Adrian's face was very ugly, because he had just realized that he, the king of thieves who had never had a record of missing a hand, had been tricked by an old thing with a tasteless speech and an abominable face. 【Starter】

"You didn't say there would be such a big problem. He looked at the old ascetic and smiled bitterly. The main material world constructed by the rules of order suddenly showed traces of the law of chaos, and you didn't have to think about it to know that this was causing great trouble.

Although the previous bet with the old ascetic was lost, it was because Adrian himself had no intention of winning. The name of the King of Thieves is resounding, but at the same time it is a heavy burden. After so many years of crawling and rolling in the mortal world, all kinds of grievances, hatreds, life and death parting made his heart feel deeply tired.

In private, he has been looking for a more decent way to retreat, such as a bet like this, and after losing, he will join the Darkmoon Church, inherit the duties of the old ascetic, and spend the rest of his life guarding this dilapidated temple...... Such an ending is not difficult for a legend to accept.

"If there is no trouble, why would the Darkmoon Church build a temple here?" the old ascetic asked the old ascetic in a straight voice, almost causing Adrian to vomit blood. But when he calmed down, he also knew that the old ascetic was not lying. The Cult of the Darkmoon has long been rejected by the Cult of the Gods as the "Unbelievers" because they do not believe in any gods other than the Darkmoon itself. If you don't believe in gods, what's the point of building a temple?

Adrian rolled his eyes, he had only noticed that the location of this temple was relatively hidden, and the scenery outside was also very good, it was an old place for retirement, but at that time he did not think of such an unplanned factor. In fact, temples built by the Darkmoon Church are not common in Kanillas, and almost every temple has a clear purpose, the main of which is......

"The Seal of the Center of the Earth?"

Thinking of the abnormal fluctuation of the chaotic law he had just felt, Adrian involuntarily crossed the word in his mind, and then he couldn't help but have a headache. The ascetics of the Darkmoon Church never relied on external objects, and even their own temple was so poor that they didn't even care about thieves. If there's anything they care about, it's undoubtedly the Seal of the Earth's Center from Babylon on the Dark Moon.

As the origin of the world, Babylon the Darkmoon represents absolute order, and it is not uncommon for no one to covet such a powerful power, and even the gods eventually returned to the world. What method did the Earth Phoenix use to bring back this stone from the Dark Moon is now impossible to verify. But the Seal of the Center of the Earth is definitely a veritable relic for the Darkmoon Church.

In the vicinity of several known sealing places on the mainland, there are temples specially built by the Darkmoon Church, which have been committed to it for thousands of years...... Or rather, it is the death of the eyes guarding the seal of the center of the earth. However, compared to the vast history of human civilization, this little attachment of the Darkmoon Church is really not enough to worry about, so that Adrian couldn't think of this stubble before this.

"Old immortal, you dare to trick me?" Adrian cried out through gritted teeth, how could something happen sooner rather than later, just in time for him to take over this broken temple?

The Seal of the Earth's Center has no value in itself, as it is a stone, constructed from the laws of Absolute Order, and therefore cannot be affected in any way in the mortal world. If the world is compared to a house, then Babylon the Dark Moon represents the foundation, and no matter how much the people who live in the house toss, even if they burn the house, it will not affect the foundation.

Of course, it is impossible for mortal forces to destroy the seal of the center of the earth, and no one will be brain-dead enough to steal this thing home. The real problem is that the role of the Seal of the Center of the Earth itself is to suppress the nodes of order in the leylines, and if the Seal of the Center of the Earth is moved, it will have a serious impact on the nodes of order.

Two-thirds of the causes of several large-scale invasions of heterotopic races in human history, including the wars of the demons of hell, can be traced back to the appearance of the Seal of the Center of the Earth.

"Maybe this is fate...... "The old ascetic sighed, shook his head, and said, "We have been guarding the Seal of the Center of the Earth for thousands of years, when this area was still a wild Black Forest area, and only in the last hundred years has there been a gradual appearance of human civilization. When the Knight of Casseros arrived, we knew that the day would come. Although he has provided us with shelter and sworn to keep the secrets of the seal of the center of the earth, human ambition will always be more terrible than that of wild beasts. ”

"So you're trying to put the blame on me?" Adrian said angrily, "I'm telling you, if you don't give me an explanation, I'm really going to break the contract!

"Don't worry, we're not unprepared, it's just that it will take a little time to call for reinforcements to arrive. The old ascetic said, "The problem is not serious now, and it should be easy to solve it with your ability." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice if I had the time to train the ladies and ladies?" Adrian said, but he stood up and cleaned up the work in front of him. Although he was reluctant to take this hot potato in his heart, the movement of the seal of the center of the earth was not a trivial matter. If he still wants to spend his old age in the city in peace, this time he will have to intervene.

Just as Adrian made up his mind, the battle in the underground cavern gradually came to an end. Humans and demons are mortal enemies, and there is no room for compromise. Under the leadership of Lucius, the human knights exerted 200% of their combat strength, and with fearless passion and absolute numerical superiority, they quickly defeated the summoned demon army, and even the demon directly summoned from hell did not survive in the end.

A strong attack at any cost naturally means a heavy price. After the battle, the corpses of the human knights and demon cultists filled almost the entire space. Nearly fifty knights were killed in battle, and more than two hundred were seriously wounded, which can almost be said to have consumed one-fifth of the combat strength of Lucius's knights. In the process of slaying the dragon, there had never been such a serious consumption.

However, the result of heavy casualties was not satisfactory, although the demons were all destroyed, but the most crucial figures, Kemal and the Speaker, slipped away without anyone noticing. When he saw Lucius suddenly appear here, Kemal knew that the general trend had gone, and he already had a retreat in his heart. After that, scenes such as "you're killing yourself" are nothing more than posturing.

"These two cunning bastards!" Lucius slammed his fist into the edge of the stone tower, which didn't move, but his fist was instantly blurred with flesh and blood. But this little flesh pain was far from enough to quench the anger in his heart. Letting these two guys escape would mean that all his previous efforts would be in vain, and the heavy casualty figures would be meaningless. Although he killed all the demon cultists, anyone with a discerning eye knew that they were nothing more than pawns that had been abandoned.

"My lord, we have already packed up our fallen brothers, what are we going to do with the corpses of these demons?" a knight asked in a low voice as he walked up to Lucius.

"Don't be in a hurry for now, just withdraw our brothers. Lucius shook his head, the expression on his face a little gloomy. He patted the knight on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "This is our last battle, although let that damn old thing run, but he lost the last hole card, there is nothing to be afraid of." In the evening we will have a great feast in the castle, and all the brothers will have to attend!"

"We can't wait, my lord. The knight's smile was a little reluctant, they really couldn't wait to celebrate the victory, but in the battle just now, dozens of comrades were separated from each other by life, how could he still be as happy as he was when he entered the city.

"You guys should leave first, I want to be quiet here. Lucius sat down at the foot of the stone tower with his sword, and said with some tiredness.

The knights did not dispute the lord's orders, in fact, it was easy to clean up their own corpses, but it was not so simple to dispose of the corpses of demons, as the demons manifested by the law of chaos, even after death, corpses and studies could pollute the land. To get rid of this contamination once and for all, it is necessary to rely on the help of the clergy.

Anyway, this is already the last battle, even if it is left there and then cleaned up, the knights still have to adjust their mood to participate in the evening celebration banquet, who is in the mood to deal with the corpses of these demons?

After a while, Lucius was left alone in the underground cavern. Of course, there are bystanders who are not of this world. El hid far away in the mouth of the secret passage with Lolana in his arms, and remained silent. There was also Blackbeard, who fled immediately after the failed sneak attack, and although he could not be seen, El knew that he must not have left.

This guy wants to sneak up on Lolana at any cost, which shows that there must be a benefit here that he wants to keep it alone. But so far in the development of the plot, El has not seen a clue that can be linked to the treasure of the King of Thieves. Dimient's black history is wonderful, but what does it mean for onlookers a thousand years later?

Just as El hesitated, Lucius suddenly stood up. Holding one of the corners of the stone tower behind him, he jumped to the top of the stone tower.

El intuitively felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly used the power of the insight rune to look closely, and to his surprise, there was still a deep sadness on Lucius's face at this time?

The stone tower that stood in the middle of the underground cavern looked like a rose, and the pillars under the tower twisted and coiled together, converging and twisting together, converging to the top and suddenly blooming, and the seal of the center of the earth was hidden in the stamen.

Lucius held the sword with his backhand, his face changed at this moment, he hesitated for a moment, seemed to have made up his mind, took a deep breath, and inserted the sword into the seal of the center of the earth!
