20. Life talks

While Lu Cheng was collecting samples of the bones of these Blood Crystal Beasts, Elena also quietly walked out of the ruins of the church.

"Do people in your country have a tradition of peeking at others?"

Lu Cheng didn't wait for Elena to get close enough to notice her presence, but Lu Cheng didn't look up and was still busy putting some of the Blood Crystal Beast's bones into the evidence bag.

"Of course not! I wanted to come and say hello to you. Elena said.

"Oh."

Lu Cheng replied simply and didn't pay attention to Elena anymore, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence for a while.

"Is that story you told you true?"

Elena slowly came to Lu Cheng's side, and couldn't help but ask this question.

"You're listening, too? Well, it's a shame that's just a story. ”

Lu Cheng sealed the evidence bag in his hand and stood up, staring at the princess who seemed to want to say something.

"In our legends from the past, there are also such heroes who can soar in the sky and gallop in the sea." Elena said.

"In a legend from afar? There is no need to be in the legends, we have now conquered the sky and the sea, and although the sea occasionally gets angry or something, it still does not have much impact on our country. Lu Cheng said.

"Conquer the sky and the sea? How do you do that? ”

Elena had too much curiosity about the far-flung country where Lucheng was located, and the destructive power of the guns was beyond her imagination.

"If our collaboration continues, you'll see you one day, Miss Elena."

Lu Cheng said that when he came here, he looked at the ruins of the church, and there was no figure of the old general at the door of the ruins, and it was obvious that the princess Elena had escaped from it.

This is just enough for Lu Cheng to find out some information about her.

"And Miss Elena, I remember your identity as the seventeenth princess of Scarley?"

Lu Cheng began to gradually shift the focus of the conversation to what he wanted to know.

"Seventeenth in line to the throne, there are fourteen brothers and two sisters above me, and three sisters below me."

Elena has already regarded Lu Cheng as a very important person, so whatever questions Lu Cheng asks, she will tell Lu Cheng very directly.

A full twenty children? Your dad can still give birth!

Lu Cheng silently complained in his heart.

"It's a big family, but you don't seem to like your siblings?"

Lu Cheng could tell that the expression on Elena's face was not pleasant when she mentioned her family.

"My brothers all died in the battle of the Blood Crystal Beast, and there is nothing to like or dislike." Elena immediately denied Lu Cheng's statement, "It's just that my relationship with my father is not good. ”

"Emotional disputes between royal families? A somewhat familiar plot, Miss Elena, although presumptuous, I must know something about it. Lu Cheng said to Elena in a diplomatic tone, "Your relationship with your father determines the specific plan of our operation. ”

"Hmm... In fact, this is not a hidden story in our country. Elena said.

"Please tell your story."

Lu Cheng almost moved a small bench to listen to the story with a hand of melon seeds, but Lu Cheng was really serious about making the next plan from the relationship between Elena and her father.

Elena organized the language and told a story that wasn't too long.

This story of royal disputes begins with her mother.

Her mother's identity is a little different from what Lu Cheng imagined, she is not a commoner, but a woman from an orthodox aristocratic background.

Ever since the king married Elena's mother, Elena's mother has been helping to run the country.

She has shown far more than ordinary abilities in this regard, and Goo Elena describes her mother's co-government period as one of Scarley's most prosperous periods.

Elena's mother was also loved by the people.

But because Elena's mother was loved more and more by the people, her power became greater and greater, to the point that even the king was afraid of it.

Finally, a serious illness completely destroys the scales, which have long been out of balance... Her mother had been bedridden since that day.

But during her serious illness, Elena's mother did not receive the care she deserved, but was ostracized by many in the court.

Elena's life when she was young was not very good, although she did not live on the streets, but she was also the type of ostracized in the court.

But because Elena is so good at fighting, and can even beat the eldest brother down, the people in the court can only choose to isolate Elena.

"No wonder you're sent to such a dangerous border."

After hearing this, Lu Cheng understood the reason why he met Elena here.

Elena's luck was a little worse, Lu Cheng's first visit was to another country in this world, and she was estimated to be the next meal for these Blood Crystal Beasts today.

She fell silent again after telling these stories, and the pride in her voice was palpable when she spoke of her mother, but it was a story that ended in tragedy.

"A somewhat clichéd question, do you hate your father?" Lu Cheng broke Elena's silence again,

"Even if I say hate, it's useless, my country will still be destroyed by the invasion of the Blood Crystal Beast."

Elena's scarlet eyes met Lu Cheng's, and she whispered her thoughts.

"Now I'm thinking about how to save my people from the threat of those Blood Crystal Beasts, whatever it takes."

"Did your father think the same way?" Lu Cheng asked.

"I... I don't know, when the Blood Crystal Beast invaded the royal capital, I begged him to open the gate of the castle to give the people shelter, but he refused. Elena whispered, "I don't have any way to do it in our world... No one can disobey the ruler's command, and if he gives me the order to kneel, my knees will become as heavy as steel, and I will fall to the ground and be unable to stand up. ”

Elena's tone sounded like she had experienced it all herself.

"Then you... Considered becoming ruler in his place? Lu Cheng asked tentatively.

"I didn't think about this, all I can think about now is how to live, how to save more people, status and wealth, it doesn't matter." Elena said this, looking at the crystals on the back of her hands, and said, "But the core of the leyline crystals must be touched by the ruler, if necessary......"

"I guess I understand." Lu Cheng didn't continue the topic at this point.

Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent again.

"That road city." This time it was Elena who broke the silence, "About that grandson... Grandchild... Sun ......"

"Monkey King." Lu Cheng said what she wanted to say for Elena.

"That's right, it's Sun... Sun ......"

"You don't need to be in such a hurry, I understand, you still want to hear the story you told before?" Lu Cheng quickly guessed the princess's thoughts.

Her little head kept pointing to express her inner thoughts.

"Well, I want to sleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Lu Cheng said.
