They are called "Paladins". Youma, who were artificially implanted with crystal implants that were found by birds in a mountain nearby. It is worth noting that, unlike other animals, Eternity did not create birds, since she considered flight to be her specialty and did not want to share it with others. They were made by the Yoma themselves. Basically, only for security development purposes. Naturally, Lux immediately invited the creators of this to his city. Having given them the best conditions and all kinds of privileges, Lux received in return everything that he lacked. It is worth understanding that the city that was called Daimei and is now called the Lux project is not at all the cities that we are used to. Youma use this word to mean something large, but not huge at all. We people would call Daimei a village, but not a city. It's the same with Lux's project.
-I can't believe that he died.
-Yes...we've been spending a lot of Yom lately. How many paladins fell? Four?
-Five, along with the last one.
-About this... is there any news on our monster?
-She fled to the northern forests and has been hiding there for four days. The bird keepers are looking for her, but to no avail.
"Where did she even come from?" Heavy sigh.
"I think I know who will help us." After thinking, the interlocutor answered.
Half an hour after this dialogue between Lux and his right hand, a girl was brought into the city.
-Where did you find her? -Before meeting her, Lux tried to find out at least something.
-She survived an attack on... whatever this village was called... Taka... Tama... In general, she saw our monster and, I hope, knows at least something about him.
"Hello." Lux smiled, coming out to the newcomer.
The girl is clearly skeptical. Eyes narrowed, lips compressed, teeth clenched.
"Let's get straight to the point," the man said, sitting opposite him. "What do you know about the monster?"
The girl was silent.
"Daku, we want to help." Lux said calmly. "We have a common goal."
"Jackals have more respect for others than you," the girl snorted.
Lux raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
"Where were your "paladins" when she attacked Takasaki?" Daku asked. "Since you have scavengers everywhere, why didn't you send anyone to us?" the girl snorted.
-We...
Daku crashed on the table made of expensive wood.
"They abandoned us, and now you want to use us?" Daku stood up from the table. "Good luck dealing with the "monster."
"And where are you going?!" Lux burst out.
"It's better to live in the mountains, in cold and hunger, to seek peace of mind, than in warmth and "comfort" with creatures like you!" Daku shouted back, leaving the room.
Sighing heavily, Lux asked his assistant:
- Well, really at the poultry houses?
-We interviewed everyone, they claim that they were not around during the attack on Takasaki.
-But this is absurd! We have more than a hundred birds in the western part of the forest alone! Interview everyone again," the man ordered.
"It will be done." The girl nodded and left.
