Dimensional Codex

Where there is light, there is darkness.

Country of the Holy Order is a vast and beautiful country, but this does not mean that it is heaven. Where humans gather, darkness and evil will always breed, even the Country of the Holy Order is no exception.

Korhal City.

This is a city on the border. On the surface, it is not at all the seriousness and seriousness of a border city. On the contrary, the prosperous and elegant buildings and the rolling villas make it look here. It looks more like a holiday resort. The green waters of Aoyama, the clean and tidy streets and the tall city wall make all this look extremely luxurious and beautiful.

But right now, those murderous-looking soldiers broke the silence of all this.

“They’re here again.”

Sitting in the tavern, watching the fully armed soldiers walk down the street, a black clothed man said with a low smile. He raised his glass, took a sip of ale, and then sneered.

“Look, do they look like a group of wild dogs that were chased out by the Master?”

“What’s the solution? After all, I heard that the one who died this time was the City Lord. Waste son.”

The woman sitting next to him shook the head, although she said that she was rather helpless, she also had a smile on her face.

“How did he die this time?”

“I heard that he accidentally fell from the balcony and fell to his death.”

Said till Here, the woman clicked meaningfully.

“Many people have witnessed it with their own eyes.”

“Yes…”

Hearing the woman’s answer, the man dressed in black cloth was sneaked .

“Accidents…everywhere, our Death God-sama is really amazing.”

“Be quiet, fool.”

The woman stepped on the man’s foot fiercely, making his expression look less weird.

“You don’t know what low-key is? Although the rumor is only a rumor, it is not just a rumor! Be careful, if you talk nonsense again, you might be the next one to suffer an accident! “

hearing this, the man suddenly looked serious and he didn’t dare to speak anymore.

All this starts with the “Death Exchange” half a month ago.

In this Korhal City, there is a rumored “Death Exchange”. Of course, this is not a meeting place for undead mage, and it has nothing to do with hell. In fact, this is a Dark gathering place of assassins. Assassins from various forces or no forces will take over the mission in Death Exchange and then assassinate the target. Of course, all of this is confidential. Those commissions will be placed on specially treated wooden boards, and only assassins are allowed to take these commissions. Of course, Death Exchange also has strict restrictions and hierarchical systems. Those assassins who complete missions will be promoted before they are eligible for more dangerous missions.

And just half a month ago, something happened in Death Exchange.

An unknown assassin took a commission to assassinate the city’s guard captain.

This was not a major event, so the assassins didn’t care, but just one day later, Death Exchange confirmed the death of the guard captain.

Not violent death on the way home, nor disappearing in a dark corner, but drunk and fell off the city gate, and then “splat” in full view Ground.

Then… there is naturally no more.

No one takes this seriously, a small city guard captain, and it’s well-known that he likes to drink too much, because he accidentally stepped on a loose brick after drinking too much, and then fell. It is also normal to fall to death.

But what made everyone didn’t expect was that shortly after the guard captain’s death, the power of attorney returned to Death Exchange, and it was a request for confirmation.

In other words, the guard captain was killed by an assassin not because of an accident?

Death Exchange can become a well-known underground gathering place of assassins in the dark. Of course, it has its own abilities. They invited the most powerful divination mage on their side, and then proceeded with the death of the guard captain After prophesying and investigating, the conclusion is that… the guard captain did die by accident.

Since the factual evidence is solid, it is naturally impossible to let the little thief of fish in troubled waters succeed, so Death Exchange naturally revoked the commission. Of course, they did not find the assassin who accepted this commission. At the time, they just thought that this little thief was going to take the opportunity to make a mess, so they deliberately hid their heads and exposed their tails. Especially after Death Exchange revoked the commission, the assassin did not come out to explain, which made Death Exchange more and more believe that the other party may just be good luck. After receiving the commission, the commissioned target accidentally died, so he planned to mix the reward.

And after that, strange things happened.

In Death Exchange, there was a connection where someone accepted the commission, and the commissioned assassination targets all died due to various accidents. These commissions also returned to the exchange for confirmation after the mission target died, but the exchange’s foretellers investigated the results of each commission…accidental death.

once or twice can be regarded as an accident, but there are a lot of similar “accidents” in a short period of time, it is not an accident.

The Chief-In-Charge of Death Exchange is not a fool either. Their divination mage is the mage of a legend rank, but even the opponent cannot detect any signs…How is this possible?

The assassins of this World are very difficult to deal with, but they are also assassins after all. To put it bluntly, they are still the existence of a critical strike hidden in the dark. To say that the biggest advantage of the assassins here is patience and assassination everywhere. They can wait for more than half a year for a target, looking for the weak spot of the target all the time, and seeking one strike certain kill. They can also use their own weapons full of curses or magical power to break the opponent’s defenses, but even so, they still need to do it themselves.

Because of this, these assassins generally rely on special means to conceal themselves, and at the same time, assassins will not take out their starcrest casually. In other words, the assassination in this World is known to everyone, but at most they don’t know who the assassin is.

But… this assassin’s “assassination” is no longer an assassination.

This is more like the declaration of Death God.

Of course, at first Death Exchange also not at all paid too much attention to this “Assassin”, because although the people killed by the other party were not low in status, their strength was very weak. If it is a person whose strength is far beyond them, it is not impossible to play them to death with this powerful force, at most it is evil that’s all.

However, when a high rank mage in a certain family was assassinated, things immediately deteriorated.

Of course, according to the person who checked at the time, the mage suddenly lost control of spell when he released the magic, and then the backlash himself caused him to unexpectedly die. From the beginning to the end, the mage showed no signs of mental control, and after inspecting the corpse, the temple priest also said that the corpse was not poisoned or taking some medicine that interfered with the spirit.

If you change to another place, I am afraid it will only be regarded as a high-level mage error, and will not care too much.

But Death Exchange doesn’t think so.

Because just before the death of this high-level mage, his assassination commission was taken away by the “Death God”.

And when the senior mage died, the “commission” was sent back.

For a time, the entire executives of Death Exchange were shocked.

Although in the eyes of ordinary people, assassins have an advantage over mage, but in fact, the last thing an assassin wants to match is mage, and it is a high-level mage. Because after reaching the middle level, mage will use various methods to store defense spells to deal with emergencies, whether it is secretly assassinating, poisoning, or even if people around mage want to use him when he is not defended. Raids are impossible things. Once a mage is prepared, the next bad luck must be the assassin.

So for those powerful assassins, let them assassinate amage, it is better to assassinate those high-level warriors or sword masters and even druids. After all, they still have a certain degree of certainty in the face of these professions, but in the face of mage, they basically rely on their face to bet whether the opponent is really stupid enough to be killed by an assassin.

Of course, assassins generally have a dark face……the end, naturally, there is no need to ask more.

But right now, is there an assassin who can kill a high rank mage in such a weird way and with no difficulty? More importantly, he was not discovered how he did it!

This immediately attracted the attention of Death Exchange, and even the three legend rank powerhouses inside Death Exchange were all dispatched to stay in front of the request billboard to find out the assassin.

But then, a terrifying scene happened.

Another commission quietly disappeared, and then with the “accidental death”, that commission also returned to the Death Exchange again. The problem is that during this whole process, the three powerhouses did not find anything at all!

This means that the other party escaped the joint search of a powerful divination mage, a legend assassin and a legend thief, as if entering and leaving the Death Exchange at will, as if entering no man’s land, but But no one found out!

Is this still a human! ?

As things gradually fermented, an “invisible Death God” appeared in Death Exchange was also widely circulated, and many people have heard of it. Because of this, they were even more frightened. There was even someone who bought the assassin and wanted to know what the “invisible Death God” was going to do, so as to investigate and prevent it. But… all this is useless.

“……………invisible Death God?”

The officer in armor lifts the head and looks at the subordinates of the paled face in front of him.

“Isn’t this a normal accident? You and I witnessed it with your own eyes.”

“Of course, Conan-sama…”

p>

Hearing the officer’s question, the attendant in front of him was also sweating.

“As you said, we were also invited to the ball at the time, and whether it was you or me, I saw that person’s…absurd behavior…”

Said till here, the attendant’s face also showed a hint of disapproval. Because the City Lord’s waste son who died was a horrible person who loved playing with women. In fact, when they went to the dinner party hosted by the City Lord this time, they also witnessed how annoying the prostitute was. After he failed to molest the maid, he planned to force her away. During this process, the swinger suddenly stepped on the smooth floor and lost his balance, and then hit the railing of the balcony on the second floor. Perhaps it was because the railing was broken in disrepair over the years, and fell to death in full view.

Of course, Knight Conan saw this scene. He was planning to go over and stop that idiot’s stupidity. Although he is now retired, as the former temple Knight, he is also impossible to be indifferent to such things.

Not to mention that this idiot son’s reputation in the city is quite bad. After his death, the whole city can almost be said to be a celebration. If not for the City Lord-sama, at this moment it is estimated that the streets will start It’s a celebration.

But now, the City Lord came to him and said he wanted to search for a “Death God”?

What the hell is that?
