quicksilver blood

Chapter 88
What woke Kakarit from his deep coma was a warm feeling from his right shoulder.

The feeling was a bit like a hand patted on his right shoulder, but there was a warm current flowing slowly all over his body, and the frostbitten body was washed by the warm current, giving off an unbearable itching.

Inexplicably, Kakarit thought of that benevolent adult.

At the beginning, his hand was patted on his shoulder like this.

He once said——

"you're not wrong."

A generous and gentle voice rang in his ears.

Yes, that's what he is...

--wrong!That's not an illusion!
Kakarit suddenly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, the familiar, kind, and generous figure stood quietly in front of him. Just standing here, the simple and ancient black robe seemed to separate the chaotic world behind him from this place.

...is that Lord Blighter?
Immediately, Kakarit burst into tears.

Feeling the rapid healing of the wounds on his body, feeling the warm hand dragging him back from the edge of hell, he couldn't help crying bitterly.

"You are saved." The black-robed man in front of Kakarit said softly and lowly.

"thanks, thanks……"

Kakarit knelt on the ground, his voice trembling.

He bit down on the three nails in his right hand and pulled them out violently. Black and sticky blood flowed rapidly from the wounds.

Kakarit felt the granulation buds on his hands slowly twist and connect, and itched violently, but he felt extremely happy in his heart.

Greedily sucking in the icy cold air with a bit of burnt air, tears streaming down his eyes.

Is this... what it feels like to be alive?

He raised his head and looked at Roland, feeling that he was so friendly and great, he couldn't help feeling an impulse in his heart——

"My lord... may 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."

"—Wait till I wear a ring on my left hand, and I will give you the right to kiss my ring."

------

"Casting the spell successfully, consumes four points of natural energy, the current natural energy is 26/30"

"Release the healing touch again."

Roland thought to himself.

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

In fact, when Roland saw the face of this "tramp", he almost burst out laughing.

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

Everyone knew that because the priest had to synchronize his spirit with the gods, the low-level priest's will was extremely fragile, and it was impossible to hide things under torture.

This situation will continue until the priest enters the silver rank, and only after the spiritual alienation can he be compensated.It is also 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 magic spells that confuse the mind, and they would easily be controlled by hostile forces.

So Roland chose the priest and asked him to leak the news about the brain-eating demon to the people on Qingguo Avenue.

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

But he didn't expect that the leader of Qingguo Avenue would be so stupid that he would not kill him after the torture.

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

It's just the life of one of his subordinates.I can't even bear this, it deserves it won't be a big deal.

Even if the domain that the Lord of Darkness is in charge of is not a good thing, he is still a righteous god after all, not an evil god.But torturing a righteous priest is a great crime no matter where it is, and it is considered light to convict a heretic and inject mercury.

After Roland used the healing touch for the third time, the tortured amateur assassin finally woke up.

The subsequent conversation was not in the slightest as Roland expected.

Roland pressed the priest's right shoulder hard not only to hide the aura of witchcraft, but also for other reasons.

That's a technique called "anchoring" in psychology.

I won't go into details. In short, 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 in physical contact, Roland even used the friendly technique that he had finally cooled down.

Sure enough, as Roland expected, the priest offered his allegiance immediately after calming down.

In Farnes, the left hand has a special meaning.

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

For example, wearing a ring on your little finger means you are widowed, wearing it on your middle finger means you are abstinent, etc.

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

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

For example, kissing the nobleman's ring means being able to get the knighthood, and kissing the bishop's ring is even a ceremony for the trainee priest to become a regular.

But to a priest, his allegiance has special meaning.

If he could only kiss his fingertips, it meant that he was putting Roland on the same level as the Lord of Darkness.In this case, he will be rejected by the Lord of Darkness, and the level of the priest will not be raised any more.

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, sir."

The priest of the Lord of Darkness kissed Roland's fingertips, then immediately prostrated himself on the ground, and replied respectfully.

"Then, Kakarit, you will now make my name known in this city."

The corners of Roland's mouth twitched slightly, 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 compassion here, and let them know , there is someone here who can forgive their sins.”

After Kakarite bowed his head respectfully and said yes, and took the order to leave, the old Joseph who was hiding in the crowd walked behind Roland with a complicated expression, and asked softly, "My lord, how did you do it?"

He was puzzled by Kakarit's inexplicable allegiance.

However, there is nothing easy to explain.

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

"what?"

Old Joseph asked confusedly. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Roland forcibly changing the topic, he still listened obediently.

To his surprise.

There was really some kind of water sound - and it wasn't too quiet.

Like a waterfall, something is rushing.

Listening to the sound... I really think it's coming from the underground waterway?

"It is true that there is a sound of water... What's the matter, my lord? This sound of water...does it mean something?"

Old Joseph realized that something was wrong, 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.

The strong uneasiness wrapped tightly around his heart like a poisonous snake.
