Within a few days, Taiyuan Xuezhai returned from Ibaraki, but to his surprise, he didn't see Lucius for the first time, and the entire Takeda family mansion almost didn't know where Lucius went.

What made everyone feel strange was that no one saw Lucius leave the Takeda family, and no one saw him leave Chiba Castle, but everyone searched the whole city and couldn't find any trace of him, but from time to time they could see No. 3 and No. 4 appear, and even Asukana's younger brother Shirou was nowhere to be found.

Taiyuan Xuezhai waited at Takeda's house for a few days, and finally couldn't help finding No. 3 and No. 4, and wanted to inquire about Lucius's whereabouts, but he didn't want to be given up by Lucius like this.

In the face of the two metal men, Taiyuan Xuezhai was also a little apprehensive, but in the end, he still mustered up the courage to ask directly: "Two adults, I just want to know the whereabouts of His Highness, I have been back for many days, and I have something very important to report to His Highness, I don't know if the two adults can help Xuezhai introduce?"

No. 3 didn't pay attention to Taiyuan Xuezhai at all, in the eyes of No. 3, except for Lucius, he would hardly put anyone in his eyes, let alone Taiyuan Xuezhai and those who took refuge in Lucius.

On the other hand, No. 4 was more peaceful, and said to Taiyuan Xuezhai with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Your Highness has explained that no one is allowed to disturb him for the time being, so you better wait a few more days." ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai was a little helpless when he saw this, and wanted to say something, but No. 3 had already scolded impatiently: "Let you wait obediently, do you think that if you take Ibaraki, you can see Your Highness casually? Hmph, if it weren't for His Highness sending mechanical warriors, you would be able to take Ibaraki easily?"

In the face of No. 3's reprimand, Taiyuan Xuezhai suddenly closed his mouth, bowed to No. 3 and No. 4, turned around and left alone.

Seeing the back of Taiyuan Xuezhai leaving, No. 4 whispered to No. 3: "No. 3, is it a bit too much for you to say that?" They are still useful to His Highness, you say so, what if he betrays His Highness?"

No. 3 said nonchalantly: "What's there? These guys, on the surface, seem to be loyal to His Highness, but in fact, they all have their own careful thoughts behind the scenes, we don't need to give them a good face at all, if they dare to have different intentions, we will directly solve it for His Highness." ”

Three and Four have undergone a constant transformation and gradually evolved into a human being, even though they are robots made of metal machines. But because they have an independent mechanical crystal nucleus, it is a unique magical product, originally a treasure used by powerful magicians of the Magic Heaven to protect their souls.

Later, after entering the Magical Heaven with the help of powerful mechanical treasures, the Founder of the Sanctuary learned about the existence of this special soul Crystal Nucleus, and stole the manufacturing method of the Magic Crystal Nucleus.

After returning from the Magic Heaven, the Founder originally wanted the people of the original Sanctuary to use this magic crystal nucleus, so that they could have the same eternal life as the gods of the Magic Heaven.

However, it was later discovered that the Crystal Nucleus could not be integrated into the body of living beings. Because the magic crystal nucleus will continue to extract the life force of living beings, it will become a burden for ordinary living beings.

Later, after the transformation of the founder, the special magic crystal nucleus derived from the magic heaven was integrated into the machine he made. In this way, there is the so-called mechanical demon spirit, and in the process of continuously absorbing energy from the outside world with that special magic crystal nucleus, a special soul-like substance will gradually be formed.

As a result, mechanical spirits will come into contact with humans or other intelligent beings. Gradually, they develop an autonomous consciousness and begin to have emotions such as joys, sorrows, and sorrows of intelligent beings.

It's like Number Three and Number Four, both of them, although they were both made by the Clover family at the same time. However, in the process of continuous evolution and transformation of the magic crystal nucleus, the two of them have formed different personalities.

Number Four is more easy-going, and most people who follow Lecius are generally willing to communicate with Number Four, because Number Four usually does not get angry, and always puts on a smiling face towards people, although his metal face does not look good, but it gives people a more easy-going feeling.

Number Three and Number Four are completely different, Number Three is more calm and cold, he seems to treat everyone except for Lucius, with a cold face, just like his cold metal body, which will make people feel intimidated when they see it.

Over time, even Du Liniang and others are reluctant to touch the cold face of No. 3 many times, most of the time Du Liniang and they have something to say to Lucius, and most of them will pass the word through No. 4.

No. 4 will sometimes say No. 3: "Can't you always have a cold face? ”

But No. 3 always disagreed: "I'm me, how can I affect Your Highness?" Let me smile at those guys, I really can't laugh, not to mention those guys are not worth laughing at. ”

In the face of No. 3's resolute attitude, No. 4 could only change the topic abruptly: "No. 3, how long do you say it will take His Highness this time? Could it be that it will take longer than the previous transformation of Takeda Koji and Soga Inamo? It seems that there is not much problem with that Shirou's body, right?"

No. 3 didn't mind No. 4 changing the topic, and replied with a deep groan on his head: "There is no problem with that Shiro's body, it should still be that there is some problem with the mechanical source core of the Infinite Sword Domain, so His Highness plans to make some adjustments." ”

Hearing this, Number Four was puzzled and asked, "That mechanical source core was made by the Sage at the beginning, can His Highness really transform it?"

No. 4 didn't question Lucius's ability, he just felt that the things made by the original Sanctuary Builder were too old, and some of the original technologies might have been lost for many years, and Lucius might not be able to truly restore the original technology, and it would become very troublesome to transform.

For these, No. 3 was not worried, he said very calmly: "Naturally, don't forget it, Your Highness has obtained the inheritance of the Sage." ”

No. 4 still felt a little unsecure, and couldn't help muttering: "Even if you have the inheritance of the Sage, but that mechanical source core is by no means a simple mechanical source core, there is a sword skill of the Infinite Sword Domain that dominated one side at the beginning, and there will be problems if you are not careful, I think Your Highness should bring the two of us." ”

After listening to No. 4's words, No. 3 finally understood why No. 4 was complaining, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, do you really dare to think, do you think the skills of the two of us can be stronger than Lord Oguferdin?"

"What? Your Highness is taking Lord Ogufoddin with you? Really, isn't Lord Ogufoddin in charge of guarding the warship? Why is he always with His Highness now?"

"Dangdangdang" No. 3 knocked No. 4 metal head a few times and said: "Don't forget, there are only two of us who spend the most time with His Highness, even if it is Lord Belude, the time spent with His Highness is not as much as the two of us, are you still not satisfied?"

No. 4 suddenly grinned: "That's right, or we have been with His Highness the most time, this time His Highness has finished transforming the mechanical source core, he should take us to other places, right?"

No. 3 shook his head and responded: "I don't think so, according to the previous analysis of Lord Du Liniang, although His Royal Highness has the advantage at the moment, Chiba is not stable here, and Oda Nobumitsu and Su I Inamome have not completely stabilized their respective forces, I'm afraid we won't leave Chiba for the time being." ”

The reason for the No. 4 personality is more active, so naturally he is not willing to stay in one place, and he prefers to be able to walk around more and get in touch with all kinds of different people and things.

It's just that in the current situation, Lucius will definitely not leave Chiba lightly, and he doesn't want to expose himself too much for the time being, because the purpose of shocking the Tokugawa family has been achieved, and the rest is to give Oda Nobumitsu and Soga Inamime enough time to let them gain a firm foothold and strengthen their respective strengths.

Number Four also knew Lucius's plan in his heart, but his beating heart was full of motivation, wanting to go farther and see, and even he wanted to become an ordinary mechanical warrior, but he participated in the siege of Oda Nobumitsu and Soga Inamo, and he felt that life would be more exciting that way.

No. 3 is very aware of some of No. 4's thoughts and understands his active personality, and he is unwilling to stay in Chiba and wants to participate in the conquest of the Quartet.

After a moment of silence, No. 3 couldn't help but persuade: "Fourth, I still want to remind you, don't forget our identity, we are the eldest and second faction by His Royal Highness's side, our main task is to ensure the safety of His Highness, even if His Highness's strength is not bad, but the so-called two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, we are by His Highness's side, His Highness is safer." ”

Hearing No. 3's persuasion, No. 4 reined in his throbbing heart, nodded and said, "I understand, third, don't worry, I won't leave Your Highness casually." ”

As soon as No. 4 finished speaking, suddenly No. 3 and No. 4 saw through their special optical eyes that there were a few guys sneaking around not far away, as if they were looking at the situation in Takeda's house intentionally or unintentionally.

Although those two people were hidden in the void, leaving only one phantom that ordinary people could not see at all, the mechanical eyes of No. 3 and No. 4, after being transformed by Lucius, had a special lighting method, which would converge the surrounding light sources in their eyes, and it was easy to find those hidden guys.

Seeing the two sneaky figures, No. 3 and No. 4 looked at each other, and No. 4 said excitedly: "Hehe, what Your Highness said is really right, those guys will really send people again." ”

Saying that, No. 4 was a little eager to try, and wanted to capture the two guys who were hiding with ninjutsu, but he was stopped by No. 3.

Number Three said solemnly: "Don't worry, it seems that there are more than these two people, let's find out the other people first, find their leader, and then attack their leader directly." ”

No. 4 suddenly became excited when he heard this, nodded and said: "Not bad, this is a good way, find out the leading guy first, I believe that the leader this time must be a master, just so we can go and play with the master, and see how much strength the Tokugawa family has."
