Chapter 305: Initial Trust
"You're looking for a magic hedron in this ruin, are you sure you can find it?" Lucius was surprised to hear the boy's answer.
Glancing at the ruins not far away, it is not difficult to see that the ruins must have been a large-scale city in the past, but now they have been dilapidated and abandoned for a long time, can the magic energy spar be found under such ruins? Lucius had deep doubts in his heart, he felt that even if he could recruit it, he was afraid that the magic energy would have been exhausted long ago.
But the boy disagreed with Lecius's statement, and he said very unwillingly: "Yes, Jack found it under a ruin before, and it was because he found that magic energy crystal that his machine was evolved." β
The reluctance and stubbornness on the boy's face touched Lucius, and he vaguely seemed to see himself a long time ago, when he was so stubborn and insisted on doing something that seemed stupid.
Thinking of this, Lucius smiled and said to the boy, "I have a magic hedron there, and I can help you transform your machine, how about it? Why don't you go with me to see it? Maybe I can make your machine surpass the machine you call Jack." β
"Really, you, do you really have a magic crystal? You also transform machinery? Didn't you lie to me?" The boy was obviously attracted by Lucius's words, and he no longer even doubted Lucius's identity.
Seeing this, Lucius smiled and pointed to the robot beside him and said, "Look, they are all transformed by me, and they all have magic energy crystals in their bodies to provide power. β
"Alright, let's go, you give me the magic crystal, help me transform the machine, I must surpass Jack, and prove to those people that my machine is the strongest." β
The three guys sitting in the cab couldn't help but sigh when they saw the boy who was already dancing excitedly outside: "Well, what a naΓ―ve child. It was so easy to be deceived by Lucius, and it seems that he will soon follow Lucius into the car, but the little guy is really cute. β
As soon as Augustine finished speaking, Lucius had already negotiated with the boy and led him to the inside of the huge steam locomotive, while the robots carried the maintenance machine.
The boy excitedly followed behind Lucius, chattering all the way into the steam locomotive, and saw that the entire locomotive was full of various mechanical devices, and the boy immediately felt overwhelmed.
And after glancing around, he looked at Lucius and said even more excitedly, "Wow." Wow, this, is this the legendary large steam locomotive? The locomotive has eighteen exhaust holes, and when it starts, eighteen of them can start and work together, which can provide strong power to the locomotive, so how many magic crystals does it take for such a steam locomotive to run?"
As soon as the boy finished speaking, he heard a voice answer him: "Not much." It's only one piece per engine, a total of eighteen pieces, but you need to reserve some spare. β
"Wow, it's only eighteen dollars. Doesn't that mean that this steam locomotive has a high utilization rate of magic energy? There is a similar steam locomotive in the port, but unfortunately there is not enough magic energy spar to drive it, listen to my father. The one in the harbor also has eighteen engines, but it requires as many as fifty-four magic energy crystals. β
After speaking. The boy suddenly realized that the voice just now did not seem to be the figure of Lucius who had brought him in, and immediately turned his head to follow the voice.
Just when I saw Belletti, Oguferdin, and Mogupatin, and saw the metal bodies and faces of the three guys, the boy suddenly woke up like a cave in the ice.
Turning his head to look at Lucius, he pointed at Lucius in horror and said: "You, you lie to me, you are the aggressor, my father once said that the machines around the aggressors are able to think independently, and can speak by themselves like people, and can communicate with people, he, they are the kind of machines, you are the aggressors." β
Seeing the boy's somewhat flustered look, Lucius hurriedly reassured: "Don't, don't get excited, we are really not invaders, and they are not those mechanical demons in the mechanical castle, we are ......"
But before Lucius could finish speaking, the boy suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed at Lucius without hesitation, as if he was planning to die with Lucius.
The boy's appearance was completely unexpected by Lecius, he almost dodged sideways, let the dagger pass the stabbing one, and at the same time did not want to hurt the boy, and finally could only meet the dagger with the metal box at his waist, and at the same time open his hand and bend down to protect the boy from behind, clamping the boy under his armpit.
"Ah...... Let go of me, let go of me, you damned invaders, I, I'm going to fight with you, I'm going to die with you. β
The boy kept struggling under Lucius's armpits, and smashed the metal box around Lucius's waist with his dagger without using his dagger, as if he was going to die with Lucius.
Seeing this, Lucius held the boy down and began to think about how to calm the other person down.
However, before Lucius could think of a way, the armpit boy suddenly stopped struggling, and did not try to stab Lucius with a dagger again, but was a little quiet and was caught under Lucius's armpit, which surprised Lucius, and at the same time Beludi had already rushed over.
Seeing that Belletti was about to make a move on the boy, but was stopped by Lucius, who carefully put the boy down, Lucius took two steps back and looked at the boy with some doubts.
But to Lucius's surprise, the boy stared at the metal box around his waist.
Without waiting for Lecius to ask, the boy stretched out his hand and pointed to the metal box and said, "I, I recognize, that, that shamrock sign, my father said, that is, the sign of the former owner of this land, and the one who can really save us, and when that sign appears again, we will no longer be afraid of those invaders." β
Listening to the boy's words, Lucius looked down at the metal box on his waist, looked at the clover on the keyhole of the box, and asked the boy in some surprise: "You, have you really seen a clover?"
The boy nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, because the steam locomotive in the harbor has this shamrock logo on the door." β
Then the boy continued: "The people in the harbor often say that we were once the masters of the mechanical castle, and that we were once the most powerful men in this plain, and that when the invaders appeared and defeated the kingdom established by our ancestors, we were sent to the western ports as criminals. β
Hearing this, Lucius looked at each other with Belletti, Augustine, and Mogupatin, and everyone had a look of shock on their faces.
From the boy's words, it can be determined that Lucius and Beluti were correct in their previous guesses, and the boy in front of them is indeed the descendant of the so-called criminals who were sent to the western ports by the mechanical castle.
Now it seems that the mechanical castle later had no time to ask about the affairs of the west, and those criminals finally succeeded in getting rid of the shackles, but they did not dare to challenge the mechanical castle, so they lived in the ports on the western coast, relying on some resources of the sea and grassland, surviving and reproducing.
It is hard to imagine how those so-called sinners can survive in such a vicious environment in the western part of the plains, especially how to get rid of the control of the robot and the shackles of the mechanical castle?
This qiΔ made Lucius and the others puzzled, after all, according to Mogupatin, when the mechanical castle sent those criminals to the west, it also sent guards, and put some devices on the criminals.
After thinking for a moment, Lucius asked the boy, "I don't know what your name is?"
"My name is Morey. The boy said and saluted Lecius solemnly, "Big brother, are you really from the Clover Kingdom?
Hearing Morey's inquiry, Lucius was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, of course I am from the Shamrock family, otherwise how could I have this metal box?"
And before Morey could rejoice, Lucius continued: "But you say let me save you?
Morey was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time, he said to Lucius and the others: "By the way, let's hurry up, go, go to the port, go to the port to see my elders, you will understand, hurry, hurry, let's go quickly, father They have been waiting for a long time." β
Seeing that the boy Morey was agitated and urging, Lucius glanced at Belletti, Oguferdin, and Mogupatin, but hesitated to ask for the opinions of the three of them.
Augustine and Mogupatin also looked solemn, not knowing what to do, but Beludi quickly made up her mind, and said to Lucius, "We have to go to the port after all, and since he is our guide, we can go faster, so let's go with him." β
Hearing this, Lucius nodded and said, "Okay, Mogupatin, you send someone to inform Palupu and them, and when we get to the place, let them come and join us quickly." β
After the instructions, Lucius smiled at Morey and nodded: "Okay, since you insist, then let's hurry up and get on the road, follow me, I need you to show me the direction." β
Morey looked at Lucius in surprise, unable to believe his ears, he understood the meaning of Lucius's invitation, which meant that he had the opportunity to step into the wheelhouse, into the cab of a steam locomotive, one as big as the one in the port, but more high-end in the cab.
Surprised, Morey, barely hesitated, and quickly followed behind Lucius, excitedly gearing up towards the cab.
When Lucius led Morey away, Belletti looked at Augustine and Morgupatine, "What do you two think?
"I think I can trust him, he's still a kid after all, and according to what he said, it's almost exactly what Mogupatin said before," said Ogupatin. β
"I reserve my opinion, I think it's better to be careful, after all, the western part of the plains is a place where the criminals of the past stayed, and no one knows whether those criminals are good or bad, and the people who were sent by the mechanical castle in the first place are not all those rebels of the Clover family, some of them should be really vicious. β
Mogupatin was obviously reserved and did not trust the boy, and after listening to him and Oguferdin, Belletti lowered her head and was silent for a moment, "Let's go according to the original plan first, but we also need to prepare." (To be continued......)
