"Should it count? Can you... change the subject?"
When Lu Cheng faced Nancy's question, he seemed to be unable to maintain his calm attitude that he had been able to answer before.
Nancy noticed the subtle change in Lu Cheng's expression. Although she smelled a hint of gossip, she was considerate enough not to ask any more questions.
Under Lu Cheng's guidance, Nancy reinstalled the phone case. Another gift Lu Cheng gave her was a small power bank.
Nancy took the power bank from Lu Cheng. She was still feeling a little flustered from saying the wrong thing.
"Her Majesty Elena, she shouldn't have this, right?"
Nancy once again asked what was on her mind, and the moment she said it she really wanted to cover her mouth.
"As for Elena, there is no need for the moment, because there is a place to charge in the room."
Lu Cheng knew that Nancy was hostile to the Queen of Scarlett, and Nancy would deliberately compare her grades with Elena when studying.
The current comparison shows that Nancy has achieved complete victory.
"Is that so..." Nancy muttered to herself.
Although Lu Cheng didn't know what this girl was thinking, judging from the more than 300 grams of energy transmitted from her, she should be very happy now.
Lu Cheng was not chatting with Nancy all the time when he came to the Snow. At the port where the Snow was docked, there was a group of soldiers and researchers who had packed their luggage and were ready to board the Snow.
They were envoys sent by Rabbit to the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai. The diplomatic purpose was secondary. The main purpose was to study the local customs and habits, magical specialties, and to be responsible for the research on the Crystal Sea.
Lucheng had wanted to send out such a research team a long time ago, but due to lack of logistics support, the plan had to be temporarily slowed down.
But now...
"Professor Lu, you are all within the fire coverage of the Upper City Ship. If there is any danger, just call the Upper City Ship directly."
Lu Cheng came to the port to communicate with the research team consisting of twenty people.
"Yes, we will definitely feel at ease with the city ship here." The leader was an old professor, Professor Lu Zhengxian, who had made many suggestions on the arrangements for the Skare refugees before.
"And this seal." Lu Cheng said as he summoned the seal spirit from the Xiu Enzhe Kingdom. It took some effort to pick up the seal. "It will give you some advice, but don't believe it completely. Just use it as a reference."
"Can this seal talk like that bird?" Professor Lu had seen Scarre's crystal spirit, and because Scarre's crystal spirit had the ability to 'detect evil', he wanted to ask Dr. Ji Chuan to catch the bird for research.
Unfortunately, Dr. Ji Chuan hasn’t figured out anything yet.
"Please rest assured, contractors... As long as they are within the territory of Xiu Enzhe, I will protect your safety." The seal patted his belly to make a promise.
"When you want to call it out, just say the seal has come ashore. That's all I can convey. Finally, everyone please be safe."
Lu Cheng put the seal back on the ground and let it communicate with the researchers on its own, while he returned to the camp with Nancy.
Lu Cheng no longer needs to worry about the handover of the Snow.
Just when Lu Cheng returned to the camp and was about to eat his lunch, he happened to pass by the new liaison headquarters that was being built in the camp.
And inside the construction site, Lu Cheng saw... Elena was walking past Lu Cheng carrying a bundle of steel bars.
"Elena!"
Lu Cheng called out her name immediately. Elena, who was carrying a bundle of steel bars, reacted instantly. The moment she turned around, the bundle of steel bars almost hit Lu Cheng's cheek. Fortunately, Lu Cheng half-crouched down and dodged it... This move looked potentially fatal.
"Lucheng? And Miss Nancy? What's going on?"
Elena temporarily put the bundle of steel bars on her shoulders to the ground. The heavy sound made Lu Cheng estimate that two big men would not be able to lift this bundle of steel bars together. She ran to Lu Cheng in small steps.
"Why...are you working here?"
Lu Cheng looked at Elena, who was wearing a safety helmet. There were traces of dust on her little face... Judging from the work gloves on Elena's hands, she should have been helping to move things for a while.
Lu Cheng inexplicably felt that this kind of plot was somewhat familiar. The rich girl in the class looked very rich, but was actually working secretly behind the scenes.
But the problem is, isn't working like moving bricks on a construction site too fucking hardcore
The Queen of Skare went to the neighboring country's construction site to carry bricks. Is this a moral decline... or... Lu Cheng can no longer make up stories.
"Working here gives you more daily necessities and meal tickets than working in other places." Elena's voice sounded as if it was a matter of course, and there was nothing wrong with it.
There was indeed nothing wrong with it. From a modern perspective, Lu Cheng felt that it was a little strange for a girl to appear on the construction site.
But as the queen of Skare, she did not think there was anything shameful about doing this kind of work.
Well... Elena still felt a little ashamed, because when she saw Nancy standing next to Lu Cheng with neat clothes and fair skin, she subconsciously wanted to wipe her dirty cheek with her hand.
But there was some dust or something on her work gloves. Lu Cheng held her hand that was about to wipe her cheek, and took out a wet tissue from his pocket.
"Close your eyes." Lu Cheng said.
Elena obediently closed her eyes, and Lu Cheng used a wet tissue to wipe the stains on Elena's cheeks bit by bit.
Logically speaking, the skin quality of women in the Middle Ages should be very poor. According to Lu Cheng's observation, the skin quality of civilian women was indeed like that. However, the skin quality of those seal bearers and holy crystal users was... so good that modern people would find it a little abnormal.
Lu Cheng could only attribute it to the fact that magic could change a person's physique. Elena was a typical example. This wild girl didn't seem to take any care of herself, but there was absolutely no flaw in her skin.
"You have to be safe while working here."
Lu Cheng didn’t know when he became so close to Elena. He could only say that girls who are outgoing and friendly are easy to get along with everywhere.
"I have read the safety rules. I also learned how to make concrete here, which I will be able to teach everyone when I return home," said Elena.
"Go back home..." Lu Cheng thought that Elena was not going to leave the camp. In the process of getting along with her, Lu Cheng did not feel that Elena had too much attachment to her country. It was not like Nancy did everything for Xiu Enzhe's future.
"Well, Teacher Lin mentioned a word in class called the dream of a great country. I think... my mother must have had this dream before." Elena said.
"Is that so? Maybe I should find some time to go back to the Royal City of Skare. After all, the idea of immigration should be coming soon." Lu Cheng thought of this and looked in the direction of the camp port.
“Immigration trend?”
Elena was not like Nancy, who could quickly understand the meaning of Lu Cheng's strange words.
"The population of your country will increase soon," Lu Cheng said.
