They saw something black. One of the soldiers tightened their grip around their spear.

Caw, caw.
Caw, caw.

�Where did these crows suddenly come from?�
�Ah, I was shocked because I saw something black.�

A few crows who suddenly appeared in the clear sky circled the soldiers� heads. One or two landed on the stone wall at the edge of the alley while the other few started to fly in different directions.

A soldier who watched one of the crows on the wall clean itself snorted before releasing his grip on his spear.

�I guess there�s some rotten food in that alley.�
�Must be. There�s probably a dead animal or something. Last time it was eagles, now it is crows.�
�But aren�t crows better than eagles?�

�That is true.�
�Ahem, hem! Everybody, focus!�

The chatting soldiers shut up and stood up straight after hearing the veteran start to speak.

�There will be a luxurious feast today for the esteemed guests of the Lord-nim! It�ll be chaotic until night time, so everybody needs to focus!�
�Yes, sir!�
�Yes, captain!�

The ten soldiers quickly headed toward the Lord�s Castle.

Caw. Caw.

The crow on the wall cawed as it watched them before one of the crows that flew away returned and descended into the alley.

In a shaded part of the alley� The crow landed on the crouching person�s shoulder.

�Cale-nim.�

A familiar voice instead of a caw came out of the crow�s mouth. Cale started to smile and his gaze headed toward the crow on his shoulder.

�I met with Raon-nim.�
�Gashan, it�s been a while.�

The Tiger shaman Gashan�s crows had flown into the territory and finally reached Cale.

�I heard about the Illusionist.�

A breeze brushed past Cale�s cheek as he was listening to the imposing old man�s voice. Cale tightly grabbed the golden top�s whip.

�Based on what I saw through the crows, it is indeed an illusion.�
�How do we break the illusion?� JrNovels.com
