Baron Seraka is still busy and fulfilled today.

In the diocese of Saint-Layan, Baron Selaka's reputation is arguably the best in the region.

In terms of industriousness and conscientiousness, there is no nobleman in the whole diocese who has done better than him. The Marquis of Faun even praised Baron Seraka by name at the parish councils on several occasions, and gradually began to assign some very confidential matters to Baron Seraka.

In addition to his duties as a nobleman, he was also a priest of the God of Contracts, and he made great contributions to Ra.

Even just a few days ago he got the order of appointment of the district bishop.

This is, of course, the diocese of the Titan Empire.

Even though there are churches of Ra everywhere except the Duchy of Carral, the god of contract is not very popular in Bansa, which is almost monopolized by Tyre and Sivir.

Objectively speaking, this letter of appointment from the God of Contract is not very tempting. Confusion.

As a hereditary baron of Bansa, he still has a considerable degree of power in Bansa, emphasizing respect for the superiors.

If he had gone to Titan and become a diocesan bishop, his status in Titan would still be inferior to that of Bansa.

This is not a contradiction.

The first thing to know is that Titan is a polytheistic country. There are seven gods who can set up churches in the capital of Titan alone, and there are many weaker gods scattered throughout the various regions of Titan.

The minds of the Titans were relatively enlightened and forward-thinking. Because the divine power and the royal power check and balance each other, the large and small nobles who were fought for by both sides at the same time had a lot of power.

At the suggestion of the God of Contract, Titan had been partially parliamentary since 200 years ago. Although the emperor still had a veto. But all nobles also had the right to speak and vote in parliament. If more than two-thirds of the people passed a resolution, even the emperor had to take their opinion into account; If they unanimously oppose a certain policy of the emperor. Then the policy will be forcibly abolished.

And the point is, in the pre-God council. The status of all nobles was equal. All nobles have the right to put forward bills, and in each bill, all nobles have and only one vote. This weakened the rights of the old nobles, and in the continuous replenishment of new blood, the younger and foolish nobles continued to dilute the rights of the old nobles.

In this passionate country, it can be said that a new tradition is passed down every day, and a new idea is born every day. For some old people, it is a country full of turmoil, but for young people. This is a paradise for them to achieve revenge.

At the same time, the entertainment of the Titans was very rich: from poets, singers, circuses, and theater troupes, to the Colosseum, hunting grounds, and dueling rings. Under the protection of the gods, almost everyone did not have to worry about food and clothing, and they began to have the minimum survival guarantee.

Because of all these advantages, the Titan people are undoubtedly quite proud. They have always claimed that Titan is a civilized country - and only Titan is a civilized country. All the countries north of Titan are collectively referred to as the "Northern Wilds", and many young people even confuse the Northern Wilds with the deserts north of Suze.

In their eyes, Titan is the center of the world.

This superiority can even be seen in the name Titan. The full name of the Titan Empire was Titansvina. The name means "beyond the blessed land."

And the so-called blessed land refers to Elkat before it was destroyed.

However, Elcater is not without its flaws.

As the old people accuse, the country of Titan is too chaotic.

The emperor and the pope were at loggerheads, and the nobles who had been co-opted by both sides were divided into two factions and turned against each other. In this passionate country. Assassinations and unrest have even become a daily occurrence in some areas, and it is not surprising that even street fires are occurring.

Every year, the emperor will directly appoint more than a dozen outstanding young people to become nobles, and some big nobles will also divide land and titles to those who defect to him. There will also be wealthy merchants or wealthy bishops who can buy small titles. But even so, the number of nobles who appear at the pre-god council each year is still the same. Even in recent years, it has become less and less.

It was not that some nobles abstained, but that a significant number of nobles were assassinated on their way to the council or before that. Even the nobles who are also close to the royal family. There are also different parties within the body; And the aristocracy who was close to the gods had their own beliefs.

The Titan Empire can be said to be a country that grew up in infighting. In the midst of this level of confusion, all sorts of cultists mixed with the nobility could not be detected at all.

However, none of these problems were at all a problem in front of Seraka.

Seraka cautiously rolled up the scroll in front of him, and exhaled deeply, his face showing obvious satisfaction.

"Really...... That's great. ”

He picked up the scroll and kissed it again and again, his eyes full of fascination: "Great...... Titan finally sent me a letter......"

"And how are you feeling right now?"

Without warning, a gentle voice sounded behind him.

However, Baron Seraka did not have the slightest surprise.

"Of course it's great! It doesn't get any better than that! ”

He shouted praise, turned his head to look directly at the black-robed man who suddenly appeared behind him: "I'm tired of this old-fashioned, boring and lazy country - they don't even know what they want to do!" What's the point of meaninglessly honoring those in high positions? With such a group of old immortals pressed on it, some young people who really have ideas can't display their talents at all! ”

"Stereotypical! Rotten! Warlike into madness! Sooner or later, the country will be ruined! It must be wise to withdraw now! ”

Seraka did not shy away from looking at the man standing behind him, wrapped in a black robe, giving him a sense of threat, and showed a characteristic smile of a merchant: "I haven't heard of anyone else escorting the herald here...... So, you must have been an adult who secretly followed the herald here, right? ”

"So what?"

The short man shrouded in black robe was noncommittal to Seraka's claims.

Baron Seraka smiled smugly, "Then you don't have to kill me. I have longed for His Majesty the Emperor for a long time, and you can bind me and send me before the Emperor - I will prove my loyalty to His Majesty. And if you have to try my strength, I'll prove me."

"Oh? Aren't you a believer in Rah? ”

The black-robed man's voice was full of mockery.

Seraka shook his head and said unceremoniously, "I'm not a believer in any gods. I just admired Ra's teachings. And I'm not a bishop, I'm a cardinal - that doesn't mean how much Ra pities me, even if he changes gods. This can only be said that I am talented. ”

"Well, but you still have to keep your faith in Ra. So that you can give ...... to His Majesty the Emperor"

The black-robed man nodded in agreement, then reached out to take off his hood.

Then, at the moment when Seraka's attention focused on the black-robed man, his whole body shook violently, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

He looked down and found an illusory and beautiful huge sword blade running through his ****, from his collarbone to his intestines.

If it was an ordinary sword, as a golden rank, his body that could already be elementalized would naturally not be injured.

However, a silver-gray light pierced the blade. Seraka felt that his soul was sucked by the giant sword, and his whole body could not move, and the silver halo that spread out under the feet of the black-robed man in front of him made him unable to perform a single magic spell, and could only die in endless silence.

"It's a shame. If you live another five or six years, maybe you can really subvert Bansa...... But, Syraka the Apostate, rest in peace. ”

The black-robed man spoke slowly, slowly removing his hood, revealing an incomparably delicate countenance—it mesmerized Seraka.

However, he was speechless. (To be continued.) )
