Surrounded by the townspeople, Lucius and the others followed Beluti and walked towards the town's square, where most of the wooden houses along the way were partially metal-mechanical.

There are even some steam cars and steam motorcycles parked in the courtyards of some of the more spacious houses, and it seems that the whole town is full of various mechanical devices, exactly like a town made of steam machinery.

Not to mention that Lucius felt incredible, even the mechanical god on his shoulder, Augustine, was surprised, and kept jumping on Lucius's shoulder and shouting: "God, here, this is simply a mechanical paradise, just like the original holy realm, machinery has been completely integrated into everyone's life." ”

Lucius couldn't help but sigh: "It's really unexpected, the people here don't know magic, and they don't know how to fight, but they can have such high-end machinery." ”

"Quack, that's of course, if the machine reaches the extreme, it doesn't need magic and fighting energy, just by relying on its own martial arts and machinery, you can defeat magic and fighting energy. ”

Speaking of this, Augustine jumped on Lucius's head, lay on Lucius's head and glanced around the town, as if looking for something, but he didn't find what he was looking for for a long time, but he didn't find what he was looking for for a long time, and couldn't help but lie on Lucius's head and mutter: "How could it not be?"

Lucius pulled Ogufoddin directly off his head, looked at the puzzled Augustine and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"It's strange, haven't you noticed it? There are all kinds of steam machinery here, but something very important is missing, and I have been looking for a long time without finding any sign of it. ”

Hearing Augustine say this, Lucius frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Do you mean, the lack of a mechanical core?"

Augustine climbed from the palm of Lucius's hand and along his arm back to Lucius's shoulder, glanced around and whispered a little wary, "Yes." The machinery here, including the two mechanical beasts in front of the door, lacks a mechanical core, and without a core, these machines may be controlled by the guy with the core at any time. ”

Hearing this, Lucius lowered his head and muttered in a low voice as he walked: "So, behind this town, there should be someone or a force controlling it?"

In response to Lucius's muttering, Augustine nodded and said, "I'm afraid so, and I suspect that the guy with the mechanical core in his hand." I'm afraid we already know our existence. ”

"Roar, roar, roar" At this moment, there was a burst of cheers in the square ahead, pulling Lucius's thoughts back, and Lucius looked up and followed the cheers, and saw that in the middle of the square, there was a stone statue towering there, and the stone statue looked almost exactly like Belloti.

See that stone statue. Augustine couldn't help but exclaim, "Really, it's really her, it seems, Hope really made her a mechanical god." ”

Lucius knew who Augustine was talking about. It was the prototype of Belletti's imitation, and it is said to be the first mechanical demon created by the founder of the Sanctuary Realm, and it can be regarded as the mechanical demon that has accompanied the founder for the longest time.

Even if it is the later Founder who makes a covenant with the rules and obtains a resting place with his own heart. became an immortal monster, watching his beloved pass away one by one, in that age of darkness and suffering. The mechanical demon still accompanies the Creator.

Now it seems that the mechanical demon, under the transformation of the founder, has really become a mechanical god, and has become a god on the plains west of this misty forest.

A carnival took place throughout the town, and it was not until late at night that the people dispersed, and many people prayed to Belloti and would bow respectfully to her as they left.

As for Belletti, she was in a state of wonder all the time, watching the townspeople walk in front of her eyes one by one, looking at the stone statue that towered in the middle of the town, Beludi was completely at a loss, she didn't know what she should do, how to face the townspeople who respected her.

As the crowd dispersed, Belletti was the only one left in the square standing alone in front of the stone statue, looking up at the stone statue that was almost identical to herself.

Lucius quietly walked up to Beluti and asked in a low voice, "Why? Do you feel like you're dreaming?"

Beludi was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Lucius beside her, then looked back at the stone statue and said, "No, I'm just wondering, where did she go? Is she still with the founder? Can the founder, who has lost her resting place, continue to grow old and immortal? If the founder dies, won't she be very lonely?"

Lucius didn't expect that Beluti was thinking about this, and for a moment she was stunned and didn't know what to say, and she stared at the stone statue for a long time before she spoke again: "Perhaps, for her, she is already very satisfied to be by the side of the founder." ”

Hearing this, Belletti suddenly turned around and smiled at Lucius, stretched out her hand and punched Lucius and said, "Hehe, don't worry, I will also be by your side." ”

Lecius said with a calm smile on his face: "I am not the founder, and you will not be her, we should have our life, our path to go, so we don't have to stick to other people's path." ”

"Hahaha......" Beludi laughed, then bowed solemnly to the statue and whispered, "May you live your own life too." ”

When Belletti also followed Lucius away, the town square was quiet again, and in the flower beds and fountains in the square, small things stretched out, carefully looked around, and then slowly rose into the air, silently flying outside the town.

The little things flew silently to the edge of the town, and just as they were about to leave the town, they suddenly accelerated, as if they were about to rush out of the town.

However, suddenly, the eyes of the stone statue in the center of the square emitted a blue light, which instantly enveloped the entire town, and those little things that were about to fly out of the town, seeing the blue light coming overwhelmingly, immediately accelerated and wanted to rush out of the town in a hurry, wanting to avoid the overwhelming blue light.

However, the speed of the light was obviously faster, and the blue light quickly enveloped them all, and the mechanical gadgets all fell to the ground in the blue light, losing power and becoming dead.

Lucius, who had already entered the middle-aged man's house in charge of the town, quickly heard the return of No. 3 and No. 4, and couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man with some surprise.

The latter seemed to know a qiē, and said very calmly: "It seems that the two robots beside you have already known the secrets of the town, yes, that stone statue is our god, but it is no longer the god of this plain, the plain still believes in her, and the town that keeps the stone statue is probably only us." ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took a few puffs of his own cigarette, and the smell of inferior nicotine quickly spread throughout the room, and it can be seen from the other party's appearance that the man's heart is full of indescribable loneliness.

Then the middle-aged man introduced himself: "You can call me Renaud, I am the mayor of this town, and I am also the only person left on the plain who still remembers the secret of that stone statue." ”

Lucius listened quietly, did not interrupt Renault's words, did not ask any questions, just quietly listened to Renault's narration: "It was a long time ago, so long that many people don't remember it, but there are some things, there will always be people who remember, hehe, but remembering people tend to be more painful." ”

"That stone statue, representing the most glorious era on the plain, was left a long, long time ago, and there were twelve of them on the entire plain, distributed in various parts of the plain, like guards, guarding this plain, guarding every living thing on the plain. ”

"It's a pity that that era will eventually become a thing of the past, and at the moment when the authorities are decaying, the whole plain has changed, and we seem to be free, but we are being watched all the time. ”

Renaud walked slowly to the window, looked at the quiet streets outside the town, and said to Lucius, "Now, you have seen those little things, and they will take back what they see and bring it to the people in that castle in the center of the plains." ”

Hearing this, Lucius finally asked for the first time, "What is that castle, where the ruler of this plain lives?"

Renault, who was standing in front of the window, took a few more puffs of cigarette, exhaled the smoke and said with a wry smile: "Yes, now they are the rulers of this land, they can monitor the entire plain, they will see everything that happens on the plain, and dominate the one qiē on the plain." ”

Seeing Renault's appearance, Du Liniang asked with some confusion: "Who are they you talking about? It seems that you are very afraid of those rulers, and it seems that those rulers control your qiē?"

"They, hehe, haven't you already seen them? The two mechanical beasts in front of the town, their minions, have been destroyed by you, and I'm afraid those guys will soon find out. ”

Hearing this, Lucius and the others looked at each other, and vaguely felt that it seemed that the creatures on the plains at the end of the misty forest were also suffering the same thing as those in the forest, and they seemed to be oppressed by a certain ruler, but before they entered the town, they didn't seem to feel as if they were being oppressed.

And according to Renault, the people who rule them seem to be able to use mechanical beasts, so it means that the other party has mastered very high mechanical technology, thinking that the machinery in the town lacks mechanical cores, Lucius asked: "You mean, those guys who rule the plains, control those mechanical beasts?"

Renaud threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, turned to look at Lucius, and suddenly pointed to Belletti and No. 3 and No. 4 and said, "The rulers of this plain are actually them." (To be continued......)
