Scepter of Thorns

Osa was sitting upright, a flag was placed on the table, "General..."

The man on the opposite side raised his head. There was an exquisitely crafted silver ring in his hair, like a gorgeous laurel wreath, but Osa knew that it was an enchanted weapon made by the dwarves, which could protect the brow bone and the eyes.Interestingly speaking, Nine of Spades has a pair of charming fox eyes, the tails of the long and narrow eyes are slightly upturned, exuding a bit of amorous feelings.

After several years of following, Osa did not dare to underestimate the nine of spades.He seemed to be a good-tempered person, not at all close to the word iron-blooded. When he closed his eyes, he always had a sense of a smile, but only when he launched a charge and dealt with prisoners of war would his eyes narrow in satisfaction.

"What do you think about the Baroness's internal personnel exchange?" Osa asked, "There is a member of the Baroness in my mission team, and I always have doubts about him."

"It's impossible to let go of our grievances..." the general stretched out his tone, "but the latest decree from the Heavenly King is that we must trust each other unconditionally."

"Heavenly King?" Osa thought of Edward, "Well, I trust my God's judgment."

Then the identity of the Reticent should be believable, she thought.Even Edward, who has always been suspicious, has issued such a decree, so it is meaningless for her to doubt it.In this way, the information provided by the Reticent can also be believed, and the identity of Camus... definitely has no problem.

"The area around the Angel Lake in the human world has fallen, and the Pope has sent the Knights of Light to station on the outskirts of the fallen area. Those demons don't seem to have any plans to attack next. So we decided to launch a raid on the Gale Valley and demand that the people there The demons are all wiped out. I have reported your number, and you must fight with the army."

"Yes." Osa replied respectfully, she knew she had no right to refuse.

"I will send you the information about the battle and some arrangements. Since you didn't take a long vacation when you came out of the Holy See, but now you will be with the army for at least a few months. I will give you a little time to go to the Holy See to clean up. Two days later report here."

"Yes."

Osa returned to the Holy Academy. She took off the knight badge, stared at the "Ola Verdina" engraved on it, and then carefully hid it.

With the sound of small footsteps, Camus stopped, and he handed over a book, "I forgot your things with me."

His purple eyes were darkened and congealed with gloom.Osa's heart ached inexplicably, and her fingertips trembled as she took the book.

"You..." Camus said hesitantly, he seemed to think it was not a good question to ask, "Are you going to go through the formalities for suspension of school?"

"My family members are worried that I'm studying here, and they force me to move to a safer place." Osa told the lies he had already made up, and then asked another question from the bottom of his heart, "What about you? what's your plan?"

"I participated in the mission of the Holy See and was assigned to the investigation team. I will go to the Wind Valley in a few weeks." Camus stared at Osa, the girl lowered her head, her body trembling even more, "Where I am It is very close to the place where the demons are stationed, so the risk factor is high, but..."

"No!!" Osa suddenly raised his head, grabbed his collar, and said resolutely, "You can't go there, I beg you to listen to Camus. You can't go there, it's too dangerous !!"

"Where is it not dangerous now? But I am more willing to take on the obligations I should have undertaken." Camus involuntarily grabbed her wrist, "What's wrong with you?"

You don't know... Osa thought desperately, you don't know anything. Although the human world and the heavenly world signed a cooperation not long ago, the pope doesn't believe in the celestial army that forcibly moved into the human world, so the heavenly world dispatched an army. Encircling and suppressing the largest base of the demons is not only a blow to the invading forces of the demons, but also a warning to the Holy See.And under the encirclement and suppression of the [-] Celestial Clan, even the surrounding area of ​​Gale Wind Valley will be wiped out, and no life will be left behind.

Osa's heart seemed to be scorched by fire, she loosened her grip on the collar, and hugged him instead, her voice trembling, "I like you, Camus...I can't just watch you die... ..."

Camus's face was stained with crimson a little bit, he was stiff all over, he could only let Osa hug him like this, unable to speak a word.He felt that a heavy hammer was hitting him hard, and a feeling of joy mixed with panic spread. He wanted to say something, but found that his lips were trembling.

Love can overwhelm a calm and sensible person.

"Me, me too." He almost blurted out, "I never thought about you..."

Valentine confirmed that Osa's identity is innocent, and she has nothing to do with the heavens.Camus thought, that's good, it's... great.

The young lovers embrace each other, behind them is the chasm of the abyss, but neither of the lovers is aware of it.

"I have a relative in the Holy See. He said that there will be danger in the Gale Valley, and there seems to be some action. I don't know the details." Osa said softly, "Don't go, promise me, okay?"

"Okay." Camus stroked her hair. He was like a big boy who had snatched a rose, eager to give all the good things to his dear ones. "When will you come back?"

"...one year." Osa has been immersed in the joy of love, her brows are bright, "on this day after next year, I will go to the place where we first met, the store that sells mirrors Wait for you, we, we will be together."

"Okay." Camus could only repeat the word, "Okay, I will wait for you."

Camus never thought that he would fall in love with someone one day, and he was still a human race.His heart was beating so violently, his feelings rose and deepened, and he was so deep that he couldn't extricate himself.

But Camus still lied. It was just an excuse to be included in the investigation team to go to Gale Valley. The real reason was that Osa was leaving the Holy See. He felt that it would be boring to stay any longer, so he wanted to use this to return to the base of the demons. , it happened that the Bakery family's army was also included, but now Osa's warning made him have to pay attention.

The girl left, and he saw the mist in the corner of her eyes when she left.

Not to let anyone know about this, Camus secretly made up his mind.If Osa is exposed, then she is very likely to be implicated by him, and thus in danger. It is too easy for the demons to kill a human girl.But Ossa said there was an operation against Windy Dale...

Camus disappeared into the dark, he took out a mirror, "Valentine, are you there?"

"What?" Valentine responded quickly. He seemed to be in a busy city, and there were noisy shouts everywhere.

"Strengthen the defense of the Gale Valley, I got news that the human world and the heavenly world may have actions against this place." Camus analyzed, "The legions of the Celestial Clan have already entered, and we don't have a specific number yet, but if they want to If you take the lead in attacking, then it is bound to be menacing, and it is likely that more than a thousand people will be dispatched, Valentine? Valentine?! What is your voice?"

"Nothing." Valentine spoke quickly, "Okay, I see. Is there anything else?"

"Forget it, I'll go directly to the station." Camus frowned and cut off the contact.

the other side.

Osa tidied up his messy mind, counted everything and went back to the Tianzu camp.The Second General of Spades happened to catch her, "Very well, Osa, your schedule is still empty, right? Come and help me with some things."

Ossa had to get to work right away.But for some reason, she always felt uneasy. This uneasiness was hidden under love, and even if she wanted to find the root cause, she couldn't start.

Can't let the people in the heaven know the identity of Camus, Osa thought.Her identity is too sensitive, and the Second General of Spades is a ruthless character who would rather kill by mistake than let it go, with a chilling smiling face.For him, it shouldn't be too easy to quietly deal with a human race.

Camus cannot be put in danger because of himself.

After hours of work, Osa finally had some free time.She went up to the top floor and looked down at the entire garrison. The densely packed celestial clans were all over the land, and the white wings were like a layer of falling frost, stretching for a kilometer.The senior generals gathered in the building where she was, and Osa realized that the heavens had dispatched a considerable force.

How many of these thousands of people can come back?Osa was suddenly a little confused, was war really the result she wanted, and what was the original intention of the spades she joined in the first place? These things have long been forgotten in the long training.She recalled her father, but found that it was already a very distant thing, so distant that it had already rusted in her memory.

Valentine put the mirror away again, and he walked through the busy city and went straight into the underground city.After showing the relevant documents, someone took him to a remote small hall, where Mrs. Hong sat on the sofa, and seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

"Ma'am." He saluted immediately.

"You child." Madam Hong smiled, "Don't be strangers, I also watched you grow up little by little, please sit down."

Valentin pondered in his mind that Mrs. Red was from the Solomon family. Caesar probably suspected that she had something to do with Lilith, and he was sent by Caesar to carry out an important mission, so Mrs. Red met him so secretly.Wanting to understand this, he simply sat down neatly.

"You've been a ghost since you thought about it. If someone says a word, you can go around in your stomach several times." Madam Hong said slowly, "Why did I invite you here in this way? I think you have the answer in your heart."

"Madam, please make it clear." Valentin was not sure what Madam Hong's attitude was, so he first expressed himself, "I am with Madam, and the God of Darkness forgave my status as a traitorous adopted son because of yours." In terms of face, so your direction is my direction."

"That's good. I'm still worried that your child has a stubborn temper and insists on confronting me." The woman nodded with satisfaction, her red hair trembling slightly.She slowly took off the rose ring on her fingertip, which was an honor bestowed on her by the God of Darkness, and she gently put the ring into a small box. Valentin glanced at it, and his heart was full of waves.

The box was made of kyanite, a fine workmanship and a very high value.Kyanite is an expensive and rare ore found only in Tinta.

The person in charge of Tinta is Countess Lilith.
