Liu Bang said, took out a dark purple little thing from his arms, the thing moved in Liu Bang's hand, and then opened a pair of wings!

It was a small bat, very beautiful, with a smooth body surface and almost no fluff, it fluttered in Liu Bang's hand, and then flew up, and after a few slow flutters in the air, it finally landed on Xiang Yu's hand. Xiang Yu stared at the bat, and the more he looked at it, the wider his eyes opened, and his expression became serious and shocked.

The little bat had some strange pattern on its wings, symmetrical on both sides, and when it opened its wings straight, the strange pattern actually formed some kind of strange symbol, no! It's not a symbol, it's a word—

"Mi" - Qin Chu Inner Country, Giant Ruler Mountain. After leaving the main road leading to the inner country of Yuanzi Mountain, Zhang Liang and Han Xin found a winding remote path between the mountains, forests and wilderness, and entered the inner country of Qin and Chu. Because the path is very remote, there are many cities far away along the way, but it doesn't matter, they themselves enter the inner country not to play, but to have a mission, they have to go to Merlin City to find Mozi.

So they walked a few hundred meters, and then came to a remote mountain in the inner country, the name of the mountain is huge, it is a mountain located on the periphery of the inner country of Qin and Chu. It is not an independent mountain, but stretches around several peaks to gather, the whole mountain is very peculiar, it can be said that it is a strange place in the country of Qin and Chu, but because the geographical location is too remote, so it is inaccessible.

However, there is another reason why the mountain is too steep, and even the mountain road has a slope of seventy or eighty degrees, close to a right angle - so even if Han Xin walks on it, he must use all his strength to control the magic blue energy angle in his body - so even if Han Xin walks on it, he must use all his strength to control the magic blue energy in his body to stabilize his steps, so that he can walk up step by step. However, in comparison, Zhang Liang was much more relaxed, as a demon mage, he never landed on his feet, but stood on his feet and walked in the void.

I saw Zhang Liang holding an ancient book in his hand, a windbreaker hunting, and his figure floating lightly beside Han Xin, who was on a difficult hike, slowly ascending with him. "Is Merlin City on this hill?" Zhang Liang flew lightly and asked. "Hmm...... Almost, halfway up the mountain. Han Xin focused on his steps up the mountain and said breathlessly, "I heard that this city was built by the god craftsman Mozi himself several years ago, and the appearance of the city is very different from ordinary cities. "Divine Craftsman Mozi......" Zhang Liang whispered the name and said again.

"It is rumored that he is the first person recognized by Qin and Chu as the first person in the technique, and there are remnants of ancient artifacts in the world, and the artifact has the power that ordinary blades cannot match, so it is sought after and contested by the world, and Mozi, it is rumored that he can create weapons comparable to divine weapons, and is rumored to be the 'divine arsenal living in the world', known as the 'divine craftsman'......"

"That's right, and Mozi is kind and virtuous, and even our King Chu admires him." Han Xin said while looking at the steep mountain road under his feet. "Then again, Brother Xin, why did the King of Chu want you to bring a crimson heart to Mozi?" Zhang Liang asked. "This ...... It's because about half a month ago, Mozi broke the news that he needed a piece of Crimson Heart as a material for the development of the mechanism, but the Crimson Stone Statue is a rare wild monster, and the Crimson Heart is also a cherished thing, how can it be so good...... Even if the average person has, he is definitely not willing to take it out

"But for us, this matter is not so difficult, after all, outside Longshun City, in addition to the ancient land, it is also adjacent to a medium-sized wild area such as Julu Canyon, where you can always find one or two crimson stone statues, and our King Chu because of the kindness of Mozi in the early years, so in this matter, we must help, so he ordered me to hunt a crimson heart and give it to Mozi." "That's right...... Then you said before, after going to Merlin City, didn't you still have to go back to the inner country to meet your Frost Princess? Zhang Liangfu asked. That's right, after finding Mozi...... I'll be free......" Han Xin said, actually showing a happy smile, "I got engaged to Zhaojun three years ago, but suddenly received a holy order to guard the border city. The king's life is difficult, and the family and country are difficult, so I have to put aside my personal emotions and go to guard Longshun City as the vanguard of the king of Chu. ”

"Because of this, I am thousands of miles away from Zhaojun, I miss it deeply, and I have spent every day like a year for three years, and I can't bear to let Zhaojun wait for me so alone. So I asked the king of Chu for a transfer, and the king of Chu agreed. After I send Mozi the Crimson Heart this time, I can return to the inner country and reunite with Zhaojun. The mountain road under his feet became steeper and steeper, and Han Xin was interested in speaking so long words together, so his face was flushed and he kept panting. But...... Now that someone in Yuanzi Mountain secretly intercepted the road, I have to find a way to inform the king of Chu...... I'm afraid that going back to Zhaojun will have to delay for some time......" Thinking of this, Han Xin's face became serious again. "Don't worry...... Anyway, you can already go back to the mainland, and you are not afraid of delaying these few days......" Zhang Liang said softly.

The two chatted all the way, and continued to move forward, half an hour later, the mountain road finally came to an end, and Han Xin finally sat down on the ground as if he was relieved, at this time, in front of the eyes of the two of them, there was an iron-walled giant mountain standing with the mountain just a signpost, and the real Merlin City was built surrounded by mountains. The huge city is built on the mountain, and the inky black city wall highlights a sense of calm solidity, and the left and right ends of the wall are connected to the mountain wall, and the whole city is like an ink seal deeply embedded in the hinterland of the mountains. It wasn't until they approached Merlin City ten steps away that Zhang Liang and Han Xin deeply felt the strangeness and magnificence of this huge city wall, which looked only a touch of black from a distance—the entire city wall was built with obsidian walls of completely different sizes, lengths and widths.

Tens of thousands of square obsidian stones of different scales are built together to form a complete square wall, and this unpretentious city surface contains some peculiar mathematical logic. At the same time, because of the different scales, the gaps between the masonry and stone form a jagged group of lines, which seems to be a very irregular arrangement, but it gives people a sense of regular beauty. Zhang Liang obviously deeply appreciated the beauty of the rules hidden in the irregularity, and his bright eyes did not hide his surprise at this city wall.

But Han Xin's expression was a little different, the angle was different, he was not a sage who had been thinking about the world for a long time, but a battle-hardened warrior, and his keen eyes made him immediately realize a real problem - this wall has no city gate!

Yes! The wall was made entirely of obsidian, and there was nothing superfluous or mutilated - and of course there were no gates - but despite the practicality of the walls, it would be a kind of destruction of this strange wall if it were to be forced.

So Han Xin moved his gaze to both sides, but he didn't see anything resembling a "door". I just saw that at each end of the city wall stood a defensive tower that was a few steps higher than the wall, and the defense tower was also inky black, obviously also made of hard obsidian, and the top of the tower was a crystal sphere the size of a human head. The sphere is called the Light Prism, which continuously absorbs the sun's light energy as a storage energy source and converts the energy into an attack in the form of light - the Light Cannon.

Beneath the Prism Orb are five tower-ring mechanical eye guards, constantly scanning their surroundings, probing for anomalies and identifying enemies. The Prism Bead's attack system and the Eye Guard's detection system are linked together - this unguarded, self-defending, self-defended tower is a landmark masterpiece in the history of mechanics, and its inventor is Mozi, who is known as the Divine Craftsman.

Just when Han Xin noticed the defense tower, the mechanical eye guards on the tower also detected him and Zhang Liang who had come to the city wall. At this moment, a voice came from inside the city wall, yes, it was inside the city, not on the city wall, Han Xin had specially observed before, this strange city wall also had no traditional top of the wall, and there were no defenders on the wall at all.

"Who are you? What are you doing in Merlin City? Hearing this question, Zhang Liang also came back to his senses, at this time, Han Xin said loudly to the city wall: "I am Han Xin, the vanguard general under the command of Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, he is my brother-in-law Zhang Liang, I was ordered by the king of Chu to come to Molin City to ask to see the god craftsman Mozi!" "What proof is there for your identity?" After a while, the voice inside the city walls continued to ask.

Han Xin paused for a moment, and then said, "I have a token determined by the official title. "Lift it up!" When Han Xin heard this, he raised the token in his hand, and deliberately aimed at the direction of the eye guard on the defense tower, he flipped the token in his hand, so that the eye guard could scan the front and back of the token - the front of the token is engraved with a mighty and domineering "Chu" word, and the back is engraved with the five words "Pioneer General Han Xin".

After a while, the voice of the city said, "It's all right, let's go into the city!" Although they heard the permission, Han Xin and Zhang Liang were still at a loss, they really didn't know how to get along with this impermeable wall. At this moment, a low and clear sound of the operation of the mechanism sounded, and after a short sound, the strange black city wall underwent indescribable changes. The obsidian bricks of different scales move along irregular line gaps, some bulging outward, some turning inward, and after a strange change, the walls appear even more mysterious, the masonry is uneven, and the walls are uneven, like a giant building block built haphazardly.

However, a closer look reveals a striking clue to the intricacies of the intricacies – the outwardly protruding masonry has formed a strange circular staircase that one can walk up until one reaches the top of the city wall. There, a massive obsidian brick receded into the wall, leaving for a ten-foot-long and wide square entrance—the only entrance to the city! - Qin-Chu border city Longshun City, the camp of the king of Chu.

Xiang Yu stared at the bat with the word "Mi" that fell on his hand with a serious expression, and the previous decadent laziness said, "What does this mean?" Where did you find this bat? Liu Bang looked at Xiang Yu and said with the same serious face: "One night, I woke up from my sleep, and when I woke up, I saw this bat-like bat at the head of the bed. Xiang Yu listened to Liu Bang's words while carefully looking at the patterns on the bat's wings, as if he wanted to see some flaws in them. You don't have to look at it, before I came to you, I had carefully observed it hundreds of times, and there was no mistake, it was the real Gourded Bat! Liu Bang said to Xiang Yu.

"But you and I both know what kind of meaning this bat-patterned bat symbolizes!" Xiang Yu turned his gaze back, and the seriousness between his eyebrows deepened a little, "This is a magic bat that can only be condensed by consuming the vitality of the Empress Dowager Miyue!" "Mi Yue, the imperial concubine of Emperor Qin and Chu, the nominal mother of Yingzheng, is also the Empress Dowager Xuan of the current royal family, and at the same time, she is also the equalizer of the current emperor Yingzheng.

And the Mi pattern bat is a kind of secret token belonging to Qin Chuxuan's Empress Dowager Miyue, and only those who really know her know it. Mi Yue is a natural demon wizard, who has comprehended and practiced the most bizarre demon Dao, so he has mastered some unimaginable ordinary people and looks like a demon. Among them, the most special thing is that she can use the magic path to condense the bat with the word "Mi" that belongs to her-Mi pattern bat. This strange lifeform has many mysterious effects, and this bat itself is not any other substance, it is a part of Miyue itself, and it is the vitality of Miyue herself condensed with magic blue energy! Therefore, even if there is magic, if it is not a major incident, Empress Dowager Xuan Miyue will never easily sacrifice her life to condense that little "I know...... It is precisely because of the significance of this bat that I dare not be careless, so I brought it to discuss with you. Liu Bang looked at Xiang Yu and said seriously.

"Does this bat have any information?" "No, no information, just a bat." "Didn't bring any information?" Xiang Yu's eyes became puzzled, "That is, I don't know what I mean...... "Then what do you think of this matter...... ...... to this unexplained bat, "I'm afraid something happened to the palace......" Liu Bang looked at Xiang Yu's eyes and said in a deep voice, word by word, "If it weren't for something uncontrollable, the equalizer wouldn't have used the Pattern Bat to warn us......"

"The guess...... It's too bold......" Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, his eyes faintly moving. Although he said so, the thoughts in his heart were actually similar to Liu Bang, and he also knew very well that if it wasn't for what happened, Miyue would never use the Mi Pattern Bat to remind them...... "It's not right...... Xiang Yu thought for a while and said, "If something really happened in the palace, why didn't Ying Zheng write anything in the political document sent every month, and the envoy who came just now didn't mention it?" ”

"This is also what makes me suspicious......" Liu Bang said, "but in the end, the Silked Bat is of great significance, and the only explanation can only be that His Majesty doesn't want us to know about the matter, so that we can guard the border with peace of mind......""—But the equalizer and his opinions are not consistent, so use the Silky Bat to warn us ......?" Xiang Yu looked at Liu Bang and said.
