In the alley, the neon lights intersected with the darkness of the night. People were moving around, and it was noisy.
However, at this moment, Si Sheng's world was silent and blank. Only the young man in front of him was left.
He looked at him in a daze, then raised his right hand and picked up the blue stone hanging in front of his chest. He looked down and stared.
It was very ordinary, but …
It was more beautiful than all the gemstones he had ever seen.
The Lord God had also given him many treasures, but he had always been so casual about them. It was as if he had given him the whole world, and it was not worth mentioning.
Yes, he was a god.
He clenched his fists and looked up at the silver-haired young man in front of him who was paying the bill. He smiled at the shop owner, and his beautiful eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon.
Si Sheng opened his mouth but could not find his voice.
He had waited for too long, and when the moment came, he was at a loss.
It was really him … right?
"Boss, how much is this necklace?"
Xu Sili did not notice Si Sheng's abnormality. He looked at the stall owner and asked.
The stall owner, who was soliciting customers, looked over and then widened his eyes in surprise, as if he was surprised to see two people standing in front of his stall.
But soon, the surprise in his eyes turned into confusion, then realization and excitement.
It was … Lord Guardian God …
And, and …
His Majesty?!
"Boss, how much is this necklace?"
Xu Sili looked at him and asked again patiently. There was still a gentle smile on his face.
The stall owner was an elderly man.
At this moment, he swallowed his saliva and looked around nervously. He seemed to be confused. Why did no one notice the two important people in front of him?
However, he did not dare to say anything and just waved his hand hurriedly.
"No … no need …"
The old man stammered and his face was red. After a while, he finally finished his sentence.
"This is for you, Lord God. It's a token of my appreciation."
"That won't do." Xu Sili shook his head. "Boss, this is a small business …"
"No! It's really not necessary! "
Seeing that the young man wanted to pay, the stall owner raised his voice.
Si Sheng, who had been in a daze, came back to his senses. He couldn't help but frown and stare at him sharply.
The stall owner immediately froze. He felt an enormous pressure. It was so heavy that it felt like it could topple mountains and overturn seas. It almost caused him to collapse.
However, he still looked at Si Sheng with eyes full of worship and gratitude.
"Sir, I … I really can't accept your money …" The old man was trembling as he spoke, and his eyes were wet.
"Three … Three years ago during the Beast Tide, thank you … thank you for saving my grandson …"
The old man's voice was trembling.
"It's my blessing that you and this … this young master took a fancy to my necklace. Please accept it!"
Xu Sili couldn't help but look at Si Sheng.
It seemed that this Guardian Deity had a very high reputation in the Roland Empire.
However, at this moment, because of the old man's excited voice, some people around gradually paid attention to this side.
Si Sheng's "Passerby Aura" could only reduce the attention of others, but it didn't make him completely invisible.
Just like this stall owner, when Xu Sili spoke, he noticed them and immediately recognized them.
Xu Sili enjoyed his current low profile status very much. He didn't want to be surrounded by people again.
He didn't want to take advantage of the old man. He casually threw a hundred Aixue coins, grabbed Si Sheng's hand, and dragged him to the end of the alley, ignoring the stall owner's pleas to stay.
Soon, they blended into the crowd.
The stall owner took the money and chased after them. However, when he looked around, he realized that they were already gone.
He was stunned, then sighed and walked back to the stall.
He looked at the Aixue coins in his hand, then took out a metal box and carefully put it in.
This was given to him by His Majesty!
He didn't think much of this little Emperor before. However, since the Guardian Deity supported His Majesty, what reason did he have to object?
The old man smiled and decided that when he returned, he would frame these 100 pieces and make them his family heirloom!
[Ding. Popular support + 1%. Current popular support: 54%]
[Attention: When the popular support drops below 50%, there may be a popular uprising.]
Xu Sili who was dragging Si Sheng through the crowd was stunned when he saw the panel that suddenly popped up.
How could he have inexplicably gained the support of nearly a million people without doing anything?
But soon, Xu Sili understood.
It should be that the live broadcast of the rebuilding of the Mercenary Town on the arena attracted the attention of the people and increased his popular support.
This was simply a stroke of genius!
Although 1% didn't seem like much, it was only in a day.
In the future, when more people saw the situation of the Mercenary Town, saw the town become prosperous, and put the construction of other places on the agenda, he believed that more people would support him.
Then there wouldn't be a popular uprising!
Thinking of this, Xu Sili couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Speaking of which, who was it that wanted to broadcast the rebuilding of the town? What a little genius!
Oh, there was also that female reporter called Pei Lin.
Xu Sili also saw the broadcast of the battle with the Three-star Beast. That reporter really spared no effort in praising him. It was the same for this live broadcast.
Xu Sili who came from the era of traffic knew the importance of marketing.
If he wanted to increase the popular support, he couldn't hide it. Since he didn't want to exaggerate, he just wanted to show what he did.
He didn't think about this before, but he didn't expect someone to do it for him.
Xu Sili smiled and felt that this wasn't bad.
He thought to himself and didn't realize that … …
He was still holding someone's hand.
Si Sheng walked behind the youth and was a bit absent-minded. Because at this moment, all of his attention was on their hands.
The youth's hands were much smaller than his.
Different from his rough hands, the pampered little emperor's palms were very smooth. His slender fingers had the strength of a man.
Holding him tightly like this, the warmth that slowly spread over made him … …
He heard his own drumming heartbeat.
They walked forward with the crowd.
The surroundings were very noisy, but Si Sheng felt that it was very quiet. It was so quiet that only the two of them were left.
He even had some hope … …
This road could never stop.
However, that was destined to be impossible.
Xu Sili followed the crowd to a square. In the square, there were people from a circus performing.
The audience seemed to have seen something wonderful, and they all clapped and cheered.
Xu Sili couldn't help but balance the tips of his feet.
In order to maintain his balance, he let go of the hand of the person behind him.
Si Sheng looked at his hand that was let go. His gray-blue eyes showed some disappointment, like an abandoned puppy.
However, the youth standing in front of him didn't notice this.
He was looking, but they were too far from the center of the square. The crowd was so crowded that he couldn't see the circus performance at all.
Xu Sili pursed his lips.
Just as he was thinking about whether or not to give up, a strong arm suddenly hugged his waist from behind and pulled him back into the youth's embrace.
He blinked.
Could it be that there was some danger?
This had happened several times today. For the sake of his life, Xu Sili didn't move even though he felt a little uncomfortable.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Si Sheng's body seemed to be trembling.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before it was quickly rejected. Because Si Sheng was so strong, it was hard for him to imagine what could make him tremble in fear.
They stood quietly in the crowd.
No one was paying attention to them.
Si Sheng lowered his head slightly. The fringe in front of his forehead fell and cast a shadow over his eyes.
No one saw his expression at that moment, and no one noticed … … the hesitation and uneasiness hidden in his eyes turned into suppressed joy and madness.
This state didn't last long. Before Xu Sili could ask questions, Si Sheng suppressed the trembling in his body and lowered his head. He carefully and restrained himself and whispered in his ear.
"I … … will take you to a higher place."
The man's voice was low and hoarse. It suddenly drilled into his ears and hit his eardrums.
Xu Sili frowned slightly. He felt that something was wrong.
However, before he had time to investigate, he felt his vision blur and a sense of dizziness surged into his brain.
When the dizziness disappeared, Xu Sili realized that he was no longer in the square. Instead, he was … …
Si Sheng carried him to the clock tower of the Imperial City!
Standing at the top of the bell tower, one's field of vision was vast. One could see the lanterns below, and one could also see the bright starry sky above them.
Xu Sili was captivated by this scenery.
He didn't even try to break free from Si Sheng's embrace.
Behind him, Si Sheng carefully hugged his waist and closed his eyes. He restrained himself and greedily sniffed his scent.
Lord … …
It's really you, isn't it?
A gift … … Only you would give me a gift.
My skills are ineffective against you and I can be easily captured by you and turned into your puppet. You can even sing that song … …
So, how can it not be you?
It must be … …
Si Sheng firmly suppressed the last trace of doubt in his heart.
How can it not be him?
There were so many details and so many familiar conversations … … So, how can it not be him?
The young man in front of him was the existence he had yearned for for many years.
Yes, it can't be wrong.
He tried hard to control his trembling body and not let himself show any signs of abnormality.
Xu Sili didn't feel anything. He looked at the starry sky above and chuckled as he watched the circus performance below.
It was a little far and he still couldn't see clearly.
However, this place was far away from the crowd and he could use his spiritual power smoothly.
"Hey, Si Sheng."
He looked down and shouted to the person behind him. "I want to watch the performance. Help me like you did just now."
"Okay."
Si Sheng responded. Other than his slightly hoarse voice, he was no different from usual.
Xu Sili chuckled. However, he quickly thought of something and asked, "Is this the only way for your spiritual power to guide me?"
It was the same in the alley just now. When he suddenly hugged him, he was shocked.
Si Sheng pursed his lips. His blonde hair covered his ears and they were slightly red.
"Yes."
His eyes flickered as he responded in a low voice.
Xu Sili nodded and thought to himself that it was indeed so.
Although it felt a little strange, it was his fault for being so weak. He could only do this for now.
Thinking of what he read in a novel, he asked again, "Is it because the more you use your spiritual power, the faster you improve?"
"Yes."
Si Sheng was a man of few words. Xu Sili was already used to it.
Hearing the affirmative answer, he nodded and didn't waste any more time. Instead, he closed his eyes and spread out his spiritual power. He entered that mysterious state again.
The scene within five meters appeared clearly in his mind again.
First, he "saw" himself.
To be precise, he saw himself being hugged by Si Sheng.
It was actually a very beautiful scene.
Under the bright stars, the silver-haired boy standing on the clock tower was being hugged by a man in a military uniform. The wind blew his hair and the man's snow-white cloak fluttered in the wind.
Beneath their feet was a city filled with dazzling lights, creating a romantic scene.
If this was reality and the person being hugged wasn't himself, Xu Sili felt that he might have taken a screenshot of this scene and made it into his computer desktop.
But now, there was an indescribable strangeness in his heart.
Just as Xu Sili frowned slightly and almost withdrew from this mysterious state, a light screen suddenly appeared in front of his "eyes."
[Ding ~ [Filming] system has been activated. Would you like to start filming?]
Xu Sili's attention was immediately diverted.
What?
There's a filming system?
But then again …
That's right. This is a game after all. It has a built-in filming function … It doesn't seem that strange.
And he even had a player's upgrade panel. It didn't seem strange to have a filming system.
Xu Sili focused his attention on the filming system. As his mind moved slightly, he only heard a slight "click" sound. Then, a new prompt appeared.
[Filming successful.]
[The photo has been saved in the album. You can go to the album to rename it.]
Xu Sili wanted to flip through the photo album, but he suddenly felt a gust of golden energy invade him, gently touching his light purple spiritual power.
It was Si Sheng.
He was beginning to guide him.
Well, I'll flip through the album when I get back. Now, I'll watch the circus performance first!
Xu Sili calmed his mind. Under the guidance of the powerful golden energy, he slowly spread his spiritual power to the square below.
The circus performance was clearly presented in his mind.
He had naturally watched circus performances before, but he had never "watched" it in such a special way like this.
Xu Sili carefully felt his current state.
It felt very good.
He had a feeling that the world was in his control. Nothing could escape his observation.
In this state, Xu Sili's nerves, which had been tense since he transmigrated, relaxed a little.
He was wrapped in a happy and relieved mood.
He enjoyed this state. His body relaxed as well. He lazily leaned into the embrace of the person behind him.
Si Sheng was slightly startled. Then, the corners of his mouth gently curved up.
He hugged the young man.
As if he was hugging his whole world.
At this time, Xu Sili had a strange discovery.
He controlled his spiritual power and scanned the square. Finally, he looked up and "looked" down. He was surprised to find that …
There was a large magic array on the square!
It was right below the people's feet. The place where the circus was performing was right in the center of the magic array.
After discovering this, he was very curious and threw a Detection Spell down.
Suddenly, a light screen appeared.
[Imperial City Summoning Array]
Description:
There was an ancient legend in the Roland Empire. According to legend, when certain conditions were met, the ancient giant summoning array would automatically unseal itself.
Heroes from another world would be summoned to save the people from the abyss of suffering and lead the Roland Empire back to its peak.
Status: Sealed.
Time until opening: 29 days 11 hours 56 minutes
Xu Sili looked at the description of the magic array and couldn't help but be stunned.
Heroes from another world …
Weren't they just players?
So this Imperial City Summoning Array … Damn, this was the spawning point of the players!
Time until opening …
Was this referring to the first closed beta test?
He looked at the time on the clock tower. It was 10: 04 at night.
In other words, the first closed beta test would begin at 10: 00 a.m. in a month's time?
At that time … he would be able to see his second brother!
Finally knowing the exact time of the first closed beta test, Xu Sili was very excited.
This was great!
One month …
Only one month's time …
Xu Sili smiled. He suddenly felt full of motivation.
Although there were only 24 days left before he had to pay the ten million alliance fee, he was not afraid at all.
Because in a few days, he would be able to reunite with his family!
Their spiritual energy intertwined. Si Sheng could easily feel the sudden excitement in the young man's heart.
He was a little confused.
What … was going on?
"Si Sheng, let's go back."
At this time, Xu Sili opened his eyes and said.
He wanted to go back and train! He wanted to increase his strength!
Whether it was meditation or singing, he still had many things to do.
He had enough to relax now. He couldn't relax just because he found a way to level up quickly.
Although Si Sheng was a little unwilling, he still nodded. "Okay, I'll bring you back."
"You can just teleport me."
Xu Sili said, "I don't want to walk anymore. It's a waste of time."
Si Sheng was slightly stunned. Waste of time …
Was it a waste of time to be with him?
"Si Sheng?"
Perhaps because he had been silent for too long, the young man called out to him again with a little confusion.
Si Sheng pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Okay."
Then, Xu Sili was carried through the imperial city. They had walked for several hours before reaching the square, but now, they were back in front of the palace gates after a few teleportations.
Xu Sili looked at the towering palace gates not far away and felt a little shocked.
Damn, this skill … was too awesome!
He couldn't help but marvel at Si Sheng's freakishness. At the same time, he was glad that he had turned him into a puppet.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight against such a boss-level powerhouse.
However, after waiting for a while, seeing that Si Sheng was still standing there, Xu Sili looked back strangely.
They were standing under a big tree.
The shadow was blocking, so he couldn't see Si Sheng's condition clearly.
Why wasn't he moving?
"Did you use up all your magic and need to recover?" Xu Sili asked.
He didn't get an answer immediately.
Because of the movement of turning his head, his cheek seemed to touch the man's chin.
He could hear that the breathing of the person behind him seemed to have become heavier.
He blinked and wanted to continue asking, but the man answered softly, "Yes."
Xu Sili turned his head and nodded in understanding.
Well, it seemed that this skill consumed a lot of magic and couldn't last very long.
"Then, shall we go in?" Xu Sili said.
He couldn't keep hugging like this. If the guards saw … it would be very awkward!
Si Sheng didn't move.
Just as Xu Sili was about to break free, the arms holding him tightened again. Then, his vision blurred. When he steadied himself, he found himself in front of the long corridor in front of the palace.
In the distance, the guards in front of the palace were standing guard. The man behind him had already let go of him and took a step back obediently.
The warmth disappeared like a furnace, and the cold night wind blew. Xu Sili shivered slightly and felt a little cold.
Was this magic recovery? Could he teleport again?
He looked back at Si Sheng.
The man was expressionless and still had that cold look, but his gray-blue eyes seemed to be brighter than usual.
At this moment, he was quietly looking at him.
Xu Sili was a little uncomfortable under his gaze. He couldn't help but look away and said, "Then I'll go in. You should go back and rest too."
"Your Majesty."
However, just as he took a step, he heard the man's voice suddenly call out to him.
Xu Sili looked back again.
Under the moonlight, the man's golden hair was slightly blown by the night wind. His deep eyes were like whirlpools in the depths of the sea, quiet but containing a power that made people tremble.
"Thump — —"
His heart skipped a beat.
Xu Sili frowned slightly. He suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and asked, "What's the matter?"
Si Sheng held up the blue stone in front of his chest. His gray-blue eyes stared at him, unwilling to miss the slightest change in expression on his face.
"You, why … did you give me a gift?"
He asked softly.
Huh? What kind of question is this?
Xu Sili was a little confused.
Why did he give him a gift …? Didn't he use to spend money to buy things for him every day?
Wait, f * ck!
Xu Sili finally realized the problem.
This Si Sheng was not his pitiful slave! Why did he give him a gift so casually?
Moreover, he put it on his neck with his own hands …
How could this be!
Xu Sili's eyes flickered. Suddenly, his face turned cold.
"You don't want it? Then give it back to me. "He suddenly reached out and tried to snatch the necklace back.
However, Si Sheng did not move.
He held the blue necklace in his hand. Because he did not dodge, Xu Sili easily grabbed the necklace.
Xu Sili felt the cold touch. He froze on the spot, speechless.
Why didn't this guy dodge?
Xu Sili looked up and glared at Si Sheng. Si Sheng remained in his original position, but was forced to lean over because of his action of grabbing the necklace.
The two of them were very close to each other. Their breaths intertwined.
The man looked down at him. His expression …
It was a little pitiful.
Xu Sili pursed his lips and did not speak.
This guy … what is he up to?
The young man's eyes flickered. Finally, he clicked his tongue.
He threw the blue necklace back to Si Sheng and snorted coldly, "I promise … I don't take back what I've given away!"
"As for why …"
"Do I need a reason to give it to whomever I want to give it to?"
After he finished speaking, he did not look at Si Sheng anymore. He turned around and strode towards his bedroom.
F * ck, I almost spilled the beans!
Xu Sili did not turn around. He only stopped when he heard the door close behind him. He turned around and looked at the closed door. He slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
Luckily, he escaped quickly …
Si Sheng was too smart. He could easily see through him.
But … what was with the look in his eyes just now?
It was just a necklace. Was there a need for him to look at it like a puppy?
Si Sheng stood at the same spot and watched him leave. Only when the young man's figure disappeared into the bedroom and could no longer be seen did he silently withdraw his gaze.
His gaze fell on the blue necklace on his chest.
He picked up the blue stone and held it tightly in his hand.
That's right. I'm Lord God …
There's no way … there's a mistake.
Definitely not.
With this conviction, Si Sheng's figure flashed and disappeared into the moonlight.
The night fell silent again.
When the first ray of sunlight shone in through the window, Xu Sili slowly opened his eyes.
After meditating for an entire night, his magical power had been fully replenished.
This time, he felt different from before. Perhaps it was due to the increase in his understanding of his spiritual power. The speed at which he absorbed sound elements seemed to have increased.
Furthermore, his experience from meditating for an entire night had increased from 34 to 109. In addition, he had built two new wooden houses in Mercenary Town last night. His experience bar had increased by a large amount.
Level-Up Distance: 476/800
Although it was not as satisfying as when he killed monsters of a higher level, it was still a form of happiness.
With this in mind, Xu Sili got up and washed up. He was preparing to go to the Elementalist College today to see how Su Lin's Dark Valley Cultivation was progressing.
However, when he arrived at the dining hall, he saw a familiar figure arrive before him. He could not help but stop in his tracks.
