In fact, the hundred gold coins spent by the Lord of Mengli City were well spent. He got four valuable secrets from the tavern. On the one hand, it showed that he hid dangers and hidden wealth in the archipelago, and the sacred circle was the greatest security after all. On the other hand, he also learned about the future fate of Fortune Island's eventual disintegration. But apart from the above secrets, in the view of Lord Mengli, the most helpful thing for his practical actions is the issue about the portal.
After telling his subordinates these thoughts, he frowned and sighed: "It is said that the two-way portal is dangerous. We must remember in the next expedition. Don't make the usual mistakes when going there. Just look for the one-way portal." Just the door.¡±
It was at this time that Lucifer returned to the team in time as if he could figure things out. His expression was a little heavy. Before the Lord of Mengli City could speak, he first said: "This island should be abandoned. If we insist on it, To conquer this place, it is better to just leave with gold coins and resources, and do not build any stronghold here, that is, do not invest capital."
Kasery was about to say something when the Lord of Mengli City responded first: "Lucifer, why are you so serious? What did you find? Our journey has been smooth, but you didn't meet us on time?
"I'm not kidding." Lucifer had never been so serious. After scanning around, he stared at the Lord Mengli and said, "You don't have to play riddles with me. I've also seen the fortifications on the North Island. You must have seen them." Things that shouldn't be seen You and I know it very well, it's a huge hidden danger that will eventually threaten the entire island, I think you should be very clear about it."
"Since you said so, I won't hide it." Lord Mengli also stopped smiling and replied seriously, "There is an extremely powerful mysterious power hidden in the sacred circle. I cannot define this power based on my ability and experience. For The Holy Circle, I am powerless, because I can neither destroy it nor explore its secrets, so I can only build fortifications to mark the danger zone Lucifer, there is only so much I can do, but I want to announce that Fortune Island I will never give up. If you still persuade me to give up Fortune Island and still talk about topics like this, it really doesn¡¯t make any sense.¡±
"Listen." Lucifer took a step forward and looked at the magician with disappointment, "I am not opposed to collecting the resources here every once in a while, nor am I opposed to leaving the gold and diamond men to look after this island for us. , but I discovered that you intend to build a castle here, and the work has already begun I must advise you to give up risky investments, otherwise you will only lose more than you gain."
"Lucifer, let's talk about the Sacred Circle." Lord Mengli immediately changed the subject, because he had already made up his mind to build the castle, which would never be changed. "What did you find there? With your strength There must be more secrets than me."
"That's natural." Lucifer snorted dissatisfied, and then continued, "You must have walked around the sacred circle and finally walked away helplessly?"
¡°I¡¯m not afraid of your jokes, it¡¯s like this. There are invisible barriers around the sacred circle, and¡± the Lord of Mengli City then told Lucifer all the bizarre things he encountered along the way.
"This island contains such a powerful power, which is beyond our imagination. I conclude that given time, this power will explode. By then, the castle you built can only be destroyed, which is really self-defeating. Bitter pill?? I did explore more secrets than you. I once broke through the thick fog and proudly glimpsed the scene inside, which was all blazing blue flames!"
Lucifer really couldn't suppress his excitement. He continued: "With my ability, I can only explore this level. As for more secrets, I don't have the ability to explore Think about it, how terrible this is." A terrible threat. No one knows what will happen to your so-called 'Holy Circle' in the near future! Besides, can we connect so many manufacturing factories on the island to the Holy Circle? If you are willing If you use your brain, you don¡¯t need me to waste words here.¡±
Although everything Lucifer said was reasonable, the Lord of Mengli City couldn't help but shuddered after hearing the "Blue Flame", but he believed that the dignity of Mengli City should not be trampled on, and at worst, the problem would be solved by force, no matter whether he won or lost. The order to build New Bracada was withdrawn.
"Lucifer, I fully understand what you mean, but the secret of Fortune Island has both advantages and disadvantages? There are huge secrets hidden in the sacred circle. On the one hand, it is a threat to us, but on the other hand, it only belongs to us. A secret like this, isn¡¯t such a big secret worth spending some of our capital to keep? Anyway, I¡¯d rather take the risk than give up.¡±
"Okay, whatever you want." Lucifer paused for a while, looking to the west, "I think you want to explore the Western Islands, so let's go!"
With Lucifer¡¯s help, Lord Mengli¡¯sHe became more confident and told Lucifer all the secrets he learned from the tavern along the way. After discussion, the two agreed to look for the one-way portal first.
Dozens of small islands are walking in the sea in no order. The Lord of Mengli City finally found a miniature island that is only the size of a basketball court. There is a one-way portal there.
However, at the critical moment, members of the direct team became suspicious, making the Lord of Mengli City hesitant.
"If you don't have the courage, I will go there first. If you don't see me back in ten minutes, you can leave here and go to Black Dragon Island."
"Don't worry, Lucifer!" The Lord of Mengli City directly expressed his doubts, "One hundred gold coins bought four secrets, how much do you think there is in them? If the tavern owner intends to deceive me, we are not serious. Are you fooled?"
"You don't have to worry about my safety. At worst, you can use the time restricted area to escape. Only Michael's four-sided barrier can trap me." After Lucifer finished speaking, he ducked into the portal.
Ten minutes have passed, and Lucifer has not returned. The owner of Mengli City was worried and began to curse the wife of the boss, and then said to his subordinates: "Wait another ten minutes, if Lucifer does not return, we can only go back to Black Dragon Island."
"No need to wait, I'm back!"
When I looked up, Lucifer was fifty meters above my head.
¡°What¡¯s going on??¡±
"Look at the portal in front of you. Is there any flash of light?"
When the Lord of Mengli City touched the portal, he was a little desperate. This one-way portal had been abandoned, with only a door frame standing there alone.
Helpless, the Lord of Mengli City could only fly into the air with his subordinates, but he received another depressing news from Lucifer - another portal was abandoned.
"I came out of the portal on another small island. The two portals were abandoned when I entered and exited." Lucifer shrugged helplessly.
"What did you see over there?"
¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s also a small island, and it also has a portal, which is also one-way.¡±
"Sure enough, I was cheated!" Mengli City Lord roared angrily, and then went back to find the boss's wife to settle the score.
"Wait a minute, are you sure you've been cheated? The tavern owner said, 'Don't enter the two-way portal,' which means that the one-way portal is not dangerous. Moreover, this is the fact. I returned safely."
"Lucifer, what do you mean?"
"Ha, you really heard it?? What I mean is that in order to explore the secret, you must enter the two-way portal."
"This is too dangerous, no? Let me think about it. Let's not enter the two-way portal until all hope is lost."
The Lord of Mengli City then searched for the one-way portals one by one. In just a quarter of an hour, he had already destroyed a total of twenty one-way portals, but he still refused to give up.
After finding a nearby one-way portal, he rushed in without hesitation. However, after wandering around for a long time, he could not find the portal to return and could not leave the strange world.
Because the Lord of Mengli City made a huge mistake, that is, he did not count the number of individual portals in advance, which resulted in no return. The total number of individual portals in the Western Islands is exactly an odd number of twenty-one!
