Chapter 215: Mechanical Door
A mechanical door? Was it a mechanical door? That was the only thought on Lecius' mind at the moment, and his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the gear-riddled door.
"Why? Why is there a flash of mechanical doors in the secret passages of the city in the forest? Could it be that there is also a so-called mechanical civilization in the forest? What is the forest civilization?" Standing in front of the door, Lucius couldn't help but muttering to himself, as if he was complaining, and as if he had been tricked.
Number Three stepped forward, carefully examined the entire door up and down, left, right, and right, then turned to Lucius and said, "Your Highness, it is indeed a mechanical door, and this door is from the Sanctuary, our Shamrock's workshop. β
"What? from Clover's workshop? You mean, this mechanical door was made in our Clover family's workshop in the Sanctuary?"
Seeing that Lucius still seemed to be interested in or, No. 3 beckoned No. 4 to come forward to prove it, and No. 4 also carefully examined the mechanical door, and finally said with certainty: "Yes, Your Highness, this door is indeed produced by the workshop, and you can see that this gear is also engraved with the emblem of the Clover family." β
Following Four's point, Lucius saw three rusty leaves on a small gear, which were the symbols of the four card royal families of the Sanctuary, the Clover Family.
Lecius's face was full of shock, he looked at the mechanical door again and again, and finally couldn't help but say to himself, "Could it be that the founder came here in the first place, or is it that the city in the forest deep in the forest was originally built by the Sanctuary?"
He looked at Number Three and Number Four again, trying to get answers to his doubts from the two robots.
But. No. 3 and No. 4 obviously didn't know, and the two robots shook their heads together and said: "In the past, we didn't use the ordinary robots in the workshop, even if we experienced something, we don't have any memories of that time, as for whether this city was made in the Sanctuary, we don't know, but this door is indeed from the Shamrock family's workshop." β
The answers of No. 3 and No. 4 disappointed Lucius somewhat. I thought I could get it from two robots. I learned a few stories about the mechanical door in front of me, but it seems impossible now.
After a moment of silence, Lucius said to No. 3 and No. 4 again, "Then, there is nothing you two can do. Open this door?"
The two robots looked at each other. Then Qi Qi shook his head at Lucius and said, "I'm sorry. Your Highness, we have no way to open it, this kind of door. After leaving the workshop, special processing is carried out so that the mechanical gears of the whole door are interlocked, and the secrets of these gears must be unlocked in order to open the door. β
"Well, is that so? But is it so complicated that a door is so complicated that it must be just as complicated to open, and wouldn't it be troublesome for those who use it?"
Number Three stood up and said bluntly, "No, because this door was not intended to be opened after it was closed, and usually the internal gears are constantly changing places, making the door seem to be different every time it opens." β
"What? It opens differently every time? Damn, doesn't that mean this door wasn't meant to be opened in the first place?"
Hearing that Lucius couldn't help but complain, Number Four immediately stepped forward to respond: "Yes, Your Highness, the workshop made these mechanical doors to isolate the enemy, and the users almost never intend to open the closed doors again. β
Four's words made Lucius a little helpless, so he could only shrug his shoulders and say, "Okay, since that's the case, then I can only try to open it myself." β
No. 3 and No. 4 looked at each other again, and No. 4 stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I must remind you that there are anti-theft devices inside the machines, so if you can't open them properly, we are likely to be attacked by the devices inside the door." β
Lucius originally wanted to be powerful and curse the guy who designed and used this door, but after thinking about it, he suppressed the anger in his heart, stepped forward, and said lightly: "It's okay, I like to challenge the mechanical devices of my predecessors, especially the puzzles of various mechanical devices, I like it very much, it just happens that my hands have been itchy recently, try my hand with it." β
With that, Lucius approached the mechanical door and began to look carefully for a breakthrough to open the mechanical door, taking a closer look between the many gears and handles on the door.
In the main hall of the Scarlet Castle, Li He was in a very bad mood at the moment, he didn't expect that the people and horses he excluded were almost wiped out, and they were all arrested by Lucius, and what made him even more annoyed was that the second talisman had obviously been activated, but he didn't have time to feel and manipulate it at all, and the divine power in the talisman disappeared without a trace. β
At this moment, Li He had to admit that Lucius was really suppressing himself everywhere, almost outside the Scarlet Castle, it was impossible for him to defeat Lucius, and he felt that the other party could always be one step ahead of him.
Thinking of this, Li He saw the leisurely look on Caroline's face, and knew that Caroline already knew that she could not suppress and defeat Lucius, so she became more and more unscrupulous.
Li He said with some annoyance: "Little girl, don't be complacent too early, even if I can't help Lucius, it's not easy for them to break through that secret passage." β
"Isn't it easy? I wonder how it is not easy, is it that the dead will not give way to Lucius?" Caroline said disapprerovingly, "I think that Lucius must be able to convince the dead, as long as the dead are willing to cooperate with him, it should be easy to pass through the secret passage." β
Li He said with disdain: "Little girl, you are really naΓ―ve, if you want to pass through the secret passage, even those who are dead, you can't do it, because with that door, no one can open the passage of the secret passage." β
Seeing that Li He didn't seem to be joking, Caroline asked with a solemn expression, "That door? What kind of door can stop Lucius from them?"
Li He suddenly smiled smugly and said, "Haha, that's a mechanical door, a mechanical door that almost no one can open." β
In the secret passage, after several attempts, Lucius squatted in front of the mechanical door, stared at the door in front of him, and said a little depressedly: "Damn the mechanical door, how can I open you?"
In a short period of time, Lucius used almost all his strength, shaking the handle on the door again and again, but when he pressed the knob. The gears on the door turned, but the door never opened.
Although Lucius was able to make the entire door move by turning the handle, and even showed signs of opening on a few occasions, the door closed tightly again when Lucius continued to turn the handle.
Even No. 3 and No. 4, who were standing next to him, could see the gloom on Lucius's face and the anxiety of not being able to open the door.
However, I was a little anxious because I didn't open the door. But Lucius was already convinced. The mechanical door in front of me needs special means to open, and the gears on the door that look like decorations are actually interlocking. together to make up this mechanical door.
I want to open the door. It is necessary to solve the gear on the door. Unlock the secrets contained in the gears, and only by making good use of the gears on the door can it be possible to open the door.
"It looks like nonsense. Really?" asked Lucius as he stood up a little dejectedly, looking at Three and Four.
No. 3 and No. 4 shook their heads, and No. 4 stood up and said, "No, this is the truth, almost all the mechanical doors processed in the workshop were different, so the gear arrangement of each mountain gate was also different. β
Hearing this, Lucius ignited his fighting spirit, turned around again and looked up and down the door carefully, and in the blink of an eye, he was completely immersed in it, no longer paying attention to anything else, and devoting himself to the process of cracking the mechanical door.
In the main hall of the Scarlet Castle, Li He looked at Caroline's face full of surprise, and said with a smile: "Hehe, little girl, you probably don't know, that door is probably from the city in the forest, and it is said that it is still the product of those mechanical cities." β
Speaking of this, Li He opened his arms and looked around the entire hall, and said to Caroline: "Little girl, what I actually need to tell you is that there are many mechanical devices in this ancient castle, and opening that door means that the entire ancient castle mechanical devices will be activated. β
Caroline looked at the smiling Li He in horror, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you mean that as long as you open that door, then the trap of the ancient castle will be opened?"
"Traps? No, they weren't traps, I don't know what they meant, but I knew very well that they weren't traps, they should be some kind of test in the city of the woods, but unfortunately, Lucius didn't have a chance to try those tests, the moment he stepped into the castle, do you think I'd let him go on my home turf?"
After listening to Li He's words, Caroline finally understood what Li He meant, Li He wanted to use those unlocked mechanical devices to block Lucius, and at the same time, he would use his home advantage in the Scarlet Castle to deal with Lucius, and even kill Lucius in one fell swoop.
Caroline asked, with some annoyance, "Wouldn't you be ashamed if you did that, old fellow?" β
"What? Do you want to say that I can't win or not?" Li He sneered and said: "There is no so-called victory without martial arts in this world, in the final analysis, those are just excuses for people who sell their fame and reputation, I don't need those excuses, not to mention that Lucius has a resting place, gets the help of the law, and suppresses me himself, so how can I win without martial arts?"
Li He's words made Caroline speechless, not knowing how to refute, and not knowing how to respond, although she felt that Li He did not abide by the so-called actual guidelines, but the other party was obviously not a knight, so Caroline could only choose to keep silent, and at the same time wanted to communicate with Lucius through the guΓ² giant axe to remind Lucius.
However, Lucius had already cut off contact, in order to save the energy in Caroline's giant axe, therefore, if Lucius did not take the initiative to contact, Caroline would obviously not be able to contact Lucius.
As time passed, Caroline became more and more uneasy, but she had no choice but to hide in the energy field of the giant axe and wait.
In that secret passage, Lucius had gradually found some fame, and began to slowly crack the mechanical door, and after several attempts, Lucius was able to open a crack in the door.
This excites Lucius, and he's found a way to turn the gears, and he feels confident that it's only a matter of time before he opens the door.
"Click" Lucius kept shaking the handlebar, driving the large and small gears on the door to rotate, sometimes turning the handle to the right, sometimes turning to the left, and from time to time turning several handlebars at the same time, and each handle rotated in a different direction and number of turns, but Lucius moved around with both hands, and the movements were very good at controlling the handles.
After a crunch, a smile appeared on Lucius's face, and he grimaced at Three and Four, reaching out to grasp the largest handle on the door, and turning the handle with both hands.
At first, the handlebar rotated very slowly, but as Lucius continued to exert force, the handlebar turned faster and faster, and in the end, Lucius did not need to exert force at all, and the handle would turn on its own.
With the rotation of the handle, the large and small gears on the mechanical door gradually all rotated together, accompanied by the continuous sound of "click-click-click......", when all the gears were driven, No. 3 and No. 4 looked at in surprise, and the closed mechanical door was finally slowly opened.
