quicksilver blood

Chapter 561 The New King
"His Majesty……"

Looking at Roland's familiar face, Chris trembled and murmured.

After a thousand years, she felt the throbbing of her heart again.

That was the call of the Seal of Cangyin—the proof of atonement for the sins of the undead with the scepter of the Silver Queen, the imprint left when sacrificing oneself.

bow down.Bow down to him.A voice kept shouting in her heart like this.

At that moment, she remembered the old prophecy.

"Bird of ominous omen! You shall have quicksilver as blood, crown of thorns—"

The prophecy left by the Silver Queen is absolutely true.

She had said that when the dead meet their new king, they will understand who the prophecy refers to.

as expected.Not surprisingly.

Although the crown-like silver-gray thorn pattern slowly emerged on Roland's forehead, although its style is slightly different from that of the Silver Queen, it can be recognized at a glance, and its essence is not any different.

You did bring us a new king.

Feeling the gradually recovering heartbeat, my withered heart was filled with vitality again, and warm blood began to slowly flow in this almost dry body.

Really, the Cangyin Seal!

After realizing this, her tears could no longer be stopped.

Roland looked at Chris with tears streaming down his face, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart.

After Roland realized that he and his sister were actually one person, although her sister's memory did not flow over, Roland's habits were obviously influenced by her sister.

Chris, I'm back - Roland almost blurted out like this.

"I am not your Majesty."

After Roland calmed down, he still said softly: "I am Roland. Roland Nirola. I am the initiator of the miracle, the successor of Cangyin, the Pope of the Three Saints, and the younger brother of the Silver Queen -"

He read word for word with a clear voice: "I am the new king of Elkart."

Looking at Roland who seemed to be shining with light, Chris seemed to see the 1000-year-old Silver Queen in a daze.

Yes, this is the Silver Queen.

Regardless of the facts, she just wanted to treat Roland as the Silver Queen so willfully.

Although she is slightly different from the past - for example, her originally gentle and tolerant eyes are no longer as gentle as before.Those silver-white pupils were filled with the consciousness of ravaging the world, but at least Cang Yin's spirit didn't fade from her body.

Chris has always believed that kindness cannot save the world.The kindness extended to everyone will only dull one's mind, and will kill oneself sooner or later.

In her opinion, Cang Yin is sharp.It should be the color of steel, it should be the color of war—it should be the color of swords, it should be shields, it should be the color of weapons capable of taking human life.

If it was her own standpoint, she would have been able to offer her loyalty up to now.

But now she is an earl, the patron saint of 800 people, and she cannot surrender to others rashly.Not even if that person is the new king they've been waiting for.

"You said that you are Cangyin's successor—"

After a long time, the Countess of Bloodthroat calmed down and asked, "So, what do you think the Cangyin spirit is?"

Other titles may have a slight intimidating effect on the factions who deny the existence of the new king, but this is the only thing Chriss noticed.

The spirit of Cangyin is the heart of Ercatel.Without that, Elcarter wouldn't be Elcarter anymore.

"If the Cangyin spirit..."

Roland was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help lowering his head in thought.

That's right, I already have the Cangyin Seal.But what is the Cangyin spirit?

resist.

Never admit defeat.

If we talk about the essence of Cang Yin's spirit, this is the most convenient and correct answer.In other words, this is the so-called right argument.

But if we talk about the spirit of Cangyin from a deeper level, it is enlightenment.

When Roland and Roman accepted the call of the Eye of Orm and came to the world of Farnes, they had the awareness of the end of the world to face the invasion of the dusk species.Therefore, Roland also understands what the so-called Cangyin spirit is.

Even if they foresee a future of infinite despair and clearly understand that the nature of the world is endless terror, the people of Cang Yin still will not feel despair because of this.

Because they have already realized it.

"Even if fate is doomed, even if there is no possibility of any change in the ending, even if everything is so hopeless, even if all struggles are just a mantis arm, but as long as you have the awareness that it doesn't matter if you sacrifice yourself, fight and resist until the end. So far, I will never admit defeat, never give up even a chance, never give up a little bit of hope, and try my best to resist—”

That is the spirit of Cang Yin.

Roland concluded this.

Even if you know you will die tomorrow, as long as you have the awareness in your heart, you will not be afraid.

Even civilians without any power, once forced into a desperate situation, must tear a piece of flesh from the enemy before death.

In the face of terror and despair, they don't panic, they are conscious, they hug their children calmly, and they go to death happily singing songs. This is the spirit of Cangyin.

The war a thousand years ago lasted ten years.From the mountains of Fararo to the woodlands of Caral, from the tundra of Suze to the swamps of Titan, the blood of Elcate's warriors nearly spilled across the northern kingdoms.Those dry lands are now as smooth as mud, and you can vaguely smell blood just by stepping on them.

To this day, the warrior's spirit still haunts the land.If you come there with strong drinks and delicious food, you might see a reenactment of the war back then.

The blood-stained warrior picked up his blown head, held it in his arms, and charged.

Shouting slogans, even if there is only one person left, he will never back down.

There is no retreat, there is death but no life.

Facing the flaming rain of arrows that covered the sky, he roared like a dragon at the set up gun array, and he didn't fall down until his body was pierced by dense arrows.

Soldiers are on the way to charge until they die.Even if you die, you die with pride. In the face of death, you don't even bother to blink.

The will that never yields, the silver that never breaks.

"In my opinion, Cang Yin's will is the will to resist, and Cang Yin's hymn is the hymn of the rebels."

Roland recited forcefully, word by word: "What a desperate fate, a doomed future, as long as I can't be killed, I will resist, as long as I am still alive, I will resist - until I die, until I am crushed .”

"If you want to talk about why, because we are all weak. We have nothing, can't do anything, and can't change anything. But even we are so weak, we still have teeth and nails. Even if we risk our lives, we can't To leave something behind, at least this level of awareness is required.”

"—I firmly believe that even the weak have the right to resist fate."

Ah, that's right, exactly—

Chris wanted to respond in this way, but she was so excited that she couldn't speak at all.

She was sobbing.
