at the first time, and by the time she reacted to look for it, she couldn't feel it anymore.

This situation made her frown.

Her eyes swept over the tombstones, and she recalled the feeling of burning flames. The memory of most of the cabin on the Stairway to Heaven burning, resurfaced in her mind again.

Although she was not as afraid of airships and flames as some other passengers, to the point where she was unable to cook with her own hands or go to high places, she did have some bad reactions to these.

After thinking briefly, Triss quickly left the cemetery with the book.

After he left, a strangely shaped fire beast stepped out on the deserted ground.

Although the overall outline is relatively harmonious, it is only a "comparison".

Bird head and claws, dog body and canine teeth, humanoid eyes, and snake tail scales.

After glancing at his paws, Yao Yan turned his gaze to the other side.

And on his body, the flames swayed.

And his body quickly transformed from this mixture of characteristics into a human form:

"Twelve years, and finally one has arrived."

Yao Yan looked at the human shape formed by the flames in the direction Tris left.

Triss got into a taxi in a panic.

"Miss, where are you going?"

The taxi driver glanced at the rearview mirror in the upper right corner.

"Ah, ah, go to Mo. No, go to Zolis Street."

Triss came back to her senses after hearing this and said quickly.

"Zolis Street, right? Got it."

The driver with a mustache pressed the button, and the sunshade on the engine outside the car was opened, and then the vehicle slowly began to move.

The driver looked at her panting and couldn't help but ask:

"Miss, are you a family member of the victims of the Stairway to Heaven?"

"Huh? Ahem——"

Triss was stunned, not expecting the other party to ask such a question. She choked and coughed for a while.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm just busy and want to find someone to chat with. I think it's really rare that people still come here to worship after so many years."

The taxi driver laughed, glanced at the rearview mirror outside the car, and said to lighten the mood:

"Don't worry, the ghosts in the cemetery don't hurt anyone."

"ah?"

Triss also quickly understood what the driver meant, but using the topic of ghosts was not very humorous:

"No, no, it's not a ghost, it's just a dog that ran in from the cemetery."

Naturally, Triss didn't say anything about feeling the flames burning, and just found an explanation that fit her actions as she ran all the way to the car.

"oh oh."

The driver showed a surprised expression, and then warned:

"Don't run when you encounter a dog, otherwise you will be chased and bitten as prey."

Triss just smiled awkwardly at the driver's warning. However, at this time, she seemed to remember something and looked at the book in her hand.

Bubble?

She felt bad in her heart, but the car had already left the cemetery. Triss also temporarily gave up her plan to return the book and decided to do it again in a few days. Then she picked up the book "Bubble" and asked the driver :

"Mr. Driver, have you heard of this book?"

As she spoke, she raised the book.

"ah?"

The driver took a look through the interior mirror and barely recognized it:

"Bubbles? Never heard of it. Are you a writer?"

"Hey, why do you think so?"

"Ah, haha, my home is right next to the library. I usually go there to read books when I have free time. Over the past few decades, even if I haven't read all the books in the library, I still know the names. This book is not in the library. "

The driver showed off proudly:

"I also went to the library yesterday, and I also learned about the catalog of new books that have been put into the library. The original owner of that library was a collector and collected all the books. Unfortunately, the accident on Stairway to Heaven was also included twelve years ago. Although he passed away, all books will still be included in the collection according to the library's rules."

As he said this, the driver did not forget to look at the road:

"The books that are not included in that library are rare. There are only those self-published books that are published in small quantities at one's own expense."

The implication is that she is a little-known writer, and this "Bubble" is a book she published at her own expense.

To the driver's misunderstanding, Triss could only respond with an awkward smile, assuming that the book was her work. However, she became somewhat interested in the library the driver mentioned:

"What library are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's the Tamori Library. It was originally a private library. The owner of the library previously offered a reward. He said that as long as you can bring books that are not in the library to the library, you can get the reward. Depending on the rarity and rarity of the book, As time goes by, I will buy this book for my collection at five times the price.”

"The library owner was really special. The size of the library gradually expanded with the collection of books. Even after the owner passed away, the library's extensive collection allowed many genre enthusiasts to spontaneously support and maintain the library. Later, several With the support of wealthy businessmen, it finally survived.”

The driver said with a proud look, making Triss immediately understand that the driver was also one of the "supporters".

However, the name Taimoli seems a bit familiar.

However, seeing her silence, the driver thought of something and smiled:

"Miss, you can also send your book to the Tamori Library to try. However, if it is a recently published book, the price will not be too high, and the library will only buy one copy."

Hearing these words, Triss was suddenly speechless.

Her silence was interpreted as thinking wrongly.

However, she had basically never heard of this library matter.

I asked as soon as I thought of it, Triss immediately asked this question:

"Ah, when this matter was most popular, it was almost fifteen years ago. At that time, Miss, you might not even recognize all the words you write in the book now."

The driver responded with what he thought was humor.

And the fact that this driver was not good at humor and didn't know how to speak also settled in Triss' mind.

But what the other person said was very clear, and she was able to understand it quickly.

This kind of reward can indeed bring a lot of popularity, but the scope of books that can meet the reward conditions will become smaller and smaller as a book is included in the library.

There are too many collections. In order to avoid wasted work, sometimes even if you suspect that the Tamori Library does not have the book in your hand, you will not send it to it. Even if it can be bought by the library, if it is a book of little value, Not worth it either.

Except for collectors or book lovers, the popularity of this kind of thing will soon drop to the point where only a certain group of people know about it.

but

Just right.

Triss looked at the book in her hand.

Rather than reading it at home, it might be a good choice to go to the library to read it. You can also look for other interesting phantom thief novels in the library!

Triss made a decision.
