Chapter 391 Return to Base
"As you know, I just came back from Amethyst. Many people are paying attention to me. I also have some sequelae from the war. So give me some time to think about it..."
Li Yu said it tactfully, but he did not refuse. He still expected the queen to help him withstand the pressure from Titus, so he had to give her face.
So he used external danger and his own condition to temporarily delay Vimala.
Vimala looked at Li Yu with deep eyes. If it was an external danger, she could send someone to escort him, but if there was a problem with Li Yu himself, it would be more troublesome.
"Is it because of the burst of strength?" she asked.
All forces are guessing what methods Li Yu used to unleash that level of combat power.
Although there is no specific information, it is undoubtedly a trump card with great cost.
"Hmm..." Li Yu nodded, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "There are too many enemies, and they are much stronger than me, so there is nothing I can do."
What Vimala wanted to ask was how much price Li Yudi paid and whether it would affect his future combat effectiveness and potential.
This is closely related to Li Yu's value, but she knows that Li Yu is unlikely to tell him the truth.
But judging from the other party's attitude of resistance, the price he paid was probably similar to what the outside world speculated, and would bring serious sequelae.
Thinking of this, Vimala's original eagerness to train Li Yu suddenly faded a lot. What he wanted was a still strong Li Yu, not a sickly one.
It seems to be a good idea to leave him in Guixing and observe him carefully for a while, this idea emerged in Vimala's mind.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to win over a powerful A-level life form, it will take a very long time and make a detailed plan.
From his personal preferences to relatives and friends, he has to erode them step by step to pull the other party into his camp.
It is rare to see such brutal means as the one Vimala used to win over Li Yu. This was mainly because of the existence of Klein, which made the interests of the two people consistent in some aspects.
That's why Vimala didn't want to waste time, but if she acted too eager, she would lose her dignity, so it would be better to wait.
After considering all aspects, she paused for a moment and said:
"In that case, you should take a rest for a while. Your investiture ceremony and military appointment should be announced in two days."
Vimala's change of attitude did not surprise Li Yu, but he did not expect that this beautiful young woman would let him go so easily.
I thought it would take two or three more rounds before Vimala would reluctantly retreat.
The two chatted about some serious matters, mainly concerning the finishing work of the Amethyst Civilization .
Soon a maid came to Vimala. Although she didn't say anything, Vimala still asked Li Yu to leave first.
After Li Yu left, she returned to her seat with a solemn expression and asked the maid to turn on the holographic screen.
…
After leaving the palace, someone led him away, but they did not leave the Star-Forging Palace, but went in another direction.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and found that this road was quite familiar, so he simply did not speak and quietly followed the waiter in front.
They soon arrived in front of Klein's palace. The female guard in front of the door had obviously been notified in advance and took the initiative to open the door for him.
"It seems like someone has changed..." Li Yu muttered as he glanced at several heroic female guards.
Going up to the second floor, Klein was sitting at the table with his head down, seemingly looking up some information. His quiet appearance made Li Yu feel dazed.
He had just spoken to Vimala, and the two were so alike in some ways, but their temperaments were completely different.
“Here I come…” Klein didn’t even raise his head. His black hair fell from his ears, forming a sharp contrast with his pale face.
"Sit..." A slender finger pointed to the seat, and Li Yu sat down without hesitation.
"What did the queen say to you?" Klein politely addressed Vimala as the queen, and the alienation in his tone was obvious.
"She asked me to go to No Man's Land." Li Yu sat casually on the chair with a lazy tone.
"Hmm?" Klein raised his head and looked at Li Yu's unfocused expression, frowning slightly.
"The Borderlands is very dangerous. Teacher Horus is almost unable to hold on and has requested support many times."
Li Yu nodded: "I know that too. Besides, I have sequelae, so I haven't agreed to the queen yet."
“Aftereffects?” Klein seemed a little nervous and anxious. He asked, “What kind of aftereffects… Do you want to go to the research base for a checkup…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Klein's face flushed a little, as if he felt that what he said was inappropriate. He bit his lip again and said, "You are now a signboard put up by the top management, and you cannot afford to make mistakes."
Li Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but I know my own body, there is no big problem."
"That's good..." Klein's eyes flickered, not daring to look Li Yu in the eye, and changed the subject: "Why is it temporary? Does the Queen have to let you go to the No Man's Land?"
"Yeah..." Li Yu sighed, "The queen told me to go get some credit and make some achievements. With Horus watching over me, nothing will go wrong, so she can continue to promote me."
"It seems to be about why things are being prepared..."
His mind was unclear, and at the same time he was staring at Klein's expression, wanting to know Klein's attitude towards the matter.
Hearing this, Klein frowned and sighed silently, "In fact, she wants me to control Guixing and become the queen of Guixing."
"Oh..." Li Yu had known about this for a long time and his reaction was indifferent.
"You... guessed it? Or did the queen tell you?" Klein looked at Li Yu, who had a flat reaction, and asked puzzledly.
You know, even she was shocked when she first learned about this.
But Li Yu didn't react at all, as if he had known about this for a long time.
"The queen did hint to me that Your Highness is beautiful and kind-hearted, and is the perfect choice for the queen..." Li Yu explained casually.
“What nonsense are you talking about…” Klein said unhappily, “Being a queen is a very serious matter and has nothing to do with appearance.”
Although he said this, Klein's slightly raised mouth showed that he was in a good mood.
But then, as if she had thought of something, she shook her head and said, "She wants me to become the queen just for herself..."
This involves an unspoken rule. In the interstellar era, there is no clear stipulation that only male descendants can inherit the throne.
However, the rulers of Guixing have always been men, and this has become the default rule for everyone.
Even with the current open atmosphere in the interstellar world, if Klein becomes the queen, it will probably make the returning citizens feel somewhat uncomfortable.
This is the case when Klein is eligible for inheritance. If Vimala forcibly seizes power, it will not just be ordinary citizens who will be unable to adapt.
It is the rule that after the death of the supreme ruler, the successor is chosen from the line of succession.
What are you doing jumping out like this, queen?
It would be much more difficult for Vimala to become the queen than for Klein, so she could only nominate Klein.
And when Klein really becomes the queen, based on her understanding of her mother, there will probably be follow-up events.
Klein gave a brief explanation, but Li Yu remained calm. The royal family is ruthless, and this will never change no matter in which world or under what ideology.
However, these things have little to do with him for the time being. He is at most a big chess piece and cannot play a decisive role.
The two chatted for a while, and Klein complained implicitly that Li Yu rarely contacted her when he was away.
Li Yu told Klein about the collusion between the Ark of Savior and Alexi.
"Alexei is hiding so deeply?" Klein was a little surprised. Normally, she and Alexei had a good relationship.
As a result, Alexei turned around and was about to attack Li Yu.
“I’ll keep an eye on him…” Klein’s eyes flickered, and he had obviously made a note of Alexei in his little notebook.
Klein suddenly remembered and reminded, "...By the way, the person you want has been sent to your base, as well as the field team."
Is it Ramon? They arrived so quickly. Li Yu said he knew that Ramon was already in Guixing territory, so he could return to the central galaxy very quickly.
Li Yu did not stay here for long. He prepared to go back to pack up and go to the logistics department to get materials.
Compared to chatting with Klein, he was more interested in building the Death Star.
Klein's face was hesitant, but when Li Yu was about to leave, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Have you contacted the mermaid princess recently?"
Li Yu paused and turned his head in surprise: "Mermaid Princess?"
He thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, we haven't been in touch for a long time."
Klein seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and looked much better. She asked someone to send Li Yu out, and she closed the page on the screen.
#ScarletStorm: The story that the Baron and the Mermaid Princess have to tell.
Turning his head to look at the magnificent palace, a slight smile appeared on Li Yu's lips.
In fact, the Mermaid Princess was the first to express her concern after the news of his incredible achievement spread.
The two chatted for a long time, but there was no need to let Klein know about such trivial matters.
After leaving the Star Casting Palace, the atmosphere outside was still very lively, with a large number of projection banners falling on the end of the aircraft in mid-air.
The slogans are basically all related to Li Yu, including the Great Mermaid Conqueror, Legendary Princess Knight and other outrageous slogans.
Every major event is a carnival of public opinion, and many people who like to have fun will appear in it.
The atmosphere among most civilizations is relatively open, and there is almost nothing that cannot be discussed.
It’s just that when it comes to certain important figures, everyone will involuntarily restrain themselves.
Li Yu didn't care about those outrageous slogans. He changed his appearance and quietly returned to his experimental base.
…
"Is Uncle Li Yu coming back today..." Keller walked back and forth in the hall, muttering:
"His blood must have become more fragrant, but unfortunately... that devil won't let me touch it, and I can only drink some specially prepared drinks every day..."
“How abominable…”
Tu Ying sat silently on the large chair, staring at the holographic screen that was playing the scene of Li Yu's return, his eyes filled with hidden expectations.
Sinai had a gentle smile on his face, his upper body seemed even more majestic, and no one knew what he had eaten secretly.
As the gate of the base opened, everyone in the hall knew that Li Yu was back.
"Uncle, you're finally back!" As soon as Li Yu walked into the hall, he saw a bloody shadow rushing towards him and falling into his arms.
“It smells so good…it smells so good…it smells so good…” Keller rubbed it hard with his nose, with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Get out..." Li Yu frowned and grabbed the little kid by the neck and pulled him out of his arms.
If others saw him, they would think he was a pervert.
Keller threw it away and fell to the ground, still looking intoxicated. What a nice smell... blood... what a nice smell... I want to drink a sip...
This little guy is hopeless, Li Yu was speechless, and then another black shadow suddenly jumped out and stood in front of him.
"Wow... It's been such a long time since we last met, and you've grown so tall." Li Yu looked up at the silent Tu Ying and pinched his muscular muscles.
He was quite satisfied with Tu Ying's calm personality. When he occasionally thought of that bastard Tu Rui, he still felt confident.
"Just reached 2.5 meters." Tu Ying said sullenly.
"His vitality is comparable to some C+ life forms, not bad..." Li Yu nodded with satisfaction. As a five-blood troll, Tu Ying has enormous potential.
However, potential is one thing, and personal efforts are another.
If Tu Ying doesn't work hard, no matter how great her potential is, she won't be able to realize it.
Obviously, Tu Ying did not fall behind in training during this period.
"You are still a long way away." Tu Ying shook his head.
"Want to catch up with me?" Li Yu couldn't help but laugh. He wanted to pat his head, but found that he couldn't reach it. Fortunately, Tu Ying squatted down tactfully.
Li Yu then joked: "Young man, your ideal is good, keep it up!"
Sinai had been waiting by the side, holding a glass of milk. This was a regular feature. Li Yu took a sip and his eyes lit up: "Not bad, it seems to taste better. "
Sinai smiled even more and said softly, "My special ability is also gradually developing, which can make the food taste more perfect."
"Not bad... not bad..." Li Yu glanced down and praised.
His army of superpowers is in training, and Li Yu plans to transform them all with the Force to forcibly improve their combat effectiveness.
He always felt it was a pity to save himself from gathering dust in the base all day.
However, there is a drawback after the Force transformation, which was discovered by Stanley and others during this period.
The Force has transformed their bodies beyond recognition, making it difficult to become stronger through other means.
While Sinai lowered his head and worked, he whispered:
"A few days ago, several people came to see you. They were very respectful. Even though I told them that you hadn't come back yet, they still didn't want to leave. I arranged for them to stay in the reception room, and they have been waiting for several days."
"Yeah, I know." Li Yu took the small dessert she prepared.
Sinai's special powers can give food unique effects and also enhance its taste.
