"It's... What's going on?"

"Oh my God, what did I see?"

It was the first time that the members of the bounty hunter's team had encountered such a strange thing, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

The flaminbird's wings swayed slightly wrapped in yellow, red, and blue flames, and the life of the fire was revived from the ashes, and the blazing waves of air blew away the burned charcoal around it and spiraled upwards into the air.

"Reborn from the fire! Nirvana of the Immortal Bird!" the well-informed bearded man recognized the appearance of the firebird.

"Immortal birds... Could it be that one of them has come back from the dead... How is this possible..."

Monica's face was flushed with the firelight, and she stared blankly at the giant bird that swirled in flames, letting her hair fly into the night, yes, expecting an impossible miracle.

The firebird finally stretched its slender wings, its eyes spewed flames, its proud head raised high as if it was looking up to the sky and singing, but it did not make a sound, and it actually had a different kind of beauty under the stars.

The Firebird's eyes swept over the crowd in front of him, and no one knew what this spirit creature was thinking.

Suddenly, the firebird tried its best to flap its two huge flame wings around its body, and even its own head shrank under the wings.

"What is it going to do?" asked the cook.

"I don't know, but I think something incredible might happen next, and we'll see. Although Scar was relaxed, he still put his hand on the boning knife, ready to prevent accidents.

The Firebird's wings enveloped almost his entire body, and he looked more like a huge fireball burning above the ruins, wisps of fly ash and flames around the fireball like ribbons.

The next moment, the fireball seemed to transform into some kind of animal's egg, and many sinuous black lines appeared on the flame-dense exterior.

A "click" sound sounded from the fireball, and then the shell of the fireball began to crumble and peel off as everyone watched in amazement.

The raging flames lit up the night again, and a black figure slowly came out of the flames, he looked extremely weak and naked.

At first they were frightened, and then their expressions changed to ecstatic.

"Xiao Yi! It's Xiao Yi! He's still alive!"

The members of the Bounty Hunter Squad finally saw the boy coming out of the flames, the face they knew all too well.

Regardless of the injuries on his body, everyone stumbled towards Xiao Yi, and they no longer allowed this child to leave this big family easily.

Without waiting for the excited hugs from his partners, Xiao Yi staggered and fell to the ground after walking out of the flames, losing consciousness.

The weather in the area where Snowfog Town is located is not only complex and changeable, but also harsh, and after a sandstorm that obscures the sky, snowflakes have fallen in this barren land, and heavy snow has fallen overnight, burying the traces of life.

In the wee hours of the morning, still under the cover of twilight, the Frankie Carriage Hotel was lit up like beans.

"I said, dead cook, hasn't your black chicken soup been stewed yet?" The bearded man's mental state has recovered much better than yesterday, "Xiao Yi will wake up in a while, and he should be hungry!"

"Got it, it's like urging my life, Lao Tzu is preparing the flavor that Xiao Yi likes, you know a fart!"

Monica gently pushed open the kitchen door, and a smell of aroma came to her nose, and you could see that the cook had put a lot of thought into this meal.

Today, Monica is still wearing a red dress, and she makes a silent gesture to the noisy two.

"You two be quiet, don't wake up the guests up there. With that, Monica looked up at Max and Clindo's room.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, those two guys slept very hard, and thunder couldn't wake them up. ”

"Bearded man, cook, you two hurry up and rest for a while, I have a hunch that the next road will not be so easy. ”

"Got it, big sister. ”

When Monica walked up to the second floor with chicken soup, Max and Clindo's door was still closed, but there was no sound inside.

After walking past their room, Monica turned back and finally stopped in front of Max's room.

"Squeak", Monica suspiciously pushed open the door of the guest room, and as expected, the room was almost spotlessly cleaned, and the sheets were neat and tidy, but there was no guest who was supposed to sleep in the bed.

By some point, Max and Clindo had already left, not even attracting anyone's attention.

Monica recalls a conversation she had with Max here a few hours ago:

"Why do you want to help us?" asked Magus, who helped the bounty hunters regain most of their strength, remained skeptical.

"It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy, isn't it?" said Max, smiling at the corner of his mouth.

"Did someone deliberately direct all this?" Monica's thoughts were a little crazy.

"Well, you might need to ask your employer," Max said, staring at the gray buildings in the back window of the hotel, "but I don't recommend it. ”

"Why?"

"Until we get to the bottom of the facts, all recklessness is tantamount to scaring the snake, and since the other party is hiding in the shadows and thinks he is in control, then what we need to do is to be surprised," Max smiled, "creating our own rules." ”

"Did you answer my question in disguise?"

"If you will, you can understand it this way. ”

Monica felt a hint of coldness in the young man's warm face, and the depth of the young man's mind made even a veteran bounty hunter a little puzzled.

On a square table in the corner of the room were two identical silver coins, one of which was facing upwards, the first king of the Josesian Empire, and the other with the imperial shield facing upwards, which did not belong to this room, and were clearly left by Max before leaving.

Monica looked at the two coins with a frown for a moment, still unable to figure out what Mark meant, and finally she put away the coins and left the room.

When Monica arrives at Yi's room with chicken soup, he is already awake, and Scar is stretching his muscles.

"Big sister. Xiao Yi called softly.

Monica came to Xiao Yi and looked at the poor child with a distressed expression.

"Xiao Yi, tell the eldest sister, what happened, we have confirmed that there are no life fluctuations on your body, why can you be resurrected in the fire?"

"I saw a big bird in my dream, it was burning all over my body, I felt so hot as if it had been thrown into the magma, and then I woke up," Xiao Yi recounted as he recalled, "I saw everyone outside of the fire, and I also remembered everything before I died, and I didn't want to die yet, so I ran out of the fire around the firebird desperately." ”

"Eldest sister, Xiao Yi's body is still a little hot now. Scar said.

"Okay, Xiao Yi, no matter what unspeakable things happen to you, eldest sister, it's a blessing to be alive. Monica shook Xiao Yi's hand.

"Hmm. Xiao Yi nodded heavily.

Tasting the chicken soup that the eldest sister fed into her mouth one bite at a time, Xiao Yi's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"It's good to see everyone again. ”

"Stinky boy, next time if you don't listen to me, I won't take you out on a mission. Scar had a serious expression.

"Boss Frankie said, don't let me mess with you. ”

"You stinky boy!" Scar was so angry that his mouth crooked.

Xiao Yi smiled brightly, like the gradually whitening sky outside the window, bringing hope to the people of this world again.

Monica looked at the frolicking two people and had an indescribable feeling in her heart, a little sad but a little more indifferent.

Pinching the new silver pistol in the holster, Monica finally didn't ask Xiao Yi about the origin of the pistol, because she had roughly guessed its owner.

Familiarity with the firing principle and construction of firearms is a must for bounty hunters, this new silver pistol Monica knows, "Silver Fox" is its name, the Imperial Royal Family rewarded the Imperial Minister of Commerce Warren Garcia with a matching gun, so it is inferred that the hooded boy who holds it must be Warrende's son, known as the "genius boy" Max Garcia.

At this point, some doubts in Monica's heart were solved.

"Big sister, big sister?" Scar's voice interrupted Monica's thoughts.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you think Xiao Yi is a stranger?"

"Adept?" Monica looked at Xiao Yi with a confused expression, obviously he didn't know the meaning of "Adept?" ”

"Then Xiao Yi can go to school at the famous Imperial Military Academy?" Scar's eyes lit up.

"The ability to be reborn from the fire," Monica's face climbed with a hint of joy, "After returning to the imperial capital, you can go and inquire about this news, maybe Xiao Yi is really a stranger! If you can really enter the Imperial Military Academy, it is much better than being a bounty hunter!"

As she spoke, the smile on Monica's face deepened.

Ability, ability...

Suddenly, Monica seemed to remember the rumor about the Anomalous Person, and connected to the obscure clue left by Max, a terrible but true thought came to her, and her smile instantly froze on her face.

"Everything you have experienced is for that..."Monica's gaze fell on Xiao Yi's smiling face, but it was cold and unusually cold at this time.

"No, it won't—" Monica felt like the world was spinning.

The dawn of the beginning of the morning pierced the sky, and the desert outside Snow Mist Town was already covered in silver, and there was no end in sight to the white expanse in the distance.

After watching Xiao Yi fall asleep peacefully, Monica dragged her tired body to the window, and after wiping the mist off the glass, Monica saw the scene outside the window clearly, the dazzling white made people dizzy, just like the chaotic thoughts.

Looking back at the front, two rows of fresh ruts at the entrance to the stables stretched out of the inn fence in the direction of Snowmisty Town.

"Did you go to that place after all," Monica sighed softly, "good luck to you." ”
