"Click" a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and Belletti only noticed that there were heavy dark clouds in the sky at some point, and as the lightning and thunder crossed, the black clouds seemed to be cut open by a water bag, and the downpour fell from the sky in an instant.

The mechanical armor on Lucius's body was cleaned by the heavy rain, and at the same time, the high temperature of the parts also dropped with the rain due to the overload of the inside.

The metal wings on his back gradually tightened, and the armor that covered his body began to converge and fold, and finally all of them were gathered into the gauntlets on Lucius's wrist.

The rain washed away the blood on Lucius's body, and at the same time soaked his whole body.

As for the flame giant on the ground, there was no dregs left at this time, and the parched earth was moistened by the rain and soon began to regain its vitality.

In the blink of an eye, the land outside the city was washed by the rain, and dense plants quickly grew, and those plants and trees grew wildly under the moisture of the abundant rain, and almost in the blink of an eye, the originally desolate outside the city was covered with vibrant green.

The heavy rain gradually subsided, the sun cleared the clouds, and after the rain, the green earth outside the city and the blue sky reflected each other, revealing a picturesque and beautiful scenery.

A drop of rain fell on Belletti's cheek, and Belletti looked up at the trees that had suddenly risen from the ground around her, and her eyes were full of surprise.

Instead, Berluti pushed the steam scooter through the trees that rose from the ground to the side of Lucius, who was standing in front of the city gates.

The water vapor on Lucius's body had been evaporated by the mechanical device in the mechanical armarmor, and he raised his head to look up at the ancient city gate in front of him, as if he knew about Beluti's arrival, and whispered, "It seems that our trouble has not been completely solved." ”

Bedudi was a little puzzled when she heard this, and asked in a low voice, "Hasn't that flame giant been killed by you?"

Lucius responded with a smile: "In the ancient civilization of the East. There is a sentence on the elaboration of heaven and earth, heaven and earth are balanced, the pole yin and the pole yang are difficult to exist alone, the so-called harmony of yin and yang, the extremes of things must be opposed, this city seems to be shrouded in heat, but if there is really only fire, I am afraid that there will be no living creatures in the city. ”

Beludi scanned her surroundings warily, then at the nearby gate, and asked Lucius in a low voice, "That." Shall we go in anyway?"

Lucius responded with an indifferent smile: "Naturally, we have to go in, if we don't go in, how can we fill the water tank of the motorcycle?"

"But......" Belletti touched the water bag on the steamer, trying to stop Lucius from entering the city.

But before Belletti could speak, Lucius was already walking towards the city.

This unknown city, with its gates open throughout, does not seem to refuse anyone entering or leaving the city, like most cities in the Western Regions.

Lucius was completely unhindered, just swaggering like that. Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes in the city, he slowly walked into the city.

Seeing that Lucius had already entered the city, Beluti knew that there was no turning back, and hurriedly pushed the steam motorcycle to follow.

The layout of the castle is a little rudimentary. Not to mention that compared with the city built of white marble in Bairong Kingdom, even compared with the East Turtle City, it will be slightly shabby and dilapidated.

However, despite the fact that the city looks a little dilapidated. But it doesn't affect the city's bustling markets.

It was only when he saw Lucius slashing the flame giant with his sword, and at this moment, seeing him slowly walking into the city, the eyes of the people in the city were all attracted by him. They have forgotten what they were doing.

Even Beluti, who was following behind Lucius and pushing the steam motorcycle, did not attract any attention.

All eyes were on Lucius alone, and he had become the focus of the entire city at this moment, making the people in the city both afraid and unable to help but want to look at him.

Belletti caught up with Lucius and opened her mouth to say something, when she noticed the strange atmosphere around her.

Especially when I saw the eyes of the people around me, I was so frightened that I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth.

And Lucius didn't stop long, as if he had found something, and took a step to turn and walk towards a stall not far away.

Belletti was a little helpless when she saw this, but she could only drag the steam motorcycle to follow quickly.

Lucius walked to a very ordinary stall, crouched down and picked up a scimitar directly from the stall.

Gently stroking the scimitar, he asked the owner of the stall, "Excuse me, how do you sell this scimitar?"

The owner of the stall is a hairy boy who looks younger than Lucius, but in fact, he also saw the situation of Lucius vs. the Flame Giant before.

As a merchant who set up a stall in the city, the young man knew very well what the flaming giant was, although he was not very old.

It is said that it was the enemy of the gods in the city, a demon who had been defeated by the gods, but was not completely defeated by the gods, but hid outside the city, covering the city with fire and heat all year round, and at the same time sending small fire men to attack the passing merchants from time to time.

Whenever there is a burning man, the people in the city and the merchants who pass by will spontaneously organize themselves to go to the temple in the city to pray to the gods, so that the gods can send down their blessings to help them expel those burning people.

It's just that everyone knows very well that the gods are restrained by the fire demons, and there is no way to completely eradicate the heat and fire outside the city.

For thousands of years, it has been customary for people living in the city and traveling to the past, as long as they leave the city, everyone must first go to the temple to worship the gods, praying for the protection of the gods, so that they will not be attacked by the fire people and can leave the city safely.

Today, two outsiders met a burning man outside the city, and everyone in the city felt that these two outsiders were really unlucky.

Because they had not yet had time to enter the city, they first encountered the burning man outside the city, and everyone in the city felt that the two outsiders were certain to die.

But what happened later shocked everyone, one of the outsiders actually took the initiative to fight those fire people, and even the tall and terrifying flame demon was lured out.

Many people in the city immediately put the work in their hands, and all of them knelt on the ground and prayed, praying that the gods of the temples in the city would protect them, and that the gods would appear and kill the flame demon that appeared outside the city to save the people in the city.

However, what shocked everyone was. Before their prayers could be answered by the gods, a great battle broke out directly outside the city.

To everyone's surprise, the young man of the two outsiders killed the terrible flame demon and pierced the demon's heart with a sword.

Now that the young man had walked into the city and was standing in front of his stall, Shabaja, who had lived in the Western Regions for more than 20 years, really didn't know what to say, so he could only be stunned and silent.

Until Lecius asked again, "Boss, are you going to sell this scimitar?"

Sabaja finally came to his senses. Quickly stammered in response: "Sell, sell, sell." ”

"How much?" Lucius gripped the scimitar tightly, not letting go in the slightest, and seemed to like the scimitar very much.

Seeing that Lucius couldn't put it down, the cunning of the Shabaja merchant was instantly exposed, and he said directly to Lucius: "Fifty gold coins." ”

But as soon as the words were spoken, Shabaja immediately regretted it, thinking of the young man in front of him. Just after fighting the Flame Demon outside the city, and killing the Flame Demon with a sword, and now he actually wants to pit the other party's money, a horror suddenly rose in Shabaja's heart.

I quickly wanted to open my mouth to make up for it. But before he could speak, he saw a heavy cloth bag thrown at him.

Shabaja hurriedly reached out and took the cloth bag down, and the heavy cloth bag made Shabaja's whole body fall backwards, and finally sat on the ground.

Lucius was a little surprised to see this. "I'm so sorry, I, I didn't expect you to be unprepared. You, are you alright?"

Shabaja shook his head blankly: "No, it's okay. ”

Seeing Shabaja's eyes straight, Lucius smiled and said, "Hehe, the money is for you, this scimitar belongs to me, and we will meet later." ”

With that, Lucius turned around and walked in the direction of the temple in the city.

Behind her, Beludi was speechless for a while, but seeing that Lucius had gone away, she could only quickly push the steam motorcycle to follow.

After Lucius and Beludi were away for a long time, Sabaja gradually came to his senses, but he heard the owner of the stall next to him say enviously: "Sabaja, you kid is really lucky." ”

At first, Shabaja didn't understand what was going on, but when he touched the cloth bag in his arms, he suddenly came to his senses.

The moment the cloth bag was opened, a dazzling golden light shot out of the bag, and Shabaja's head seemed to be smashed by a big mallet, and the whole person was stunned again.

"Gold, it's really gold, that man actually bought that scimitar with fifty gold coins. ”

"Rich man, it seems that he is from the Tang Empire in the East, I'm afraid he is a certain noble son of the Tang Empire. ”

"Well, why didn't I have that kind of good luck? Why didn't he take a fancy to what I had on my stall?"

"Hahaha, forget it, how can people see those fakes on your stall. ”

Hearing the gossip of the people around him, Shabaja quickly came to his senses and sat on the ground and struggled for a moment.

Suddenly, he put away his stall, wrapped the things on the stall and carried it on his back, and with the bag of gold coins in his arms, he quickly chased in the direction where Lucius had left.

When the people in the market came to their senses, some of them tried to attack Shabaja, only to find that he was already gone.

Following Lucius, he gradually moved away from the street market that had entered the city, and turned into a long, quieter street.

Belletti quickly pushed the steam motorcycle, catching up with Lucius and watching the latter play with the scimitar in his hand.

Puzzled, he asked, "This scimitar doesn't look special, you actually bought it for fifty gold coins?"

Lucius didn't look at Beludi, but still said while playing with the scimitar: "What? Do you care about money? Those gold coins are all from the country of Qiuzi and Bairong anyway, and they are not our own money, besides, we have two mines in our hands, and we are not short of money." ”

Belletti was also a little helpless when she heard this, but she still insisted: "However, this scimitar does not seem to be worth fifty gold coins at all. ”

Lucius said calmly: "Whether it's worth it or not depends on whether you can find it worth." ”

With that, Lucius and Belletti had arrived at the temple in the city, which was built in a tree-lined garden.

Unlike the other places outside the city, which are dry and dilapidated, this is like a wonderland out of this world, and the garden is full of life, and people can't help but want to step into it.

Lucius did not rush in, but stood in front of the garden, carefully examining the qiē in the garden.

From the outside, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the garden, but it didn't look like anything was wrong, but it made Beludi's dark color dignified.

Putting the steam motorcycle aside, Belletti took two steps forward and whispered to Lucius, "Are we really going in?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Belletti immediately noticed the movement behind her, turned around and shouted, "What person? Get out." ”

Not long after, Shabaja walked out trembling and saw Beruti's fierce gaze, and his eyes showed fear.

However, when he saw that Lucius had his back to him, he still mustered up the courage to speak: "Honorable lord, I, my name is Shabaja, yes, I have come to return your gold coins to you, that scimitar, in fact, is not worth fifty gold coins. ”

Instead of looking back at Shabaja, Lucius calmly asked, "Oh, why do you want to give it back to me when you have already sold it to me and have succeeded in getting the gold from me?"

Shabaja lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "My lord, I'm sorry, yes, I deceived you. ”

While Shabaja was talking, Lucius suddenly saw that the door to the garden in front of him was actually sealed by a climbing rattan, as if he wanted to block Lucius's entry.

Lucius clenched the scimitar in his hand and wanted to pull out the scimitar, but when he heard Shabaja's words behind him, he stopped again and asked Shabaja behind him in a low voice: "Do you believe in gods?"

Shabaja was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and looked at Lucius and didn't know how to answer, he didn't understand what Lucius meant?

But Lucius never looked back, but continued to ask, "Do you believe in the gods here?"

Shabaja was about to speak, but heard Lucius say again, "I hope you can tell the truth this time." ”

Shabaja, who opened his mouth, was stunned when he heard this, stood there silent for a moment, and finally replied, as if he had made up his mind, "I don't believe it." ”

"Hahahaha......" Lucius laughed when he heard this, and laughed on his back at the garden in front of him.

The laughter was like a mockery of the gods in the garden, echoing outside the peaceful garden, and it was very harsh.

Shabaja saw Lucius standing in front of the Garden of the Gods laughing, but he didn't understand what Lucius meant, but he didn't dare to ask more.

After a long time, Lucius spoke, "Come here, Shabaja." ”

Shabaja was stunned for a moment, standing still and not moving, but Beluti immediately urged: "Let you come, didn't you hear? Hmph, what? You still plan to disobey us?"

Hearing Beluti's shouting, Shabaja naturally didn't dare to say much, so he quickly stopped walking to Lucius's side.

And handed the cloth bag containing the gold in his bosom to Lucius: "My lord, this, this is your gold coin." ”

Lucius did not take the sack, but turned to look at Shabaja and said, "You put away the gold coins, you deserve it." ”

Without giving Shabaja a chance to speak, Lucius turned to hand him the scimitar in his hand: "Take this scimitar and lead us into the garden, I want you to open the way for me." (To be continued......)
