"Caw!"
Before Jasmine and Isaac could even get close to the alchemy room, the distinctive smell of sulfur and herbs was already faintly lingering in the air. Following that, they heard the clear cawing of a crow.
A crow, almost blending in with the dark night, glided down from the roof in the distance. Its shiny black feathers brushed past the moonlight, and it landed in front of Jasmine, cawing twice, its small head tilted to one side as it looked at her.
"Is it welcoming me?" This was the crow raised by Alchemist Percival Devin. Normally, it would be used to deliver messages; this was not the first time Jasmine had interacted with it.
This crow was very intelligent and even knew how to recognize people; it never attacked the territory's citizens. Jasmine still quite liked this bird that understood human nature.
