Chapter 41: The Decaying Inner City

Du Liniang and Caroline stared at Lucius's firm back, and the two of them could clearly feel that behind Lecius's sunny smile, there was a unique fortitude hidden deep in their hearts.

Tong Guò contacted Lucius during this time, Du Liniang and Caroline found that Lucius is a person who can always face adversity positively and optimistically no matter what kind of adversity he encounters, and the smile on his face is always full of emotion, which can unconsciously infect the people around him, clear the haze in everyone's hearts, and actively face the predicament.

When Du Liniang and Caroline were in a trance, Lucius had already crossed the crack in the earth in front of him and stood in front of the twisted steel giant door.

Before stepping into the door, he turned to the two female gods of war and smiled and said, "Hey, auntie, big sister, what are you thinking? Hurry up, otherwise the good things are really gone." ”

Hearing Lucius's shout, the two goddesses of war came to their senses, took a step and jumped across the chasm, and in a blink of an eye, they stood beside Lucius, and the three of them walked side by side into the steel gate.

The inner city of the sanctuary behind the giant gate has no glamorous streets, no magnificent buildings, no green trees, and no spotless pavement.

With the dull sound of piston slamming and the sound of various machinery running, the whole inner city was filled with a pungent smell of black smoke, and the streets were full of filth.

The inner part of the Sanctuary in front of me is like a mechanical workshop that has been abandoned for a long time, and all kinds of waste piled up everywhere are constantly eroding a qiē in the inner city.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Caroline couldn't help but exclaim, "This, could this be the inner city of the Sanctuary?

The smile on Lucius' face retracted, and he frowned and glanced around, black smoke spewed from the towering chimneys in the distance, and the huge pistons were still pounding, pushing the rusty and blackened gears to turn.

The dark river flowed from the depths of the street, eventually into a small, filthy pond not far from the steel gate, where it pooled with stagnant water.

After being stunned for a long time, Lucius whispered: "It seems that the inner city of the Sanctuary has decayed, and the destruction of the Sanctuary is inevitable. ”

"Da Da Da" A rush of footsteps woke up the three of them, and they looked in the direction of the footsteps, but saw a group of people rushing towards the workshop not far away, and soon the figure disappeared into the workshop.

Seeing the group of people disappear, Lucius didn't delay any longer, and walked towards the inner city with a step, while saying to the two people around him: "Okay, let's go, we can't change the corruption and destruction of the holy area, let's go inside and take a look." ”

Du Liniang and Caroline glanced at each other when they heard this, and after stepping into the steel giant gate, they didn't see anyone else, and the two had already guessed that those people were afraid that they had already gone to find treasures and inheritances, and if they continued to delay at the door, they were afraid that they would not be able to gain any benefits.

Under the leadership of Lucius, the three of them stepped on the blackened stone path, followed the flowing black water upstream, and quickly walked towards the depths of the inner city shrouded in black smoke.

As we go deeper, the houses along the way are all black, and it is not difficult to see that it is because the surface of the houses is covered with a thick layer of black oil, and the pungent smell in the air is getting heavier and heavier.

Smelling the pungent smell around her and feeling the stickiness of the ground beneath her feet, Caroline gradually frowned, women are naturally annoyed by filth, even a female warrior like Caroline can feel uncomfortable.

However, when she saw that Du Liniang's face remained unchanged next to her, and she didn't seem to feel the slightest, Caroline could only suppress her disgust and disgust in her heart and continue to follow closely behind Lucius.

Suddenly, several black shadows popped out of the alley next to him, and Lecius reached out to stop Du Liniang and Caroline, pushing the two of them to retreat sharply to avoid those black shadows, and at the same time raised the magic machine gun in his hand.

The black shadow showed its original form, Caroline saw that her face was pale, and she almost couldn't stop screaming in horror, Du Liniang also frowned in disgust, only Lucius waited solemnly with a magic machine gun.

A few black shadows are oil monsters that are constantly dripping black oil stains on their bodies, and it seems that they are probably some kind of demon spirits with no real souls that have accumulated too much oil in the holy area, catalyzed by the power of the sealed demon god.

Seeing those oil monsters raise their heads and spew black oil from their huge mouths, Caroline's stomach kept churning, and she forced down the disgusting heart and whispered, "This, what the hell is this?"

Without waiting for Lucius to speak, Du Liniang next to him frowned and said, "They are the oil stains accumulated in the city, and they are infected by the corrupt aura of the suppressed demon god, and they are a kind of demon spirit creatures that are born. ”

Hearing Du Liniang's answer, Caroline looked at those oil monsters vigilantly, and still asked with an ugly face: "Then, what are they going to do?"

"Bang bang bang" As soon as Caroline's words fell, Lucius suddenly pulled the trigger of the magic machine gun in his hand, and several ice arrows shot out from the muzzle, and in the blink of an eye, those oil monsters were all frozen in ice.

At the moment when Lucius froze the oil monster, a fire broke out in a workshop not far away, and the flames instantly engulfed the entire workshop, and at the same time quickly spread around.

Seeing this, Lucius didn't stop any longer, and called on No. 3 and No. 4 to rush towards the Burning Workshop, and at the same time loaded the mechanical source core into the magic machine gun in his hand.

The sudden change made Du Liniang and Caroline a little stunned, and by the time the two of them came to their senses, Lucius had already rushed to the burning workshop not far away, and in the face of the raging flames, he almost did not hesitate, leading the two metal mechanical demons into the sea of fire.

"Don't ......" Seeing Lucius rushing into the sea of fire, Caroline suddenly came to her senses and ran wildly in the direction of the sea of fire, trying to stop Lucius.

Du Liniang also frowned, and quickly followed Caroline and rushed forward, but when the two rushed to the burning workshop, they saw Lucius standing in front of the workshop that had been frozen with cold magic energy machine guns.

There was also a group of grizzled people kneeling in front of the workshop, and it seemed that the fire had been made by this group of people.

While freezing the fire, Lucius said to the group of grizzled guys, "Be careful, you can't use fire against those oil monsters, try to use ice magic to seal them." ”

Hearing Lucius's request, the group of people whispered their promises, and Caroline quickly recognized that the group of people was actually the Night Elves of the Sanctuary Clan.

Especially when she saw Modes, who was covered in oil, Caroline couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

The leader of the Night Elves, the old elves, stood up, bowed to Lecius and said, "Your Highness, thank you for saving us, otherwise our mistake will inevitably lead to a great disaster. ”

Hearing this, Lucius stared at the old Night Elf, grinned and said, "Hehe, it seems that you know my identity, the Night Elf clan, and they belonged to the Clover Royal Clan back then, right?"

Hearing this, the old elf's pupils shrank suddenly, and his body shook unconsciously, but he quickly calmed down again, looked at Lucius with a puzzled face, and said: "Your Royal Highness, I don't understand what you mean, as the remnants of the Holy Land, our inheritance has been lost for many years, so we don't know what happened at the beginning. ”

Hearing the old elf's far-fetched explanation, even the nervous Caroline could hear that something was wrong, let alone the extremely observant Lucius?

Pouting, Lucius muttered, "I don't know what happened at the beginning, so what are you shaking?" Hmph, it's obviously pretending to be confused, I shouldn't have saved you if I knew it." ”

After muttering, without giving the old leader of the Night Elves a chance to explain, Lucius pulled Caroline and Du Liniang and turned to leave, without even looking at Modes.

Seeing Lucius and the others leaving, Modès stood up and wanted to say something, but in the end she was stopped by her grandfather: "Child, we have no way out, if we anger the gods, the race will also perish." ”

"But, but grandpa, they were suppressed in the Holy Realm, is it really worth our faith?"

The old night elf reached out and stroked his granddaughter's beautiful face, and sighed: "Hey, there are some things that we can't change, for the sake of the race, we must believe it, not doubt it, it's very dangerous." ”

Lucius was angry and pulled Du Liniang and Caroline forward, the magic machine gun was held in the hand of Number Three, and the three of them and two metal mechanical demons quickly rushed through several streets and walked deeper into the Sanctuary.

After walking for a long time, she found that Lucius's pace began to slow down, Du Liniang slowly withdrew her hand and whispered: "Lucius, in fact, you don't have to be angry, after all, the Night Elves have always been vigilant, and they can't choose to believe you lightly, not to mention what you said just now is tantamount to making them bear their faith." ”

Du Liniang's words made Lucius stop, he lowered his head and felt a little depressed, and muttered for a long time: "Auntie, I feel confused, I don't know, can I bring hope to others?"

After a pause, Lucius pointed to the depths of the inner city and said, "I know that there are many people who have expectations of me, and even hope for me, and I know what I should do, and I know what I need, but I am still confused, I am afraid, I am afraid that I will fail in the end." ”

Hearing Lucius's words, Du Liniang and Caroline were deeply shocked, and at this moment the two finally saw that the confusion in Lucius's heart, the confusion weighed him down very painfully, making him difficult.

Neither Du Liniang nor Caroline thought that Lucius, who was always optimistic in the face of difficulties, had deep doubts about himself in his heart, that kind of doubt about his own strength and responsibility.

After a long time, Du Liniang stepped forward and walked up to Lucius, bent down and reached out to hold Lucius's face, and gently wiped away the painful tears on Lucius's face.

Like a loving mother, she said to Lecius: "Son, you don't have to put pressure on yourself, no one's hopes should be pinned on others, you don't have to put all these on yourself, do what you want in your heart, even if the result is bad, but you have tried." ”

In fact, when stepping on the historical ladder, Lecius began to fall into confusion in his heart, and when he saw No. 1 and No. 2, he was determined to pursue himself on the surface, but he also had doubts in his heart.

Until he said goodbye to Moddes and the Night Elves, he knew very well that the Night Elves were enslaved by the Demon God of the Sanctuary Suppression, and he wanted to break the Demon God's enslavement of the Night Elves, and reached out to pull the Night Elves away from the abyss of depravity.

But when he heard Grandpa Modès's words and saw the suspicion in the eyes of those Night Elves, he finally felt that he seemed to be in no position to help others.

In front of No. 1 and No. 2, he said that he was not the one who saved the world, in fact, it was also a manifestation of his lack of confidence in himself, and this kind of unconfident confusion always bothered him.

But at this moment, hearing Du Liniang's words, Lecius's heart knot was untied, and he finally understood that in fact, just like he said to No. 1 and No. 2, he was indeed not a savior.

There is no need to save anyone, salvation is actually in everyone's own hands, and he doesn't need to shoulder those pressures, he just needs to work hard to improve his strength, only if he has enough strength, can he help others.
