005, order and sin

Talos sent part of his will to the Terra plane for a very clear purpose, to collect faith, to grow the soul fire, and then to strip the second primordial desire [jealousy] from his body.

Having experienced jealousy's counterattack, especially after witnessing Remus's death, Talos did not dare to take anything lightly, and God knows when the second counterattack belonging to jealousy will come.

As for helping Hernan deal with Jerome, he used this time to gather additional information about the Terra plane, as well as the idea of testing the time ratio to the main matter plane.

If the time ratio is large enough, similar to the situation where the Afalon plane and the main matter plane are equal to one day a year, the expenditure of a few days is obviously very cost-effective, and maybe you can also gain the favor of a godly knight.

- The Terra plane is no better than the Afaron plane, and the nature of the divine envoy and the lower demon plane really helped Talos a lot, and if done correctly, the fact that he killed the villain Jerome together was enough to make his friendship with Hernan grow by leaps and bounds.

If the time ratio is very subtle or even synchronous, it is impossible to collect faith, and it is even less important to waste a few days, and it is a good thing to do it.

However, Hernan's efficiency was far higher than Talos had imagined, and two days later, in Sweetwater, the Knight of God's Cloud pointed to a speakeasy and said, "Assuming my mind is as good as it used to be, Jerome is here." ”

"Are you sure?" said Talos.

The Terra plane does not have a prophecy faction spell specifically used to find and locate people compared to the main material plane, nor does it have the Eye of the Gods based on real-time monitoring of the magic web, and there is no magic web ring that can realize instant communication, and it took two days to find the target that other godland knights did not find in months using primitive means, which Talos felt a little incredible.

"I've been committed to sending Jerome to the Shadow Dungeon since five years ago until he dies, and no one knows his habits, hobbies, and past better than I do. ”

After a while, the man's throat loosened a little, and he added, "I know him too well, as well as myself." ”

"Since you're so sure, what are you waiting for? Grab Jerome and give it to me. ”

Hernan didn't answer, didn't move, just stared at Talos in silence.

After a long time, he finally asked the question that he had been holding back for two whole days: "How are you going to judge him?"

"I said, believe it or not, I have been inspired to know things that you don't know. Although the Supreme Code was set by the Supreme Creator himself, there has been no shortage of madmen like Jerome for thousands of years, and the rules need to be perfected, and the world is about to usher in a revolution and a new order. ”

Talos's gray-blue pupils stared at Hernan, something that was very familiar to the knights of the Divine Domain and known as faith flickered there, making him subconsciously look away, not daring to look at Talos: "They deserve a harsher judgment." ”

With that, Talos pushed open the door of the underground tavern and walked straight inside.

Like all underground taverns, the environment is very noisy, and the air is filled with low-quality tobacco, alcohol, and the smell of non-spice smoke on the bar.

Add to that the dim lighting and the occasional flirting and lewd sound coming from around the corner, and to be honest, Talos doesn't want to go into this kind of place a second time.

Presumably capturing the flash of disgust on Talos's face, Hernán showed for the first time an expression that could barely be called a chuckle: "This kind of underground tavern can get gadgets that are not found anywhere else, and some people just like to enjoy the forbidden pleasure here." ”

Hernan's gaze then sharpened, and he searched the underground tavern.

At this moment, the temperament of the knight of the Divine Domain, who had been depressed for a long time, changed, like a cheetah with its claws stretched out and ready to hunt.

"Oh ha, my poor Hernan, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, since I've met my lovely nephew. ”

Suddenly, a high-pitched, nervous laugh crept into the ears of Talos and Hernán, coming from a remote corner.

It was a very thin man, who had obviously disguised himself to avoid the pursuit of the knights of the Divine Domain, and he no longer looked young, but the years had added a dangerous charm to him.

Talos guessed that the girls liked this kind of bad-looking uncle, otherwise the couch in the corner, which was about to collapse, would not have been able to squeeze four heavy-makeup hostesses at the same time.

Jerome patted the woman in his arms to signal her to stand up, with a mocking smile on his face, and looked at Hernan defiantly: "Look at your expression, it shouldn't be cry......ing, right?"

Talos glanced at Hernan, although it was not as unbearable as Jerome said, but the momentum that had just recovered was indeed extinguished a lot.

The man covered his face, and a broken laugh came from his palm, sullen, as if separated by a wall: "I knew that you would catch me back, I know you too well, just like you know me." ”

Hernan looked at Jerome indifferently, took out a palm-sized copper coin from his arms and announced loudly: "Hernan, the sixth god of the Earth God Domain!"

The waitress who had been glued to Jerome just now sped away like a rabbit, including the others who were letting themselves go in the underground tavern.

Soon, the underground tavern was empty, leaving only Talos, Hernan, and Jerome.

The people who need to be personally arrested by the knights of the god domain are villains with extraordinary powers, and ordinary people may like to find some forbidden pleasure in this kind of place, but it doesn't mean that they don't have eyes, and it would be too worthless to put their lives into it.

Jerome got up from the couch, straightened his clothes, and looked at the Knight of the Divine Domain with some sadness and some approval: "I thought that after a funeral, you might become like me-"

"Obviously, I'm not going to learn from you when the trouble comes, hiding under the rocks like a sticky bug. As if to prove something, Hernán nodded again, "At least I'm not depraved." ”

Jerome wasn't born a villain, in fact he was a brilliant pre-godward knight in the Earth Domain twenty years ago, but what happened on November 3 of that year changed him completely.

In just one day, Jerome was defeated by the Eleventh Knight due to family background, and returned home to find his wife lying in a pool of blood, including his unborn child.

The double blow of career and family crushed the poor man's spirit, and he went crazy, but still found the murderer very calmly and killed him with a sword.

The former Preparatory God's Domain Knight was thrown into prison for violating the Supreme Code, murder and other crimes, and then went further and further down the dark road, becoming more and more tyrannical and dangerous, completely obsessed with harming people and killing people!

Talos's gaze wandered over Hernan and Jerome, and combined with Jerome's words just now, he came to a slightly darker conclusion.

Jerome didn't kill the wife of the Knight of God in revenge for Hernán sending him to prison several times - in fact, it didn't matter at all to a deranged madman - his real purpose was to turn Hernán into a person like him, to fall in the darkness together.

In this way, it was proved that his decision to kill the murderer with a single sword was not wrong, and lo and behold, even the true Knight of the Earth God Domain, who was ranked sixth, would choose to override the Supreme Code and deprive others of their lives because of hatred, so what was wrong with him.

Jerome is using his way to challenge the Supreme Codex, to challenge the Earth Domain!

Talos even felt that Jerome had fled for a while under the noses of other godly knights and returned to Sweetwater City, not far from the Earth Domain, just to wait for Hernan's arrival and witness the birth of another fallen with his life.

Talos's suspicions were soon confirmed.

"You will, Hernan, no one knows the pain of losing a loved one better than I do, think of the beautiful Jennifer!" Jerome stepped forward quickly, standing in front of Hernan with a fearless face, and then pulled a mocking smile, "She also said a name before she died, let me think about it, it seems to be called Gary, yes, it's Gary, I'm personal-"

"Shut up, you bastard!"

Jennifer and Gary—the latter of whom Hernan came up with for her unborn child, suitable for both boys and girls—succeeded in igniting Hernan's anger that had been forcibly suppressed by the Supreme Code and the Code of the Knights of God, and he threw Jerome to the ground with a single punch.

"Yes, that's it, hahaha, worthy of the famous Sixth God Domain Knight, you did a great job. Jerome's face was full of enthusiasm and joy, and he smiled merrily.

He got up from the ground and slowly pulled a sharp dagger out of his pocket, not to resist, but to shove it into Hernan's hand.

The notorious scoundrel then led Hernan to press the dagger to his chest and seduce a knight of the Realm who had been heartbroken by the death of his wife with the most seductive whisper of his life: "Now, pierce it into my heart, and you will not only remove a scoundrel from the world who has a sinful hand in his hands, but also avenge dear Jennifer and Gary." ”

"Just a simple action, you can be liberated, there is nothing to hesitate about-"

"No, stop!" a middle-aged man rushed into the underground tavern, it was Hernan's friend Cork, "Hernan, can you put the dagger down?" Jerome should be judged by His Holiness the Pope and the Elders of the Divine Domain, not -"

Before he could finish speaking, a black smoke-like tentacle shot out from the corner of the tavern and fell straight towards Cork.

"Black Witch Damanra, sure enough, you've been helping Jerome escape from prison!"

Cork roared, arms crossed over his chest, and Talos noticed a dragon rune engraved into his thick arm.

The runes flickered, bursting out with a force that spun around and turned into an energy shield to block attacks from the Black Witch.

"Today is a big day for Jerome and I don't want anyone to disturb him. A middle-aged witch in a black robe stepped out of the shadows, staring at Cork and then on Talos, "Of course, including you, my dear, a spectator must be an audience." ”

"I've always been very obedient, ma'am. ”

Talos smiled harmlessly at the Black Witch, his mind repeating the spell that Cork and the Dark Witch had just cast, and he didn't hear a single spell.

The Knight of God's Domain, Cork's spellcasting method looks somewhat similar to that of the Dwarven clan's rune priests who believe in the fire dragon, carving intricate sacred rune marks into their skin, thus using their bodies as a special channel to connect the fire dragon.

And the Black Witch, instead of defining her as a mage who uses her own spiritual power to harness elemental energy to cast spells, is more of a bloodline warlock!

As for the source of the bloodline, Talos was not sure, he had too little information in his hands, and only by virtue of being able to hide in the shadows or darkness and move through them, it could be a shadow leopard, it could be a dark elemental lord, or it could be some kind of magical beast or magical creature that he had never heard of.

"Do not hesitate, my friend, I have made so many mistakes that even the Creator cannot forgive, and I should have died a thousand times ten thousand times. ”

Jerome unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his chest, and Hernan's dagger-gripping hands made a cut in his chest, bleeding red.

"It's not a big deal, I know your strength and abilities, killing me is as easy as crushing an ant, if it weren't for the damn Supreme Code and the bullshit God's Domain Knight Code restricting you, you would have wanted to do it a long time ago, didn't you?"

"Go ahead, the sun will rise the next day and the world will continue to work. With the Black Witch here, no one will remember today's events. ”

Hernan noticed that his hands holding the dagger were trembling slightly, when was the last time his hand holding the weapon trembled?

He couldn't remember exactly, it was probably the first day of training as a Knight of the Divine Domain at the age of seven.

On more than one occasion in the past nights when he was paralyzed by alcohol, Hernán fantasized about the scene in front of him, and he stabbed his sword into Jerome's body in a fit of rage and joy, again and again, until the other person's body cooled down, as if by doing so, he could vent all the negative emotions that had been suppressed in his heart, such as hatred and anger.

But only the Creator knows how tormenting Hernán is at this moment, and his soul is being tortured by faith, morality, norms, conscience, and reason.

In Jerome's self-analysis, full of demagoguery and guilt, hatred overshadowed reason and faith, and Hernan slowly raised the dagger in his hand.

"yes, that's it, quick-"

"No, Hernan!"

"As I said, no one is allowed to disturb them!"

The Black Witch spread her arms, and a tattered smoke-like cloak appeared out of thin air, enveloping Cork.

Bang!

The dagger was nailed to a table next to it, Hernán opened his mouth with difficulty, but there was not the slightest sound, and it was not until two seconds later that he heard a cry for help from the depths of his throat: "Minos......"

"Very well, there is no need to make things so complicated, let Minos, the Knight of the Divine Domain, who has obtained the Apocalypse of Talos, the Lord of Creator and Judgment, come to end all this. ”

Boom!

Frost steel scimitar unsheathed.
