Chapter 226 The First Queen
In the banquet hall of the Star Casting Palace, Klein's welcome banquet had already begun. Many ministers were dressed neatly and gathered in groups of two or three. There were all kinds of novel and precious food and drinks, and musicians were on standby.
The banquet hall is very large and fully decorated. There are also many private rooms upstairs for important people who want to communicate privately.
The people present were all high-ranking officials of Guixing, and they were talking to each other. Klein stood aside with an indifferent expression, which was different from the past. He ignored everyone.
"Good day, Princess..." Someone came forward flatteringly, folding his hands on his chest. Horus slightly turned sideways, blocked in front of him, and said with a smile: "Good day, Minister Isuri."
Horus negotiated diplomatically on behalf of Klein. He was very graceful and his expression became very rich. From time to time, people came over to talk to him with a warm attitude.
Although the banquet was held to welcome Klein, it was more of a place for ministers to bond with each other.
However, the real big guys will not appear here. Only some senior ministers and royal family members will appear.
"Your Highness Alex..." The ministers made way and respectfully let the young man pass. He had an extremely handsome appearance, and the dark black dress made him look like a shining star.
He stopped in front of Klein and nodded:
"Teacher Horus..."
"Your Highness..." Horus said gently, "I am proud of your deeds in the Seven Northern Star Systems."
"Thanks for your teachings." Alex did not feel proud of Horus's praise. He turned his gaze to Klein and said, "Welcome back, the pearl of the returning star."
Klein now feels a deep-seated disgust when he hears this title, as if on his 30th birthday he found out that his gift was the QQ status he posted when he was 14.
She frowned slightly, not wanting to pay attention to her brother. Horus said at the right time: "Your Highness Alex, Your Highness Klein is not feeling well... Therefore..."
Alex's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with concern: "If you feel unwell, remember to check it out later. I won't bother you anymore."
Horus sent Alex away and continued to chat and laugh with the ministers around him.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
There was a crisp sound as the servants struck the golden cups and plates, attracting everyone's attention.
The noise around gradually died down and the ministers gathered together. This was not a formal occasion and there were not many strict etiquettes.
With long blue hair, solemn brows and dignified eyes, people subconsciously ignore her appearance. This is the Queen of Guixing - Vimala Yuk Asha.
The prestige of these iron-blooded queens is no less than that of the Emperor of Returning Stars, who is also known as the "Star Burial".
"Good day, Queen..." The ministers were very respectful to Vimala and waited quietly for the queen to speak.
Vimala looked around and finally fixed her eyes on Klein. She said slowly, "Welcome back, my child."
Vimala is the fourth queen of the ruler of Guixing and Klein's biological mother.
"Mother..." Klein naturally couldn't ignore Vimala. He walked forward and nodded to show respect.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Vimala forced a smile, which made Klein feel a little bit at a loss, even though Vimala was his biological mother.
But in fact, they didn't spend much time together, and Vimala didn't pay much attention to her. Now she held a party specially for her, which made her quite uncomfortable.
“This is what I should do.” Although he was not used to it, Klein responded respectfully.
"All the ministers are here for you. You must communicate with them properly." Vimala advised, with a hint of meaning.
Klein frowned slightly, but before he could respond, Vimala continued, "Sir Horus, please follow me. I have some questions about the Black Knight."
Horus' eyes flickered, but he looked at Klein first. The two looked at each other, and Klein nodded imperceptibly. Horus then replied, "Yes, Queen."
Vimala said a few polite words and talked with a few ministers for a while. Then she was surrounded by waiters and took Horus into a room in the banquet hall.
Alex in the corner was almost ignored, and Vimala seemed not to see the prince.
He swirled the scarlet liquid in the goblet, raised his head slightly, and the spicy liquid slid down his throat, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
Klein perked up, put on a delicate smile, and communicated with the ministers.
The strange thing was that the ministers seemed to have forgotten about the prince at this moment and only stood by Klein.
Entering the room, Horus ' attitude suddenly became strange. The alienation and reluctance disappeared instantly, and his eyes fell on Vimala, containing some emotions.
Vimala's voice remained calm and indifferent as she said to Horus, "Your plan was successful. Klein has completed the initial transformation. With a little more shaping and shaping, he should be barely qualified."
Horus took a deep breath and said, "Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? We should have enough time to guide Klein. If we rush like this, it is very likely that Klein will be forced to go to extremes."
As if thinking of something, Vimala's solemn face could not help but waver, and she whispered: "The king's death wave is approaching, and the institute can hardly restrain it. I don't have much time left."
"What?" Horus' pupils contracted, which was enough to prove how shocking the news was.
"How can it be so fast!?"
"The backlash of the Titan genes is too powerful." Vimala answered every question Horus asked, and the relationship between the two did not seem to be simple.
Horus was silent for a moment before continuing, "I understand how confident you are."
Vimala pondered and said, "Originally it was less than 30%. Now that Klein's personality has changed, it is 40%. Next, you have to make Klein trust you before you can continue to act."
“Klein has become somewhat distant from me, and…” Horus hesitated.
"An accident occurred?" Vimala frowned, a little surprised. There would be basically no accidents in Horus' plan, and even if there were, they would be wiped out.
This kind of hesitation is extremely rare in him.
"Li Yu..." Horus uttered a name, and in the sight that neither he nor Vimala could see, the big eyeball lying on top of Horus' head suddenly opened its eyes.
"Li Yu..." Vimala frowned: "Who is it?"
"Didn't you read the report I gave you?" Horus looked at Vimala with a somewhat unhappy look in his eyes.
"I saw it..." Vimala's eyes wavered for a moment, then she became firm again: "I just didn't look at it too carefully."
Horus: “…”
Horus briefly described the current situation, and Vimala's solemn face couldn't help but reveal a strange expression: "Klein wants that B-level life form to fight you? Really..."
"I don't think this is a bad thing. At least Klein already understands checks and balances." Horus shook his head.
"Then why did you let Edwin be hostile to him? Although Edwin loves Klein very much, he hates Klein's friends very much." Vimala said meaningfully:
"Your casual remark of 'Klein's friend' may have already made Edwin take it to heart."
Vimala knew this old friend well. He was a thoughtful person. With just a few words, she asked Edwin to help deal with Li Yu, completely exonerating herself.
Horus explained: "It's just a test for him. If he can't even pass Edwin, he is not qualified to be my opponent."
"Your opponent?" Vimala was speechless. "If he were a B-level life form, I'm afraid it would make him feel more comfortable if he were killed directly."
“No…” Horus shook his head. “He means something special to Klein and cannot be easily eliminated. Besides, there is also that A-level spiritual practitioner. We cannot act rashly before we understand his situation.”
Speaking of Mr. Pucha, Vimala was also a little excited: "Treat him as soon as possible. This is a great help and represents extraordinary significance. If he is willing to help, why not let Li Yu get some benefits."
An A-level spiritual practitioner from the Star Empire was persecuted and turned to Vimala. If word of this were to spread, it would bring her huge prestige.
Horus remained silent, his face looking very sad. Vimala calmed down slightly and added: "Don't think too much. You are the helper I rely on most."
Horus forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you get what you want - the first queen in the history of Guixing!"
Hearing Horus' words, a hint of excitement flashed across Vimala's solemn face. As for the waiters around her, they all lowered their heads, as if they heard and saw nothing.
…
"Hey...what are you thinking about?"
Max waved his hands in front of Li Yu. Ever since he allowed Li Yu to join the talent support program, this person has fallen into a trance and would not wake up no matter how he was called.
"What's wrong with him?" Max asked Edwin a little depressed.
"I don't know!" Edwin said in a bad tone, glaring at Max fiercely.
Max felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look Edwin in the eye.
"Your moral integrity and perseverance can be broken so easily?" Edwin gritted his teeth.
"Ha...haha...information is important, information is important..." Max defended himself: "Then you are the same. You sent him here in person. Aren't you trying to use the back door?"
"That's nonsense!" Edwin 's eyes seemed to spit fire. He rolled up his sleeves, as if he wanted to beat Max up.
"Hey! Don't come over here, I'm not afraid of you!" Max knew he was in the wrong and backed away repeatedly.
"...the first in the history of Guixing ..." Li Yu came back to his senses slowly. The surprise in his heart had not completely faded away. He repeated it subconsciously, said halfway, and swallowed the rest without realizing it.
"Wake up, wake up, that guy is awake!" Mark reminded hurriedly.
Edwin took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and turned to look at Li Yu who had just come back to his senses.
Max hurriedly walked up and complained: "What happened to you just now? You stopped responding halfway through your words. What have you thought about? Don't worry about retaliation. Guixing will protect you."
"I thought of something..." Li Yu answered perfunctorily. Horus mentioned his name and his big eyes reminded him, so he went to peek.
Unexpectedly, I got such big news. The identity of that woman is not difficult to trace. She can be easily found on Guixing’s interstellar network. She is the queen of Guixing.
The first empress in Guixing’s history, I don’t know whether she wants Klein to do it or to do it herself.
The most important thing is that after learning Horus’ attitude, he will not do anything to him in the short term, which makes Li Yu feel relieved.
"You are such a sissy. Are you capable of anything?" Max said. He felt depressed when he saw Li Yu was silent again.
"This..." Li Yu smiled: "Of course there is no problem." He reached out and took the information from Max's hand, uploaded it to the Internet, and made a backup.
How could he let go of the opportunity to promote Big Brother Anxing's reputation, and he could also use this incident to make some moves.
Dark Star probably didn't even realize that he would be shouldering such a huge blame.
However, once Anxing knew about this, he would instantly understand how Li Yu had destroyed his entire mothership, and he would also know that the virus was actually leaked from Li Yu.
But the key point is that Li Yu first pointed out that Anxing was the source. If Anxing pointed out Li Yu in turn, I am afraid that not many people would believe it.
Because no matter how you look at it, it looks like a desperate dog that is biting people indiscriminately.
Moreover, he wanted to use the [T-Virus Antidote] to gain sufficient benefits from Guixing, but under normal circumstances, this was difficult to achieve.
But he already had a vague plan in mind, but there were still some details to be filled in.
"That's great!" Max was overjoyed and pulled Li Yu to run out.
As long as he can prove that his journey into the unowned galaxy is not reckless, he won't have to stay here and collect dust. Clerical work is too boring, and the stars are his journey.
"Wait a minute..." Li Yu forcibly broke free from Max and did not move at all. This surprised Max a little. This guy... has such strong hands.
Li Yu was not in a hurry, and said: "I still have a doubt. If I go there without any evidence, will Guixing believe me?"
"They will believe it." Max smiled mysteriously. Edwin shook his head: "The key to the problem lies in your identity."
"We want to prove that the virus is related to the Star Empire, and use interstellar public opinion to force the Star Empire to come up with a solution."
"But this is almost impossible to prove, and pointing the finger at Dark Star is a good medium. Dark Star serves the Star Empire, and this is a well-known fact."
Max added: "Your identification of DarkStar... is perfect. If the bosses want to make the identification a reality, they will definitely use me. This is what I need."
This is not an era of war, but an era of peaceful development of civilizations. The Star Empire will be despised if it uses underhanded tactics.
Li Yu didn't expect that Max's purpose was this. He was still confused before. Without any evidence, how could he prove it to Max.
Unexpectedly, what Max wanted was not proof at all, but the support of the big guys.
However, there may still be some struggle involved. After all, Dark Star is just Dark Star, and its predecessor was the Plunderer. The Star Empire can completely shirk responsibility and know nothing about this matter.
"Today is Klein's welcoming party. Some military ministers may not be here. Let's go later." Edwin reminded.
"Tsk tsk... I almost forgot that our respected queen has quite the appeal." Max said with a puzzled look, and Edwin frowned and glanced at him.
"In that case, let's go collect your resource rations first." Max took the two of them to the resource distribution office.
