Chapter 10021: A small victory
Following Lucius, stepping on the vine-paved road, one foot deep and one foot shallow, Shabaja did not hesitate, for he was convinced that Lucius would never hurt himself.
In fact, although Shabaja awakened the royal blood of the King of Hearts, he did not obtain the inheritance of the King of Hearts, and naturally he was not very aware of the contradictions between the four card royal families in the Sanctuary, so he was not hostile to Lucius in his heart, but felt that Lucius could trust and cooperate.
The King of Hearts has wisdom, but different people will have different personalities, and people's hearts are the most difficult to control, even if they have the same bloodline and different personalities, it will make Shabaja and Reimer have a very different way of dealing with people and things.
In Reimer's eyes, the descendants of the royal blood of the other card royal families are his rivals, or he accepts and inherits the strife and conflict between the royal families.
And the most important point, Reimer is a very proud person, he thinks he is a very smart and powerful person, but the inheritance of the Sanctuary was actually obtained by Lucius, he is naturally not convinced in his heart.
Therefore, Reimer has always wanted to defeat Lecius, to prove himself to everyone, to prove that even if he can't get the inheritance of the Sanctuary Founder, he can defeat Lucius, who has obtained the inheritance, and prove that he is the most powerful King of Hearts in all generations.
Driven by these thoughts, Reimer naturally regarded Lecius as a thorn in his side, and he had cooperated with him in the Tang Empire before, but it was just to protect his own interests.
After gaining more benefits, Reimer will decisively abandon Lucius, and push Lucius out to block the gun for himself, so that the two saints of the Tang Empire will point the finger at Lucius.
Shabaja didn't have so many complicated experiences, and for him, his own miserable experience had already made him stumble, and he even wanted to wander in the Western Regions for a while, and it was meaningless for him to live in old age and die in wandering.
But the appearance of Lucius changed Shabaja's mind. And let Sabaja get spiritual salvation, thus breaking the knot in his heart.
It can be said that Shabaja's heart is full of gratitude to Lucius, and he has even ignored the pride of the King of Hearts, and is determined to follow and help Lucius, in order to repay Lucius's kindness to him.
Of course, Sabaja chose to follow Lucius, partly because he wanted to use the power of Lucius. Escape the fate of being killed by another descendant of the king's blood.
Following behind Lucius, Shabaja had no worries, albeit a slow one-foot-deep and one-foot shallow.
In Shabaja's view, following Lucius was a safe thing to do.
I don't know how long I walked, Shabaja suddenly looked up and saw that Lucius had stopped in front of him.
The next moment, Sabaja realized that they had reached the end of the vine path, and in front of them was the temple made of ancient trees.
It seems that the temple is very quiet. There is not even a trace of sound, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility, and at the same time, the ancient trees exude the fragrance of green plants, and the Sabaja who wanders in the countries of the Western Regions all the year round. I never thought that there would be such a quiet and fresh place in the Western Regions.
Lucius stood quietly at the end of the vine, not in a hurry to step out of the vine, as if waiting for something.
Shabaja didn't dare to disturb, so he could only stand quietly behind Lucius. Go and wait with Lucius.
After a while, there was a "boom" sound ahead, and Shabaja saw the stone steps at the end of the vines. Suddenly, there was a change, and the stone steps were all flipped from bottom to top, and the original cyan stone steps were all flipped and turned into earth-colored stone steps.
Lucius reminded Shabaja in a low voice: "Be careful, follow me, the temple is a place for gods, it is dangerous. ”
With that, Lucius took a step up the stone steps, and walked down the stone steps to the temple above.
Naturally, Shabaja did not linger, and soon followed in the footsteps of Lucius, also walking up the stone steps.
The two of them quickly walked to the end of the stone steps and stood in front of the door of the temple, at this time Sabaja finally saw the temple clearly, the temple looked very grand from below, and when he stood in front of the temple door, he realized that the temple was actually just a very simple wooden house.
Standing in front of the door of the hut, Lucius bowed to the hut and said, "Lucius greets the lady of the gods." ”
The door of the cabin did not open, but a voice soon responded from inside the door: "Your Highness Lucius is welcome, I hope you can understand my difficulties, after all, I am only a god, and I cannot afford to offend you and the King of Hearts." ”
Hearing this, Lucius grinned: "Susina, I know that it is not easy for each of you gods, but you should know very well that you have obtained the faith of the people, which neither me nor Reimer can tolerate. ”
There was silence in the cabin, as if Lucius's words had caused Susina, the god in the cabin, to fall into deep thought.
And Lucius continued: "You must know very well that the Sanctuary was originally established to free the people from the enslavement of the gods. ”
"Yes, the Sanctuary has fallen, and it is precisely because of the fall of the Sanctuary that the four major card royal families have been suppressed, and there is no time to estimate the others, so you have this opportunity to preach in the countries of the Western Regions and establish your own faith. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and his words suddenly became sharp: "But, in fact, you should know very well that since we are back, we will not tolerate you to continue, so you must make a choice." ”
Shabaja, who listened to Lucius's words, was shocked, and at the same time, he thought carefully in his heart and felt that he agreed with Lucius's words.
Born in the Western Regions, Shabaja is well aware of the horror of these gods in the Western Regions, and he has seen with his own eyes the gods enslave the minds of the people, turn those people into walking corpses, and make a large number of people hundreds of them every day.
The people of the Western Regions used all the good things in their hands to worship the gods, and even when they were hungry, they had to worship the gods every day.
In some city-states in the Western Regions, there will also be those who use their own bodies as sacrifices, their wives and relatives, and even newborn children as sacrifices, just to be able to get the blessings of the gods and the gifts given by the gods.
It is an almost pathological belief in which the countries of the Western Regions are almost completely enslaved by the gods, and if there is any fight between the gods, the people will become cannon fodder.
In the course of his wanderings, Shabaja encountered more than one battle between the two city-states, and the sight of corpses strewn everywhere made him unforgettable.
It was because I saw those scenes of corpses strewn all over the field. Seeing the sight of those believers worshipping the gods regardless of a single qiē, Sabaja resisted the gods from the bottom of his heart, and even once inspired to overthrow the rule of the gods of the Western Regions.
Now, standing in front of a temple and listening to the dialogue between Lucius and the gods on an equal footing, Shabaja felt for the first time that the gods that the people of the Western Regions were afraid of were actually not so terrible.
There was silence in the cabin for a long time, and the wooden door opened with a "squeak", and an elderly woman slowly walked out of the cabin.
The old woman was on a vine-woven crutch. He looked up at Lucius and Shabaja.
Gazing at the old woman's eyes, Sabaja felt uncomfortable, as if the other party could see through him, and reached out to hold the scimitar at his waist.
At the moment when he grasped the scimitar in his hand, Sabaja immediately felt a warm current spread throughout his body, and the old woman's gaze was instantly blocked.
The old woman was amazed, she could feel the power of the very pure flame, looked at the scimitar on Shabaja's waist, and understood the horror of the scimitar. Dedecisively withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Lucius.
But when she looked at Lucius, the old woman was even more surprised, because in her eyes it looked. Lucius is like a transparent person, and his every qiē is presented in front of the old woman's eyes, as if he doesn't need to delve into it at all, and can see through Lucius at a glance.
This result surprised the old woman. She didn't believe that the mighty Lucius would be so easy to see through herself.
So I tried to look closely, and it was at this time. The old woman suddenly found that she could only see the surface of Lucius, and she couldn't see through what Lucius was thinking, especially what Lucius was thinking now, and the old woman couldn't understand it at all.
Su Sina is a deity, and after she became a deity, she accepted the worship of all peoples, and she was able to see everyone's thoughts almost at a glance.
And those who she couldn't see through were like Shabaja, who had something more powerful to protect them from the old woman's probing.
But Lecius is completely different, Lecius has no barriers, with Susina's divine eyes, he can see Lecius very clearly at a glance, know Lucius's strength, and know how good or bad Lucius has towards him.
However, the more she can see it so clearly, the more Su Sina feels that Lucius is very mysterious, and the more she looks at it, the more confused she feels.
It's like reading a book, when you read it once, you feel that you have completely read the book, everything in the book is in your mind, and you can grasp all the knowledge in the book.
But when you put down the book and recall the contents of the book, you will suddenly find that you don't remember anything.
Now Su Sina observes Lucius, which is such a result, she seems to be able to see through Lucius, but when she thinks about it carefully, she doesn't know what she knows about Lucius?
Susina had to bow to Lucius and said very low-key, "Respected Clover King, Susina salutes you. ”
Lucius smiled and stepped forward to help Su Sina up: "No need to be polite, no matter how you say that you are also a god, you really don't need to salute me, but Su Sina, do you have a choice? Do you want to choose me, or choose the King of Hearts outside?"
Su Sina didn't expect that Lucius would be so direct, which made Su Sina a little unsure of how to answer for a while.
After being silent for a long time, Su Sina could only bite the bullet and say: "Respected king, Su Sina is just a little god, I have no heart to fight, and I actually have no threat to you and the King of Hearts." ”
Hearing Su Sina say this, Lu Xiu Shi raised his face and laughed: "Hahaha, yes, the gods of your Western Regions countries are not a threat to us, but you are blocking our way, aren't you?"
Su Sina fell silent, thought for a moment and gritted her teeth and said, "King, Su Sina can make way for you, I just ask you to let Su Sina go." ”
Lucius muttered: "Well, in fact, you should know that the gods of the Qiuzi Kingdom and the Bairong Kingdom have already folded in my hands, don't you want to think about me at all?"
In the face of Lucius's aggressiveness, Su Sina was really a little unbearable, so she could only bite the bullet and say: "Don't dare, don't dare, Su Sina doesn't want to be your enemy, what happened before was just a helpless move, in fact, it was for self-preservation." ”
"Okay, give me your god crystal nucleus, and I can spare you, but you must promise me that from now on, you will not enslave the people of the city. ”
Lucius spoke with a striking force, his words containing an unmistakable momentum.
Su Sina's face was full of surprise, even a little incredible, and she couldn't believe her ears that Lucius would make such a harsh request.
The Divine Crystal Nucleus, that is a very important thing for a god, it can be said that no god can be lost, once lost, it is equivalent to losing the identity of the god, even if it is worshiped by all peoples, it cannot really use much faith power.
At the same time, Lucius also asked her to give up enslaving the people, which was equivalent to voluntarily giving up a large number of available believers, and from then on there was no difference between Susina and the idol in the temple.
In the face of such a harsh request, Su Sina really didn't know how to respond, and stood there stunned for a long time.
Suddenly, his face sank: "Your Highness Lucius, are your conditions too harsh? This is not the attitude that equal negotiation should have. ”
"Equality?" Lucius laughed on his back, "Hahaha, you little god, what qualifications do you have to negotiate equality with me? Do you think you have the ability to be equal to me? Not to mention that the King of Hearts is trapped by me outside, even if I let the King of Hearts in, he will not be able to protect you today." ”
Hearing Lucius say that the King of Hearts was actually trapped by him, Su Sina's face was suddenly shocked.
Quickly released his divine power to investigate, and soon discovered the enchantment in his garden, and at the same time felt the familiar breath belonging to the King of Hearts in the enchantment.
Susina raised her head in disbelief and looked at Lucius, she had just tried to do it, and that barrier could not be broken by herself.
She finally understood why Lucius was able to be fearless, why he was so strong in front of him, because Lucius had the strength, the strength to be able to wipe her and the King of Hearts together.
Susina was no match for Lecius at all, and now that even the King of Hearts, who could be relied on, was bound, she obviously had no choice.
Seeing that Su Sina was still hesitating, Lucius smiled and said, "Why are you still hesitating?" Actually, you don't have to hesitate, there are some things, whether it is you or Remer, you can't change the result, and the outcome of many things is doomed. ”
As Reimer tried his best, he finally exhausted the energy that was running the Heart of Time, shattering one of the gears inside and breaking out of the barrier of the Heart of Time.
But seeing Lucius taking Shabaja and slowly taking off in his floating boat, and he also clearly saw the old woman beside Lucius, Reimer already knew very well that he lost to Lucius again in this game.
Although he felt annoyed, he was helpless, and the Sand Leak in his hand had not yet recovered his energy, and when he was temporarily unable to use the Sand Leak, Reimer could only watch Lucius leave. (To be continued......)
