Chapter 502 The Guiding Crystal
After the walkie-talkie's signal was connected, Lu Yu told Jiang Lengyue about the general situation he knew. Jiang Lengyue had a basic understanding of the Truth Department's situation, including the fact that the Truth Department's headquarters was in the ancient ruins.
In the end, Lu Yu mulled it over for a while before telling her his guess.
"The first enemy I defeated in the ancient ruins was called Countess Irene. The title of Countess is usually a position in the Empire, including Marquis, Duke, King, and so on…"
"This girl named Irene seems to have been in a deep sleep for a long time before she woke up. So, I feel that this land once had a powerful empire."
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Jiang Lengyue was silent for a long time before she spoke slowly, " You're right. There was indeed a powerful empire in the ancient ruins, but we don't know much about it. We brought back a few books from these ancient ruins, but the records weren't detailed enough."
"That's why we don't know much about this empire. If you find out anything else, please let us know."
Lu Yu nodded slightly. "Alright, I'll let you know if I find any new information."
"It's getting late. Rest, and if you have anything to say, we'll continue tomorrow."
"Yes..."
The walkie-talkie's signal was cut off, and Lu Yu placed it on the table.
"It seems that we still need to continue our in-depth investigation. There are still many unknown things in these ancient ruins.
Xu Yuan nodded. "That's right. We have to find out what the Truth Department is doing here!"
Lu Yu looked at the plate and realized that dinner was almost finished.
"Alright, you guys go back and rest. I'll continue to sit here for a while."
They all got up.
"Rest early; we'll be leaving first." Jiang Ning turned around and said.
"See you tomorrow!" Su Qing smiled and waved at Lu Yu.
"Thank you for saving my parents." Han Xuefei, who had always been as cold as an ice cube, also showed a sincere smile at this moment.
"Brother, let's continue our journey tomorrow morning. We'll always be the best teammates!"
As they left, the office suddenly became quiet.
Lu Yu sat alone, holding his brow and thinking.
He then took out a transparent crystal without any impurities.
This was a guidance crystal, and injecting energy into it would guide him to an energy source.
Lu Yu placed the guiding crystal on the table, then took out a Claine Crystal.
He switched to his Light Dragon Claw with his right hand and used the absorption skill to draw a trace of energy from the Claine Crystal.
The energy was extracted and suspended in his palm.
After sizing up the energy, Lu Yu injected it into the guiding crystal.
Soon, a purple light glowed from the pure crystal.
At that moment, the guiding crystal started moving on its own.
Lu Yu stared at the crystal curiously and found that the crystal was like the arrow of a compass, starting to turn.
It twitched and turned twice before stopping and pointing in a direction.
"Northeast. This energy source is there, which means that the entire mine is in that area!"
The direction the crystal had pointed to was only a rough location, and he would definitely not be able to find the mine in this direction just based on this.
However, as long as Lu Yu kept holding this crystal, it would be like a compass, continuously helping Lu Yu to guide the way forward until he reached his destination.
Lu Yu picked up the crystal and put it into his pocket watch.
"It seems I need to go to the mine and take a look. I need to teach those bastards of the Truth Department a lesson!"
Lu Yu stood up and walked toward the office door.
Lu Yu pushed open the door and walked out.
It was already late at night outside. It was pitch black, and only a few dim lights were still on.
There was almost no one outside. Everyone was resting in their dormitory.
Lu Yu also hurried to the dormitory building and returned to his room.
Lying on the bed, Lu Yu fell asleep almost instantly. After all, he had been running around all day and fighting non-stop without much rest. The fatigue in his body made him unable to hold on for another second, and he fell asleep immediately.
Very quickly, the night passed. When it was almost noon the next day, Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes.
He got out of bed and looked at the empty room. He went to the bathroom to take a shower, then put on his clothes and pushed the door open to go out.
The noon sun was particularly glaring outside. Below the dormitory building, a few figures were training in the shadows, including Wang Meng.
When Lu Yu arrived downstairs, Wang Meng and the rest immediately stopped their training.
"Brother, you're finally awake!" Wang Meng said with a smile, wiping sweat from his brow.
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes at him. "You sound as if Lu Yu is sleeping in on purpose."
Lu Yu walked over and waved his hand. "I did wake up late today. Is everyone here?"
Lu Yu glanced around and saw that only Han Xuefei was not here.
"Where's Han Xuefei?"
Lu Yu looked at Yun Zirou and asked. They were both girls, so she should know about her status.
"She should be here soon. She woke up early today and went to train early in the morning."
Yun Zirou looked into the distance as she spoke.
At that moment, everyone saw Han Xuefei walking toward them.
Her tall and sexy figure made her walk elegantly. She was dressed in black, making her look like a proud black cat.
"Everyone's here. Sorry, I'm late." She showed a faint smile to express her apology.
"It's alright. We'll get ready and set off later."
Lu Yu's words stunned everyone. They had only been back for a day, and they were going to set off again!
"Where is our next target?" Xu Yuan asked.
"The Claine Crystal's mine!"
They were curious and asked, "Isn't this mine hidden? Can you find it?"
"It's not going to be easy to find that. If we don't have any guidance, we might end up making a wasted trip."
"We don't have any clues right now. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to find them blindly."
Lu Yu knew they had many questions, so he took out the guiding crystal.
He placed the crystal in his palm and asked everyone to come over and take a look.
"This pure white crystal only has a trace of purple light inside."
"Could this be a defective Claine Crystal?"
"Can this crystal help us?"
"Look carefully; do you see anything?" Lu Yu raised his palm and said.
Xu Yuan and the others stared at the crystal and soon saw some clues.
"Oh, this thing can spin! That's interesting." Wang Meng exclaimed in surprise.
"This crystal seems to be guiding the way. It looks like a compass." Xu Yuan commented at a glance.
"Yes, this is a guiding crystal that can help us find the location of the mine!"
