Blood of Mercury

Claude stood on the tallest clock tower in Luther Town, the sword stick in his right hand was already open, and his hands lightly rested on the top of the stick, as if leaning on a sword.

Let unrelated people ignore their enchantment and quietly open with him as the center. Although the use of divine arts in Karal is extremely expensive, if it is only maintained until the end of the ceremony, there is probably no problem.

After all, it's just a neglected enchantment. Although he is old, he probably doesn't need to activate the incarnation of the gods.

Claude put his hands in front of him, leaning on his sword and staff, and squinted at the rising sun in the distance.

Rarely, he was wearing a white floor-length robe with bronze shoulders studded with metal chains.

Two brown hard leather shoulder straps with sword-like ends passed through the gap of the shoulder jacket, and went around the back of the neck like a scarf and draped over Claude's neck.

The hard leather straps didn't go around the front of his neck, but two copper-colored metal hard ties stuck around his chest, completely blocking his Adam's apple.

This was the most solemn outfit of the Bishop of Sivir.

Not to mention the shoulder coat, he only wears this dress on the first day of every month, and comes to the Pope with other bishops to listen to his lectures after the big service.

And shoulder straps are not everyday clothing. The two sword-shaped shoulder straps are made of extremely high-quality hard leather, unlike the woolen shoulder straps of the Priest of Tell. It also has a different meaning than Priest Tyre's shoulder straps.

As apologetics, as Sivir puts it, they must "keep the sword in their hands." So they had to wear shoulder straps when they couldn't wear a ceremonial sword. Replace the sword with this.

And that white floor-length robe was not the style of Priest Sivir. Generally speaking, they are used to wearing shorts on the top and tight trousers on the bottom. This allows them to respond immediately to any crisis.

This pure white silk fabric is highly reflective in sunlight. And the length that can completely cover the top of the foot is the style that Tyre likes.

"You will be proud of the sun."

"This light is given to you equally by me, and you shall give the light equally to that people."

Claude prayed softly the holy words of the Father God Tyre: "You are the people of the sun, you must be humble and not anxious. You should be like me so that you won't suffer - I don't show your hands and feet, and you don't show your hands and feet; I If you don't show your shoulders, you should not show your shoulders; if I don't show your neck, you should not show your neck."

"May all glory go to Sivir and Father Tyre—"

After a simple prayer. Claude slowly raised the stick and sword, dancing in a complicated and rhythmic manner. It was like something was written in the air, and it was like a sword dance praying for victory.

He was waiting for the passage of time.

Five minutes later, when the sun was in the middle, his prayer began.

Today is an extremely important day for Claude. He had spoken to Macon and Claudia two days earlier. Do not disturb yourself today.

13th 5th - This is the day that Sivir's father, the **** Tyre, becomes a god. On this day, all priests of Tyre and believers above Bishop Sivir wear the most solemn clothes and pray to the sun.

Unlike the priest of Tyre, the priest of Sivir cannot offer sacrifices on this day, and the worship must be held after the sun has risen. Before that, he can only look directly at the sunrise and pray silently in his heart.

This is a clear distinction between superior and inferior, and there is a distinction between priority and secondary - just as the sun rises and sets at the same time every day, the God of Tyre is a **** who pays great attention to the observance of discipline and etiquette.

His teachings vigorously maintained the position of rulers and the power of nobles. Just as the sun has illuminated the earth since time immemorial. from

Nothing is higher than the sun, and nothing is farther away.

The priests of Tyre believe that power is born of it. Noble or not is determined at the moment of birth. The reason for the acquired power is nothing more than stealing or giving it two possibilities.

Adhering to this teaching, even though Tyre's domain was limited to [Sun] and [Justice] at the beginning, in the more than 100 years of growth, he has already reached out to [Nobles], [Traditions], and [Law]. ], [Ritual], [Stable], etc.

At the annual meeting at the end of this year, one of Sivir's cardinals proposed: "Knowledge has a spirit. The inheritance of history is so sacred that it must be under the gaze of the God of Tyre—"

He meant nothing more than to say. Knowledge and heritage should also belong to the realm of the gods of Tyre.

This view formed a huge divide at the annual meeting.

In general, the point of disagreement is not whether this sentence is correct or not, but whether knowledge is related to war.

Some bishops believe that wisdom and war do not conflict. From the field of strategy and warfare, it can be extended to controlled warfare, protection and promotion of inheritance, aggression and integration of culture, etc., which involve knowledge and inheritance, which is also of great benefit to His Majesty Sivir. It should not be directly Give it to Tyre.

Other bishops believe that uncontrolled wisdom is the root of evil. From the field of justice, it can be directly extended to the correction of inheritance and the development of good culture. Besides, Sivir and Tyre are both inside and outside.

This debate immediately exposed the internal contradictions of the Sivir sect. Most importantly, until the end, they were not sure who was right.

However, their Pope is inclined towards the first opinion, while Claude is inclined towards the second opinion. Although Claude didn't say anything on the spot, he was actually a little unhappy in his heart.

In his opinion, if the Church of the Goddess of War was to take the field of knowledge and inheritance, they would simply take it from the alchemist of Su Ze in the north or take it from the White Tower in the southeast.

No matter what kind of attack they are, they will have a very bad impact on the local residents.

Claude has lived for a long time, and he has long looked down on it a lot.

In his opinion, the newly appointed Pope is really too young, only in his early forties, the blood in his heart has not yet calmed down, and his actions are frizzy.

With the reputation of the gods of Tyre, no matter where they go to discuss the spread of the gods' domain, it is definitely much more efficient than their direct attack.

Because of the role of Tyre's teachings in maintaining stability, although Tyre is not the state religion of any country, he is respected in the vast majority of countries - which ruler likes the mob?

It is precisely because of this relationship between Sivir and Tyre that Banza, who is always launching wars, was not destroyed by the surrounding countries. For example, in the extreme north of Suze, where sunlight is scarce, they believe that the yield of crops is more dependent on the amount of sunlight than the fertility of the land. Therefore, many low-level Suze people do not believe in the goddess of harvest but believe in Tyre, the **** of the sun and justice.

Of course, Tyre didn't want his daughter to be beaten, so he would mediate everywhere, and even sent the saint to lobby.

It is precisely because of Tyre's strong protection and help that Sivir can kill all other war-related gods and enjoy the realm of war exclusively. And only she dares to let Banza find other countries to start a war, but other countries have to consider the risk of attacking Banza.

Even if Banza's regular army were all withdrawn, Tyre and Sivir's Templars alone would be enough to protect the country from war.

After all, even the seven gods of Titan have only formed a loose alliance, with faces and hearts at odds.

What's more, not even one of the seven gods has powerful divine power. Even if Tyre doesn't make a move, Sivir alone can beat three with ease.

Suddenly, the melodious bell of UU reading www.uukanshu.com rang from Claude's feet, rang twelve times in a row.

The time has come.

"If I see the sun shining in the sky, my heart will rejoice—"

He held a cane and sword in both hands, waving to tear the air, making a hoot, pointing to the sun aloft, and singing the prayers loudly.

Before he could sing the second prayer, he saw Roland and Kluveen follow Claudia towards him from the corner.

He couldn't help feeling relieved.

Fortunately, little Roland is all right...

But then, his heart was filled with worry.

During this sacred ceremony, he could not speak and move at will, otherwise it would be a great arrogance.

Please don't disturb my ceremony...

Claude thought silently in his heart. (To be continued)
