Crow's Paradise

Under Triss's gaze, Ms. Serena said:

"I think the facts are contrary to the current mainstream conclusion."

"The Sun God is the king of the Sun Dynasty, and the Night God Dynasty is the king of the Night Dynasty. However, it is not that the Sun Dynasty was infiltrated and disintegrated by the Night Dynasty, but that the Night Dynasty was defeated by the Sun Dynasty."

She said in a deep voice, and the deep male voice reached Triss's ears:

"Then the Sun Dynasty was disintegrated internally."

After hearing these words, Triss nodded suddenly and slapped her right hand on the palm of her left hand:

"It turns out that the Sun Dynasty collapsed internally!"

However, her expression soon turned into confusion:

"Do you have any other historical evidence?"

Although she also feels that the current mainstream theory is that the Sun Dynasty and the Night Dynasty fought for their national strength and collapsed after excessive losses, this theory is supported by historical data.

But the museum administrator seems to be planning to use this fairy tale literature as evidence?

She didn't beat around the bush and asked the question directly:

"This book can't be used as reliable information, can it?"

However, she then saw the other person shaking his head:

"No, it can be used as evidence."

"The Night Dynasty was completely slaughtered by the Sun Dynasty, but when the Sun Dynasty itself was destroyed, the priests, prophets, and chief priests at that time did not die. There are descendants who have been passed down to the present."

Salina held the book with a solemn expression:

"Some of them established or joined the Church of the Sun God, while others continue to this day as ordinary people."

"Ah?" This sentence made Triss a little strange. Why do you call her an ordinary person?

Aren't they all ordinary people?

No, no, in this context it should refer to nobles, right?

Triss quickly put her unscientific thoughts out of her mind and made a judgment.

However, Sarina seemed to destroy her judgment without shame:

"I think that during the Sun Dynasty, when the Sun God was not dead, the priests, prophets, and chief priests did have magical powers."

"Able to control flames, able to communicate with flames."

After hearing what the other party said, Triss became a little speechless. She is also a person who likes delusions, although she knows that there are many people in the world who like delusions, such as those religious lunatics of the Church of the Sun God, or those who are more or less believers. artist.

However, in the fields of historical research, she originally felt that there would not and should not be such people.

However, now

"It can't be considered strange."

After thinking about her uniqueness in the aristocratic circle, Triss put down this question wisely.

However, because of this, she couldn't help but think about what the other party said:

"Able to control flames? Able to communicate with flames?"

And when she was whispering to herself, she heard the other party's heavy voice like a male voice:

"The descendants of prophets who can sense miracles should also have the ability in this direction. They can sense certain events, or they can sense the power of the fire thief."

Fire thief?

Triss couldn't help but frown when she heard this familiar word.

"The priest is the medium that communicates with the apostle of the sun god and allows the apostle of the sun god to come."

As she spoke, she suddenly paused and started to turn the pages again. The moment she stopped turning the pages, she continued:

"Apostles, as agents of gods, walk on the earth. At the end, they will disintegrate and disperse, return to the sky, and leave their traces on the earth——"

"After devouring human flesh and blood or other things, they will not be taken back to the sky together, but will be left on the earth as the ember stone - the 'Sun Stone'."

Is the sun stone left behind by the apostles?

Isn’t it the blood of the sun god?

Triss was a little surprised when she heard this.

As if aware of her doubts, Serena showed her the words on the page again:

"The conclusions I have drawn from various sources are all in this book."

She looked at Triss steadily:

"Where did you get this book?"

At this time, Triss realized that the other party seemed to be coming for the book in her hand.

But why does she know that she

In an instant, a title appeared in her mind.

It's what the other party called him before.

"prophet"?

Descendants of the Prophet?

This was an unbelievable situation that made her think in this direction.

No, no, no, impossible.

He got this book from the cemetery, from Mrs. Triss's grave. Maybe the man who put down the book knew this Ms. Salina. This action was just to play a prank.

Play a prank on her? The moment this reason appeared, Triss snuffed it out.

Is it a scam? Are you planning to blackmail yourself in the name of theft?

That's it, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

Triss quickly stood up, took a step back, and gestured with her hands:

"This book is not."

However, the other party still stared at her, showing no proud look that could match the success of the gangsters in the Phantom Thieves novels, and no fierce actions during blackmail.

He stared at her like this, as if he wanted to see something in her eyes.

At this moment, the other party interrupted her:

"The chief priest can establish the connection between the sky and the earth through rituals, and establish a channel for the gods to reach the earth from the sky."

"It only takes a very simple way to do it."

"W-what?"

Triss swallowed. These two sentences, as well as the tone and eyes that made her hair stand on end, were self-evident:

"W-let me perform the ceremony?"

But she is not a descendant of the main priest.

She had never heard of such a thing.

She only heard about the priest presiding over the prophet on the first day today.

Is this man a fanatical follower of some fringe cult?

However, at this moment, the other party said:

"I have found the descendants of the officiant. You are not a descendant of the officiant. All you have to do is choose and confirm the ceremony location!"

Found the descendant of the officiant?

Choosing and confirming a ceremony location?

prophet?

Combining what she heard before, Triss immediately realized what the other party was referring to.

Are you a descendant of a prophet?

However, it was also at this moment that the memories of being abandoned by her twelve years ago and considered by her to be innocent delusions of girlhood emerged along with these thoughts.

Are the things I felt before really all my delusions?

No, it's not.

There was a piece of evidence in front of her.

Maybe there was some expectation, maybe it was just a compromise, or maybe there was some sense of mission that came from nowhere, Triss nodded:

"I see."

It might not be bad to experience a different life.

Triss comforted herself.

But she didn't notice the vigilance in the eyes of the lady in front of her when she turned back to the book:

".prophet?"
