Chapter 272: The Mystery
Late at night, after lulling Hopkin to sleep, Lucius said goodbye to Hopkin's adoptive parents, walked out of their house, strolled through the quiet town, and walked towards the log cabin where Renault had left.
Before he could reach the front of the house, two figures suddenly appeared from the side, and Lucius stopped unhurriedly and whispered to the two figures that came out, "How is it?
The two figures that came out were naturally No. 3 and No. 4, and the two of them went to the mechanical castle, and it actually only took three or four days to go back and forth, just like Hopkin said, they had already met the two of them, and learned about the mechanical castle and some of the situations along the way.
After that, Lucius didn't wait for Renault, thinking that something might be a surprise, so he sent No. 3 and No. 4 again to go out to find Renault's traces.
And he waited in the town for so many days, secretly meeting with No. 3 and No. 4 every day, just to wait for No. 3 and No. 4 to bring back news.
In response to Lucius's inquiry, No. 3 whispered without hesitation: "Your Highness, Renault we have found it, and we have found those Avenger strongholds, and now they should have begun to rush to the town." ”
"So, they should have a lot of strongholds on the plains, right? Does Renault need to report it layer by layer?"
In the face of Lucius's question, No. 4 immediately replied: "I don't know this for the time being, but in the small town where that stronghold is located, we have been waiting for it for several days, and there is a movement tonight, and No. 3 and I will hurry back to report to you, so that you can prepare in advance." ”
Lucius bowed his head and muttered, "In this way, those Avengers are very cautious, some of them are decent, but it depends on the arrival of Renault's people." ”
As he spoke, Lucius instructed No. 3 and No. 4 again: "Okay, you go to Beludi first, replenish your energy, maybe there will be a fierce battle next, you all prepare for me." I'm also going to get my aunt and them ready, so as not to be caught off guard. ”
Three and Four were ordered to leave, while Lucius ran briskly towards Renault's cabin.
Pushing open the door, to Lucius's surprise, all the people in the house were not resting, and everyone gathered in the house, as if waiting for his arrival.
As soon as Lecius stepped into the house with his front foot, he was pushed from behind and pushed him directly into the room.
Being pushed, Lucius staggered two steps. Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Du Liniang grabbed him and grabbed him to the table to sit down.
Du Liniang continued to approach him and asked: "Stinky boy, the old lady was almost fooled by you in the afternoon, let's talk about it." ”
"Auntie, what did I say, what did I fool you again?"
"Slap" Du Liniang slapped the table and said sharply: "You kid is still playing tricks with me, No. 3 and No. 4 have been back a long time ago, but they were sent out by you again." Isn't it?"
Hearing this, Lucius turned his head and glanced around, but Du Liniang directly pressed his body, moved his face back and continued to ask: "Don't look at others." You just say no. ”
"Yes. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Lucius simply admitted it.
Hearing Lucius admit, Du Liniang raised her hand and gave him a burst of chestnuts, shouting, "Stinky boy." You are really a long skill, you dare to lie to me, my mother?"
Seeing Du Liniang's excited appearance, Lucius hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Hey." Don't worry, I have something to say. ”
But Du Liniang, who was angry, didn't care about anything else, and gave Lu Xiusi a few bursts in a row.
After the fight was refreshing, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's say, don't worry that I didn't give you a chance." ”
Lucius covered his head pitifully, and gave way to avoid some Du Liniang, and then said: "No. 3 and No. 4 came back a long time ago, but then I sent them out again to find out Renault's whereabouts, and now that they have returned, they have also found out Renault's whereabouts." ”
"So what? After waiting for so many days, do you still naively think that those so-called Avengers will agree to cooperate with you?"
Regarding Du Liniang's words, Lucius smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, although those guys are no longer credible, we must also find out the situation, otherwise how can we recapture the mechanical castle?"
Hearing that Lucius was going to take back the Mechanical Castle, everyone present was amazed, and Noko was very puzzled and asked, "Why? Lucius, I don't understand, why do you have to take the Mechanical Castle? Do you plan to stay, or do you think you can take the Mechanical Castle with you?"
Christine also followed up and said, "Yes, Lucius, we can't take that castle with us, instead of wasting time here, we might as well leave early." ”
"However, now we don't have a float now, even if we want to, so we must retake the mechanical castle anyway, so that we can get the float and continue westward, as you know the west is an ocean, and we can't walk in it on foot. ”
When Lucius said this, most of the people present fell silent, they felt that what Lucius said was reasonable, after all, without the floatboat, their next trip would be difficult.
There was a moment of silence in the room, and everyone began to bow their heads and ponder, wondering how they could recapture the floats, and how they could get out of the plains smoothly, for they still had a lot of work to do, and they could not afford to delay any longer.
But just as everyone was thinking about a way, Shadow suddenly said, "No, no......"
As he spoke, Shadow looked up at Lucius, catching the slight stiffness on Lucius's face.
Then Ying said firmly: "Lucius, you are lying to us again, you said before that you want to recapture the mechanical castle, obviously, you don't want to take that castle, the purpose of your recapture is not to recapture the floatship, you just want to help Hopkin and regain what originally belonged to their family." ”
As soon as the shadow said this, everyone also reflected, Du Liniang stepped forward with some annoyance, grabbed Lucius and said, "Are you crazy?"
Du Liniang raised her hand and wanted to punch Lucius, but her arm was raised and lowered again.
He pushed Lucius to sit down, and said with some annoyance: "Do you know what you're doing? Don't you know, now that the strength of the Prism Diamond and the Black Spear is very strong, and our time is running out, you still plan to help that unidentified little girl recapture the mechanical castle? Are you full of food?"
"Auntie, no matter what she says, she is also my sister, we have the same blood in our bodies, isn't it natural for me to help her?"
Regarding Lecius's answer, Du Liniang said disdainfully: "Bullshit, do you believe what people say? Just because of that metal card, you are going to work for that little girl?"
Lucius looked at Du Liniang with a surprised face, and looked around at the other people in the room, seeing that everyone seemed to agree with Du Liniang.
He never expected that everyone would react like this, he thought that everyone would agree with him, accept Hopkin, and help Hopkin.
But the situation in front of him was completely unexpected by Lucius.
Du Liniang's excited reaction has already shown that everyone did not accept Hopkin.
In other words, everyone did not recognize Hopkin's identity, and even felt that Hopkin was just trying to deliberately drag down Lucius and everyone.
Such a result made Lucius feel a little dazed, he didn't know why everyone was so repulsive about Hopkin?
Seeing that Lucius was at a loss, everyone also shook their heads with a wry smile, as if they were unwilling to tell Lucius the reason.
Until he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask everyone, "Why? Why ......?"
Hearing Lucius ask, "Why?" Du Liniang approached him again and said, "Why? You ask why? Haven't you seen it yet? That little girl is lying to you at all?"
"How could it be? How could she lie to me? It's impossible, auntie, don't talk nonsense. ”
Du Liniang sneered and said, "You are still not sober, have you ever wondered why those machines from the Mechanical Castle came to the town and didn't make a move on us?"
"Also, have you ever wondered if that little girl, since she has that card on her, do you think those machines will not know about it? Even Beludi and Oguferdine can feel that the card is in zài, why don't those robots feel anything? If they have feelings, why didn't they capture that little girl?"
Du Liniang questioned one after another, and Lu Xius was completely confused.
Sitting there in a daze, gradually calming down and thinking carefully, Lucius soon discovered the crux of the problem.
Just like Du Liniang said, there are too many suspicious points, including that they have been in the town for so long, neither the mechanical castle nor the Avengers have appeared, which also makes Lucius feel suspicious.
And just when Lucius was stunned, Beludi and No. 3 and No. 4 came out, and Beludi looked at Lucius and said: "No. 3 and No. 4 didn't have time to sue you, in fact, as you guessed, the so-called Avengers are the mechanical castles behind the scenes, in order to lure out the rebels among the creatures of all races." ”
Belletti's next sentence made Lucius completely shocked.
"Hopkin, on the other hand, actually grew up in a mechanical castle, and she was at the mercy of Walpole, so to speak, from the moment we passed through the misty forest and entered the plains, our whereabouts were known to each other. ”
Saying that, Beludi looked around and pointed to the town outside the window, "As for the one qiē here, the people and things in the town are actually arranged for us by the mechanical castle." ”
As soon as Belletti's words fell, before Lucius could calm down, Augustine continued: "Actually, Walpole and Vabelon of the Mechanical Castle, they have the same orders as me, and they have been waiting for your arrival, handing over everything to you, and asking you to rebuild the Sanctuary of Hope. ”
"It's a pity that the mechanical civilization here has decayed, Walpole doesn't want to give you a qiē, he doesn't want to continue to be a dominated machine, he wants to be the real master, so after you appeared, he arranged this bureau, the purpose is to determine your identity, and then take away the qiē left by Hope from you.
