quicksilver blood

Chapter 513 Viscount Ketugya
"Those who yearn for freedom should cheer! Because you were born in this good age!"

"All defenses for the unjust are futile! All defenses for the powerful are evil! Saint Laurent protects us!"

"Stand up! Draw your swords! Cry after me! Let our voices be heard throughout Titan!"

"—we want to be free!"

"We want to be free!"

"We want to be free!"

"……Ugh."

Listening to the shouts coming from the window, the girl about seventeen or eighteen years old puffed up and lay down on the table with a depressed face, kicking her legs back and forth on the high chair.

She rested her chin on the back of her hand, her shoulder-length brown hair was scattered on her arms, and she swayed her little head from side to side on her fingers like a tumbler, giving people a cute feeling like a pet.

A middle-aged man wearing a clean and tidy traditional aristocratic costume, giving the impression of a gentleman, came from behind, holding a tray of black tea in his left hand, and lovingly rubbing the girl's head with his right hand, "Wow!" Laughing and ruffling her hair.

"Uncle Allen!" The girl straightened up, stretched out her hands and patted her hair and shouted dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay...I apologize to you, can't I apologize to you?"

The man smiled gently, sat opposite the girl, put down the tea tray, took a sip from the teacup, and then continued: "But then again, who dares to offend Miss Lily?"

"There's no one...it's just that it's so noisy outside today..."

Lily reached out and took a sip of the black tea in Alan's hand, then shook her head listlessly: "And it's so boring..."

"No way, Lily."

Allen simply didn't ask for his black tea back, but just stretched out his hand to support his chin in a flat manner: "We all know that this day will come sooner or later. As for who is sitting in that seat, for small characters like us There is no difference.”

"It should come, it will always come. Lily, we should learn to accept the fact."

Allen said slowly, his voice gentle and steady, full of magnetism.

His back is straight, his sitting posture is upright and natural, and the fingernails and fingernails of the five fingers clasped in front of him are quite clean.His hair was carefully combed, neatly combed in one direction, without any unevenness, and the fragrance of snow tea tree exuded from his whole body.

Even if it is not by the standards of middle-aged people, he can be regarded as fair and handsome.Coupled with his age plus points, Allen exudes the charm of a mature male that young people cannot match.

After all, he is the younger brother of Viscount Cthugya, the etiquette teacher hired by the Marquis of Lyria, and a follower of the goddess of elegance and beauty.

Of course, his faith was already a thing before.

Now that the gods have fallen, most priests have changed their beliefs.I heard that Bansa, Suze, and the Principality of Karal—now it is the Principality of Saya—have continued the tradition of thousands of years ago and re-established the state religion as the Three Saints.

Just after His Majesty Saint Laurent initiated the Declaration of Equality, he compiled the "Supreme Trinity and the Great Commandment Entrusted by Saint Laurent", referred to as the "Commandment" for short, and sent them to the dead crows. Farnes all over.

Of course, Allen also received a copy of "The Commandment", and read it carefully, trying to understand the great will and spirit of Saint Laurent.

After he carefully studied this sacred scripture, he immediately realized that there was great wisdom and great mercy in this "Commandment".

There is no difference in content from the Equality Declaration initiated by Saint Laurent.It is clearly written on it that he wants to give all the people on the earth and Ya'an the right to live and live.

Saint Laurent said that the old generation has passed.And at the beginning of the new generation, he has already forgiven the sins of all people, and truly realized the amnesty of the world.

Criminals and even death row prisoners, as long as they are willing to become catechumens and admit that they are Roland's believers, Roland will give them a new life and cancel everything they have in the past.

And not even just the person who committed the crime.Even wizards, mountain folk, and druids, who are rejected by some or even most people, Roland wants to give them the right to live and live.

When Roland said that everyone is equal, he does not mean that everyone has the same high status.Rather, it means that people of any race, any group, or any class, no matter they do good or bad things, no matter they are feared or respected by others, as long as they also believe in Saint Laurent and are willing to act in accordance with Roland's "Commandments", If they are willing to dedicate their labor and wisdom for the sake of all living beings, they are enough to be called noble people, and they are all brothers in the Lord who are equal to Roland.

On May 917, [-] in the calendar of the gods, the calendar of the gods officially came to an end.

In "The Commandments", Roland calls the new calendar the New Calendar.

And this year is the first year of the new calendar.

In its first month of release, The Commandment made waves all over the Farnese. The 32 Great Laws and [-] Holy Orders mentioned in the "Commandment" almost subverted the tradition of the entire old generation.

For a while, people were still quite uncomfortable with the new era.But Saint Laurent was unquestionably orthodox, and people began to modify their behavior according to Roland's commandments.

But for the Titans, The Commandments had a deeper meaning.

Titan is different from other countries, it is originally a country where various ideas conflict with each other.This allowed them to unite against the Dead Crows like other countries, even though they were inspired by Roland.

That might be wrong.After all, they still gathered under Roland's seat.

However, scholars have put forward different interpretations of Roland's "Commandment", and as in the past, they have passed on their own doctrines to everyone and guarded their own doctrines with their own lives.

The formerly hostile schools of the teachings of the various gods are still hostile; and the analyzes of the Commandments are still in conflict between scholars who originally held mutually hostile ideas.

Just in Chapter 6 of the commandments, in the chapter where Roland narrates the miracle of equality, many schools of explanations have been born.

Some say that this equality refers to moral equality, which is a subversion of the noble theory of the past; others say that this equality means that the souls of all believers are equivalent at the level of believers; According to the analysis in the direction of Roland, Roland's theory of equality means that all living beings should meet death equally, and funerals of different specifications cannot be carried out.In the chapters of "Liberty", "Holy", "Noble", etc., they had quite serious differences and disputes.

In this country where many torrents converged, the conflict of ideas still persists in the new generation.

But there is only one thing that everyone agrees on.

That is, they needed a new emperor—a wise man who supported their belief in Roland and the Three Saints, and would not bury the whole country under mountains and plagues.

And when the princes were fighting each other, the scholars under them began to encourage speeches in various places, hoping to gain people's understanding and approval.

And the speakers outside Viscount Cthugya's mansion were scholars from the Holy Price Institute supported by the Marquis of Lyria.What they said was in favor of the views of the Marquis of Lyria.

"So, Lily, you have to be patient and graceful enough."

Allen looked at Lily with deep brown pupils, and said flatly and gently: "True elegance is enough to awe the sharp blade. That is the only thing we old nobles have in this new generation. What we have , is an education that is far superior to that of ordinary people..."

"...Lily, are you listening to me?"

Looking at Lily who was shaking her head repeatedly on the table with a puffy face, pretending that she couldn't hear anything, Allen sighed helplessly and lovingly.

Worth mentioning.These burdens did not need to be on her head.

Lily is the youngest daughter of my brother... She cannot be the heir of the Cthugya family.

Then, let her keep this precious innocence for now.
