Chapter 273: Betrayal

After listening to Augustine's account, the panic on Lucius's face disappeared, replaced by the same indifference as before, and the confident smile hung faintly on the corner of his mouth.

The people present, seeing Lucius's smile, almost everyone felt a little nervous in their hearts, especially Augustine, who had just finished speaking, felt as if he had been dismantled by Lucius, and one by one the parts were presented in front of Lucius, and there were almost no secrets to speak of.

Belletti also felt very uncomfortable, and a frost appeared on her pretty metal face, and she stared at Lucius to speak, but she couldn't say it.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became solemn, and everyone felt as if they had a thousand pounds of boulder pressing on their hearts, and as the smile on the corner of Lucius's mouth gradually spread, the boulder continued to increase in weight.

"Hehehe...... Hahaha......" Lucius finally grinned, and finally turned into a laugh on his back, as if he had heard something ridiculous.

Lucius's laughter startled everyone's hearts, and then everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had let go of a certain burden in their hearts.

However, just when everyone thought that Lucius laughed at himself because he learned something, because he was deceived, and even Du Liniang was about to open his mouth to comfort, Lucius suddenly stopped laughing, squinted his eyes and scanned everyone, and whispered: "War is not necessarily the theme, betrayal is often the eternal theme." ”

"What ......" Everyone looked at Lucius in horror when they heard this, and they couldn't understand why Lucius, who was laughing at himself a moment ago, suddenly came up with such a sentence.

Lucius didn't get up, but still sat there and said calmly: "Actually, I should have known a long time ago that every person, every living being, every intelligent creature with the ability to think independently, will have their own desires. ”

"I used to ask for maybe the people around me were genuine to me. We all have the same goal and will work towards the same direction, so there will be no mistrust between us, and naturally there will be no so-called betrayal, and one day we will achieve our respective goals. ”

"It's a pity, I thought wrong, and it was outrageously wrong, the ending was not what I thought, trust did not return loyalty, I really didn't expect it. The return of unrestricted trust is a betrayal. ”

The room was still silent, as if every time Lucius stopped speaking, everyone could clear the sound of their own and the others' hearts thumping.

Even Belutti, Augustine, and Number Three and Number Four did not dare to make the slightest noise in the movement of their bodies, as if the slightest noise would become the betrayal of Lucius's mouth, and could bear the rebuke of everyone, all of his former partners.

"No need to hide it, I know. Every one of you has a share, I just don't understand, why? Why did you choose to betray, because I wasn't good enough, because I didn't give you enough benefits, or do you think I don't deserve to be your leader?"

Everyone looked at each other. No one opened their mouths to respond to Lucius, or no one knew how to speak, and everyone was now in shock.

I don't know how long it took, Du Liniang couldn't help but ask, "You." How do you know?"

"Hehe, how do you know? Auntie, let me ask you. Why did you follow me, why did you want to go with us to the East when you weren't with us before?"

After questioning Du Liniang, without waiting for the latter to answer himself, Lucius turned his head to look at Beluti and Augustine again: "The plan against me, how do the two machines in the mechanical castle know the fragility in my heart?"

"Noko, Shadow, Christine, Kirille, Modès, you leave town every night, can you tell me where you went?"

Lucius questioned one after another, like a knife, piercing everyone's heart, and everyone was shocked, standing there not knowing how to answer Lucius's question, or that they were still in horror, in the horror of being seen through by Lucius, it was difficult to calm their minds.

"Finally......" Lecius looked at Caroline, his eyes glistening with tears, and paused for a long time before he whispered, "It's you in the end, why? Why are you involved?"

Lucius's question remained unanswered, and everyone seemed to have fallen into a sense of panic and did not know how to answer Lucius.

Under the torture of Lucius's tear-filled hot gaze, Caroline finally couldn't bear it at first, covered her face and sobbed: "No, no, I don't want to, I really don't want to, I, I just want you to get out of here, I, I don't want you to go to the mechanical castle, I don't want you to go on any more adventures." ”

"Why? Just because you think I can't defeat that Walpole in the Mechanical Castle, are you working with each other to force me out?"

No one answered Lucius, everyone was silent, but the silent silence was actually answering Lucius's question.

"Okay, very good, it's really good, I didn't expect that everyone went through so much suffering together, and in the end it would end like this, everyone chose to betray me, hahaha, I, I was such a failure, really a failure. Lucius laughed on his back, but tears were already rolling down the corners of his eyes.

Seeing Lucius's painful appearance, Noko finally couldn't bear to speak: "Lucius, don't do this, in fact, this matter is also for your good, you want as long as Walpole is not terrible, what is really terrible is the mechanical castle, the castle that already has its own consciousness, it is really terrible, we can't defeat it." ”

"So you're going to compromise?"

In the face of Lucius's disdainful sarcasm, Noko lowered his head again and did not dare to say more.

Instead, it was Augustine who jumped on the table and said, "Lucius, you should be sober, have you ever wondered why even Vabelon doesn't have a mechanical core?"

"That's because their mechanical core has been swallowed up by that castle, and the mechanical castle has generated its own willpower, and it has changed from the position of being dominated to being the dominant, even Van Chamberlain and Walpole are under his control, and it is impossible for you and us to defeat it, so we have to leave. ”

It was completely unthinkable that mechanical castles would possess willpower, but the creation of the Sanctuary Builders was no longer new.

The mechanical core is the foundation of every robot, mechanical demon, and even mechanical spirit, allowing them to possess their own willpower.

In other words, at the moment when the founders of the Sanctuary created the mechanical core. It has been theoretically shown that as long as it has a mechanical core, it is possible for any machine to generate autonomous willpower.

Even if it is a castle made of cold metal, he will gain his own willpower.

This is the case with the mechanical castle on the Grass Sea Plain, and in order to increase his own power, he deprived almost all of the mechanical creatures of the mechanical cores, fused many mechanical cores into one, and with the help of the mysterious power left by the founder of the Sanctuary at the beginning, he has a very strong willpower.

"Do you know it, that strong willpower? It has covered the entire plain, our every move is under its watch, it is no longer a mechanical castle, its willpower is already comparable to that of the original Father, how do you think we can defeat it?"

"So we chose to compromise, as long as you were willing to hand over the Clover family's metal card and help it get a vital key in Hopkin's hand, we would be able to get out of it unharmed, and it promised us that it would never stop us. It won't hurt us either. ”

Speaking of this, Augustine looked at Lucius with some excitement: "I know you are unwilling, and I also know that you don't want to hand over the clover card, and you don't want to give up the sister who just recognized it." But you have to understand that the strong willpower of the mechanical castle is difficult for you to defeat even if you have a resting place. ”

The truth is exactly what Augustine said. The mechanical castle in the center of the Caohai Plain fuses a large number of mechanical cores, and he continues to absorb the power of the plain underground with willpower. It has continued to expand its influence outward, covering almost the entire Caohai Plain.

Using the various ethnic groups on the plain and laying machinery on every inch of the plain, it can be said that on the grass sea plain, it is the real lord and god, and he is only a willpower, so Lucius cannot use the resting place to suppress it, so Lucius has no chance of winning on the plain.

And during the waiting days, everyone saw Lucius's feelings for Hopkin, and those who knew Lecius knew very well that he was a person who didn't care about anything on the surface.

But in fact, he is a very stubborn person, and he will not hesitate to defend and protect what he really cares about in his heart.

It's as if he had ventured out in the Sanctuary and later broke into the Crimson Castle for Caroline's sake, which was Lucius's bold and persistent side, and it was his advantage to gain everyone's following.

However, this is also a disadvantage, that is, it can often put him in dangerous situations, and may even kill him.

Before, whether it was in the Sanctuary or he broke into the Crimson Castle alone, he had the grace left by the founder of the Sanctuary to protect him, but now on the plains, everyone knows that the resting place is useless here, how can they watch Lucius fight desperately?

A bitter smile appeared on Lucius's face: "So, you will unite and secretly reach an agreement with the Mechanical Castle?

Lucius's words were hard to hear, but no one refuted him, because everyone knew in their hearts that what Lucius said was the truth.

In order to be able to leave safely, everyone not only secretly betrayed Lecius to reach an agreement with the mechanical castle, but also betrayed Hopkin and those Avengers, including Renault.

Lucius looked at Number Three and Number Four with some annoyance and said, "I'm afraid that now, the mechanical army has invaded the headquarters of the Avengers and is carrying out a bloody slaughter of those Avengers, right?"

Three and Four knew very well that Lucius's words were addressed to them, and the two mechs who had begun to advance to the mechanical demon spirit level couldn't help but bow their heads.

"Hey, you are really naΓ―ve, do you really think that the Mechanical Castle will keep its promises? why do you think that every time you go to trade with the other party, why can you still live to return to the town?

"Boom" As soon as Lucius's questioning words fell, there was already a huge roar of machinery outside the town, and everyone in the room was dazed when they heard the deafening roar.

But as the town outside the house was accompanied by the sound of cannons, the screams and screams of the townspeople sounded, and the blankness on the faces of everyone in the house gradually turned into horror. (To be continued......)
