Adrian stood in the middle of the crowd, looked Lucius in the eye, and said with a straight face, "Lord Lucius, son of Cerros, the future lord of Dimient!

There was silence in the hall, and everyone's faces were dazed and shocked, including Lucius. At this time, he actually wanted to pretend to be angry, and angrily scolded, "Where did you come from, get out of here!", but he couldn't do that now.

The temple built by the Darkmoon Church in Dimient can be said to be the only religious building in this area, if not within a radius of several hundred kilometers. While things like gathering faith are dispensable jobs for the Darkmoon Church, they are the only spiritual support for the local population.

In the life events of birth baptism, weddings and funerals, and ancestral sacrifices, both nobles and commoners hoped to be blessed and recognized by the clergy. With no choice, they retreated to the next best thing and pinned their hopes on the ascetics of the Darkmoon Church. However, from an objective point of view, the incorruptibility and self-discipline that these ascetics believed in also gave them sufficient trust.

Lucius grew up in Dimient, and he was well aware of the prestige of the ascetics of the Darkmoon Church in Dimient. You can say that these guys have eccentric personalities, but you can't criticize him for his moral character. In the eyes of ordinary people, a person without material pursuits must be a pure sage.

Even if he has hideous words and an abominable face, he is not greedy for money, does not love beauty, does not fight for power, and even maintains his diet only on the standard line of life, such a stubborn guy who is more stubborn than a stone will naturally not pose a threat to anyone.

Now that Lucius has just regained the right to rule, it is a good time for the whole city to celebrate, if it were someone else running over and talking nonsense, he would have been thrown out by the guards a long time ago, or even if he listened to the nonsense he made up, at least he had to ask why, this is human nature. But if it were to come out of an ascetic, no one would dare to listen to him as a deaf ear.

Since Adrian had chosen Darkmoon's faith, of course, it was impossible for him to be as open-mouthed as before, but it was theoretically okay for him to say it now. The seal of the center of the earth has changed, and the law of chaos has penetrated into the mortal world, and this level of mutation can be called a major disaster for the entire world. Although it doesn't seem to have a noticeable impact now, if you don't take it seriously, it can easily develop into an uncontrollable situation.

Onlookers from a thousand years later knew that the city would cease to exist after tonight, and that the surrounding territory would be barren.

Therefore, although he hated this guy who suddenly appeared to stir up trouble, Lucius could not reprimand him at will. After all, he had only just seized the throne, and his personal prestige in the city-state of Dimient was far from enough to rival the Darkmoon Church. He must be cautious in his position now, or else the remnants of the parliament will take advantage of the opportunity to spill sewage and even make a comeback.

"Where did you come from, get out of here!"

Suddenly hearing a shout in his ear, Lucius suddenly stirred, and came back to his senses to realize that he had not said what was in his heart.

Now that his identity is a lord above 10,000 people, he naturally doesn't have to do many things himself. Those wall-grass councillors who have taken refuge have been trained in their talent for observing words and colors. One of the fat-headed old fellows noticed that Lucius's face was a little wrong, and immediately thought that he had figured out the lord's thoughts.

Whether the so-called calamity of this ascetic is true or not, it would be too inappropriate to say it on this memorable day. This made the face of the lord very embarrassed, and the embarrassment of the lord was naturally the shame of these slaves who were dogs.

This kind of opportunity to be attentive is rare, so he immediately jumped out and roared, diverting everyone's attention to himself.

Lucius secretly praised in his heart, although most of these wall-to-wall councilors are straw bales, they can still play an important role at some critical moments. For example, now, with this guy jumping out as a buffer, he doesn't have to go head-to-head with this inexplicable ascetic.

"It's all right, let the ascetic finish his words. Lucius smiled and patted the old councillor on the shoulder, and said calmly: "Everyone, we have slain the evil dragon and expelled the cowardly council, we can have everything today, not relying on the shadow of our ancestors to sit and enjoy its success, but relying on our own hands to get the rewards of hardships and dangers." Now it's just a new challenge, don't you have the courage to face it?"

The knights of the guards gathered around them shouted in unison, slamming their weapons on the ground as they felt the ground tremble.

"It's really a dazzling **** ......," El and Adrian scolded in their hearts.

Seeing that Lucius had regained control of the scene with just a few words, Adrian's face remained silent, and he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Lord Lord, I am the new High Priest of the Dark Moon Temple, and when I handed over to the previous High Priest, I suddenly received a metaphor from the gods. The power that has guarded the land for eternity has been destroyed, and a terrible catastrophe is creeping upon the city-state. And the source of this catastrophe is at our feet, in this castle!"

"I see!" Lucius put away the smile on his face and said, "We just entered this castle today, and until then this place has been controlled by the council, if there is something evil hidden in this castle, it must be a good thing they have done!"

The former members of parliament who gathered around Lucius immediately shook their heads again and again, saying that they did not know anything about this matter, and at the same time expressed extreme indignation at their own ignorance, and then severely criticized the speaker of the parliament who concealed the truth. This group of people tossed and turned for a long time, but the real person calmed down and didn't speak for a long time.

Lucius looked meaningfully at the ascetic in front of him, thinking of a countermeasure. The appearance of this uninvited guest affected his entire plan, and he didn't know what to do next for a while. The ascetics of the Temple of the Dark Moon have always followed the law of escapism, and they will not take the initiative to do things at all unless they are invited. And this guy in front of him completely changed his impression of the ascetic.

Lucius didn't doubt Adrian's identity, because the ascetic's detached temperament could not be imitated by ordinary people, and he considered the question of why the Darkmoon Church had always been neutral, so why would it suddenly stand up and stir up trouble at this time. He wasn't stupid, and by comparing his actions with the purpose of the Dark Moon Temple, he quickly found an answer that was close to the truth.

The Cult of the Darkmoon does not worship the physical gods, but Babylon the Darkmoon itself. And the seal of the center of the earth comes precisely from the Dark Moon, which is equivalent to the holy relics of the Dark Moon Church. As long as these things are connected, the purpose of the Darkmoon Church's temple here is also ready to be revealed—they are actually guarding their own holy relics. Lucius didn't know that the two sides had this connection, so he didn't take this unexpected factor into account.

In the face of Lucius's meaningful gaze, Adrian's face remained unchanged, and his eyes were as clear as a child who did not understand the world, without the slightest hypocrisy. While Lucius was observing him, he was also observing Lucius's reaction. Because of the old guy's troubles just now, Lucius had a buffer room to think and didn't show any feet, but he intuitively felt that this man must not have confided the truth.

Although both of them are actors, when it comes to the ability to open their mouths and tell nonsense, Adrian is the king of thieves, while Lucius is just a savage lord in the aristocratic circle, and the level gap between the two sides is very obvious. Even if it was just a change in his voice or eyes, Adrian could keenly sense the other person's inner turmoil.

These babbling parliamentarians really don't know anything, and are just expressing their loyalty with meaningless nonsense. But the new lord, Lord Lucius, must know a little bit of the inside story, but in this moment and a half, it is not enough to judge how much he is involved.

Thinking of this, Adrian decided to test it again to see what hole cards this lord had. So he stepped forward and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet! now is not the time for you to hold accountable! I hope that your lord will allow me to thoroughly investigate this castle and find the source of the disaster!"

"Of course there is no problem, you can get the right to unhindered passage. Lucius laughed, suddenly as if he remembered something, the smile on his face froze, and then he smiled bitterly, and said to Adrian: "But I'm afraid there is some trouble today, my knight and I have returned from slaying dragons, and we are tired and tired, and we haven't rested until now." If that unknown catastrophe is as terrible as you say, I think you must need the help of these lads. If you don't mind, I hope they can have a good meal and a good night's sleep, and then you can get a bunch of living warriors!"

"One night...... Adrian quietly watched Lucius's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and nodded softly, "Do your bidding, Lord Lord." (Go to read OM) (Jiangsu Net)
