Scepter of Thorns

Kyle hugged Edward who had fallen asleep in his arms, and then began to write a reply:

"Dear Your Excellency Orion..."

He paused the tip of his pen, but showed a mischievous smile, and ended the extremely concise and clear letter with "Forgive me". He gently put Edward on the soft couch beside him, and left the room.

After more than an hour, Celine knocked on the door: "Lord God of Light, my lord is here to...visit."

Edward heard something vaguely in the dimness. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, and then saw a short-haired beauty standing at the door. Her left hand was still in the posture of knocking on the door. She looked at the empty main seat with a beautiful face in a daze. up.

He lifted off the long black coat that covered him, and said in the tunnel, "May I ask if you are..."

"Selin, the first envoy of the Goddess of Truth." The woman standing at the door said, looking around, "You are the second envoy, I remember that the first envoy is Somania. What is the God of Light? When did you leave?"

"I don't know." He didn't even know when he fell asleep.

Celine glanced at the disheveled Edward with strange eyes, and her tone could not help but feel a little disappointed: "Then please tell the Lord God of Light that our Lord Goddess of Truth asks to meet you, thank you." After finishing speaking, she exited the door.

Goddess of Truth... that woman who was carried away by Kyle?

Edward re-tied the long hair that was crushed and walked out of the room. Outside the door was the kind of black and white corridor that could make people dizzy. Celine was gone, but there was still a faint divine power in the air.He walked back to his palace according to the route he remembered, but was stopped by a blonde woman at the corner.

The increasingly intense divine power made Edward instantly understand the identity of the person in front of him, and he saluted: "Goddess of Truth."

Serones pursed her red lips into a beautiful arc: "Are you Kyle's envoy? I've never seen you before." Seeing that Edward bowed his head and said nothing, she smiled and opened the folding fan in her hand , picked up his slightly pointed chin, a trace of jealousy and meanness flashed in the corner of his eyes: "He looks good."

Edward was displeased by her flirtatious behavior, and he knew that Celine's report made him misunderstood as a male favourite.And Serones didn't show any signs of letting go. She didn't pay attention to an ordinary envoy at all, and she didn't think that Kyle would turn against her because of this.

The blue light converged on the fan and entered Edward's body. At this moment, he could not move at all and had to be at the mercy of Serones.The power that entered his body abruptly raised his mana to a new level with a tyrannical momentum, and finally reached his sea of ​​consciousness, condensed into a small bead, and stopped moving.

"Don't think too much about unrealistic things." Serones put away the folding fan, with a hint of pity in his expression, "All you can do is let me help you turn them into reality, so you have to help me too."

"Do not."

"You have to help me." Her tone became more gentle, "You go and take his dagger, put it in the dark compartment of the left armrest of the palace throne, grab the black crystal on it and rotate it three times to open it, what can you do? Arrived."

"Do not……"

"Take his dagger and leave, leave here, go to the Forest of Floating Light, you don't deserve to stay, dirty half-blood." Her fingernails were like five small daggers, just choking Edward's neck, "I know you Understood, then go quickly, good boy."

A few bruises were printed on his fair neck, Serones let go of him, and kissed him, his soft body turned into blue light spots scattered in the air, and finally disappeared without a trace.

The moment Shenwei disappeared, Edward couldn't hold back anymore and knelt down on the smooth tiles, his long hair was soaked in cold sweat, and the severe pain spread in his body along the direction of the blue light to all his limbs.The beads in the sea of ​​consciousness turned, and he even heard a small humming sound, an auditory hallucination, he told himself.

The light, some golden light composed of some fragments, seemed to have a shape, but it was unrecognizable because most of it was incomplete.They were always there in his body, gently mending after damage after damage.The blue bead was wrapped in a membrane and stopped turning. The pain sensation was cut off like a brake. Edward leaned himself against the corner of the wall, closed his eyes and waited for his physical strength to recover.

In the corner opposite him was a crow with broken wings. It happened to be lying on a black tile, and the color of its feathers made it difficult to spot.Its scarlet pupils stared straight at Edward, so persistent that it wanted to carve him into it.

The blue bead trembled suddenly, and then broke free from the light membrane and trembled violently, but this time there was no pain, but Edward lost control of his body, he was forced to stand up, and turned left into another corridor as if controlled by a silk thread.The eyes of the crow hiding in the corner were even more scarlet. It flapped its wings but could not fly. Its black feathers fell to the ground and shattered into streaks of light surrounding it.

It let out a long, shrill cry, and the black light enveloped him like smoke. When it dissipated, he had turned into a black-haired, red-eyed boy with his face covered and a long cloak on his body. And black yarn, with a few feathers dotted on the corners of the clothes, but the injured arms are still in the form of broken wings.

He caught up with Edward in the direction he left. His right wing was on his shoulder, and a few black feathers slid down his arm to his chest, and then turned around his temple, turning into light spots and blending in.

The blue beads in Edward's sea of ​​consciousness were controlled by the black light and fell into a static state.He turned his head, and when he saw that face, some doubts flashed in his eyes: "A crow?"

The silver beak mask is covered with black leather, covering all the naked skin, the eyes are protected by reflective crystals, and the edges are fastened in the black hair.His voice was hoarse, hissing like a crow: "You have two choices."

"First, I will help you smash Serones' power, and you must leave, no matter where you go, as long as you don't return to the power of the God of Light, I will guarantee your safety. Second, you refuse my request , the blue beads can keep you out of control, you will steal the dagger and flee to the Forest of Floating Light, which is a dark territory closest to the light, once the God of Light thinks you have betrayed him, you will be killed Dead. And your eyebrows have already been branded with light, and the darkness will never accept you, even if you have half the blood of the demon race."

Edward used his rare sobriety to think quickly. From the random entry and exit of Serones and the man dressed as a crow, it can be confirmed that Kyle is really not there, and Somania is also useless. They can be easily erased by the power of God. The presence of traces, he himself does not have the ability to communicate spiritually, so he is temporarily at a disadvantage.

That dagger has a special meaning to Kyle, and the gods seem to be aware of the abnormality of blood, and stealing it at this time will undoubtedly distort the fact that he acquiesces that he belongs to the demon race.And Edward didn't think Serones would just let him go to the Forest of Floating Light and finish the job. That woman is very smart. Since she dared to do it, she must have a comprehensive plan, and she would not act on a whim to vent her anger.

Kyle's ambiguous attitude made Edward feel dangerous instinctively. He didn't want to stay here anymore, and all kinds of clues could show the abnormality of his promotion to the envoy of God.From the bottom of his soul, he resented Kyle's intimate movements and the way he looked at him. Although it was well hidden, Edward still noticed the strong possessive desire under his mask, and only one opportunity to vent was missing.

He didn't like those intermittent dreams, he didn't like people close to him, trying to enter his kingdom, he hated it.Even in those days as Pope he had to deal with some nasty, annoying things, but when he was forced to abandon the arrogance of the Celestial Race, the innate coldness and withdrawnness of the Demon Race were bit by bit. show up.

Edward knew how reckless and unwise he was at this moment, but he had no choice.

"First."

The man seemed to be sighing: "Okay, I hope you won't regret it."

The black has a specific shape, and the feathers are like sharp arrows, piercing the axis of the bead one by one, removing it from the sea of ​​consciousness with almost no effort.But the crow knew that what was really troublesome was the master-servant contract.

As if feeling the same power, the coquettish red lines appeared, lighting up like a warning.He endured the pain, the black feathers swirled and fell, and carefully wiped off the pattern with soft feathers.

After the last line was erased, there was no movement on Kyle's side, and the crow was relieved, knowing that he had succeeded.

The black feathers swirled around Edward again, and they touched his body tenderly, and the crow withdrew its bleeding right wing: "You will go to the Eternal Ruin, the reason why you showed mixed blood before is because of the natural blood in your body. The light element suppresses the dark element in the blood, I give you all my power, they all exist in the form of dark elements, the elements in your body can change freely when they are balanced... you want to change Become a demon, live in another dimension, no one will come, come to you..."

He became weaker and weaker as he spoke, coughing loudly, but his eyes fell on the coat of arms of thorns and scepter that had completely faded between Edward's brows, and there was a bit of a smile in his words: "Go, cough, go. "He stared at the little illusory images of the people in front of him until they disappeared, and there was an indescribable pleasure in his heart.

Under the tight cover of the mask, Edward could not see the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.The crow had a feeling that he was already dead, his mana was exhausted, and his wings were broken.In the God Realm, only he can break Kyle's barrier, there is nothing to hide, and there is no need for that.In fact, it was he who pecked open the cage with his beak and tricked the nightingale into letting go, while he was stabbed bloody by the wire.

How touching, for the pitiful love, he can give his life.

He had no doubt that he would die.

He leaned against the corner of the wall and began to wait for a long time. The black and red blood spread on the black and white tiles, but it did not solidify because of the passage of time. Tell the exact time by light.

Until he heard clear footsteps.

Kyle was wearing a black dress, and his long blond hair was tied behind his head in a bun, revealing a black crystal forehead.A dagger was hooked in his right hand, and his five fingers were playing casually, with a steady and low voice: "Where is he?"

Crow smiled, knowing that Kyle's calm exterior was just a disguise to hide his crazy nature.He took off the mask and threw it aside: "I was born because of him, I love him, and you will only destroy him."

Kyle's expression didn't change a bit, his nobleman's attire made him look elegant, and this elegance turned into infinite patience: "Where is he?"

"You'll never know." The crow's tone was gentle, like the tolerance of a person who died calmly facing a guilty executioner, "You'll never know."

pain.

His right wing was torn apart in a pool of blood by a white light, he laughed so hard he couldn't breathe, "Why do you want to kill me?"

We are obviously alone.

"You are my original sin." Kyle finally spoke, without any emotion in his words, "The source of evil thoughts."

"I lied to him that you would kill him, and he believed it, because you are a real devil, the source of evil thoughts." The crow's laughter seemed to cry, "You won't admit my existence, but I love him more than you ah."

Kyle leaned down, his blue eyes were like frozen lake water.He inserted the dagger into the crow's heart, and in an instant, the boy who was hidden in the darkness, together with the broken wings, shattered into pieces of black feathers, drifting quietly in the air, leaving only the bird's beak mask on the white tiles, one black and one white It seems to be telling endless sorrow.

There was no blood on the dagger, as if it had never been stained with blood.He walked into the small piece of light, the black dress reflected a subtle luster, and the slightly stiff fabric was gently slid by the feathers.

You are my original sin.

called selfish desires.
