Chapter 135 The Family of the Gods
"Bishop Karl, who is that young man?"
Standing on the balcony on the second floor, a middle-aged man turned his head, looked at the vampire bishop beside him, and asked softly. He has brilliant blond hair, and a resolute face that looks like a stone sculpture that has been beaten by wind and rain, serious and dignified. This man was about two meters tall. He was wearing silver templar armor and a bright red cloak. On the cloak, a pattern of an eagle flying high could be clearly seen.
He is one of the Knight Commanders of the Temple, and one of the strongest members of the Temple, "Blade of Justice" Brand Castina.
The Castina family is a people favored by the gods.
Since the establishment of the temple, rumors have been circulating in the Castina family that they are not guarded by angels like the Holy Spirit knights. In fact, the members of the Castina family are very few, and on the surface they are very ordinary. But...they were favored by the goddess.
Of course, this is a statement inside the temple. On the surface, the Castina family is no different from ordinary people. They do not have any special bloodlines, nor do they have the protection of the Holy Spirit. But this family has some strange "luck".
That's right, luck.
The ancestor of the Castina family was an ordinary Templar, and during the battle against Chaos, he accidentally got separated from the main force, and then accidentally found a temple. There, the ancestor of the Castina family obtained the inheritance of the ancient holy light. After practicing hard, he gained great strength and returned to the temple, helping the temple repel the attack of chaos. After that, the Castina family became a dazzling star in the temple.
Of course, any family that is too powerful will become the target of the enemy. In the following hundreds of years, the castina family has never stopped fighting against chaos and evil. And their enemies are equally powerful. Finally, they pushed the Castina family to the brink of destruction. At that time, there were only two brothers left in the Castina family. After being chased by the assassins sent by Chaos On the way to kill them, they unfortunately fell off the cliff...
Um? Why is this routine so familiar?
That's right, just as everyone guessed, after the brothers fell off the cliff, they "accidentally" discovered a mysterious altar, where they made a contract with the Holy Beast of Light, and then... well, Need to say later? The Castina brothers, who possessed the power of the Holy Beast of Light, not only eliminated the mastermind behind the scenes, but also gained a firm foothold in the temple again. After that, the Castina family also began to prosper again.
But the good times are always short-lived. After a hundred years, hell targeted the assassination of the Castina family again. At that time, the old patriarch had just died of illness, and the new patriarch had not yet married a wife and had children, so Hell sent a confidant to tear open the space rift on the day of the funeral, and dragged the then new Patriarch Castina to Hell!
I can't kill you in the main world, but you can't jump around in hell.
Then... Well, the devil of hell did manage to capture this patriarch of Castina and successfully put him in prison. This made the Demon King quite excited, and he specially summoned other Demon Kings to come together, intending to publicly execute this "Heaven-sent" in full view!
It's a pity, if this demon king reads a few more novels, he will know what it means to strike first and then suffer disaster.
As a result, the Patriarch Castina of that generation "met" an imprisoned angel in the prison of the Devil King of Hell. To the holy sword lost in hell in the war between heaven and earth—the blade of justice!
Needless to say, on the day of the ceremony, the protagonist came out and slapped the god soldier in the face, beat the unlucky demon king to death in front of his colleagues, broke through the space and returned to the main plane, leaving only hell with a livid face Demon kings...
And that person is the father of the current knight commander.
This is why it is said in the temple that the Castina family is "favored by the goddess". Others fell off the cliff and died, and were thrown into the water and drowned. The chance encounter with that magical soldier... If it is not the goddess' blessing, then no one will believe it if he is killed!
However, this is not without cost.
Perhaps the so-called thing is no more than three. Although the Castina family has obtained various "adventures" and "magic weapons", almost none of these things can be passed down to three generations in the hands of the Castina family.
The inheritance of the Holy Light learned by the patriarch of the first Castina family disappeared after three generations because the family was broken up and the profound meanings of the inheritance were separated during the fight for it.
And then the pair of brothers who signed a contract with the Holy Beast of Light only agreed that the Holy Beast of Light would only protect them for three generations.
Bland Castina is the second generation of legendary figures who inherited the "Blade of Justice", and the third generation is his daughter Connie Castina.
He was a staid, earnest man, devoted to the Faith and the Temple all his life. It is his creed to protect justice and fight against evil. And his daughter Connie also inherited his jealousy. Of course, compared to Brand, Connie is still too young and a little impatient. But when he saw someone who dared to show Connie face to face, Brand was still a little upset. Although he also felt that Connie's temperament was a bit impatient, she was still a good girl in essence, and there were very few people in the temple who targeted her like this.
But that doesn't seem to be the case for the young man.
"His name is Fang Zheng, Your Excellency Brand."
Hearing Brand's question, Bishop Carl, who was standing beside him, answered directly without blinking his eyelids.
"Is that the young great knight?"
Hearing Carl's answer, Brand became more and more confused.
"What's going on between him and Connie?"
"According to the report of Grand Knight Malte, when Connie met him for the first time, she identified him as a cultist, and because of this, she fought with Grand Knight Fang Zheng, and was defeated."
"Cultist?"
Faced with this unexpected answer, Brand was taken aback for a moment, then he turned his head to look at Carl, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Facing Brand's scrutiny, Bishop Karl snorted coldly.
"All the rewards of the great knights are carried out after strict review by the bishops."
The implication is that there is no problem with Fangzheng's identity.
"But he has been missing for more than half a year, and no one knows where he went."
"The opponent has the Holy Spirit's protection."
Bishop Karl still didn't even lift his eyelids.
"Don't you believe in the will of the goddess?"
"........."
Brand frowned, and then turned his head to look at the girl beside Fangzheng. Although Nimf used a special method to hide her wings, in the eyes of powerful legendary beings like Brand, it was still more or less able to see.
"What's with the collar around her neck?"
"No one knows, but looking at her appearance, she doesn't seem to mind."
As Karl said, for Nymph, she cared more about the kitten in Fangzheng's hand.
"...I'll watch him."
"You'd better be 'watching' as you said."
This time, Bishop Karl finally responded. He opened his eyes and stared at the knight commander in front of him. Brand is the top fighter in the temple, but he is rigid and stubborn, and he will not look back when he is sure about things. The reason why Connie became what she is now is inseparable from Brand's "precepts and deeds".
"He is a knight of the holy spirit. You should understand that the bishops pay close attention to him."
"But no one can act recklessly."
Brand seemed to have no intention of talking to Bishop Carl, but turned around and walked to the other side. Looking at Brand's back, Bishop Karl frowned, and then sighed imperceptibly.
"I really hope that little guy doesn't get into any trouble..."
