16. It's Magical (Part 2)
"The life of the nation, why do you say that?" Lu Cheng asked.
Elena raised her left hand and showed Lu Cheng the fiery red crystal on the back of her hand.
"In this world, the capital of every country is built at the heart of the leyline crystals, and it is the energy of these crystals that gives birth to all of us."
"What do you mean... Magic? ”
Lu Cheng stared at the fiery red crystal on the back of Elena's hand, and Lu Cheng could feel that there was a special energy contained in it.
"It's not magic, it's the leyline core itself, without the core of the leyline crystal, this land will be completely barren, and our people will be extinct due to disease and physical weakness, so they will lose the core of the leyline crystal... For us, there is no difference between the dead country. Elena plucked up the courage to tell it all.
"We don't need your core, we just need to borrow the energy from the leyline crystals, which means that only the fragments are enough, and it should not affect your country's territory.
Lu Cheng said this, and turned the leyline crystal fragment in his hand.
"Of course, if you don't want to, we won't force it, after all, we have enough time to find the leyline crystals in this world where no one belongs."
Lu Cheng accentuated the pronunciation of the word, and Elena was completely stunned for a moment, she clenched the back of her hand and looked at the firewood that was gradually burned to ashes by the flames, and her hand couldn't help but start to tremble.
Elena wasn't stupid, she knew exactly what Lucheng was reminding her.
The kingdom of Scarley has not been able to hold out for long under the invasion of the Bloodcrystal, and several of her brothers have died in the battle against the Bloodcrystal, and countless civilians have died in the mouths of those monsters.
All Elena saw as she walked through was the corpses of the people and the smell of rotting corpses, which she could not bear.
It was only a matter of time before her country was destroyed by the Bloodcrystal Unless... Find reinforcements.
Elena clutched a ring on her left hand, as if she remembered something, she finally made up her mind, and the moment she raised her head, her vermilion pupils stared at Lu Cheng.
"It's just that if you want a fragment, there's no problem, I have a fragment of leyline crystals here, is there enough magic stored in it for you to use?" Elena pulled out a fragment that she had with her.
"Unfortunately, it's not enough."
Lu Cheng stared at the leyline crystal fragment in Elena's hand, which was only the length of his index finger, and the leyline fragment that Noi handed over to Lu Cheng was about four times the size of this one.
"If I want more, I can only go to the holy place where the core of the leyline crystal is located, which is only my father... Only the rulers of Scarreh had the right to enter the place. Elena thought for a moment and said, "I'll definitely find a way to convince my father!" ”
"Reinforcements? Perhaps this is the only hope, Lord Lucheng, and I beg you to let me... Witness the power of the gun weapon once more. General Hubert said from the sidelines.
General Hubert, as an insider, knew what the princess Elena meant by 'persuasion'.
He was the king's swordsmanship, and it was no exaggeration to say that General Hubert was... She was probably the best of all her siblings.
It was only because of her mother that the king had been reluctant to include her in the army.
If it weren't for the fact that all of Scarley's young males were dead, she wouldn't have been sent to this frontier.
Moreover, since His Majesty's sons were killed in battle under the attack of the Blood Crystal Beast, the spirit of the King himself has also been greatly affected, and the whole person seems crazy.
In addition, this princess doesn't like her father very much, and she can even be said to hate it... Therefore, General Hubert thought that the 'persuasion' in the mouth of the princess Elena could not be understood in a verbal sense.
However, the appearance of the Lucheng team gave Hubert a glimpse of the country's hope, and he just wanted to confirm it again with his eyes now.
"Show, that's fine, in exchange, I want to see what the world's offensive magic looks like." Lu Cheng said.
"I'll have some offensive magic, but how do I show it?"
Elena, like Hubert, wanted to see for herself how the weapon called the 'gun' in Lu Cheng's hand was used, including its power.
"Your Highness Elena, use my shield as a target."
Hubert picked up a round shield made of steel from the ground, with a deep scratch on the surface of the shield, apparently having fended off a deadly attack on its owner's behalf.
Elena nodded, watching as Hubert placed the shield on one of the walls of the church.
"Your Excellency Lu Cheng, please step back a bit." Elena said to Lu Cheng beside her.
Lu Cheng did as Elena said, and led his team to give up enough distance.
"Who's holding the VCR?" Lu Cheng turned his head and asked the members of his team in Chinese.
"I've been recording since I started."
The pictorial was holding a hand-held video camera, and she had been recording the conversation between Lu Cheng and Elena from just now.
Although the conversation was in an otherworldly language, the tape is still monumental and research-oriented.
After all, it was the first time to engage in diplomacy with a country from another world.
And now the pictorial wants to record the existence of another world, showing their abilities that are completely different from those of the earthlings.
Elena stood in the middle of the ruins, staring at the iron shield not far away, and she raised her left hand.
The crimson crystal on the back of her left hand bloomed with a faint glow, and as the light overflowed, a special pattern appeared on Elena's arm.
The people of Lucheng remember this world call this pattern an inscription.
A small flame suddenly appeared in Elena's hand, and as a special energy gathered, the flame began to gradually expand into a fist-sized fireball.
"It's... How does this work? ”
Kite couldn't help but whisper, although he had already seen Noi's hand holding light, Elena holding Thunder looked more shocking.
The pictorial made a direct booing motion, and the kite closed its mouth and did not ask any more questions.
Elena seemed to have some trouble controlling the flames, her raised arm trembling slightly, but as she muttered something, the flames gathered larger and larger.
It eventually expanded into a fireball half a meter in diameter.
Elena couldn't sustain such a huge fireball any longer, and with a powerful swing of her left hand, the huge fireball was thrown directly at the shield on the wall.
The fireball splashed the moment it hit the shield, and the explosion that Lucheng had expected did not materialize.
It was just a flame that burst out on the shield, and a few flames fell on the rotten wood in the ruins, but the wood was too damp to burn.
After Elena cast the magic, she put her hands on her knees and took a deep breath.
"How's it going, Lord Lu Cheng." After adjusting her breathing, she said to Lu Cheng in a show-off tone.
"It's amazing... But if you consider lethality, why would you pinch such a big fireball? ”
Lu Cheng politely applauded Elena's performance, but also questioned Elena's attack.
"Because the fire elemental gathers enough and causes more damage." Elena said in a tone of course.
"Uh... Can't you make that fireball explode or something? ”
Lu Cheng looked at the shield with some scorched black marks on the surface, although the fireball just now looked terrifying, but the lethality was not satisfactory.
The person who is hit may only have some burns on his body.
"Explosion?"
"Forget it... I'm going to see what the damage is. ”
Lu Cheng didn't know anything about the magic of this world, and he couldn't teach her anything scientific about it on the basis of magic.
