Crow's Paradise

Located on the edge of the city, in a somewhat old house with a lot of weeds growing in the garden.

There is a photo on the table in the center of the hall.

In the photo, there is a couple of men and women. The man among them is a tall man with shoulder width and height higher than ordinary people, and he also has gray-red eyes.

He has a serious face and a tall, aquiline nose, but the dark circles under his eyes that seem to be caused by over-fatigue have somewhat marred his temperament.

At this moment, a palm grabbed the photo frame and covered the photo.

It was a tall man, exactly like the man in the photo.

He just looked at the covered photo, then turned around, looked around a few times, and then left the table.

He walked leisurely to the door, then raised his palm, and a piece of paper the size of a palm appeared in his hand.

The paper is engraved with complex and dense lines, like words or a simple depiction of something.

After staring at the paper for a few seconds, he stuffed the paper into the bookshelf in the room, between the three layers of books.

After stuffing one sheet, he raised his hand again, took out another piece of paper that was about the same size as his palm, and placed the paper with the pattern on it in the gap of the furniture.

After repeating this process several times, he tugged on his collar, arranged his appearance, and then walked towards the door.

Not far from this old courtyard, there is a relatively new apartment room.

A woman in a white trench coat leaned against the window and glanced at the small courtyard from the corner of her eye.

Beside her, a man looked suspiciously between her and the small courtyard:

"what you up to?"

After hearing his words, the woman in white dusted off the cigarette butts, extinguished the few cigarettes left in her hand in the ashtray, and then took out another cigarette from her coat pocket.

She didn't use a lighter or a sunstone fire set. She just rubbed her fingers on the cigarette butt, and flames shot out, igniting the cigarette in her hand.

While puffing away her breath, her eyes fell on the man:

"Don't be trembling. I have said it many times. We are different from before. The leader controls the Archon. We have become a member of the Flame Guard. We can act as police officers and are no longer the targets of pursuit. "

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the hut.

"However, the leader takes this matter very seriously."

The man seemed to have been immune to her words for a long time, and he just said with a guarded expression:

"Ever since the Stairway to Heaven fell and the Black Snake was hunted, the leader has never been in this situation again. Do you understand?"

"Of course I understand."

The woman has a leisurely look and a strange sense of laziness:

"The giant who stole the fire is dead, the black snake that ate the fire has also died, the hound that hunted the fire has never appeared again. Now, only us 'strange birds' are left to steal the fire."

Like countless family treasures, the woman told him every trace of the names he was familiar with:

"The Fire Eater never appeared again after the incident on the Stairway to Heaven, and disappeared together with the 'Sun God'."

The light from the window fell on half of her cheeks, making her look even more enchanting:

"Now, is there anything else that can threaten us?"

This sentence made the man frown again:

"you--"

"Okay, okay, instead of putting in the effort to correct me, you might as well work harder on yourself."

She raised her head, and the hair covering her left eye moved away with the movement. Shocking wounds were spread all over the upper left part of her face, including her eyes.

He could also understand why.

When the huge fire beast and the monster like the "Sun God" appeared, he completely lost his power and seemed to become an ordinary person.

That kind of gap is extremely uncomfortable for people who have experienced powerful power.

Moreover, in that situation, they were indeed like ordinary people, unable to deal with crises that were difficult for ordinary people to solve.

The metal that could be burned with flames, melted and destroyed, peeled off, could easily tear apart their bodies.

Plus.

They were the only two of the strange birds who acted together at the beginning.

The Fire Thief is not omnipotent.

The man knows that she is afraid, she is afraid.

For her, the target that even the leader has repeatedly warned her to pay attention to may have been cast as bright as the Stairway to Heaven.

The man shook his head.

But it is undeniable that this time, they are facing a difficult enemy. However, with the leader here, there should be no problem.

However, there is no problem, it is just the entire plan. As a member of the strange bird, they are not sure.

He also sighed in his heart.

Since appearing a month ago, until now, there have been very few clues left. If he hadn't seen the leader kill the black snake with his own eyes, he would even suspect that the target this time was the black snake.

After the information from the informants arranged by them in various cities came and was compiled, they realized that this time the target had arrived in this city.

Since the incident twelve years ago, the leader took control of the surrounding areas centered on this city. All the information about ancient times and about the "Giant of Fire" Tamori had collected, under the order of the leader, they Keep coming together.

The only people who can become fire thieves are the descendants of the ancient Sun Dynasty.

Originally, both the leader and him knew something about it, but they just thought that they were descendants of royal nobles or something like that.

However, they later learned about Tamori's speculations about the ancient dynasty from various texts collected by Tamori.

The source of power of all fire thieves comes from the "Sun God". They all know this. However, it was actually only twelve years ago that they realized that the power of fire thieves comes from The ancient solar dynasty performed sacrificial rituals to the sun god again and again, praying for power from the sun god.

And recently, while continuing to search for this target, they got further information.

Prophet, priest, officiant.

It turned out to be two references.

The apostle who stole the power of the Sun God, and the priest who stole the power of the apostle.

"According to legend, after the apostles descended, they were unwilling to return to the sky. They took up residence in the bodies of priests and multiplied in the human kingdom."

"Is that so?"

Triss listened to the description of Miss Sarina, who had a male voice, and at the same time she responded, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in her heart.

How could she agree so easily to follow others to a place like this?

But is this myth true?

Suddenly he said that he was a descendant of the prophet.

They also say that the descendants of the priests can control the flames, but they are searching for the descendants of the prophet and the officiant.

You have to cooperate with the descendants of the chief priest to fight against the descendants of the priests. The method is to hold a ceremony and ask the apostles of God to come again to fight against the descendants of those who stole the fire.

Even though the other party said so much, there was always something special about her, Triss was still half-convinced.
