Chapter 42: The Core of the Sanctuary

The deafening sound of "boom" came from the depths of the Sanctuary, and the inner city, which had been relatively peaceful, instantly shook.

As it shook, a large number of grease monsters poured out of the alleys and houses, pouring into the oil-stained streets and frantically attacking the creatures that rushed into the inner city.

Even though the confusion in Lucius's heart had not yet been completely resolved, he quickly noticed the changes in the inner city, and when he saw the hordes of oil monsters pouring into the streets in all directions, he knew very well in his heart that the Sanctuary had been ruined to the last moment.

Temporarily suppressing the confusion in his heart, his gaze instantly became resolute and decisive, he picked up the magic machine gun, and gently pressed his palm on the mechanical source core.

The Source Core quickly extracts the mixed magic elements from his body, and quickly separates them, filling the magic machine gun with enough magic elements as needed.

Then, he turned to Du Liniang and Caroline and said, "Auntie, sister, please follow me, now we must rush forward with all our strength, and rush into the core area before the core of the holy realm completely collapses." ”

Hearing Lucius's words, Du Liniang and Caroline both looked solemn, and the two of them were also aware of the vibration of the entire inner city, understanding that the Holy Domain was about to be completely destroyed, and they also knew that the core of the Holy Domain was about to collapse, which meant that those demon gods who were sealed in the Holy Domain were about to completely break through the suppression and return to the world.

Seeing the solemn expressions of the two, Lucius smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, as long as we rush into the core before it collapses, there will be no danger." ”

Although they don't know why Lucius is so confident, Du Liniang and Caroline know very well in their hearts that Lucius seems cynical on the surface, but he will never do things that he is not sure of.

So, with a stern expression, the two of them followed closely behind Lucius and quickly rushed towards the deepest part of the Sanctuary, while Number Three and Number Four followed at the end of the group, responsible for cleaning up possible attacks from behind.

With the magic machine gun in Lucius's hand to open the way, the ice arrows all the way can be described as invincible, and those oil monsters who poured into the streets didn't have time to attack the three of them, and they were frozen into ice sculptures by the ice arrows.

However, as the three of them continued to go deeper, due to the explosion of the power of the Demon Gods in the Sanctuary Town, the great earthquake trembled away more and more, and at the same time, the houses on both sides of the street began to collapse, and the inner city began to collapse in the same way as the outer city.

"Uh-huh, sneer......" Under the leadership of Lucius, the three of them rushed through the shaking city, and finally stepped into the core of the entire Sanctuary, and as soon as they stepped in, they heard a deafening roar.

With the roar, the three of them watched as a huge steel boiler burst, and the boiler burst causing a chain reaction, causing the piston machine connected to the boiler and the gears that drove the power to be destroyed in the explosion one after another.

The core area almost turned into a sea of fire, but Lucius was still undaunted, taking Du Liniang and Caroline, braving the rising flames and heat around them, and rushed straight to the core of the sanctuary.

"Bang, boom" No. 3 and No. 4 pried open the entrance to the core, escorting the three of Lecius into it, and just when No. 4 finally stepped into the entrance, a piece of the top of his head collapsed and fell, and he was immediately sealed by priing open the entrance.

If it weren't for Du Liniang and Caroline's quick eyes, I am afraid that the impact of the collapsed debris on the twisted iron passage would squeeze Lucius inside.

The magic machine gun in Lucius' hand lit up, illuminating the passage where everyone entered, and the walls around them and the top of their heads were covered in metal.

Walking to the wall, Lucius tapped his hand twice, and when he heard a low response, Lucius couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, it looks like it's impossible to break through here, let's go, let's go inside first." ”

"But, but how are we going to leave? the core is the place where the demon god is sealed, what is the difference between going like this and going to die?"

As if he knew that Caroline would raise doubts in his heart, Lucius turned his head and looked at Caroline with a smile and said, "Caroline, don't worry, I will guarantee that you and your aunt can leave safely." ”

With that, he took out the clover card and ordered Three and Four: "Three, Four, remember, if you encounter any danger, you must immediately protect the two of them and evacuate." ”

As the mechanical spirits of the Clover family, although Three and Four are already autonomous, they will still obey the words of those holding the Clover cards, even if they know that Lucius's orders are inappropriate, they still solemnly agree.

Seeing that No. 3 and No. 4 nodded in agreement, Du Liniang raised her hand and gave Lucius a violent shudder, and said: "Stinky boy, you let these two iron guys protect us from the evacuation, then what should you do yourself? Besides, as a saint, the old lady still needs you to send someone to protect you? You better keep the two of them by your side." ”

When Caroline heard this, she also said again and again: "That's it, that is, the War Dou Qi Source Core that I fused with is superimposed with my own strength, and it can also reach a strength close to the Holy Rank, and the two of them still stay by your side." ”

"I don't need to, I have to go to the core alone, only there can I completely solve the confusion in my heart, not to mention, your power will be suppressed here. ”

"Well......" Hearing this, Du Liniang immediately tried, but she found that her fighting spirit could not be released, and she could only burst out a faint trace of her fighting spirit by forcibly urging it, which made her and Caroline frightened.

Instead, Lucius said calmly: "This is the core of the Sanctuary, the place where the Demon God is sealed, and there is a rule suppression here, and any fighting spirit and magic will be useless. ”

As he spoke, Lucius took out the metal box from the leather bag, placed it on the ground and unfolded the metal box, and then handed the two dark metal manipulator crossbows from the inside to Caroline and Du Liniang.

At the same time, he took out special crossbow arrows, several bottles of alchemical potions, and dozens of dark iron bumps, and then closed the lid of the unfolded mechanical box and restored it into a small metal box.

Retracted into the leather bag on his waist, he smiled and said to the stunned two: "Auntie, Caroline, these are the weapons equipped for you, there is no use for fighting spirit and magic here, you still have to rely on these mechanical weapons." ”

Receiving the crossbow arrows, potions, and iron bumps handed over by Lucius, Du Liniang couldn't help but ask: "Since you know the danger of the core, then why do you want to go alone?

In the face of Du Liniang's question, Lucius smiled and said, "Yes, I can feel that only in that core can I completely unravel the confusion, so I have to go." ”

Hearing Lucius say this, Caroline and Du Liniang suddenly felt that they didn't know the young man in front of them, this young man who was always full of sunny smiles, at this moment he was more like an old man who had gone through vicissitudes, and those deep eyes that seemed to be able to perceive a qiē made people feel palpitations.

However, Du Liniang knew very well in her heart that it was not that Lucius had gone through vicissitudes, nor that Lucius had the soul of an old man, and the luster in his eyes actually represented wisdom.

That is the wisdom of a well-read book, perhaps in Caroline's view, there is no obvious difference between the two kinds of wisdom, but Du Liniang, who can see the more knowledgeable, can tell it, because Lucius's wise eyes always contain a trace of confusion that is difficult to hide, which is not what an old man who has experienced vicissitudes of life should have.

Perhaps Lecius had read a lot of books and knew a lot of knowledge in many different fields, but he was always a young man with little experience, so the more he knew enough, the more he felt lost.

Only after experiencing all kinds of hardships and experiencing all kinds of vicissitudes of the world can we gradually find our true self, and at that time the confusion will naturally disappear.

Therefore, when I heard that Lucius said that he had to go to the core and solve the confusion in a dangerous way, Du Liniang was silent for a moment and agreed: "Indeed, you have too little experience, and you can't integrate a lot of knowledge, so you should really take a look at the core." ”

It's not just Du Liniang who thinks so, in fact, the old alchemist Nestor and the old one-eyed dragon, as well as the wiser No. 1 and No. 2 before, all have the same idea as Du Liniang, and even Lucius's father agrees.

Hearing that Du Liniang actually agreed, Caroline still couldn't figure it out, turned her head to look at Du Liniang and said, "Auntie, you actually agree with the bad boy to die?"

Caroline's excitement startled Du Liniang and Lucius, and after a long time, Du Liniang came to her senses, smiled and reached out to touch Caroline's cheek and whispered softly: "Girl, your heart is in turmoil, you have to believe Lucius." ”

Hearing Du Liniang say this, Caroline was silent for a moment, feeling that she couldn't persuade Lucius, and finally could only raise her head and say to Lucius: "Bad boy, you must live." ”

Hearing this, Lucius grinned and nodded, "Hehe, don't worry, I can't die, let's go, go and see, what is hidden in the core of the Holy Domain?"

Lucius took the lead, walked deep along the passage, took two steps and stopped, turned back to Du Liniang and Caroline and said: "Auntie, sister, those iron bumps are magic energy bombs, they are very powerful, when you use them, you just need to pull open the upper ring and throw it out, you must be careful to use it." ”

Du Liniang said with a relaxed face: "Don't worry, the old lady knows how to use this thing, hmph, if you really meet someone who doesn't have long eyes, the old lady will use this thing to blow him up." ”

Hearing Du Liniang's fierce words, Lucius laughed and said, "Haha, yes, yes, blow them up." ”

The three of them walked along the metal passage, and soon encountered obstacles, and seeing the mechanical demon spirit blocking the way, looking very similar to the number three and four, Caroline asked in a low voice: "Lucius, aren't these guys the same as your number three and four?

"No, they're not like Three, Four, they're not mechanical spirits anymore, they're metal ghosts, they don't have a consciousness of their own, but they've been corrupted by the Seal Demon God, just like those oil monsters out there. ”

When Caroline heard this, she immediately gained courage, and as she moved her hands and feet, she walked towards the metal ghosts, and said, "Hmph, it's the same as those oil monsters? Let me clean them up." ”

Seeing that Caroline was going to use martial arts to deal with the metal ghost, and the metal ghost approached Caroline, her originally dim eyes flashed red.

"Don't ......" Seeing this, Lucius felt a crisis in his heart, and reached out to grab Caroline to stop her.

But the metal ghosts were faster, rushing towards Caroline, their arms turning into sharp blades in the blink of an eye, slashing at Caroline.

The sudden change also made Caroline a little confused, but after all, she was the Valkyrie of the Temple of War, and she quickly came to her senses, pulled out the giant axe from her back, and swung it to meet her metal ghost.

"Choke, bang" Caroline fought with the metal ghost, and was instantly knocked away by the huge power of the metal ghost, fortunately she was caught by Lucius who rushed forward, and at the same time, No. 3 and No. 4 also rushed out, entangled with the metal ghost, blocking the metal ghost from continuing to attack, protecting Lucius and Caroline.

Sitting on the ground with Lucius, Caroline lowered her head in amazement, and muttered to herself in disbelief when she saw her cracked jaws: "How is it possible, how is it possible?"

Seeing this, Du Liniang stepped forward and looked at the metal ghosts fighting with No. 3 and No. 4 with a solemn expression, and whispered: "It seems that we are really in trouble." ”
