Blood of Mercury

Vol 2 Chapter 37: old knowledge

... sue the crow?

Roland was suddenly shocked. These words of Marnos caused huge waves in Roland's heart.

How did the Marquis of Saya recognize his profession? What is the purpose of his showdown with Roland at this moment? Is he friend or foe? Why did he ask Helga to find a druid? Did he know about Roland's existence from the beginning? If so, how did he know Roland's whereabouts? If not, why was Helga looking for the Druid in the first place?

And the most fundamental question - why did he have to find the death crow?

As the long sword of the long-sleeping mentor, the most devout executioners in the world, the Death Crow gives the impression that they are no different from their names. Even in the future when there are more sued crows, most people will not have any special feelings except for fear and bad luck when they see sued crows. As if these dark and cold crows could take their own lives at any moment.

Roland didn't think there was any job that only a dead crow could do. The skills that Sue Crow is good at, in general terms, are probably the only one that kills.

But if Marquis Saya wants to kill, where is the need to find a death crow with great fanfare? He himself is an instructor of the Dumb Blade Army, a general and a marquis. If he wants to kill a person, there are simply not many ways.

And even if Marquis Saya really made such a request, I am afraid that Roland could only reject him regretfully.

As a death crow, Roland didn't kill anyone he wanted.

The essence of death crows is the extension of the teacher's power of obliteration in the human world. They are immortal as the entity of the teacher's power on earth and the agent who implements the master's obliteration power. Therefore, they must not be biased in their killing.

For example, the death crow can use the plague to kill tens of thousands of people with the purpose of killing a few sinners; it can also implicate innocent people with bombs and poisons. But in any case, Sue Crow can't help any party to kill without the permission of the teacher - even if it is a sinner full of evil.

In short, there must be no bias when accusing Death Crow of killing. You can't choose to kill someone or not because of your personal likes and dislikes. They kill only to complete the task of the mentor, and the mentor kills these people because their lives are exhausted—

To put it more clearly, it means that no one else will survive if they live. Therefore, God does not intend to let them live any longer.

From this point of view. Roland is a Taoist for the sky. Now the task assigned by the instructor to Roland is to "shut up 'them'". In the process of completing the task, no matter how many people Roland accidentally injured. As long as he has a good reason, at least with the teacher is innocent.

But if it is said that after Roland put poison in the water source in the city, but he gave the antidote to the girl next to her because of her attractive eyes, Roland would have a big problem.

That's because what Roland represents is "death" itself. And death, as the most unshakable justice in this world, will surely come to everyone equally. If death has its own will, it will choose the people it takes away at will according to personal preferences. There is no doubt that the world is going to be in chaos. And this is absolutely not allowed by the teacher.

The specific expression is that after Roland advances to the golden level, his "Mourning Chant" feature will become "Death Incarnation". All those killed by Roland—whether they were killed by chant or not—will be considered dead, and lose most of the possibility of resurrection.

... no, wait.

Roland frowned suddenly.

No, Marquis Saya wants to let Roland kill a certain undead, right?

If this is the case, in this day and age, only Roland can really do it.

But at the same time, Roland is also the new king of Elcatel. Unless the camps are against each other, Roland has no position to help Marquis Saya to eliminate the undead.

Let's just ask what's going on.

But after Roland asked, he got a rather ambiguous answer: "Almost."

"……almost?"

Roland blinked blankly.

Right is right. Wrong is wrong - what's the situation?

"First of all, Mr. Roland, I want to apologize to you first." Marquis Saya said apologetically to Roland, "The name of that lord... is the name of the lord who told me your identity. I can't tell you."

Because I have already promised that side.

Roland nodded, expressing his understanding.

Then Marquis Saya heaved a sigh of relief and showed a brisk smile for a moment. But then he tightened his face again: "Mr. Roland... I'm sorry, the next thing will be more important and not suitable..."

"I understand, Lord Marquis."

Roland nodded gently and drew a cross on his forehead with his right hand. Pressing on his heart, he said solemnly: "This matter comes in through my ears. It will never come out of my mouth - I guarantee it in the name of my mentor."

The moment Roland's voice fell, a dim gray mark flashed across Roland's forehead.

Even if Roland is the mentor's elector. He must also be responsible for his oath.

However, Roland also secretly kept a hand.

For example, the only oath Roland made was "not from my mouth", but it didn't say that Roland could not deliberately let others guess. And Roland only said "guarantee in the name of the mentor", but did not say the punishment he would suffer.

Roland didn't have anything to refute if he said treacherous words. But with Roland's character, he would never easily entrust his trust to others.

Looking at Marquis Saya's reaction, he obviously knew Roland's thoughts, but he just smiled.

Roland narrowed his eyes slightly. He was also aware of Marquis Saya's abnormality.

Marquis Saya is definitely not an idiot, and this reaction alone also shows some problems. But Roland didn't break either, just waiting quietly for Marnos to speak.

"I suspect that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the city lord of Richero was bewitched by the devil... either, he is one"

As Roland expected, Marnos was a big news as soon as he opened his mouth.

"...Is there any evidence?"

Roland's face became serious.

Because Roland clearly remembered that the city owner of Richero was a normal local nobility. He has never had anything to do with cults.

In other words, either Marnos is lying, or history has changed.

In either case, Roland could not be ignored.

Facing Roland's question, Marquis Saya sighed deeply and took a sip of black tea.

Then, he explained in a low voice, "That's the problem... I have no evidence, and I don't want everyone to know about this."

"Because...I know the devil." (To be continued.)(www..)
