Blood of Mercury

"Working people, hurting money... That shouldn't be the style of the Marquis. The Marquis was my idol when I was young. I still remember that he proposed to His Majesty that there should be less or even no grain tax in the villages severely flooded, and he also learned Building schools in his own domain like the Bansa...he was a great lord."

After listening to Master Vega's narration, Viscount Oakley sighed: "Now, he may be really confused."

"Maybe."

Angus replied absentmindedly.

Viscount Oakley suddenly turned his head, met Angus' somewhat indifferent eyes, and showed a gentle and somewhat humble smile: "Speaking of which, Viscount Ketugya, you are also my idol."

"Well? What did you say?"

Angus was slightly startled.

The Viscount Oakley said sincerely: "I have hoped to meet you since a long time ago. I always thought that if there is only one family in Titan that can be called a true noble, then it must be Ketugya. family."

The young man with bright blond hair crossed his fingers on his chest and said slowly.

His eyes focused on Angus, his eyes seemed to be flickering, and at first glance, it seemed that fire was burning.

It was this look that made Angus feel confused.

Yes, he undoubtedly felt a very strong hostility in the Viscount Oakleyford; but at the same time, his admiration for himself was not disguised. This strange inconsistency made him hesitate.

So Angus couldn't help asking: "So, Lord Oakleyford, where do you think our ideals are right? Or, what do you agree with, the so-called 'true aristocrats'? like?"

"That's true nobility—"

The Viscount Oakley blurted out: "There is only one thing that is noblest in this world, and that is to give your life for the people!"

"well said!"

Vega nodded in agreement.

The Viscount Oakley seemed to be encouraged, with an innocent smile on his face: "It would be great if you can agree and understand. I can't find anyone in this land who can listen to my voice."

"Come on—talk about it."

Suddenly, Angus interrupted the words of Viscount Oakleyford.

He raised his head and looked into Viscount Oakley's eyes with burning eyes: "If you have time, you may as well talk to us about your thoughts... Roland is above, maybe we will become good friends."

"Roland...?. Roland...Ro...Lan...O...Lan..."

But what made Angus feel weird, Viscount Oakley murmured the name of Saint Laurent in a distracted way, as if to get some comfort from it.

After he repeated the name several times, the blond youth froze for a moment, and suddenly said without warning, "If you want, I will tell you...all."

After being silent for a while, the young man said, "About the age of eight. When I was reading the book, I suddenly had a question, why do people fight with each other."

"But, as you understand the Oakleaf family, my questions were not answered by anyone. They gave me the answer that every parent answers to a child - 'You'll know when you grow up '."

"But I was not reconciled, I searched all the books I could find just to find the answer to this question. But, I failed. All the books didn't say why people were fighting each other, as if everyone took it for granted Knowing the answer to that question is the same."

"But I didn't know, so I wasn't reconciled. That's when I started to realize that the books around me weren't the whole world. They were neither comprehensive nor correct."

"It was a passing wizard who changed my life. He entered the closed study that belonged only to me without disturbing anyone. Unexpectedly, I didn't feel any panic or panic when I saw him. Fear. Inexplicably, I'm just so sure that this person can't possibly hurt me."

"—Wait a minute."

Suddenly, Angus interrupted the narration of Viscount Oakleyford.

He asked seriously: "Do you remember what that person looked like? Has he introduced himself?"

"He didn't tell me his name."

Viscount Oakley shook his head regretfully: "He was supposed to be my first mentor. Fortunately, I still remember him."

"He's tall, about a Titan; he also wears gold wire glasses and talks more like a poet than a wizard. On top of that, he has black hair and black eyes. I've never seen black hair and black eyes before. He is an eye-catching person, so I am very impressed with him."

Viscount Oakleyford recalled: "He asked me at that time, 'Little thing, where is your lord?' Then I said to him very calmly, 'Sir, I'm the only one here'... Immediately afterwards, he He just proposed to take me out."

"'You must be a liar, sir,' I said at the time, 'no one will try to take me away. My world is here'," said Viscount Oakley, scratching his head shyly, "although It's a shame, but that's exactly what I said at the time."

"But instead of being angry, the gentleman laughed. He said to me, 'When you can go out, go north! The north has your chance!' After that, he disappeared, leaving only Next dirty travel journal. I told my parents and my brother about this guy, but no one believed me, the only one who believed me was my sister.”

"So, you rescued His Royal Highness?"

Angus twitched the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice.

Not only the old Viscount, if his children told him that, Angus would not believe it.

Well, except Lily.

Viscount Oakley spread his hands helplessly: "I know you won't believe it. But that's the truth. I not only saved the prince in the north, but also met my other two opportunities in Caral and Suze... The world is so amazing."

"When I was nineteen, the lowest year in my life, I instinctively went north, and then I met my life mentor, the great mentor who changed my whole life - Marco."

"At that time, I was bewitched by a cultist, and it was Master Marco who woke me up and helped me leave."

Speaking of Marco, Viscount Oakley couldn't help but get a little excited, and his voice became slightly higher: "Master Marco gave me the answer to the question that has been bothering me for ten years. He told me that the world needs I; he told me that our family's philosophy is wrong. Our friends are the people. And the power of the people is infinite."

"Master Marco told me that there should be a torch in this world, which can turn into ashes what has been distorted by people's desires and turned into sins - he said, there should be a flame in this world that can burn all sins Burnt out."

"We should be a whole. Humanity should be a collective! Whether it is imperial power, nobles, or gods, any group that is given to human progress and desires to unite people's strength should be destroyed - the people must have rights, power It must be restrained. Only then can the world be saved."

Viscount Oakleyford's expression was like that of a saint at the moment, and he solemnly preached his words to Angus and Vega.

Wei Jia listened very attentively at first, but when it came to the back, his face began to become strange, with large drops of sweat dripping on his face, breaking into several petals.

Angus' fists were already clenched, but he didn't dare to move.

There is no doubt that he has realized the abnormality of Viscount Oakleyford.

Destroy the imperial power? Destroy the nobles? Overthrow the gods?

Stop kidding~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Do you think you are Roland?

There is no doubt that the faction that Viscount Oakleaf belongs to should be the Ring of Ashes sect that has been active in Titan these days.

However, Angus discovered this, but it was too late.

His extraordinary perception told him that since the second half of Viscount Oakleaf's speech, a terrifying monster had been eyeing him underground. And he had no chance of escaping.

"Sorry, old friend..."

Under the cover of the speech of the enthusiastic Viscount Oakleyford, Vega's pale face was full of apology: "I don't know..."

"It's none of your business, Master Vega... It's all a villain's trick. We've fallen into a trap."

Angus bit his lip and touched the silver cross in his pocket. Take a deep breath.

Yes, he has one last chance. (To be continued.)
