Blood of Mercury

The first impression of Viscount Oakley on Angus was not his pure eyes, nor his warm smile like the sun, but his dazzling blonde hair. △,

That is proof of pure Titan blood.

There was no intermarriage with other races, and no marriage with foreign races - this is the characteristic of ultra-conservatives who are very few in Titan. The Oakleaf family is a member of this faction.

They also worship immortality like most Titans, but these people refuse to marry other races and insist on the cleanliness of their blood. They believe that the blood of the Titans comes from Tirelas, the people of the sun thousands of years ago. The hair is proof—the most noble race before the high elves and giants ruled the world. They have blond hair and golden eyes, are wise and powerful, and have infinite lives. They will argue with people in their wombs, they are priests when they are born, and they will pray when they land.

Therefore, the tradition of these people is to perform purification rituals on the newborn.

The ceremony is prepared from the moment of conception, and pregnant women will only eat vegetarian food and livestock slaughtered during the ceremony; they must cleanly change their clothes and pray, so that the baby can be conceived by divine grace and born in holy water.

Until the age of thirteen, these children are only allowed to contact their parents, and they do not receive any oral education except for the most basic education in writing and life style, so as to achieve "not being thought by others" polluted knowledge pollutes their minds."

These children can only understand the world through the books given by their parents, and they are more like scholars than nobles. But the fundamental difference is that their parents don't really care what their children learn from books - all they want is to purify their blood in this way. As long as such rituals are maintained and passed down from generation to generation, their blood will become cleaner.

These ultra-conservatives believe that people fall from struggle. They are against war, against partisanship, against all radical or advanced ideas, and against any possibility of changing the status quo. They proudly call this gentle and unchanging thought "the peace of the noble man." This is also the first faction to publicly state that it will not participate in the war if Titan is invaded.

To them, people with heterochromatic hair are all **** and inferiors. Only pure blonde hair can prove their nobility. They firmly believe that in today's fallen generation, they will be the greatest group of people, and even the Titan's royal family is not necessarily nobler than them - after all, many of the Titan's royal family also intermarry with aliens to pray for the longevity of their offspring people.

Since a long time ago, the Ctughyas have not liked these ultra-conservatives.

While both sides aim for peace, one for others and one for themselves, their benchmarks are diametrically opposed - which in turn makes them more hostile.

So-called heretics are more unforgivable than pagans, and that is the case.

But Angus also knows that this generation of Viscount Oakleyford seems to be different from his predecessors.

Lord Viscount, whose full name is Jeffrey Francis Oakley, is a well-known anomaly in his family.

Jeffrey displayed a sensitivity and passion for knowledge at an early age. So, after the purification ceremony, at just twelve years old, he came up with the idea of ​​going out and seeing the world.

Although his parents expressed firm opposition to this, at the insistence of little Jeffrey, they finally took a step back and let their head guard go out with little Jeffrey, the only requirement is to come back every year Look.

They don't have just one son after all. Little Jeffrey has two older brothers and one younger sister, which is enough to pass down the contemporary family.

And little Jeffrey did not disappoint his parents. He saved a prince in his first year out of the house, and because of this, his entire family was grateful to the royal family, and Jeffrey became good friends with the prince; and when he was sixteen years old, With a squad of mercenaries, he hunted down a two-tailed pterosaur through traps and poison, saved a town persecuted by the dragon breed, and spread his name to become a hero.

But at the age of nineteen, he had a rather violent argument with his family. In the end, his right leg was broken, he slammed the door, left Titan in a rage, and entered Kalar.

Two or three years after Jeffrey left the family—that is, two or three months ago this year, a plague spread across the earth, and even the gods could not heal it. Jeffrey's parents and his brothers and sisters unfortunately developed symptoms of the disease and developed strange dark red spots on their bodies.

But when the priest started a grand ceremony for his father and two older brothers to prepare for treatment, they were infused with holy light and died inexplicably. So the pastor can only attribute this to the legendary "bloodstain syndrome" that cannot be cured, and let it go.

Just as his mother and younger sister were dying, Titan happened to be thrown into chaos. Countless pairs of eyes stared at the Oakleaf house, like a pack of hungry hyenas, waiting for their prey to take its last breath.

At this time, Jeffrey appeared like a hero. Not only did he use quite tough and ingenious means to deter others, but also used the panacea from Caral to cure the disease of his mother and sister, but also helped Prince Robert to contact many old and new nobles, and made a decision. Made a simple covenant.

In less than half a month, Jeffrey reversed the decline of the Oakleaf family in one fell swoop, savagely beat those who fell into trouble, and almost pulled a layer of skin off their bodies. Two months ago, that is, a week after His Majesty Roland read the Declaration of Freedom, Jeffrey successfully passed the ceremony and became the head of the contemporary Oakleyford family, married his sister, and inherited the position of Viscount.

If you want to talk about the prestige of the younger generation of Titans today, Jeffrey is undoubtedly the highest group of people. He was even on par with Robert, and even the eldest son of the Ketugya family was a head behind him. If His Royal Highness Robert succeeds in the throne, there is more than 80% possibility that Jeffrey will become an earl or even a marquis.

So Angus didn't realize anything strange when Vega came up with the name.

It is true that Viscount Oakley is one of the best choices to stop the Marquis.

First of all, he is also a person who fights for the people and for peace. There is not much difference between him and Angus and the Marquis; besides, he is a friend of Prince Robert, and it is impossible for a neutral Marquis to decide to make peace with such a trivial matter. Robert's faction broke.

The Marquis of Lyria has not stood in line for a long time, because he believes that the current situation may still change. But no matter how it changes, Robert is currently the dominant party~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In one-third of Titan's land, people are already discussing what it will bring them if Prince Robert rules Titan. Benefit too.

The more important reason is that, after all, Viscount Oakleaf is a young man and a junior. Although it would seem disrespectful to ask him to dissuade the Marquis, at least it will not make the Marquis feel that Angus is moving out of Robert to press him. After all, "overreaching" is a deeply hated behavior no matter where it is.

But after he saw the long-famous Viscount Oakleyford himself, Angus immediately realized that this person is definitely not simple.

In other words, the Viscount Oakley had malicious intent towards him. And this kind of malice is not limited to camps and families, but a deeper kind of malice.

Although these are just Angus' intuitions - but Angus has already raised the spirit of a million points at this time.

If you want to say why...

Probably, the way the Viscount Oakleaf laughed was too gentle and harmless.

So much so that Angus remembered what the sand fox looked like when it was hunting.
