Lin You felt that he had been shuttling in the dark for a long time.

He rode the Griffin, galloping through the underground passages.

The light in his hand was still on, and Griffin didn't hesitate, but he gradually lost his sense of time during the journey.

When he realized that something was wrong, he suddenly felt that his stomach was starting to get hungry.

This road goes on and on, and it seems that there will never be an end.

When he came out, he obviously thought that the road was fast, but when he returned, there was an unexpected fork.

"It's weird, I can't get out yet! What's going on? ”

Lin You patted Griffin on the back, "I said dude, don't you just run away, don't you feel that something is wrong?" ”

"Whew!"

Griffin threw his head up and screamed, the meaning of which was unknown......

Lin You scratched his head, "Do you have a word...... I heard you talk before, and now I'm pretending to be right? ”

"Whew! Oh! ”

Griffin responded a few times, still a simple chirp with no meaning.

It seems that it is also clueless.

Lin You thought about it seriously, patted the griffin again, let it fall from the sky, and slowed down.

Lin You rode on the back of a griffin and ignited the "dungeon fire" in his hand.

Several flames burning in the void appeared around Lin You and Griffin, dispelling the darkness beneath the ground.

Using the "Dungeon Fire" to illuminate the underground is an operation that Lin You is no longer familiar with.

He did this when he was developing the "dungeon" before.

It's just that there are no goblins as labor now, and the work of lighting up the map or anything depends on him.

So, Lin You and Griffin walked all the way forward, leaving fire marks along the way as evidence that he had walked the road.

It didn't take long for Lin You to find a light in front of him......

"Sure enough!"

He stepped forward quickly, lit the flames, and looked closely at the surrounding walls, and finally found the cat for him.

"Hey, hey! It's such a little trick......"

Lin You looked at the wall in front of him and smiled.

Someone is clearly being manipulated here.

The walls seem to be made up of two passages that are not adjacent, and in the light of the fire, there is a jagged and conspicuous joint.

And beyond the junction, and walking further, Lin You saw the first "flame mark" he had left before.

"Looks like someone has set up a portal here and teleported me back and forth many times......"

Lin You pulled out the Ice Ghost Knife, "Of course the robot can't use magic, so it will be ...... Hehe, I'd like to see whose masterpiece this is. ”

Then, with all his strength, he raised the Ice Ghost Knife and slashed down.

After destroying this reciprocating teleportation path, Lin You continued to move forward, and finally returned to the underground world of the "Machine City".

It's just that this place, which was originally full of light, has also fallen into darkness.

But at this time, it was not difficult for Lin You to find a dragon man in a place that he was already familiar with.

He followed the scent, then reflected, and immediately found Jerome, the leader of the Dragonman Legion.

"Chief, chief, you're finally back......"

When Jerome saw Lin You returning, it was like seeing a savior, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"What are you panicking about? Calm! ”

Lin You jumped off Griffin's back and reprimanded Jerome, "You are the leader of a dragon army and are so panicked when you encounter a power outage, what do you look like?" ”

"Ugh! Be! ”

Jerome immediately straightened up and showed Lin You his firmness.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Lin You asked.

He could see that Jerome's expression was a little hesitant and nervous.

To make a dragon warrior nervous to this extent, there must be something terrible going on.

Jerome may not have been the commander of the Dragonman Legion before, and this performance is understandable.

But now, now that he has become a commander, he must remain calm at all times and stand the test.

As the decision-maker and leader, nearly a thousand dragonmen are staring at his performance, if the commander is panicked, then what will the other dragonmen think?

Therefore, after Lin You came down, he deliberately kept Jerome calm first and tempered his heart.

And Jerome actually behaved okay before seeing Lin You come back, at least he didn't panic.

But when facing Lin You, he finally couldn't help but panic......

It's not because of anything else, it's just that I'm afraid of Lin You's anger and punishment.

After all, Lin You gave him the task of guarding the "mechanical merchant" Brinton, and asked him to lead the powerful dragon army to be stationed here closely, monitoring the surrounding movements, and protecting Brinton at all times.

But surrounded by such troops, he still didn't fulfill his duty and messed things up......

Not long ago, he led the Dragonman Legion on normal patrols in the vicinity.

All of a sudden, all the lights in the city went out!

Without warning, the light was lost in an instant.

Jerome was worried about an enemy attack and hurriedly went to Brinton to check where he was.

only to find that on the way back, a lot of ordinary robots have fallen, and they are all "residents" living here.

Jerome had a bad feeling in his heart.

When he returned, he found that Brinton had also fallen to the ground, and no matter what others called him, there was no reaction.

Jerome was annoyed by his dereliction of duty, after all, this was the first time Lin You had officially given him a task, and he had actually messed it up......

If it had been under Hakarin, he would have been severely punished.

As a result, Jerome was worried that he would be treated the same way when he was here with Lin You.

Therefore, he was nervous after seeing Lin You, making Lin You mistakenly think that he was panicking because of a power outage.

……

After listening to Jerome's detailed report, Lin You understood the general situation.

He didn't ask anything else, first, came to Brinton's side.

The mechanical merchant, who had been alive and kicking not so long ago, now fell to the ground like a piece of scrap that had been discarded haphazardly.

But Lin You knew that the reason for its fall and the power outage here must be because of that thing.

"Theocracy!"

Lin You repeated the word gently.

His gaze fell on Brinton, and then messages jumped into his sight......

["Theocracy" is waking up...... But it also needs more energy!

In order to "wake up", it absorbs all the electrical energy of the underground city, causing all the robots and lighting systems to be paralyzed, but this is not enough!

By supplying the Theocracy with enough energy bars, you can make it successfully free from the shackles of this machine, thereby freeing it from the Theocracy and setting it free again! 】
