The "Ang Ang Ang" steam motorcycle restarted, dragging the large wooden cart behind it, driving out of the woods and running on the slightly desolate wilderness of the Western Regions.

Lucius handed over the matter of driving a steam motorcycle to Belute, and he sat in a big wooden car with Shabaja and Susina to learn some of the low-level conditions of the countries in the Western Regions from Shabaja, who had been wandering in the Western Regions all year round.

Through the chat between Guò and Shabaja, Lucius generally has a deeper understanding of the countries of the Western Regions, and the situation that Shabaja told Lucius is basically the situation at the bottom of the countries of the Western Regions.

According to Shabaja, the people at the bottom of the Western Regions countries actually live a semi-slave life, and in the eyes of most of the nobles of the Western Regions, the people at the bottom are just a group of goods that provide them with various services.

Many nobles do not regard the people at the bottom as human beings at all, and even in some city-states in the Western Regions, the people at the bottom will become tribute to the gods.

Shabaja bowed his head and said with some restraint: "I have participated in the construction of temples, and I have witnessed that those who are responsible for building temples often go hungry to build temples, and the city-states will not pay them even a penny. ”

Speaking of this, Saba Ja paused for a moment, and the whole person relaxed, and sighed: "Actually, the ordinary people in the Western Regions are not living a good life. ”

Lucius nodded and said, "It can be seen that among the one hundred and eight city-states in the Western Regions, one hundred and eight gods are enshrined, and so many gods worship and worship, it will definitely cost a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

Sacrificing to the gods seems to be able to obtain the protection of the gods, but like the Western Regions, which is originally barren, the people in a city are simply not enough to worship a god, but the entire one hundred and eight cities in the Western Regions have one hundred and eight gods.

If so many gods want to be sacrificed to all, it is simply exhausting the water to fish, and it will become a disaster for the people of the entire Western Regions.

It's like that little Fuso country. There are 80 million gods of all kinds, but in the end, many gods may not be as strong as powerful samurai because they can't be sacrificed, which is the backlog of too many gods.

Comparatively speaking, although the country of Fuso is not very large, the land in Fuso is relatively fertile, and those gods belong to the same civilization, so the burden of the people is easier than that of the countries of the Western Regions.

In the barren land of the Western Regions, the people of the countries themselves have not gained much, and the one hundred and eight gods are forcibly absorbing faith and sacrifice. As a result, the countries of the Western Regions will only become more barren.

When Shabaja was wandering in the countries of the Western Regions, he also participated in the construction of some temples, and also saw the suffering of many low-level people.

"The temples in those cities are different from each other, and each deity has different requirements, so it will be very hard to build a temple, and often every temple will be completed, and a large number of laborers will die. ”

Hearing this, Su Sina, who was sitting in the big wooden cart without saying a word. Suddenly, he said, "The temple is very important to us, although we are gods, we have not become real gods, we need to use the temple. Obtain a large number of sacrifices and beliefs in order to survive forever. ”

Hearing this, Shabaja snorted coldly and said, "You guys, in order to get eternal life for yourself, continue to oppress the people's beliefs and thoughts. You're just a bunch of moths. ”

Seeing that Shabaja was a little annoyed, Su Sina felt a little helpless, lowered her head and didn't explain too much.

Susina could feel it. Shabaja still has this deep hostility towards himself, and if it weren't for the fact that Lucius was by his side, the other party might have directly used the treasure weapon to kill him.

Lucius stretched out his hand and patted Shabaja, calmed his feelings, and asked with a smile: "So, you are wandering in the Western Regions with the purpose of killing the gods in the city?"

Hearing what Lucius said, Susina was suddenly shocked and looked at Sabaja in disbelief.

When he saw the golden scimitar on Shabaja's waist, he connected with the flame giant who suddenly appeared outside his city.

Su Sina suddenly came to her senses and exclaimed, "You, you entered my city to kill me?"

Shabaja did not hide it, and said very directly: "Yes, since I awakened the blood of the King of Hearts and accidentally obtained the golden scimitar, I began to walk in the countries of the Western Regions, looking for an opportunity to rush into the temple to kill the gods in the temple. ”

"You, you, you actually rushed into the temple to kill the gods, but, but how can you do that?" Su Sina asked with a horrified face.

Without waiting for Shabaja to answer her, Lucius spoke first, "He can do it, don't forget Jì, he is a descendant of the royal blood of the King of Hearts, and he has a treasure in his hand." ”

Su Sina suddenly understood, knowing how terrible Sabaja was, and couldn't help but quietly glance at the scimitar in his hand again.

Treasure, that is one of the four treasures of the King of Hearts, although the four treasures may not be comparable to the leakage of the sand, but Shabaja, who has the treasure, is not difficult to kill Su Sina.

Now, Su Sina couldn't help but rejoice in her heart that she had given up her family business in the city and chose to follow Lucius, which was really the right choice, not only to escape Reimer's persecution, but also to avoid the fate of being killed by Shabaja.

Following Lucius, according to Lucius, he doesn't need to kill the gods, he just needs the crystal nucleus of the gods, extracting the divine power in them as energy, and at the same time, he will also provide Susina with a suitable body, so that her spirit can survive.

For Lucius, after some research over the years, he has conducted a lot of research on the way to the East, and has discovered some commonalities between gods and demons.

And after arriving in the East, Lucius did not give up his research, and finally succeeded in the southern frontier, successfully creating a mechanical body that could be used by the gods for sustenance.

In other words, he was able to transform the gods into mechanical spirits, so that they could survive on their mechanical bodies, so that they no longer needed to resort to sacrifices and beliefs.

This qiē is all a strategy that Lucius has formulated a long time ago according to the situation in the East, after all, his power in the East is not very strong, and in the face of the two eternal god kingdoms, Lucius is not absolutely sure that he will be able to win.

Therefore, Lucius needs to get as much support as possible, and after analyzing the situation in the entire East, he has already taken the gods of the Western Regions as his help.

After all, most of these gods and spirits of the Western Regions were the surviving guys of the Sand Sea Empire. They have also been suppressed by many immortal realms and Buddha kingdoms over the years, so the gods of the Western Regions can only retreat in their respective cities, and they have not even tried to get out of the city.

But in Lucius's view, this group of gods of the Western Regions had great ambitions, and if they really had no ambitions, they would not have turned into gods in the first place and survived with the help of sacrifices and beliefs.

Ambition can be exploited in Lucius's opinion, and he wants to use the ambition of the gods and make these gods his help. Help yourself to gain more support so that you can gain a place in the East and take the lead in the fight against the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom.

However, what Lucius didn't expect was that the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom couldn't bear it at first, and wanted to attack the Tang Empire, so they actually instigated the demon clan to invade Middle-earth.

It can be said that the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom instigated the demon clan to invade Middle-earth, disrupting some of Lucius's original plans. But it also gave Lucius another chance, and he managed to gain a firm foothold in southern Xinjiang first.

And with part of the land of the Tang Empire on the south bank of the Tianjiang River, he exchanged it with the Southern Xinjiang Demon Clan and obtained the hinterland of the Southern Xinjiang Demon Clan. Several mines with extremely rich mineral resources allowed his workshop to grow rapidly and begin to manufacture a number of machines to support his strength.

Coupled with some of the things he has laid on the south bank of the Heavenly General, it can be said that Lucius is at least gaining a foothold in Middle-earth now. Even if the second saint and the master had some opinions about themselves, they were still able to gain a high voice among the people, so they continued to expand their strength quietly.

Now it has entered the countries of the Western Regions. Lucius already had a certain foundation, but he still decided to take the original method for the gods of the Western Regions.

So this time he treated Su Sina as strong as before, and did not wipe out Su Sina directly, but gave Su Sina a chance to submit to himself.

Seeing that Su Sina was still a little unaccustomed to her current body, Lu Si Si smiled and said: "Su Sina, you get used to it first, and when you get to the city of Luna, I will arrange a better body for you, and then you will be a mechanical god, and you will be able to directly use your divine power." ”

When Su Sina heard this, she was immediately full of anticipation, in fact, for Su Sina, she was already very happy to be able to leave the temple and city that bound her.

If she could continue to use her divine power, it would be too good for her, and Susina felt that she had chosen Lucius wisely.

The city where Su Sina was originally located was just a small city-state in the Western Regions, and because it was relatively remote, it did not have many sacrifices and beliefs, and for Su Sina, the small city and temple were like a cage, and she had been looking forward to getting out of the cage.

Seeing Susina's appearance, Shabaja couldn't help but whisper to Lucius, "Can you really believe in this god?"

Seeing Sabaja's vigilance against Susina, Lucius responded with a smile: "Don't worry, there is nothing to fear when you leave the gods of the temple." ”

Before Shabaja could speak again, Lucius hurriedly said, "Actually, what we have to worry about now is not her, but your fellow brother, Reimer will not let us go lightly, even if he no longer pursues us, he will definitely rush to the city of Xuna and set up a net against us." ”

Sabaja fell silent for a moment, sat down in the big wooden cart with his head bowed and stopped talking.

Obviously, he felt the pressure from Lucius's words, after all, Reimer's strength was above him, and he held the strongest treasure of the King of Hearts.

It can be said that Shabaja is not Reimer's opponent in terms of personal strength or strength in their respective hands, and this competition is not equal at all.

Shabaja could even foresee that if he hadn't met Lucius, he would have been found and killed by the other party.

Now, after listening to Lucius's words and knowing that Reimer would make a final interception of himself in the city of Thana before entering the Sand Sea, Shabaja had to start worrying, and at the same time retreated in his heart, feeling that maybe he shouldn't go to the Sand Sea.

Seeing that Shabaja was silent, Lucius seemed to be starting to retreat, and did not want to go to Shahai to fight Reimer.

Stretched out his hand and patted Shabaja's shoulder and said, "Don't be naïve, do you think that if you don't go to the sand sea and don't fight for the inheritance and treasures of the King of Hearts, Reimer will let you go? ”

Rucius's words made Shabaja wake up to the fact that his fate had been sealed since he possessed the king's blood.

There is no way for him to return to his previous normal life, and there is no way to continue to escape, if he wants to live, he must face it.

You have to be brave enough to face the challenge, do your best, prove yourself to everyone, and defeat another guy with the blood of the king, only when he finally obtains the inheritance of the King of Hearts, he can completely ask for bad luck and can regain his fate in his own hands.

Su Sina muttered in a low voice at this time: "Life is the most important thing, if you don't even have your life, what is the ending?"

Shabaja raised his head and looked at Lucius and said, "Thank you, I understand, I have no way out, just like you, we can only move forward and defeat our opponents and enemies." ”

Lucius grinned and said, "Hahaha, that's right, that's right, we can't retreat, and retreating is tantamount to death, so we must move forward, destroy all the enemies who stand in our way, defeat our opponents, and win the final victory." ”

Inspired Shabaja's fighting spirit, and in the following days, Lucius continued to teach Shabaja a lot of knowledge about firearms, and according to Shabaja's mastery of the power of fire, he specially made a firearm for Shabaja, which could make up for Sabaja's slightly inferior knife skills.

Of course, Lucius will also take the time to accompany Sabaja to practice swordsmanship, constantly training Sabaja's knife skills, and stimulating his fit for the treasure of the golden scimitar.

Sabaja is worthy of being a descendant of the King of Hearts, and the owner of the King of Hearts' royal blood can be described as very fast to learn, and can quickly master knife skills, and at the same time practice a good marksmanship.

The combination of knife skills and marksmanship has improved Shabaja's strength, and now he is no longer the wandering boy who only knows how to fight hard, he has been able to perform gorgeous knife skills, and can also match his weird marksmanship.

Many times, in one-on-one training, Lucius may be inattentive and suffer, which shows how quickly Shabaja has improved.

And when Shabaja's strength was fundamentally changed, Lucius and the others went through a long journey, detaining several gods on the way, and finally saw the end of the horizon, the city of Hauna that stood on the edge of the sand sea, as if blocking the wind and sand. (To be continued......)
