Chapter 688: The Tang Empire in Decline

After the new bodies of No. 3 and No. 4 were built, Lucius modified the crystal nucleus of No. 3 and was full of expectations to put the crystal nucleus into the new body, but to Lecius's disappointment, he did not see the "resurrected" No. 3.

The new No. 3 has lost its previous consciousness and has completely become a brand-new machine, not even the most basic wisdom has been retained, and has become the most ordinary mechanical warrior, if you want to regain your wisdom and autonomous consciousness, you still need to go through a series of advancements to complete, Lucius is very disappointed about this, but in the end he can only accept the reality helplessly.

Just as Lucius had just finished building the third and fourth mechs, there was news from outside that Sakura Rinko wanted to see him.

After receiving the news, Lucius frowned slightly, and said to Mogupatin and Ogufuddin with some confusion: "Don't you think things are very strange? What is the matter with Sakura Rinko looking for me at this time? and she is still asking me to meet at the shrine late at night." ”

Hearing this, Augustine and Mogupatine fell silent for a moment, almost god-like machines, and their brains quickly calculated at this moment, but the results did not figure out Lucius's doubts.

Augustine shook his head and said, "I can't think of what it means, but it shouldn't be a good thing, and if you want to go to the meeting, you must be careful." ”

Although Mogupatin didn't have any clue in his head, Mogupatin had a different opinion: "Wouldn't you know if you go and see it? In fact, with your current strength Lucius, no one in Fusang can pose a threat to you." ”

Speaking of this, Mogupatin glanced at Number Three, who was communicating with Number Four, and continued: "It just so happens that Number Three has just been repaired, and now it can allow him to contact more people, and he can awaken the consciousness of the crystal nucleus as much as possible. ”

Lucius glanced at Three, and it seemed that there was not much difference between Three and Four, but if you looked closely at their eyes. It can be clearly found that No. 3's eyes lack the sparkle of No. 4, this is because No. 3's current crystal nucleus has not been completely awakened, he is now an ordinary robot, intelligent to follow the orders of Lecius, does not know how to think, let alone communicate with people.

After pondering for a moment, Lucius sighed and said, "Okay, then take No. Three and No. Four to see, No. Four, you take care of No. 3 more." Before the crystal nucleus is fully awakened, the No. 3 strain will definitely not work. ”

Naturally, No. 4 agreed, but Agufordine asked a little strangely: "Lucius, why don't you control the crystal nucleus yourself? If you control the crystal nucleus, No. 3 will be equivalent to your doppelganger puppet, and you can act as you wish, wouldn't that be better?"

Lucius shook his head when he heard this: "No, I don't want that, that will hinder the awakening of the No. 3 crystal nucleus. It is better to let him control himself, which is conducive to the awakening of the crystal nucleus. ”

Hearing this, Oguferdin and Mogupatine glanced at each other, and they both knew very well. Number Three probably holds a high position in Lucius's heart.

decided to go to the meeting, so Lucius naturally didn't hesitate anymore, walked out of the workshop to prepare, and asked the messenger to go back to tell SΓΉ Sakura Rinko. I will definitely go to the meeting on time.

Mogupatin also walked out of the workshop and said goodbye to Lucius: "Now that the third and fourth have been transformed, I will go back. Now that Du Liniang and they are all ready, just waiting for your last order, we can start to act, and I believe the result will be satisfactory. ”

Lucius grinned and smiled confidently and said, "Hehe, of course, I believe in the ability of the aunt, and if the aunt leads, I believe it will be foolproof." ”

Before leaving, Mogupatin reminded Lucius: "You can't be too optimistic, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and you still have to be on guard, in case the Tang Empire really sends troops to intervene, I'm afraid we may not be able to resist it." ”

Lucius shook his head and responded: "Don't worry, the Tang Empire will not send troops, as the largest empire in the East, the monarch of the Tang Empire still wants to maintain peace in the East on the surface." ”

Mogupatin grinned, "Hopefully, but we'd better be prepared." ”

Lucius knew that Mogupatin had always been cautious, otherwise he would not have lurked in the Grass Sea Plain Mechanical Castle for so many years, and he had never exposed his near-godly strength, he would always think about things very carefully, and try to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Therefore, he was worried that the Tang Empire would directly send troops to Fusang, if that was the case, it would be impossible to resist Fusang's troops.

Although Lecius can use the mechanical corps in his hand to block the Tang Empire's army, then Lucius will also expose himself and will be regarded as the biggest threat by the Tang Empire.

Lecius traveled thousands of miles to the East, not to reveal his strength, but to go to Middle-earth in the East, to find some relics left by the founders, and to establish his own power in Middle-earth.

Use the power of the East to counterattack the West, in order to break the monopoly of the descendants of other card royal families, so as to get a real opportunity for development, and prepare for the rebuilding of the Sky City.

In today's situation, it seems that Lucius is not afraid of anyone, but in fact he does not have his own foundation, if he really fights head-on with the descendants of other card royal families, he will inevitably suffer, and once defeated, he will not even have a chance to make a comeback.

In fact, Mogu Padin took these into account, so he planned a lot and thought a lot, and he was even more worried that the Tang Empire would send troops.

Lucius braked Mogupatin's worries, and said directly: "Actually, I am also prepared, the big deal is that we abandon Fusang and give Fusang to the Tang Empire, so as to win the favor of the monarch of the Tang Empire, so that we can enter the Tang Empire smoothly, and even gain the trust of the Tang Empire." ”

Immediately after that, Lucius analyzed: "In fact, the current Tang Empire is not invulnerable, the so-called prosperity is declining, the Tang Empire is already too strong and has begun to weaken." ”

"I believe that the descendant of the King of Hearts also saw this, so he incarnated as a guy named Bai Meng and entered the Tang Empire, even at the expense of subservient people just to be able to gain some real power and status. ”

Listening to Lucius's words, Mogupatin couldn't help but smile and said: "This shows that guy is smarter than you, knows how to hide himself, and it is easier for him to gain the trust of the monarch by doing so, after all, no monarch wants to see a courtier beyond their control appear." ”

Rusiuston fell silent, lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and said, "Maybe you're right. But I don't think that descendant of the King of Hearts is really trusted, otherwise how would he have been arranged to come to Fuso?"

Then Lucius continued to analyze: "According to the information I have gathered, there are now disagreements within the Tang Empire, and there is a situation of the so-called Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, and the two Holy Beings co-govern, which is similar to some Western countries where divine power and imperial power coexist, and the two people in power will inevitably have differences and fight with each other, which is also the expression of the prosperity and decline of Fusang." ”

"And the descendant of the King of Hearts. The last thing he should do is to participate in the power struggle of this kind of person in power too early, and from the interception of that letter, it is enough to see that he and that Pei Yan belong to two camps, which is what he is not wise about. ”

"Oh?" said Mogupatin, a little puzzled, "why do you think he is so unwise? Shouldn't he choose the stronger side to support him? ”

Lucius nodded and said, "Yes, it is true that those in power do not want to be left or right. However, the situation in the Tang Empire is different, in the final analysis, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress are husband and wife, and they are their own family, and they may have political differences. But they will never fight to the death. ”

After a pause, a smile appeared on Lucius's face and continued, "So if it were me, I wouldn't have chosen a side. Instead, he put on a neutral posture and was loyal only to the entire Tang Empire, not to a certain person. ”

Mogupatin's head raced. The final answer was to approve of Lucius's approach: "Well, I'll admit it, your idea is obviously better." ”

Lucius watched Mogupatin push open the door and walk out, and before Mogupatin closed the door, he said: "Mogupatin, go back and tell Aunt SΓΉ, if the Tang Empire really sends troops, I hope she can come forward." ”

Hearing this, Mogupatin was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, he knew that Lucius had made full plans.

If the Tang Empire really sent troops, Du Liniang would come forward to give up Fusang, I am afraid that she would be the best candidate, and she would be recognized by the Tang Empire.

Watching the wooden door slowly close, Lucius said to the somewhat empty room, "Okay, let's get ready, and wait for the invitation to go to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

As soon as Lucius finished speaking, the voices of Trumpets Three and Four sounded in the darkness, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed, and darkness enveloped the whole room.

After sitting in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, Lucius suddenly got up, straightened his clothes, prepared all the equipment he was carrying, and then got up and walked in the direction of the door, and in the darkness No. 3 and No. 4 quickly followed.

When the door opened, the scene outside was in front of the stone steps of the mountain shrine, and Lucius only had to step out of the door to step directly onto the stone steps.

Without hesitation, Lucius stepped up the stone steps and walked slowly down the stone steps towards the shrine at the top of the mountain.

Behind him, No. 3 and No. 4 followed closely, and after they walked out of the door, the door that had been open in front of the stone steps behind them slowly closed, and then the door disappeared into thin air, and at the end of the stone steps was still a dim forest path, and the door that had opened at random before had long since disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Walking up the stairs, did Lucius raise his head and look up at the sky, the sky above his head seemed to be as clear as being washed by water, and the starlight filled the night sky with a bright moon, especially the round and huge bright moon, which seemed to be within reach.

Not long after, Lucius walked to the end of the other end of the stone steps, and saw the mountain gate of the shrine, Asuina was waiting in full costume, and when he saw Lucius's arrival, Assuna bowed and saluted: "His Royal Highness Lucius, Your Majesty is already waiting for you inside, please." ”

Although Lucius felt a little strange, he didn't hesitate at all, and under the guidance of Asujina with small steps, he walked straight across the mountain gate towards the shrine. (To be continued......)
