Scepter of Thorns

Edward was still half unconscious when Somania dragged him out of bed.Because the day and night of the God Realm are controlled by the God of Light and the God of Darkness, and the places where the two gods live are always in the same tense under the influence of the divine brilliance.Therefore, there is always clear sky and warm sun outside the palace, and Edward's jet lag is seriously chaotic, all guided by instinct.

"hurry up."

After washing, Edward was taken to the enchantment at the entrance of the palace by Somania, and only a few seconds later he found himself kneeling in front of Kyle.

so fast.

A beam of light fell on his long hair tied into a ponytail: "Get up."

Edward shivered and stood up slowly.The temperature in the palace is very low, and the so-called light is more like a cold light source, and the floor is covered only for decoration.Kyle was sitting in front of the desk, with neatly stacked documents on the case, holding a black roll of paper in his hand, on which was densely written in white characters.

Kyle handed him the scroll and asked with a half-smile, "What do you think?"

Edward took it and quickly browsed it. From the outside, it was obviously written in the devil world, and the content involved the pardon and forgiveness of dark creatures.He pondered for a moment and said, "This is very detrimental to the Holy See."

There was a large-scale melee between humans and demons when the empire was first formed on the mainland of Mersak. In that era of turbulent wars, there was a situation of coexistence and suppression of theocracy and imperial power. At that time, the main reason was that the invasion of dark creatures was surging, and the light elements were added. The weapons of holy water and holy water can cause irreparable damage to them and greatly increase the fatality rate. The Knights of Light that only the Holy See can cultivate have played an irreplaceable role in the war.

What's more, people at that time needed faith to make up for the fear of war, the sorrow of life and death, and inner wavering, and the empire needed faith to make up for the combat effectiveness of the army and the cohesion of the people.And it was in that era that the army could slaughter prisoners of war without changing their expressions without bearing a heavy sense of guilt; people could wantonly vent their dark and negative emotions of human nature on dark creatures to obtain spiritual pleasure.

The rise of the Holy See was based on this. The first generation Pope Casiso Marmara won the throne with the scepter bestowed by God, which consolidated the unique position of the Holy See in the mainland, established strict and regular dogma, and laid the foundation for the development of later generations. Today, the strength of the Holy See can still glimpse some of his shadow.

So it can be seen that suppressing dark creatures is an extremely important part of consolidating the status of the Holy See. It has a wide influence and will even change the fate of the Holy See and the evaluation of it in history books.If the dark creature is not guilty and pardoned, then the Holy See's suppression of it is a crime, and many regulations in the dogma are designed for the dark creature, so it will not be able to use it.The empire will soon realize this, and will use this as an excuse to quickly weaken the power of the Holy See, and the power of theocracy and the power of the emperor will be completely out of balance.

In the end, the Holy See will collapse as a result.

Although Edward knew very well in his heart that the so-called dark creatures were just different species, and no one was born to be charged with crimes, but such deep-rooted things are difficult to change. They have been tempered for a long time and have formed an unshakable belief.Once the pardon is promulgated, there will be riots in the Mosaic Continent, and people's adherence to their faith will also fade away.Rather than saying that this is a well-intentioned pardon, it is more appropriate to call it a challenge with malicious intentions.

"What's the reason?" Kyle propped his chin, staring at Edward playfully.

"There is no shadow in the light."

He put his left hand on his chest and bowed deeply to Kyle. The flowing light covered Edward with a thin layer of tulle, and his dark blue eyes were empty.

There is no room for shadow in light.

He asked himself, are you qualified to say this?

No.

He is a lowly half-breed, even Somania can see it, let alone the God of Light.So it's just a test to see his loyalty to the light and the maintenance of his beliefs, so his answer doesn't mean he thinks so, right?

A faint voice in your heart is calling, you don’t think so, right? You are just dealing with a temptation, a temptation from God.

Look, for the sake of peace, he has already committed the capital crime of colluding with the demons.Is there really any room for redemption?

Kyle just watched him like this, watching his inner struggle, he looked tired, and the chaotic jet lag should have kept him from getting a good rest.Go to sleep then, he likes to see him defenseless.

sleep for a while-

There was a momentary blank in Edward's mind, and before he could react, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.Kyle held him in his arms and thought contentedly, how could such a good opportunity not be used?

The sleeping person was peeped by the devil, and those painful and embarrassing memories will enter his dream.

That was his unpardonable sin.
