Chapter 541 New Weapons
As Li Chenglong and his entourage headed towards one of Queen Raymond's villas, Queen Raymond and her seven daughters arrived at an inner hall of the castle. This was a more private meeting place, and there were fewer formalities compared to the main hall.
Queen Raymond took her seat in the main seat, and the maids served her and the seven princesses refreshments and drinks before leaving. The eldest princess, Laura, spoke first, "Mother, is there anything else you need?"
After drinking something, the Queen waved her hand slightly: "It's nothing. Although the battle lasted a long time and some very powerful moves were used, there won't be any problems as neither side used their trump cards."
"Is he this powerful without even using his trump card?" Princess Sera thought to herself, but she certainly wouldn't voice her thoughts.
Princess Nami smiled and said, "Mother, judging from your expression, you seem to be very satisfied with this battle. But what I don't understand is why there are only a few level 14 powerhouses among the hundreds of planets in the Interstellar Alliance, yet such a strong person appeared in such an inconspicuous place as the Solar System."
The youngest princess, Nina, said, "Moreover, I have also seriously studied the planet Earth and found that the strong people there all grow up in a very short period of time. This is simply unimaginable for us. Take Lord Li as an example, he reached level 14 in less than 4 Earth years, while even if we Roland people have high potential, it often takes 100 cosmic years to reach level 9."
Queen Raimon, upon hearing this discussion, said, "This is indeed very strange, but with more and more special beings gathering in the universe right now, let's not think about those things for the time being."
She then took out Li Chenglong's Emperor Sword and Starry Sky Spear, and said to the Fourth Princess Amy, "Go and contact the Royal Smelting Factory later, and gather all the craftsmen. When I've recovered enough, I want to personally reforge these two weapons. Although Li Chenglong is strong, his weapons are a disadvantage. In order to better fight against special forces, I plan to improve his weapons."
She ate a cookie and continued, "In order to better fight against the special forces in our star system, I plan to temporarily entrust the management of Roland to the seven of you, each of you will be in charge of different matters. I hope you can work together to govern Roland well. This will also be a test for you. How well you do in your assigned tasks will be evaluated by me, the royal family, the council, and the ordinary citizens of Roland."
Queen Raymond chatted with her daughters about family matters for a while before letting them go. She then went to a room on the top floor of the castle, where there was a recovery pod specially made for her. With this, she could recover to her peak condition in a very short time.
The situation on Roland is somewhat similar to that on Earth, as it is also divided into different time zones. However, because it is much larger and its rotation speed is as fast as Earth's, it is divided into 36 time zones, with 36 hours in a day.
Li Chenglong woke up from his sleep and looked at the time on his watch. It was 8 a.m. local time in Roland City, but because the night was relatively long, it was still completely dark at 8 a.m.
In the time zone where Roland City is located, it is nighttime from 27 PM to 9 AM, and daytime from 9 AM to 27 PM. This is mainly because Roland's axis is vertical, so the planet has no spring, summer, autumn, or winter; the length of day and night is the same all year round.
Li Chenglong calculated that he went to bed at 32:00 and slept until 8:00, sleeping for a full 12 hours. It seems that although yesterday's battle did not completely deplete his energy, it still left him very tired.
Because Roland's days and nights are both very long, lasting 18 hours each, noon and midnight are the hottest and coldest times of day, respectively, especially in the equatorial region, which is the hottest place on Earth. Fortunately, Roland has an atmosphere quite different from Earth's, and the atmospheric alteration that has taken place on Roland over the past tens of thousands of years has made its environment increasingly habitable.
Another crucial point is that the atmospheric composition on Roland is very similar to that of Earth, but the gravity is 1.3 times that of Earth. This allows Li Chenglong and his companions to move freely on Roland without wearing special clothing. As for the extra 0.3 times the gravity, it's negligible for these advanced ability users.
In the following days, Li Chenglong and others attended several meetings on special forces jointly convened by the three planets. During this time, Li Chenglong also piloted the Flying Dragon three times to conduct reconnaissance of the special forces' gathering places in space, and transmitted back a lot of important intelligence and data.
Four or five days passed in this way. After applying to Queen Leimon and making arrangements with Hailan Star, Li Chenglong, Zhao Liying, and Sun Menghua traveled to Hailan Star on a passenger spaceship between the two planets.
The main purpose of this trip was to visit Teacher Lena, who was seriously injured and still in the recovery phase. After arriving on Hailan Star, Li Chenglong and his companions were guided to Juxing City, the capital of Hailan Star.
Juxing City is significantly larger than Roland City, and it has a much larger population. This is mainly because Hailan Star is larger in volume than Roland Star, and its population reaches over a billion, far exceeding Hailan Star's 3 million. Another factor is that Hailan Star's natural environment is not as favorable as Roland Star's; many areas are unsuitable for human habitation, leading to the formation of numerous settlements.
The three arrived at Ms. Lena's house. Her residence was luxurious, very large, and the building itself was elegant, with a touch of antiquity. Led by a maid, the three met Ms. Lena, who was dressed casually.
Li Chenglong first inquired about his teacher's health, then placed some gifts on the table. Upon learning the purpose of Li Chenglong's visit and the upcoming operation, Lena gave him high praise and affirmation.
She smiled and said, "My body hasn't fully recovered yet, so I might not be able to participate in this operation. But with you and Queen Raymond both at level 14, plus the full support of the three major planets, I'm sure we can wipe out the special forces."
The three didn't stay long, leaving two hours later. Before leaving, Teacher Lena gave Li Chenglong all the remaining Izamulite metal she had, a full 200 kg. Li Chenglong thanked her repeatedly and promised his teacher that he would definitely eliminate the special forces completely.
Upon returning to Roland City, Li Chenglong was summoned by Queen Raymond. The two met in the drawing room behind the castle. As soon as he entered, Li Chenglong noticed a long spear and a large, ornately decorated pistol on the table.
The Empress smiled and said, "These are two new weapons I created by fusing the Starry Sky Spear and the Emperor's Sword together and adding more precious materials. This spear is called the Star Shattering Spear, and this large pistol is called the Dragon's Roar. Both weapons are made of the same material. As for their performance, words alone don't give you a real sense of it; you'll have to figure it out for yourself in battle."
The Empress continued, "The Star-Shattering Spear, as its name suggests, is powerful enough to shatter a planet. However, the spear's capabilities go far beyond what its name can convey. The Dragon's Roar Pistol, on the other hand, symbolizes the spear's immense power, possessing the mighty power of the dragon from your ancient Chinese legends. But the name isn't that important; as long as it can fulfill its purpose, that's enough."
Li Chenglong took the two weapons from Queen Raymond and examined them carefully. The Shattered Star Spear was basically the same in style as the Starry Sky Spear, but it was heavier overall and he could feel the enormous energy it contained. The Dragon's Roar, on the other hand, had a gorgeous exterior and felt very substantial in his hand; it was a truly excellent weapon.
Just as Li Chenglong was about to express his gratitude, Queen Raymond stopped him with a gesture: "No need for thanks. If you want to show your gratitude, do it through battle. We just received a message from our space fleet that the special forces may launch an attack soon. We'll see how you perform then."
After chatting briefly for a while, Li Chenglong left. He planned to go to a secluded spot to practice his weapons before discussing special operations with his team.
