Following the old fish-man and strolling through the dim passage, Lucius found that the seemingly ordinary passage actually hid many twists and turns.

Lucius felt that if there was no old fishman to lead the way, his people would not be able to find the right path even if they needed to search for a long time, and they might even end up getting lost in the intricate passages.

The old fishman seemed to know Lucius's surprise, and said as he walked, "Aren't you surprised?

Instead of answering the old fishman immediately, Lucius began to look around the passage carefully, taking in every detail of the surrounding walls by the light of the light tube in his hand.

Seeing that Lucius didn't answer himself, the old fishman looked back a little strangely, and found that Lucius seemed to be carefully looking at the lines on the surrounding walls, knowing that Lucius was a strong guy, and seemed to want to find the secret in the passage, the old fishman didn't bother, just quietly led the way in front.

After walking for a while, after a few forks in the road, Lucius finally spoke: "Sure enough, there is still a mystery, it seems that every time you pass through the fork in the road, there is always a pattern on the wall, which can be the same as the pattern on the road you passed before." ”

The port, or a kind of prison built on the peninsula, is a fortress made of steel, and it can be said that the prison was built to be extremely strong in order to be able to hold the most vicious criminals from all over the world.

Even if you enter the interior, it is not easy to climb the upper floors of the prison, because even if you lose momentum, each floor of the prison still has extremely complex defenses.

The old fishman looked at Lucius with a complicated expression, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "The place where we are is is the first floor of the basement, and the first floor of the prison is further up. After that, it went all the way up, there were seven floors, and the seventh layer had been empty at the beginning, and even the gods captured by the creator were not eligible to be imprisoned in the seventh layer. ”

"Because once the seventh layer is opened and closed, then no one can open it again, and it is said that when it was originally designed, the purpose of the creator was to deal with the powerful gods that might descend from the magic heaven, but it did not come in handy later. So it was always in the stage of abandonment, and then a group of robots arrived and sealed the mechanical core there. ”

Hearing the old fishman say this, Lucius thought for a while and asked, "So, even those guys who put in the mechanical core can't take out the mechanical core again?"

Hearing this, the old fishman nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the seventh layer is closed, it is impossible to be opened again, which is why it has been so many years." The reason why the seventh layer of prison has never been used. ”

"No wonder, no wonder knowing that we might attack those mechanical cores, the will of the castle has never taken any action against it, it turns out that the place can no longer be opened. ”

Everyone thought that Lucius was going to back down. But to everyone's surprise, Lucius said more firmly: "Since this is the case, then I should go and see if I can open the lock." ”

The old fishman was stunned for a moment. After relieving himself, he sighed: "You really plan to try, in fact, this is also a test for you by the founder, since you insist on going." Then I will personally show you the way, I will send you to the third layer, and after that, you need to go by yourself, after the fourth layer, I have no permission. ”

"No permissions?what does that mean?Why can you send me to the third layer?" Lucius felt a little strange, and couldn't help but want the old fishman to ask.

In the face of Lucius's question, the old fishman did not hide anything, and said directly: "At the beginning, the design of the prison was that the first three floors were intended to hold ordinary prisoners, so they were allowed to enter and exit at will, and I was the administrator of the prison at the beginning, so I had some special permissions. ”

"But from the fourth floor, even those with permission can't enter and exit at will, and they have to break all kinds of mechanical locks to enter it. ”

Speaking of this, the old fishman paused, and his expression became quite solemn and said: "Those mechanical locks on the fourth to sixth floors change with the operation of the machinery anytime and anywhere, and have a complete set of laws. ”

"Isn't that easy to crack?" Hearing the old fishman's words, Mogupatin, who was standing behind Lucius, couldn't help but interject.

When the old fishman heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said: "No, you think too simply, in fact, that complete set of laws, if you forcibly memorize them, there are hundreds of thousands of different changes, and it is not easy to find the rules at all, the so-called complete laws are actually for those who have drawings." ”

When Beludi heard this, she asked suspiciously, "Isn't there still no shortcut, and if you want to break through, you have to unlock those locks?"

The old fishman looked at Beludi when he heard the voice, and a smile appeared on his face to explain: "There is still a difference, the lock of the fourth layer is definitely simpler than the fifth layer, and the fifth layer is definitely not as complicated as the sixth layer, and even if the three locks of the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers are erected, they may not be able to compare to the lock on the seventh layer." ”

Lussiuston came to his senses and felt that the mechanical locks on the fourth to seventh floors were a test for him, so he decided to try: "Well, it's gradual, it looks interesting, and I really want to try it." ”

Seeing Lecius's expectant look, the old fishman finally reminded: "Since you have decided to go, I still have to remind you one last time, the control center of this former prison is on the seventh floor, so you can only break into it alone, if someone else enters with you before the control center, the prison will start to self-destruct." ”

"And this kind of thing? Did the guys who sent the mechanical core in the first place only go in one?"

But the old fishman said calmly, "Yes, those guys went in together, but they never came out again, do you also plan to be locked up inside?"

Without waiting for Mogupatin to argue and question, Lucius waved his hand to stop Mogupatin and said: "Actually, I can understand that since it is the center of the entire prison, there must be some hidden things in it, and the center must only be controlled by one person, if you can't unlock the level before the center, you are naturally not qualified to control the center." ”

Hearing this, Renault couldn't help but mutter: "So, if you can't unlock the lock on the seventh floor, won't you even have a chance to take a look?"

Although Renault's voice was very small, it was still heard by the people present, and the old fishman looked at Renault with a smile and said, "Hehe, you are right, this is the reason." ”

After that, the old fishman looked at Lucius, as if waiting for Lucius to come up with an idea, if Lucius really wanted to try, he would take Lucius directly to the third layer, if he gave up trying, then the old fishman and they planned to leave the prison and return to the home of the sea beasts in the depths of the sea.

Lucius lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and nodded firmly, "Let's go, since we are here, go over there and have a look, this can be regarded as a test for me by the teacher." ”

Seeing that Lucius had already made up his mind, the old fishman naturally didn't have any opinions, explained a few words to the sea beast behind him, and then waited for Lucius to go to the third layer together.

Seeing that Lucius really planned to try, Palupu said with some unease: "Your Highness Lucius, are you really planning to go? Do you think that old fishman can be trusted? But I always feel that something is wrong, you had better be careful, and those sea beasts may not be able to fully believe their words." ”

In response to Palupu's kind reminder, Lucius smiled and said: "Palupu, your worries are unnecessary, the old fishman did not deceive us, what they said should be true, because I once saw it in an ancient book, which recorded some scenes of this plain, which are basically the same as the old fishman's description." ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately knew that Lucius was a bamboo in his chest, and those sea beasts did not have malicious intentions, but when they thought of the killing of the sea marsh beasts before, most people still had palpitations.

Brute suddenly said to Lucius, "Lucius, what are we going to do after you leave?

"No, you all leave first, now this port is obviously empty, if I can't control the center, there is no point in you staying, I'm afraid the sea beasts won't stay, you go back to their port in Morey first and wait, if I control the center of this port, I will go back to join you. ”

Lucius's words stunned everyone, and they didn't expect Lucius to let them go back first, Renault couldn't help but exclaim: "Why? Why do you want us to go back?"

Renault's shouting was not answered by Lucius, but instead attracted the indifferent eyes of Palup, Beluti and Mogupatine, Renault knew that what he had said was a little excessive, so he quickly closed his mouth and said no more, quietly waiting for the others to ask Lucius, he could only be a listener.

Palup then asked Lucius, "Is it really okay for us to go back? Is it true that you will not be in danger here, and what if the will of the castle attacks you?"

Lucius said with a confident smile on his face: "Don't worry, if the will of the mechanical castle can really attack me, then he will already attack me, you go back first, take a look at the situation on the port side, if you encounter trouble, you must attack immediately, be sure to control all the ports on the western coast." ”

Hearing Lucius say this, everyone understood what he meant, he wanted to take the opportunity to occupy the western port, so that after obtaining the mechanical core, there would be a way back to negotiate with the will of the mechanical castle.

Without worries, Lucius can better negotiate with the will of the castle, otherwise, if there is not even a place to stay, then there is no need to negotiate with others.

Finally, he said to Mogupatin: "Mogupatin, if the port is completely occupied, you immediately drive the steam car, carry your robots, and rush to the aid of the aunt who is in charge of the feint attack on the mechanical castle." (To be continued......)
