Chapter 167: Black Friday (1)

A well-maintained Alfa Romeo 159 sped past him, the wheels grinding against him as he made a screeching sound as he made an emergency avoidance, and the driver stretched out his middle hand through the window, his middle finger held high.

There was another small truck in the opposite lane, desperately honking the horn, Zhou Yu hurriedly got up and fled to the side of the road.

There were not many pedestrians, and a few tourists with large bags, sunglasses, and cameras were attracted by the sound of the road, and they all looked at the guy who suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.

Zhou Yu touched the neck that was pinched by the shadow demon, and retreated into an alley in embarrassment.

He was thrown into this dream by the Shadow Fiend, and almost hit the door frame and died, and when he entered the door, he appeared on this road, and slid out along the Joan Macaro line in the middle of the road, but fortunately it didn't slip, otherwise he would have been crushed to death.

There was a dilapidated building in the distance, and it was instantly recognizable as an open-air arena, so it must be Rome, and the text on the billboard on the side of the road was distorted, indicating that this was a dream, a dream that took place in Rome.

Unlike last time, Zhou Yu didn't have the urge to kill, but he was deeply uneasy, the dream in the inverted Moon City house was different from the rattan dream, more real and more dangerous, if it wasn't for the help of the shadow demon last time, he was likely to be killed by Tracy's subconscious, originally planned to eat all the zero crystals on the dragon's back before entering, even if he couldn't increase the dream rune, it would be excellent if his strength could be improved.

The shadow demon doesn't know if it will be curious, and it will touch the darkness in the door again, if it also comes, it will be okay to say, if it is not there, Zhou Yu has a powerful subconscious again...... If you're lucky, you'll be killed and sent out, losing a lot of zero power; If you're unlucky, you're trapped in your subconscious and can't get out, then you don't know what will happen.

He searched in the alley, and then went back to the road just now, and there was no quest prompt, just like last time, the quest prompt in this dream seemed to be linked to an event, and only when something happened or saw someone would appear.

Then hang out.

Zhou Yu walked towards the open-air arena, it is difficult to get back to Rome, it is still a very real Rome, then you have to go to the arena for a walk, and feel the spirit of the king on the dragon's head, if you can feel the spirit of the overlord in the arena, he will ...... It's round.

The arena was fenced and guarded by security, but he was able to get in with ease, a half-ruined building with a lot of ashlars, fallen walls, and weeds growing in places.

As soon as he walked to the amphitheater in the center, before he could turn in, a person turned out from behind the remaining stone pillars next to him and said to Zhou Yu, "You're late." ”

This is a middle-aged man of about forty years old, wearing a big trench coat, a peaked cap, and a stubble on his face, like a vagabond.

Zhou Yu was frightened, looked around, no one else, and immediately said seriously: "It's you who came early." ”

He saw the quest hint on the man's hat:

"Assist Herbert de Paying."

In addition to the name of the person, there is only a short word "assist", how to help, there is nothing to do, then the person in front of him is likely to be Herbert, just follow his arrangement.

It's just not known if he's Herbert's main mind or subconscious.

"Let's go." The middle-aged man turned and walked outside the arena.

"Are you...... Mr. Pa Ying, right? Just call me a bento, where are we going? Zhou Yu followed behind and asked curiously.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "68 Kondodi Street." ”

Zhou Yu didn't know where No. 68 Condodi Avenue was, and he didn't ask much, anyway, he would know when he arrived.

Walking out of the open-air arena through a small door, Zhou Yu followed Herbert to an old BMW M1 car, and as soon as he sat down, Herbert took out a stack of green banknotes and handed it to Zhou Yu, saying: "This is an advance payment, 10,000 euros, and the remaining 90,000 yuan will be given to you after the matter is completed." ”

Zhou Yu took it, flipped through it, and saw that there were all old bills of one hundred euros without serial numbers, a total of one hundred, and he began to feel a little uneasy again.

One hundred thousand euros is not a small number, indicating that what he is going to do is dangerous and probably illegal.

Herbert stopped talking and started the car onto the road.

About twenty minutes later, Herbert parked the car on the side of the road, took Zhou Yu to a bustling narrow street, walked to the intersection, pointed to a building next to it, and said, "This is it." ”

Zhou Yu looked up and saw that it was a three-story building, very old, the walls on the second and third floors were pale yellow, the windows were locked, the first floor was a shop, the walls were covered with white stones, thickened, it looked a bit like an old-fashioned European-style hotel, and there was a stone plaque in the corner of the second floor facing the crossroads.

At the top of the plaque is the lion's head, there is a red circular sign under the lion's head, and inside the sign are four pointed arrows to form a cross, which looks somewhat familiar, and there are words in the box below the logo, but it is not clear, and then below is the crown and shield.

This building is not big, the main entrance is more than ten meters away from the corner of the wall, and there are two flags on the door, one is a white cross on a red background, and the other is the same as the sign on the plaque, a cross made of four arrows on a red background.

The two of them walked slowly to the door, looked in,

Inside the door was a small courtyard, with a flower stand facing the door, and on it there was that kind of arrow cross sign on a red background, and the ground was the same, except that the floor was dark gray and turned into a white cross on a gray background.

"I've seen this logo in the game." Zhou Yu still couldn't remember what this place was.

"That's the sign of the Knights Hospitaller, and this is the Palace of Malta, the capital of the Knights of Malta." Herbert said calmly.

"Ahh Come to think of it. Zhou Yu nodded heavily.

The Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem, referred to as the Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Knights of Lot, the Knights of St. John, and now the Knights of Malta, one of the three most famous knightly orders in history, the other two are the Knights Templar and the Teutonic Knights.

The Knights Templar were gone, and the Teutonic Order was disbanded by Napoleon, re-established by the Emperor of Austria, and later reorganized into the Purely Religious Order, which still exists today, but with the name changed to "German Knights".

The Knights of Malta is now a country, but it does not have its own territory, the headquarters and capital is this Malta Palace (Palazzo-Di-Malta), and the octagonal cross composed of four arrows is called the "Maltese Cross".

"You wouldn't be a citizen of the Knights of Malta, would you? Or a knight? Zhou Yu asked Herbert curiously.

"Of course not." Herbert shook his head: "Otherwise, I would just walk in openly, why bother looking for you." ”

"Looks like I'm going to take what's inside." Zhou Yu finally knew what he was going to do.

"Go back and talk about it." Herbert left the narrow street with Zhou Yu and stayed in a hotel not far away.

After closing the door, Herbert sat on the table, took out a paper and pen, drew a six-pointed star in a regular manner, handed it to Zhou Yu, and said, "All you have to do is to help me take this thing out, remember, what you are going to take is blue, and the diagonal distance is half a meter." ”

"Blue? Star of David? What do you want this for? Zhou Yu remembered that the blue six-pointed star was called the Star of David, which was the symbol of the Israeli flag.

"You don't have to worry so much, the things are in the basement of the Malta Palace, and there are other valuable things in it, you just need to give me the Star of David, and the rest is yours." Herbert frowned.

"Okay." Zhou Yu nodded, thinking that taking this thing was only the first step of the task, there would definitely be a follow-up mission, and the purpose of taking the Star of David would be known at that time.

He really wanted to get the Star of David and leave this dream.

It was soon dark, and at about two o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yu left the hotel alone, returned to the narrow street, and came to the front of the Malta Palace.

There was no one on the street for a long time, and it was pitch black in the Maltese Palace, so he turned on [Blind], moved into the Malta Palace, and looked underground.

Sure enough, there is a basement, and it is several meters away from the ground, very hidden, you have to go down through a vertical passage, it is very difficult to find the entrance to the passage by groping, but it can be seen through, Zhou Yu only took a few minutes to find the entrance.

The entrance is in an office on the first floor, next to the office is the security room, where two security guards sit and are watching TV, and in general, the task is very simple.

Zhou Yu moved into the office, lifted the carpet, pulled up the secret door, and went down the ladder to the basement, sure enough, he saw a lot of treasures, but he was not interested at all, and turned his head to look for the Star of David.

Treasures are all things in dreams, and you can't get the real world, so it's a complete burden on your body, and the important thing is to complete the task.

In less than a minute, he saw the Star of David that Herbert had said, there was [blindness], and it was a large six-pointed star with a diagonal distance of half a meter, and it was more difficult to find than to find it, so he walked over and removed the six-pointed star that was hanging behind the cabinet.

The hexagram was beyond Zhou Yu's expectations, it seemed to be made of gold, but it was painted blue, and it was impossible to teleport with such a heavy thing, so he had to carry the hexagram cross-body, climb the stairs, and return to the office.

After recovering the secret door and carpet, Zhou Yu went up to the second floor, jumped out of a room on the second floor and went out into the street, returned to the hotel, and placed the six-pointed star on the ground under Herbert's astonished gaze.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw Herbert take out a pistol, pointed it at himself, and said: "I didn't expect you to come back so quickly, you are really a very capable person, originally I just wanted you to help me steal the Star of David, but now I have changed my mind." ”

Zhou Yu pursed his lips and said, "That's it, why are you holding a gun at me?" ”

Herbert smiled and said, "What I'm going to do next may kill the two of us, I'm afraid that you won't want money, so I want to use your life to make this deal with you." (To be continued.) )
