85. Reliable adult male (ask for recommendations!) )
The tail feathers of the crystallized spirit resting on top of Elena's head emitted a dim glow, and Elena's hands clenched on her knees, looking a little nervous.
"Then the first question, has Elena done anything bad before?"
As soon as Lu Cheng came up, he asked a question that could make everyone's whole body tense.
"Let me see." The light emitted from the tail feathers of the Crystal Spirit became brighter and brighter, "Do you mean something that will make Elena, the child, feel guilty in her heart?" ”
"Is it based on the emotions of memory?"
Lu Cheng received a lot of information from the words of the Crystal Spirit, and the Crystal Spirit's memory ability can not only find Elena's past memories, but also Elena's thoughts on this memory.
This is indeed a good way to pinpoint some crimes, but there are people in the world who don't know anything about their mistakes.
"At the same time, it also includes the two categories of forcibly taking possession of other people's property and illegally taking the lives of others, as well as bullying the weak." Lu Cheng added one or two more conditions.
At this moment, Lu Cheng seemed to have become a ruthless law enforcement officer.
"I... I haven't done any of these things. Elena whispered to Lu Cheng.
"Elena's words are true, just bullying the weak, she did it once when she was ten years old." The Crystal Spirit narrowed its eyes as if reading Elena's memories, and when it opened again, it told Lu Cheng the details, "In the second month of Elena's ten-year-old, her brother Kanther was beaten by Elena for insulting her mother, and he was severely injured on his face. ”
"At the time... At that time..."
When Elena heard the words of the crystal spirit, she wanted to say something to justify, but she didn't know how to quibble after thinking about it for a long time, judging from Elena's expression, maybe the girl was about to cry in the next second.
"This isn't bullying the weak, it's purely that guy's own doing, what about the others?" Lu Cheng continued to ask.
"At the age of seven and in the third month, I broke my mother's vase and secretly hid the fragments of the vase." The Crystallized Spirit said another inconsequential thing.
"That thing?! I forgot! ”
Elena heard the Crystal Spirit mention this incident, and the memory of this incident became clear again, but at the same time, without the need for the Crystal Spirit to remind her, Lu Cheng could feel Elena's mood become a little sad.
"No, is there anything worse?"
Lu Cheng directly waved his hand to let the Crystal Spirit skip some of the small mistakes made by Elena in her childhood, but after skipping those stupid things in her childhood, the Crystal Spirit could only shake her head helplessly.
"No, Elena hasn't done anything you would call illegal since she grew up."
The Crystallized Spirit's knowledge of the laws of the earth was derived from Elena's memories, and its comprehension was far beyond Elena's, so after searching Elena's memories, it did not find a corresponding event.
"A good law-abiding citizen?"
Lu Cheng is still skeptical of the words of the Crystal Spirit, but after spending more than half a month with Elena, Lu Cheng can see what kind of character this girl has.
"And next question, what does Elena think of us?"
After Lu Cheng knew that this crystallized spirit could read minds, he didn't have any intention of hiding his thoughts, and directly asked the questions he wanted to know very bluntly.
"What do you think of Your Excellency Lu Cheng?" The Crystal Spirit seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of Lu Cheng at this time, and it closed its eyes again to carefully feel the fluctuations in Elena's heart, "In the eyes of this child, you seem to be a man who can be relied on with confidence, and the emotion you are currently showing is a kind of dependence, similar to the dependence of offspring on their father, but this emotion has some special feelings in it, a bit like ......"
"Don't say any more!"
At this time, Elena directly hugged the crystallized spirit with both hands, and then took it off her head.
Lu Cheng watched as Elena's cheeks turned red at a rate visible to the naked eye, and this crimson color spread all the way to the base of her ears.
At this moment, Lu Cheng was very glad that he didn't drink water just now, otherwise he would be so surprised that he would have squirted out.
"Ahem... Let's change the subject. Lu Cheng knew very well that he couldn't continue on this topic, or Elena might faint with shame.
"Captain, it's time for the royal city of Scarley."
At this time, the driving hoop stood up and resolved the embarrassing atmosphere in the car.
"The whole team is on alert, they are about to enter the combat area, please reply if you receive it."
Lu Cheng also took out the radio and gave an order to the entire convoy, and after the order was deployed, Lu Cheng once again looked at Elena.
Elena tried to avoid Lu Cheng's gaze this time, but there was only a little space in the car, and she could only pluck the feathers of the Crystal Spirit at a loss.
"I'll repeat your plan again, it's not a plan."
Lu Cheng's feelings for Elena are somewhat similar to those of a junior at work, but now is not the time to talk about it.
"I'll send a team to protect your safety, but it's up to you how you solve this matter when you get home, and I've already reminded you of how to deal with it, and it's up to you how to do it... Talent and luck too. Lu Cheng's words were also addressed to General Hubert.
Elena stopped plucking the Crystallized Spirit and nodded as if she had come to some kind of realization.
………………
Nancy followed her father into the court of Scarlet, and as she expected, there was no sign of Elena the current queen of Scarlet.
"Your Majesty! We are really surprised to see you here. ”
It was not Mera, the acting ruler, who came to greet Maurice, but the patriarch of the Black Flame Crystal family, who seemed to be a shrewd and capable middle-aged man, who walked up enthusiastically as soon as he saw Maurice III.
"What about your king?"
Maurice III glanced around at the main hall of Scalley, which he had last visited six years ago, and whose town was now dilapidated enough to be described as dead silent, but still as splendid as it had been six years earlier.
"Your Majesty he has died, and a princess has suddenly killed him with a foreign army, and now the country has no energy to support a new king." The patriarch of the Black Flame Crystal family said to Maurice III in a tentative tone, "Your Majesty, Maurice, you may be able to save the people of this country, and there are many untapped minerals in this country, maybe we can do you a small favor." ”
The meaning of the patriarch of the Black Flame Crystal family is already obvious here, Maurice III, as the king of a neighboring country, deliberately came here when Scarre was in decline, and it is very likely that he wants to completely annex Scarlet.
In this case, the nobles had only one choice to make, and that was to swear allegiance to the new king!
Nancy turned her gaze to her father, who did not think that it was the right choice to annex Scarré now, and Maurice III's opinion on the matter...
"Want to sell your country to another country? You unfaithful! Quisling! "Maurice III said something that he should never have said in his position.
