More than a hundred voices gathered together and shook in the empty auditorium.
Along with the echoes, the light screen that appeared in front of Xu Sili was also reminded by the message to refresh the screen.
[Ding~[Nasa]'s favorability is increased to [Follow to the death], loyal fans of the Roland Empire camp +1]
[Ding ~ [Reed] favorability has been raised to [Follow to the death], loyal fans of the Roland Empire camp +1]
[Ding~[Li Yu]’s favorability has been raised to [Follow to the death], and the loyal fans of the Roland Empire camp +1]
[…]
No more, no less, exactly 157.
Xu Sili watched this scene with some surprise, and couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.
Sure enough, cubs who haven't experienced social beatings are so foolish!
Of course, this is fine. The diehard fans are all his own. The key is to make it easier for him to check their attributes, and no longer need to waste magic power using insight.
"Very good!" Xu Sili nodded, "Since this is the case, this emperor will issue the first order."
"Which of you is the strongest?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two teenagers raised their hands.
One with black hair and one with red hair, they are all good looking guys.
Seeing each other raise their hands, the two looked at each other, as if they could see invisible sparks colliding in the air, full of gunpowder smell.
The tit-for-tat appearance made Xu Sili very satisfied. This is interesting. It is better than the depression just now.
He glanced at it, and when his mind moved slightly, the attribute panel of the two popped up.

Gu Lie is the one with red hair and is young. Regardless of his name or appearance, he is quite compatible with his friendly fire element.
As for Su Ye...
Seeing his name and attributes, Xu Sili couldn't help but startled.
This kid, doesn't it have anything to do with Su Lin
Looking at the two teenagers raising their hands, Xu Sili thought about it and said, "Introduce yourself."
The red-haired boy spoke first: "I'm Su Lie... Ah bah, I'm Gu Lie!"
Probably because he cared too much about his opponent, he pouted, causing a burst of laughter.
The boy blushed and continued: "I am fifteen years old this year, and my strength has reached half a star."
"Your Majesty, I have more potential than Su Ye and even Su Lin!"
Xu Sili nodded and looked at the other black-haired boy.
He was tall and thin, with more handsome features than Su Lin. He looked gentle and gentle.
"How about you?" he asked.
"Your Majesty, my name is Su Ye, I am eighteen years old this year, and I am also a half star."
Su Ye's voice was unhurried, which made it very comfortable to listen to. He paused, then said, "My potential... is indeed inferior to Junior Brother Gu Lie."
Hearing this, Gu Lie pursed his lips and smiled, but the students standing beside Su Ye showed a bit of resentment.
Obviously, Su Ye is more popular than Gu Lie.
Xu Sili swept the attributes of the two again. Although Gu Lie was younger, he did have more potential, but he knew that Su Ye was stronger in mental ability.
He nodded and said, "Okay, the emperor announced that from today, Su Ye will be your captain, and Gu Lie will be your vice captain."
The red-haired boy was obviously taken aback, but the other students accepted it well.
Su Ye is an old student with strong strength. He usually takes care of his juniors and juniors. He is the captain and everyone obeys him.
Xu Sili thought Gu Lie would fight.
As a result, the boy just opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head and did not speak.
This made him feel a little better about this child, and it seems that he is not a reckless man who can only be impulsive.
He did not continue the topic, but said: "Next, your task is to organize all the first batch of students who have tested their spiritual talents."
"Pack up your luggage. Before the sun sets this evening, the emperor wants to see you in the mercenary town."
"From this moment on, you are one team, one unit."
"Those students who are still being tested, this emperor doesn't care about them, but you have all agreed to go."
"Since you have promised, you must do it!"
"If anyone is late or quits by then, everyone else will get out."
"The two captains, since they have taken up their positions, they must shoulder their responsibilities."
"Nearly 200 students, how to arrange so that everyone can arrive at the mercenary town on time and safely. This is a test for you and a test for all of you."
The mercenary town is in the outer city, and it is not close to the inner city gate. Ordinary people need two days and two nights by walking alone.
There are many students here who have never been out of the outer city when they are so old, and do not know how difficult the outside environment is.
After all, at the Elemental Master Academy, they had food and housing, and there was a monthly subsidy. They only needed to practice. How squeamish they would be, Xu Sili thought it was conceivable.
However, these students still have their advantages. They have all studied in the martial arts department for many years, and they must have basic physical training. There is no need to worry about physical fitness.
This task is to give them a disgrace, let them know that going to the mercenary town is not a blessing.
Moreover, those who are easily obtained often do not know how to cherish them, and setting up some small difficulties can actually make these children take their hearts away and work hard for them in the future!
"Okay, that's all for now, you can arrange it yourself."
After Xu Sili finished speaking, he finally bent his lips and smiled at them, "This emperor is waiting for you in the mercenary town, don't let this emperor down."
The students looked at his smile, one or two widened their eyes, and even Su Ye, who was fairly stable, felt excited.
Since His Majesty entered the auditorium, his face has been cold, and the words he said in the middle were not pleasant, which made everyone a little terrified.
At this moment, he smiled at them, as if the tone of his speech had become gentler, which made them feel a touch of kindness and more fighting spirit.
In the hearts of everyone, a thought emerged at the same time: We must never live up to His Majesty's expectations!
Under the fiery gazes of the students, Xu Sili walked down the podium calmly, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he was greeted by the glowing gray-blue eyes of his boss.
He took a step, and looked away as if nothing had happened.
What catches your eyes
Haven't you seen people fooling around
After explaining something to Vice President Chris, Xu Sili left the auditorium.
Instead of going to the academy square, he walked to the top floor, which made Si Sheng summon the Shadow Panther.
Then the two said goodbye to Vice President Chris and the other teachers, and rode the Shadow Panther away again, flying towards the mercenary town.
During the flight, Xu Sili sent a message to Li Zhecheng using the communication device, and asked him to send someone to watch the group of students secretly.
No need to help, just wait until you really encounter a life-threatening danger.
Anyway, if you are injured, there is a royal water healer in the mercenary town, just let her treat it.
Speaking of water healers…
Xu Sili glanced at the panel of the mercenary town.
[Mercenary Town lv1]
Status: under construction
Person in charge: Justin, Wen Jishan (revenue increased by 100%)
Completed: wooden house x3, two-story wooden house x1, brick house x1
Under construction: two-story wooden house [40%], two-story brick house [20%], two-story wooden house [11%], two-story wooden house [1%]
Financial Expenditure: 125796 Ash Coins
New Population: None
Special status bonus: Resident injury and illness rate 2% (construction speed -10%), resident hunger and cold rate 28% (construction speed -28%)
Xu Sili blinked. There was no change in the residents' injury and illness rate. It is estimated that Nia has not arrived yet, but this hunger and cold rate...
It is estimated that Wen Jishan started to act, so there are also financial expenditures.
2% is about 1,000 people. On average, each person is more than 100 yuan. It is not expensive, but relying on relief is not a long-term solution. It is necessary to create more jobs.
Xu Sili frowned in thought.
Elementalists invested in construction, which improved efficiency, but also robbed workers of their jobs.
When the more than 100 elemental master apprentices he brought in the past grow up, more ordinary people may lose their jobs.
Therefore, the reform of the local army element division system should be put on the agenda earlier.
Only when these people come, can more demand and consumption be created, and more service jobs can be created. At present, the economic vitality of the mercenary town is not enough.
Xu Sili was thinking about these things. Suddenly, the communication device vibrated, and he raised his wrist to check.
Seeing what Vice-President Chris sent, he nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, the vice president is quite efficient.
Thinking of what to do next, Xu Sili bent his lips slightly, eager to try.
"Si Sheng, let September fly faster!"
He suddenly urged.
Si Sheng, who was sitting in the back hugging him, couldn't help but pause, and then Yiyan let the Shadow Leopard increase its speed.
The shadow leopard instantly turned into a black lightning bolt, galloping through the air at high speed.
It's just strange that even at such a fast speed, Xu Sili didn't feel the strong wind, as if there was an invisible barrier in front of them, blocking all the wind pressure.
He knew that this was Si Sheng taking care of him...
Just when Xu Sili felt a little strange, he felt the man's chin against his shoulder, and a low voice sounded in his ears.
"Your Majesty... are you going to see that Surin?"
Xu Sili blinked and nodded, "Yes, and Wen Jishan."
"Let's find Wen Jishan first, and then find Su Lin."
Si Sheng pursed his lips, and a gloom flashed in his eyes. He continued to whisper, "Do you... care about him?"
"Ah? Who cares?"
"Su Lin."
Xu Sili rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm still quite concerned."
"Why?"
Si Sheng's voice was hoarse and gloomy, as if oozing out from between his teeth.
Because this kid has black hair and black eyes, and his level has risen so fast, he must be very talented, and he is very good at farming!
Xu Sili said truthfully: "He is talented, I need him to help me cultivate a kind of millet."
Si Sheng's thin lips pursed slightly, and the darkness in his eyes dissipated a little.
"Is it just that?" he asked.
"if not?"
Xu Sili was surprised, what else could it be because of this
Si Sheng didn't answer this question, he thought for a while and said, "Are you interested in his wood-type talent?"
"Almost." Xu Sili nodded.
"Wood-type talent... I also have it, and can manipulate the growth of plants." He leaned against the boy's ear and said slowly.
ah
Xu Sili was stunned, this guy meant...
"You want to help me farm?"
Si Sheng said solemnly: "If Your Majesty needs it, this minister can."
Xu Sili imagined Si Sheng farming... Ah, don't make trouble!
You can, and neither can I!
As for why, he couldn't tell, anyway, he couldn't let Si Sheng go to farm.
Absolutely absolutely impossible!
At the same time, he also felt that Si Sheng was working too hard.
For freedom, not only serve him with all his heart, but also farm!
Ah, no, this picture is horrible.
"No!" Xu Sili said decisively.
"Why?" Si Sheng was puzzled, "I still have a lot of experience in manipulating elements."
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, dark, wind and thunder, he has all dabbled in the ten major elements, and he is probably the only elementist of all elements on Ai Xuexing.
"It doesn't work anyway."
Xu Sili didn't give him any room for negotiation, "You still have to protect me, how can you farm?"
The boy blurted out, and Si Sheng couldn't help being startled.
Then, the corners of his lips curved slightly, revealing a shallow smile, and all the haze in his eyes disappeared.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the boy's body, and said in a hoarse voice, "My minister, I will definitely protect your majesty."
"Um."
Seeing that he didn't insist any longer, Xu Sili breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, this guy has to protect his safety, and it's too reckless to farm.
There were no other moths along the way, Xu Sili and Si Sheng quickly reached the sky above the mercenary town.
Suddenly thinking of something, Xu Sili said: "You will use the passerby halo later, and before jumping off, you have to say hello to me, you know?"
He was completely frightened by the scene of the Elementalist Academy, and he must be warned in advance.
"I understand, Your Majesty."
Si Sheng said respectfully, but no matter how he listened to it, there was some regret.
Xu Sili let out a snort.
He knew that this guy was restless!
Finally, the Shadow Leopard circled above the mercenary town, and finally found the figure of Wen Jishan at a construction site in the center of the town.
It slowly lowered its height.
This time, with the blessing of passers-by's halo, almost no one found them.
Xu Sili looked down.
The construction site is crowded.
He saw Dean Justin and another Earth Elementalist synthesizing slabs of bricks that were as high as a hill.
Some ordinary workers are using these slabs to build houses on already laid foundations.
Here is the brick house area, and the wooden house area on the other side is much simpler and cruder.
I saw a large tree with no leaves and no leaves rising from the ground, and soon fell down with a bang. With the cooperation of the gold elementalist, the big tree was felled and quickly cut into the required planks and stakes.
There are also workers on the side, using these raw materials to quickly build a house.
This scene surprised Xu Sili.
He originally thought that the elemental masters could directly lift the house up, but he didn't expect that they could just produce raw materials quickly
In this case, in a short period of time, there is no need to worry about the workers being out of work.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to jump off."
At this time, Si Sheng spoke softly, his voice solemn and low, and seemed to be somewhat gentle.
"Please hold me tight."
Xu Sili blinked and looked at Wen Jishan and the others below.
Well, just hug.
Generally no one pays attention to them anyway.
He held Si Sheng's arm tightly, moved his body with difficulty on the Shadow Panther's back, changed to sit sideways, and wrapped his arms around the man's waist.
"Plop-plop-" I don't know if it was because he was about to jump, Xu Sili felt that his heart was beating a little faster.
Si Sheng felt the young man take the initiative to embrace his arm, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, suppressing the stirring emotions in his heart.
"Your Majesty, are you ready?"
At this moment, Xu Sili was leaning on his side, and when he lowered his head, his lips touched the boy's forehead.
The soft touch made Si Sheng's heart skip a beat, his body stiffened slightly, and he retreated a little as if nothing had happened, as if it was just an unintentional accident.
He acted too naturally. Although Xu Sili noticed it, he didn't take it to heart.
"Well, it's ready!"
He hugged Si Sheng's arm tightly, his eyes widened, this time he wanted to challenge him without closing his eyes.
Si Sheng hugged him and jumped from the Shadow Panther's back to the ground.
The wind whistled in my ears.
Everything on the ground quickly zoomed in before his eyes.
Finally, Xu Sili buried his head in front of Si Sheng's chest unbearably, and did not watch this terrifying scene again, otherwise he might scream.
It will be exposed!
Si Sheng observed his reaction, in fact, he was a little surprised that Lord God would be afraid of heights, but he felt...
so cute.
The god-sama who relies on him, and the god-sama who hugs him tightly, is really cute.
Si Sheng smiled lightly, and a gust of wind formed under his feet, lifted the two of them up and slowly landed on the ground, and when they stood firm, the gust of wind spread to the surroundings.
The workers who were working only felt a strong wind blowing suddenly, closed their eyes slightly, and resumed their work after the wind stopped.
No one noticed that there were two more figures on the construction site.
Xu Sili secretly opened one eye, and when he saw Wen Jishan standing two steps away, his heart tightened, so he quickly released Si Sheng and took two steps back.
He patted his robes, sorted them out, and was about to talk to Wen Jishan when he heard Si Sheng say, "Your Majesty, wait."
what happened again
Xu Sili looked at him, but saw that the man took off his right glove and stretched out his hand towards him.
He was slightly stunned, watching his slender fingers stretch out, fingertips gently fiddling with his bangs, and hooking the slightly messy hair behind his ears.
Xu Sili wanted to avoid it.
However, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scar on the man's palm—deep and shallow scars, thick sword calluses, much more sinister than the one on the back of his hand.
He was attracted for a moment and forgot to back away.
"All right, Your Majesty."
The man withdrew his hand and stared at him with low eyes, with a faint gleam in his gray-blue eyes.
No longer indifferent, no longer fierce, with pious tenderness.
Xu Sili pursed his lips, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at his palm.
"This scar... can't it go away?"
he asked suddenly.
Si Sheng blinked and raised his palm to look, but he didn't expect him to pay attention to this.
"Don't you like it?"
He looked at Xu Sili with a little nervousness in his eyes.
Xu Sili frowned, is this a question of whether he likes it or not? He does find it annoying, but...
"nothing."
He shook his head, "It's okay to keep it."
Si Sheng looked at him and wanted to say something, when Wen Jishan's voice rang out.
"Your Majesty? Si Sheng?"
Xu Sili looked over, and saw Wen Jishan staring at them with wide eyes, a bit of incredulousness in his eyes.
Wen Jishan was really surprised. He was just explaining things to the old man Justin, and was about to continue to work elsewhere. He glanced over inadvertently and saw two figures suddenly appearing on the construction site.
The strange thing is that the others are as if nothing happened, as if no one found them.
But he quickly restrained his expression, because he suddenly remembered that this kind of thing seemed to have happened before!
That's right, Si Sheng was often absent-minded before, he didn't think about it at that time, but now he finally realized the problem.
Could it be that this is also the special ability of the Elementalist
Xu Sili looked at him and said hello lightly, "Chief Wen."
Wen Jishan wanted to salute, but he stopped him.
He didn't want to attract other people's attention.
They left the construction site together and went to the farmland planted in Surin. On the way, Xu Sili couldn't help but ask his doubts.
Logically speaking, wood elementalists may not be able to directly synthesize wooden boards, but earth elementalists should be able to directly generate stone walls and earth walls, right? Why even need a block of synthetic bricks
Wen Jishan nodded: "It was indeed the idea at the beginning, but the house that was built was not very stable, it was seriously skewed, and no one could live there."
"The foundation can be built, but the superstructure still has to rely on ordinary workers, but even so, the speed is still much faster."
All raw materials are produced locally and used locally, which saves a lot of time in production and transportation.
There are many idle residents in the town, and many people are willing to work as long as they eat and eat, which saves a lot of money.
Xu Sili listened to him and understood the problem.
It seems that he had taken it for granted before, and it really is true knowledge through practice, and these things still have to be improved through exploration.
Si Sheng on the side opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.
In fact, those elementalists can't do it, just because...
They are too weak.
If he does it, he can completely build the house on the spot according to the design drawings.
But... God-sama said.
His duty is to protect him.
Si Sheng slightly bent his lips and continued to follow Xu Sili silently, looking at him from an angle he didn't notice.
I just feel that I can't get enough of it anyway.
Soon, under the leadership of Wen Jishan, they came to the cultivated farmland outside the town.
"Su Lin's two acres of land is at the end of the road. I have to go to work on poverty alleviation, so I will leave first."
Xu Sili nodded, and before Wen Jishan left, he passed something to him using the communicator.
Wen Jishan opened the video and watched it.
It was a video of the boy speaking to the students in the auditorium. He was a little dazed at first, but soon understood.
His eyes lit up, "Your Majesty means... the local guards?"
Xu Sili gave him a knowing smile, and Wen Jishan also smiled.
"Do you know what to do?" Xu Sili asked.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
Wen Jishan pushed his glasses, "I know what to do!"
Satisfied, Xu Sili waved his hand to send him away.
If nothing else, this Wen Jishan is quite reliable. Taking the food and clothing rate of the residents as an example, he has increased it by 2% in just one day, and he is considered a capable minister.
He moved forward in good spirits.
Suddenly thinking of something, he asked: "By the way, how did Wen Jishan become the chief executive? Wasn't he the owner of a dessert shop before?"
Si Sheng was silent for a while, and said, "This minister introduced him to the late emperor."
Moreover, Wen Jishan is in this world...
Not the owner of the dessert shop.
"Oh."
Xu Sili walked slowly on the ridge, thinking about Si Sheng's words in his heart, feeling a little weird.
It's just that when he was about to think of something, a lively, gentle and joyful song suddenly floated over from a distance.
Xu Sili was attracted by the singing and looked in the distance.
I saw a bouncing figure walking in the lush green fields, while swinging the straw in his hand, he sang songs like no one else.
Listening to the cheerful song and feeling the grassy wind blowing from the fields, Xu Sili couldn't help but hum along.
Different from the warm and stable good night song like a mother, this song has a kind of vigor and vitality, which makes people feel cheerful and infinite vitality when listening to it.
When the boy finished humming the song, he was blessed with a soul-like blue light screen slowly emerging in front of him.
[Ding~Congratulations on comprehending Ai Xuexing's ballad, acquiring a new skill [Sprouting], intelligence +2, experience +1000]
