Roland's original border.
In the underground cave, the bonfire was burning, and the hind legs of a long-eared beast were grilled on the fire, and the grease seeped out, dripping on the flame and making a crackling sound.
An alluring aroma of meat emanated, making Xi Lin, who had been in a coma for two days, even more hungry.
Brady removed the roast, then cut off the tenderest parts with a dagger, diced the meat on a plate, and handed it to her.
The plate is the earth element master Abner, who uses the earth element to synthesize the porcelain plate, not only tableware, but also this underground cave is his masterpiece.
Three years ago, no, it's been four years since this winter. When they hid in this place, it was just a cave that could barely fit in. After Brady rescued Abner, he started to carry out the work on the cave. Retrofit.
Apart from the dark and dank nature of the underground environment, the structure of this underground cave is similar to that of an ordinary house.
It's just that all kinds of living facilities are inevitably rudimentary, and this is something that can't be helped.
Xilin took the barbecue and devoured it.
Having lived in the army all the year round, and lived a primitive life in the wild for three or four years, she has long forgotten the etiquette of the princess, and some are just the will to survive carved into her bones.
Even if she is in a bad mood and can't eat anymore, she has to replenish her physical strength. She has no right to be willful now.
When she ate all the barbecued meat, a bowl of hot soup was handed over.
Xilin was not polite. She took a sip of the hot mushroom soup and felt that the cold and exhaustion all over her body had been dissipated. However, the big stone on her heart could not be put down.
She poured the hot soup in one breath, wiped her mouth, and then looked at Xenos who was sitting in a wheelchair next to her.
"Brother, do you believe what that little thing said?"
She stared at him and asked.
Xenos frowned, without words, still thoughtful in his expression.
At this moment, the communicator in Xilin's hand has been removed and placed in her room, in order to avoid the little robot that sneaked into her communicator.
Sirin naturally knows about robots, and the Star Alliance has assisted them.
As long as these iron lumps are given enough energy and the relevant programs are set, they will work hard and follow the instructions.
In Xilin's cognition, it was similar to the legendary alchemist's puppet, but the little guy who ran into her communication device subverted her cognition.
That little robot has no entity, only an image, it exists in the communication device, and the character and behavior it shows are just like a real human child.
She even felt that who played the role of this self-proclaimed "Little Five" robot.
However, there is no signal at all here.
The base stations on the border were all destroyed by interstellar beasts, and their communication devices could not be used for communication, otherwise they would not completely lose contact with the imperial city.
This also ruled out the possibility of someone remotely controlling her communicator and playing the role of this little robot.
"Aliens have countless strange civilizations, maybe it is a special kind of alien life."
At this moment, Xenos said softly.
"Brady, go and get Xilin's communication device, I want to talk to that little guy again."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Halfway through the speech, Xilin, who had been in a coma for two days, almost fainted from hunger. Xenos stopped the conversation, left her communication device in the room, and went to the hall to eat together.
Apart from the three of them now, only Abner is awake, and there are two other ordinary warriors and a gold-type warrior, all resting in their respective rooms.
After Brady left, Xilin looked at Sinos again and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, did you hear it just now? That little guy said...Sino inherited the throne..."
Her eyes misted again.
In fact, just now she was too hungry to stand still, or because of her own guesses, only she knew.
Xenos nodded, his light-colored eyelashes drooped down, hiding the look in the bottom of his eyes, but the sadness and pain shrouded in his body was like reality, making people feel heavy.
Abner, who was sitting on the side, looked at him and then at Xilin, and finally he didn't dare to say anything and lowered his head in silence.
Your Highness Sinuo...
He recalled the third highness, but found that he had no impression at all.
His Royal Highness, who has no talent for elements, has lived in a secluded palace since childhood and rarely appeared in front of people, and he never saw him when he was in school in the imperial city.
The throne... originally belonged to the eldest prince.
This is a sure thing. With the talent and reputation of His Royal Highness Xenos, as well as His Majesty's favor and trust, no one will doubt that he is incompetent.
If there was no catastrophe-like beast tide, if the body of the eldest prince... Abner raised his head again and glanced at Xenos, his heart filled with regret and regret.
But... they don't know if they can go back alive, what's the use of thinking about it
Abner shook his head without thinking any further.
At this time, Xenos had spoken again, and he said, "Joan is still young, and Sinuo's age is more suitable."
"You know that's not what I'm talking about..."
Xilin bit her lip, and when she looked up and saw her brother's fragile expression, she couldn't help but stop talking.
Xilin knew that Xenos didn't care about the throne at all. His sorrow and pain were all because... He guessed it like her, but he didn't want to face it.
At his father's age, it's not yet time to abdicate... Why rush to pass the throne to Sinuo
Thinking of that possibility, she felt a pain in her heart, and a strong grief eroded her, but at this moment, looking at her brother's state, she didn't dare to say any more.
She promised to protect her brother... How could she seek his comfort in return? There may be an accident with the father, she has already made such psychological preparations, hasn't she
At least, Sinuo is still alive, and Roland is still there. This is the best news.
Xilin took a deep breath, wiped her eyes, and tried to adjust her emotions.
"Well, Sinuo is indeed more suitable."
She twitched the corners of her mouth hard and said with a smile.
Xenos looked at her, and finally stretched out his only left hand, and gently touched the top of her hair, just as his father often did to her when he was a child.
Xilin almost couldn't hold back anymore.
She took his hand and squeezed it tightly, then stood up and walked to the side, sitting with her back to him and Abner, not turning around even when Brady came back.
Brady didn't seem to notice, he turned on the communicator and projected the image that Sirin had taken before.
He cleared his throat and said deliberately, "It's still so ugly..."
"You say it again!"
Before he could say a word, the image of the little robot appeared on the light curtain. It stuck its waist and roared at him angrily.
Brady stopped talking for a moment. He just wanted to excite the little robot, but it would run out on its own. Of course, he would not excite it any more.
"Little five."
Xenos called it softly.
The little robot was immediately distracted, and turned to look at him: "Yeah! I'm here."
Xiao Wu has a very good impression of Xenos, because he looks very similar to his favorite brother, and it makes him feel friendly when he looks at him.
"Brady is kidding you, don't be mad."
Xenos's voice was very gentle and soft-spoken, which made Xiao Wu feel particularly useful.
It nodded, patted its chest and said, "His eyes are not good, Xiao Wu doesn't have the same knowledge as him!"
Then he said curiously, "You haven't told me yet, how did you know my brother? And who are you? Why is she chasing our spaceship?"
He was forced to interrupt halfway through speaking just now, but Xiao Wu was suffocated.
Although it is only a clone, it also has a similar intelligence to the main body, and it is even more lively and childish.
Intuition tells it that these people have an extraordinary relationship with his brother, and his brother will definitely want to see them.
It's going to prepare a big surprise for my brother!
Under the eyes of the little robot's flashing electronic eyes, Xenos's originally heavy and sad mood seemed to relax a little, and he said, "I am Xenos Roland."
Then he introduced Celine and Brady.
"So you are my brother's..."
Xiao Wu recalled the relationship between human beings and said, "Brother and sister?"
As for Roland's historical materials, although there are not many left on the Internet, there are still introductions to the members of the royal family, so Xiao Wu knows their names.
"But aren't you dead?"
Xenos's eyes dimmed, and he whispered: "Yes, we didn't die in the beast tide..."
He explained to Xiao Wu a little about what happened that year and their situation.
"So we have no way to get in touch with Roland, and we can't get your news. When Xilin discovered your spaceship, she was on impulse and chased after him..."
With just a few words, it was impossible for the little robots to understand how they gritted their teeth, overcame all difficulties along the way, and supported each other.
But judging from the information it has so far, the probability that Xenos is not lying is much higher than lying, so it chooses to believe him.
Xiao Wu nodded ignorantly, and then said with emotion: "Fortunately, my sister didn't catch up with us, otherwise it might have turned into fireworks."
"fireworks?"
Xilin, who had calmed down, walked back and heard the little robot say this to her, which was strange.
"Yeah!" Xiao Wu said, "I thought it was the bad guys from Baywat who were chasing us, and they almost fired."
"It was later found that the distance was too far, and the surrounding magnetic field interference was too serious, there was no way to locate it, so I had to sneak into your communication device while you were connected to our spacecraft's signal."
Xilin listened to its explanation and couldn't help but startled.
So she almost got killed
"Sister, don't chase the spaceship in the future, it's very dangerous." Xiao Wu said earnestly in a cute childish voice.
Xilin was a little confused, but finally nodded in response, as for its name, she did not correct it.
She had too many questions in her heart to ask, and finally, she still asked the most urgent one first.
"So, can't you contact Sinuo now?"
The little robot's electronic eyes dimmed, and it said a little depressedly: "Yes, there is no signal, I can only stay in this communication device..."
The communicator is the size of a bracelet, and its range of activities is much smaller than that of its main game cabin, not to mention the network systems of the five major cities of the Roland Empire.
Comparing it with Xingwang, it is completely incomparable.
Hearing this, several people present were a little disappointed.
However, Xilin had already guessed it, and she didn't stay low for too long, and continued to ask about other things.
"Tell us more about Snow, and... How is Roland now?"
This is also another question they most eagerly want to know, but since they can regain the spaceship, the situation in Roland should not be as bad as they thought, right
Xiao Wu is very talkative and willing to answer their questions.
"Roland is very good. Now the five main cities have built teleportation arrays, and they can communicate with each other. I feel that the network signal is much better."
Xilin frowned. Five main cities
"You mean... Roland has only five main cities left now?"
"right."
"Can't communicate before the five main cities?"
"Yes, the outside of the city is occupied by interstellar beasts. It is very troublesome to go to other cities, but my brother sent someone to build a teleportation array, and now it only takes a few minutes to travel between the main cities."
The two talked back and forth. Under the guidance of Xilin, Xiao Wu quickly explained Roland's situation.
When she knew that the five main cities were preserved under the protection of the guardian circle, Xilin clenched her fists tightly.
The opening conditions of the guardian circle... The father told her and her brother that it was only used when it was a last resort, and the price of opening...
She forced herself to stop thinking about it.
Now she is not qualified to collapse.
"Sino turned out to be really successful." Xi Lin talked about other things, diverting her attention.
"He once asked me to teach him meditation, but he didn't expect him to persevere and break through himself."
"Yes! Brother is amazing!"
Xiao Wu said, "He is now Roland's most powerful elemental master besides Si Sheng! And my brother has also found a way to lift the star limit of elemental masters, isn't it awesome?"
Xiaowu is an artificial intelligence, and it has nothing to do with lifting the restrictions on the elemental master. It just wants to brag about its own brother.
Sure enough, after it said so, the four elementalists in front of them all showed expressions of surprise and stunned expression.
"Can you tell me in detail?" Abner couldn't help but ask.
This is really surprising!
Of course, they sensed the release of the star, and during this time, everyone has been improved a lot, and Xilin has directly improved the strength of the half star.
It's just that they never imagined that this matter turned out to be His Highness Sinuo... No, it should be called His Majesty Sinuo now.
"How did your majesty do it?" Abner respectfully asked.
If he had just been prejudiced by his past knowledge when he learned that His Royal Highness the Third Prince had succeeded to the throne, with just a few words from Xiao Wu, Abner had completely changed his mind!
Three-star strength, lifting star restrictions, building a cross-city teleportation array... Each of these items is a feat that can be recorded in the annals of history!
For his question, Xiao Wu's answer was a little vague.
This is my brother's secret. Of course, it will not be said in a foolish way. It is only Xu Sili's words to fool others.
Xilin was originally curious about Si Sheng, the first powerhouse in Xiao Wu's mouth, who was a character she had never seen before, but now she was attracted by Xiao Wu's words.
"The lifting of the star limit...is it related to Roland's national strength?" she murmured, "Isn't Roland strong enough four years ago?"
Before being destroyed by the beast tide, Roland, it took them hundreds of years to re-establish the empire on the ruins, is it not enough
"It's not that it's not enough, it's that you don't know the ceremony to lift the seal."
Xiao Wu looked at her strangely, "A strong national power is only a prerequisite, and the most important thing is the ceremony to lift the seal!"
"Now my brother is stuck at three stars again. He said that he must continue to develop Roland and lift the second layer of restrictions as soon as possible before he can break through to four stars."
"Four stars..."
Xilin was a little shocked, four-star strength, that was something she never dared to imagine before, and even she was still struggling with two-and-a-half stars, and Sinuo...
He is already working hard for four stars!
Xi Lin couldn't help but feel a bit of pride in her heart. She was proud of her younger brother's growth and was also inspired.
Sinuo, he didn't let her down.
When Roland was most in danger, he carried everything and achieved such a great achievement, which really made her feel relieved and distressed.
He must have suffered a lot, right? I don't know if they, sister and brother, will have a chance to meet again in this life...
The arrival of Xiao Wu has made the atmosphere of the underground cave more and more heavier, a little bit more relaxed, and the group of people who were already in despair has regained hope.
"My brother went out to pick up a few teachers in a spaceship, and when he returns, he will continue to clear the interstellar beasts."
Xiao Wu went on to talk about the battle that took place on the Lihai Plain. When he mentioned the results of the battle, everyone was surprised, even Sinos, who had always been calm, was unavoidably surprised.
In seven days, two-thirds of the land in the Lihai Plain was recovered without damage, and millions of interstellar beasts were killed accumulatively!
What kind of amazing result is this
The most important thing is - no casualties were caused!
Just when asked about the details, Xiao Wu couldn't explain clearly. In fact, he did not particularly understand the specific effects of Xu Sili's skills.
Because of its ambiguity, it made Brady wonder if what he just said was bragging.
But they just thought about it in their hearts and didn't say it, otherwise the little robot would probably explode again.
"So you don't have to worry, my brother will sooner or later clean up the interstellar beasts and push them all the way here, and you will be saved!"
Xiao Wu concluded.
It's just that it thought about it, and carefully asked how far it was from the imperial city. After getting an accurate answer, the little artificial intelligence collapsed.
"Why so far!" it exclaimed.
Xilin smiled bitterly, if it wasn't for the long journey, how could they have been trapped here for so many years
As a result, she heard the little robot muttering.
"That's not possible, it's too far. How long will it take for my brother to clean up here to save us?"
"Do I want to stay in this broken communication device all the time? Xiaowu doesn't want to be qaq." As he spoke, he was about to cry.
Celine: "..."
Although her communication device is a bit old, it is not "broken", is it
At this time, Xiao Wu thought of something, and suddenly asked: "You said before that because the base station is broken, there is no signal here, right?"
Xi Lin nodded, and Xiao Wu suddenly became happy.
"Then let me help you repair the base station! After the base station is repaired, you can send signals, and you can ask my brother to pick us up!"
Xi Lin wanted to say that this place is too dangerous, and she might not be able to get there even if she got in touch, but thinking of the spaceship that day made her excited again.
Since they can safely fly here from the imperial city and enter the safe passage, it means that Roland has mastered the technique of avoiding flying interstellar beasts!
Moreover, Xiao Wu's proposal coincides with her previous plan.
"Do you know how to repair base stations?" Xilin asked.
"If there are materials, I can make one for you!" Xiao Wu said proudly.
"I just don't know if it can be repaired with the existing materials. My sister will take me to see it sometime."
"it is good!"
The two of you were talking back and forth, and Xilin had temporarily forgotten her sadness. Xenos looked at them and let out a slow breath.
Lowering his eyebrows, looking at his half-missing legs, the light in his eyes dimmed a bit again.
"Big brother, what are you thinking about?"
At this time, he heard the voice of the little robot.
When he raised his head, he found that Celine and Brady were gone, and Abner also packed up the dishes and got up and walked to the washing area.
In the hall, only the projection of him and the little robot remained.
He felt his heart as empty as this hall.
Obviously the little robot brought them so much good news, but he was not particularly happy.
Xenos knew he was sick.
After living in the ground without the light of day for three or four years, under the erosion of despair, sorrow and pain, he has long been ill.
If it wasn't for Sirin, for everyone who survived in this cave, he would have ended himself long ago...
"Big brother, will you be in pain?"
The little robot looked at him and made moves to touch his body.
Does it hurt
Xenos shook his head, he was already numb.
"It would be great if there were materials." Xiao Wu said, "If there are materials, I can cure you right away!"
Its tone was serious and pure, "I stole it on the Star Network before, no, I found it!"
"In that Flanders Interstellar Federation, there is a technology, even if there is only one head left, it can regenerate a body, and it will be exactly the same after it grows out."
Xenos looked at it, slightly startled, "Is it exactly the same?"
"Yes, like the big brother, it will grow back in minutes!" Xiao Wu patted his chest, "When you go back, leave this to me."
"In Xiao Wu's military factory, there is nothing Xiao Wu can't do!"
Xenos stared at the little robot, and after a long time, a shallow smile curved his lips, and there seemed to be light again in the depths of his eyes.
"it is good."
He responded softly, causing Xi Lin, who ran back from the room with the map, to stop.
Looking at this scene, she couldn't help laughing along, laughing and laughing, her vision blurred.
