Blood of Mercury

What woke Kakarit from his deep coma was a warm feeling from his right shoulder.

The feeling was a bit like a hand clapping on his right shoulder, but a warm current slowly flowed through his body, and the frostbitten body was washed by the warm current, giving off unbearable itching.

Inexplicably, Kakarit thought of the kind lord.

At the beginning, his hand clapped on his shoulder like this.

He used to say-

"you're not wrong."

A broad and gentle voice rang in his ears.

Yep, that's what he is...

--wrong! That's not an illusion!

Kakarit suddenly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, the familiar, benevolent, and generous figure stood quietly in front of him, just standing here, the plain and old black robe seemed to separate the chaotic world behind him from here.

...is that Blighter-sama?

Immediately, Kakarit burst into tears.

He felt the quick healing of the wounds on his body, and felt the warm hand pulling him back from the edge of hell, and he couldn't help crying.

"You are saved." The black-robed man in front of Kakarite said gently and in a low voice.

"thanks, thanks……"

Kakarit knelt on the ground, his voice trembling.

He bit the three nails in his right hand and pulled them out sharply, and the black and viscous blood quickly flowed from the wound.

Kakarit felt the granulation on his hand twisting and connecting slowly, sending out intense itching. In my heart I felt extremely happy.

Greedily took a sip of the icy cold air with a bit of scorch, and tears flowed from both eyes.

Is this... what it's like to be alive?

He raised his head and looked at Roland, feeling that he was so friendly and great. There was an impulse in my heart—

"My lord... can I kiss your left hand?"

"Of course, child," Roland's voice was hoarse and soft, like a kind old man, "you can kiss my fingertips."

"—I will give you the right to kiss my ring when my left hand wears the ring."

——————

"Successful casting, consumes four points of natural energy. The current natural energy is 26/30"

"Release the healing touch again."

Roland thought secretly in his heart.

Then the light green aura lit up in the palm of his left hand for the second time, but because his left hand tightly pressed the right shoulder of the homeless man, it was not seen by outsiders.

In fact. When Roland saw the face of this "tramp", he almost laughed.

This poor man who had obviously been tortured was the priest of the Lord of Darkness that he tortured on Qingguo Avenue.

Everyone knows that priests need to synchronize their spirits with the gods. As a result, the will of low-level priests is extremely fragile, and it is impossible to hide things under torture.

This situation will continue until the priest enters the silver rank, and some compensation can be obtained after the spiritual alienation. It is for this reason that the district bishops of each district must be above the silver rank. Otherwise, they would not be able to get immunity from some witchcraft and divine arts that confuse the mind at all, and they would easily be controlled by hostile forces.

So Roland chose the priest and asked him to leak the news of the Brain Eater to the people on Qingguo Avenue.

To be honest, Roland really thought the priest was dead.

But he did not expect that the leader of Qingguo Avenue would be so stupid. After the torture was over, he didn't kill him.

Even if you are worried that the divine magic will find you, you can find a subordinate to kill him, and then kill that subordinate.

But it is only the life of a subordinate. Can't even bear this. It shouldn't be a big deal.

Even if the realm in charge of the Lord of Darkness is not a good thing, he is still a righteous **** after all, not an evil god. And torturing a priest of a righteous god, no matter where it is, is a great sin, and convicting a heretic and pouring mercury into it is considered a light one.

After Roland used Healing Touch for the third time, he finally woke the tortured amateur assassin.

The dialogue that followed was not at all what Roland expected.

Roland pressed the priest's right shoulder hard not only to hide the aura of witchcraft. There are other reasons.

That's a technique known in psychology as "heart anchoring."

The specific details will not be repeated, in short, because Roland pressed his right shoulder when he let him go. When Roland pressed his right shoulder with the same force, he would unconsciously remember the mood at that time.

In order to prevent him from subconsciously attacking himself who was closest to him and had physical contact, Roland even used the friendship technique that he had finally cooled down.

As expected by Roland, the priest immediately offered his allegiance after calming down.

In Farnes, the left hand has a special meaning.

Generally speaking, all enchanted rings must be worn on the right hand, and any ring worn on the left hand has its special meaning.

For example, wearing the ring on the little finger indicates that you are widowed, and wearing the ring on the **** indicates abstinence.

At the same time, kissing the back of the left hand has the meaning of marriage proposal, and kissing the fingertips of the left hand represents allegiance.

And kissing the ring on the left hand means that the loyalist will surely receive the highest gift from the master.

For example, kissing a nobleman's ring means getting a knighthood, kissing a bishop's ring, or even a ceremony for the apprentice priest's normalization.

But for a priest, his allegiance has a special meaning.

If he could only kiss his fingertips, it meant that he put Roland on the same level as the Lord of Darkness. In this case, he will be rejected by the Lord of Shadows, and the priest level will not be improved.

But if he can kiss Roland's ring, it means that Roland has given him a higher status, and he can continue to be favored by the Lord of Darkness.

So after Roland said that, the priest of the Lord of Darkness showed a look of ecstasy.

"So, what's your name?"

"Kakarit, my name is Kakarit, my lord."

The priest of the Lord of Darkness kissed Roland's fingertips, then immediately fell to the ground and replied respectfully.

"Then, Kakarit, you are now to proclaim my name in this city."

The corner of Roland's mouth was slightly the same, and he said in a gentle but majestic old voice: "Just use your personal experience to spread my name among the people. You have to convince them that there is still kindness and love here, and let them know , there are people here who can forgive their sins."

After Kakarit bowed his head respectfully and said yes, and after he was ordered to leave, the old Joseph, who was hiding in the crowd, walked behind Roland with a complicated expression and asked softly, "Sir, how did you do it?"

He was puzzled by Kakarit's inexplicable allegiance.

However, there is little explanation for this.

Roland just smiled, and then asked him, "Did you hear the sound of water?"

"what?"

Old Joseph asked a question in confusion. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Roland's forcible change of the subject, he still listened obediently.

To his surprise.

There was really some kind of water sound - and it wasn't very small ~www.NovelMTL.com~ It was like a waterfall, something was rushing.

Listen to the sound...I think it came from the underground water channel?

"There is indeed the sound of water...what's the matter, my lord? What does this sound of water...represent?"

Old Joseph realized that something was wrong, and lowered his voice and asked Roland.

Roland just shook his head and smiled softly: "It probably represents... destruction and redemption."

At that moment, Old Joseph seemed to hear a silver bell-like laughter flashing away in the void.

Intense unease like a poisonous snake, tightly entangled in his heart. (To be continued)
