874 Chapter 874 Crowned Empress
Chapter 874 Crowned Empress
Elizabeth and General Sean went to the coronation ceremony together, while Lu Yu went to the treasury of the Lionheart Empire alone.
He wanted to collect materials to help him go to the Netherworld Abyss.
In the huge treasury, there were many cabinets arranged neatly.
The areas were divided according to different categories and were easy to figure out.
"Death Spirit Dragon, tell me now, what should I take?"
"If we want to open the path to the abyss, we need some powerful light elements."
"The passage to the Netherworld Abyss has been corrupted by darkness all year round. Light elements must temporarily purify it to have an open passage."
"Furthermore, after entering, one would need to possess a shroud of intense light elemental energy to resist the corrosion of darkness."
"Therefore, few could enter the place. Only someone like a great elementalist or the dean of your academy has enough power of the light element to survive the place."
"As for the other people around you, I'm afraid they don't have the qualifications to enter."
Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded slightly. "This means that I can only go in alone?"
"It seems so. Someone else can't follow unless you equip them with a strong light elemental accessory."
"Hmm, it's not that easy to find light elemental accessories. It seems like I'll go alone."
Lu Yu stood before the shelves and took everything related to the light element.
Soon, he had collected more than ten pieces of equipment with the light elements imbued.
"Fuse these pieces of equipment and compress them. Then, you can obtain the key to enter the abyss!"
Immediately, Lu Yu switched to his Explosive Dragon Claws. His arms were burning with extreme heat as he began to fuse the equipment.
The light elemental pieces of equipment were compressed together, finally merging into a ball that was only half the size of a fist.
"How's this?"
"The intensity of the light element should be enough. With this, we can open the door to the Netherworld Abyss."
Lu Yu turned around and walked out of the treasury.
Many more treasures lay around, but Lu Yu did not touch them. It was unnecessary, and probably not much could catch his eye anyway.
After walking out of the treasury, the security guards on both sides of the door greeted Lu Yu respectfully.
Lu Yu then hurried toward the coronation ceremony.
The coronation ceremony was held in the center of the royal palace. All the surviving royal family members had to attend and witness the new Empress's ascension to the throne.
Cameras were set up around the area to broadcast live to the people of the Lionheart Empire.
This was the most important day for the Lionheart Empire, as the direction of their country would undergo a huge change.
Lu Yu arrived at the venue and sat with the audience.
The ceremony was quiet. After all, all the people here added together did not exceed 100.
Too many royal family members died last night, resulting in a much quieter crowd.
At this moment, Elizabeth walked onto the red carpet in her long white dress.
Not far ahead, there was a golden throne. The throne was made of pure gold, with the two armrests shaped into a pair of golden lions. The back of the throne was made of countless weapons spread into a fan-like shape.
Elizabeth ascended to the throne amidst great applause.
Beside the throne, Annabel was standing there, holding onto an exquisite crown with both hands as she walked up to Elizabeth.
"From today onwards, Elizabeth will officially become the Empress of the Empire. The orders of the Empress are absolute, and so be it!"
She placed the crown on Elizabeth's head and completed the final step of the coronation ceremony.
Immediately, the surrounding reporters surrounded Elizabeth and began to take photos of her. This was a major piece of news that could make headlines in various countries and was worth recording.
After some time, Elizabeth stood up.
She glanced at everyone and slowly said, "From today onwards, I will be the head of the empire. I promise the people of the Lionheart Kingdom that I will make this country prosper, flourishing beyond its current status!"
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Although Elizabeth was not tall, her aura was grand. Her tone was firm, giving off power with her speech.
When Lu Yu arrived, the ceremony was at its end. He did not witness the beginning of the ceremony.
After that, there was a short banquet for everyone to have a good meal.
At the banquet, Lu Yu came to the throne and touched it.
"So, you are this country's Empress from now on. It will not be easy to govern a country, and you will inevitably have to scheme against others in the future."
"With you backing me up, would I fear these things?" Elizabeth looked at Lu Yu and smiled.
"That's true. You can continue to do what you want. Just tell me if anyone dares to disobey."
Elizabeth could not help but sigh. "An emperor of a country must have good assistants. My father became Emperor back then because he had two good friends who helped him ascend the throne."
"Those two are the two great generals."
"What are you planning to do next?"
Lu Yu pondered momentarily before replying, "I intend to go to a place called the Netherworld Abyss. This is a place where it can help me figure out the past of these dragons, and at the same time, I can reconstruct the Death Spirit Dragon's body."
"Go. One more dragon means one more strength, which is a good thing."
Lu Yu looked at Han Xuefei and said, "You can stay with her."
Han Xuefei was a little reluctant after hearing that. "Do you think I'm a burden?"
"How could that be? You've helped me greatly, and I want to bring you along. It's just that you can't go into the place."
"How is that possible? I'm not weak." Han Xuefei asked puzzledly.
"It's not because of your strength but because you don't have the power of the light element. You can't withstand the corrosion of the darkness, so I'll go alone this time."
Hearing this, Han Xuefei hung her head helplessly and sighed.
She knew she lacked the power of the light element and couldn't possibly cultivate it now. It was far too late to start now.
"Alright, I'll stay beside Elizabeth and be the Empress' bodyguard. It seems like a good job."
Elizabeth was excited after hearing that. "That's great! With you by my side, I will always be safe!"
The two of them then began to chat animatedly.
The banquet ended quickly. Elizabeth had officially become Empress, a piece of news that caused quite a stir in the media.
After all, they had all assumed Norton was the future Emperor. The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
As for Lu Yu, he found General Sean after the banquet to discuss his expedition.
