The few people who were about to arrive at the altar had a new situation in front of them, and they were very vigilant for a while in the face of the young man who suddenly arrived.

"Welcome to the Golden City and pass the test! My name is Potter and I'm the housekeeper here. ”

This young man who called himself Potter was the one who came out of the bronze mirror. In the face of Lu Gui and them, Potter took the initiative to appear, and his attitude took a 180-degree reversal.

"Welcome? Test? ”

Lu Gui stood in front of Buck and them, and the pupil technique under the sunglasses was instantly opened, vigilant.

"Yes, since the day the Golden City was born, it is so that one day someone can come here, pass all the tests, and inherit the city!"

[What he said was the same as what he thought in his heart, could it be that this is really the case? 】

Lu Gui's pupils contracted, shocked by the news he read, which was different from what all of them expected.

The point is that the ability of the Hitomi Fruit actually agreed with his statement.

Could it really be that they are thinking too much, and the Golden City is really choosing an heir?

Buck and the others behind him naturally heard Porter's words, and they were all a little incredulous, and they were more willing to believe the truth that they had inquired and deduced all the way.

They unconsciously looked at Lu Gui, hoping to get his explanation.

This action was naturally seen by Potter, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.

[It seems that this Lu Gui really has some kind of ability to recognize lies, judging from his previous performance, he is through face-to-face conversations to get the information he wants.

Whether it was that Maeno Nagayasu or the others he met later, he quickly knew what he wanted in this way.

And you can quickly judge the truth and falsehood, otherwise, you can't go straight to the Golden City.

Fortunately, the entire island is under the monitoring of the bronze mirror, so such important information has not been missed.

Before I came, this body was originally a stand-in, and it had been modified to block all means of detection, I see what else you can do, get news from me. 】

As he thought, Lu Gui had doubts about his abilities for the first time.

He didn't believe it would be as simple as Potter said, but his ability to read minds had never been wrong before.

For a moment, he was stumped, and he also realized that he had relied too much on mind reading before, and now it became difficult to even judge whether a person was honest or not.

"You're the butler here? So, who is its owner and where is it now?

Moreover, the Golden City has existed for a long time, and you have always inherited and ordered, and someone has come to take your place and that of your master?

Or have you lived to the present from the beginning? ”

Lu Gui's quietness surprised Buck and them, and after a while, looking at Lu Gui, who was still silent, Anne asked her own question.

"I know that you must have a lot of questions about my identity when you come here, and at the same time, you will also question my identity.

I can understand all of this, and these questions will be answered for you later.

I'm a housekeeper, so naturally there will be a master here. He's in the palace in front of him, and they'll be able to see him when they get past the last hurdle. ”

Young Potter looked very polite, and after speaking, he pointed towards the palace.

As for his words, the fruit of the pupil technique still shows that it is undoubtedly in his heart.

Lu Gui's brows furrowed, but since he had doubts, he naturally wouldn't do what the other party said.

"We have no interest in staying here, inheriting the city, and we don't take all of what you say.

Now, we're going to go to that altar and see, are you going to stop it, are you going to do it? ”

"It's understandable, and I don't trust strangers when I first meet them.

But it's the rule here to go to the palace first, I don't have to stop you, you can't get to the altar now, if you don't believe it, you can try. ”

Potter stepped aside, his reaction once again exceeding everyone's expectations, and giving his previous words a little more credibility.

"Lu Gui, what now?"

Belle looked at the altar and the palace, a little confused.

"Captain, can he be trusted? Is there something wrong. ”

Buck and the others gathered around, whispering and talking.

"Although my ability proves that the other person is not lying, my intuition tells me that things should not be this way."

Lu Gui did not hide his own situation, and he also needed to refer to the opinions of others.

"I don't believe the nonsense of the inheritance he said, but looking at the other party's style, it seems to be above board, it's really a headache!"

Joe grabbed his hair with his hand and said worriedly.

"I think that this matter he said to him, we go ours, in fact, there is no need to dwell on this.

He himself said that no one would trust someone they met for the first time. We went to the altar as originally planned, and then we came back and broke into the palace.

You must first choose a path to go, so that you can know whether the path you are taking is the right one. ”

Buck's point of view was agreed by everyone, and Lu Gui had no opinion, so the group of them still insisted on the original idea.

The altar is right in front of you, so how can you be willing if you don't go over and try it first.

Potter watched quietly, but didn't say anything to stop him. The statement that you have to go to the palace first is not a lie.

This is the last level in front of Lu Gui, and it is also the last resort of the bronze mirror.

It concentrated the power it could control, binding the palace and the altar together.

Although the two buildings seem to be side by side, to get to the altar, you can only go around from the palace, and you can't get there directly.

Lu Gui and his entourage passed by Potter and walked towards the altar according to their own ideas.

It didn't look far, but after walking for a while, the distance didn't shorten without any shortening.

A few people couldn't help but speed up, but after more than ten minutes, it was still like this.

Lu Gui sensed the surroundings with his spatial ability, and found that the spatial structure here was abnormally disordered, which made him dare not use his ability at will, for fear of being swept away by the spatial turbulence.

Everyone stopped for a moment, and Lu Gui used the pupil technique to carefully observe the connection between the altar and the palace.

As a result, he didn't get anything, and he couldn't see how to break the game, or rather, with his current level of development, it was not enough to fully exert the ability of the Pupil Fruit.

At this point, it seems, as Potter said, skipping the palace and going straight to the altar will not be successful.

"Let's go back, it seems that if we don't break through the palace and meet the so-called city lord, we won't be able to achieve the goal of leaving."

Lu Gui turned around, looked at the palace in the distance and Potter who was still standing nearby, and said solemnly.

"I'm afraid it's a bigger trap!"

Anne sighed.

"It's endless, we just want to get out of here, why is it so hard?"

"Maybe this kind of thinking of ours may be a more dangerous thing for the owner here.

Maybe the legacy is true, but the price may be to stay here forever. ”

Buck said what everyone feared.

"Whatever the other side's intentions, we don't have a choice right now. Let's go, I guess the palace is the final level, otherwise there would be no need for a butler to suddenly appear. ”

Others also felt that it made sense, so they followed Lu Gui and returned to the starting point just now.

"Are you going to enter this palace with us?"

Seeing Potter with a smile on his face, Lu Gui asked out loud.

"Yes, my task is to guide the interlopers to where the Lord of the City is located. The palace is too big, and without me leading the way in front, a few people will take a lot of unjust roads.

And it will be delayed for too long, and our lord doesn't like to wait for someone. ”

"If you're in a hurry, why bother setting up obstacles to stop us before?"

"Hehe, you have to weigh your strength, is it enough to meet the city lord and inherit here."

Potter patiently explained, and led them to the door of the palace, and with a gentle push, a wide and straight avenue appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Lu Gui and his party stepped into it, and all kinds of golden trees were planted on both sides of the road.

A little farther away, there is a Chinese-style cloister and a wall, and there is a large hall in front of it, but once you enter, you can see that no one exists at all.

There were many auspicious clouds and mythological stories carved on the surface of the walls and pillars, and Lu Gui looked at it carefully, his face was a little strange.

"What are these murals talking about, are they people who have eaten Devil Fruits before?"

"Devil Fruits?"

Potter couldn't help but pout and repeat when he heard Lu Gui's words. Feeling that this should not be the case, he quickly returned to normal.

"No, they are all gods, and they are the same existence as the first generation of city lords here."

"Gods? It's just some powerful human beings, where are the gods! ”

Lu Gui followed Potter's words and said lightly with an expressionless face.

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you haven't. Is this island beneath your feet, and the buildings here, something that can be created by human power? ”

Potter was a little dissatisfied with Lu Gui's attitude, perhaps because he hadn't been in contact with anyone for too long, or maybe he felt that he was offended, and his voice lacked the initial enthusiasm.

"Why do you think that Devil Fruit Abilities can't do the things you say?"

"Even if it does, how was the Devil Fruit born, and was it also cultivated by humans?"

Potter's question made Lu Gui and them all stunned.

The origin of the Devil Fruit is speculated by the world, and there are different opinions, and naturally there are also gods who have left this theory.

And looking at Potter, he meant it all by the gods.

"Since you said that the gods really exist, where did they go? What about the lord of this city!

And if we inherit this place, what will happen to your master and you, will you be able to leave here, or will you have somewhere else to go? ”

Potter didn't stop, and he didn't turn around. He was in front, and they walked through the main hall with Lu Gui and came to a square.

He smiled at the question that came to his ear, and then answered in a flat voice.

"What the gods think, how can I, a little butler, know?

I guess they're not here, so they're all back to where the gods live.

As for the final fate of me and the lord of the city, we can only find out when you truly inherit this place, but I can't tell you. ”

"It's hard to believe that it's secretive."

Joe looked at the things in the square and pouted.

"Hehe, if you can pass this level, you will know everything you want to know.

So, let's get started! ”
