In the underground palace, the lights are bright, and there is no feeling of suffocation because of being underground.
The palace covers a large area, divided into many large and small rooms. Walking in it, Xu Sili couldn't help feeling that there was such a place in the palace, and he hadn't discovered it before.
A tense and heavy atmosphere permeated the underground palace. The people who stayed here were basically ordinary guards, and they rarely saw elemental masters.
Think about it, even Janice has been dispatched, not to mention these well-trained guards
Recalling what Janice said before she left, Xu Sili couldn't help but worry.
Even if it was just a phantom, he wanted her to be safe.
They followed Brenda and escorted the late emperor all the way to a room. The royal water healer who had treated Xu Sili and Si Sheng had moved here early.
Under the treatment of the water healer, the late emperor's voice quickly recovered, but his magic and physical strength were still overdrawn.
Just after being cured, Xilin ran in from outside.
Her eyes were red, and there was a faint red handprint on half of her cheeks. When she first ran in, her face was obviously worried and anxious, but when she saw her father, her expression immediately subsided.
After taking a few glances at the late emperor, he was probably sure that he was fine, so he snorted and ran away.
The man sat on the edge of the bed, coldly watching his daughter come and go, frowned, and looked at the water healer.
"Go and heal her."
The water healer didn't ask anything, and replied, "As per your order, Your Majesty."
After salute, he left the room.
When the late emperor sent Brenda and a few guards away again, only Xu Sili and Si Sheng were left in the room.
Xu Sili got down from Si Sheng's arms a long time ago and stood on the ground, watching the man's cold eyes swept over, he pursed his lips, and looked back happily and fearlessly.
"Little brat, you're not too brave."
The man smiled coldly, "Tell me, where did you get my son?"
"It's a bit complicated to explain."
Xu Sili lowered his eyes and said ambiguously, "We will leave tomorrow."
He didn't lie about this, and now he has spent another three hours safely, and there are still the last 23 hours before the end of the trial.
By the time…
Maybe the world will collapse? Or maybe it will continue to evolve
"Why should I believe you?" The man raised his chin, his lavender eyes exactly the same as his, with scrutiny and arrogance.
Xu Sili paused and said, "At least, we have no malicious intentions. You should already know about the battle that took place in the central square yesterday, right?"
He didn't believe in such a big thing, and with the character that the late emperor showed so far, he wouldn't have watched the video.
"My partner saved Princess Xilin and killed countless interstellar beasts. Our position is the same."
The little boy said slowly, the calm expression on his face was nothing like a five-year-old child, showing a sense of disobedience.
The man looked at him, raised his pale eyebrows, and then his eyes fell on Si Sheng again.
The teenager stood beside the little boy, protecting him with a guarding attitude. His gray-blue eyes were sharp and vigilant, like a dormant beast that could burst into harm at any time.
The man lowered his eyebrows and glanced at his wrist. Although he was healed by the water healing technique, it was not so easy to forget the feeling of being crushed to pieces just now.
With the current situation, if this kid breaks out, maybe no one in the palace can stop him.
The roar of the interstellar beasts outside has not stopped. Although he has just cleaned half of it, he has no magic power to release the second powerful attack.
The man pursed his lips and snorted softly.
"Okay," he said indifferently, "but if it's tomorrow, and Sinuo hasn't come back..."
He squinted his eyes, and the aura on his body increased to the extreme, making Xu Sili feel a little pressure.
"Whoa-" Si Sheng stepped forward and completely blocked Xu Sili behind him.
Facing the boy's icy eyes with murderous intent, the man froze for a moment, and then snorted coldly.
"Go away, don't get in the way here!"
Xu Sili did not leave, he asked, "Are you a sound element master?"
"something wrong?"
The silver-haired man sat in a dignified manner, the crown on his head had been removed, and his pale and weak face still did not detract from his beauty.
Looking at him like this, Xu Sili really had a hard time connecting him with those adult holographic games in the game cabin.
He paused for a moment and said, "As far as I know, after the natural disaster nearly a hundred years ago, there has been no more powerful elementalists in the Roland Empire."
"The only one, before graduating from the Elementalist Academy, didn't even reach the one-star level..."
With the strength just shown by the late emperor, he definitely reached the top two-star level, so Xu Sili did not connect the two.
However, seeing the subtle changes in the expression on the man's face, he was so blessed that he suddenly had a new guess.
No... The late emperor was the sound elementist, right? Didn't Vice President Chris say that after graduation, he went to the local guards
Xu Sili hesitated for a moment and asked directly, "Are you the elementalist?"
The man frowned, looking rather displeased, but did not deny it.
Xu Sili was a little dazed.
"Isn't it that the inheritance of the sound element system has not been passed down?" he asked.
The man smiled contemptuously, "So what? Who called this emperor a genius?"
Xu Sili stopped talking.
Although the only spiritual elementist after the natural disaster did not reach one-star strength before graduating from the academy, if he is really the late emperor...
If he can comprehend the offensive sound element technique without inheritance and no system assistance, then he is indeed a genius!
"Can you teach me?" Xu Sili asked, "That sound element skill just now."
The man lowered his eyebrows and looked at him coldly.
"Oh, something you don't know what it is, occupying my son's body, and now you want to learn skills from me?"
Xu Sili thought for a while, and said without blushing, "I am indeed Sino Rowland."
In the eyes of the man "I'll just watch you talk quietly", he continued calmly, "But I'm from the future of a parallel time and space, and I'm the eighteen-year-old him."
In a sense, Xu Sili is also a player.
In terms of his thirst for skills, he is absolutely superior, he wants his own attack skills too!
For this reason, even if I recognize the man in front of me as my father...
That is also a necessary means in extraordinary times!
But obviously, the late emperor did not believe it just because of his few words.
"I think if you want to make it up, you should make up a more reasonable one, parallel time and space? That's just a whimsical theory."
Because of the assistance of the Interstellar Alliance, it is obvious that the first emperor who was able to access the Star Network was not so ignorant.
He had this concept, and Xu Sili was relieved.
Looking at the man's eyebrows that seemed to contain frost and snow, he thought for a while, stepped back a little, hid behind Si Sheng, and stuck out a small head.
The silver-haired man looked at him for unknown reasons, and then he heard the little boy say calmly: "Not long ago, I inherited your game cabin."
Then, he lowered his voice and read out the names of the holographic games, his eyes fixed on the man's expression.
When reading two of the game names, he obviously saw the man's eyebrows tremble very slightly.
Seeing this, Xu Sili breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously he made the right bet, the late emperor was playing that kind of game at this time!
However, he doesn't seem to want to admit it.
"What game cabin? What nonsense are you talking about?" The man narrowed his eyes and refused to admit it.
Xu Sili had already made up his mind, looking at him with a somewhat strange look.
"Little bastard, what kind of eyes are you looking at?" The man raised his hand, but when he met Si Sheng's warning eyes, he took it back angrily.
He looked at Xu Sili, and Xu Sili looked at him.
The two faced each other for a long time, and the man's expression suddenly loosened, and he said, "Come over here."
Si Sheng's footsteps moved slightly, but he was glared at by the man, "Go away, little brat, I'm talking to my son, it's up to you?"
"… "
Si Sheng lowered his eyes and glanced at Xu Sili.
Xu Sili paused, and looked at the late emperor with some indescribable words.
Shit, he admitted it!
He really bought those holographic games!
The man was a little annoyed by what he saw, and stretched out his hand to pull him to his side. Xu Sili didn't resist, and Si Sheng didn't stop him either.
Forced to come to him, remembering that Xilin had just been slapped, Xu Sili thought that the late emperor was going to hit him, but found that he raised his hand and pressed his palm on top of his head.
His tense nerves relaxed, and he secretly looked up at him.
The silver-haired man lowered his eyes, his expression had calmed down, and his handsome and noble face was like a real god.
He whispered: "You inherited the game cabin?"
The little boy nodded.
"So... am I dead?" The man looked at him, his lavender eyes were clear, and there was a slowly emerging sadness.
"Did you inherit my seat?"
"So, Xenos and Sirin are also dead?"
Xu Sili was silent.
Xiandi... He is really too keen!
Not only did he see at first glance that he was not the original product, but he directly guessed so much key information based on just one sentence.
The man closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the emotions in his eyes had disappeared.
"Are you a sound element talent?" he asked.
Xu Sili nodded, "There is a problem with the talent testing method of the Elementalist Academy. I asked the emperor for meditation, and after learning it, I successfully absorbed the sound element."
The man's palm is still pressed against the top of his hair, this man's face is always cold, but his palm is warm.
He looked at the little boy.
"I didn't expect you to be the one who looks the most like me in the end."
Xu Sili pursed his lips.
He didn't know how to judge Sinuo's relationship with his family, and perhaps he was not qualified to judge.
Although Sinuo's upbringing is sympathetic, the decision to treason is also his own.
If you want to blame... blame the game group!
"So, can you teach me skills now?" Xu Sili forgot about Sinuo.
Now he is Sinuo, and Sinuo is him. He will shoulder the responsibilities that he should have shouldered, and he will not push away some benefits that can be won.
After all, these are also bargaining chips for him to settle down. The stronger he is, the better he can lead the Roland Empire.
"You said just now that you will leave tomorrow?" asked the late emperor.
"correct."
Xu Sili thought for a while and said, "Actually, this is one of our trials. When the time comes, if we are still alive, we can go back."
The Emperor's eyebrows trembled slightly, "If I die..."
"That's death." Xu Sili bit his lip, "We will die here."
Looking at his serious expression, the man slowly twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a bitter smile.
Xu Sili didn't say anything, waiting for him to digest the amount of information he just gave.
He couldn't understand the current mood of the late emperor, but he could roughly understand it.
Suddenly learning that after more than ten years, not only did he die, but his eldest son and second daughter also died. Everyone needs a little time to digest.
"What strength are you now?" he asked suddenly.
Xu Sili answered truthfully: "Two stars, but was suppressed during the trial."
"Eighteen years old, two stars."
The silver-haired man looked at him, and the indifference in his purple eyes had long since faded, "You are stronger than me, and you are stronger than your brother and sister."
Xu Sili, who has been recognized, is not very happy. He is not like Sinuo, who has always longed for the attention of his father.
If possible, he would like the Roland royal family to thrive.
Only he and Xiaoqiong were left, and it was still too miserable.
"You can't die here." The silver-haired man said solemnly, "The future empire... needs you."
Xu Sili nodded, seeing how he couldn't hide his grief, he thought for a while and said, "Actually, if I'm gone, there will be Qiong, but he's only ten years old now, so he's too young."
"Joan?" The man blinked.
"Half-brother." Xu Sili said expressionlessly.
The man was stunned, "Half mother... I'm married again?"
Xu Sili shrugged, "No."
The man was shocked again.
"I don't think now is the time to discuss your private life, and I don't know much about it."
Xu Sili said flatly.
"Did you promise to teach me skills?"
The man was obviously dissatisfied, and his voice sank slightly, "Is this your attitude towards the father?"
"First, according to the parallel space-time theory, you are not my father, and second..."
Xu Sili looked at his handsome face and decided to insert a knife, "After inheriting your game cabin, I feel that I can't face you like before."
The late emperor was obviously speechless.
"That... is just an occasional nerve numbing thing..." he muttered, not continuing the topic.
"Teaching can be taught, but you don't even have magic power now, how can you learn?"
"And..." he said, "everyone's situation is different, this is a skill I learned by myself, and it may not be suitable for you."
Elemental skills are divided into inheritable and non-inheritable types. Those that can be taught in batches in the Elemental Master Academy are simple inheritable skills.
And like some unique secret skills, they are very test of comprehension, many of them are unique skills, such as those mastered by Si Sheng.
Xu Sili also felt a headache, but went into Baoshan and returned empty-handed? How can this make sense
"Can you teach me principles and control techniques?"
He decided to take a compromise approach, "At present, all I have are auxiliary skills, and I am very unfamiliar with attacking skills."
How could Xu Sili miss such a good opportunity in the face of a powerful sound element teacher who was willing to give him guidance
He told the late emperor all the difficulties and confusions he had encountered for so long.
Although the two were of the same level, Xu Sili was matured by the game system, while the late emperor relied on himself to cultivate to the second star.
His perception and knowledge reserves are completely incomparable with the previous emperor.
After knowing that he was his future "son", the attitude of the late emperor changed a lot, and he answered his questions patiently.
Although, it is inevitable to ridicule two sentences in the middle, such as "How can you not even know such a simple question?", such as "Are you really a two star?".
Although Xu Sili was unhappy, he accepted it honestly, and decided to go to the academy to read some basic books after he went back.
Although the experience system is convenient, many things do not mean that the level is high, and the learning process should not be lazy.
Seeing the late emperor patiently teaching him, and then looking at Si Sheng, who was also listening attentively, Xu Sili had a whim, called up the shooting system, and filmed the scene.
They count as... have they met their parents
This thought flashed in his mind, Xu Sili's ears were slightly warm, he shook his head hurriedly, put away all the distracting thoughts, and listened carefully.
The interstellar beasts outside were still bombarding the protective barrier.
According to Brenda's report, the attacks of the interstellar beasts were mainly concentrated in the inner city. After yesterday's small-scale battle, when the interstellar beasts attacked, most of the residents in the city had already hid in the basement.
And the people who didn't have time to escape, under the protection of the army and the palace guards, entered the palace's guardian circle to take refuge in an emergency.
The battle in the city is mainly based on assistance, and the soldiers of the army try to avoid fighting with the star beasts.
After all, the house can be rebuilt, and when a person dies, there is nothing left. At this point, the commander's mind is still very clear.
By this evening, the aid operation in the city had basically ended, and the leader of the team, the First Prince Xenos, also returned to the palace.
There may be individual scattered people in the city, but there is no other way.
because…
There are more and more interstellar beasts.
After being emptied by half by the late emperor, their numbers were slowly replenished, and by the evening, it was almost the same as in the morning.
"How come there are so many interstellar beasts?"
I have been observing the guards outside, all of them looking solemn.
Because it's abnormal, these interstellar beasts are like crazy, attacking tirelessly from morning to night, making people heart-pounding.
If it goes on like this, the guardian circle may not be able to support it for too long...
Xu Sili understood that this was a trial test.
Although it is temporarily safe, this psychological torment is equally uncomfortable.
The only consolation is that Janice has returned safely. Although she is injured, there is a water healer and she cannot die.
The night is getting darker.
It has been less than 12 hours before the end of the trial.
They stayed in the underground palace, Xu Sili wanted to race against time to study with the late emperor, so he and Si Sheng shamelessly stayed in his room.
During the period, Xenos came over.
He still looked cold and distant, but compared to the late emperor, Xu Sili felt that it was really good that he didn't grow crooked.
As a result, when he was about to leave, Xenoston paused and called him to the door with the late emperor behind his back.
With Si Sheng present, Xu Sili was not afraid of him.
Looking at the seemingly gentle, but actually cold big brother in Sinuo's memory, he waited to see what he wanted to say.
However, Xenos squatted down in front of him in silence, and gently pulled up his short hand.
A silver bracelet was fastened to his wrist.
Xu Sili was slightly stunned, and looked at him for unknown reasons.
However, Xenos lowered his eyebrows, his long light eyelashes covered the look in his eyes, and he only focused on tying the bracelet for him.
"This bracelet can release water healing three times."
After he was finished, he said softly, "I don't know how long it will last for the guardian circle. Then stay by the father and your little friend, and don't run around."
After speaking, he stood up and seemed to be ready to leave.
Xu Sili never expected that he would give him such a precious thing.
"What about you?" He should need it more than he does.
Xenos glanced at him strangely, "I am a water elementalist, and I have mastered the water healing technique, so I don't need this."
"Nasi... What about the second imperial sister?" he asked again.
"She already has."
Xenos said calmly, "Take it, when you are seriously injured, it will automatically cast the water healing technique to help you heal the injury."
"Any other questions?"
Xu Sili looked at him indifferently and shook his head.
"I'm leaving."
After Xenos finished speaking, he really lifted his foot and left.
Xu Sili looked at his back, stroked the extra bracelet on his wrist, and his mood became worse again.
Killing hearts.
This trial is just too fucked up.
Turning around silently, he saw that Si Sheng came to him at some point.
Xu Sili pursed his lips.
He watched the boy crouch down, open his arms to him quietly, and look at him tenderly.
Xu Sili couldn't bear it any longer, took two steps forward, took the initiative to run over and hugged his neck, burying his little face in his neck socket, only after he comforted him did he feel less heavy.
In the room, the silver-haired man slowly retracted his gaze and sighed inaudibly.
At night, the underground palace is still lit up.
This night, countless people lost sleep, and under the shadow of the flying interstellar beast, almost no one could sleep peacefully.
Xu Sili did the same.
When the sky was slightly lit up with fish belly white, he fell asleep in a trance under the erosion of sleepiness.
However, I didn't sleep much. In about half an hour, the nightmarish news came in from the guards outside. After all, the guardian circle had cracks in the crazy bombardment of the star beasts, and the cracks were getting bigger and bigger. trend.
The late emperor quickly ordered everyone in the palace to move underground for refuge.
However, things did not end that simple.
Three hours before the end of the trial, the floor of the underground palace was cracked.
Looking at the interstellar beast emerging from the ground, Xu Sili knew that the difficulty of the trial had officially changed from hard mode to hell mode.
