A gentle breeze blew in from outside the pavilion.
The young man frowned as he pondered. He allowed the breeze to play with his silver-white hair and gently tickle his cheeks.
Finally, he felt a little itchy. He raised his hand and played with the hair, unconsciously twirling it around his fingertips.
What should I do?
Xu Sili was a little troubled.
He definitely couldn't kill the rabbits in such a big way like just now, but … secretly?
Forget it. He didn't know if it was because he had been warned. When he went to change his clothes just now, he noticed it.
Those guards had completely restrained themselves and were very alert. It would be very difficult for him to sneak out like Snow Roland last night.
Killing monsters was such a good shortcut to leveling up. He couldn't give it up. What he lacked most now was time. If he meditated, how many levels could he level up in a month?
Xu Sili gritted his teeth.
Should he just go all out and only bring Janice and Li Zheyu to the kitchen to kill the rabbits and then ask them to keep it a secret? If they dared to say anything, they would be punished.
He was thinking about the possibility when he heard footsteps.
Xu Sili didn't turn around. He continued to maintain an unfathomable expression until Li Zheyu's respectful voice sounded.
"Your Majesty …"
He paused and didn't continue.
Xu Sili frowned and turned to look at him.
Just now, he had dismissed everyone. The head maid was standing outside the pavilion. At this moment, she was looking over and paying attention to them.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
Li Zheyu's face showed a hint of struggle, but he still took a step forward. Intentionally or unintentionally, from an angle where the head maid couldn't see, he whispered, "Your Majesty, are you still worried about the interstellar beasts?"
Xu Sili glanced at him and nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.
This guy obviously had something to say.
"Your Majesty, if you want to come into contact with the interstellar beasts, I actually know of a place …" Li Zheyu said. He paused slightly and didn't continue.
Xu Sili felt that he was deliberately keeping him in suspense. He didn't ask and only looked at him coldly with his light purple eyes.
If you have something to say, say it quickly!
Li Zheyu's heart tightened. Once again, he felt the change in the young Emperor. He could only continue, "The Warbeast Arena."
"Colosseum?"
Xu Sili frowned slightly. There was no relevant memory in Snow Roland's memory, but he could roughly guess what it was based on the name.
Li Zheyu explained, "Your Majesty might not have heard of it."
"The Colosseum is located in the outer city. It's not far from the inner city gate. Every once in a while, there will be mercenaries transporting interstellar beasts back to the city."
"If there are still any alive, throw them into the Colosseum and hold beast fighting activities. This is also a way to motivate the people and boost their morale."
"Every time there's a beast battle event, it'll be broadcasted. You can also watch it live …"
At this point, Li Zhe Cheng stopped and didn't continue speaking. This was because he couldn't say anything else after this.
However, he believed that his hint was clear enough.
Xu Sili indeed understood.
Snow Roland wasn't favored by the late Emperor. Her living conditions were average and she didn't have the opportunity to watch television. That was why she didn't know about beast fights being broadcasted.
"Are the interstellar beasts in the Colosseum all undomesticated?" he asked.
Li Zheyu nodded. "Of course."
Domesticated interstellar beasts had lost their wild nature. It wouldn't be good to watch them fight.
He felt that it was a good thing for Her Majesty to have contact with wild interstellar beasts. The Roland Empire's environment was harsh and the conditions were tough. A weak emperor wasn't suitable to lead everyone out of this predicament.
Therefore, although he was worried about the young man's safety, he still agreed with Sir Si Sheng's suggestion.
Perhaps this Sir also felt that Her Majesty should train, right? He just didn't know …
Thinking about the scene in the hall last night, Li Zheyu was still speechless. The two of them actually … This was really unexpected!
"Interesting!"
Xu Sili didn't know what Li Zheyu was thinking about. He nodded in a good mood and said, "Then let's go and take a look."
When we get there, we'll see if there's a chance to kill a few.
Those were undomesticated interstellar beasts. Even if he had a hard time killing them, he wouldn't lose his prestige as an emperor, right?
Xu Sili excitedly wanted to leave the palace. He didn't hide this from Janice. Although she didn't agree, she couldn't persuade Xu Sili. She turned around and gave him advice.
This matter couldn't be made public. Otherwise, it would only increase the danger and obstacles. Therefore, they decided to go incognito.
As for the ticket to the Colosseum, Li Zheyu wasn't worried. He was familiar with the guards there and could enter at any time without exposing his identity.
After disguising himself, Xu Sili successfully slipped out of the palace under the cover of the head maid and the head guard. He then took a flying shuttle and flew in the direction of the Colosseum.
This flying shuttle was also supported by the Star Alliance.
It was sad to say that almost all of the high-tech products on Eshe Star came from the Star Alliance. There weren't any high-tech industries here, not even a processing plant.
This was because a population of 90 million wasn't enough in the vast interstellar space. They also had to bear the high cost of transportation and possible attacks from interstellar beasts.
It was conceivable that no brand was willing to set up a factory here.
The flying shuttle flew at a low altitude in the city.
Xu Sili lowered his head and looked at the scenery on the ground. His face was calm, but his bright purple eyes betrayed him.
A flying shuttle!
There wasn't such a high-tech thing in reality. It felt even better than racing.
Li Zheyu probably noticed something. He whispered to the pilot to slow down, but didn't explain the reason.
The pilot didn't ask and slowly lowered the speed.
Xu Sili at the back heard it. He pretended not to hear and continued to enjoy the scenery of Roland's Imperial City.
It could be seen that there weren't many people who owned such a high-tech flying shuttle. Even cars were rare. Most of the people in the city either used carriages or domesticated interstellar beasts as their means of transportation.
In terms of architecture, the original style was mostly maintained, leaning towards the medieval European style. Only some small details were added with some technological content.
This was a scene full of contradictions and harmony. All kinds of ancient and advanced things were mixed together and intertwined with each other, forming a unique landscape of Roland.
Xu Sili was fascinated by it.
This was his country.
From this moment on, he truly recognized this point and was excited about it.
Their flying shuttle quickly left the inner city.
After flying over the city wall, Xu Sili couldn't help but be stunned when the scenery of the outer city came into view.
If the inner city gave him the feeling of being full of vitality, order, and fantasy, then the outer city was more like … a slum.
Perhaps, it was.
The bumpy soil was exposed, and a road paved with gravel and sand extended from the city gate to the distance.
On both sides of the road were shabby thatched huts, and people in ragged clothes were walking around. The world outside the city had no high-tech.
There was only desolation, poverty, and grayish-yellow color.
Xu Sili stared blankly at this scene.
Suddenly he said, "Fly higher, to the sky."
The pilot knew that he was a big shot, so he didn't say much. He silently pulled the shuttle up to the sky.
Looking down from the sky, it was even more shocking.
The difference between the inner city and the outer city was so obvious.
The inner city, which was not small, was like an ant on a pan compared to the outer city.
Xu Sili pursed his lips and didn't continue to look. He asked the pilot to fly lower again.
The pilot silently did as he was told.
When they returned to the lower altitude again, Xu Sili couldn't help but look outside again.
There were children playing games in the yellow open space. When they saw the flying shuttle, they pointed their fingers to the sky and shouted excitedly.
There were also adults who ran out to watch the fun.
Although they may be poor, they were not lifeless. There were even people who threw stones into the sky, as if they wanted to smash them down.
Xu Sili felt a little better.
Anyway, these people couldn't hit anything, so he just thought of it as a welcome.
The flying shuttle continued to move forward and soon left the residential area.
The dirt road extended forward, and there were many carriages and interstellar beasts riding on it.
"What are these people going to do?" Xu Sili asked strangely.
"The Colosseum."
The pilot said, "The mercenary group will be back today, and they will probably bring back a lot of interstellar beasts."
"In addition to catching up with the beast fights, they can also buy some fresh beast meat. It's much cheaper to buy it at the Colosseum than in the city."
Xu Sili nodded. The journey was long, and the transportation cost was not low.
He originally thought that the beast fights were entertainment for the upper class, but now it seemed to be quite commoner.
After all, Snow Roland lived deep in the palace, and there were too many things he didn't understand. The relevant memories were either very vague or even biased.
Xu Sili felt that maybe in the future, when he had time, he really should come out more often.
While the teenager was deep in thought, suddenly, a figure not far away attracted his attention.
It was a woman walking alone, carrying a baby on her back, walking on the dusty dirt road. Step by step, her body was bent, and she seemed to be having a hard time.
There were many people passing by, but no one stopped for her.
In the end, the road was temporarily empty, and she was the only one walking silently.
Xu Sili couldn't bear it.
When the flying shuttle was about to pass over her head, he stopped the pilot.
"Go down, ask her where she is going, and give her a ride."
The flying shuttle was very spacious, and there was no problem with one more person.
Li Zheyu didn't agree. What if there was an assassin? Janice looked at the determined teenager, then looked at the poor mother and child, and finally hesitated to get off the flying shuttle.
She had to see for herself and make sure there was no danger.
Fortunately, Janice didn't feel any elemental aura from the young woman.
She was just a defenseless, ordinary person. She was even weaker than that.
Seeing the flying shuttle suddenly stop in front of her, and a well-dressed woman walking towards her, the young woman was stunned.
When Janice told her why she came, she was both frightened and happy.
If she was alone, she might have refused, but she had a child, and she was very grateful that a kind person was willing to give her a ride.
The woman was called Ali, and she was from outside the city. She was going to the Colosseum with her child to find her husband who was working there.
"Young Master, thank you so much!"
Once on the flying shuttle, Ali thanked him excitedly, "I've already walked for a day, and if I rely on myself, I might need to walk for another day."
Xu Sili was looking at the distant horizon through the window.
When the flying shuttle was descending, he seemed to have seen something flash past. He frowned and held the Radium 4000 in his hand.
He hoped that he was just seeing things.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would really have to summon Si Sheng …
Hearing the woman's words, Xu Sili retracted his gaze and looked at the woman with a gentle expression.
"Drink some water first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Janice had already poured a cup of water for Ali.
Ali thanked her profusely, but she didn't drink in a hurry. Instead, she put down the child on her back.
The child had a pair of clear green eyes, and looked very cute. When his mother fed him, he opened his mouth and spat out some water.
After drinking a few mouthfuls, he turned his face away and stopped drinking.
Ali then drank the rest of the water herself.
She looked very reserved, shrinking in the corner, and didn't dare to talk to Xu Sili. She just hugged the child and hummed a song softly to calm him down.
Xu Sili listened to the unfamiliar song, and felt that it was very moving, and had a soothing power.
After listening for a while, he remembered the melody, and in the end, he couldn't help but sing along with the woman.
This was the first time he sang since he came to this world.
He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that as he sang, there seemed to be some kind of energy in the air. It was very faint, but he felt it.
Janice also looked at him in surprise, and slowly, her expression relaxed, as if she was immersed in the melody.
When Xu Sili finished humming the song …
[Ding! Congratulations on comprehending Ai Xue Xing's Folk Song. You have gained a new skill [Roland's Requiem], INT + 1, EXP + 500]
[Ding! Experience is full, level increased from lv2 to lv3, all stats + 1]

Looking at the notifications in front of him, Xu Sili was completely stunned.
He was just itching to try out his skills, so how did he suddenly level up?
And …
500 EXP, how many rabbits is this?!
