Son of Light and Darkness

If we talk about the most gorgeous palace on the whole continent, we will definitely not draw a unified conclusion.But when it comes to the most majestic palace, it must be the headquarters of the Temple of Light in the capital of the Western Yuan Empire.

On the dome that towers hundreds of meters high, the statue of the God of Light is solemn and solemn, his handsome face is carved with great compassion. He overlooks the world, as if he wants to relieve people of all suffering and disasters.

The God of Light is the patron saint of the entire continent, and is also revered by the residents of the entire continent.

The unicorn he rode has also become a symbol of hope and peace, and the scepter of light in his hand is a symbol of peace and tranquility in the world.

Every organization or country will adopt a part of the God of Light as part of its national flag.For example, the Western Yuan Empire adopted the scepter in the hands of the God of Light, together with roses entwined with thorns, to form the unique logo of the Western Yuan Empire royal family.

Every deacon of the Temple of Light enjoys extremely high honors.And the pope is God's spokesperson in the world, and his status even surpasses the authority of the emperor of any country.

When Mephisto walked up the huge stairs of the Temple of Light, the senior deacons standing on both sides bowed their heads to him.

Everyone knows that this proud son of heaven will be the next pope, so they must be given enough respect.

Mephisto walked into the main hall with a blank expression. In the white palace hall that could accommodate thousands of people, there was nothing left but the gorgeous crystal chandelier above and the cold white floor, clean without a trace of dust.

The murals around the hall are exquisite and beautiful, telling the story of the creation of the god of creation thousands of years ago, as well as the birth of the god of light and the battle with the god of darkness.

The palace built with a huge amount of money is majestic, but it is cold and devoid of humanity.

Walking through the hall and into the Pope's study, along the way, whether it was the high-ranking cardinal or the deacons of the Holy See, they all paid tribute to Mephisto, and did not expect him to return the salute.

They allowed and even condoned the next pope to have supreme honor and pride. The noble pope would never lower his noble head to anyone.

"My lord Pope." Mephisto knocked on the door, although Pope Phillips Christopher had already seen him.

The current pope is only in his thirties. Although his appearance is somewhat similar to Mephisto, his handsomeness is full of indifference.

For a continent with an average age of 150 years, the range of youth is wide.

That pair of icy blue eyes, which were exactly the same as Mephisto's, contained too much stuff, making it impossible to see clearly.

Mephisto's eyes are calm and sharp, while Phillips' eyes have been honed over the years, and the original sharpness has disappeared, and more of them are the indifference and ruthlessness that seems to be from a lifetime away.

Holding a book of Revelation in his hand, Phillips saw a rare smile on his usually serious face when he saw Mephisto: "Come in."

Mephisto walked in, chose an ebony and gold-inlaid sofa to sit down, raised his legs gracefully, and slightly raised the corners of his lips: "What's the matter?"

In this world, he is the only one who can speak like this in front of the Pope.

The Pope didn't take it seriously, and looked at him seriously: "You have already told others about your relationship with Eli."

Mephisto nodded slowly.

"But I remember that I said in the agreement with you that one of the conditions for him to come back is that he must not let others know that he is a member of the Christopher family!" The Pope closed the book in his hand.

Mephisto frowned slightly: "I also remember that you said that you would never hurt Eli. But you still ambushed people in the Keya Valley."

The pope was not at all uncomfortable being exposed, and still looked at Mephisto with a smile: "Of course, with the help of His Royal Highness Senior, I believe that the child is not injured. But I still want to remind you, although His Royal Highness Senior I have a good relationship with you, but you don't need friends."

All the kings who stand on the top are destined to be lonely.

"So, you called me this time just to tell me about it?" Mephisto said.

"Bang bang bang." A waiter pushed the door open and brought out fragrant black tea.

"No, of course not. I think it's not too much for an elder to meet his grandson, is it?" The Pope put down the book in his hand and took a cup of black tea.

Mephisto also casually took another cup of black tea, and put it in his hand: "If there's nothing else, I'm going back to the academy."

The Pope shook his head: "Don't be so anxious, my dear grandson. Don't you think it is necessary for us to communicate? That child seems to have a greater influence on you than I imagined."

After a pause, he pointed to the black tea in Mephisto's hand: "This is a black tea produced in the Luoku River Valley. It tastes very mellow. Well, although I remember that you only drank coffee before."

Mephisto looked at him quietly with ice blue eyes: "Occasionally, you can change your taste."

"Well, although I hope this is just a whim you want to change your taste." The pope twitched the corner of his mouth, "Of course, 17 years old is neither too old nor too young. I can understand some curiosity. But , I'm your age, and I'm already married to your grandmother."

Mephisto frowned: "So?"

"Of course, Mephisto, you can get the best woman on this land. But I think the little princess in Prince Rupert's family is pretty good. It seems to be called Daphne, right?"

"Daphne?" Mephisto twitched his lips, "Do you think I'll like her?"

"Oh, of course not. In fact, I don't like such an arrogant and savage little girl. But you must know that Prince Rupert's subordinates control more than one-third of the military power of the Western Yuan Empire. Or..." The Pope paused Come down, looking at Mephisto who suddenly stood up and smiled without saying a word.

Mephisto looked at him silently.

The Pope finally stopped laughing: "Okay, my dear grandson. Of course Daphne is just a little joke I made for you. How can I appreciate their family's influence, and I have to use my best The heir to exchange? You can choose a girl you like, no matter who she is. But, please make sure to choose someone before you are full."

"I see." Mephisto said lightly, then turned and left.

The Pope glanced at the teacup still on the table, and suddenly sneered inexplicably.

After Mephisto went out, he did not leave the Temple of Light, but continued to walk backwards, continuing down a row of white jade steps.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" A cardinal asked strangely when he saw him.

Below this is the ruins of the ancient battlefield that is sealed. Generally, except for large-scale sacrificial activities, it will not be opened, and no one will enter.

"Open the barrier." Mephisto said coldly.

The cardinal hesitated for a moment, but still opened the barrier.

Along the staff he stretched out and raised, a gap that was invisible to the naked eye but could be sensed by light magic slowly opened.Mephisto walked in immediately.

Inside the enchantment was a dark void.

Mephisto could feel himself falling rapidly, and this feeling of falling captured all his senses in an instant.

There are hundreds of enchantments below. Unless it is a great magister, it is impossible to open such a large number of high-level enchantments.

In the entire Holy See, only the Pope, Mephisto and no more than five cardinals have such strength.

It took a long time before Mephisto slowed down his descent speed, and raised the staff in his hand, a soft light emitted from the top of his staff, piercing through the dense darkness in an instant.

This is a huge pothole left after the ancient battlefield, and all the magic weapons are sealed inside.It is said that there is also the artifact of the God of Darkness Carlos himself - the Dark Scepter.

Mephisto blessed himself with a light system levitation technique, and looked at the messy battlefield potholes below in mid-air.

All kinds of armor, battle axes and spears are piled up in a mess, all of which are weapons used by dark magicians.

In a black rock, stuck an inconspicuous magic wand.

The one-meter-long black staff stood alone among the stones, unremarkable.

But light magicians who are most sensitive to dark magic elements can perceive it, because the rest of the weapons are inexplicably afraid of that staff.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth intentionally or unintentionally, Mephisto floated over, a blessing from God sealed the dark element of the staff, then broke open the boulder, and put the staff into his storage ring.

In fact, this scepter belongs to Carlos, how can its power be underestimated?

It's just that it has been sealed for thousands of years, and there is no dark element to borrow, so it is not surprising that it was easily sealed by Mephisto.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" When Mephisto came out, the cardinal asked respectfully.

Mephisto gave him a cold look, turned and left.

As soon as he left the gate of the temple, he saw an unobtrusive carriage rattling past the gate.

Mephisto followed casually.

After making sure that no one was following him, Mephisto got into the carriage.

A beautiful girl in a light golden dress was already waiting in the carriage.

The girl looked at him with some joy: "Is there anything I can do to help you? Your Highness."

"Anastasia, I want you to take Eli to the auction at Prince Rupert's house the night after tomorrow." Mephistopheles said.

Anastasia was a little surprised, why couldn't Mephisto take Eli with him?

Suppressing the curiosity in her heart, Anastasia decided not to ask further questions.

"Okay, is there anything else?" After all, Mephisto was able to take the initiative to invite her out of the palace, even if it was simply to drink tea, she would feel very happy.

Mephisto thought about it seriously: "Well, remember not to let Eli know about this. Also, take care to protect him."

……

Although it was very different from her fantasy, Anastasia also felt very satisfied to be able to have a few conversations with the person she admired the most.

"Please rest assured, Eli is also my friend, and I will take good care of him." Anastasia replied.

However, the Rupert family reunion...is really scary.

Even if Daphne didn't trouble her, she would be terrified just by seeing Prince Rupert's gloomy face.

Taking another look at Mephisto's handsome face, Anastasia decided to go all out!

For the girl of my dreams! ! !
