In the dim metal passage, Du Liniang and Caroline stood beside Lucius, looking at Lucius who was squatting there with his head bowed and deep in thought, obviously stimulated by Schulade's words just now.

Du Liniang felt that Lu Xius might like Qi Li'er in the Nature Temple, but now that she found that the other party was just using herself, she might have suffered some psychological blows.

After thinking about it, he squatted down beside Lucius and whispered relief: "Stinky boy, don't worry too much, those two little girls are obviously the most trusted people by Shulede, in fact, all of us, including the Temple of Nature, are afraid that they have been used, so you don't have to feel sad, besides, isn't there Caroline here?"

Hearing Du Liniang say this, before Lucius could calm down, Caroline had already blushed and said angrily: "Auntie, what are you talking nonsense? I, I don't mean that to this bad boy." ”

Du Liniang hurried to Caroline's side and whispered: "Girl, don't you see this kid who is not giving up? Young man, it must be the first time you like Qi Li'er's little witch, and you can't bear to see him sink like this?"

Hearing this, Caroline looked down at Lucius, and when she saw his sluggish appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, and she was stunned and silent.

Seeing Caroline's appearance, Du Liniang understood the other party's thoughts, and continued to whisper: "Girl, you have to understand that now the stinky boy is the time when his heart is empty, this is the time when you approach his heart, you have to grasp it well." ”

Du Liniang's words made Caroline's heart moved, in fact, since Lucius let her go many times, she has absolute strength but does not attack her, Caroline has some strange feelings for Lucius in her heart, and this time she is even stronger from the side of the Holy Son Fubos to pull her to her side.

Caroline knew very well in her heart that Lucius did this because he knew that if Caroline stayed in the team of the Holy Son, she would inevitably become cannon fodder for the charge, so he would force Caroline to his side.

All these things made Caroline remember it in her heart, and now seeing Lecius's sluggish appearance, she couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart, and after Du Liniang's encouragement, she suddenly felt deeper feelings for Lucius in her heart.

Just when Caroline was overjoyed in her heart and planned to squat down to comfort Lucius as Du Liniang said.

Lucius suddenly sighed and said, "Hey, it's really troublesome, and I haven't been able to completely solve it in the end, the secret of this metal ghost mechanical core, oh, it seems that it is really not easy to create a metal ghost." ”

Hearing Lucius's words, Du Liniang and Caroline were stunned at first, and then the two came behind Lucius and stretched out their heads to look at Lucius's hands who were squatting there.

But see, Lucius had various mechanical tools in front of him, holding a mechanical wrench in his hand, dismantling the destroyed metal ghost, and a pile of parts were disassembled by him and piled up next to him.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Du Liniang and Caroline finally understood, it turned out that Lucius was not depressed because the three of them were depressed, but was concentrating on the study of metal ghost structures, and it seemed that he didn't take the three of them to heart at all.

Caroline was stunned at first, but then couldn't help laughing, and she was naturally overjoyed to learn that Lucius was not depressed because of Qili's affection.

However, Du Liniang raised her hand angrily and gave Lu Xiusi a violent shudder, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, what are you doing?

"Oh ......" Lucius covered his head and said quite aggrievedly, "I heard, it's actually nothing, people are originally using each other, besides, even without our help, with the black spear card in Shulede's hand, they can easily enter the Sanctuary." ”

Hearing Lucius's words, Du Liniang's anger gradually subsided, and she was silent for a moment and muttered: "That's right, even if they don't use us, the three of them can enter here." ”

Lucius dropped the metal parts in his hand, put away the tools placed on the ground again, stood up and sighed helplessly: "Hey, it seems that if you want to find a way to create a metal ghost, it won't work for a short time, let's go, let's move on." ”

As he spoke, Lucius took the lead and walked forward, Du Liniang and Caroline could only follow quickly, and as for No. 3 and No. 4, they never said a word, and followed closely at the end of the line.

Turning around along the metal passage, I don't know how long I walked, there were several waves of metal ghosts along the way, but they were all easily solved by No. 3 and the slightest, and it didn't affect Lucius and their pace in the slightest.

Eventually, a light appeared in front of the passage, and as the light gradually expanded, the trio of Lucius, Du Liniang, and Caroline realized that they had finally reached the end of the metal passage, and were about to truly step into the heart of the Sanctuary.

The three of them unconsciously quickened their pace, and when they passed through the light curtain at the end of the passage, the sight in front of them shocked the three of them, and Caroline couldn't help but exclaim: "This, is this the core of the Sanctuary? It's like a fairyland, it's really beautiful." ”

The scene before them was, as Caroline had said, like a legendary heavenly wonderland, where Lucius and the others stood was a cave in the top of a hill, surrounded by lush trees.

Looking into the distance through the trees, a rainbow bridge stretches from under the hill where the three of them are located to a huge city floating in the sky not far away.

The Hongqiao extending from the floating city, as well as the water flowing from the sky above the city, makes the whole space surrounded by water vapor, and many uncivilized and intelligent creatures play under the Hongqiao and those flowing water columns, where there is no dirt and oil, no disputes, no hustle.

Standing stunned at the entrance of the cave for a long time, Lucius took a deep breath, letting the refreshing air around him sink into his lungs, and then slowly patted out the turbid air in his lungs, the whole process made him feel refreshed.

Fold up the magic machine gun, put it back in the leather bag on his waist, and beckoned Du Liniang and Caroline, who were still stunned, and said, "Okay, let's go, go to the real holy city and have a look." ”

After that, Lucius took a step and walked down the hill outside the entrance of the cave, Du Liniang and Caroline came back to their senses and found that Lucius had walked in front of the Hongqiao, and the two hurriedly accelerated their pace to chase after them and followed Lucius to the Hongqiao.

Stepping on the Hongqiao, there seems to be no touch under their feet, but the three of them were really dragged and did not fall down, this wonderful feeling makes people a little unbearable to take the next step.

However, Lucius quickly came back to his senses, and walked forward with firm steps, step by step towards the floating city at the end of the Hongqiao, Du Liniang and Caroline were stunned for a moment before they kept up with Lucius's pace.

Walking on the Hongqiao, it seemed that they could forget the hustle and bustle and strife, and the three of them all felt peaceful, and their peaceful minds were empty, without even the slightest distraction.

In the rare tranquility, many pasts came to Lucius's mind, and this time he was completely from the standpoint of a spectator, looking at the various pasts that had been seen, and even the various scenes that he had seen on the stairs of history before came to his mind.

Unconsciously, Lucius seemed to have an answer to the confusion in his heart, and the picture in his mind kept changing, and finally all the pictures began to regress, all the way back to the original point.

Back in the heat of the day, forging the original model of the Sanctuary, the young man standing on the high platform, smiling and staring at the sky, staring at Lucius who was standing on the stairs and watching.

At this moment, Lucius suddenly heard the words of the person who created the holy realm: "I want to use my life, my wisdom, my technology, and my wealth to create a city in the sky where there will be no strife forever, so that all living beings in the world can live freely in the city in the sky." ”

The next moment, Lucius heard the voice of the Founder again: "Freedom, hope, this is the true meaning of the city in the sky for everyone." ”

When Lucius was stunned, he had already reached the end of the Hongqiao and stepped on the floating city.

In an instant, he woke up in shock, and the confusion about himself and the future in his heart was suddenly unraveled, and he looked at the empty city in front of him, overgrown with grass and green trees.

Seeing the birds around the branches and the small animals running in the meadow, he finally understood what the founder yearned for: "Thank you, thank you, for giving us freedom and hope." ”

Lecius finally understood why the Founders would allow the gods to settle in the Sanctuary, because in his view it was a respect for the freedom of living beings and the choice of hope, even if the power would eventually bring depravity and disaster to the Sanctuary.

And now, the Sanctuary is about to be destroyed, and the primordial halls of the many temples in the floating city will also appear with a lot of wealth and power, which are also the attraction of the creatures who enter the Sanctuary.

"Choice" is in the hands of each living being, thinking of the disasters that those power and wealth may bring, Lucius suddenly reached out and grabbed Du Liniang and Caroline, and without waiting for the two to react, he pulled the two of them and ran quickly towards the city.

He didn't want Du Liniang and Caroline to choose, he didn't want to see the two of them also end up depraved and corrupted because of their power and wealth.

At this moment, he regretted taking the two of them to the floating city, so he wanted to take the two of them away as much as possible, away from this city full of sin, and if he didn't choose, he wouldn't fall, this was what Lucius thought in his heart now.

Du Liniang and Caroline were dragged by him to run, at first they were still dazed, but when they walked through the lush forest, they saw all kinds of buildings standing in the city, shining with divine brilliance.

The two quickly came to their senses, and Caroline pointed to a building not far away and exclaimed: "That, there is the Temple of War, exactly the same as the Temple of War, no, it is more magnificent than the Temple of War, that, it should be the original temple of the Temple of War." ”

But Lucius didn't let go of her, and didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go, but just pulled her and Du Liniang to continue running towards the deepest part of the city.

Seeing that she was about to run through the fork in the road leading to the Temple of War, even Du Liniang couldn't bear it, so she stopped with Caroline and grabbed Lucius, who wanted to continue running.

Du Liniang said to Lucius with a stern expression: "Why? Why don't you let us go to the God of War Temple? You should know very well that it is the original temple of the God of War, the Temple of War in the original holy area, where it has the oldest inheritance of the Temple of War, and there may even be the source core of the God of War. ”

Hearing Du Liniang's questioning words, Lucius showed a look of disappointment on his face for the first time, and stood there staring at Du Liniang and Caroline for a long time, seeing that the two of them yearn for the Temple of War.

In the end, he just sighed, didn't say a word, turned around and continued to run into the depths of the city, and the moment he turned around, tears fell from the corners of his eyes and disappeared with the wind.

Seeing Lucius turn around and run away alone, especially when he didn't say a word, Du Liniang and Caroline both had a blank look on their faces, looking at No. 3 and No. 4 beside them, they didn't understand what Lucius meant.

Standing at the fork in the road to the Temple of War, after hesitating for a long time, Du Liniang and Caroline still couldn't resist it, and they chose to turn to the fork in the road and go to the Temple of War for the yearning for strength and wealth in the original temple of war.

Soon after the two of them turned into a fork in the road, Lucius slowly retreated, staring at the two of them and the three and four in the distance.

After a long time, he muttered: "Aunt Du Liniang, Sister Caroline, this is your choice, I respect you, everyone can't resist the thirst for strength, I hope you can really see hope." ”

After whispering, Lucius turned around again, and ran towards the deepest part of the floating city with a determined step.
