quicksilver blood

Chapter 521
The first impression of Viscount Oaklifford on Angus was not his pure eyes, nor his warm smile like the sun, but his dazzling blond hair.

That's proof of pure Titan blood.

No intermarriage, no marriage with a foreign race - this is the characteristic of a very small number of ultra-conservatives in Titan.The Oaklive family is a member of this faction.

They also worship longevity like most Titans, but these people refuse to intermarry with other races and insist on the cleanliness of their blood—they believe that the blood of the Titans comes from Tirilas, the people of the sun thousands of years ago. The hair is the proof - that was the noblest race before the High Elves and Giants ruled the world.They are blond-haired and golden-eyed, wise and powerful, and have infinite lives. They can argue with others in the womb, they are priests at birth, and they can pray when they land.

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

The ceremony starts from the time of pregnancy, and pregnant women will only be able to eat vegetarian food and slaughtered animals during the ceremony; they must cleanse themselves, change their clothes and pray, so that the baby will be conceived from the divine grace and born in holy water.

In the days until the age of 13, these children are only allowed to contact their parents, and they do not receive oral education from anyone except for the most basic education of characters and lifestyles, so as to "not allow them to be polluted by other people's thoughts." defile their minds with past knowledge".

These children can only understand the world through the books given by their parents. They are more like scholars than nobles.But the fundamental difference is that their parents don't 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 bloodline will become purer.

These ultraconservatives believe that man falls from struggle.They oppose war, party strife, all radical or advanced ideas, and reject all possibilities that would change the status quo.They proudly call this gentle and unchanging thought "the peace of noble people."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 bastards and inferior people.Only pure blonde hair can prove their nobility.They firmly believe that in this depraved generation, they will be the greatest group of people, even the royal family of Titan may not necessarily be nobler than them - after all, many of the royal family of Titan have intermarried with other races to pray for the longevity of their offspring people.

The Cthugyas have had a dislike for these ultra-conservatives since long ago.

Although the goals of both parties are peace, one is for others and the other is for themselves. Their benchmarks are diametrically opposed-this only makes them more hostile.

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

But Angus also knew that Viscount Oaklifford of this generation seemed to be quite different from his predecessors.

The Viscount, whose full name is Jeffrey Francis Oaklive, is a well-known abnormal person in his family.

Jeffrey showed a sensitivity and enthusiasm for knowledge at an early age.So, after the purification ceremony, at the age of 12, he came up with the idea of ​​going out and seeing the world.

Although his parents strongly opposed this, under the insistence of Jr. Jeffery, they finally took a step back and let their chief guard go out with Jr. Jeffery. The only requirement is to come back every year to see look.

After all, they have more than one son.Jr. Jeffery also has two older brothers and one younger sister, which is enough for the contemporary family to pass on.

And Jr. Jeffery did not disappoint his parents.He rescued a prince in the first year of his trip, and because of this his whole family was grateful by the royal family, and Jeffrey became good friends with that prince; and when he was 16 years old, he Leading a squad of mercenaries through traps and poisons, he hunted down a twin-tailed pterosaur, saved a town from the persecution of dragon species, and spread his name as a hero.

But when he was 19, he got into a rather violent argument with his family.In the end, his right leg was broken, he slammed the door and left Titan in a rage, entering Karal.

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

However, when the pastor performed a grand ceremony on his father and two older brothers, preparing to treat them, they died violently inexplicably after being infused with the Holy Light.So the pastor could only attribute this to the legendary "bloodstain syndrome" that could not be cured, and let it go.

Just as his mother and sister were dying, Titan was thrown into chaos.Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Oakleigh's house, like a pack of hungry hyenas, waiting for their prey to take their last breath.

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

In less than half a month, Jeffery reversed the decline of the Oakleigh family in one fell swoop, severely beat those who fell into trouble, and almost pulled a layer of skin off them.And two months ago, a week after His Majesty Roland read the Declaration of Freedom, Jeffrey successfully passed the ceremony and became the head of the contemporary Oaklive family, married his younger sister, and inherited the title of Viscount.

If you want to talk about the prestige of the younger generation of Titan today, Jeffrey is undoubtedly the highest group of people.He can even be compared with Robert, even the eldest son of the Cthugya family is still behind him.If His Royal Highness Robert succeeds in succeeding to the throne, there is a more than [-]% chance that Jeffrey will become an Earl or even a Marquis.

Therefore, when Vega proposed the name, Angus didn't realize anything strange.

It is true that Viscount Oaklifford is one of the best choices to stop Lord 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. Robert was split.

The Marquis of Lyria has not stood up for a long time because he believes that the current situation may change.But no matter how it changes, Robert currently occupies the absolute advantage.In a third of Titan's land, the people were already discussing what benefits it would bring them if Prince Robert ruled Titan.

The more important reason was that Viscount Oaklifford was young and a junior after all—it would seem disrespectful to ask him to dissuade the Marquis, but at least it would not make the Marquis think that Angus was trying to bring out Robert to suppress him.After all, "exceeding authority" no matter where it is, is an act that is deeply hated by others.

But after he saw the long-famous Viscount Oak Clifford in person, Angus immediately realized that this man was definitely not simple.

In other words, Viscount Oaklifford harbored malice towards him.And this kind of malice is not limited to camps and families, but a deeper kind of malice.

Although these are only Angus' intuitions——but Angus has raised his spirit a million times at this time.

If you want to say why...

Probably, the way Viscount Oaklifford smiled was too gentle and harmless.

So much so that it reminded Angus of the sand fox hunting.

　I got an injection this morning and felt much better, but I had a fever again this afternoon...

　　But now I feel good, I decided to code early and go to bed early after coding
