Chapter 247

El and Laurana had a quick exchange of opinions in the lounge, and then had to admit such a somewhat boring fact - just looking at the face, Adrian is indeed more masculine than Lucius, Lucius The lines of Si's face are too rigid, which complements him perfectly as a soldier, and this set of shining knight armor on him also adds a lot of points to himself.

However, if these external factors are excluded, Adrian still has the upper hand. After all, Lucius is only one side of the lord, and Adrian is the world-famous king of thieves. Countless romantic affairs.His face can be said to be experienced in attracting women's nympho and men's hatred...

To be honest, his appearance is not outstanding, but it has a mysterious and melancholy temperament. Under the cover of this temperament, his originally ordinary facial features become attractive and eye-catching. But it can't be expressed in words.People say that the more ordinary the thief's face, the better. Even if someone sees him at work, he may not be able to recognize him afterwards. I don't know how he has survived to this day with this face.

"That's why I hate these guys who rely on their faces to eat." El looked back at the mirror behind him, touched his ordinary face, and said with a cold snort.He himself knew that this was pure envy, jealousy and hatred. In fact, neither of the two handsome old men outside was a simple person.

The development of the plot has leveled off so far. If there is no accident, the two story lines will not cause too much disturbance before the celebration banquet in the evening.Lucius was busy entertaining the guests, while Adrian was looking for the source of the law of chaos he sensed. Both tasks seemed to take a lot of time.In this case, two voyeurs looking forward to a passionate collision will naturally feel bored.

El's attention stayed on Adrian all the time, following his moving steps, he couldn't help frowning after a while, and thought to himself: The title of King of Thieves is really not for nothing.

Although Adrian has an attractive face, he also has unique hiding skills.He unhurriedly followed the citizens outside into the hall, lowered his head slightly, and covered his eyes with the drooping hair, and at the same time blocked the prying eyes of outsiders.Coupled with the simple black tight-fitting monk's uniform on his body, it seemed that he had added the ability to be ignored by strangers, and suddenly his sense of existence became extremely small.He passed through the crowd without making a sound, without attracting anyone's attention, even the guards and knights who passed by him were not aware of the existence of this person at all.

If it wasn't for El's deliberate attention, he would have almost lost track of Adrian just now.He just had a thought in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, Adrian had already moved a long distance away, almost out of his sight.This weird and unpredictable walking technique made Al's forehead seep a layer of cold sweat.

Lucius stood in the center of the hall, shaking hands and chatting with the representatives of the citizens who came to congratulate him.Among them, many councilors who had just finished the meeting, after the meeting was dismissed, went home and changed their clothes, and ran over to him like a friend who hadn't seen him for many years.

Although the parliament was Lucius' former mortal enemy, it was only aimed at the interest groups that were in power at the time. Now that Lucius is back in power, the power class of the city-state of Demient is about to face a new reshuffle. Great time to redistribute interests.Those families that were originally on the brink of power, or that had no enmity with Lucius, of course rushed over as quickly as possible at this time, and hugged the new lord's thigh tightly.

Even if he is said to be a hungry dog ​​begging for mercy, it doesn't matter, as long as he can return to the cake distribution table, the problem of face is never a problem.

El saw Adrian walking around the edge of the hall. Although he never raised his head, El could feel that he had been observing Lucius from various angles, perhaps because he had already had a feeling for the lord. suspicious.Besides, he was still silently familiarizing himself with the terrain here.

It only took Adrian 10 minutes to go around the area near the hall and touch all the rooms, including the lounge where El and Laurana were hiding.The aristocratic couple who were stunned by El before had returned to the window sill as if nothing had happened and continued to flirt with each other.Because they didn't die, they didn't reset their state. After being stripped of their coats, they hugged each other in their underwear like that. They looked like a pair of adulterers having sex, and the romantic atmosphere was gone.

Of course, their images have not changed in the eyes of the characters in the plot. Adrian quietly opened the door and walked in, walked around against the wall, and left quietly without disturbing the pair of idiotic men and women.Roger's men also came in and turned around, but what they saw were two naked dogs and men entangled together, and male and female servants guarding the door.

The little bandit leader pursed his lips and whistled, Yin smiled and turned around and walked out, completely oblivious to the strange behavior of the group of servants.In fact, a robber who was born in the brown earth hills may rob all his life, but he may not encounter a decent nobleman. It would be difficult for him to distinguish the abnormal clothes of the servants.

After the two left, El and Laurana breathed a sigh of relief, let their tense bodies relax, and then leaned back on the crack of the door to peep.According to the current development of the plot, the intersection of these two story lines may take longer than expected.

Adrian couldn't be sure of his goal. Although he could feel the threat posed by the law of chaos hidden in the depths of the castle, after all, he hadn't been here for a long time, and he might have to waste a lot of time trying to figure out the details of the castle. less time.

And Lucius over there, surrounded by everyone, couldn't get away for a while.If there is no accident, even if his current situation lasts until the celebration banquet in the evening, it may not be relieved.Although the power of the council has collapsed, if he wants to secure his seat in the future, this kind of entertainment is indispensable.

"Hurry up and end it, I don't know what's going on outside..." El scratched his head irritably, he just didn't know how to end this boring illusion.It may be a good idea to wreak havoc, but the consequences are unpredictable. If you take unnecessary risks just because of impatience, it will not be worth the candle.

Just when El was already planning to find a place to sleep until dark, Adrian basically completed the exploration of the castle.Human beings' talent in architecture can only be said to be commonplace. For thousands of years, the routines of building castles have been similar. Of course, those secret passages in dark rooms that they thought were hidden could not escape Adrian's eyes.

But the problem now is that there are too many secret passages in this castle. He just simply turned around and found no less than four or five hidden secret passages.Although the entrances to the secret passages can be found, no one knows where these secret passages lead to.If you want him to explore slowly by himself, he still doesn't know when to find it.

Adrian thought about it for a moment, rolled his eyes around, and suddenly had a fresh idea.He raised his head, carefully straightened the folds of the monastic uniform on his body, then cleared his throat, and walked in the direction of Lucius.

"What is this for?" Al, who was already drowsy, noticed Adrian's abnormal behavior and immediately cheered up.

"If you don't have a clear target, it's a good move to startle the enemy directly." Laurana narrowed her eyes and nodded, saying in a low voice, "No matter how Lucius reacts, he can get further clues."

Lucius had just learned about past grievances with a former congressman, who was swearing allegiance with gratitude, when he suddenly heard a strange voice from behind the crowd saying loudly: "You are in disaster!"

The sudden loud shout startled everyone in the hall.Lucius' body froze suddenly, and he turned around with a sullen face and looked in the direction of the sound.The people around him dodged under his sight one after another, and in an instant, a straight road was separated, and the direction of this road pointed directly to Adrian who was walking.

With a smile on his face, Adrian walked through the path made aside by the crowd with easy steps, came to Lucius, and bowed to greet him.

Naturally, the man known as the Thief King couldn't keep his face forever, but such a huge change like Adrian's really surprised the onlookers.When he lowered his head, he was a passer-by who had no sense of presence. Even if he passed in front of the vigilant guard knights, he could not attract their attention at all.But when he raised his head and smiled, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even though he was only wearing the simple monastic uniform of an ascetic monk, he could still seduce the hearts of ladies and ladies with just a smile.

"Ascetic monk? What's your business here?" Lucius was not overwhelmed by Adrian's sudden aura, and he noticed the identity of the visitor at a glance.It has only been a few decades since Demient was established, and this background is not enough to attract the favor of the gods.The only temple in the area was built by the Darkmoon Church. Although it is so poor that only four walls remain, it is still a genuine temple and cannot be desecrated.

Ascetic monks wearing tight monastic uniforms are not uncommon for Demient people, but these people have always paid little attention to trivial matters in the world, and all of them wish to hide in the deep mountains and old forests to cultivate.

The guy who appeared now, although he was wearing the iconic monastic uniform of the ascetic monk, his rosy face did not look like the style of the Dark Moon Church. In fact, except for the clothes on him, this guy There is nothing like an ascetic inside and out.

Adrian heard the whispers of others, but he was unmoved on the surface, just staring at Lucius, raised a hand and said loudly:

"My lord, I have brought a warning from heaven! Your people are about to face a huge disaster!"
