The temperature gradually warmed up. The northern hemisphere of Eshe Star finally bid farewell to the cold winter and woke up from the ice. It welcomed the revival of life in early spring.
The spring breeze still carried some chill. Sirene wrapped herself in her leather coat and flew quickly on the grassland. She carefully protected the package on her back while vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.
It was early spring. There were interstellar beasts that had just woken up from hibernation everywhere.
After a winter of exhaustion, they were hungriest now. Their aggressiveness had increased a lot. Although their strength was relatively weaker, they were still very dangerous to her.
Especially now, the thing she was transporting was of utmost importance. There was no room for mistakes.
Even on the flat grassland, she didn't dare to fly in a straight line. She could only keep moving in a roundabout way to avoid the possible dangers ahead.
Fortunately, the wind was her best companion and guide. It transmitted dangers that couldn't be seen by the naked eye to her from afar, allowing her to travel safely.
In the past two months, she had been on the road to repair the base station.
There were a total of three base stations near the underground cave where they were currently residing. She would need three to four days to reach the furthest one even if she flew at full speed.
Fortunately, she didn't slack off in the past four years. She figured out the location and safe route of the base station in advance. That was why she didn't have a navigation map.
These three base stations were all destroyed by interstellar beasts. One of them even became an interstellar beast's nest. One could imagine the extent of the damage.
After the small robot scanned the three base stations, it finally chose the one with the least damage to repair.
This base station was also the furthest away.
Probably because it was farther from the main battlefield, it was relatively intact. However, this also caused a lot of trouble for the repair.
Without tools and parts, the only thing that improved was the guidance of the small robot. Although this kind of delicate work was still a challenge for Sirene and the others.
Now, Sirene was rushing through the night to dismantle the parts that could still be used from another base station. Using the advantage of being a Wind Elementalist, she transported these parts and the collected ones to the furthest base station.
She hadn't returned to the underground cave for a long time.
There were people guarding there. As long as they didn't come out, safety wasn't an issue. However, she would occasionally miss her brother and worry about his condition.
Sirene stopped at a bush and laid on the ground. She took out her water bag and drank some water. She was still tensed up and paying attention to the surroundings.
It was just that she couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The return date of the spaceship that Xiao Wu had mentioned was not far away …
"Weng —"
The communication device in her hand vibrated.
[Sister Sirene, stop looking. Focus on the road.]
A line of small words appeared on the light screen of the communication device. It was a reminder from the little robot.
[Even if the spaceship returns, we won't be able to contact it without a communication signal. We still have to quickly fix the base station.]
The little robot looked cute and innocent, but as an intelligent life, it was much more rational than adults like Sirene.
[Sister can't chase after spaceships anymore.]
[A large number of interstellar beasts will become active at the start of spring, and they will be in a state of extreme hunger. If Sister chases after the spaceship like last time, the danger level will increase by several times. It will be a completely suicidal action.]
Sirene looked at the little robot's persuasion, took a deep breath, and retracted her attention.
[Don't worry. I understand.]
She typed a reply, then put away her waterskin, carried the parts, and continued to rush to the target base. Her speed was faster than before.
The woman's figure turned into a gust of wind, galloping through the grassland, and continued to work hard for the future.
At the same time, high above the clouds, passing through the dangerous and complicated magnetic field and atmosphere, in the dark and deep outer space, the figure of a spaceship slowly flew out of the transition tunnel.
After two days of travel, the Starry Sky finally returned to the star sector where Ai XueXue Star was located.
Because of its black paint, it looked very inconspicuous. As soon as it appeared, its figure suddenly began to disappear —
Xiao Wu cautiously turned on stealth mode and began to scan the area around Ai XueXue Star. In the end, it really did find something unusual.
It was a mini spaceship hidden between the meteorites. There wasn't a single living thing in the spaceship. After Xiao Wu invaded it, it was completely under the control of the little artificial intelligence.
It was obvious that this spaceship was left behind by Beirut's lizardmen.
They were probably scared out of their wits after the previous spaceship was turned into fireworks. They didn't dare to send another spaceship and only left a mini spaceship here to monitor.
The spaceship was too small, so Xiao Wu wasn't interested in it.
After intercepting the information from the Starry Sky, it didn't care about the spaceship. It only left a clone program here, which would be activated once there was an anomaly.
Xu Sili agreed with its approach.
Roland needed time to develop, and Beirut's targeting was inevitable. If it was too extreme, it might force the lizardmen to change their strategy, which would be more troublesome.
It was better to let them "monitor" here. Anyway, with Xiao Wu here, the lizardmen wouldn't find the safe passage entrance.
After leaving everything to Xiao Wu, Xu Sili turned to Si Sheng.
"Brother Sheng, take me to Aunt Vir's room."
Si Sheng nodded and reached out to hug him. The two figures disappeared from the control room.
As for the two pilots who were suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food …
They looked at each other, then lowered their heads and pretended that they didn't see anything.
As for the relationship between the two big shots, after Her Majesty was kidnapped, it was already a public secret. Everyone thought it was pretty good, after all …
The General who lost Her Majesty was too scary qaq
In the cabin where Vir Roland was, Xu Sili and Si Sheng slowly appeared.
Doctor Ting wasn't there. Only the woman was quietly floating in the nutrient solution. Her long silver hair that reached her ankles silently floated in the air. There was an inexplicable sadness in her beauty.
Xu Sili slowly sighed.
After Ms. Ina's explanation, he finally knew that Vir Roland in front of him was the late emperor's sister, which was Snow's aunt.
Later on, he contacted Janice and even found Grand Duke Felton. Only then did he roughly understand the deeds of this aunt.
Back then, when the Star Alliance first opened the safe passage, this aunt Vir had a disagreement with her brother, who had already become the emperor.
The late emperor believed that they should focus on their own development and not rely on external forces.
On the other hand, Vir's aunt felt that they should seek help from other interstellar countries and learn from the advanced aspects of other civilizations to better help Roland get out of this predicament.
The two sides argued, and no one could convince the other.
In the end, Vir's aunt decided to leave with the Star Alliance's spaceship and go to outer space alone. She wanted to prove to the late emperor with her actions.
Because of the difficulty of communication, after leaving, there was no news of her at all.
The late emperor was very disappointed with his sister's actions. For a time, he thought that she was a deserter, but to the public, he only said that she was sick and needed to rest.
Gradually, because she never appeared in front of people again, many people didn't remember that there was such a princess in the royal family. Those who remembered thought that she died of illness.
In this regard, the late emperor didn't explain much, probably because he wanted to protect his sister's reputation.
This was what he learned from Duke Felton, but according to Ina and Dr. Ting, he knew the other side of the truth.
Vir Roland was not a deserter.
In the beginning, she did spend a lot of time learning about alien civilizations and adapting to the interstellar society, but later, after she became familiar with it, she began to work for the recovery of Roland.
Almost all the wanderers of Roland, as well as the survivors of the ancient country of Eshe Star, had received her invitation.
She was a princess with a noble status, second only to the emperor. She was thick-skinned and wore a mask to travel to various countries in the interstellar, fighting for all the power she could, and not letting go of any opportunity to earn resources for her motherland.
It could be said that 80% of the aid that Roland received in the past 30 years was obtained through various means by her.
After all, things had changed with the passage of time. Even if the old people from Eshe Star still remembered their motherland, they couldn't withstand the erosion of hundreds of years. Without someone to hold it together, everything would fade away with time.
Princess Vir was the link that connected them to Roland.
However, most of the people who sponsored them helped through the Star Alliance, and the Star Alliance would not specifically mention Vir Roland, and they didn't even know her role.
Therefore, in the inaccessible Roland Empire, no one knew about the princess' contributions to the empire.
She left Eshe Star when she was 20 years old, and after 33 years, she finally returned to her motherland, but in such a state, it was really lamentable.
Xu Sili also learned a secret from Duke Felton …
Xiao Qiong was actually the child of Vir's aunt.
"About 10 years ago, Princess Vir's shadow guard brought back a child, and … the news of her death. That child was Princess Vir."
Xu Sili recalled Duke Felton's words. He also knew that after the shadow guard gave the child to the former emperor, he asked for permission to go to the frontline and never came back.
He should have died in the beast tide four years ago.
"Ali?"
At this time, Si Sheng gently held his hand.
Xu Sili turned his head and saw his worried eyes. He blinked his slightly sour eyes and shook his head. "Nothing. I just feel that the Roland family really knows how to poke at people's heartstrings."
Although he wasn't dead, how good would it be to be in this half-dead state?
"Do you think I should tell Xiao Qiong about this?" Xu Sili asked.
He had found it strange before. Among the four children of the former emperor, three of them had silver hair and purple eyes, but only Xiao Qiong had black hair.
He thought that the former emperor, that old pervert, had married another girl after the former emperor passed away, but now it seemed that he was wrong. No wonder he was so surprised when he talked about Xiao Qiong in the trial world.
Si Sheng looked at the troubled young man. He could feel that the young man valued the House of Roland. Even though they were not his real family, he often felt sad because of them.
Although he could not understand, since it was something that he valued, he would not neglect it.
"His Highness Qiong is still young. Maybe we can wait for him to grow up," Si Sheng said.
Xu Sili nodded. "You're right. He's still too young. Even if we don't wait for him to grow up, we have to wait for Aunt Vir to wake up first."
He looked up at the girl in the nutrition cabin and said softly, "Xiao Qiong is growing very fast. I heard from Li Zheyu that he has already broken through one star and is working hard to reach one and a half stars."
"Aunt Vir, if you don't want to miss his growth, wake up soon."
When he said this, he added sound elements into his voice to see if he could stimulate her, but in the end …
"Beep — beep —"
The nutrition cabin's monitoring device suddenly emitted a sharp alarm.
Reality, Xu Group Headquarters.
Xu Yuheng pushed open the door to the CEO's office and walked into the office in high spirits. He walked in front of Xu Fengqing.
"Star Age's first batch of game cabins has been successfully delivered. The server will be on time in three days …"
Xu Fengqing listened attentively to his report and nodded slightly.
After a few months of hard work, the crisis of the Xu Group was finally completely resolved with the help of the Yin and Yin families. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Big brother, you should have time to enter the game during the open beta, right?"
After Xu Yuheng finished his report, he told him the real purpose of his trip. "Don't think about rejecting me again, or I'll tell mom and dad."
Xu Fengqing glanced at him. "Xu Yuheng, are you still a three-year-old kid?"
Xu Yuheng didn't care about his mockery. He promised Xiao Li at the end of the second beta that he would drag Xu Fengqing into the game to see him!
In the end, Xu Fengqing had no choice but to use his trump card. "There are no more game cabins."
Xu Yuheng paused for a second before he figured it out.
"Are you serious? Did you sell the one I gave you before? "
Seeing that Xu Fengqing didn't deny it, Xu Yuheng couldn't help but cry, "You're too crazy!"
There really wasn't a single game cabin left. The others were still being manufactured overnight in the factory. There was no way they could make it in time for the open beta!
"It's better to give it to someone who needs it than to leave it here and collect dust." Xu Fengqing shrugged.
Xu Yuheng looked at him and suddenly narrowed his eyes. "If I can get you a game cabin, will you enter the game with me?"
Xu Fengqing looked up at him, paused for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
Xu Yuheng was pleasantly surprised when he saw that his attitude had changed. "Okay, just you wait!"
Then, he turned around and left.
"Don't harass the buyer." Xu Fengqing said sternly.
"Don't worry."
Xu Yuheng didn't even look back. He just waved at him.
Xu Fengqing was a little lost as he watched him leave. Then, he laughed at himself.
