Scepter of Thorns

Selu suddenly shuddered.

At this time, she was walking through the intricate dungeon with the Reticent, and a few minutes later, they came to an interface teleportation array under the control of Lilith.

"Excuse me, I can only send you here." The silent man lowered the brim of his hat, "The situation in the human world has changed, please be careful."

Seru didn't hear what he was talking about, she put her hand into her pocket, trying to hold the stone tightly out of habit.

Then, her hands froze.

"Stone..." Seru moved her lips and murmured in an inaudible voice, "Huh?"

"What?" The Reticent asked politely, "Is there something missing? I can go to the Demon Realm to get it for you."

"No." Selu shook her head quickly, and declined politely, "It's not important."

She knew that this thing might not be found, because the stone was placed in the interlayer of the pocket, and it would never fall out unless she deliberately fumbled for it.She didn't notice that such a personal thing was stolen, which can only show that the other party has a clear goal and a very high number of stages.

Why would she go out of her way to steal a stone that she didn't even know was useful?

"Okay." The silent man said, "Goodbye."

"... goodbye."

At that moment, Seru asked the person in the illusion, "Should I pursue the matter of the stone?"

"Forget it." Heselu thought, "That man came prepared. Not only did he know the time and place of the secret meeting of the Countess, but he even knew exactly what stone we had. This is enough to show that he is terrible. Anyway, this The stone is useless to us, and it would be bad to pursue the history of being asked, after all, we didn't get it by bright means."

"……it is good."

skyline.

Kairos opened the door of illusion, and the light slowly penetrated into the darkness.The dead bush lies like a rotting corpse in the environment, and the imprisoned person is nowhere to be seen.

He held his forehead and smiled softly.

I knew it would happen sooner or later, that person was cunning and scheming, but I was soft-hearted again and again.Knowing that Edward has no such thing as emotion at all, even if he had, it would be used as a resource, but he was only shaken, and his heart stopped for a second——

Because of the phrase "I love you."

I love you, but you tore my fiery heart apart again and again, and pierced my chest with a sharp sword again and again.I'm always hesitant to kill you for good, but I stop because I've lost you.

The illusion began to shatter and crumble.Kylos went straight through the interfaces and stepped into the Ruins of Eternity.The scarlet clock rotated, and the dark mist condensed and rose from the midpoint of the clock, gradually covering the space.

"I lost control for a moment. At this time, the illusion is the most vulnerable. But I have accurately calculated Edward's magic level. Even if he uses the strongest magic to attack the weakest illusion, the possibility of escape is absolutely zero. So it is You can play tricks in it, think about it, only you have the ability to break the illusion I set up." Kaier Luosi asked unhurriedly, the needle sword gradually showed signs, and gradually moved forward with his steps.

The dark mist seemed to be alive, and suddenly hit Kaierros.The needle sword broke through the layers of fog, and nailed hard into the clock face.

The Eternal Ruins screamed silently, and the fog became thicker.When Kylos realized that he was being suppressed, the fog had covered everything.

"You can't delay me for long." His tone was so sure, "So, your real purpose is to give Edward time to return to the throne, right?"

The sound of the pointer moving is the answer of the Eternal Ruins.

"I must win Edward, he must belong to me." The corner of Kairos's mouth rose a little bit, "And I will never let it go."

Just in time, the poisonous flower planted around Caesar was about to bloom.

At the same time, in the Senna Palace in the heavenly realm, Edward put on the fine clothes of the king of heaven again. He searched through the thick cloth, but there was nothing in the corner of the clothes.

……how is this possible? !

Edward finally panicked, but he calmed down quickly, and summoned the attendants who were in charge of daily life, "Has anyone touched the heavenly king's costume?"

"Your Majesty, you accidentally spilled the black tea five days ago, and your fine clothes got wet. The maid Jasmine took it to wash it. I will summon the maid Jasmine for you."

A few minutes later, the panic-stricken maid was brought into the hall. She bent over nervously, not daring to look directly into Edward's eyes.

The attendant asked, "Maid Jasmine, has anyone touched the clothes during the delivery of the Heavenly King's clothes?"

"Yes, yes." Jasmine nodded hastily, "It's a noble lady, but she wears a veil and enters the palace late at night, so I don't know her identity."

The attendant flipped through the biography, and he drew out a gold-edged spade card, "Sorry Your Majesty, because the person entering the palace is holding this object, we have no records about her."

After a short questioning, the maid was taken down.

Edward glanced at the spades, his face darkened.Who did Kylos meet in his place? !Could it be that he had already noticed the stone in the costume and took it away in advance?No, if this is the case, there is no need for the Ruins of Eternity to trade with itself.

...it was a mess.

"Sort out all my documents and approved treaties this month in chronological order, and I will look through them one by one in an hour." Edward ordered, he planned to go through the affairs of the Angel Legion and the Holy See first, Kyle Roth mentioned It seems that a large number of angels have been dispatched, and things will definitely not be simple.

After receiving the letter from the Holy See, Edward started to really have a headache.

"Who approved this action?" He directly used the power of the God of Light to summon Pope Olando, "How come General Nine of Spades has led the legion to station in the human world? Has this matter been approved by the Holy See?"

"It's you." Pope Olando smiled sarcastically. He seemed not afraid of offending the God of Light who was originally a fanatical believer in the light. "Because I don't agree with this plan, the believers who are passionate about light are already dissatisfied with me."

Edward was stunned by anger, but according to the original procedure, even if the king of heaven approves, the Pope, who is in charge of part of the military power, has the right to refuse. This was originally to maintain political stability, because different forces have different starting points, and it is easy to appear. With their respective loopholes, deliberation and voting between the two parties can eliminate some unreasonable policies.

But the God of Light is different. Whether it is the court or the church, they will blindly obey every decision of the Lord God.Edward has discovered this problem since he took the throne. Although he is strong, he also understands the importance of humbly accepting different political opinions.So Edward deliberately retained the position of Pope Olando. Under the baptism of the spade incident, he had lost his crazy worship of light, so he remained sober and calm among the believers who claimed religious revival, and could clearly point out the injustice of the king's ruling. Proper.

It was Kyle Ross who took advantage of his identity as the God of Light, ignored Olando's objections, and insisted on launching the plan.

"You insist on sticking to this plan so stubbornly, I thought you had changed." Olando's voice was still clear and clear as a teenager, "The time for implementing the plan is coming soon, if you go back now, maybe it's still too late."

Edward thought again.

Olando explained, "The only focus of the plan is confidentiality and flexibility. However, the situation in the human world is far beyond our control in the heavenly world, so I prefer to disperse it. The Gale Valley is indeed a gathering place for demons. If we win It can deal a heavy blow to the Demon Realm, but if it fails, the Celestial Realm may fall into the plight of lack of troops. I think its price is too high. Once the ship capsizes, it is likely that it will never be able to float again, so I firmly oppose it.”

"How many people have access to the heart of the program?"

"The nine of spades is the main one, and his lieutenants and lieutenants must also know about it. I believe that the secrecy can be assured, because it is all your spades." Olando said with a sting, "This is a gamble, love... Your Majesty, what would you choose?"

Edward went through the details of all the plans carefully, and he already had a rough outline in his mind. The completeness and executability of the plan were very high, and it was reasonable for Kylos to persist.As long as there are no mistakes, the chances of the heavenly world winning are very high. It can not only deal a fatal blow to the demon world, but also establish prestige in the human world and gain an advantage in future cooperation.

"...Okay." Finally, Edward made a decision, "I support this plan."

Olando snorted, "Well, I hope it can go smoothly."

Nine of Spades lit a pipe.

The plan has reached the final step, and for some reason, the fox-like general feels inexplicably uneasy.He tried to smoke to calm himself down, but the effect was completely opposite, and the originally stretched right eyelid twitched inexplicably.

He shook his wings violently.

Nine of Spades returned to the bed, and when he opened his eyes again, it was time to march.After packing up everything, Osa was in military uniform and followed closely at the front of the team. The team went to the mountainous area inside the border, when Nine of Spades suddenly said, "Stop for three days."

"What?" Osa thought he had misheard, "General, our reserves..."

"Stop for three days." Nine of Spades said irresistibly.

Three days is the time limit for the demons to endure hunger.

The Celestial Clan army stationed quietly and orderly.Osa followed General Nine of Spades to the top of a mountain, but they did not dare to fly because they were afraid of the demons watching them.When I climbed to the top of the mountain, the nine of spades looked down, and there were densely packed demons in the south of the border, and the pure black tone covered a small part of the Mosaic continent like dirt.

"They number around [-], and they are the main force of the Demon Realm." Osa said softly, "It is precisely because of the nature of the Demon Race that they eat for three days that they can stay in Mosaac for so long."

"There used to be a portal behind the demon world, but it is closed for some reason now." Nine of Spades inspected the place where the demons gathered. "The resources have lost circulation. Obviously, they are waiting for something."
