Chapter 838 Lionheart City
Elizabeth had never thought about ascending the throne.
From what she knew, being an Emperor would never fall on her head. Her three brothers were in front of her, so no matter what, it would never be up to her.
However, she was up for it after Lu Yu suggested his notion.
She did not intend to fight with others or compete with other forces. The reason she accepted the position of Emperor was to help Lu Yu.
“So, are you returning to the Lionheart Empire with me?”
As she spoke, Elizabeth turned around and looked at Walter’s corpse behind her.
No matter what, she had to bring Walter’s body back and bury him in her hometown.
Although Walter had betrayed the Empire and committed heinous acts worthy of betraying humanity, Elizabeth still wanted to bring him back.
Flowers rose and fell, and leaves will always return to their roots. Burying Walter in his hometown could be considered a satisfactory end to his sinful life.
“No problem. I have nothing to do for the time being. I’ll return with you.”
He knew almost nothing about the situation in the Lionheart Empire. Therefore, when he said that he would help Elizabeth ascend to the throne, it was because of the confidence the three dragons gave him and his two divine artifacts.
“Alright, I’ll pack up here, and we’ll set off…”
Elizabeth looked at the knight beside her and said, “Clean up the body and bring him back to the Lionheart Empire.”
“Yes, your highness!”
Zena and Helen looked at Elizabeth and sighed.
“Are we witnessing the rotation of a dynasty?” Zena exclaimed. At the same time, she felt lucky that she had just woken up at this time.
Helen also looked at Elizabeth with envy. Becoming the Empress of a country was just too impressive, and she could only dream of it.
“You two, we’re friends now that you are on our side. If you are in any trouble in the future, you can look for me. I will be in the capital of the Lionheart Empire.”
Elizabeth said this with a smile.
Her kind smile made the two of them feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, bathing them comfortably.
Zena turned to look at Lu Yu and said, “We’ll head back now.”
As she spoke, she took out a teleportation scroll.
“Do you know how to find this place?” Lu Yu asked.
“Of course. I was born and raised in this area, so I know the environment here very well.”
As she spoke, she opened the scroll.
At this moment, Elizabeth took out two scrolls.
“These two are the scrolls to teleport here, so please take them. If there’s something urgent, just teleport over.”
Helen took the scroll and nodded slightly. “Thank you. We’ll take it.”
Then, the two of them unfurled their teleportation scrolls at the same time. They were then swallowed by the light and disappeared.
The two of them returned to Black Rock City and chose to keep Lu Yu’s existence a secret.
As for Lu Yu, he was not worried about his whereabouts being exposed. His whereabouts were constantly publicized when he was in the Stellaris Autonomous Region. They could find him anytime as long as the Truth Department wanted to find him.
However, it was hard to say if he was strong enough to face them now.
Lu Yu was constantly wondering how strong the Truth Department was.
However, to be conservative, he still decided to prioritize strengthening himself.
“Walter’s body has been kept, and we can return anytime.”
As she spoke, Elizabeth took out a few teleportation scrolls. “We will teleport back directly. It’s very convenient.”
“Will this teleportation scroll still work in another spatial dimension entirely?”
Before the Claine Crystal was discovered, Lu Yu and the others would not have been able to return to their planet using their teleportation scroll from these ancient ruins.
Therefore, using a teleportation scroll to teleport to the Lionheart Empire from here was almost impossible.
However, Elizabeth shook her head. “Look carefully. My teleportation scroll is not ordinary.”
“This is a strengthened teleportation scroll bestowed with extraordinary energy. It can bring us back to the original location it recorded, no matter where we are.”
Lu Yu’s eyes lit up. “There’s such a teleportation scroll? This is the first time I’ve heard of it. In other words, you can teleport back to the Lionheart Empire at any time with this scroll?”
Elizabeth nodded slightly. “That’s why I’m not worried about my safety here. No matter what danger I encounter, I can always return to my country.”
Lu Yu looked at the scroll in her hand and could not help but rub his chin curiously.
“However, there’s only one scroll. Is it enough for us?”
Elizabeth shook her head at his question. “I don’t need more. One is enough.”
“Its function is to open a portal!”
Immediately, Elizabeth opened the teleportation scroll and injected her energy into it.
Soon, the various mysterious runes on the scroll began to glow faintly.
A ray of light shot out into the sky, and a spatial rift in the air began slowly opening.
An almond-shaped blue portal slowly widened.
After the portal was ready, Elizabeth looked at Lu Yu and the others. “The teleportation portal can only last for three minutes. Let’s leave this place immediately.”
She finally found Walter and couldn’t wait to return to the Lionheart Empire.
“Alright, we’ll come with you. The Truth Department has lost the Death Spirit Dragon, so I don’t think they will make too much of a fuss for now. Their combat strength is weakened, so they will probably hide and wait for the people of the Ember Empire to slowly recover.”
Elizabeth walked toward the portal with that.
Behind her were four members of her knight regiment, who acted as her bodyguards.
Elizabeth passed through the portal and returned to the Lionheart Empire.
Lu Yu looked at Han Xuefei and said, “Let’s go in.”
Han Xuefei nodded, and the two of them walked into the portal.
When the light faded, Lu Yu noticed that he was under a scorching sun.
Lu Yu could not help but squint his eyes at the blinding light.
He then heard the noise of a crowd around him.
Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes. It was noon, and the sun was glaring, illuminating his surroundings.
He looked around and found himself in the middle of a square.,
Han Xuefei also passed through the portal and stood beside Lu Yu.
Many onlookers couldn’t help but look at Han Xuefei, as only the princess of a noble family could match her devilish figure and beautiful looks.
At that moment, the two of them were in the capital of the Lionheart Empire, Lionheart City!
This vast city was built on barren land, with a golden desert not far to the west.
The buildings here were relatively simple, and many of them were made of earthen yellow bricks.
Only in the city’s central area could one see some magnificent royal buildings.
