Under the guidance of Si Sheng's spiritual power, Xu Sili finally saw the scene on the main road.
Amidst the dust, a mighty motorcade came galloping, and the boys and girls on the carriage were all wearing the black uniforms of the Elementalist Academy, which were very recognizable.
There are a total of 25 interstellar beast carriages, the number is not much or not, but the number of people on the carriage has changed.
Originally, there were only two to three more people on the interstellar beast carriage that could only ride on five, but the strange thing was that the speed of the carriage did not decrease much.
From the perspective of mental power, the ability to sense elements is enhanced, and Xu Sili quickly noticed the reason.
is the wind.
I saw the cyan wind elements gathered behind each carriage, pushing the carriages to move fast, and in the direction they were going, there were not many wind elements.
Reducing resistance and increasing motivation is a smart move.
Xu Sili glanced at the team and saw about 9 wind elementalists.
Their eyes were closed, their faces pale.
Obviously, for them who have just been tested for spiritual talent and have not had time to learn how to effectively control the elements, it is difficult to use the wind element to propel the carriage forward.
However, they still did their best through the division of labor.
They still couldn't control the elements too finely like Si Sheng, so they chose a compromise method - some people controlled the wind elements in front, and the other part controlled the wind elements in the back, and then let the team move as close as possible to narrow the range.
It's not subtle, but it does work.
In addition to the wind elementalist, there is also the earth element.
The number of Earth Elementalists is obviously much larger, and almost no carriage has one or two on board.
Their responsibility is to fill the uneven pavement with earth elements, of course, because of their fast driving speed and their weak ability, it does not seem to have much effect.
All I can say is that talking is better than nothing.
In addition to those sitting on the carriage, Xu Sili also saw a dozen people running behind the carriage.
They are basically four or five levels of strength. Although they seem to be struggling, they barely catch up with the speed of the carriage, and have always maintained a short distance.
Xu Sili was in it and saw the two captains, Su Ye and Gu Lie.
Under the premise of practicing in the wrong direction, they can still reach half-star strength, which is evident in their perseverance and aptitude.
Seeing them do their best, Xu Sili nodded in relief.
After experiencing this time, I think no one will come here with the mood of vacation.
While he was observing and thinking, the trainees' motorcade had left the main road, entered the open space at the entrance of the town, and stopped in front of the tents in the disaster relief area.
The students were all disgraced, and the sandstorm on the main road had ruined their original graceful image, and the black uniforms could not cover up the dust.
In particular, the dozen or so people running at the back of the team were sweating and embarrassed.
Wen Jishan stood at the entrance of the disaster relief area with a look of excitement and joy, and began to count the heads with great interest.
But soon, when he counted to one hundred and ten, he was a little dumbfounded.
what happened? How come
Wen Jishan was a little frightened, and continued to count one by one. When he counted to one hundred and fifty, and found that there were still more, he trembled a little.
He forced himself to be calm and continued to count down.
Finally found out…
There are actually one hundred and eighty-eight!
That's right, he confirmed it again later.
It is one hundred and eighty-eight, plus Su Lin, the total is one hundred and eighty-nine.
Seventy-nine more than he guessed!
This is not a simple number, but a fresh young life, the seedlings of spiritual elemental masters!
Wen Jishan was so excited.
However, the faces of the exhausted students were very ugly. They looked up at the sky with despair in their eyes, and some even cried softly.
This made Wen Jishan restrained, and at the same time a little confused.
What's the matter
Why all this expression? Is there anything in the sky
He couldn't help but look up to the sky.
In the dim sky, night falls, and a few stars can be vaguely seen shining brightly.
Very clear, very ordinary starry sky.
Just when Wen Jishan's doubts reached the peak, he heard footsteps. He looked back and saw a black-haired boy walking towards him with red eyes.
Looking at the facial features and temperament, it made him feel a little familiar.
Kind of like... Surin
"Excuse me, are you the chief executive, Lord Wen Jishan?" The black-haired boy restrained his emotions and asked politely.
Wen Jishan looked at him and nodded.
I saw him bowing, "See your lord."
He asked again, "Excuse me... have you seen Your Majesty?"
His Majesty
Wen Jishan gently shook his head.
Only received information, no one was seen.
Then, he saw that the light in the black-haired boy's eyes dimmed, it was an extremely heavy despair, which moved Wen Jishan a little.
Su Ye bit her lip.
He is the oldest of all his teammates, and he is also the group of students who are about to graduate.
This opportunity is no less important to him than anyone else, not to mention that he is still the captain, and he has the greatest responsibility for not organizing everyone in place in time.
"Thank you... Thank you, Lord Archon."
Su Ye took a deep breath, choked up and finished speaking, shaking his body, he looked at his teammates who were not far away.
In fact, they already know the result, but they can't help but look forward to it.
Looking forward to His Majesty giving them another chance.
They have really worked hard to get here, but who would have thought that the suspension car would have insufficient energy halfway, which would lead to a series of problems later
Su Ye met their expectant eyes.
After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head with great difficulty, and then watched, the pair of hopeful eyes dimmed.
At this moment, a red-haired boy suddenly walked in front of everyone in silence.
Under the watchful eyes of all the students, Gu Lie bent down hard, and then a crying voice sounded.
"Sorry, it's all my responsibility!"
If he hadn't wanted to compete for the limelight, if he hadn't urged the driver to leave earlier, so that the driver didn't have time to replenish energy, he wouldn't have been forced to stop and walk on the way.
Su Ye was chasing after him. If it wasn't for their carriage, he would still be on the road with more than 60 people.
But even so, they were late.
His Majesty said that if anyone falls behind or is late, let them all get out of the way...
Everyone was ruined by him...
All because of him!
Gu Lie's waist is very low. At the age of fifteen, he has never felt like this for a moment, the whole sky has collapsed, and his eyes are dark.
He didn't dare to look up, for fear of facing the accusing and resentful eyes of his classmates.
"I also have half the responsibility for this."
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded beside him.
Gu Lie was startled, looked sideways, and saw a figure beside him at some point.
He did not look at him, but stood side by side with him, facing the baptism of the eyes of all the students.
"I'm the captain, and I agree with Gu Lie's proposal. I didn't expect the energy issue, and I should think of alternatives in advance to deal with emergencies."
"I didn't do it, so everyone lost this opportunity."
"I'm very sorry!"
Gu Lie stared at Su Ye blankly, with intense emotions flashing in his eyes, he opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Seeing Su Ye bent down, he also bent down again.
Only this time, he felt that the pressure on his body seemed to be lighter, and it was not as collapsed and hopeless as before.
"It's none of the captain's business, you've done a good job." A girl forced a smile.
Others followed suit.
"Yeah, if there is no way for the captain to come up with it, we may still be on the way."
"Even if it doesn't work this time, we can still practice when we get to the local army. As long as we continue to work hard and continue to improve ourselves, we can still do it..."
"But will Your Majesty be very disappointed in us?"
At this time, a blue-haired boy said, "I thought... I can finally turn around this time and make those who looked down on me regret it... "
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere that had been eased was stagnant again.
Everyone fell silent. They sat in the night wind where the temperature gradually dropped, and no one moved.
Wen Jishan frowned deeply as he looked at the words of the group of students, a little confused.
Did something happen that he didn't know about
And Xu Sili in the distance, seeing that he was almost done, withdrew his mental power and released Si Sheng's hand at the same time.
"Let's go."
But instead of walking towards those students, he turned around and walked into the town.
Si Sheng followed behind him and glanced at his palm, feeling a little disappointed, but soon he regained his composure.
He looked at the boy's back, and the corners of his lips curled into a slight arc.
Anyway...
There will be opportunities in the future.
Xu Sili had no idea what Si Sheng was thinking, he was busy sending a message to Wen Jishan.
On the other side, Wen Jishan heard the sound of the communicator and knew that it was from His Majesty, so he glanced at it quickly.
"The students are handed over to you."
A simple sentence that says nothing.
Wen Jishan hesitated for a while, but instead of asking, he directly asked the depressed students.
The dark-haired boy gave him the answer.
Combined with the information he had just received, Wen Jishan probably understood what was going on.
He looked at the group of children speechlessly.
That's right, the oldest is eighteen and the youngest is fifteen. They are indeed a group of children, which is why they are so innocent.
but…
Your Majesty seems to be only eighteen, right
Is there such a big gap between people? Do you believe what Your Majesty says
Wen Jishan murmured in his heart, gently adjusted his glasses, and said, "Are you the captain?"
"Yes, my name is Su Ye."
Su Ye respectfully said.
Wen Jishan glanced at him unexpectedly, and thought to himself, wouldn't it really have something to do with Su Lin
Of course, he didn't say it.
"Well, you get everyone together first."
He pointed to an open space for them, and said, "And the carriages are parked at the horse farm over there, don't block the road."
Although Su Ye is gentle, he also has a tough side.
He had barely calmed down at this moment, and when he heard Wen Jishan's words, he couldn't help but apologetically said, "I'll arrange it right away, and I'm sorry for causing trouble to your lord."
It's really not good for them to be stuck here.
At this time, there were already many people in the disaster relief area looking towards this side, so embarrassed, he didn't want to be surrounded by people.
"Everyone cheer up and get off the bus first!"
Soon, under the command of Su Ye, all the students got off the carriage one after another and gathered in the designated open space in Wen Jishan.
This time, Gu Lie did not sing against Su Ye, but restrained other noble children who were not very obedient, which greatly improved the team's mobility.
After the 188 students had assembled, Wen Jishan looked at them and said loudly, "You may all know me."
"I'm the chief executive of the empire, Wen Jishan."
"This time, I will be responsible for the reconstruction of the mercenary town together with Dean Justin. At the same time, His Majesty ordered me to wait for you here."
"Since the incident has already happened, it's useless to feel sad and blame yourself. What you should do now is to summarize the gains and losses, and strive not to make the same mistakes in the future!"
Wen Jishan said solemnly.
"It's already night, and it's not safe to walk at night, so just stay here for one night."
"You should have seen the broadcast of the mercenary town. There are homeless victims waiting for rescue."
"So, the town doesn't have any extra houses for you to live in."
Wen Jishan waved his hand, and a soldier brought the prepared tent and threw it in front of the students.
"You can set up tents here tonight, but do it yourself, and I'll send someone to teach you."
"Since you are here, you should be mentally prepared. I don't want to hear someone complaining, maybe asking for a change of residence."
"This is not a home or an academy. No one will help you. It's all up to you."
Wen Jishan made it clear.
He already knew the intention of the little majesty—these elemental masters and apprentices were not invited to serve, but to work, and there was no need to entertain them so squeamishly.
Although there are many noble children among them, Wen Jishan is not at all cowardly, and he is not cowardly in the face of the big ones, let alone these small ones.
The students looked at each other and looked at the tents on the ground. Some children from noble families were obviously a little unhappy.
But I heard Wen Jishan say again: "If you don't want to live in a tent, you can choose to sleep in the open air. Now the weather is fine, and it won't freeze to death."
Hearing this, the child who was just about to express his opinion immediately shut up, for fear that the tent would be confiscated.
Sleeping…
It's really not as good as living in a tent!
As for Su Ye, he took a step forward and said, "Master Consul, don't worry, I will take care of all the team members."
"Thank you so much for the tent you provided us."
It's not surprising that there are many people in Li, even Wen Jishan has a little more affection for Su Ye.
He patted Su Ye on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Have a good rest tonight, and work tomorrow."
He then ordered the soldiers to prepare some hot food for the students, and left.
However, Su Ye stood there with a dull look in his eyes.
Gotta work tomorrow...
Is this the meaning of the consul, or... the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor
Su Ye frowned and thought, when suddenly his shoulder was bumped.
He looked sideways, and saw Gu Lie holding a tent, he didn't know when he appeared beside him, his eyes were erratic and hesitant.
Su Ye blinked, looked at him, and then looked at the tent in his hand.
Suddenly he said, "Junior Gu Lie, do you want to sleep in a tent with me tonight?"
Gu Lie was stunned, he actually wanted to thank him.
Just seeing Su Ye's face, he was a little speechless.
At this moment, he was amused by his self-righteousness. He Gu Lie... How could he sleep in a tent with commoners? Not to mention the Su Ye who pressed his head.
It's just that he was about to explain when Su Ye turned around and instructed the students to set up their tents.
He obviously has experience, and he managed to get one by three and five, and then he continued to help other students.
Whether it was a noble or a commoner, he took it all into consideration.
Gu Lie looked at him, and slowly stopped trying to say anything, but followed him to learn how to set up a tent, and helped more than 100 other students together.
In this kind of mutual help, they are familiar with each other and run in, and gradually realize what is called a collective.
After all the construction was finished, they sat around the bonfire and ate the hot food brought by the soldiers. They were tired and hungry, and they only felt that there was nothing more delicious than this rough meal.
"Captain, tomorrow morning... are we really going back?" At this moment, someone suddenly asked.
This topic made the atmosphere, which was rarely relaxed, become heavy again.
Su Ye put down the spoon, pursed her lips, and suddenly said, "No, we're not going back."
In everyone's surprised eyes, he said his thoughts.
"We can't give up so easily."
"Why did Your Majesty let us come here? To assist Dean Justin in building the town."
"The mercenary town is in need of manpower right now. As long as we help here and prove our usefulness, Your Majesty... will definitely see us!"
Wen Jishan's seemingly unintentional remarks made Su Ye see hope again, and no longer go to the horns.
There is nothing wrong with one failure.
They still have a chance.
Dean Justin is in a time of shortage. Even if they can't release a complete skill, they can help fight and gather elements.
When the same skill is used frequently, the concentration of the elements in that place will decrease for a short time, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of skill casting.
And if there are people like them gathering elements, it will definitely help to some extent.
"Don't forget, we are here to study and cultivate!"
Su Ye said seriously.
"Just like the classmates of the wind department just gathered and scattered the wind elements to increase the speed of the carriage, this is actually a kind of cultivation!"
"His Majesty did not drive us away, and even asked the consul to give us a tent. If we really leave, His Majesty will be disappointed!"
"So we have to stay, try our best to play our own light and heat in the town, and seize every opportunity to cultivate."
"Now Dean Justin and the others are here. If we encounter problems and ask for advice while helping, they should not be stingy with teaching us."
"This is an environment that is absolutely impossible to go to the local army!"
Su Ye usually doesn't talk much, but at this moment, he speaks in a clear and coherent manner, which cheered up those students who were originally depressed.
Yes, His Majesty didn't chase them away, so they...
Just stay ashamed!
Wen Jishan didn't actually go far. He couldn't help laughing when he heard the movement from the student area.
Well, it doesn't seem really stupid.
But the most shrewd one is His Majesty. It's so simple that people rush to work for him, which really opened his eyes.
He turned around with a smile, took out a notebook from his pocket, and turned to the latest page.
This page recorded a series of names, all of which he just remembered and recorded.
The characteristics of these people are very simple: 1. Rich; 2. Unfamiliar with the Chris family; 3. There are injuries in the family.
Niya, the royal water healer, is very arrogant and does not take action easily, and in the entire imperial city, apart from the half-hearted water healer teacher of the Elementalist Academy, there is only Nia.
And now...
Wen Jishan glanced at Nia's tent and smiled.
Funds for the relief of the mercenary town should be available soon.
He won't collect the treatment fee privately, and directly let those who need treatment donate to the empire.
At that time, even if you accidentally reveal the secret, it will be supported by His Majesty, and it has nothing to do with him, and Nia... dare to go to His Majesty's trouble
Wen Jishan closed the book in a good mood.
In the final analysis, it is still His Majesty.
It's such a joy to have a wise monarch lead.
He didn't have to go to great lengths to increase income and reduce expenditure, His Majesty gave him the start, and the road was paved directly, he just had to walk along.
Your Majesty used to... Was that smart too
Wen Jishan recalled, but found that the memory of the third prince in the prince period was a little fuzzy.
Perhaps the mediocrity and cowardice in the past were all because of His Majesty's indisputability. After all, there were already two outstanding elder brothers and elder sisters at that time.
If it wasn't for the accidental fall of the two...
Wen Jishan shook his head. He didn't think about such a heavy thing anymore. Instead, he took his small notebook, seized the time, and went to the contact overnight.
On the other side, Xu Sili wandered around the mercenary town.
As night fell, the town was already lit up with lights.
The old street lamps are not particularly bright, and they illuminate the surroundings dimly, as if covered with a layer of gauze.
There are still many pedestrians on the street, and the noise of the night market can be heard in the distance.
Dean Justin and the others stopped construction temporarily and were eating. Xu Sili also felt hungry, so he walked into a restaurant casually, preparing to finish dinner here.
The restaurant in this small town is small, cramped and crowded, but it is clean.
Xu Sili chose a seat by the window and sat down at the small round table. When he looked up, he saw Si Sheng who was still beside him.
He couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
This guy... I didn't see him being so disciplined when he was in the palace, but he was more reserved outside
"sit down."
He pointed to the opposite position and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Si Sheng just sat down.
He was tall, and when he sat down at the small round table, he suddenly seemed a little cramped, but he was barely able to sit down.
This wasn't the first time Xu Sili had eaten with Si Sheng, but it was the first time they were sitting around a small dining table, facing each other.
Xu Sili glanced at him, then looked away, worried that he would be immersed in this guy's beauty again.
Maybe it's too close.
The impact of that beauty felt several times more than usual, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
This guy, Si Sheng, is a monster!
The waiter's food delivery was fast, and he didn't recognize them. He put down the plate, said "please wait," and left.
After a busy day, Xu Sili was really hungry.
but…
The food in this world is really rough, especially since this is a backward town. After a few bites, Xu Sili lost his appetite.
Fortunately, there is milk, so that he will not be hungry.
He glanced at the leftover food, and in the spirit of saving honor and waste of shame, he pulled half of the noodles that had not been touched into Si Sheng's bowl.
Euphemistically, he consumes a lot and needs to eat more.
Si Sheng paused, didn't say anything, just ate silently.
Elegant, charming and personable.
Just by watching him eat, you can't see the ferocity of his battles at all.
In fact, Si Sheng was a little nervous to be seen by the teenager.
too close.
He couldn't even control his heartbeat.
But this dinner with just the two of them was obviously not as romantic as he thought.
After the hastily finished eating, Xu Sili sat there, occasionally glancing at him, and more often looking at the street scene outside the window.
Those bright eyes didn't know what the hell was going on.
Finally, after Si Sheng finished eating, they returned to the palace together.
After a brief wash, Xu Sili didn't do anything else. He almost fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. He didn't go into the dark room until he woke up the next morning, ready to take a look at the star network.
