Tyrant Code

Duke De Monte came and went quickly.

When Goldo asked about the duke, the duke had already led a cavalry unit lent to him by his father, and charged silently towards Rupert's territory.The gold coins lying in Rupert's vault seemed to beckon to them.

Goldo Moran twitched the corners of his mouth, deciding to ignore the weird feeling that the duke brought him.

He now needs to get ready for his christening.

In the words of the lord's wife, this is "a once-in-a-lifetime event", which is no less important than a wedding.

In fact, at the christening ceremony, he didn't need to do anything.The only important point is probably to memorize the holy words to be chanted.But this chanting is a multi-person participation session-Gordo is not the only one whose birthday is next month.There are more than a dozen children of nobles and rich merchants in the city alone, and they will kneel in the chapel neatly and sing the holy words.

The holy words are not complicated, and it is only a short paragraph that is repeated over and over again.

"Lord Lord,

wash away sins,

pure white soul,

I pray for your coming. "

After singing, An An just waited to be splashed with water and whipped.

On the second day of the lord's birthday banquet, when Gordo went to the priest's mansion for class, Atrium found a whip out of nowhere, waved it in the air, and beckoned Gordo over: " You came at the right time. I have never whipped someone else at a christening ceremony, and I can't master the strength well. How about we try it today?"

Goldo: "...Let's avoid it."

Ethan, Atricia's servant, happened to come in with black tea and saw this scene.The young man in the linen robe blinked and said, "Why don't you...my lord priest try your hand on me first?"

At the same time, Yatricia and Goldo answered "no".

As if he knew that he would get such an answer, Ethan showed two shallow dimples on his cheeks, and said with a smile: "Then please rest assured. As long as you don't kill yourself, these whips won't hurt you. It’s fine if Master Gore doesn’t know, Mr. Priest, haven’t you experienced the baptism ceremony, why have you forgotten it?”

Yatrixia threw away the whip and snorted lightly, with a look of "I shouldn't worry about you".

Goldo Moran shook his head and laughed.

He opened the book and began to read what he was going to learn today.But after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for Atrichia to explain.He looked up, only to find that Atricia was staring at the whip in a daze.

Goldo thought about it in a flash.

Perhaps Atricia really didn't know how to hit people with a whip so that people didn't feel too much pain.

In other words, Atricia was probably the kind of person who got severely whipped at the christening.

For the children of noble families, this is simply appalling.But for children from poor families or even slave families, this is a very normal thing.Goldo also heard rumors that priests in some remote places intentionally abused children during christening ceremonies because their parents did not donate enough money.

Goldo called "teacher" aloud, waking up Atricia from her memories.

Atricia replied with a low "hmm", and started to teach him as usual, but assigned half more homework than usual.

"After the baptism ceremony is the beginning of the month, you don't use it for two days in a row, these are your homework." As Tricia spoke, she handed him a baggy book, but this book is not as good as the previous textbooks. It's a bit special - if it's something like an ancient manuscript, although its paper is messy, the cover looks relatively new, it's really not like it.But it is not as serious as other formal textbooks, with the title of the book branded on the cover.Gordon flipped through it casually, and was shocked by the beautiful and dazzling handwriting inside.

The handwriting was all too familiar to him.

Gordon asked with some surprise: "...is this your previous notebook?"

Why is it said before - because Gordo understands the research process of Atrium, and these things have fallen far behind his current knowledge.

"Well, these are some of the things I accumulated when I was studying in the seminary. The curriculum of the seminary has not changed much over the years, and most of the problems you encounter can be answered in it." Clapping her hands, "It was just a pile of useless waste paper, and it took my boss's hard work to find them..." Atricia sighed deeply, stretched out her hand, and touched Gordo for the first time "I went to the seminary, don't embarrass me. Your teacher, I was the chief of the seminary back then. I don't ask too much, just go and get a chief."

Gordo choked in his throat, unable to say anything that was moving.He put away his notes and said helplessly, "Don't be too busy setting goals for me first. What if I don't enter the seminary."

Atricia rolled her eyes: "Do you have a way to cover your brilliant holy light when it meets the crystal ball? Anyway, I have no choice."

Goldo thought to himself, there are ways.

As long as he mobilizes the dark elements to condense in his palm, touching the holy crystal ball like this is equivalent to adding a layer of medium to his hand.In this way, the crystal ball will probably not shine.

But he dared not.

He knew a long time ago that light magic and dark magic interact with each other.It would be fine if someone else presided over the baptism ceremony for him. It would be too risky to play this trick under the hands of Atrichia.

And after thinking about it, it would be nice to go to the seminary.According to the logic of the group of people in the temple, those who have the talent of light are the favorite of the Holy Lord.When people's eyesight makes mistakes, but following God's eyesight does not make mistakes—this is equivalent to adding a talisman to him.

With a happy mood, Goldo ushered in his baptism.

On the day of the christening ceremony, he was fished out of the bed by the maid Catherine very early.The servants served him to clean his face, and dried the new clothes that had just been ordered half a month ago with a stove burning spices, and then put him into the clothes three layers inside and three layers outside.At this time, Gordo was still a little dazed, because his body was a growing child after all, he couldn't sleep enough and his mind would not be clear.When Catherine brought a plate of oatmeal cookies and milk in front of him, he was barely brought back to his senses by the smell, and he reached out and took a biscuit and chewed it.

No meals are to be eaten until the christening is over.These cookies are probably his breakfast and lunch today.

Gordo looked out the window, the sky was still dark, and there was a mist in the dark green garden, which looked damp, cold and peaceful in early spring.

Goldo looked at himself in a mirror said to be made of sapphire.This body seems to be one centimeter taller than when he first transmigrated. It has a dreamlike beauty. It doesn't look like an adult, but the gradually twitching bones show a bit of a teenager. High spirits.When staring at the mirror, there seemed to be a seed-like, vigorously growing energy between his brows—in short, he was about to get rid of the image of a young and ignorant child.

I have to say that choosing the 12-year-old node for the baptism ceremony is still a bit subtle.

In the Celanca Empire, no matter how precocious a child was, he would not be able to hold a formal job at the age of 12.It's just that children after the age of 12 mostly decide their future careers.Whether it is going to the academy to continue studying, or being an apprentice with a craftsman, you can no longer just idle around for granted.

Even the children of noble families are the same.

Not long after Goldo was ready, there was a knock on the door.Ma Xiao's deep voice came: "Master, the lord and his wife have been waiting for you for a long time."

Goldo: "..."

He seemed to often hear this sentence from Ma Xiao's mouth, "XX has been waiting for you for a long time".It seems that he likes to stay in bed.

He opened the door and walked out, only to find that the lord and the lord's wife were all ready, waiting in front of his door.The lord pulled the man over after Gordo poked his head out, and gave him a hug: "Happy coming-of-age ceremony, child."

"...Thank you." Gordon replied softly.

He felt that this scene was very warm...but the lord's father was a little too forceful, and he almost couldn't breathe.

When the lord's father finally let go of him, Gordo shifted his gaze to the lord's wife standing aside.The lord's wife seems to have not recovered from the blow the Duke gave her last time. The dress she chose was not as luxurious and bright as before, and she used a calm lake blue color, which suppressed even the bright red hair of her hair. , looks dignified and decent, but has no spirit.

Goldo blinked, walked up to the slack lady, and offered her a hug.

The lord's wife: "...!"

The expression of the lord's wife was a little distorted due to shock. She accepted the hug in a daze, and she didn't recover when the hug was over.

"After the baptism ceremony is over, I will go to the imperial capital to study soon. You must take good care of yourself and take good care of Burien by the way."

There are two key words in the sentence he said, one is "Emperor Capital" and the other is "Borrien".If it was the former lord's wife, she must have thought that Goldo was deliberately showing off that he was about to enter the seminary to study - after all, her teacher Yatricia had spoken at the banquet.With Atricia as a guarantee, this assumption can almost be regarded as an established fact.

In the past, the lord's wife would have lost her temper when she heard this.However, after the previous horse whip incident, the lord's wife seemed to have deeply realized that her son was unreliable, and she subconsciously agreed with Gordon's words. I didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, so I nodded and said with a determined mind: "Burrian is a bit outrageous. I will educate him well."

Goldo: "..."

He just felt that Burrien was a little restless and liked dangerous activities such as horse riding, so he had better pay attention to safety.

Madam, is this a misunderstanding...?

Only then did Gordon realize that he seemed to have cheated his brother.
