Scepter of Thorns

It's a wonderful lazy afternoon.

The smell of desserts wafted from the kitchen, and the old teapot gurgled on the stove.A fluffy cat jumped in from the low window, its paws with pads sank into the plush carpet, and the rustling sound was like records spinning in a music box, heralding the beginning of a wonderful song.

Outside the kitchen is a small garden, where the trees seem to grow from a painter's manuscript, beautiful and tricky.A rocking chair woven with ancient vines was swaying slowly in the shade, and Owen Cherry was lying lazily on it, flipping through a book of fairy tales.

The black cat jumped out of the kitchen again. It landed lightly, as elegantly as a lady lifting her skirt.Owen Cheli put down the book in his hand, and greeted with a smile: "Come here, Queen."

Miss Queen ignored his frivolous words, she walked through the rose-covered fence again, took out a letter from it, then walked slowly to the rocking chair, and put the envelope on Owen Cherry's lap.He glanced casually at the wax, and it was spades.

"It turned out to be that guy." The young man muttered, shaking his fluffy blond hair like a lion shaking its soft mane.His baby face made him look harmless and docile, but Miss Queen dismissed it and licked her paw, waiting for her master's reply.

"Well." Owen Cheli picked up a pen and paper from the round wood-grained table beside him, and tilted his head in thought, "Our Mr. Spade is so contradictory and cute. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and you still make such an exaggerated request? Do you mean I want to punish him a little?"

Miss Queen ignored him.Owen Cherry entertained himself and said, "Mr. Spade is easily frightened, so I won't touch him, but his son just came to heaven recently, so I decided to be him."

He scribbled a few lines on cornflower-scented paper and put it in an envelope.The queen was about to walk into the bush with it, Owen Cheli smiled lightly, and said: "Remember to fold a rose to express my longing for him.

He watched the black cat disappear among the blooming flowers.A page of the book on the round table was turned by the wind, revealing a bookmark with complicated patterns printed inside, which was Joker.

Spirit world.

Kaierlos took a sip of the black tea, and the black widow stood beside him tremblingly, not knowing what to say.A few minutes later, William came from the end of the hall, with a long black cloak swaying on the ground, and he sat on the green velvet sofa beside Kailos, "The matter has been settled."

"Orion took the soul of Amiens away, and he will probably be resurrected in a few days. Then what do you want to do then?"

Kairos smiled and said, "Why do you think Caesar likes Amiens?"

William frowned: "Although I have read the memory of Amiens, it does not mean that I know everything."

"Because Amiens is the only one who treats him completely well." His smile deepened, "But what if Amiens changes?"

William reacted, "Did you give him a hint?"

"Hints are just soil, and selfishness is the real seed." Kaierlos lowered his head, and a few strands of blond hair, as bright as the sun, fell on his shoulders, "They have all grown up, and the days of sharing weal and woe and being dependent on each other are over. Mian has carefully planned for Caesar for ten years, so he should also consider his own future, but Caesar does not allow it. He still wants the brother who regards him as the center and treats him wholeheartedly, so conflicts are inevitable."

"So Amiens chose to commit suicide in the end, and he was overwhelmed." William's voice was tinged with a smile, "Sure enough, you are right, Kyle Ross. If you want to destroy Caesar, you must first destroy Amiens. "

"Tragedy always touches the heart more than comedy." Kylos played with the empty teacup, "The curtain has been drawn, and the characters have appeared, let us wait and see."

In the lingering sound of the last word, the teacup turned into a handful of fine dust and flew away, and the angel and the undead laughed silently.

Another temple.

Serones danced in the sunlight reflected by the glass dome in a beautiful fluffy dress.The last movement was performed perfectly, she hugged the shoulder of the human god like a coquettish little girl, "Dad, do I dance well?"

"Great." The young-looking Lord God lovingly touched her blonde hair, "Do you want any reward?"

Serones rolled her eyes, her chin was pointed, which made her look a bit sly, "I want to go to the heaven, that's where Kyle is, and I want to see if it's as beautiful as he said .”

The Lord God of Humanity thought about it for a while. Although the heirs cannot go down to the realm, he thought that the relationship between Kairos and Serones was enough to break this commandment.In the heavens, the heirs of gods can almost act arbitrarily, so he just nodded: "Go, remember not to let other main gods know."

Serones gave her father a hug with a smile, then turned her beautiful skirt and left.

After her figure disappeared, the main human god restrained his smile.His eldest daughter, the Goddess of Wisdom, Heldina has been missing for a long time, but her youngest daughter, Serunes, has no knowledge of it. He also asked about it from Kylos, and the other party only expressed deep regret and concern, and nothing happened substantive action.But Kylos obviously had no suspicions. He felt that the God of Darkness had been suspicious recently, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Celine." He summoned Seronius' divine envoy, "Go and follow the young lady, and report to me immediately if you find anything wrong."

He felt that the God of Darkness might attack his little daughter.

A short-haired woman emerged from the darkness: "Yes, my God."

There is a very famous street in heaven called Siren's Skin.

As for why it is called this name, it seems to be related to the long jihad period. At that time, the two continents were still connected. When the Tianzu were hunting the demons, they could not cross the Red River. They accidentally discovered a sea monster called a siren. They have a fish tail, and they shed their skin once a year. After each molt, they will leave the place where they live, leave everything behind and swim into the deep sea.Their hides last for a long time, and SkyClan can swim across the Red River by wearing them.

There are many strange things in Siren's Cave, most of which are looted from shipwrecks, and some are even still intact.The Celestial Clan brought these things ashore, gathered them up and auctioned them off, and got quite a fortune.

The Siren's Skins Street is dedicated to selling some weird things, and what's more interesting is that there are some weird people who gather here.The only manager of this street is Feiyu. He is a short, fat, Tianzu man who lives in a red house on the street.If anything happened in the street, people would go to him.

Edward was walking in the bustling street market, surrounded by cries of hawkers one after another, like a flock of birds returning to their nests.He turned into a secluded corner alone, where a blue checkered cloth was spread, and a few tattered books were scattered on it.The stall owner was a scruffy young man, wearing a coat with many pockets sewn on his body. His blond hair was messed up like straw, but he ignored it and was still squatting in the corner reading a book.

"Hey, don't you want to read it?" When Edward came over, he raised his head from the thick book belatedly and asked casually.

Edward leaned over and looked through a few books. The strange thing was that these books were all manuscripts, and they talked about some very remote knowledge.He thought for a while, and said to the stall owner, "I bought these three books, how much are they?"

"No, no, no, we don't talk about money." He spoke very slowly, and a lens as thick as the bottom of a bottle covered his right eye, which reflected an unknown light in his eyes, "Since you want to buy three books, I will ask you three questions. If you can answer them, I will give them to you. If you can't, then you are not entitled to take them away."

Edward raised his eyebrows, "Okay."

"The first question." He pushed the lens, "How many gods are there in the sky?"

"Not one." Edward replied, "Because the gods are in the God Realm, not in heaven."

The stall owner let out a sigh, "Very clever, kid."

"The second question, what is the No.30 advanced form of the Bright Element?"

"Gas state."

"Okay." He clapped his hands, "The third question, if I use the advanced spell 'White Eternal Sleep', how will you resolve it?"

"Use 'Abyss' Confession'," Edward said.

"Very good, you can take these books away." The stall owner fiddled with his hair, showing a rather vigorous face, "There is my business card in the book, if you need it, you can come to me, after all, I am know a lot of things."

After Edward left, he took out a mirror from the third pocket. A short, fat Celestial Clan appeared in the mirror and asked, "It's you, the four of squares. What's the matter?"

"I met a very interesting person, you may know." He said lazily, "Master Spade's son."

The Celestial Clan snorted gloatingly: "I remember that guy, the king wanted to deal with him not long ago."

"Well, I think we can fight for it." Fang Piansi said, "We can absorb him. After all, there have been no newcomers on this street for a long time."

"Is it very powerful to hear you say that?" He was surprised, "Then I'm going to try him. If it's true, then I'll give him the position of the three of diamonds."

Square Four frowned, "Then what if he disagrees?"

"Master Spade's son will not be too far from him." The Celestial Clan in the mirror rubbed his hands, "Treat him with the same method we used to deal with Spade, to ensure that he is willing to join this thief ship."

Four of Squares put the mirror back and tidied up the booth briefly. He folded the blue checked cloth on the floor and stuffed it into the second pocket, and took out a handkerchief from the fourth pocket to wipe his face. , showing a little clean and delicate.After doing this, he put his hands in his pockets, climbed over the high wall with ease, and disappeared into the corner of the street.

Ten minutes later, several Tianzu from Qiaozhuang came to this corner. They searched the area carefully. A short and fat Tianzu followed behind them with a flattering smile on his face: "Sirs , what's the matter?"

They ignored him and exchanged their findings. "There are no traces of cloth rubbing on the ground." "The fern in the corner of the wall remains intact." "Nothing was found in the cracks in the bricks."

Several people exchanged glances, and one of them asked: "Flying fish, do you know if anyone has set up a stall here?"

"Huh?" Flying Fish scratched his head, as if he was thinking about it, "I'm reporting to the masters, I have no impression of this place, maybe it's because no one has set up a stall here before."

What he said was very ingenious, several Celestial Clans knew that he couldn't ask anything, so they simply turned and left.Flying Fish smiled so much that the flesh on his face piled up, then he pointed his middle finger at their backs and said silently: "A bunch of idiots."
