Chapter 15 – Not Quite Proficient
Elena’s understanding of the Blood Crystal Beasts is also quite limited, and the information she has shared so far is restricted to what is recorded in ancient texts.
“A creature that appears periodically? That devastates a country until it’s destroyed?”
Lu cheng repeated Elena’s description of the ‘Blood Crystal Beasts.’
“They first appeared at the border of our country three years ago.”
Hubert, after listening to elena’s irrelevant legends, had no choice but to personally provide Lu cheng with some useful information.
“No one knows how they appeared, but as soon as they did, they destroyed all the villages on our border, including this Crescent Moon Town.”
Hubert said, taking a necklace from around his neck and handing it to Lu cheng.
This necklace had a tooth of an unknown creature, about as long as a finger, and the surface of the tooth was covered with a black, hard, and steel-like layer.
“What is this?”
“A tooth from a Blood Crystal Beast. It killed my wife.”
Hubert’s voice showed no trace of sorrow, only a hint of anger. Although Elena could not understand the specific words, she could still sense the confidence in Lu cheng’s tone.
“Lord Lu cheng, you mentioned rockets and grenades—are these magic?” Elena whispered, “Magic is ineffective against Blood Crystal Beasts.”
“Magic? What I’m talking about is not magic, but weapons.”
Lu cheng understood why Elena might guess that. To her, Chinese might sound like an incantation, and the princess was trying hard to mimic Lu cheng’s pronunciation without biting her tongue.
“Weapons?”
Elena examined Lu cheng closely. His attire, from her perspective, was very hard to understand, which she described as strange clothing.
The only thing Elena could discern was that Lu cheng’s clothing was much lighter than armor, but with the trade-off being less protection.
Did soldiers in this country not need armor? This also puzzled Elena, but she didn’t ask further.
Her current focus was on the weapons Lu cheng mentioned.
Unfortunately, Elena only saw a dagger-like weapon strapped to Lu cheng’s leg.
“About this…”
Lu cheng thought for a moment. In modern military operations, rifles are basic infantry equipment.
If real warfare were to start, it would likely involve tanks, artillery, and intercontinental missiles first.
Therefore, revealing the existence of rifles to these natives was not an issue.
“The weapon we use is called a gun.”
Lu cheng lifted the rifle on his shoulder and placed it horizontally on his knee.
“A gun?”
Elena observed the object in Lu cheng’s hand. Its dark surface did not seem to be metal but rather an unfamiliar material.
Yet, Elena could not find any sharp parts on the weapon.
“Is this weapon like a magic staff that amplifies magical power? Or do you swing it like a wooden stick?”
Elena gestured as if swinging some kind of stick, trying to figure out how to use this oddly shaped weapon.
“Rather than describing it in words, it’s better to demonstrate its power,” Lu cheng said.
“Can you really do that?”
Elena recalled the image of those giant wolves exploding. Even though she had only heard the sounds, they were enough to be shocking.
“Of course, but on the condition that we need a certain resource. If you can provide it in large quantities… I will consider contacting our country to discuss providing assistance,” Lu cheng said.
Noyes had already informed him that Skarre’s capital had a large amount of leyline crystals.
If Lu cheng needed to explore wild leyline crystals, it would require a huge amount of time and effort that his current energy could not support.
It was better to find an existing source.
“What resource?”
“This.”
Lu cheng took out a sample of the leyline crystal. The energy in this crystal had been completely absorbed by Lu cheng, and it hadn’t recovered even after several hours.
Lu cheng did not know if this leyline crystal could be reused or was a one-time item.
As soon as Lu cheng took out the leyline crystal, before Elena could react, General Hubert stood up with somewhat uncontrolled emotions.
“This… Lord Lu cheng, your request…”
“General Hubert, let me explain,” Lu cheng said before Hubert could finish.
Elena, having been interrupted, turned her attention to the leyline crystal in Lu cheng’s hand and asked, “Lord Lu cheng, does your country not have leyline crystals?”
“We haven’t found such crystals. Why?”
Lu cheng did not think such magic-imbued crystals would appear on Earth, and this answer left Hubert and Elena with shocked expressions.
“Lord Lu cheng, leyline crystals are as vital as the very life of any country in this world.”
Elena told Lu cheng something that everyone in this world knew.
