Although the little Vivian who was responsible for cooking came back, Iver still had the sense to carry the birdcage and go home.

Since teacher Meiya said that she usually cooks, then Iver just believes it... but there is no need to argue with her. Otherwise, it would be rude if Meiya became angry.

However, because Iver's own dormitory was still under repair, he took the book directly back to the Silver and Tin Palace.

Although things like Grimoire are very dangerous, in principle, just like firearms, daggers and other weapons, they cannot be brought into the Silver and Tin Palace. But now Iver's identity is different from the past. After explaining clearly, he still brought the book in.

There are no classes this afternoon anyway, and the original Elven Language course was completed last week.

So Iver found some snacks to fill his stomach, and started to read the book "Morning Crow Grimoire" with great interest.

Maybe it's because of the birdcage, or maybe it's because its recognition of Iver is high enough... Or maybe it's just pretending to be dead and preparing to escape. In short, when Iver was reading this book, it did not turn into a crow flying around, but kept the appearance of a book very obediently.

As Iver read through it intently, Lily suddenly smelled a strange smell.

It smelled like burning wood, and like something was burnt.

After looking carefully, I realized that smoke was coming from Iver's head.

This shocked Lily. She walked closer uneasily and realized that Iver was fine.

He was like a smoldering torch, with a large amount of white smoke visible to the naked eye coming out of the gaps in his hair. His body was radiating heat. Lily just walked about two meters away from him, and he was already burning hot from the sun.

It was as if he were leaning in front of a fireplace, being roasted by the fire and unable to open his eyes.

... but on the other hand, this is quite warm.

"What's the matter?"

I asked casually while flipping through Grimoire and Iver.

"... Huh?"

Lily was a little surprised. "Can you speak?"

"I'm more or less Third Level, and my willpower is pretty good."

Iver replied without raising his head, "Of course, it's possible that he hasn't seen the key plot yet. It's also possible that he will fall into a hallucination after a while."

"... Then, I will prepare some drinking water for you first. Remember to drink it if you are thirsty."

Lily poured a glass of honey water and placed it behind Iver.

For some reason, she felt so sleepy... Maybe it was because the advancement ceremony last night took a lot of energy from her, or maybe it was because she talked to Isabel very late last night and basically didn't get enough sleep.

It's also possible that the steaming heat from Iver made her feel sleepy.

So, enveloped by the billowing heat emanating from Iver, Lily curled up into a ball and fell asleep on the small bed next to the desk.

Iver raised his head and glanced slightly sideways. I found that Lily fell asleep almost instantly - for a personal maid who basically did not sleep peacefully, Lily fell asleep surprisingly quickly and deeply.

——According to her Path of Adaptation's sensing ability, when Lily is asleep and Iver just stares at her for a while, Lily will open his eyes on his own and ask Iver what's the matter.

Perhaps it was the effect of "Silken Grimoire" that turned her into a spider on the web.

She is even so keen that she can sense other people's gazes in her sleep! Lily can even vaguely feel who the person is looking at him and the other person's emotions at the moment.

Now, Lily has advanced again on Path of Love. Logically speaking, her perception ability should be stronger... But at this moment, Lily's perception ability seems to be confused, and she has no reaction at all to Iver's gaze.

... Is this the power of "Morning Crow Grimoire"? Iver looked thoughtful and turned back to continue reading.

"Morning Crow Grimoire" tells the secrets related to "Dawn Angel" of Dedication Path - the secrets about the sun of this world. This book mentions the ownership of the sun and the rituals used by ancient people to worship the real sun.

——This book mentions the legend about the sun.

"Morning Crow Grimoire" believes that there are three suns in this world. The first sun had fallen before life was born and would no longer rise; Second Sun was killed and shattered by sacrifices and words, turning into stars in the silent night; and the third sun was born from a Three-Legged Crow crow, the child of Constant Self and Constant Self.

Constant Self is usually a lonely and beautiful goddess, but occasionally she transforms into a man during a lunar eclipse.

In an era when only the moon hung permanently high in the sky, a lunar eclipse symbolized complete darkness. And Constant Self saw his past and future selves in the mirror-like night sky. He fell in love with himself and eventually gave birth to "Chenwu".

Under Hourglass's persuasion, Chenwu ignited himself and transformed into Third Sun.

At this point the sun and moon begin to rotate. Day and night rotate like an hourglass and time begins to pass.

Since the birth of the sun, light has shone on the earth. Constant Self The pure and flawless darkness can no longer be seen. She could no longer see her lover, the other side of herself. Therefore, she dances in the moon's house forever sadly, never meeting the sun that her son transformed into.

His merits of burning himself into the sun made Him Dawn Angel. He did not enter Dream Realm... or, in other words, He also ignited himself in the Dream Realm. Dawn Angel, burning in two worlds at the same time, has reached a balance of power, spinning eternally like an hourglass.

So far, Material Realm's Chenwu is still sleeping in the center of the sun, and his body is still burning, emitting nearly eternal light and heat, providing a steady stream of vitality to the entire world.

And sometimes, He would occasionally dream. In the dream, He will transform into Three-Legged Crow and fly at the Material Realm. Wherever He passed, the moon would not come, and the eternal sunlight would be extremely strong, eventually leading to severe drought. At this time, a warrior will shoot Three-Legged Crow - after it is shot down, the sun and moon in this area will rotate again.

Iver I don't know whether the content recorded in this book is true or false.

——But there is no doubt that what is described is the disaster caused by the arrival of Greater Phantom Demon.

Just like Shadow Angel turned Avalon into Shadow Domain, which cannot grow plants and turns into undead when mortals die, this kind of domain effect that can change the world just by being born is exactly the authority held by Tiansi.

... In other words, "Chenwu" will occasionally come by itself without being pulled down by Ouroboros Ring Ritual?

An unstable Tiansi...

Iver sighed.

When he read two-thirds of the book, he suddenly began to have vague hallucinations in front of his eyes - a brief hallucination of Three-Legged Crow, emitting golden-red brilliance, flying across the sky.

It is not a real sun, but it envelopes the earth with sun-like heat and radiates heat.

The next moment, Iver saw it gradually flying towards him... getting closer and closer...

When the sun hit Iver like a burning meteorite, Iver suddenly screamed, his skin and flesh cracked, and golden-red flames suddenly burned from his body!
