The weather was clear tonight, with no clouds in the sky. Only the bright moon hung high in the sky.
Xu Sili put on a robe and strolled leisurely in the hallway, heading in the direction of the large bath in his memory.
He had already sent a message to Janice, asking her to order the servants to prepare everything for the bath. Although she was injured, she didn't need to do it herself, she could just let the maids do it.
He didn't walk quickly, giving the maids enough time to prepare.
Well, as a monarch, he was very considerate.
A gust of wind blew past his face, causing his silver-white hair to flutter in the air.
Xu Sili walked and walked, slowly stopping at the end of the hallway.
He looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, his purple eyes slightly dimmed, and his whole person was shrouded in a layer of melancholy.
Probably because the moonlight was too intoxicating, some of the emotions that were ignored during the day inexplicably came to his mind.
He suddenly felt a little …
He missed his parents and brothers …
"Star Age" was developed nearly ten years after his death, which means, in reality, it has been about three thousand years.
Mom, Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother …
And Grandpa and Grandma … are they okay?
Xu Sili pursed his lips, standing in the moonlight, his breath became a little cold.
In a dark corner where the young man couldn't perceive, some silent communication was going on.
"What's wrong with His Majesty?"
"Maybe he's thinking of the Second Prince? I heard that His Majesty and the Princess have a very good relationship. "
"Ai, poor thing, he's still a child …"
"Eleven, be careful, don't be discovered!"
"Discovered? Ying Jiu, you're too cautious, how could His Majesty discover us? "
"His Majesty has already become a Spirit Elementalist …"
"So what? Even Justin might not be able to discover us, let alone His Majesty? "
"But, don't you think His Majesty has become stronger?"
The other voice didn't speak.
After a long time, it said, "It seems … he's stronger than he was during the day."
Xu Sili didn't notice the communication between the two shadows. He stood under the moon for a while, then continued to walk in the direction of the bath.
In the end …
"Ha! Ha! "
A small voice came from the wind. It was very soft and far away. If it was in the past, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly.
However, it was different now. The sound element had become his microphone, and he could hear the commotion coming from even further away.
Xu Sili was somewhat vigilant. He pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
It seemed like … there was no danger?
It sounded like the voice of a child.
But how could there be a child in the palace? He misheard … Xu Sili suddenly paused as he thought of a certain name.
Could it be him …
Xu Sili hesitated for a moment, then his feet moved slightly, and he walked in the direction of the sound.
As for safety, it should be fine in the palace, right?
Didn't Li Zheyu say that there were secret guards protecting him?
With this in mind, Xu Sili looked around as he walked.
He had the Favorable Impression System. As long as one was a human, they shouldn't even think about hiding around him. After all, with a tag on their head, they were just like a target. It would be difficult for him not to discover them.
Of course, if it was too far away, he might not be able to see it clearly.
In a certain corner of the shadows, the communication that had been silent became active again.
"Where is His Majesty going?"
"I don't know. Just follow him."
"He's looking around. Is he looking for something? Hmm? Why do I feel like … His Majesty is looking at me? "
"Don't be so nervous. His Majesty has become stronger, but it's not to the extent that he can discover us."
"Really? Are you sure? "
"Really, I'm sure."
"But … but … I really feel like His Majesty is looking at us!"
Xu Sili looked not far away, about twenty meters away from him, under a large rock, two tags were floating on it.
[Respect] [Respect]
One was darker, and the other was lighter.
He furrowed his brows and stealthily threw out two Detection Spells.
[Ying 9]
Identity: NPC
Personal Level: LV19
HP: 71500/71500
Magic: 1100/1100
Elemental Affinity: Dark
Profession: Warrior
[Ying 11]
Identity: NPC
Personal Level: LV18
HP: 68000/68000
Magic: 1000/1000
Elemental Affinity: Dark
Profession: Warrior
Looking at the interface that appeared, Xu Sili nodded and retracted his gaze.
Although he was not as good as Li Zheyu, he was much better than Janice. Moreover, these two shadow guards were very good at hiding.
If an enemy really appeared, he could control them with his song. These two shadow guards would then attack him, and he felt that they were very lethal.
Of course, if he did not encounter a monster like Si Sheng.
Xu Sili continued to walk in the direction of the sound.
He felt much more at ease with someone protecting him. Moreover, he was only LV7, but his HP was half of Ying 11's. He might even surpass Janice's HP soon.
His own strength always made him feel more confident.
Soon, Xu Sili left the corridor and walked around the high wall. Finally, he stopped at a certain spot.
There was a hollowed out window here. He stood outside and could see the situation inside the wall.
It was an open-air courtyard.
In the open space, there stood a short figure.
His short black hair swayed gently as he waved and chopped the wooden sword in his hand. Under the silver moonlight, it glowed faintly.
It was a young boy of about ten years old.
His facial features were not clear, but from the side of his face, he was not bad looking. He should be a handsome young man.
He held a wooden sword in his hand and was chopping at the wooden dummy in front of him.
Although he was young, his face was full of determination.
His training must have been going on for a while. In this cold night, he felt like he was dripping with sweat. His back was wet.
"Ha! Ha! "
He chopped with his sword again and again, tirelessly.
"Your Highness, it's time to rest." At this time, a gentle female voice sounded.
"Natasha, you go to sleep first. I want to practice for a while." The young boy did not turn around. He continued to chop with his sword, making a "da da da" sound.
"Your Highness, you have a psychic talent …" The maid named Natasha wanted to persuade him again.
"So what?"
The young boy said coldly, "My brother is also a powerful psychic elementalist, but what happened in the end? When your magic power reaches zero, your body is your last resort! "
Natasha looked at him worriedly, frowning slightly. "Your Highness, you won't fall into that situation …"
"Who knows?"
The young boy said lightly, stabbing the wooden dummy's heart with his sword.
Natasha hesitated for a moment, then said, "But Your Highness, you still have to go to the academy tomorrow …"
"I will wake up on time."
Seeing that he was so insistent, Natasha sighed. "Alright, I will prepare some cooked food for you. You can eat it after training."
"Mm, prepare some for Snowball too."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Along with the sound of footsteps, the maid named Natasha left the courtyard.
The young boy was not affected. He was still staring at the wooden dummy in front of him, as if he was looking at some mortal enemy. He kept chopping and stabbing with his wooden sword.
Every move and every move was executed in a proper manner.
Although he was a psychic elementalist, his physical fitness was comparable to some warriors of the same age.
The two shadow guards guarding Xu Sili in the distance began to talk again.
"Isn't this the Young Highness?"
"At such a young age, he is very hardworking and talented. He is more hardworking than His Majesty … cough cough, more hardworking than many people."
"Yes, but why is His Majesty here? I heard … when His Majesty was still a prince, there was a bit of enmity between him and the Young Highness, so he came here … "
"Ying Jiu, why do you seem to know everything?"
"Isn't this something that many people know? Well, don't talk, keep watching. "
In front of the window, Xu Sili looked at the young boy in the courtyard, recalling the memory of Snow Roland.
In his memory, Snow and Joan did not have a good relationship.
In this generation of the House of Roland, there were a total of four princes and princesses. Of the four, only the Third Prince, Snow, was ordinary and did not have the talent of an elementalist.
As for Joan, she was the one with the best talent.
He was now only ten years old, but he had already reached level five, which was half a star strength. When he was eighteen years old, he would have no problem reaching one star, or even one and a half stars.
Towards his eldest brother and second sister, Sino Roland was respectful, but towards his youngest brother, his feelings were very complicated.
Before Xiao Qiong was five years old, he liked this little brother very much.
Although he did not live a good life, he would share the good things with him. No matter how scared he was, he would stand up and protect him from being bullied by the servants.
At that time, Snow regarded Joan as his emotional sustenance.
However, when the five-year-old Xiao Qiong was tested to have a strong talent as an elementalist, everything began to change.
Snow was happy for his little brother, but at the same time, he could not suppress the disappointment and jealousy in his heart.
Obviously, the same blood flowed in his body, but he was completely ordinary. Obviously, he was a prince, but in the palace, he was ignored like a transparent person.
Except for his second sister, no one seemed to remember him.
Therefore, when Xiao Qiong was allowed to leave the palace and register at the Elementalist College, the two brothers gradually drifted apart.
Later on, they quarreled over a small matter, and from then on, the two of them did not speak anymore.
After Snow ascended the throne, he did not think about his youngest brother, and even when he decided to abandon the throne and escape from Ai Xue Xing, he did not think about bringing him along.
Xu Sili recalled and sighed.
If he had not activated the Favorability System, he would not have known that Joan Roland, the younger brother Snow hated and envied, was actually his die-hard fan.
He believed that the System would not be wrong about this.
At the same time, he was speechless.
At this moment, if the game designer was standing in front of him, Xu Sili would definitely beat his dog head without mercy.
What happened to being the overbearing ruler of a country?
Why did he have to go through such a ridiculous growth experience?
Fortunately, he was here now.
Everything he saw in the Future Forum would not happen.
It was even more impossible for brothers to fight each other.
Xu Sili took one last look at the young boy in the courtyard, turned around, and prepared to leave. He did not want to disturb his cultivation.
But …
"Rustle —"
The sound of shoes rubbing against the ground was not particularly loud, but it was still heard.
"Who's there?!"
The young boy's childish voice was heard.
Xu Sili only had time to turn his head and watch as the short figure rushed over quickly and nimbly jumped over the wall, landing directly in front of him.
It only took a blink of an eye.
Joan Roland was truly worthy of his talent and hard work.
The young boy glared at him coldly with his purple eyes, and was about to attack with the wooden sword in his hand, but when he saw Xu Sili's face, he could not help but freeze in place.
"Royal … royal brother?"
He looked up at Xu Sili, and his originally cold little face became adorable in an instant.
Xu Sili did not expect the little brat to be so reckless. He rushed over directly when he heard the noise, and it seemed that he wanted to fight with him.
He looked at the young boy, and his face suddenly darkened.
"What are you doing?"
"I …"
Joan looked at the wooden sword in his hand and hurriedly put it behind his back.
A trace of panic flashed in the young boy's purple eyes, but soon, his little face tensed up again.
"I should be the one asking this question."
He looked up and looked straight at Xu Sili, and even seemed a little angry.
"It's so late, why is royal brother here? Didn't you just encounter an assassin last night? Where's Li Zheyu? Why did he let you run around? "
At such a young age, he was full of vigor when he was angry.
For a moment, Xu Sili was a little scared.
However, he felt the concern in the young boy's words. This kind of familial bond made his originally somewhat gloomy mood suddenly brightened up a little.
"I came to see you."
He said in a gentle tone.
"Came to see …"
At first, he was very aggressive, but in the end, he suddenly weakened and turned into a confused voice.
"See … see me?"
He stared blankly at Xu Sili.
"Yes, who knew you would suddenly rush out and want to hit me?" Xu Sili walked over, stretched out his hand, and rubbed his head.
"You think I'm an assassin?"
Speaking of this, his voice suddenly became stern. "What if you're really an assassin? What do you want to do with a wooden sword? "
The young boy was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain, but no sound came out.
His originally jade-white ears slowly turned red.
He lowered his head slightly, allowing Xu Sili to rub his head.
"I saw that you were quite smart just now. You know that you need to practice martial arts. Why did you suddenly become stupid?"
Xu Sili said resentfully.
"Next time you feel that something is wrong, run quickly, or call for help before you fight, understand?"
"Yes, royal brother."
The young boy lowered his head and answered obediently.
Not hearing the rebuttal that he expected, Xu Sili was stunned for a moment, then slightly curved his lips.
[This child … is really quite obedient.]
"It's good that you know, don't make me worry." He whispered, "I only have one little brother, what if something happens to you?"
The young boy suddenly looked up, his round purple eyes staring at Xu Sili.
It was as if he couldn't believe it, but also a little excited.
Xu Sili rubbed his head again, the child's hair was soft and thin, so it felt particularly good to touch.
He didn't say anything else, instead turning around, walking around the side door, and walking into Qiong's small courtyard.
Since he had been discovered, he might as well stroll around casually.
Qiong looked at her brother's back, a trace of joy appearing in her eyes, but she quickly reacted, grabbed her sword, and trotted after him.
Not far away, the two shadows communicated again.
"Didn't you say … the relationship between these two brothers is bad?" Ying Eleven asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like they're on good terms?"
"How should I know? The rumour is that their relationship is really bad … "Ying Jiu said somewhat depressed.
"That's why seeing is believing, you shouldn't always listen to gossip, it affects your judgment."
"I know …"
Ying Jiu's voice was muffled, "Do you want to go in? Or do you want to just wait outside? "
"Just wait outside, in any case, the Little Highness has people around him."
"En …"
The two shadows quietly crept up, guarding the surroundings.
Inside the courtyard, as soon as Xu Sili walked in, he saw the Favourable Impression tag floating in the corner.
Seeing that it was Respect, Yang Kai didn't waste any of his Demonic Qi and pretended not to see it, walking around the courtyard before finally arriving in front of the wooden figurine and carefully examining it.
Yang Kai hadn't seen it clearly when he was outside, but now that he was closer, he found that this shabby wooden figurine had long been scarred.
Countless old scars and new scars showed how hard its owner had trained.
"Brother Huang …"
At this time, Qiong came up behind him and looked at him with some hesitation, but there was a faint longing in her eyes.
Xu Sili turned around and smiled at him.
"Xiao Qiong is very strong."
Looking at the smile on his face, the young boy blushed slightly and quickly shook his head, "I'm still too weak, I'm still far from that!"
"Brother Huang, I saw the broadcast, you were in Mercenary Town today …"
"You actually saw it too?"
Xu Sili raised his eyebrows slightly as he recalled the scene in Mercenary Town today. Even now, he still felt that it was very exciting.
"Indeed, we're still far from that."
"If Si Sheng hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid it wouldn't have ended well … Even though it was heavily injured, that three-star beast was still so strong."
Qiong looked at him and pursed his lips.
Actually, what he wanted to say was … his brother was very brave today.
He also wanted to say that when he grew up, he would protect him like the Grand Marshal.
But … he couldn't say it.
His brother didn't seem to like him …
"Take it slow, you're still young, you still have a long time to cultivate in the future, there's no need to rush."
Xu Sili shook his head and didn't continue this topic.
His gaze moved slightly as he became interested in the sword in the young boy's hand.
Qiong saw this and took the initiative to pass the wooden sword to him.
Xu Sili didn't refuse.
This wooden sword looked light, but unexpectedly, it was quite heavy in his hand.
After using [Insight Technique], he realized that it was made of a special material and was very heavy. Xiao Qiong was so young, but he was able to lift this heavy sword with ease.
It seemed that he had been training hard all this time.
While playing with this wooden sword, Xu Sili suddenly remembered the sword skill that Si Sheng had used during the day.
With a single slash, the Frost Beast was cut into two halves!
He licked his lips and searched Si Sheng's skill panel. Soon, he found it.
[Imprisonment Sword]
Description: A killing move. After using the sword skill, the enemy will be imprisoned in place for 3 seconds. During the imprisonment, all defences will be lost.
At the same time, you will slash once. After this slash, you will be temporarily unable to use the sword again for 1 minute.
Skill Level: Lv10 (Max)
Stamina Requirement: 100%
Attribute: Lightning
Xu Sili looked at the skill description and couldn't help but be shocked.
No wonder!
The frozen beast suddenly seemed to be frozen. After being cut in half, it fell to the ground and blood flowed everywhere.
So it turned out that he had been imprisoned.
This was a martial arts skill. To use this sword skill, he had to use 100% of his stamina.
If he encountered an enemy and used this skill, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist at all. However, he was in the palace now and there were secret guards guarding him.
Why not … give it a try?
Xu Sili frowned and pondered. This was a killing move. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not use it. However, he still needed to practice and be sure that he knew what to do.
He looked at the young boy next to him and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xiao Qiong, can I borrow your wooden sword?"
Qiong nodded. "Brother, please use it."
Then, he saw his brother curl his lips slightly and reveal an incomparably gentle smile. Then, he looked around the courtyard and walked towards the big stone in the corner.
Seeing that he was about to get into position, Qiong hurriedly said, "Brother, let's chop the wooden dummy."
"No, I don't want to break your wooden dummy." Xu Sili said.
If he broke it, he wouldn't have the money to pay for it.
Qiong frowned. "This wooden dummy is very sturdy! It's harder than a stone. "
"Yes, I know."
Xu Sili nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the big stone in front of him. This was Si Sheng's sword. It was very powerful. He didn't want any accidents to happen.
Qiong wanted to come over but was stopped by Xu Sili.
"Just stand there. Don't come over."
Qiong had no choice but to obey. He frowned and looked at him in confusion.
What was his brother trying to do?
On the other hand, Xu Sili took a deep breath and looked at the skill panel.
With a slight thought, he decided to use it.
In just a second, he suddenly felt a powerful energy fill his body. His body seemed to be occupied by another incomparably powerful soul.
That powerful soul … was Si Sheng!
Xu Sili felt that at this moment, he seemed to have become Si Sheng. Or rather, Si Sheng was controlling his body.
It was a strange and mysterious feeling.
He focused his eyes and locked his eyes on the big stone in front of him.
Imprisonment!
A formless aura locked onto the rock, and even the grass growing on it stopped.
Then … he swung his sword.
There was no sound. There was no huge movement. In silence, a straight line appeared on the stone.
The wind blew gently.
Then, the stone that was half the height of a person was silently cut in half. The cut was as smooth as a mirror.
Silence. It was suddenly silent.
Xu Sili looked at the big stone that was cut in half. He couldn't believe that this was the result of a wooden sword.
Then, the feeling of being possessed disappeared.
A huge sense of emptiness and exhaustion spread throughout his body. He almost couldn't stand still.
[Ding. Imprisonment Sword lv10 has been successfully activated. Stamina -100]
Xu Sili's legs felt weak.
He felt like he ran 1500 meters in a second.
But the result of the experiment was delightful.
Si Sheng's skill was too useful! This Shackling Sword was too cool!
Qiong opened his mouth slightly and stared at the big stone in a daze.
Although the wooden sword was harder than the stone, but to cut the stone in half so smoothly … was it possible for a normal person to do it?
Anyway … he couldn't do it.
It was impossible.
Xu Sili forced himself to walk back in a good mood. He then returned the wooden sword to Qiong.
He didn't explain what happened. Instead, he asked with a smile.
"Xiao Qiong, do you want to take a bath with me?"
Qiong shook his head mechanically. "I … I'm going back to sleep."
Then, under Xu Sili's confused gaze, he turned and ran into his bedroom.
When he saw Xu Sili turn and leave through the window, he looked away. He sat on the ground and recalled the powerful sword just now.
"Meow."
After some time, a cat meowed. A snowy white figure came to Qiong's side and gently licked his face.
He suddenly pouted and hugged the snowy white cat. He sobbed, "Snowball, I can't protect big brother anymore … Sob, big brother has become so strong …"
The little boy curled up in the shadows. He had completely lost his mind. Luckily, there was a cat quietly accompanying him …
As the initiator, Xu Sili didn't know what happened. When he saw Qiong suddenly run away, although he was confused, he didn't chase after him.
Feeling the cold night wind, he couldn't help but shiver. Then he remembered why he came out in the middle of the night.
Take a bath!
Xu Sili hurriedly turned around and dragged his heavy footsteps in the direction of the large bathtub …
At the same time, he and the two shadow guards didn't notice that a figure stopped on the wall and then disappeared.
