Chapter 1 Barcelissa and the Rebels (2)

The Seven Hills Empire has inherited a secret technique called "Secret Contract Magic" since ancient times. They believe that the five planets in the sky represent the five gods: Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Zeus and Cleopatra.

Ronos. Practitioners need to understand the wisdom, rights and abilities of gods through learning. When a practitioner reaches a certain level of understanding of a god, he will receive the protection of that god and gain magical power beyond ordinary people.

"Your Majesty is obviously from the royal family, so he should be the most favored by the gods...Has your Majesty really practiced magic well?"

Amy whispered to herself. Unfortunately, this sentence was heard by Ella who was hiding in the corner and giving up on herself:

"Of course there is! Isn't it just to understand the laws of the planets? I record the movement of the planets every day! Look at this pile of books, this pile of books, and this pile of books, they are all my records!

I can predict the trajectory of planets now! But why can’t I use magic!”

"Your Majesty... Secret contract magic requires understanding the power of gods, but you only regard them as moving stars... Of course you can't do this..."

"I don't understand at all! They are actually stars!" Ella held her head and worried for a while, then suddenly pointed her finger at Amy: "Amy! I want to order you with the authority of Baselisa to use the power of the gods with a

Express it as a mathematical formula!”

"Mathematical formula... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how is this possible..."

"Isn't there a Pythagorean school who claimed that 'everything is number'? Since everything is number, let them express the method of practicing magic in formulas!"

"But I am not a member of the Pythagorean school," Amy said with a sad face. "The members of that magic school all live a monastic life like monks. I am the only one who has been protected by Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

How could someone be one of their members?"

"Then join the Pythagoreans, study hard, and then use mathematical formulas to express the way to practice magic! Isn't it the Pythagoreans! I will write a letter of recommendation right away! With my Barcelona

Permission, let you join in tomorrow!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I'm going to see if the chef has prepared dinner first."

Amy was so frightened by the violent Ella that she quickly ran away.

When Amy came back with a cart full of food, Ella Cornelius Scipio was huddled in a corner of the room, polishing a piece of colored glass unhappily. This piece of colored glass was made of extremely rare materials.

Made of special craftsmanship, it is as pure as air and does not contain any color. It is also considered a very precious treasure in the treasure house of the Qiqiu Empire, but now it has been cut into two small discs by Ella. He heard the sound of the door opening.

, Ella hurriedly hid the two pieces of glass behind her back. When she saw clearly that it was Amy, she took it out with confidence. She placed the two pieces of glass in front of her eyes, one behind the other, and squinted one

Eyes, use the remaining eyes to observe Amy through the newly polished glass.

Seeing this, Amy sighed and said, "Your Majesty, are you making 'Evil Eyes' again?"

"Its name is the 'Eye of Hermes'! Although you all say it is a prop of the devil, you can indeed see further through it, right?"

"It's because of this that your Majesty still doesn't know magic! The so-called magic is to use the spirit to feel the world, not with the eyes..."

Amy kept chattering, but Ella sniffed: "What does it smell like? It smells so good."

"Ah! That's your Majesty's favorite roasted quail! I saw that other people had this dish in their dinners, so I sneaked it over... Your Majesty, wait a minute! Let me cut it open with a knife first!"

Amy picked up the knife and cut the quail into small pieces of meat that were easy to fork in front of Ella, who seemed impatient. With a "ding", a metal tube rolled out of the quail's belly. Amy couldn't help but said, "Huh?"

"What is this? Will quail eat this?"

Ella swallowed a small piece of meat down her throat, shook her fork and wrote: "This is a prop used to send messages. You can open it by twisting it. It may contain information about someone in the palace having an affair with someone."

Where’s the love letter?”

Amy unscrewed the metal tube as Ella said, and sure enough, a small note came out from inside.

"Eh heh heh? Although there are all familiar letters on them, they can't be spelled out into words at all..."

"This is encrypted." Ella slowly chewed another piece of meat, swallowed it, and then continued: "Try the Caesar cipher."

"Caesar cipher? What is that?"

"It means that each letter is represented by the letter that is moved back three places in the alphabet. Now to back translate, try moving all those letters forward three places."

"I'll try, um... I still can't seem to read it."

"Then try the fence code. Two letters in one paragraph, placed vertically, and then spelled vertically."

"...It's still gibberish."

Ella continued to eat the quail meat, and continued to direct while eating:

"Then use the Caesar cipher first and then the fence cipher, or first the fence cipher and then the Caesar cipher. The rough guys in the palace only know these simple encryptions."

"Unsolved...unsolved! I read it and read: 'Sir, the matter has been settled. Tomorrow, a group of hateful thieves will appear outside the city and send our golden little bird to the underground paradise.'"

Ella's fork froze in the air:

"Little golden bird? Who are you talking about?"

Amy pointed hesitantly at Ella's unique blond hair: "Your Majesty, I think it means..."

Ella suddenly stood up: "Who wrote this letter? To whom is it written?"

"This... this plate of roasted quails was originally intended for Su... Su Cornelius Scipio..."

Ella walked to the corridor in a few steps and shouted to the six guards in the corridor: "Listen! All of you go, it doesn't matter what means you use, kill Su Cornelius immediately.

Bring Scipio here!"

When the six guards heard that Su Cornelius Scipio was about to be tied up, they looked at each other with strange expressions, and then left in a hurry.

Ella walked back to the bedroom and kept circling in the bedroom impatiently: "It's actually my uncle! He actually wants to hire thieves to kill me! This is treason! When I catch him, I will use the Qiqiu Empire's

Law, give him with your own hands..."

"Castrated?"

"Yes! I will castrate him with my own hands...castrate...what are you talking about!"

Ella's face suddenly turned red. Amy replied seriously: "According to the laws of the empire, the first step for treasonous nobles is to castrate..."

"I will put him on death row with my own hands!"

Ella blushed and roared over Amy's voice.
