"You don't need to belittle yourself. As expected, you are the child of the previous saint, and your father is the current king of the Holy Britannian Empire!"
As the first religion in the Western Continent, the Holy See of Light is naturally very powerful. As long as you are willing to spend time and money, you can definitely find some clues.
As a saint, Saint Lily has great power and naturally has the right to read some secret files. What's more, there are some old people in the Holy See who participated in the assassination of the saint that year.
"What? Are you talking about the famous good-for-nothing king?" Elaine looked at Downton in shock, "My brother is a prince?"
"As a princess, you don't think it's just a coincidence that you disappeared and became Downton's sister again, right?"
This incident was most likely done by Downton's father, so Saint Lily hesitated for a moment and decided to tell it to prevent them from turning against each other in the future.
"You mean...ah, brother, I'm sorry!"
Elaine was stunned for a moment, then apologized to Downton, calling his father the useless king, which was very rude.
"What are you apologizing for? I will always be your brother! I don't know any king. My mother is the only woman who raised me."
A smile broke out from the corner of Downton's mouth, and he gently stroked his sister's hair.
"Well, I will always be your sister!"
Elaine hugged Downton and pressed her cheek against his chest. Even if Queen Liv cared for her in every possible way, it could not compare to the pieces of black bread her brother brought back when she was a child. Although it was unpalatable, it was
It was all earned with my brother’s blood and sweat.
"you……"
Looking at the two people who were in love with each other, Saint Lily smiled bitterly and shook her head. It turned out that she was too worried. With Elaine's attachment to Downton. Even though she knew that his father had kidnapped her and made her lose her status as a princess, she did what she did.
A common girl of eighteen years, she will not have any dissatisfaction and hatred.
"Anyway, right..."
Before Downton could finish speaking, Elaine pressed her fingers on his lips.
"Why apologize?"
Elaine asked back. Her cheeks were flushed, and she added in her heart, I should also thank the king. Without him, I would not have known you and spent the happiest and happiest childhood.
"Okay, stop showing off your affection!"
Saint Lily chuckled and flicked Elaine's forehead with her finger. She felt that if she continued like this, her friend Twilight would have a powerful rival.
Elaine's status as a princess is not bad now, and she also has the affection of a childhood sweetheart and a forbidden sister. She is simply a more difficult opponent than Princess Sissi.
"No way!"
Elaine acts coquettishly.
"Let's talk about the evil god. Over the past tens of thousands of years, the Western and Eastern Continent has fought seven holy wars. I remember that eight epic heroes led the Western and Eastern Allied Forces to defeat it and got the title of Holy Coffin!"
Downton was puzzled. "With all these amazing talents, they can't kill the evil god?"
"Yes. What I am going to tell you next are the secrets of the Holy See of Light. Even the twelve cardinals are not qualified to know."
Saint Lily's expression became serious, and she waved her hand to create a soundproof barrier.
"Should I avoid it?"
Elaine was very nervous. She also looked around, afraid of being spied on. She was originally a strong and determined girl, but once she was with her brother, she would become very dependent. She didn't want to use her brain, because her brother would take care of everything.
All done to the utmost perfection.
In other words, this is a sense of security.
"No need!" Saint Lily shook her head, "You may not know that the evil god cannot be killed at all!"
"Ah?" Elaine was surprised, "How is it possible? Although the evil god is called evil god, it is not a real god after all!"
"Yes, even gods will fall!"
Downton nodded. He had not forgotten that there was a cheap god waiting to rekindle the divine fire in the dimension of the grimoire.
"What is God?"
Saint Lily asked back.
"Yes..." Elaine originally wanted to say that it was a god, omniscient and omnipotent, but she opened her mouth and froze again, because these remarks are all common knowledge. With the saint's erudition and depth of thought, she would never
Ask this simple question.
"Is it a higher life form?"
Downton interrupted, but his tone was not very sure.
"It can be understood this way. You only know that above the legend is the Holy Arcana, but you don't know that above the Holy Arcana, there is an unexplored realm. There is one level, which is called the divine position!"
Saint Lily broke the news and saw that Elaine was shocked and speechless, and nodded with satisfaction, but when she glanced at Downton, she found that he had a thoughtful expression.
"This boy is even better than I expected!" Saint Lily sighed in her heart.
"But where is the evidence..."
Elaine wants to argue.
"If you think about it carefully, if a god dies, a new god will fill the divine throne and take over the divine power. So where do the new gods come from?"
Downton asked rhetorically.
"That's right, not to mention ordinary people, even legends rarely know these inside stories. That's because there are too few holy saints, and there are even fewer saints who are qualified and lucky enough to understand God's instructions!"
Holy Lily explained that just like after being promoted to the scepter level, you can know what level is above the legend. Only when the magician ascends to the level of the Holy Order, will there be a certain chance of receiving God's instructions and knowing how to step on the level.
Climb the ladder of God and climb toward the throne of God.
"This chance is pitifully small. We can count all the known saints in the continent on one hand. Including those who live in seclusion and are not familiar with the world, there are only a few dozen in total. Among them, those who can get the instructions from God are absolutely
It’s single digits. Do you think that Sheng Aoxun has seen through everything by not participating in the struggle for continental hegemony? No, they are climbing towards the throne of God, and that is a war that cannot waste a second!”
Saint Lily glanced at Elaine. She was indeed of royal blood, and she was indeed a genius. Otherwise, if an ordinary scepter-level person heard the words "Saint Aoxun", he would have vomited blood and been seriously injured even if he did not die.
Elaine actually felt a little dizzy and had chest pain, but the news from Saint Lily was too shocking and distracted her attention.
"The eight holy coffins are all saints, right? Some people say they are not dead? What's going on?" Downton asked, "With their talents, they must be qualified to attack the divine throne, right?"
"Who knows, those eight holy coffins are not normal people. How can ordinary people understand what they are thinking?"
Saint Lily shrugged her shoulders.
"Cheap God, what on earth is going on with the gods?"
Downton nodded, but in his mind, he began to communicate with the God of Cheapness.
"I'll tell you when you achieve the rank of Saint Arcana. Now if I tell you, it's just a waste of words!"
The Cheap God hesitated for a moment, but still refused. It did not dare to speak, because the temptation of divine power was too great. In front of it, royal power was just a drop of sand in the ocean, not worth mentioning at all. It was worried that Downton would be unable to control it.
The desire for divine status has gone astray.
"The evil god cannot be killed, isn't it more powerful than the gods?"
Elaine exclaimed.
"So the Eight Holy Coffins can only seal it in the Temple of Evil at the Peak of Despair!" Saint Lily sighed, "At the latest in ten thousand years, the Evil God will be able to break through the seal and come to the world, causing the continent to be shrouded in its terrifying clouds again.
Down!"
"how much longer?"
Downton frowned, living in the era of the evil god's resurgence, he didn't know whether it was a tragedy or luck!
"Within five years!"
Holy Lily said a frightening number. For humans, five years is a blink of an eye, let alone an immortal existence like the evil god. It may only be a blink of an eye.
"Actually, the conspiracy activities in the Abyss Palace have intensified as early as twenty years ago. This is a sign of the evil god's resurgence. Your mother's death is probably related to him!"
Saint Lily's face was full of worry. As a saint, she was not afraid and was ready to die in battle.
For the sake of all sentient beings in the Western Land, Saint Lily is willing to sacrifice everything, including her life.
"Isn't the Peak of Despair in the Devil's Abyss? Why should the Evil God be sealed there? Instead of sealing it nearby. In this way, a second seal can be carried out before he wakes up, right?"
Downton was puzzled.
"The power of the evil god is too powerful. Even if it is sealed, it will emit a terrifying dark aura that radiates around. There was a holy coffin that tried it, but in just one year, the hearts of citizens of several countries around the seal were corrupted.
, turned into its minions, attacking everything crazily, so it can be sealed in the Temple of Evil!"
Saint Lily smiled bitterly. The Westerners were not fools. They arranged for the most elite paladins to guard the Evil God Temple, constantly observing him, hoping to seal him again before he wakes up. However, even these elites could not resist the dark aura of the Evil God.
In order to avoid non-combat attrition, the Knights had to move their garrison back. The Evil God Army did not give up and continued to attack and oppress their defense lines to provide safety guarantee for their master's arrival.
"You don't know, the Abyss frontline has been turned into a mess. According to the Queen's Regulations signed by the Western Kingdoms, once a magician is promoted to the Scepter, he must serve on the Abyss battlefield!"
When Saint Lily said this, she glanced at Downton. This boy grew up so fast that before the Holy See of Light issued the recruitment order, he actually achieved the position of Grand Marshal.
"Obligated!"
Downton looked serious, knocked on his chest, and performed a military salute. Every time the evil god comes, all life will be devastated. At least once, more than two billion people died on the mainland. It can be said to be the most cruel disaster, so resist the evil god.
, is the unshirkable responsibility of every Western native.
"On behalf of the people of Xitu, thank you for your bravery and fearlessness!"
Saint Lily stood up and saluted Downton.
"I want to help too!"
Elaine raised her hand.
Saint Lily gave Downton a look and said nothing. According to the regulations, Elaine, who was promoted to the Scepter, should also go to the Abyss battlefield. However, with society, there will be class and privileges. With the status of Queen Liv, she can completely suppress it.
this regulation.
“We’ll talk about this later!”
With Downton's doting on Elaine, he naturally didn't want her to take risks on the front line of the abyss. Seeing that his sister was still arguing, he quickly changed the subject, "Hey, who cleaned the room today? Why did he leave a weapon?"
Holy Lily turned her head subconsciously, and then her face changed. There was a sharp bloody military thorn stuck on the dining table. It was so bright red, as if blood had just been applied on it.
"who?"
Downton's expression also changed. He opened his mirror fully and jumped towards the window. After opening it, he looked towards the street. But except for the busy pedestrians, there was nothing strange.
boom!
A group of knights and the guards opened the door and rushed in.
"Your Highness!"
"Princess!"
Heavily armed knights and guards guarded Saint Lily and Elaine, looking alert and ready to fight at any time.
"What is this?"
Elaine's expression changed as she looked at Jun Ci. If she remembered correctly, there was nothing on the dining table except a teapot and cups.
Brother and Saint Lily are the general marshals. How powerful must they be to be able to put down the military thorns without them noticing?
"This is the blood key!"
Saint Lily walked to the dining table and stretched out her hand to pull out the military thorn, but a ball of lightning suddenly burst out from above and bounced her away.
"Blood key?"
Everyone in the room was confused.
"This is the token of the goddess's fang!"
Saint Lily looked solemn and glanced at Downton.
"Goddess fangs? What are these?"
Saint Lily felt like her mind was going crazy.
"You all get out!"
Holy Lily asked his subordinates to step back because these people were not qualified to listen to what was to be said next.
After the subordinates bowed and saluted, they all left.
"There are three major mysterious organizations in the Western Continent, Assassin's Creed, Brotherhood, and Black Flame Church. The founders of the first two are humans, and the latter one is not known yet. However, various spearheads are pointed at the Dragon Clan, especially the Black Dragon Clan. You don't
Do you think, except for the Black Flame Church, the other two are well known to everyone?"
Saint Lily teased.
"Yes, now everyone dares to pretend to be them and commit fraud!"
Elaine was filled with indignation. As soon as she came to Paris to study, she was dragged into a fraternity in the name of a fraternity and defrauded of money.
"Not to mention the Black Flame Church, the purpose of the Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed has faded long ago. More than 70% of the current people in power come from the top brass of the nine empires!"
Big revelation from Holy Lily.
"What?"
Elaine was stunned.
"You don't think the empire is just, do you? Sometimes, justice also requires darkness and blood to maintain. Therefore, it is perfect for some shameful deeds to be done in the name of a mysterious organization."
Saint Lily shrugged her shoulders and showed a self-deprecating smile, "When I was training as a saint candidate in my early years, the task I got was to enter the Brotherhood, and I still hold the position of a regional leader until now!"
"It's so scary. How many things have you hidden?"
Elaine felt shuddering and couldn't help but fold her arms.
"Fortunately, I didn't join the brotherhood. Otherwise, wouldn't I have been on the country's criminal list this morning? I would be monitored at any time, and I might be caught at any time?"
Downton also shivered.
"Yes, when countries sent spies to join the Brotherhood, the original intention was to identify the members of domestic organizations, so as to ensure that they could be suppressed in advance when they launched coups and rebellions!"
Saint Lily nodded, then smiled bitterly, "Do you think this world is dirty?"
"Um!"
Elaine nodded. The sacred and holy image of the Holy See cast a haze in her heart.
"Where are the goddess fangs?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Downton changed the topic.
"Actually, there are others among the three real mysterious organizations!"
Saint Lily deliberately paused to show off.
"What is it? Tell me quickly!"
Elaine grabbed Saint Lily's hand and shook it gently, speaking in a coquettish tone.
"Goddess Fangs, Abyss Palace, and the Illuminati!"
Holy Lily raised three fingers.
“Never heard of it at all!”
Elaine shook her head.
"If you've heard about it, why are you calling it a mysterious organization? Only the truly powerful senior officials of the nine empires and those wealthy families know these inside stories."
Saint Lily rolled her eyes.
"Hurry up and introduce the calendar!"
Elaine looked excited. This is a big secret. Only a handful of people in the entire continent know about it.
"The Goddess Fang was founded by the Governor of the Fallen Angels, one of the Eight Holy Coffins. It is an espionage and assassination organization spread across the continent. It is much more advanced than Assassin's Creed."
Homer suddenly spoke up to popularize science for everyone.
"I know, isn't the Governor of the Fallen Angels the dark elf with the title of King of Killers? It seems to be the seventh holy coffin?"
Elaine asked.
"Yes!"
Holy Lily nodded, "The Palace of the Abyss was founded by the Evil God with the purpose of dominating the continent. After it was sealed, all activities of the Evil God's subordinates were led by this organization."
"I know that the Illuminati was a goddess cult established during the Second Holy War. After the Flame Goddess and the Elf Queen fell at the same time, the main force of the Holy Entegrim Empire turned to underground activities and mainly believed in the teachings founded by the Elf Queen.
School, she is also one of the eight holy coffins, and has the title of Supreme King!"
Not only Downton, but the entire continent is no stranger to the Elf Queen, because the Kuta Magic Empire was founded by the Illuminati believers who believed in the Elf Queen who split from the Holy See of Light. For this reason, three popes launched three Western expeditions.
The crusade war affected billions of people.
The reason why Kuta has the capital to stand among the nine empires is because it inherited part of the magic technology of the Queen of Elf, the Star of Bethlehem weapon system that can destroy stars with one strike. It is said that the secret key is in the hands of King Kuta
.
"Then what does it mean for Goddess Fang to put down this blood key?" Elaine was a little worried, "Brother is being targeted?"
"have no idea!"
Saint Lily stood up, "I have to say goodbye!"
"Um!"
Downton also knew that Saint Lily must have many urgent matters to deal with now.
Saint Lily nodded, and then used her eyes to signal Downton to pull out the blood key.
"Isn't there any danger?"
Elaine grabbed Downton.
"fine!"
Downton patted his sister's hand, walked to the dining table, and then pulled out the spur. This time, there was no lightning flash.
"As expected, it seems that the Elf Queen also received a certain prophecy and chose you as a substitute." Saint Lily said thoughtfully, "Although this blood key is just a legendary weapon, its significance is of great importance. You must keep it well and don't lose it.
Already."
"Want to see it? Take it!"
Downton didn't care. Seeing Elaine observing the blood key curiously, he simply gave it to her.
"don't want!"
Elaine shook her head.
After leaving the residence, Saint Lily went straight to the Palace of Versailles. Her sixth sense told her that the supervisor of the goddess fangs was there.
With the evil god about to awaken and the Holy War coming, all kinds of old monsters have begun to appear. The continent is really turbulent now.
"It's cloudy!"
Seeing dark clouds turbulent in the sky, Elaine closed the window, then pushed Downton and pressed him onto the bed, "Get a good rest!"
Elaine doesn't care about evil gods. She just wants her brother to live well. (To be continued...)
ps: The crusade against the evil god begins, and the book enters the later main plot!
