"Look, with black hair and black eyes, he really can't be a descendant of the Rhodes family."
"That's right, maybe that bitch stole someone somewhere."
"And he stole it like a pariah! Such dirty black hair, such ugly black eyes, oh, God, forgive me for my dirty guess."
"Hehe, Mrs. Levin, what did you guess?"
"I'm thinking, isn't it rare to see black hair and black eyes? Could it be... the black wolf dog that bitch likes to keep around her most?"
"Oh, my God, Mrs. Levine, you are so..."
"However, it is indeed possible. I heard that the black wolf dog was cut into pieces by His Royal Highness Duke Rhodes."
"Oh really?"
"Of course, my cousin is one of the stewards of the Rhodes family."
"What about that bitch? What about that bitch who tried to become a noble as a commoner?"
"She? That bitch will naturally not feel comfortable. She and her bastard have been locked in the Santa Fe Church. Alas, our Lord Duke is still too kind and kind to let the blasphemy go.
The bitch who won the glory of the Rhodes family."
"You're actually still alive? What a monster!"
In the residence of Duke Rhodes, two ladies who were born into minor aristocrats but were lucky enough to marry into wealthy families gathered together and talked and laughed softly about the most widely spread and most frequently circulated news in Neverwinter City during this period.
Lord Duke Rhodes, one of the four great dukes in the empire, his newly married wife actually gave birth to a black-haired, black-eyed bastard!
Black hair and black eyes, that is the image of the Demon King mentioned in ancient documents. Of course, no one would tell the Duke out of curiosity that your son is the reincarnation of the Demon King! Even the bishop of the Vatican in the City of Neverwinter would not
Dare to do this.
But out of jealousy, out of common hatred for a commoner, the aristocratic circle unanimously regarded this as a big joke in the Duke's Palace! The child with black hair and black eyes must be a bastard! A mixture of commoners and unknown people
A bastard of savage blood!
Under the curses and abuses of countless people, the bastard and her mother spent fifteen springs and autumns peacefully in the Santa Fe Church.
Until the arrival of the 16th spring and autumn.
The bastard opened his eyes and looked at the world indifferently.
It has been a week since he came to this world, and he roughly knows his identity and the embarrassment caused by his identity.
"Mother."
His name is Yunxuan. Of course, this is only his name in his previous life. In this life, he only has one Christian name - Marcos. As for the surname Rhodes, it is a pity that he has only visited him less than twice in the past fifteen years.
Father, I have never considered giving him this great surname.
And Yunxuan, who inherited Marcos' memory, was not interested in this strange father, even if he was a noble being beneath one person in the empire and above ten thousand people.
"What's wrong, Marcos?" A soft female voice came over.
This is Yun Xuan's mother, but she is also a beautiful adult woman whose nobility and beauty cannot be concealed even though she is only wearing coarse clothes.
She loved Marcos deeply, even though Marcos ruined her reputation and had to live in this small Santa Fe church.
Yun Xuan opened his mouth and said: "I will be 16 years old tomorrow. Will Father come?"
"Marcos..." The beautiful woman's eyes turned red and she approached Yunxuan feebly.
"I have asked your godfather to inform your father. The 16-year-old birth ceremony is the most important day for a man. Tomorrow, no one can stop the Eye of Truth from witnessing everything. As your father...he will definitely
Be there, and by that time, you will definitely be able to successfully inherit the bloodline ceremony of the Rhodes family, and be recognized by the holy gods as the true bloodline successor of the Rhodes family!"
Yunxuan comforted his mother, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
"Perhaps the birth ceremony is the only gift for my mother. She is kind and helpless and can only hope that she can prove the purity of her bloodline through the ceremony, but... even if it is proved, what can it do? Ten
It is impossible to stop the cracks caused by six years of time."
What's more, at this time, Yunxuan is carrying more than just family ties. There is also a huge secret hidden deep in his heart, and the best time to reveal the secret is tomorrow...
But Yunxuan didn't want to make his mother sad. Not only the memory of Marcos, but just a week of getting along with him also made Yunxuan, who lacked maternal love in his childhood, have a deep sense of identification with this mother who had boundless maternal love.
The living environment in Santa Fe Church is very boring and terrible. Although there is plenty of food and water, it is definitely not delicious. The clothes are ordinary civilian clothes. The only thing that is different from civilians is that I can get something.
Guidance from famous godfathers...
Father Andes is also Yunxuan's godfather. As the original owner of this church, he has been taking care of the poor mother and son. As for Marcos, he has taught him various skills since he was very young.
Such as the techniques of combat and the mysteries of magic.
Although the godfather has not said anything, Marcos has already understood it secretly. I am afraid that the godfather has already known in his heart for a long time that even if he really passed the ritual test, he would not be able to survive in the Duke's Palace. And those skills will be
Become the guarantee for your future survival.
"Mother..." Looking at his sleeping mother, Yunxuan sighed and returned to his room. He knew what his mother was thinking, but those degenerate and decadent nobles would really make this kind-hearted poor person
Does the woman get her wish?
When the morning sun shines all over the earth.
Santa Fe Church welcomed its first guests who did not belong to the Duke's Palace.
They were priests sent by the Holy See. Under the leadership of a black-robed priest, they crowded into this small church.
The head of the black-robed priest, whose face was completely covered in a black cloak, just whispered in a hoarse voice: "Andes, after today your godfather's responsibilities are over."
Andes stood up and saluted slightly: "Dear Father Cini, are you here for my godson?"
"He?" The black-robed priest glanced at Yun Xuan casually and said coldly: "It's just by the way. I'm here for you, Andes."
"After today, you have no reason to refuse the invitation of our trial court."
"You have a killing heart, Andes, you will be an excellent killing priest!" the black-robed priest said easily.
"It turns out that the priests have arrived." A gentle voice sounded.
Greeted by two attendants, a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous noble robe and a golden dragon crest strode into the church.
"Is it Count Noel Rhodes? I didn't expect that you would be here to witness this moment. I thought it would be His Highness the Duke himself." Andes's face looked a little ugly.
Earl Noel Rhodes smiled softly, and the mustache on his mouth made Yunxuan feel sick.
"For the family, this is a trivial matter. Naturally, the head of the family does not need to be present in person. After all, the result is already obvious." Earl Noel Rhodes saluted the black-robed priest.
"Please begin, respected priest." Count Noel Rhodes said softly.
The black-robed priest nodded, and then slowly came to Yun Xuan.
"Young man, are you sure you want to accept this incarnation ceremony?" The black-robed priest's voice was full of majesty, and ordinary people would be afraid of being suppressed by its aura and would not dare to move at all.
But Yun Xuan looked at the mysterious black-robed priest with wide eyes: "I accept God's test on me. This is what I hope and what everyone hopes to see."
"Yes." The black-robed priest nodded slightly in approval. This black-haired young man looked a little bit like the Rhodes family.
However, who gave him black hair and black eyes? This is original sin.
“O God, hallowed be your name and that of the Son of Man! Give us this day our daily bread; forgive us our sins as we forgive the sins of others; keep us from temptation and deliver us from our sins; God
Ah, you are eternal. Your kingdom comes, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
"Please send down the holy light of judgment to your devout servants and show the truth of this person before our eyes." Heipao read the prayer loudly, and his fanatical voice sounded particularly strange to Yunxuan.
Harsh.
"The Eye of Truth!"
The dazzling light surrounded Yunxuan, and then a golden eye-shaped pattern appeared above his head flickered, and the majestic voice echoed in the Santa Fe Church came down:
Listening to the appraisal results of the Eye of Truth, there was a soft clang.
Everyone else couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the place where the inappropriate sound was coming from.
"Mother," Yun Xuan could not help but whisper.
"Thank God! Son, our innocence has finally been cleared."
"Ms. Anna..." Andes's eyes dimmed, and he could clearly see that these people didn't care about the outcome at all.
All they wanted was to drive the mother and son out of the Duke's Palace completely.
The result this time only made Earl Noel Rhodes' face become even more ugly. But this is nothing. As a well-educated nobleman, he is very good at making his voice sound calm: "
Father, we seem to have seen the results."
The black-robed priest nodded slightly: "Yes, God informed us of the result."
Yun Xuan had already noticed something was wrong, and he looked at his mother.
But he found a look of hope on his mother's face, staring at the black-robed priest with great anticipation.
16 years of waiting, 16 years of hope...
It was in the next sentence of the black-robed priest.
The black-robed priest gently put his hands in a fork shape on his chest and said, "That boy is a bastard from the Rhodes family! He is not worthy of having the surname Rhodes! With the authority bestowed upon the Holy See by God and His Majesty the Emperor,
, I hereby announce~!”
"Marcos! Not allowed to become a noble!"
"No~!" The mother went crazy. She shouted in a heart-breaking voice. She ran up to hug the black-robed priest.
But the black-robed priest could not let him succeed. With a wave of his hand, a shock wave sent the mother flying away.
"Mother!" Yun Xuan quickly hugged his mother, gritting his teeth and looking at the black-robed priest.
"This is the Holy See? A Holy See that is fair and righteous and will not tell lies?"
"That's enough, Marcos! Father...he didn't lie." Andes strode in front of Yunxuan and the black-robed priest. Looking at the poor mother and son, he could only choose this method to protect them.
.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Yunxuan discovered something was wrong with his mother. The black-robed priest's attack was not serious, but at this time, his mother had become haggard, and her eyes had lost the last hope.
.
"Son, I'm really sorry. Your mother still didn't get anything for you in the end." The mother stretched out her right hand tremblingly and touched Yun Xuan's face. "I am an unqualified mother."
"No, you are the best and kindest mother." Yun Xuan quickly shook his head and said, "It was me who caused you trouble!"
"Oh!" A trace of black blood slowly flowed from the corner of the mother's mouth.
"Godfather!"
Andes sighed: "Mrs. Anna has always had a serious heart problem. I apologize. Marcos, I...can't do anything."
"Damn it!" Looking at his mother who was getting weaker and weaker, Marcos stood up suddenly, his hands burning with flames.
"Pa!" Andes suddenly took a step forward and firmly held Marcos' shoulders!
"Marcos Rhodes!" Andes shouted loudly: "Even if no one knows your name, I will still call you Marcos Rhodes!"
"This is the name your mother likes to hear the most." Andes pressed Yunxuan tightly, looking a little excited: "And what you need to do now is just to accompany your mother for the last few days, and then leave the Duke's Palace and leave.
This city, no! Better to leave the country."
"Think about your mother. What she really wants is for you to live." Andes' words made Yunxuan clench his hands.
A trace of blood flowed from his palm, which was caused by using excessive force and piercing the skin of his palm with his nails.
Tears slowly fell down, Yunxuan looked at Andes: "Why, my father will be absent, why, even my mother's last wish is not willing to be fulfilled, just because she is a commoner, just because I have black hair and black eyes
!"
"There are also the Holy See, and those nobles who are so corrupt that they have completely forgotten their humanity." Yun Xuan gritted his teeth: "Godfather~! I will become the king! The strongest king!"
"sure!"
"I believe you will be called king." Andes sighed, not knowing how to comfort the angry young man.
"Call me king?" Yunxuan shook his head slightly: "No! You are wrong, they will call me parricide!"
"What did you say!" Yun Xuan's voice was very low, but it did not prevent Earl Noer from hearing this shameless statement.
"I mean, you can call me the Patricide!" Yun Xuan looked at Count Noel without fear, without the slightest flinch in his eyes.
"You don't want to live anymore!" Earl Noel cursed, and the other priests of the Holy See also looked at Yunxuan with a hint of joking.
A useless man actually tried to kill his father, the Grand Duke of the Empire? Haha, even if they were to fight one on one, the Grand Duke of the Empire could kill this ignorant person with just a breath of air.
"You know, you have made a mistake, a big mistake." Yun Xuan trembled, with a hint of madness in his eyes.
"What are you doing!" Andes saw something was wrong with Yunxuan, stretched out his hands and pressed his shoulders and shouted: "You! You!"
"Godfather, wait a moment, can you listen to me, stand quietly, and don't resist?" Yun Xuan showed a faint smile and said to Andes...
"Resist? Resist what?" Father Andes was obviously confused.
Not only him, but no one else knew what Yunxuan was talking nonsense.
Yunxuan turned to look at the earl and said, "When I came here, I had concerns."
"That concern is the memory of this body and my mother."
Yunxuan said something that started to feel wrong and spread his hands.
"Now, I have nothing to worry about, and you! You will also face the judgment of the true God!"
Yun Xuan's face showed a look of madness: "Originally, because of that concern and the impact of this body on my memory, I had given up on this idea, but... now, I have to tear this thing apart even if I am shattered into pieces.
The space of the world, let the true order return to this world!"
"What!"
Everyone was shocked. Only the people from the Holy See had a solemn look on their faces. The black-robed priest even pulled out his silver sword and hoarsely said: "This man's words have blasphemed the gods. Andes, don't stop me. I
We must punish him on the spot!"
"No!" Andes came to his senses and stood in front of Yun Xuan: "He is my godson, and the crazy words he shouted out because he was obviously shocked cannot be taken seriously!"
After finishing speaking, Andes suddenly raised his head in alertness.
For a moment...
Fell into silence.
The sky in the City of Neverwinter is suddenly dark at this moment.
Then, streaks of light blue thunder and lightning staggered across the eastern sky, making bursts of roaring sounds.
And that Yunxuan automatically soared into the air without any wind, laughing loudly.
"Now! His Highness Selius, the great God of Order, the great and most powerful Pope! With my blood and my inheritance as the coordinates, when the power of this law is at its weakest, tear open the plane.
Seal, enter this world, and bring a new order to all living beings!"
boom!
Thunder and lightning became more frequent and the sound became louder. In this chaos, finally!
A huge, strange celestial phenomenon, like a black hole, suddenly appeared in the sky above the east side of the city of Neverwinter.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the strong men in the city.
A breathtakingly huge steel battleship slowly sailed out of this dark cave...
And what accompanied this battleship was the mighty power that was so thick and huge that it made one’s heart palpitate!
The power of true God!
The City of Neverwinter is a famous giant city in the empire.
At this moment, everyone felt that they heard him crying and trembling in a low voice under the terrifying battleship and divine power!
The Cult of Kosmos, the army that conquered other worlds, followed the torn space and Yun Xuan's loud call, shockingly!
