Chapter 560 Birth
To the west of the empire was the Kingdom of Beelzebub.
This is the place where the Rose Royal Family rules and the birthplace of the Red Apple Church. Even though it is already the cold winter season, roses can be seen blooming all over the country.
No matter the upper class or the common people at the bottom, they all have a strong love for roses. This is passed down in blood, derived from culture, customs and beliefs, and is the result of precipitation over thousands of years or even longer.
Located in the northern part of the kingdom, in the center of the Dukedom of Snow Fox, there is a luxurious but ancient villa on the mountainside. Huge red buildings are spread all over the mountainside. The high spire-shaped walls are covered with bright red and vigorous rose flowers inside and outside.
Here lived the lord Duke Holm and his family.
The villa is located on a high ground and can easily overlook the entire town. However, this place seems to be isolated from the world. The residents are not qualified to set foot there, and the Duke's family will not go down the mountain to the city at will.
Today is a holy day because the Duchess has given birth.
At 9:45 in the morning, a baby girl was born.
The baby's cry echoed throughout the villa, but strangely, there were no urgent footsteps, no cheers, or even normal conversations.
In the deserted and deathly silent villa, there was only one cry.
Wow——
Wow——
The voice was echoing, as if it was foreshadowing something, and even the roses around the villa were swaying with the cry.
In the villa hall, all the normal furniture was moved away, leaving an extremely spacious open space. In the center, there was a complex magic circle carved with blood. There was a bed and a cradle above it. The cry came from the cradle. out.
But the duchess lying on the bed had been dead for a long time. She was dressed in white, and her belly was stained red with blood, like a rose blooming on the snow... Her eyes were always open, and her amber eyes were hollow, but there was still a strange and pious smile on the corner of her mouth.
A man wearing a formal red dress and a beveled hat, knelt on his knees and bowed towards the cradle.
He held an open "Rose Bible" in his left hand and a red rose in his right hand. He was chanting doctrines and gifts with a fanatical expression and firm eyes.
This is the owner of the villa and even the entire Snow Fox Territory, Duke Holm.
Behind him, dozens of red-robed priests knelt down in order and solemnly, bowing their heads silently, not daring to look at the cradle.
Further away, there were densely packed monks, kneeling on the ground in a crowded but not chaotic manner, almost filling the entire villa.
Soon, everyone followed Duke Holm and chanted prayers one after another in unison:
"God said that hunger is the natural desire of man, and eating is to obey the original heart..."
"God said that flesh and blood are the root of man, and their growth is the continuation of life..."
"God said that disease is just a necessary part of the journey, and we need to endure the test..."
For some reason, someone suddenly burst into tears.
It was as if he felt the same pain as God and was infected by the pain.
Everyone's voices gradually rose to a pitch that was almost deafening. A fanatical and pious atmosphere filled the entire villa.
"Loyal gardener in the Rose Kingdom, harvest man at the Scarlet Ceremony... Great Dolomipurnis, we welcome your resurrection and offer sacrifices for your birth!"
bass!
Miso!
Each red-robed monk took out a sharp knife from his arms and stabbed it into his left chest without hesitation, penetrating his heart.
The hot blood flows freely.
The priests forcibly tore off their heads, with distorted expressions of pain and tears, holding their heads in their hands and raising them up to the cradle.
Duke Holm turned a deaf ear to everything around him. He put the rose in the Bible, put the Bible down casually, and then knelt down vigorously.
Boom!
Boom! !
His head hit the floor hard and his forehead bled, but he remained indifferent... It wasn't until his face was covered with blood that Duke Holm passed out with a happy smile.
The croaking and crying continued for a long time and then suddenly stopped.
The villa fell into dead silence again.
It's just that the fragrance of roses is filled with strong blood.

"Lord Jack, this is the information you need."
In the room, the faceless waiter solemnly placed a stack of sealed documents on the table, and then added:
"The Speaker personally went to the Kingdom of Beelzebub to conduct an investigation. The information is extremely credible. He also asked me to convey it to you. Everything went well."
"Thank you."
Chen Lun nodded and placed the two gold pounds on its tray.
After the faceless waiter bowed and left, he opened the vellum of the document and began to read it carefully.
This was important information that he collected by calling on the power of the Generous Council and even asking Speaker Azgierro to take action himself.
Information about the Chrysalis of the End.
The document was written by the speaker himself. The flowing black handwriting recorded in detail the whereabouts of this secret cult organization and its current location.
The current leader of the Chrysalis of the End is named Elsie, a Sequence Four [Sin Eater], a newly promoted flesh and blood saint... Although this person is a female, her behavior and even sexual orientation are more masculine. At the same time, He is a total dim lady fanatic.
After the bloody battle, the Chrysalis of the End was also liquidated by the empire. The scale of this organization was not large. After a bloody battle, there were very few members left.
In the end, the leader Elsie led dozens of remnants and followed the Red Apple Church to evacuate the empire and traveled to the Kingdom of Beelzebub.
Now, the stronghold of the Chrysalis of the End is hidden in the eastern part of the kingdom, near the border of the new empire... But according to the information recorded by the Speaker, the Rose Royal Family seems to have contacted Elsie and intends to incorporate this force.
Although there are only a few crooked melons and cracked dates left in the Chrysalis of the End, and the mid-level members are less than five fingers, the leader Elsie is a real high-ranking saint, and it is not surprising that the Rose Royal Family would like them.
‘This Elsie is actually related to the Rose Royal Family? Lady Gloom and Lady Rose are not fighting each other. Logically speaking, the two forces that believe in these two gods should be hostile...'
Chen Lun thought calmly and then shook his head.
‘When the Red Disaster was raging before, the two parties cooperated. It’s no wonder that Ms. Gloom doesn’t like this group of believers, and even hates them... But what I want to take advantage of is this disgust. ’
He thought to himself, silently recited Hide, and the ivory white pen appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he immediately started writing on the blank paper.
Shasha...
Gorgeous black cursive characters fell on the paper, and paragraphs of content were quickly written. However, these were not Chen Lun's "scripts", but "materials". He collected information in order to prepare for the official writing. Prepare.
Philip Howard was Chen Lun's old enemy and his mentor. He "taught" him many things... Looking back at the tricks Howard had played, Chen Lun found out that to change his destiny, he needed to pay attention to every detail. As long as he used it properly , perhaps one of these trivial coincidences is very likely to cause huge waves and thus set off a tsunami.
‘Decades ago, out of anger at the blasphemy, Lady Gloom personally killed Dolomipurnis and several Archbishops of the Ten Cores... It stands to reason that the person Dolomipurnis hates the most must be Lady Gloom! ’
Chen Lun stopped his pen, his eyes were deep.
'But it is very difficult to get Ms. Gloomy into the game. If you are not careful, you may get burned... What I have to do is to hide behind the scenes as much as possible. At most, I will only let the avatar guide me, and the Chrysalis of the End is a good one. Chess pieces, maybe they can be effective...'

Three days later.
The mountain villa of the Snow Fox Dukedom.
Inside the high red wall, a dozen maids were quietly and obediently pruning branches and leaves in the garden. There was no snow today and the weather was sunny, which was perfect for cleaning up the messy environment in the villa.
In the garden not far away, there are full of white roses in bloom.
A blond girl wearing a goose-yellow floral dress and a matching hairband was sitting quietly on a high chair, holding a doll in her hand.
She is the daughter of Grand Duke Holm, Dolomy. She has now grown into a lovely figure of about ten years old, with fair skin, long eyelashes, and a pair of red eyes unique to the Rose Royal Family.
"Great Dolomy, please send your decree."
Duke Holm, the girl's father was kneeling on the ground and said with a fervent expression.
Beside him, there were more than a dozen servants in the villa, also prostrate on the ground, silent.
The girl Dolomi was lying on the chair as if she were boneless, with her eyes closed and her head tilted. At the same time, she gently rubbed her face against the doll in her hand, with an intoxicated look on her face. Her delicate and small facial features were like works of art. .
She didn't speak for a while.
Upon seeing this, Duke Holm felt an inexplicable emotion well up in his heart. His eyes also showed intoxication and confusion. Even the servants on the side raised their heads and stared at the girl blankly.
The Duke slowly stood up and walked to his daughter. He quietly stretched out his hand, trembling in anticipation, and gently touched the smooth and delicate face.
He called out affectionately:
"Dolomy..."
The next second.
Duke Holm's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open.
He saw his fingers blossoming like roses.
The skin of the nails is cracked, peeled off, and layered on top of each other. The finger bones stand like stamens, and the skin and flesh are in full bloom. The Duke's body refused to obey his orders, and the "flower of flesh and blood" spread from his fingers to his palms, wrists, forearms and even shoulders...
In the end, Duke Holm turned into a flesh and blood rose and bloomed on the spot... The stewards and servants swarmed up almost uncontrollably and ate the Duke clean.
More than a dozen people had eaten and drank enough, with satisfied and intoxicated expressions on their faces. Then, their bodies quietly bloomed into roses.
The scene was bloody and strange. The maids not far away turned a blind eye and were still pruning the flower branches...
At this moment, a burst of footsteps crossed the garden path.
This is a group of church members wearing dark red robes. The leader is a mature woman, and her long bright red hair is particularly eye-catching.
They went straight into the garden.
The red-haired woman glanced at the flesh rose blooming on the ground and knew clearly that Holmfield, the distant cousin of Rose King Mansfield, was too dead to die.
But the woman didn't care, she just walked slowly in front of the blonde girl, bent down, and said softly and lovingly:
"Brother, Louisa is here to see you. Do you still want to comb your hair today?" (End of Chapter)
