38. Clean
"Elena, you're finally back..."
The old king of Scalley sat on his throne and watched in surprise at Elena's return.
He was already seriously ill, and Elena's return alive meant that she had brought a soul priest who could heal him!
"What about the priest?"
The old king stood up excitedly with his wine glass, looking around for the figure of the soul priest, and finally he looked at Lu Cheng.
"Father!"
Elena interrupted the old king's shouting loudly, and she slammed her hands on the long table full of food, staring at the old king with angry eyes.
"What the hell are you doing? The soldiers of Scarley are fighting with the Blood Crystal ** outside, and I don't know how many people have been killed by those monsters... But here you are..."
Elena was already so angry that she was losing her mind.
"Elena, how could the Blood Crystal Beast break through the barrier, it's absolutely safe here." The old king also raised his voice and scolded Elena.
"Your Highness Elena, why don't you fight those Blood Crystal Beasts if you are so powerful?"
Suddenly, a nobleman in the crowd uttered a voice that bordered on mockery.
Elena, who may have been hiding in the castle in their eyes, is just as much a coward as they are.
"I've got reinforcements." Elena's words made the mocking voice stop instantly, "This is Lord Lu Cheng, he is an envoy from a powerful country, and this country has come to our aid. ”
Lu Cheng didn't say anything, just kept observing his surroundings while quietly waiting for the king's reaction.
"Reinforcements, what do you want?"
The old king frowned and looked Lu Cheng up and down, his expression was enough to explain... He's sane now.
"Fragments of leyline crystallization."
Elena gave everyone an answer on behalf of Lu Cheng, but the moment this answer appeared, there was an uproar around them.
"Elena... On your knees. ”
The old king was instantly enraged by Elena's answer, and the moment he shouted, Lu Cheng saw Elena's knees curl down uncontrollably, as if she was about to fall to the ground.
But Elena held on, her hands clenched tightly around the edge of the wooden table, so strong that the edge of the wooden table broke apart.
Magic? Lu Cheng could feel that Elena was clearly limited by a powerful force.
"You should know the importance of leyline crystallization, and at such a juncture, you actually colluded with a liar to deceive the state of the holy relics?"
The old king scolded Elena in a deep voice, and the weight on Elena increased again, but she still held on, and walked slowly towards the old king on the throne with one hand supporting the wooden table.
"I'm not lying..."
With every step Elena took, Lu Cheng could even see a crack in the ground, and she was carrying a huge weight.
"Don't go any further!"
Anger was accumulating in the old king's voice, and Elena struggled to the front of the throne under the gaze of the nobles, but she was blocked by a transparent wall.
Elena was stunned for a moment, then reached out with difficulty to touch the surface of the wall, which was the same magical product as the enchantment outside.
"Your actions have angered me, Elena, this is my country!"
As soon as the old king's words fell, Elena fell directly to her knees, and the moment she knelt on the ground, the bricks on the ground shattered, and Lu Cheng could see the blood spilling from her knees.
According to the rules, Lu Cheng should not meddle in the matter between them, but now Lu Cheng does not plan to interfere, but... Lu Cheng can give a small gift to this princess.
"Semi-automatic pistols of the QSZ type, five .5 mm caliber, produced in the North." Lu Cheng finally spoke up at this moment.
All eyes are on Lu Cheng, including Elena... Her eyes widened in surprise as Lu Cheng took out a handful of pitch-black items from behind her.
Elena knew it, and Lucheng called it a 'pistol'.
"Haven't you always wanted to use this to give it a try?" Lu Cheng looked at Elena who was half-kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, and directly loaded the pistol in his hand, "How to use it, you can see it." ”
"Open the safe, load, aim, pull the trigger, shoot."
Lu Cheng directly made a standard aiming stance, and after doing this, Lu Cheng walked in front of Elena, who was half-kneeling on the ground.
"I've opened the insurance for you, I've already loaded the bullets for you, I've helped you get the gun on it, all you have left is to aim and pull the trigger."
Lu Cheng looked at the princess in front of him with a surprised expression on her face, and the surprise on Elena's face gradually turned into a kind of determination.
She trembled and took the pistol from Lu Cheng's hand, and the temperature of Lu Cheng's fingertips still remained on the handle of the pistol.
Elena struggled to her feet from the ground, grabbed her pistol in both hands and aimed it at the throne in the distance.
"You... What are you doing! ”
The old king didn't know what Elena was holding in his hands, but he instinctively sensed danger.
Elena didn't give the other party an answer, she directly pulled the trigger in her hand, and a huge recoil came from her arm... It made her feel the power of this weapon called a pistol.
The bullet came out of its chamber directly, penetrating through the transparent magic barrier, and shot at the glass on the old king's side, and the glass instantly shattered into residue.
The sound of gunfire echoed through the hall.
A huge crack appeared in the magical barrier, but it was still slowly repairing and not completely disappearing.
"You can't do that, this is my country! My territory! ”
The old king was frightened and kept shouting at Elena.
But Elena didn't stop ... She pulled the trigger a second time, and the bullet instantly tore a gap in the magical barrier, hitting the window on the other side of the old king, and the entire magical barrier crumbled.
"This is my country, and I will not allow anyone to be presumptuous here," cried the old king incessantly.
But there was no longer any heavy feeling in Elena, and this time Elena's gun was aimed at the crown on the old king's head.
"Elena!" The old king sensed the danger and cried out hoarsely.
"I'm going to save my people."
Elena whispered this, and finally pulled the trigger, and the bullet burst out of the muzzle, hitting the crown on the old king's forehead with precision.
The crown, made of various jewels and diamonds, shattered in half and fell to the ground, and the magic barrier was completely torn apart and disappeared.
After doing all this, Elena returned the pistol to Lu Cheng, and she slowly walked to the throne.
"My crown!" The old king fell to his knees, trying to pick up the jewels and shards scattered from the crown, "I am the ruler of Scarley, and you must obey... Obey me..."
Elena punched the guy in front of him on the cheek, and his body flew backwards and slammed into the throne, which instantly shattered into pieces.
Also in pieces was the Holy Crystal on the back of the old king's hand.
The moment the Holy Crystal on the back of the old king's hand shattered, the Holy Crystal on Elena's hand suddenly appeared with the mark of a four-winged eagle.
This also means that the core of the Scarray leyline has chosen her.
"Take me to the heart of the leylines!"
Elena turned around and gave an order to a man dressed as a priest in the court.
