Chapter 550 Weapon Update
At 7:13 PM local time on July 10th, Li Chenglong, Yun Lan, and others arrived at Queen Raymond's castle on time. Raymond had just finished the meeting of the Grand Council of Roland Star and immediately summoned Li Chenglong and the others.
Yunlan had only seen Queen Raymond in brochures and large billboards before, so this was the first time she had seen the Queen in person, and she couldn't help but take a closer look.
Queen Raymond, dressed in magnificent attire, sat regally on her throne. She looked like a human girl of sixteen or seventeen, between 1.6 and 1.65 meters tall, but possessed all the curves of a mature woman, and were by no means small.
A cascade of long, purplish-red hair fell casually down her back. She wore a magnificent crown, her left hand rested casually on the armrest of the throne, and her right hand held a gorgeous staff that was a little over a meter long and emitted a faint glow of various colors.
She was dressed in a magnificent queen's gown, predominantly white with pink and gold accents, and had a red cape adorned with level 13 crystals.
Yunlan glanced at Zhao Liying with some surprise. Zhao Liying nodded slightly, indicating that this "young girl" was indeed Queen Raymond, who had ruled Roland Star for over 1500 years and was actually over 3000 years old.
Li Chenglong bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I have come to visit you with my wife Yunlan, my two younger sisters, and Zhao Liying."
Queen Raymond nodded slightly: "Please sit." Suddenly, several sections of the hall floor opened up, and seats extended from those openings.
Before Li Chenglong could speak, Raymond smiled and said, "I watched the competition between you, my three daughters, and the squad leader. I didn't expect that not only are you, Lord Li, very strong, but the people around you are also so powerful. Especially this Ms. Yunlan, I feel that her strength is definitely among the top on our Roland Star."
Li Chenglong stood up and bowed slightly, then said, "You flatter us too much. We still have a long way to go. Your Majesty, we have come here to ask you to reforge our weapons so that we can be more powerful in the battles to come."
Queen Raymond nodded: "Alright, take out your weapons." Yunlan then took out her Holy Spirit Spear and the spear given to her by Li Chenglong; Li Xue took out her Azure Staff and the staff her brother had given her; Zhao Liying also took out her Shadow Twin Blades and dagger. Han Xiaoling, however, didn't take out her weapon because she only had the precious bow given to her by her brother, which didn't need to be reforged this time.
Queen Raymond waved her hand, and six weapons flew to her, hovering and slowly rotating around her. After a minute, she spoke, "Do any of you three have any requests? You can make them now, and I will fulfill any request I can make for you."
Yunlan stood up first and said, "Your Majesty Queen Raimon, my only request is that the length of my Holy Spirit Spear be shortened. Right now, my Holy Spirit Spear is 2.3 meters long, which is really too long for me. I am 1 meters tall, and a spear that is 7 meters long would be enough for me."
Li Xue was the second to stand up and said, "My request is also to shorten the length of my staff. I am 168 centimeters tall, so the length of the staff should be the same as my height."
Zhao Liying concluded by saying, "I still want to use two swords. They don't need to be too long; 45 to 50 centimeters each is enough."
Queen Raimon nodded, understanding the three people's thoughts. Then she said to Han Xiaoling, "Little girl, give me your bow and arrows too. I've calculated that there should be some materials left after the weapon is reforged, so why don't we strengthen your bow and arrows again?"
"Really? Thank you so much!" Han Xiaoling was overjoyed, never expecting to have a part in the weapon's reforging and enhancement. Queen Raimon flicked her index finger, and Han Xiaoling's bow and arrow flew to her side. She checked the time: "I have to meet with representatives from Hailan Star and Meilan Star later, so you should go back first. I'll have someone deliver the weapon to you tomorrow morning."
After Li Chenglong expressed his gratitude, the five of them bowed in unison and left first. Queen Raymond stored all the weapons into her psionic space and began to devise ways to enhance them.
After the five of them left the castle, they relaxed. Out of respect for the Queen, Li Chenglong forbade them from running around or playing around inside the castle.
Han Xiaoling said happily, "I never thought my weapon could be enhanced, it's really great! And I feel that she is a very nice person, she has no airs at all, it's hard to imagine that she is an empress who rules over such a large planet."
Yunlan nodded: "Yes, I feel the same way. And I heard that Her Majesty the Empress is already over 3000 years old, but her appearance has not aged at all, and she still has the face of a young girl. I was wondering if we Awakened Ones will be like that after hundreds or even thousands of years."
Li Chenglong smiled and said, "I believe it will definitely happen. By the way, it's almost 15 p.m. now. Would you like to grab something to eat? It's on me." Li Xue took Li Chenglong's arm and said, "We went to a nice restaurant last night. They had very fresh exotic meat and vegetables. The taste was great, and it was very nutritious. Let's go to that restaurant."
Since a day and night on Roland Star lasts 36 hours, people generally eat at least four meals a day. These meals are at 10:00 AM, 5:00 PM, and 6:00 PM. Because the period from 6:00 PM to 10:00 AM is quite long, people often eat an extra meal in between, which makes up Roland Star's four meals a day.
As Yunlan walked, she said, "The day after tomorrow, Sister Shen and Chief of Staff Feng Tian will be returning to Roland Star on their fleet. Do you have any plans for this?"
After a moment's thought, Li Chenglong said, "Zhao Liying, you take four people from the Second Division, along with half of the special forces team, and have them leave with Shen Menghua and Feng Tian. We'll be leaving soon, so we won't need so many people here. Besides, having so many people leave with them will ensure their safety."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Let Wu Gang go with them too. The Dawn Army is at a critical juncture, and he, as the commander of the 1st Army, can't stay here forever. After Queen Raemon helps us reforge our weapons, we'll go to Hailan Star first, then to Meilan Star, and then we can return to Earth."
Afterwards, everyone went to the restaurant they had visited the previous night, had lunch together, and then returned to the villa. Having some free time in the afternoon, Li Chenglong and the others rented a hovercar and explored some of the famous attractions in Roland City. However, there were simply too many beautiful places to visit, so they could only visit two or three today.
The next morning at 11 a.m., just as Li Chenglong was about to leave, Princess Laura arrived with Cynthia, Alice, and other members of the royal guard. Their purpose was to deliver the newly forged weapons that Queen Raymond had completed the previous afternoon to Yunlan and the other three. After setting down the weapons, the princess and her companions exchanged a few words with Li Chenglong before departing.
After they left, Yunlan and the other three couldn't wait to open the large box containing the weapons. Yunlan took out her weapon, a spear that was 1.9 to 2 meters long, entirely fiery red, and engraved with golden phoenix-like patterns, making it exceptionally beautiful. Following her suggestion, she named this spear Phoenix.
Li Xue, Zhao Liying, and Han Xiaoling each took out their weapons, and as soon as they held them in their hands, they began to play with them with great delight. As for the names, they had already discussed them during dinner last night. Li Xue's staff would remain the Azure Staff, Zhao Liying's twin swords would be named Phantom, and Han Xiaoling's bow and arrows would be named Windbreaker.
Li Chenglong carefully examined the four weapons. Although they were still inferior to his own spear with the added dimensional alloy and Queen Raimon's scepter, they were more than 30% stronger than his previous weapons. Even if Yun Lan reached level 14, she wouldn't be unable to perform well because of the weapons.
