Little Priest's Cat Diary

There was obvious provocation in the words of the red-haired strange thief, and even the eyes that glanced at Sardis were mocking with a half-smile.

If it were Prince Sardis five years ago, he would definitely be unhappy, and it would show on his face unabashedly.

But the current Emperor Sardis is still just staring at Hidir who appeared from the shadows. Although he is still very young, he is already a bit more mature than five years ago, and there is no trace of joy or anger on his face.

Years of endless battles have made him taller and fitter than five years ago, and the exposed muscle lines are as tight as sculptures.

With sword eyebrows drawn into the temples and a straight nose bridge, although the face is extremely handsome, but the long eyes are full of power, even if he just stands there calmly, it will give people a great sense of oppression invisibly.

Sardis stepped forward calmly and poured himself a glass of water.

After taking a sip of water, he spoke.

"It seems that it is said that the thousand-faced ghost thief was caught in a certain theft, so the rumors that he disappeared in recent years are not credible."

Shidir stared.

He carefully looked at the young emperor who had established an immortal reputation on that land again.

After five years, some things may not have changed at all, or a lot may have changed.

For example, people's hearts.

The toughest thing in the world is the human heart.

But the most fickle thing is the human heart.

Although he had known the emperor a long time ago, the relationship between them was not good, and they were barely related purely by ties.

And now...

Sidir exhaled lightly, his eyes covered with loose fiery red hair.

He took the risk to sneak in there because there was a very important thing.

No matter how unwilling he is, only the person in front of him can help with that matter.

"I have something very important, please do me a favor, Your Majesty."

"..."

Sardis held the empty water glass in his hand.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Sidir standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes showed no emotion.

"Over the past few years, in order to find something, I explored the ruins, and the clues I finally got pointed there."

Shidir raised his hand and pointed north.

"The Hitaya clan."

"There's something in this tribe that I've been looking for for five years," he said.

Sardis smiled.

"What? You want to steal the treasure from that tribe?"

"Yes." Hidir said, "All the clues I have found tell me that there is the treasure I want to find."

His eyes flicked across Sardis's face, and a glimmer of unknown meaning flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He whispered: "I have been looking for a long time... a unique... rare treasure in the world."

Maybe it was because of the shadow of the backlight, or maybe the fiery red hair covered the eyes of the thief, but Sardis didn't notice the strange look in the eyes of the thief.

He just paused for a moment when he heard the phrase 'a unique and rare treasure in the world' from Sidir.

In the next second, he closed his eyes, covering up the sudden emotion in his eyes.

"what do you want?"

he asks,

"If you want me to let that tribe go, it's impossible."

He will not spare every inch of that land.

Even if it is a remote and tiny place, he must hold it in his hands.

He will not let go of the slightest possibility.

Shidir chuckled.

"I feel that I don't have the ability to make Emperor Sardis give up conquering a piece of land for me."

He says,

"Ten days... No, give me six days. I will go to Hitaya Forest in those six days to find what I want."

Sardis looked at him and didn't answer right away, but Hidir continued with a smile.

"Your Majesty, your army has been fighting all the way, and it's time for them to rest for a few days."

Shidir's voice was as always a little demagogic.

"What's more, maybe in the next few days, I can persuade the Hittaya people to give up their resistance and directly welcome you into it."

"It must be a good thing for you to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, isn't it?"

The red-haired phantom thief wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Sardis before he could speak.

"Okay, let's go."

Sardis was noncommittal about Shidir's words.

But his words were considered to have agreed to Xidir's request.

After understanding the meaning of Sardis' words, Sidir was taken aback.

Before he came, he had made a lot of preparations, but he didn't expect to achieve his goal so easily.

He was a little puzzled.

After all, neither the prince five years ago nor the current emperor should be easy to talk to.

It's so refreshing this time?

Puzzled and puzzled, but the goal has been achieved, he will not be long-winded.

Turning around, the figure of the red-haired strange thief instantly disappeared into the shadow outside the floor-to-ceiling window and disappeared without a trace.

At the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was only a thin veil still dancing under the night wind, as if no one had ever appeared there.

Sardis didn't even look at the window.

Even if he didn't look at it, he could still feel that Sidir had left this place quickly.

He sat quietly on the chair, turning the empty water glass in his hand.

The shadow of the slender eyelashes fell on his strange eyes, making his eyes slightly darker.

The reason why he agreed to Xidir was not persuaded by Xidir's rhetoric.

Purely because it doesn't matter.

Anyway, he didn't have any reason to rush to attack the Hittayas, and the army had fought all the way, so they really needed to calm down the tense soldiers.

and……

The red-haired phantom thief has been growing up with Mia for more than ten years.

It was part of his cherished memory.

That long, yet extremely short, memory he kept cherishing during those five years.

After a long time, Sardis turned his head and his eyes fell on the side mirror.

The firelight in the room reflected his face in the mirror.

It was a face with impeccably exquisite eyebrows, but the invisible sharpness and awe-inspiring aura between the brows left an impression far more than the beauty of the face.

The pupils of different colors revealed a captivating gaze.

Sardis raised his hand and gently pressed on the thin scar under the black eyes.

When he was young, he wore a mask on one side. At first, maybe it was just because Mia said it was good-looking, to cover up the scars, but later he wanted to use it to remind himself all the time, to suppress his dark side in front of Mia. one side.

So, that pitch-black metal mask was on his face for a long time.

…………

The red-haired phantom thief was right, he hadn't put on that mask for a long, long time.

since that day.

…………

........................

After getting the promise from Sardis, Xidir didn't dare to delay for a quarter of an hour. He rode his horse and galloped across the prairie, rushing to Hitaya Forest against the clock.

After spending a whole day and night, he finally came to the edge of the big forest.

Although it was already late at night when he came to the big forest, he walked into the forest immediately after resting for a while and regaining his energy.

The inside of the forest is much darker than the outside, and the bright moonlight is blocked by the dense canopy.

It was an extremely ancient forest, most of which were towering trees that were hundreds or even hundreds of years old.

The lush canopy intertwined and shaded the sky.

In the forest, the roots of the trees are intertwined, and the vines are everywhere. At a glance, there are similar scenery everywhere, making it difficult to distinguish the north, south, east, and west.

In the darkness, Hidir held a torch and proceeded cautiously in the forest.

In such a huge forest, most people would get lost when they entered it, but it was not even a problem for him who traveled around and explored the ruins all year round.

As he walked, he began to think.

Five years ago, the news that Shao Ji was assassinated by a rebel female Shah shocked the whole country.

Of course he heard it too.

After rushing back to Portoyas King City, he confirmed the news from Faer, whose eyes were already dull.

At that time, he was also sad for a long time.

It stands to reason that in the public at that time, many people saw the Shaoji's throat slit by the female Shah and died on the spot.

This cannot be faked.

But one night, looking at the full moon in the night sky, Shidir suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He inexplicably remembered the strange scene of Isaiah walking towards the moon on the edge of the cliff that night.

And... the legend about the moon god Davia that the former high priest once told him.

Shidir has always trusted his intuition.

And his intuition was telling him that maybe that wasn't the end of it.

And Isiah... maybe...

Holding an idea that he himself found unbelievable, he returned to the city that was engulfed and buried by the erupting volcano.

He found a narrow gap from the collapsed mountain, and found the underground temple that had been completely destroyed again.

There, he found clues to some ancient legends.

In the following five years, he has been looking for ancient ruins related to the moon god in various places.

By piecing together the clues he found, he gradually learned about the ancient legend that was hidden by all human beings.

In that ancient era, the legend of the human beings who were almost destroyed by the gods, and the son of god who saved the human beings.

Ultimately, all the clues lead there.

Cursed Seas.

Thousands of years ago, the place where the Son of God who brought "hope" to mankind was killed by mankind.

It is said that the ancestors of the Hitaya who stood beside the sea of ​​curses made a vow with the moon god Davia there.

[After a thousand years, hope will return again. 】

There is a fog in front of me, which makes people confused.

But maybe in this forest, he can find the answer he has been looking for for five years.

For this reason, Hidir even went to meet the person he disliked the most.

——Before he came, he never thought that that person led an army to come here.

Sidir wondered how he would talk to the Dashitaya after they fell.

After all, what he wanted to ask could be said to be a secret passed down from the Hittaya people's ancestors, and it was impossible to tell him that outsider easily.

So, what can be done to...

He was thinking about it when suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the air.

The fierce murderous intent came oncoming.

Xidir pulled out his dagger almost the moment he felt the murderous aura.

With a clang, the blade of the sword knocked away the sharp arrow that was shooting towards him.

Immediately afterwards, there were three more buzzing sounds.

Hidir threw away the torch, and while deftly sideways avoiding an arrow, he held a dagger in both hands and flew up and down, knocking the other two sharp arrows into the air.

The moment he shot the last arrow, dozens of figures appeared around him, surrounding him.

The dozens of figures were either near or far away, either squatting on the trees, or facing him, or hiding behind the trees behind him.

Dozens of arrow tips glowed with cold metallic luster in the firelight, aiming at him alone.

Well, it seems that he doesn't need to bother to find the tribe of the Hitaya.

The red-haired phantom thief who was pointed at by dozens of sharp arrows thought so, dropped the dagger without hesitation, and raised his hands high.

…………

........................

Shidir came at an unfortunate time.

In the past, although the Hitaya people would send people to patrol the forest on a regular basis, they were not too strict. At most, they just warned and drove off the intruders.

However, due to the imminent attack of the Portoyas Empire, the Hitayas are already on the alert, and everyone is tense. This is the time when their vigilance is the strongest.

Hidir was born to break into the forest at that time, and he has obvious traces of the Portoyas in both his clothing and appearance.

As a result, he was naturally regarded as an invading enemy by the Hitaya people who were guarding the outskirts of the forest, and they arrested him unceremoniously.

To Shidir's dismay, although the Hitayas brought him to the tribe, they threw him directly into the tree prison without any intention of talking to him.

He tried many times to talk to his guards, and wanted to talk to important people from the Hitaya family.

But no matter how eloquent he was, the guard just ignored him.

no way.

Shidir thought helplessly.

It seems that he can only go back to his old profession.

In the middle of the night, near the dungeon, the two guards who had just shifted suddenly smelled a vague fragrance of flowers.

They sniffed subconsciously, and when they were about to distinguish carefully, their eyes suddenly went dark and they fell to the ground.

With a bang, the door of the tree prison was slowly pushed open.

The red-haired phantom thief who opened the heavy lock on the door with a few casual fiddles walked out of the prison easily.

Soon, Sidir's figure disappeared into the night.

Taking advantage of the silence of the night, the red-haired phantom thief quietly sneaked into the center of that strange forest town, the temple surrounded by three towering giant trees.

After sneaking in, he saw the countless stone pillars erected in the main hall, and the ancient characters engraved on the stone pillars.

He has seen those ancient characters one after another in the ancient ruins he explored.

Especially the majestic giant stone pillar in the middle of the main hall, and the familiar mural of the moon god on it made his heart shudder.

Sidir thought, it seems that he found the right place.

The tribe that is said to have made a contract with the moon god in ancient times will definitely be able to unravel the fog in his heart.

With that in mind, he went up to the second floor.

On the second floor, a light was on in a room.

He thought for a while, and sneaked into the room without a sound.

Those who can stay in the temple so late must be those who serve the priests.

He planned to intimidate and lure him, and get some information from that person. Of course, it would be even better if he could directly know the location of the priest.

Shidir's steps were light.

But the people in the room seemed to have extremely sensitive senses, and they reacted almost the moment Hidir entered the room, and turned around suddenly.

Shidir was taken aback.

Standing in front of him was a black-haired boy.

The fire light reflected on the boy's face, reflecting the light.

A silver-white mask completely covered the boy's face without leaving a single gap.
