Chapter 972: The Stone Hall at the Bottom of the River
Lucius can be said to have done what he said, and on the same day, he took some people and went directly to the heart of the river under Songjiang City, which had been opened.
In fact, Lucius knew very well in his heart that his seizure of Songjiang City would soon be known by many people, and if he hadn't been able to completely transform Songjiang City before those guys reacted, I was afraid that he might lose control of Songjiang City.
This hub, which towers over the Tianjiang River, connects the north and south of the entire East Middle Earth, and connects the east, west, north and south of Middle Earth, is definitely something that Lucius must hold in his hands.
Because only by holding such a place in his hands, Lecius can let go of the development of his own power in Middle-earth, perhaps this is another suspicion of usurping the Tang Empire, but Lecius does not care about those criticisms, and his eyes cannot be limited to Middle-earth or even the East.
He did this in order to spread his steam machinery civilization, to let the steam machinery civilization spread completely in the East, to compete with the two eternal god kingdoms of the fairy realm and the Buddha kingdom.
Lu Xius knew very well that his actions would even be targeted by the Tang Empire, and maybe the two saints and the master would turn against him, but in order to be able to completely eradicate the Eternal God Kingdom, and establish his own power, so that he could develop and grow in the east, Lu Xius would rather turn against the two saints and the master.
Naturally, before those people turn against him, he must have enough capital in his hands, first of all, to control this most important transportation hub in Middle-earth, which is located in the center of Middle-earth.
Follow Lucius on a stone staircase leading to the center of the river, and the sound of the river beating outside can be faintly heard in the dim corridor, which makes everyone who comes with Lucius surprised.
Christine herself observed the surrounding walls and could faintly see water seeping from the walls.
Connected to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore outside, Christine asked with some concern: "Lucius, you said that this alley will not be washed away by the river outside, right?"
Lucius replied with a smile: "Don't worry, it's very sturdy here." If it is washed away by the river, then you also underestimate the former sages of the local civilization in the East, how can they say that they are also the people who created the civilization, and the city built has been standing on the river for so many years, how can it be washed away by the river?"
Listening to Lucius's words, Christine and the others who came with her were all relieved.
With the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, everyone walked down the stairs, and the spiral stairs seemed to have no end.
This time, in order to be able to crack the ancient formation as much as possible, except for Du Liniang. Lucius brought almost everyone with him.
Bringing so many people with them was to use everyone's different strength to solve the problems that the entire underground ancient array might encounter at one time.
It's like some of the weird traps and secret doors, you can use Shadow, a guy from the Dark Temple, to easily find traps that might be hidden, and open those traps and secret doors.
And if you encounter some soul attacks, you can use Christine, a soul mage, to protect everyone from being attacked, and not to be accidentally deprived of their souls. will not be taken advantage of by the residual thoughts of those Eastern sages.
Caroline is naturally a model of breaking the magic with strength, while Modis and Kiriel have powerful natural life spells, which can shelter everyone and supplement their strength. and do your best to heal your injuries.
It can be said that Lucius is very well prepared, and with himself and Belletti, Oguferdin, and Mogupatin present, he can also deal with various mechanisms and devices.
Boring on the spinning staircase. Christine couldn't help but ask again: "Lucius, it seems that you are familiar with this place, and you can always detect some crises in advance." And you know which of us can easily solve the crisis, have you been here before?"
Lucius seemed to have known that Christine would ask himself such a question, and he shook his head very directly and said, "No, I haven't been here, and this is my first time." ”
Listening to Lucius's answer without hesitation, everyone present was suddenly shocked, and they were very puzzled that since Lucius had never been to Songjiang City, why could he still know so much about this place?
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Lucius stretched out his arm and slowly spread his palms in front of everyone.
Everyone watched, one by one, small mechanical insects flew out of Lucius's palm, and quickly flew towards the end of the dim staircase in front of them, and soon some small mechanical insects flew back and fell into the mechanical source core of Lucius's palm.
After that, the mechanical source core of Lucius's palm flickered, and everyone was surprised to see that the scene of the stairs in front of him was all presented in the palm of Lucius's palm.
Seeing the change in Lucius's palm, everyone was shocked, and they all understood why Lucius was able to know the danger in the passage in advance.
Lucius gathered his palms and said to everyone with a smile: "It seems that we should not encounter danger in the next part of the journey, so let's speed up the process, and hope to reach the end of the passage as much as possible." ”
With the detection of the mechanical bugs released by Lucius, they can predict the danger in the passage in advance, and Lucius and their travel speed is naturally very fast, although the staircase passage seems to be very long, but Lucius and they still reach the end of the stairs quickly.
At the end of the spiral staircase, a quaint stone door appeared in front of everyone, and it could be seen that the stone gate was very old.
However, from the carved patterns on the stone gate, as well as the traces of the stone gate being polished and trimmed, it is not difficult to see that the person who built the stone gate should be a very refined person, so even the stone gate must be carefully carved, making the stone gate look very smooth and clean.
Examining the stone door carefully, Caroline spoke first: "It seems that the people who built this place really attached great importance to this place, and just a stone door should be carved so beautifully. ”
In fact, the other people present were also very surprised, you must know that this stone gate has obviously been silent under Songjiang City for many years, but the people who built this place in the first place actually spent so much effort to carve a stone gate so exquisitely, which is really a little strange.
But strangely, everyone didn't hesitate at all, and they took steps one by one and planned to walk towards the stone gate, wanting to open the stone gate to see what was hidden behind the stone gate.
But just as everyone stepped forward, Lucius suddenly stopped everyone: "Wait. Don't go in yet, I think something is wrong, don't go near the stone door. ”
Everyone turned their heads to look at Lucius with some doubts, but Lucius ignored everyone's puzzled gazes, and directly opened his palm again, releasing the mechanical bugs in the mechanical source core, and combining those mechanical bugs in the sky.
Soon, the mechanical bugs turned into small robots, flapping the metal wings behind them, and slowly approached the stone door.
But at the moment when he was about to approach the stone gate. Suddenly, from the side of the stone gate, a stream of fire fell, and before the robot could react, it was directly hit by the flow of fire, and the robot turned into ashes.
Seeing that the robot was destroyed by the sudden flow of fire, everyone present was shocked, thinking that if it wasn't for Lucius to stop them, just now they stepped forward to approach the stone gate, and the flow of fire suddenly descended. Then the one who may be burned to ashes now may be himself.
Smelling the burnt smell of the burned robot, and seeing the robot that had turned to ashes, everyone present looked at Lucius in silence.
The latter's expression also became solemn, and he said to everyone, "It seems." It is not easy to enter this stone door. ”
Christine looked at Lucius and asked, "So what do we do now?" It seems that this stone gate seems to be the way to go, but the fire does not know where to descend. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get through the stone gate of Guò. ”
Unhurriedly, Lucius spread his palms again, and there were mechanical bugs flying out of his palms, and those small worms flew towards the stone door. Soon everyone saw that the mechanical insects were all attached to the stone door, and slowly began to move on the surface of the stone door.
It is also strange to say that the robot composed of small insects before could not get close to the stone gate, but now these mechanical little insects can actually approach the stone gate and attach to the surface of the stone gate.
Christine turned her head to look at Lucius's palm and asked with some confusion, "What is the magic of these mechanical bugs you have released, and why don't they trigger the Flowing Fire?"
Lucius pinched a small insect and handed it to everyone and said, "Because these little guys are so small, I'm afraid that many people will not be able to find their traces when they don't look carefully, and they are very light, so they won't touch any mechanism." ”
Carefully looking at the mechanical bug, even Christine stretched out her hand to take it and looked at it carefully, and asked with some surprise: "This, this kind of thing, how did you make it?"
Everyone else also turned their heads to look at Lucius in confusion, wondering how Lucius made such a small thing.
Lucius smiled when he heard this, and said: "To make these things, of course, you need extraordinary tools, first you need a high-magnification magnifying glass, then you need very small mechanical tools, and the most important thing is that you need to be very flexible with your fingers, otherwise it will be difficult to make." ”
Lucius didn't explain too much, after his palm closed again, it opened again, and the mechanical source core in his palm suddenly showed light and shadow again.
Staring at the magical light and shadow in Lecius's palm, although Christine and the others could clearly feel the magical energy, they never found the source of the fluctuation of the magical energy.
It seemed that the source was in the palm of Lucius's palm, but the mechanical source core looked extremely cold, and it seemed that there was no life at all, so it was difficult for them to be sure that the magical energy that formed the magical light and shadow was released from the inside of the metal ball.
Soon, the scene of light and shadow attracted everyone, because it was clear that the image formed by the light and shadow was the stone door that blocked them.
Every detail on the stone door is presented by light and shadow, and almost all the flaws left by the original carving are presented in front of everyone's eyes.
Lucius carefully looked at the stone door where the light and shadow appeared, and soon found that there were several places in it that were very special, and he stretched out his hand to magnify the special places.
Everyone saw that there were several carvings that looked like eyes on the stone door, and it looked like those eyes were alive, and they looked unusually bright, as if they were always staring at Lucius and them, paying attention to their movements.
"It seems that the eyes carved in these stone doors are the ones who are preventing us from approaching," said Lucius. ”
To test his claim, Lecius zooms in on one of the eyes, and once again releases a robot approaching the stone gate.
Everyone watched, and the image showed that the eyes carved on the stone door actually moved, turning to look at the approaching robot, and the next moment the fire descended again without warning.
However, at the same time as the flowing fire fell, the mechanical insects released by Lucius also found the source of the release of the flowing fire, and several small insects had already entered the channel of the flowing fire release.
Closing his palm, Lucius said confidently: "Okay, now we can open the stone door and enter to see what is behind the stone gate." ”
Hearing Lucius say that the stone gate could be opened, everyone still couldn't believe it, and didn't understand that just a moment of effort, there was a flowing fire just now that burned the robot close to the stone gate.
Why did Lucius say at this moment that now they were able to approach the stone gate and open it?
Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little uneasy, Lucius smiled, took a step and walked straight towards the stone gate, walked to the stone gate safe and sound in front of everyone, stretched out his hands and pushed the stone door in front of him.
"Boom" accompanied by a loud sound, the stone gate was pushed by Lucius and slowly opened inward, without the light source in Lucius's hands, and the stone gate suddenly lit up a number of oil lamps, directly illuminating the huge hall inside the stone gate as if it were day.
At the same time, a familiar voice from Lu Xius sounded inside the stone gate: "My inheritor, you have finally come to the east, and you have finally come to this Jiangxin Hall in the heart of the Tianjiang River. ”
Everyone, including Lucius, was terrified when they heard that voice and what the body said to Lucius, knowing that the only person who could call Lecius the inheritor was the founder of the Sanctuary in this world.
The horror in the hearts of the people was here, according to the voice inside the door, didn't it mean that the person who spoke to Lucius and them was the founder of the Sanctuary?
"Da Da, Da Da" Soon, with the sound of heavy footsteps, everyone saw that in the hall behind the brightly lit stone gate, a person with a metallic luster appeared, standing in the stone gate like that, quietly staring at all of them. (To be continued......)
