Little Priest's Cat Diary

When Mia was still in a daze, he was forcibly taken by the guards to the Temple of the Moon God that he had visited not long ago.

As soon as he reached the door, the guard behind him gave him a hard push.

Unprepared, he staggered a step forward and stumbled into the room.

If it wasn't for his nimbleness, he might have fallen to the ground in embarrassment.

After staggering two steps, barely keeping her body steady, Mia raised her head.

A familiar figure appeared in front of his eyes.

A few days ago, the middle-aged Luna priest who had gently stroked his head stood in the room, his posture as gentle and refined as ever.

The only difference was that the middle-aged priest was looking at him with sighs and pity that he couldn't understand.

Next to the middle-aged priest stood a tall man dressed as a general.

Mia heard the captain of the guard who had captured her come forward and called him commander.

Obviously, this general is the commander of the city guard of Pangwei City.

The commander of the city guard raised his eyes and looked at Mia sharply.

"Tell me, boy, how did you steal those three gems together with Thousand Faces?"

"what?"

Miya looked back at him blankly.

The city guard commander sneered.

"Don't pretend, kid, but it's really unexpected that a little guy like you is an accomplice of the Phantom Thief. Anyway, hurry up and tell the truth, where is the Thousand-Faced Phantom Thief hiding now? Also, those three gems are hidden in the where?"

"That's a sacrifice to the Moon God. How dare you even dare to touch the God's sacrifice!" He said sharply, "Did you hear me! Return the gem immediately if you don't want to suffer!"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Mia frowned.

"I did not collude with the Phantom Thief, nor am I any of his accomplices."

"As for the three gems you want me to hand over..."

He cast doubtful eyes on the middle-aged priest standing aside.

"Your Excellency, my father and I have given you all three gems that day."

The middle-aged priest stared at the boy's clear blue eyes for a long time, but he didn't answer, just lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

He looked very helpless, and that sigh seemed to be sighing for the boy's lies.

"Don't quibble! You bastard, you know that you will die if you expose your identity, yet you dare to talk about Your Excellency Pami indiscriminately!"

The commander of the city guard sternly reprimanded.

"Do you think that such a clumsy lie will be believed!"

Looking in astonishment at the Moon Priest who said nothing, Mia's heart skipped a beat.

In the next second, he immediately reacted.

gem!

Priest Pami wanted to steal the three priceless gems, so he—

Mia gritted her teeth.

Only he, the priest, and his father were present when the gem was given to the priest.

Compared with the respected Pami priest, his father's words obviously have no credibility.

Seeing that the young man remained silent for a long time, the commander of the city guard sternly reprimanded him again.

"Don't be stubborn! Someone saw you meeting the strange thief a few nights ago."

"At that exhibition, you also deliberately pretended to be caught by the strange thief and took it as his hostage so that he could escape successfully."

"Otherwise, why didn't the strange thief kidnap other people, but you, and you came back unscathed in the end?"

"I……"

Miya didn't know how to refute for a while.

Because it was indeed a fact that he met Hidir a few nights ago.

If anyone really saw this scene, it would be ironclad evidence that he was involved with the Phantom Thief.

He couldn't argue with a hundred words.

"Say! Where is the Phantom Thief now?"

The commander of the city guard walked up to Mia, stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, and looked down at him coldly.

The fingers were so hard that they pinched Mia's face with a dull pain.

"Or, do you want to try splints, racks, cauterization, and the like?"

He sneered.

"Boy, I'm afraid your small body can't bear any of them."

"........."

Mia stared at the other party without saying a word.

"Yo, that look is quite nice. What are you waiting for, your 'father' to save you?"

The city guard commander laughed mockingly.

"If you are really his son, maybe he is really willing to go bankrupt to save you, but it's a pity..."

He turned his head to signal, and the guard next to him immediately brought a dark-skinned slave over.

Mia recognized at a glance that this black-skinned slave was an attendant who often accompanied his father.

As soon as the dark-skinned slave came in, he lay down on the ground with his whole body cast down, and began to speak tremblingly.

"He, he is not my master's biological child, but the person my master rescued from the river not long ago."

"We don't know who he is, because my master has never had a child. Seeing that he lost his memory, we lied to him that he was my master's child."

"Besides me, there are two other slaves following the master who also know about this matter. The master ordered us not to tell this matter."

"I, I, I swear, by the gods, I never lied!"

The black-skinned slave's words made Mia's mind go blank for a moment.

impossible.

How can it be?

... Lied to him?

His father...and mother...all the so-called relatives lied to him?

He wasn't their child at all?

They've been lying to him since the beginning—?

"Did you hear that? You have nothing to do with them, so don't expect them to rescue you."

The commander of the city guard squeezed the young man's chin so hard that he could faintly hear the rattling of the bones.

The force made the young man show a painful look on his face.

"Say! Where is the Phantom Thief?"

The ruins of the temple buried deep underground suddenly appeared in Mia's mind in a trance.

If Hidir hasn't left yet, it should be in...

The boy looked up.

The azure blue eyes met the eyes of the commander of the city guard without blinking.

"I don't know, I didn't collude with the strange thief, and I didn't steal those three gems!"

He said, his eyes clear and his tone firm.

"It's a hard stubble."

The city guard commander shook his head regretfully.

"It seems that the opportunity that His Excellency Pami pleaded with the city lord for you can only be wasted."

He raised his hand and gently patted the boy's cheek.

"Little guy, if your fellow phantom thief is willing to come to rescue you and return the gem, maybe you can survive."

"If he doesn't come, you can only die there."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and signaled the guards to take the boy down.

"According to the usual practice of dealing with thieves, they were bound to the square for public display, and exposed to the sun to death."

Before being taken away, Mia raised her head and glanced coldly at Priest Pami who had been standing quietly aside.

The priest also looked at him deeply—to be exact, he looked into his eyes, with a look of regret in his eyes.

In the eyes of others, it was a pity that this gentle and benevolent priest did not want to go astray.

Mia was escorted by the guards to the execution square in the corner of Ponwe City.

It was a square in Ponwe City specially used to deal with prisoners and show them to the public. Rows of cross-shaped brackets were erected on the square.

The entire square was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, the uncorrupted hemp rope was dangling from the cross, and the stone slabs on the ground were dark brown formed by years of blood.

Two or three white bones were tied to the brackets. When the wind blew, the bones dangled in the air, as if they were about to fall, and were tied to the brackets again by hemp ropes.

Mia was dragged onto the square and tied to one of the cross-shaped supports.

A guard in charge of patrolling the square looked at Miya's young, childish face from a distance, showing a regretful expression.

Still a child, it is a pity that he will die at a young age.

Or die in such a painful way.

…………

"Do you think that boy can really hook the Thousand-Faced Thief?"

The slightly fat city lord asked with a frown.

"Also, is that kind of kid really an accomplice of the Phantom Thief?"

To be honest, he took a look at the young man from a distance, his slender appearance really didn't look like an accomplice of thieves.

It's quite cute, if it wasn't for the phantom thief, it would be nice to let that child serve him.

"I don't know, but he did stay with the strange thief for a day and a night, and then came back unscathed."

"Afterwards, the strange thief went to meet him specially."

"So, even if he's not an accomplice of the Phantom Thief, that Phantom Thief must have looked at him differently."

"Using him as a bait, there is a great possibility to hang out that mysterious thief."

The mayor nodded in satisfaction.

Because he offered a large amount of food and grass to the passing King David, this made the city lord, who had always only left but never entered, feel pain until now.

If he could catch the strange thief who was rumored to have stolen a lot of treasures, he would be able to take all those treasures for himself.

Moreover, it is said that several nobles and officials in the royal city were also stolen by the strange thief, who lost face and hated him deeply. As long as he catches the strange thief and sends them to those few to vent their hatred, he will surely get great rewards. benefit.

If their guess was wrong, the strange thief had nothing to do with the boy, and if he refused to show up, then he could only blame the boy himself for being unlucky.

Who let him be taken away by strange thieves?

Even by mistake.

But it's just a dead brat.

And the origin is still unknown, and no one knows when he died.

Not a big deal at all.

is not it?

…………

After returning from the City Lord's Mansion, Priest Pami nodded gently to everyone who greeted him as always.

He walked in the temple, not in a hurry, with a calm and elegant posture.

He always has a kind smile on his face, which makes people feel good at first glance.

He went back to his room and closed the door ajar.

He didn't close it because it was unnecessary, because it was almost evening prayer time, and he planned to change his coat and go directly to the sacrificial hall to pray.

Over the years, he has never missed a prayer ceremony every night.

Everyone in the temple knew that he was the most devout of all the priests in the temple.

His teachers also admired him greatly for his piety.

After changing his clothes, he turned around and wanted to leave the room, but stopped after taking a step.

take a look.

he thinks.

Just look at it.

He hesitated for a few seconds, but after all, he couldn't resist the desire rising in his heart and chose to comply with his own desire.

He walked to the table, unlocked it, and took out a box from it.

Opening the box, three beautiful gemstones shining with magnificent light were displayed in front of his eyes.

The flowing luster reflected on the face of the priest.

He let out a satisfied sigh, staring at the three radiant gemstones without blinking, eyes full of fascination.

So beautiful.

he thinks.

He wanted to just take a look at it, but he couldn't take his eyes off the gem for a long time.

The gem was so beautiful that it made him ecstatic.

Every year, every year, he could only watch those beautiful gems leave him.

They can never stay with him.

No one knew how much he longed to have all those gems belong to him.

Now, he finally has his own gemstone.

That's right, mine... you're all mine now...

He stroked the gemstone on the down cushion tenderly and affectionately, the cold and round touch made his heart tremble involuntarily.

In a trance, he suddenly remembered the boy's eyes again.

He thought, it would be great if the boy's eyes were also gems.

Such a beautiful aquamarine, it would be great if it could be dug out for collection.

"Pammy, I heard that the one who stole the gem... heck, the child was tied up and sent to the execution ground, heck, you go to ask the city lord for mercy, saying that our temple will not pursue it... the child is not guilty of death, take him away Come here, he is still young, as long as we teach him well..."

There was a murmur of coughing in front, but Pami couldn't hear it because he was indulging in the brilliance of the gem.

It wasn't until the last loud shout suddenly awakened Pami from his trance.

"Pammy! What's-cough-what's this?!"

As soon as the old priest with a sick face opened the door, he showed an expression of disbelief.

Those three gems are so dazzling that people can't even see them.

"This, cough, these gems, cough cough, didn't you say it was stolen—how could—"

The old priest hurried over and pushed Pami away who was stiff when he heard his voice.

He stared blankly at the three priceless gem ornaments in the box, and then looked back at the disciple with dull eyes. After all, he was old and had experienced many things, and he understood everything in the blink of an eye.

"You... oh, you are confused!"

The old priest's face was paler than before, and he looked at the disciple who made him proud in front of him with painful eyes, his eyes were full of disappointment.

"How could you do such a thing?"

Pami shuddered, lowered her knees, and suddenly knelt down.

"teacher."

He knelt down in front of the old priest, looking up at him with pleading eyes.

"This is the first time for me. It's the only time for so many years. I couldn't hold back for a moment-I will never do it again! Teacher, I swear, forgive me! Forgive me this time, okay?"

Seeing the pleading eyes of the disciple he had cultivated with all his efforts, the old priest softened his heart.

He was about to open his mouth to call the temple guards outside, but after hesitating for a while, he sighed.

He thought that Pammy was just confused this time.

"Forget it, let's say that the gem was secretly returned to the temple by the strange thief in order not to harm the innocent."

The old priest coughed and panted, "I'll take this to the city lord's mansion and save that innocent child..."

Pami knelt on the ground, watching the old priest's hand reaching for the box.

He watched helplessly as the old priest tried to close the box.

The seductive brilliance of the gem was about to disappear before his eyes.

These beautiful gems are no longer his right away—they were all his just a second ago—

Do not!

That's his!

No one is allowed to touch it!

At the moment when the old priest's hand was about to touch the jewel box, a surge of resentment burst out of his body and rushed straight to his brain.

Pammy stretched out her hand and pushed——
