Chapter 530 Entrusted By The Princess

Elizabeth’s request made Lu Yu and the others curious. What would the princess of the Lionheart Empire need Lu Yu to do?

“If there’s anything you need help with, we’ll do our best.” Lu Yu said.

Elizabeth nodded and continued, “You should know I came to these ancient ruins for my brother as he encountered some problems.”

“Let’s hear it.”

Elizabeth let out a long sigh and continued helplessly, “It’s like this. My father has three sons and three daughters in the royal family.”

“However, two of his sons entered the ancient ruins and are still missing.”

“Two?” Lu Yu asked in surprise. “What did they encounter?”

“It’s mainly an issue brought up by my third brother. He had some emotional issues some time ago, and evil forces bewitched him as he led them to the Lionheart Empire.”

“As for my second brother, he seemed to have discovered something and followed my third brother into these ancient ruins. Their whereabouts are still unknown.”

“So, I hope you can help me with this and save my two brothers if you have the ability.”

Lu Yu scratched his head in confusion. These hints were abstract and not specific at all. How was he supposed to find them?

“Your third brother has a problem with his emotions. What’s the problem?”

At the mention of this, Elizabeth seemed to have some unspeakable secrets, so she hesitated and didn’t say them out loud.

Lu Yu realized something and quickly asked, “Don’t tell me it’s to fight for the throne?”

Elizabeth raised her head in surprise and asked innocently, “How did you know?”

Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders and said with a speechless expression, “Don’t the brothers and sisters of the royal family usually have these sorts of problems? I just took a stab at it and hit the nail on the head.”

“I mean, to the royal family’s children, getting the throne is more important than anything else, right?”

Elizabeth nodded. “That’s right. It’s because of this that the throne belongs to my eldest brother. He couldn’t stand it and wanted to prove himself, so he went crazy.”

“Since that’s the case, there’s no need to guess. That guy must have gone to the Truth Department.”

Elizabeth let out a long sigh. “I thought so too, but I haven’t seen anyone from the Truth Department since I came here.”

Wang Meng, standing next to them, couldn’t help but chuckle. There were Truth Department members in the area, but they were all dead.

“The death of your subordinate was due to someone from the Truth Department.”

Elizabeth’s eyes lit up when she heard that.

Really? Did you meet someone from the Truth Department?”

“I met about forty of them, but they’re all dead now.”

“So many. You must have destroyed an entire stronghold.”

Elizabeth exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Yu nodded. “You’re right. Those people are from a stronghold.”

“It’s a pity that this organization is disciplined and secretive. Even though I destroyed a stronghold, I still got very little information.”

Lu Yu had already learned enough information from Liao Xie, but that information wasn’t valuable to him at the moment.

It only revealed to Lu Yu the reason for the ancient ruins’ existence and why people are sleeping in these lands.

“Now, I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve been here for so long, but I have no clue about my brothers. I can’t find the two of them at all!”

“If you run into them, you must bring them back. On behalf of the Lionheart Empire, I will offer you the greatest reward possible!”

Lu Yu turned to Xu Yuan and asked, “If we were to find her brother, we would have to continue to find the forces of the Truth Department. Do you have any idea how to find more of them?”

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and answered, “The stronghold we’ve occupied must be critical to the Truth Department. So, as long as we guard the stronghold, the Truth Department will come to us eventually!”

Lu Yu heard his reply and nodded. “That’s true. In such an important stronghold, there must be someone from the Truth Department coming to check on these mines regularly.”

“Furthermore, the people who would come here must be from the headquarters of the Truth Department. As long as we intercept them, they can guide us to their headquarters!”

Xu Yuan said it with certainty.

“Yes. Let’s manage this stronghold and wait for our prey to come!”

Lu Yu looked at Elizabeth. “I want to make a deal with you.”

Elizabeth nodded slightly. “I’d be happy to make a deal with you, but I don’t know what I’m lacking.”

Lu Yu knew that as the princess of a country, Elizabeth definitely didn’t lack most things.

However, the Claine Crystals would be something everyone in these ancient ruins wanted.

Lu Yu took a purple crystal from his pocket watch and placed it in his palm.

“Look at this. Do you want it?”

Looking at the crystal in Lu Yu’s hand, Elizabeth’s eyes lit up.

“You… you have more of this?”

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment. “You know about this?”

“Of course. I’ve bought some Claine Crystals from the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce. They are useful, but they are costly.”

Lu Yu shrugged. “They won’t be able to sell it in the future. I’m the only one who has more of these crystals.”

“Why do you say that?” Elizabeth asked curiously.

“The Red Heart Chamber of Commerce and the Truth Department are allies, and I destroyed both of their strongholds here!”

“The mines that the Truth Department was in charge of are now ours, so I’m the only one who can produce more of these crystals.”

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth was enlightened. “So that’s the situation.”

“This Red Heart Chamber of Commerce is sure disgusting. The fact that they cooperated with such a force is really disgusting!”

Elizabeth spoke with a look of disgust. She hated the Truth Department from the bottom of her heart. She had heard of this organization’s evil deeds, and now that she knew that her two brothers had been taken away by this organization, she hated it even more.

“How much do you plan to sell it for? I’m willing to buy some from you.”

She looked at Lu Yu sincerely, her eyes full of trust.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment as he didn’t need anything at the moment.

“I don’t need money for the time being. Do you have any useful equipment that I can exchange for?”

Elizabeth sized Lu Yu up and answered, “I see your armor is all broken. Should I pick a set of armor for you?”

Lu Yu pondered for a moment. He was tired of wearing armor, which would make his movements less flexible and restrict him. Moreover, the blue-grade equipment could no longer give Lu Yu a decent increase in his attributes, so it was useless to wear more armor.

“Do you have something like a tight-fitting outfit or a night suit that will make it easier for me to move around?”
