While the murder on Eldham Street was on the run, Roger had already arrived outside the temple of the Brotherhood of the Darkmoon. Although he was also alone, he obviously expected this situation and did not give up his original purpose because of this.

Successive robber kings have carried out unremitting exploration of the treasure of the king of thieves, from the beginning of aimless groping, to determine the real goal, generation after generation of robbers have stepped on the bones of their predecessors to continue to advance, and the accumulated experience is naturally extremely rich. By the time Blackbeard's generation arrived, the exploration was gradually coming to an end.

Adrian, the king of thieves, hid his legacy in the ruins of the city-state in order to select a worthy successor, so the clues he left behind are full of his own style. The secret room hidden in the Temple of the Dark Moon is the first test. If you don't pay attention enough, you can't find the location of the secret room.

And the second test is this mysterious phantom that emerges from the void. If you can answer the correct question, you can enter the dream test - although Lolana still has doubts about this, but with the vision and insight of a robber, she can only think of it as a bizarre dream.

It is a dream of the last memories of the city-state of Dimient, beginning with the return of Lucius from slaying the dragon and ending with the council summoning demons to destroy the city-state. As outsiders, they only need to stand aside and watch the trajectory of history unfold while looking for clues about the treasure buried by the King of Thieves in this dream.

What are the consequences of trying to change the behavior of a character in a dream? This is something that has been tried many years ago, and has been hunted down by the Phantom like El. If they deliberately sabotage the plot development to a certain extent, this dream will only accelerate the collapse.

As for the mysterious weapon in the phantom's hand, some people have tried to snatch it, but after they succeeded, they found that this mysterious weapon could not be brought out of the dream, and even if it was done in reality, the weapon would quickly turn into powder and disappear into the air. Even from the records of the Night's Watch, there was no mention of any clue about the weapon, and it was all about giving up.

The reason why Roger didn't specifically mention this step of the trial to El was not that he deliberately wanted to trick people, but that there was really no danger in this step, although it seemed very real, it was actually just a fictional world, and it had been thoroughly studied many years ago. Even if El made a desperate attempt to kill someone in the street, it would not prevent him from following the steps to complete the trial. 【Starter】

According to the records unearthed by his predecessors, Adrian, the king of thieves, stayed in the Temple of the Dark Moon on this day and left his legacy here. All Roger has to do is rush here and take a closer look as a bystander, looking for key clues to the next trial.

These accumulated records are stored in the Golden Scimitar, which only the King of Bandits wields is eligible to inherit. When Roger first arrives with Blackbeard, he is acutely aware of the key to solving the puzzle. But at that time, Blackbeard was the dominant one, and he was not qualified to come close.

This time, Blackbeard also followed, but he didn't appear here, because the plot development here was no secret to him. Roger knew that Blackbeard would definitely have his own thoughts, such as looking for new clues elsewhere, but that wasn't necessarily bad for him. No matter what clues he finds, the ultimate goal is still the same as himself.

Roger strode into the Temple of the Dark Moon and took in his surroundings. It should be said that it is worthy of the temple of the Darkmoon Church, and it has hardly changed in the past thousand years - even in the heyday of a thousand years ago, the empty hall was so poor that even thieves had no incentive to patronize it.

The temple's presence is so thin that there are only a few words in the Night's Watch histories. If it weren't for Lolana's discovery, Roger wouldn't have known that this was the temple of the Darkmoon Church. It is rumored that the followers of the Cult of the Dark Moon are pure-hearted ascetics who are adept at honing their bodies and exercising their wills in the most difficult environments. Apart from the most basic dietary conditions, there are hardly any material needs.

From the eyes of the other believers of the Cult of the Gods, these followers of the Dark Moon are simply self-masochistic perverts. It was difficult for Roger to understand how Adrian, the legendary king of thieves, who ate, drank, prostituted, gambled, and had anything to do with such a church. The last time Blackbeard came in alone, he only dared to hide and peep far away, and barely saw Adrian's true face, but this time he finally got his wish.

There were believers praying in the hall of the temple, and at a glance, all of them were ascetics in tight black monastic robes, and the reason why they could be confirmed to be ascetics was because these old men were so thin that they were only skinny and bones, and they looked as if they were going to die in the next minute, even the wild dogs of the brown soil and hills would not be so shivering.

Roger froze, and then immediately determined Adrian's identity, because in the middle of the group of gray-haired old men, there was only a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion sitting in the corner, with a straw stick in his mouth, leaning against the wall nonchalantly, his eyes closed and seeming to doze off.

His appearance can't be said to be very outstanding, but under the backdrop of this group of old men who are about to die, he can be called handsome. If there is any clue to confirm his identity, it is the meticulously combed sheep's horn on his mouth. Roger once saw a wild legend about Adrian in the books of the Night's Watch, and he deliberately described how many of his playful mustaches had seduce the hearts of the most resentful women......

Adrian was also wearing the Darkmoon Church's signature tight-fitting monastic robes, and his style was no different from the others, except that the material looked noticeably different. Judging by Roger's professional vision, it is likely to be the legendary dark silk, the finest cloth from the sea of jade, which is a high-class luxury even among the elven tribes. It seems that although this king of thieves chose to believe in Dark Moon for some reason, he didn't have the slightest intention of wronging himself.

Roger stood silently aside, waiting for the ascetic to finish his prayers and leave. This dream lasts for a whole day, but in reality it doesn't last more than twenty minutes, so he doesn't have to worry about time here.

When everyone had left and sat at the front, the eldest ascetic slowly turned his head and saw Adri's slack appearance, he couldn't help but sigh and cough lightly.

"Is it over?" Adrian's ears moved, he opened his eyes in a bit of confusion, stood up and patted his ass and stretched, breathed a long sigh of relief, and lamented with a sad face: "When I think of my future life going to be spent like this day by day, I don't have the best to live at all." ”

"For ascetics, living in such a prosperous city-state was already an excessive luxury. The old ascetic ignored Adrian's complaints, and said as if to himself.

"I know, there's really no way, I'm willing to gamble and lose, I won't run away. Adrian moved his body with a bitter face, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and a smile full of ill will appear on his face, walked up to the old ascetic and said: "According to the previous bet, I will give up my past status as the king of thieves to inherit your temple of birds that don't, which means that from now on, I am the master of this place, and I can do whatever I want?"

"As long as it doesn't violate the teachings of the Dark Moon......," said the old ascetic indifferently.

"Don't worry, no one will come to this place even if I want to party. Adrian couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the empty hall, there was really no oil and water to be fished here, and no matter what he did, he had to pay for it himself. For a thief who is accustomed to getting something for nothing, it is nothing short of mentally devastating.

"Since I have decided to give up my previous identity and start believing in the Dark Moon, then the wealth I have accumulated over the years will be useless, so it is better to hide in this temple and surprise future generations. I remember there was an underground vault here, which was perfect for that. Adrian smiled evilly again.

The old ascetic looked at him pitifully, his old face twitching. Although Adrian's handling of his wealth was not theoretically contrary to doctrine, if he did, wouldn't he be causing unwarranted calamity to the temple?

"Everyone knows that the Darkmoon Church is so poor that it doesn't care about anything outside of it, and even beggars don't come here to ask for food. But if you think about it the other way around, isn't this the best place to hide treasure? Oh, I'm such a genius, how come I didn't think of this brilliant idea before? If I couldn't think of it, it would be almost impossible for anyone to think of it!"

Seeing the embarrassed face of the old ascetic, Adrian's interest grew even higher. How could a man who could be called the king of thieves be a man who kept to himself? Just in the middle of these few words, he had already made a plan, and he couldn't wait to start realizing it.

The Darkmoon Church asked its followers to break free from the bondage of mortal matter, and he did. The fact that the dignified king of thieves can resolutely give up the wealth he had accumulated in the first half of his life and become an ascetic is already the most pious expression. However, there is not a single rule in the teachings of the Darkmoon Church that forbids him to have some fun for himself - such as designing a treasure that will haunt all the younger generations in the second half of his life, but it is impossible to obtain.

Adrian's face was full of "I just want to trick people", which made Roger's head burst into the sky as he stood by and watched. At this time, he really wanted to kick Adrian's obscene face hard, so that he could deeply experience the resentment that had accumulated after a thousand years. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
