The setting sun was setting, the red moon was hanging high, and the night covered the earth with scarlet. In the garden venue of Westminster Abbey, when Deputy Director of Bloody Cry, Sai Lei, looked up, she could see the red moon that had dominated the night sky for 1668 years, and now countless tiny but dazzling stars appeared around it.
For ordinary people, this is just a topic of conversation after dinner. Only the two Blood Moon clans who rule this land understand that this represents the change of supreme authority.
However, no one was sad because of this. Among the four "occupied" countries, only the Blood Moon Kingdom did not offer any resistance. Everyone accepted the rule of the Stars with peace of mind, even the second tribe of the Blood Moon Lord was no exception.
Needless to say, the Moon Shadow Clan does not have such a complicated concept as 'loyalty' in their innocent and simple personalities. They are always positive and sunny like a carefree house dog, but they are not the pets of the Blood Moon Lord, but the pets of the Blood Moon people... They have kindness from the bottom of their hearts towards everyone. Most of them are members of the Beloved Church responsible for spreading warmth, and a small number will join the Hunting Hall to protect the citizens. Therefore, as long as the Stars do not harm the Blood Moon people and allow them to continue to take care of everyone, the Moon Shadow Clan does not care who rules this country.
Compared with the innate Moon Shadows, the Blood Saints, who had to go through many tests and competitions to change their race, generally had a personality that went to the other extreme. Even the most enthusiastic Veela would gradually become selfish and indifferent after becoming a Blood Saint. They naturally had no so-called loyalty and were more timid and afraid of death. Moreover, under the guidance of the Blood Moon Supreme, most of the Blood Saints were scientific researchers, and only a very small number of individuals were responsible for secretly managing the country. Although they were the largest violent group in the Blood Moon Kingdom, they were unexpectedly docile and timid. Faced with the highest military force and the gradual reform plan of the Star Supreme, the Blood Saints immediately saw the times and acted as heroes.
As for ordinary people, there is no need to mention it. In the highly atomized Blood Moon society, the concept of country does not exist at all. How can there be a country if there is no home
Even if the Blood Moon Lord died, everyone's first reaction would be "Good grief, meow".
“Although it’s not the first time I’ve seen it, I’m still surprised every time.”
Cleos, who was wearing an evening gown, came over with a dinner plate and said, "Why is it that Fuyin saw a normal silver moon, but when he came here he saw a blood moon."
"It's a miracle of the Blood Moon Lord," Sai Lei said. "According to the Blood Moon Records, the Blood Moon Lord has some of the power of the real moon, but does not truly control the moon, so the Blood Moon can only be realized in our country. If the six countries are six wells and we are all frogs at the bottom of the well, then the Blood Moon Lord has placed a red mirror at the mouth of our well."
"Can you tell me this?"
"You spend an afternoon at the Beloved Church, and those tail-wagging people are eager to tell you what color the Blood Moon Supreme likes... The Blood Moon Supreme doesn't care about what we say. Although I have never seen the ancestor, I feel that she should be smarter and more cunning than any other member of the Blood Saint Clan, but at the same time, she is also as carefree and doesn't like to hide things like the Moon Shadow Clan. I think she should treat us as pets, and since we are pets, she naturally doesn't mind exposing her true nature..."
Cleos hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Are you... missing someone?"
It's no wonder that Cleos is so cautious, because not long ago, a joint rebellion broke out between Paradise Kingdom and Earth Abyss Kingdom... Compared with the two traitors of Blood Moon Gospel, Paradise and Earth Abyss made the world understand what "loyalty" means again. Since the five kingdoms united half a year ago, the rebellion has never stopped, and even alarmed the earthly angel Jian Lu of the Starry Kingdom. He killed the rebel leader in seconds with one sword, and then it was slightly quiet for a while. But recently, it has become noisy again, as if testing whether the earthly angels are still in the world.
Therefore, anyone who dares to miss the old Lord God now will receive an extremely dangerous signal.
As the law enforcement officer of the Gospel stationed in Blood Moon, Cleos is mainly responsible for judging the public security affairs of the Gospel people in Blood Moon. After all, the five countries have just merged not long ago, and many things have not been adjusted well. Whether it is a crime committed by a foreigner or a crime committed by a foreigner, everyone is dealing with it for the first time and can only cross the river by feeling the stones, so the law enforcement officer came into being.
A law enforcement officer must do his best to maintain justice, safeguard the interests of his country, and be involved in diplomacy. It is a very troublesome position, so this job fell to Cleos, who ranked first in the Red Hat Annual Assessment.
The acquaintance of Cere and Cleos was actually quite accidental. They actually met in the Dream Stairs. They recognized each other and teamed up to fight in the virtual world for a night. Then they became familiar with each other in reality. There is a professional term for this situation called "virtual friends", that is, magicians who can meet in the virtual world are destined friends. After interacting with each other, they also found that they are indeed very compatible with each other.
But friends are friends, and if Cere tries to seduce her into rebellion, Cleos will turn around and leave immediately. She represents the Gospel of Issu, and cannot get involved in the disaster of the blood moon.
"I do miss it a little." Sai Lei tilted her head and smiled, "But I'm not stupid enough to commit suicide, don't worry."
"Although I don't have a good impression of the previous blood moon system, after being used to the system for decades, I still feel a little melancholy when I suddenly have to make a 180-degree turn and abandon all my previous concepts."
Cleos understood her feelings very well. Unlike the peaceful Gospel, if Blood Moon wanted to implement the Starry Nobility system, it had to make drastic changes to the fundamental system, namely the Bloodline Prohibition Law.
The core of the aristocracy is "loyalty to the stars and love for the country", but there is a country before there is a family. The Blood Moon people without a family have no concept of patriotism, which brings great trouble to the Blessing of the Stars. The Blessing of the Stars is not to brainwash the nobles out of nothing, but to raise the "patriotic loyalty" that already exists in the hearts of the nobles to the highest priority. If they are not patriotic at all, then their idea of loving their family will be combined with patriotism. The Blood Moon people, who are selfish to the core, must be dealt with severely.
In addition, there are four other countries that express strong dissatisfaction with the Blood Moon.
It has nothing to do with interests. It is simply because the social phenomenon of the Blood Moon people "sending all children born to orphanages" and "completely severing the connection between parents and children" makes the four countries very disgusted. It feels like the country is taking children away from their parents.
If Blood Moon does not reform, then in the eyes of the other four countries, Blood Moon will be the "evil country" at the bottom of the contempt chain.
That is why this wedding is so important, because it is a key turning point for the Blood Moon Kingdom to completely abandon the traditional culture that it has adhered to for 1668 years and choose to integrate into the Five Nations family. Tonight is actually a politically significant announcement.
Cleos would appear here tonight as a Gospel military attaché who was invited to watch the ceremony. Besides her, there were also diplomats from other countries present.
The host of the wedding was just the right person. Captain of the Sin Hunter, the Sanctuary Magician Gerard, was a well-known figure in the Blood Moon Kingdom. It was not surprising for the envoys of the four countries to visit his wedding. Moreover, his wedding tomorrow would be enough to be the headline news to blast all levels of the Blood Moon Kingdom, making ordinary people completely believe that the Bloodline Prohibition Law was bankrupt. If it was the legendary Blood Saint behind the scenes who got married, it would not have such a good publicity effect.
The only problem is that Gerald is going to marry someone...
Cleos changed the subject: "I'm wearing an evening gown, why are you still dressed like a nun?"
"Because it's sexy." Sai Lei smiled softly, and the blood moon necklace she was wearing slid into her deep ravine. She said leisurely, "I have also been abstinent for a while. I will take this opportunity to find some delicious food tonight. I have never tried doing it at someone else's wedding... together?"
"No thanks." Cleos couldn't stand the promiscuous atmosphere of the Blood Moon people. Last time, she was dragged into a mud coffee by Serei, and she couldn't sit still and ran away as soon as she placed the order. Although she didn't dare to fight with real swords and guns, she was very interested in telling dirty jokes. "Do you have a target?"
"Let me see... eh?"
Serei saw that among the crowded guests, the junior was leading a group of people to the table. She was smiling and walking briskly, chatting with the young man behind her who looked quite hungry. It was the first time she saw the junior having such a good relationship with the opposite sex, but as far as she knew, apart from the Veela, the junior should have no other friends.
With her rich experience, Sai Lei keenly judged that the junior had been moisturized recently, so the answer was obvious... that young man was the junior's bed partner!
Food that is snatched from someone else tastes even better.
She walked briskly across the venue and greeted them with a dignified and elegant manner: "Good evening, junior sister."
"Senior?" Shiffrin saw that Cere behaved like a holy nun, and she knew what this Blood Saint nun was planning. "I have something to ask—"
"Junior sister, it's rare to meet a friend who can make you so happy, let me get to know him too." Sai Lei smiled at the young man and bowed her head to greet him: "Hello, I am Sai Lei, a senior sister of Shi Fulin."
Contrary to her personality, she was very restrained and polite when seducing her prey, and her words and expressions were not seductive at all. But her appearance, coupled with the nun's uniform that fully outlined her sinful figure, made people want to blaspheme the holy more she acted. That's why she liked the nun's uniform so much. It was simply her invincible outfit that killed men.
She was confident that the junior's bed partner would find an excuse to have a tryst with her. At this time, she heard the young man laugh and say, "She's the senior from 222. She should be someone I can trust, right?"
"Even if she can't believe it, what does it matter?" The maid holding the wine glass behind her said, "What can she do?"
There are so many things I can do... Sai Lei looked up at the young man, and found that his blurry face had become clearer. Wait, was his face unclear before? Why didn't I notice it
But soon, her extra thoughts were quickly replaced by great fear. She stared at the very familiar yet strange face, and was frightened to the point of being speechless. Strange because it was indeed the first time they met, familiar because she had seen this face through various channels before.
"If you need anything, please let me know," Sai Lei took a deep breath and said respectfully, "It is the honor of my life to meet you."
"That's too much." Ash stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you, but we have 222 to take care of it. Thank you for your kindness."
"Yes." Sai Lei said without hesitation, shook hands with him and left.
Seeing her come back so soon, Cleos was a little confused: "Why did you come back so soon? Don't you want to eat?"
"It will be too late if you don't come back." Seere looked at the hand that had just touched Ash, squeezed her legs together, and a hot flush appeared on her face: "It's... enough."
