Chapter 37: Old Knowledge
β¦β¦ Dead crow?
Roland was shocked in his heart. Maleos's words set off a huge wave in Roland's heart.
How did the Marquis of Saya recognize his profession? What is his purpose in showdown with Roland at this moment? Is he friend or foe? Why did he ask Helga to find a druid? Did he know about Roland's existence in the first place? If so, how did he know Roland's whereabouts? If not, why was Helga looking for a druid in the first place?
And then there's the fundamental question - why did he have to find the crow?
As the sword of the Sleeping Mentor and the most pious executioner in the world, the Death Crows are just as impressive as their namesake. Even in the future, when there are more crows, ordinary people will not have any special feelings when they see crows except for fear and bad luck. It's as if these dark and cold crows are ready to take their own lives at any moment.
Roland didn't think there was any job that only a crow could do. The skill that the crow is good at, in general, is probably only one that kills.
But if the Marquis of Saya wants to kill someone, where is the need to find a dead crow with great fanfare? He himself is an instructor of the dumb blade army, a general, and a marquis. If he wanted to kill someone, he couldn't do too much.
And even if Marquis Saya really asked for this, I'm afraid Roland could only regretfully refuse him.
As a dead crow, Roland is not able to kill whoever he wants.
The essence of the crows is the extension of the teacher's obliteration power in the human world, and they are immortal as entities on the earth with the teacher's power, and as agents who implement the teacher's erasure power. Therefore, they must not be biased when they kill.
For example. The crow can kill tens of thousands of people with the plague for the sole purpose of killing a few of them; It can also be used with frying. Bullets and poison. The drug implicates innocent people. But in any case, the crow should not help anyone to kill without the permission of the guru, not even if it is a sinner who is full of evil.
In a nutshell. When suing a crow to kill someone, there must not be any bias, and you can't choose who to kill or not to kill because of personal likes and dislikes. They kill people just to fulfill the task of the mentor. And the reason why the Guru wants to kill these people is because their lives are exhausted.
To put it more explicitly, there will be people who will not survive if they live. So God doesn't want them to live anymore.
From this point of view, Roland is a doer for heaven. Now the mentor has given Roland the task of "shutting 'them' up". In the process of completing the task, no matter how many people Roland accidentally injured, as long as he has a good reason, at least with the mentor, he is innocent.
But let's say Roland poisoned the water in the city. After the medicine, if the antidote was given to her because the girl next to her was eye-catching, Roland would have a big accident.
That's because. What Roland represents is "death" itself. And death, as the most unshakable fairness in this world, will surely befall everyone equally. If death had a self-will, and would choose the people to take away at will according to personal preferences, the world would undoubtedly be in chaos. And this is also something that the mentor will never allow.
Specifically, after Roland advances to the Golden Rank, his "Mourning Chant" trait will become "Death Incarnate". Anyone killed by Roland, whether killed by chanting or not, is considered to have died and has lost most of the possibility of resurrection.
β¦β¦ No, slowly.
Roland frowned suddenly.
No, Marquis Saya wants Roland to kill some undead, right?
If this is the case, in this day and age, I am afraid that only Roland can really do it.
Can be both. Roland is also the new king of Elcat, and unless the factions are opposed, Roland has no position to help Marquis Saya destroy the undead.
Let's just ask what the situation is.
But after Roland asked, he got a rather ambiguous answer: "Almost." β
ββ¦β¦ Almost? β
Roland blinked blankly.
Yes is yes. Wrong is wrong - what is the case?
"First of all, Mr. Roland, I want to apologize to you first." Marquis Saya said apologetically to Roland, "The name of that lord...... It's the name of the adult who told me who you were. I can't tell you anyway. β
Because I've already promised that side first.
Roland nodded, indicating that he could understand.
Then the Marquis of Saya breathed a sigh of relief. A light smile appeared for a moment. But then he tightened his face again: "Mr. Roland...... I'm sorry, but what I'm going to say next is more important and doesn't fit ......."
"I understand, Lord Marquis."
Roland nodded gently, drew a cross on his forehead with his right hand, pressed it on his heart, and said solemnly: "This matter will come from my ears, and will never come out of my mouthβI promise in the name of my mentor." β
The moment Roland's words fell, a faint gray mark flashed on Roland's forehead.
Even if Roland is the Mentor's chosen man, he must be held accountable for his oath.
However, Roland also secretly kept a hand.
For example, Roland's oath only includes "not from me", but it does not say that Roland cannot deliberately let others guess. And Roland only said "in the name of the mentor", but did not say the punishment he was going to suffer.
To be treacherous, Roland has nothing to refute. But with Roland's character, he would never easily entrust his trust to others.
And looking at Marquis Saya's reaction, he obviously knew Roland's careful thoughts, but he just laughed it off.
Roland's eyes narrowed slightly. He was also aware of the anomaly of the Marquis of Sayya.
The Marquis of Saya himself was definitely not stupid, and the reaction itself said something about it. But Roland didn't break it either, just quietly waited for Maleos to speak.
"I suspect that the lord of Richero is bewitched by the devil. Confused...... Either that, or he's a "
As Roland expected, Maleos was big news as soon as he opened his mouth.
ββ¦β¦ Is there any evidence? β
Roland's face turned serious.
Because Roland clearly remembered that the lord of Richero was a very normal local nobleman. He has never had anything to do with cults.
In other words, either Maleos is lying, or history has changed.
In either case, Roland should not ignore it.
Faced with Roland's question, Marquis Saya sighed deeply and took a sip of black tea.
Then he explained in a low voice, "Here's the problem...... I don't have proof, and I don't want anyone to know about it. β
"Because...... I know the devil. (To be continued.) )
