Chapter 438 Empress Raymond
Just as the scene fell silent, a female guard next to the "girl" spoke in interstellar language: "Human from Earth, this is Empress Raemon, the Queen of our planet Roland." Li Chenglong quickly bowed slightly and said in interstellar language: "Your Majesty, Empress of Roland, I am Li Chenglong, a human from China, the third planet of our solar system. I heard that you wished to see me, so as soon as I arrived on Roland, Cynthia and I rushed here without stopping."
Raymond nodded slightly: "Raise your head and let me see what kind of person you are that Lena values so much." She looked at him seriously for more than ten seconds, then casually exhaled, but Li Chenglong felt an extremely strong energy rushing towards him.
Li Chenglong slightly tilted his head to the right, easily dodging the burst of energy. However, at this moment, two guards beside Leimon were already charging forward with longswords. Sensing the aura emanating from these two, Li Chenglong also became serious. The Emperor Sword appeared in his hand almost instantly, and he held it vertically in front of his chest, blocking one of the attackers coming from the front. Then, he did two somersaults backward, dodging the slash from the person behind him.
Time was running out, and Li Chenglong decided to finish the battle quickly, unleashing the power of his Level Two Holy Dragon Blood. At that moment, tiny cracks appeared on his left cheek, starting from his left eye, and golden energy poured into them, turning his left eye completely golden. His right eye turned completely blood red, and the pupil became a black vortex resembling a star cluster; upon closer inspection, one could see the vortex slowly rotating.
The two women were about to step forward when they were forced back several steps by the force of the attack. However, they did not retreat. Instead, they unleashed their own power and continued their attack on Li Chenglong. Raymond watched the battle with a smile on her face, while many elves began to appear on the second floor of the castle.
"Dimensional Slash!" Li Chenglong shouted, unleashing a terrifying blue sword aura that shot straight at the two women. The two women simultaneously leaped up to dodge the attack. Just as the sword aura was about to strike a pillar in the castle, Raymond gently flicked out a burst of energy with her right hand, neutralizing the sword aura.
However, taking advantage of the two women's leap, Li Chenglong finally found an opening. Using dimensional teleportation, he instantly appeared behind one of them and sent her flying with a powerful punch. He then used spatial manipulation to switch the space where the other person was located with the space in front of him. Caught off guard, the elf suddenly appeared in front of Li Chenglong, who firmly restrained him with locking techniques, rendering him unable to move, even dropping his sword to the side.
“Stop,” Raymond said with a smile. Li Chenglong promptly released the elven warrior who was already suffocating. The two women bowed to Raymond and spoke in the language of Roland, though it was unclear what they were saying. Queen Raymond then gestured for the two women to leave. After they left, many high-ranking elves emerged from both sides of the castle hall, including members of both ordinary and dark elves.
After everyone bowed and took their seats on either side, Raemon said loudly, "You've all seen the battle just now and Princess Sera's report. What are your thoughts?"
A heated discussion immediately erupted, with lords from different city-states whispering and exchanging opinions. Li Chenglong sat upright in a nearby chair, observing the scene. Little did he know that his composed and dignified demeanor had been observed by the Queen.
The discussion lasted for at least ten minutes, eventually fading into silence. Seeing that a result had been reached, a lady-in-waiting beside the Queen announced loudly, "Those who agree, please stand; those who disagree, please remain still." After a quick count, a decision was passed with a resounding majority of only six votes against.
In truth, Li Chenglong had no idea what had happened or what the vote was for. At this moment, Cynthia walked over to him and said, "Congratulations! You have finally gained the true support of Roland Star. I only learned about this when I arrived in the capital. All the lords from various factions are here today and will decide whether to support you by observing your performance and studying Princess Sera's report."
As soon as Cynthia finished speaking, an elven guard came over and said in interstellar language, "Our Queen Raimon wishes to speak with you. Please follow me to the back."
Li Chenglong followed the guard to the third floor of the castle. The door slowly opened, revealing a small reception room. Queen Raymond sat in the center, and several maids brought in a variety of fruits and pastries that Li Chenglong had never seen before. After doing so, they all withdrew.
Just as Li Chenglong was about to speak, Raymond spoke first: "I'm afraid Lena hasn't told you about the three keys yet, but it seems she's already given you the key that Hailanxing has. You don't need to be reserved here, just eat whatever you like. Since you call Lena 'teacher,' then as her aunt, we are related in some way."
Queen Raymond then told Li Chenglong about the three keys. It turned out that when Roland, Meilan, and Hailan were jointly researching the G-Gem, they created three keys as a safeguard against this potentially limitless energy source. Only when the owner of the G-Gem gains the approval of all three planets and possesses the three keys can the G-Gem be unlocked and its true power released.
After speaking, Queen Raymond stood up, raised her scepter in her right hand, and uttered some obscure words. Then, a beam of green light shot into Li Chenglong's body. Although it only lasted a few dozen seconds, Raymond's cheeks were covered in a fine sweat, clearly indicating that this was quite energy-consuming.
Li Chenglong bowed to express his gratitude, and Raymond smiled and said, "Now you have the keys to Roland Star and Hailan Star. The key to Meilan Star is a bit troublesome. The key to Meilan Star is in the hands of the dean of the highest academy on their planet, but that dean went to the depths of the galaxy to find a way to deal with the void creatures, and even the higher-ups on Meilan Star cannot contact him."
She paused for a moment and continued, "However, it's not without a solution. After our research, we now have three options. First, we can wait for the seal to break automatically. Now that you have obtained two keys, the seal's strength has weakened considerably. In addition, the G-gem is growing very quickly, so one day in the future, the seal will break automatically. Second, we can find that dean. Third, we can go to the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance, but there seems to be no other way."
After recounting this matter, Queen Raymond spoke at length with Li Chenglong about the void creatures and the relationship between the two planets, from which Li Chenglong benefited greatly. As she left, Queen Raymond produced a bottle of bright red liquid, saying, "This is my blood. We Rolandians may not be particularly strong in combat, but in terms of healing abilities, few in the entire universe can match us. With my blood, even if someone has only a breath left, I can revive them. I hope this helps you. Lena and my daughter Sera have already given you quite a bit, so I won't give you anything more. Stay in the imperial city tonight and set off again early tomorrow morning."
Before Li Chenglong could thank her, Raymond vanished. At that moment, the guard from before pushed open the door and entered: "Her Majesty the Empress has gone to rest. I will now take you to the rest room that has been prepared."
The next morning, Li Chenglong and Cynthia took a passenger spaceship back to Princess Sera's territory, and then boarded the fuel-laden Flying Dragon to fly towards the Interstellar Alliance headquarters in the center of the galaxy.
It's worth mentioning that besides Cynthia and her group of five, Li Chenglong was also accompanied by a high-ranking elf named Jasmine. She is said to be fluent in all the official languages of the Interstellar Alliance member states, and Queen Raimon specifically requested that she accompany him to help Li Chenglong complete his mission at the Interstellar Alliance headquarters.
