Scepter of Thorns

When Celu opened the closed basement, the dust hit her face.She lit a candle and made her way down the stairs.

"Feng Po, it's me." She called softly.

After a few seconds of silence in the darkness, an old voice came, "Cellul Senna."

The young illusionist explained, "This is the last thing my sister told me, she asked me to come to you."

"She did the right thing." The man said, "The Baroness alliance that the Senna family has painstakingly managed must not be destroyed by the ruler."

"But Feng Po, she handed the duchess to the king of heaven..."

"That's just an appearance." Feng Po interrupted her, "If she doesn't do this, the Heavenly King will immediately suppress the Duchess after he ascends the throne, so he simply gave the Duchess directly to the other party, making him think that this organization is still under his control." Take control."

"So that's how it is." Cellu tugged at her hair, she said confusedly, "But can I really, really... manage the Baroness organization? I don't seem to know anything except the illusion talent, and I'm not as shrewd as my sister. capable……"

"You have no choice, because you are the last heir of the Senna family."

Cellu bowed her head like a dejected little animal.

"Now that the Senna family has come to this point, I must explain to you the organization of the Baroness. If you want to lead it, you must know its history. What I tell may be absurd, but you must not tell People without Senna blood. These things are passed down from generation to generation, whether true or not, you must firmly remember them. Do you understand!"

"Ming, got it! I won't tell anyone!"

"The baroness originated after the first holy war. After a hundred years of cultivation, the economic exchanges between the seven races became more and more frequent. At that time, there was no closed barrier between all walks of life. The ancestor of an illusionist family first created The Baroness Alliance in the heavens, pay attention, it is the Baroness Alliance, not the Baroness."

"Is there any difference between the two?"

"People in the world misunderstand that the baroness is an organization of the heavens, but in fact it spreads across the seven worlds. Each world has a baroness alliance, each led by a family. The general name of the seven alliances is the baroness. The alliance must abide by One creed: All baronesses must be an alliance. That is to say, even if you are a baroness in the heavenly realm, if you are in the baroness alliance in the demon world, they must help you unconditionally and regard you as a companion."

"The baroness does not distinguish between races, so who was the first to establish the baroness alliance? How did he convince people from other realms?"

The old man fell silent suddenly.

A few minutes later, Celu saw the candles on the wall ignite automatically, illuminating a portrait oil painting.The corners of the mouth of the man with sea-blue eyes curled up in the painting, his blond hair reaches his waist, and he bears a pair of sinister wings.The left side is the same as the ordinary Celestial Clan, but the right side is the bone wing of the Demon Clan.

Feng Po's original old voice was even more obscure, like a broken music box, leaking out noises and harsh friction sounds.

"His name is Kylos Senna, the shame of the past, the glory of the future."

Kylos Senna.Hearing this familiar name, Celu gasped.She trembled her lips and wanted to ask something, but instinctively feared the meaning behind the name.

"Mother, mother-in-law, I..."

"Don't ask! Don't think! Keep it in mind!!" Feng Po sternly said, "There are many things that we are not qualified to study!! Listen carefully, Cellu, I have already said that what I have said may It's absurd, but it's been passed down from generation to generation, and you can choose not to believe it, but you can't get out of control because of these things."

Cellu's heart was beating violently, and she already had a premonition of something.Fengpo continued, "Kellos' father was a rare male illusionist in the Senna family, but he finally chose to be in politics. Later, he was exiled to the human world due to certain things and married a demon woman. Birth of Kylos. Although he is a mixed blood, he has shown a very high talent for light since he was a child."

That sounds familiar, Cellu thought.

"His parents ignored him. His father was pardoned by the heavens when he was young, so he left his wife and went away. His mother died soon, and he was adopted by the Pope at the time. He was elected the Holy Son at the age of 16, and at the age of 26..."

"Elected Pope?"

"...No, he led a group of people to rebel." Feng Po said slowly, "No one knows why he opposed the old pope, but when he was about to succeed, my god descended.

"Kellos was appointed as the envoy of the gods, and the rebellion incident ended hastily. Because of the special status given by the gods, the Pope cannot convict him. As for how the history books of the Holy See are written, we don't know."

"Then how did Kylos come to heaven?"

Feng Po shook her head, "We also don't know, he came to the heaven again, used his outstanding ability to make the Senna family recognize his identity, and at the same time created the Baroness Alliance. Among them, he made full use of his demon blood to establish an alliance with the demon world. With a stable communication channel, the two realms of Heaven and Demon were giants at the time, and other realms also joined forces with the Countess after hearing the news. But Kyle Rose finally went to the God Realm—because the God of Light personally ordered him to return it.”

"Ed, no, the God of Light and him..." Celu reflexively wanted to blurt out, but her unfinished words were still stuck in her throat, "...it's nothing, mother-in-law."

Feng Po looked at her approvingly.

"Is the current Countess still connected with the Demon Race?" She changed the subject, and any Celestial Race would find it incredible to befriend a hostile race.

"Yes, of course we have always had communication." Feng Po admitted frankly, "Whether it is war or peace, the Baroness Alliance must maintain communication, and it must not be affected by political factors.

"The Queen's Alliance of the Demon Race is mainly concentrated in Tingta, and is in charge of the Countess Lilith. They focus on medical technology, food imports, and ore exports. There was a far-reaching medical exchange, and the Demon Race learned to use light magic. The Celestials have also learned how to decompose the Dark Elements - so as you can see, most Demons are powerless against pure Light Elements.

"This kind of medical complementarity often leads to ironic consequences. Demon army doctors can heal soldiers burned by light elements, and sky soldiers can easily break down their dark barriers." Feng Po sighed, "Many of the Countess' techniques It's all used in war, it's inevitable."

"The Lord God... doesn't he know anything about all this?"

"If he had understood, the baroness would still be alive today?" Feng Po smiled, "The reason why the illusionist family has become the leader of the baroness of the heaven is precisely because it has a strong ability to hide. You are now in our In the illusion, but you didn't notice it, didn't you?"

"So that's the case. I said, why are the candles on both sides of the portrait lit?" Celu finally understood, and she asked eagerly, "Then are we going to avoid the Lord God now? What if a war breaks out?"

"You child, you are indeed too young." Feng Po said helplessly, "Your brother and sister are all characters, and they have spoiled you since childhood. I am afraid that strong winds and waves will break you. Before your sister went to the God Realm, brother In Spades, the mother-in-law is taking care of the specific affairs of the Countess. As long as my old bone is alive, I will protect you for a day.

"But Celu, we don't have time for you to grow up. You must shoulder the responsibility to the Countess. This is the mission of the Senna family. What we are going to do is very dangerous. If it is serious, it is a betrayal of faith. " Feng Po said seriously, "Our purpose is to escape the eyes of the Lord God and try our best to maintain a good and stable relationship with the Baroness Alliance from all walks of life, even if war breaks out."

"Do other realms, such as the Demon Realm, think so too?"

"Of course, this is the purpose of all the Baroness Alliance." Feng Po changed the subject, "What's more, this time they took the initiative to send out the invitation."

What's the meaning?Sai Lu was at a loss in her heart, but Feng Po seemed unwilling to say more, "According to the time, someone should come back. You go to the Luo Jiadi branch to meet him, and don't forget your identity as an illusionist."

Sailu wanted to ask something more, but Fengpo had already unilaterally disconnected from the illusion.She returned to reality again, feeling at a loss for this vague task, and she didn't even know her specific identity, so how should she respond?

She faintly felt that this was a test for Feng Po.

※※※

Purda wandered aimlessly in the shadows, as if he and the bustling market were in two worlds.The distance from the human world to the heavenly world did not decrease with the opening of the teleportation barrier, and he still traveled for three or four hours before arriving at Luo Jiadi.

A strange mental wave stirred the elements in the air, illusion—what he caught keenly.

It seems that this is the interface.Bulda opened his sea of ​​consciousness and carefully probed in.

There is a small checkpoint in it, but it doesn't bother Purda. He passed on a small part of his memory about the Countess, and the real illusion opened accordingly.The road is full of gravel and rugged. A girl from the Celestial Clan is sitting at a round table at the end. A huge oil painting is suspended behind her - a blond man is smiling in the painting, but half of his wings are bone wings of the Demon Race. .

"Hello." The girl stood up awkwardly, "Let's introduce ourselves first."

Purda took out his notebook and scribbled down a few lines: [Purda the Silent, the eyeliner placed by the Queen's League next to the Heavenly King, is currently performing tasks in the human world. ] "My name is Cellu, and the League of Baroness sent me to pick you up." Cellu replied, "Do you have anything to give me?"

She had been brewing this sentence in her heart for a long time, and when she said it suddenly, she still felt a little panicked.

The Reticent seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and he tore a few pages from his notebook and handed them to Cellu.After she took it, she wanted to put away the paper, but the silent person wrote: "You'd better memorize them and burn the paper." ] Celu's cheeks were stained crimson, she frantically took out the paper and read it quickly, revealing a bit of novice embarrassment.

The paper records are very detailed, summarizing the heavenly world, the human world, and...

"That... wait." She looked up at him suspiciously, "Didn't you go to the human world? How come there is news from the demon world?"

The Silencer's cloak trembled, as if hearing an extremely funny joke, [The Demon World has also meddled in the Human World. ] "Oh, that's it..." Cellu smiled awkwardly, trying to bring up the subject, but she soon stopped laughing because the Reticent wrote another line.

[What's more, I'm a demon. ]

----Chapter87. Overlap & End----

The author has something to say:

The rebellion of the Son of Kyle Ross: 1.Chapter 3 It is mentioned in the documents reviewed by Edward as the Pope. The first half of the rebellion of the Son of God is true. A change was made to erase his election as an oracle and to be pardoned by the benevolent Pope, so Feng Po said, "We don't know how to write the history books of the Holy See."

2. In Chapter 82, Conns obtained Edward’s documents at the time, and told the story to Pope Moofer again: “Once upon a time there was a pope who adopted a child.” Conns roughly scanned it, “One day this The boy treasoned, but the good old Pope forgave him. No more."
