Little Priest's Cat Diary

It was dark at night, and the duty room near the city gate was brightly lit.

The team of guards who were supposed to be guarding the gate gathered here tonight. They were full of delicacies and wines. They all ate and drank happily, and with the beauties in their arms, they had already thrown their responsibilities to the sky.

After all, Pangwei City is located in the middle of Portoyas, and it is impossible for foreign enemies to bypass the border to attack. It is also a superior location facing mountains on both sides and water on the other side, and has hardly experienced wars.

The biggest danger in Pangwei City is the scattered bandits who harass the caravan nearby, but no matter how courageous those bandits are, they will not attack the city insanely.

Therefore, almost no one cared about the job of guarding the city gate at night, and it was common for the guards on duty to be lazy or something.

Therefore, this night, even in the middle of the night, someone secretly opened the gate of the city, and no one cared about the guards who were eating, drinking, and playing with the beauties in the room.

The fat rich businessman stood in the attic of a restaurant near the city gate, looking at the quiet city gate through the window from time to time.

He waited fidgeting for a long time, and finally he was relieved when he saw a young man leading a young man riding a horse out of the city through the crack of the city gate.

After wandering around the room for a long time, he sat down, his chubby face covered with sweat.

He just sat there for a long time, staring blankly at the city gate standing quietly in the dark night, with a dejected expression on his face.

When he heard Priest Pami refused to admit that he took the three gems, he understood instantly.

He didn't try to argue with the priest, because he knew it would be useless.

Although he was rich, he was nothing compared to a high-ranking priest who was about to become the host of the temple.

He chose silence.

In the eyes of everyone, his silence was undoubtedly his choice to abandon the boy who was not his child at all.

So those noble adults didn't bother to embarrass him, and waved him away.

No one would have thought that it was this silent wealthy businessman who turned his head and secretly took out a large sum of money to bribe the guard general who was in charge of guarding the city tonight, asking him to open a small gate of the city tonight. night.

The expenses of the guards who are still enjoying themselves wantonly in the room at this moment are naturally also paid by him.

After seeing the strange thief take Isaiah away with his own eyes, the fat rich businessman's tense heart finally relaxed.

He sat in a daze, feeling lost in his heart.

Presumably Isaiah already knew that he was not his father and that he had deceived him, but he didn't know if the child would blame him...

After a long time, the fat rich businessman got up and left here in a daze.

When he left, the duty room next to the city gate still continued to hear the people inside shouting, persuading people to drink, and softly laughing.

When the rich merchant arrived home, the lights were still on in the hall, and his wife had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing him come back, the woman eagerly gave him a questioning look.

He nodded and whispered, "He's out of town."

The beautiful woman let out a long breath, and the circles of her eyes turned red immediately after.

"It's good to go, it's good to go."

She murmured, "As long as that child can live well, even if he blames me for deceiving him, I don't care."

Although she murmured in such a low voice, there was an unconcealable sense of loss and sadness on her face.

The thought of the child knowing that she was not his mother made her feel very uncomfortable.

The rich businessman sighed and stepped forward to hug his wife.

He said heavily, "We failed to protect him."

He never thought that the gentle and gentle Pami priest who had a great reputation in Ponwe City turned out to be such a person.

It was his ignorance that almost killed Isiah.

He hugged his wife, worried, always felt that he seemed to overlook something, and had a bad premonition.

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside.

The gate of the house was knocked open, and a group of guards rushed in, arresting the fat rich businessman involuntarily.

"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?"

"You colluded with thieves and robbed criminals in private."

The leading guard captain looked at him with a sneer.

"I've been staring at you all day."

The rich businessman was startled, and suddenly realized what he had overlooked.

Yes, he knew the true face of Priest Pami, how could that kind-hearted priest let him go.

I'm afraid that someone has been sent to watch him when he was moving up and down. No matter whether the strange thief will appear or save people, Priest Pami will find an excuse to get rid of him, so that he can be completely relieved.

The fat rich businessman looked blank, letting the guards clasp his arms tightly, and the moonlight fell on his pale face.

The night is dark.

The moonlight like silver gauze fell on this filthy city.

The night remained.

No one knew that under the high mountain in the south, the ancient temple was collapsing little by little.

Fiery red magma churned deep underground.

The trembling of the earth was inaudible, and no one noticed it.

And when that temple completely collapsed...

…………

On the mountainside in the north, the boy quietly looked down at the shimmering city below the mountain.

The night wind brushed over his pale golden hair, and the moonlight reflected his skin as pale as snow.

The night was quiet.

The earth is stable.

Some of the people in Pangwei City are still drunk and dreaming of death, and some have fallen asleep peacefully.

They indulged and fell asleep as usual.

They thought the morning of the second day would come as usual.

——However, they will never see the sunshine of the next day.

The moment the volcano erupted.

More than 3 Pangwe people will be swallowed by magma forever.

This thriving city will be buried deep underground.

Time will stand still at this moment forever.

It was not until thousands of years later that people of later generations discovered this ancient city that had almost disappeared in the river of history.

Pangwei ancient city.

The ancient city of Pangwe destroyed in the volcano.

Later generations called this forgotten city.

Seeing Mia standing there, staring blankly at the city below the mountain, Hidir thought Mia was just reluctant to leave his hometown.

He sighed and stroked the boy's head lightly.

"You must leave this city, Isiah."

The teenager stared at the city without blinking, and said, "...I have to go back."

"Listen, Isiah, you can't go back, the people in that city want you dead, do you understand?"

"...I have to go back."

Mia said, he turned his head and glanced at Shidir.

For some reason, that glance made what Sidir wanted to say choked in his throat.

Perhaps it was because the young man's eyes at this moment were too shocking.

Mia raised her hand and pointed to the south.

Far away from the mountain they were on, on the other side of the city, was the high mountain where the ancient temple was buried.

The high mountain stands quietly above the earth, standing in the night.

"fire……"

The volcano is going to erupt, the city is going to—

Suddenly, a tearing pain came in my head.

Mia's eyes darkened, and she knelt on the ground uncontrollably.

"Isaiah?"

He holds his head down.

The head is in severe pain.

He opened his mouth, but could not speak.

It was as if an invisible force was stopping him.

At this moment, countless images flashed through his mind one by one.

A flash of 'parents'...

deceive.

The slave kneeling on the ground in fear...

betray.

The city lord who regards human life as nothing...

arrogant.

The old man who wanted to help his disciple conceal his sins and ended up lying in a pool of blood...

lie.

The eager eyes of the middle-aged priest kept scanning the gem...

greedy.

On the battlefield where swords meet and fight to the death, crows' shrill neighing resounds through the earth covered with blood and dry bones...

tyrannical.

…………

………………

Human desires are endless.

When they greedily want to get more, the crime becomes bigger and bigger.

In the end, evil abounds on the earth.

The only way to end all evils is——

The boy knelt on the ground, accompanied by the invisible voice that suddenly sounded in the depths of his consciousness, as if something was disappearing in his mind little by little.

He pressed his head firmly, panting rapidly with his mouth open.

He tried his best to prevent the disappearance of those things in his mind, but it was useless, and he couldn't even remember what he wanted to say to Shidir just now.

Why did he go back to that city?

As those things disappeared, the pain in his head lessened a little bit.

He raised his hand and looked at his hands with a confused expression.

The skin of his hands is pale at the moment, almost translucent, and traces of light blue blood vessels can almost be seen faintly.

There was a deep bruise on the wrist, and the abrasions from the hemp rope had just scabbed with blood.

Obviously suffered a lot.

He clearly knew that he would die when he went back.

Why go back to that city?

What did I just... want to say?

... what did I... forget?

Did you forget something very important?

While the thoughts were turning, the head that had just been relieved suddenly started to writhe violently again.

The brain was overwhelmed, as if it was being torn apart alive, it could almost drive people crazy.

"Isaiah... Isaiah!"

Someone beside him hurriedly called his name.

Do not……

wrong……

It's not my name.

No.

…………

Human desires never end.

They don't deserve to be saved.

………………

wrong.

The boy held his head tightly.

He struggled but resolutely refuted the voice that echoed in the depths of his mind.

The voice that almost took away all his consciousness.

Desire does not equal sin.

Desires, hopes, they are also a desire.

…………

Have you forgotten what you suffered in that city?

Do you want to forgive sinners who hurt you?

Look, that city of lust and crime doesn't deserve to be forgiven.

This city should be destroyed.

It should disappear over the face of the earth along with all the sinners in the city.

…………

No.

I have not forgiven those who hurt me.

There may be countless sinners in that city, but there are also innocent people.

There are people who hurt me, but there are also people who protect me.

The boy who had been painfully closing his eyes opened them suddenly at this moment.

On his pale face, his eyes were amazingly bright.

Brighter than even the bright moon in the night sky.

"Do not."

"It doesn't matter how many sinners there are in that city."

he said firmly.

To that invisible voice.

To that invisible existence.

"As long as there is a person without sin there, it should not be destroyed!"

The boy's firm voice resounded in the night.

In the empty mountain, his voice seemed to be constantly echoing.

The night seemed silent for a moment.

Then, clack, clack.

A familiar, rhythmic footsteps sounded like music in the silent night.

A fiery red figure came in the moonlight.

The huge figure stretched out its limbs gracefully, showing a graceful posture that is indescribable in words while running.

It runs lightly among the mountains.

Every light leap is like a cluster of burning flames flying in the dark night.

pat.

pat.

The sound of snow-white four hooves stomping on the ground seemed to be a crisp music played under the moonlight.

The huge horn like a white jade branch reflects the moonlight and shines with a milky white luster.

When it runs lightly in the night, it leaves a streamer-like trace in the night.

In just the blink of an eye, the flaming giant deer had already arrived in front of Mia.

Its majestic body stands majestically in the night.

It stands quietly on the ground, beautiful and majestic.

A snow-white bow was held in its mouth, and under the moonlight, the brilliance flowed.

"This is... that moon god's bow?"

Kneeling half-kneeling on the ground, the red-haired Phantom Thief, who was still holding Mia's shoulders with both hands, stared in astonishment at the flaming giant deer that suddenly appeared in front of them.

He looked in shock at the white bow held in the giant deer's mouth.

How can it be?

That bow weighs hundreds of catties, how did the deer hold it up?

And can you run here from the bottom of the southernmost mountain with this bow in your mouth?

Hidir was stunned when he suddenly felt his hands loosen.

The boy stood up and walked in front of the big horned deer.

The big horned deer lowered its head.

It stood there, its dark eyes quietly looking down at the boy in front of it.

Its clear eyes reflected the figure of a young man.

It waited quietly, as if waiting for the boy to make his final decision.

Mia raised her head and looked at those bright black eyes for a while.

Then, he held out his hand.

His hand gently held the white bow held in the mouth of the big horned deer.

The moment his fingers touched the bow, a stream of light flashed across the bow——

Pfft!

His heart beat violently.

His pupils shrank violently for a moment.

The body that sank into the deep sea in the dark night...

The blood color in the eyes of the blond boy lying on the grass...

That figure standing proudly in the arena holding a spear...

The gold earrings hanging from the ears...

The moment he fell from the high cliff, that person's desperate eyes...

…………

Countless pictures that he had forgotten poured into his mind like a flood.

They came surging, like a stormy sea, fiercely washing away all his memories.

Mia parted her lips slightly and opened her eyes wide.

At this moment, he almost forgot to breathe.

The night was quiet for a long time.

After a long time, the stunned boy let out a breath slowly.

The big horned deer opened its mouth.

Mia held the bow, raised her hand and gently stroked the big horned deer's forehead.

The big-horned deer lowered its head, rubbed its soft nose against Mia's face, and let out a low cry.

Hidir had faintly realized something.

He stood behind and looked at the man and the deer.

He didn't ask anything, just looked at it.

The boy turned around and looked at Shidir.

The trees shook, and the shadows on the ground were mottled.

The night wind whistled past, rustling the swaying dense canopy.

A boy holding a white bow stood under the night sky.

Behind him is a bright full moon.

A ray of moonlight didn't know whether it fell on his body or on the white bow in his hand.

The pale golden hair that seemed to be dotted with fine moonlight was flying in the night sky.

The azure blue eyes are clearer and brighter than all gemstones in the world.

The boy's crooked eyes and crooked smiling eyes are the same as they were five years ago.

He said, "Mr. Thief, long time no see."
