Dimensional Codex

“Clang…clang…”

The melodious bells echoed in the sky, and the entire Holy City was shrouded in the brilliance of the setting sun. In the distance, you can see scattered petals. And Pegasus Knight flying through the air. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the flickering metal giant on top of the cloud.

“Hey…”

A rickety silhouette leaned on a chair, and he lifts the head, staring at everything in front of him with a confused look, but it’s just long sighed. There is boundless depression and sorrow in it. Compared with the lively and joyous scene of all around, this place seems to be a dark place shrouded in shadows and completely abandoned by the gods.

Just like him.

Brand closes his eyes. The Knight Commander, who was once famous in the temple, has become another person at this moment. His blond hair turned yellow, like weeds that were about to wither in autumn, and his well-groomed hairstyle became messy, looking like a bird’s nest. Although the clothes he wears are considered luxurious, it can be seen from the stains that the clothes have not been washed for a long time.

For Brand, his current life is like hell.

Since that nightmare last winter, Brand’s life has been completely changed. His wife died tragically, and his sacred sword and power were taken back by Goddess. Not only that, after that, Brand was placed under house arrest by the temple. After all, he used force against Angel during the New Year festival in full view and intended to harm a Holy Spirit Knight. In any case, the temple must give a result.

Although it is said that Brand has a cause, this matter is of great importance after all. More importantly, the temple depends on Fang Zheng’s bearing — helplessly this uncle patted his butt and ran away. There is no chance for the temple to want to use Brand as a testimony of loyalty.

Finally, under the orders of the Pope, the Temple had no choice but to act impartially. They stripped Brand’s Knight Commander of the title and withdrew all the favors given to him. But the temple didn’t do it too well. Apart from letting Brand move out of the inner area of ​​Holy City, no one else took the opportunity to do anything.

But even so, Brand was hit hard. Although the temple not at all condemned Brand as a crime of “collusion with heresy,” but since then, all major covens used this matter to make use of this matter, which also led to Brand’s reputation in Holy City getting worse and worse. Although he has many friends, everyone still stands firm on the issue of belief.

Furthermore, Brand’s actions were not entirely without problems at the time. He used his power to overwhelm people when he came, and he also tried to attack Fang Zheng. All these things are in sight. The temple is If you want to wash it, you can’t wash it. It has to dare to say that Brand Paladin is just a bit grumpy. In fact, he still has a good heart… Well, I am afraid that it is not Goddess who will directly reveal its lair.

I don’t know if Goddess will do this, but Goddess has withdrawn the grant of Brand’s Blade of Justice and power. This is a solid fact, and it also shows Goddess’ attitude. Then the temple, as goddess’ spokesman, It is also impossible to work against Goddess!

In this case, Brand’s side is also a tree-falling macaque, and his attendants and servants are almost all devout believers. After hearing that Brand has been beaten as heresy by the temple After the news, he was frightened and ran away. In just several days, I went clean. And Brand was also discouraged and took care of some of his own things at random, so he left his original home and found a place to live in the outer city at will.

After that, Brand almost spent every day with alcohol. These days he has been faint so that Brand doesn’t know how long it has been… But he doesn’t care.

“haah…”

Brand extend the hand, I want to pick up the bottle on the table and pour myself a glass, but maybe it’s because I drank too much , His hand trembled slightly, and the wine bottle began to sway, and the drink poured out from it and scattered on the table. Brand squeezed the bottle tightly, trying to pour the drink into the glass, but after failing to connect several times, he angrily roared and threw the bottle against the wall next to him.

But the bottle of bad luck is not at all Reducto. On the contrary, a hand that emerged from the dark shadow quietly grabbed the bottle and placed it on the table. . At the same time, sweet laughter emerged from the darkness.

“Look, how sad, what used to be Blade of Justice, has now become a Messy Old Man who can’t even hold a bottle of wine…”

“I How many times have I said, get out of my house!”

Brand stared fiercely at the silhouette, and extended the hand to grab his side, trying to pull out his weapon. But after a catch, he realized that his weapon had already disappeared.

“hū hū hū ………”

While watching Brand’s actions, the silhouette chuckled again.

“It wasn’t like that when you were in bed before, Otou-sama…”

“Don’t call me that!”

hearing this, Brand suddenly complexion greatly changed, he stood up, staggered back, leaning against the wall with a blue face, as if he had seen some terrifying monster.

“I’m also really surprised, didn’t expect that the prestigious Blade of Justice actually had such an interest and thoughts about his own daughter. Is this why you fell? See Coming to Goddess is really gaze as if a torch. If you let a guy like you stay in the temple again, maybe something will go wrong. When the time comes, what will the temple be like?”

“Live, shut up………not like that! That’s you……”

“Really? Otou-sama……”

The slender silhouette walked up to Brand’s, extended the hand, stroking his face like a lover.

“Is this really not what you want? If it really is not, why didn’t you stop at that time? Otou-sama at that time was very rough, it has been always Inside… it swelled people’s stomachs. I still remember how Otou-sama shouted at the time? Would you like me to repeat it again?”

“…closed Mouth…”

“…Oh, my dear daughter, I love you so much, I finally got you, you are mine, I love you, let me experience it with you Happy in heaven…”

“…Shut up!!!”

Brand angrily roared, this time a turbulent wave of air broke out on his body, making that The shadow also couldn’t help but back away. But the dark shadow was not at all angry because of it, instead, she laughed out loud again.

“Sure enough, it’s the former Knight Commander. Even if you are deprived of the sacred force, your strength is also outstanding…”

“Stop sarcasm, I decided “

This time, Brand is long sighed.

“I join, can’t I join? Damn, I never thought that I would fall into hell one day… Then, if I join hell, you can really guarantee Bring back Connie’s soul?”

“Of course.”

The shadow chuckled.

“The power of my lord is not what Paladin like you, who only rolls around in the main plane, can imagine. It is your honor to see you, Paladin. Don’t think that you have sold it to Goddess. Li feels that he is amazing, the battle in hell is far beyond your imagination, but before that, I still need you to do one thing… to prove your determination and will.”

“…What’s the matter?”

“It’s very simple.”

While talking, the shadow extended the hand and put a dagger on the table. It was a dagger that looked a little dirty. The sheath on it was messyly entangled with thread balls. Even the handle looked like it was corroded by flesh and blood, fuse together after melting with metal.

“You may know that tonight the temple will host a banquet to celebrate their great victory in the North, and the legendary Savior will also appear. I need you to do it , Is to mix into the banquet, and then find an opportunity to pull this dagger out in front of him… Don’t worry, it is imprinted with the mark of our lord, the temple’s detection spell will not detect its existence.”

“………………”

Looking at the dagger in front of him, Brand said nothing, while Sombra pushed the dagger towards him.

“Why, what are you still hesitating? Don’t forget, who made you where you are today, don’t worry, our goal is only him alone… we can make a contract, you You should know that our devil obeys the agreement very much.”

“……………I understand.”

hearing this, Brand extend the hand, go and take it. dagger.

“Leave this to me.”
