Xu Sili stared at Si Sheng's image, gazing into his burning eyes. With some difficulty, he said, "Si Sheng, you can't come back yet …"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the bright light in the man's eyes dim bit by bit.
"Why?"
Si Sheng looked at him, his brows furrowed slightly. His gaze was somewhat pitiful, but it also carried a hint of accusation.
Xu Sili also felt somewhat guilty.
Because he had indeed promised him that he would contact him once he reached Lan Yue City, and that he would immediately summon him back.
But now …
Did he go back on his word?
Faced with Si Sheng's slightly aggrieved gaze, Xu Sili felt as if he had done something unforgivable. He scratched his head, his gaze evasive.
"The escort team needs you …"
"They will encounter a lot of danger on the road. Since you want to come back, just bring them back …"
Si Sheng was the Marshal, and it was his duty to protect the people and the people. However, Xu Sili's words were a little lacking in confidence, especially when —
"But this subject needs Your Majesty."
The man's voice sounded faintly, causing Xu Sili's heart to beat faster.
He once again met Si Sheng's beautiful eyes. Previously, when facing others, they were as cold as a lake in the depths of winter, but now they had melted into a warm spring.
Xu Sili's heart softened.
Although he didn't know why he pitied this man who was countless times more powerful than he was, he couldn't bear to disappoint him.
He thought for a moment, then said, "Wen Jishan told me yesterday that when the construction of Doha Town is completed, there will be a large-scale bonfire party."
"Si Sheng, when you come back, let's go together, okay?"
The young man's lilac eyes were bright, carrying a hint of reassurance and anticipation.
Si Sheng was still floating in mid-air.
He looked at the young man's gentle features, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and asked softly, "Is this … a date?"
He stared intently at the young man, watching him widen his eyes slightly, and a faint blush visible to the naked eye appeared on his originally milky white skin.
Then, his god, the honorable emperor, gently lowered his long, curly, light-colored eyelashes. His cheeks turned slightly to the side, with a bit of shyness to avoid it.
As Si Sheng stared at him in fascination, the young man's delicate lips moved slightly.
"Yes."
It was a single syllable that was very light, but it had a magical power that made Si Sheng's heart beat wildly.
"When you come back, we'll go on a date."
The young man said in a low voice. Then, with a soft click, he unilaterally ended the video call under Si Sheng's reluctant gaze.
Immediately after, a message notification sounded.
[His Majesty]: Good girl.
[His Majesty]: Come back soon.
Si Sheng looked at the two messages and recalled the young man's words. He couldn't help but curl his lips. Because of the new expectations, the haze that had shrouded him earlier seemed to have dispersed a lot.
'God is so cute …'
He thought in his heart as he controlled the Wind Element and slowly lowered his altitude.
But soon, he stopped in mid-air.
Looking at the field full of corpses under his feet, he tilted his head and thought for a while before reaching out his hand again.
Below, there were still countless people watching him.
Although they didn't know what the marshal was doing in the sky, it must be something big. They just had to wait for him below.
Of course, there were also Elementalists with higher levels who could barely see the marshal's figure due to the improvement of their physical attributes. They also saw —
He was using his communication device to video call someone.
Beyond that, they couldn't see anything.
At this moment, Si Sheng's action attracted the attention of countless people, including the players who were passionately discussing him.
Because the camera had a zooming function, although the image was slightly blurry after zooming in, at least they could see a close-up of the marshal's face. So, from the beginning until now, the cloud viewers in the live broadcast channel —
"Ahhhhh! Wow, the marshal is smiling!"
"F * ck, Si Sheng is so awesome! From today onwards, he's my husband! "
"Who is Si Sheng's husband smiling at? rwkk！”
"Boohoo, don't tell me my husband has a girlfriend? What's Si Sheng's setting in Star Age? "
"When is the open beta? I can do the second beta too! If I'm chosen in the second beta, I'm willing to lose 20 pounds! "
Many of Araiko's fans were old players of "Game of Gods." Every time a card character of a god appeared, the live broadcast channel would explode.
But today was the most popular channel, and the bullet screen was flooded to the point that it couldn't be seen clearly.
As Si Sheng ended the call and slowly descended, many people quieted down and held their breaths as they waited for him to arrive in the city. They wanted to admire his handsome face again.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly stopped in mid-air. Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Si Sheng gently raised his hand, and it seemed that some kind of power was spreading from his body.
In the game, not only the NPCs but even the players felt something strange, but they couldn't pinpoint what it was. They felt an inexplicable sense of danger.
The first to realize that something was wrong was the general in charge of the projection. He pointed at the projection and shouted, "Look at those interstellar beasts!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at the corpses of the interstellar beasts that were lying on the ground. They saw that the corpses that were originally lying still and lifeless were now trembling slightly, as if something was about to come out.
What is he doing?
The doubts in everyone's hearts were quickly answered —
"Poof! Poof!"
At first, there was only a very faint poof sound, but soon, the sound became more rapid and more frequent. In less than a minute, the entire battlefield shone under the sunlight.
It was the Star Core!
Above every dead interstellar beast's head, a small Star Core flew out and quietly floated in mid-air.
Originally, it was difficult to identify the size of the Star Cores, but when the number accumulated to the maximum, it became enough to attract attention.
Now, there were tens of thousands of interstellar beasts that had just died on the battlefield. Their Star Cores were all extracted, and then under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they were all gathering towards the Star Core in the sky.
Si Sheng looked at the huge cluster of Star Cores that was slowly forming in front of him. It only stopped growing when it was about his height.
The crystal cores on the surface of this huge cluster of Star Cores shone beautifully under the sunlight.
Si Sheng looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
If I use this as a gift, Lord God should like it, right? But before that, I need to wash it with water again.
He waved his hand, and the Star Core Cluster, which could be considered a giant, disappeared in front of him.
At the same time, the shadow leopard that was sleeping in the contract space suddenly felt something and opened its eyes to look up —
What the f * ck, what is this?!
The poor September was still in a daze when it was hit by the falling ball and almost fainted.
It lay on the ground in the contract space dizzily and looked at the Star Cores that scattered all over the ground after hitting it. It couldn't help but ask questions.
What the f * ck are these? Why did Master throw these in? For me to eat?
It sniffed lightly with its nose and frowned in disdain.
Outside the contract space, Si Sheng sensed its actions and thought for a moment before saying, "September, eat all the Star Cores and don't touch the rest."
There are too many Star Cores, Lord God might like them.
September:???
It wanted to refuse, but its master had already cut off the connection.
The shadow leopard had no choice but to lower its head and control its shadow tentacles to pick up the Star Cores one by one to determine what level they were.
These Star Cores were only as thick as a few strands of its hair. It was easier said than done to determine the level of each Star Core. But it didn't dare to disobey its master's orders, so it could only do this hard work.
Did Master deliberately find something for it to do because it was too free?
The shadow leopard in the contract space was full of resentment. Outside the contract space, the players in Lan Yue City were also dumbfounded.
F * ck!
Si Sheng, this NPC, actually knows how to clean up the battlefield?
F * ck, how many Star Cores are there?! At least enough, right? They can be exchanged for a lot of reputation points in the faction storage!
Many people were already eyeing the galactic beasts. With so many corpses, they could definitely help collect them!
But now, the value of these corpses had been halved.
Si Sheng bore the resentful gazes of the players and slowly descended from the sky. The camp, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
If the previous reverence was partly due to rumors, then now, after witnessing the miracle Si Sheng had created with their own eyes, all of the soldiers and soldiers present in Lan Yue City respected and worshipped this Guardian God from the bottom of their hearts.
Si Sheng's expression had already returned to its usual indifference. He looked at the Administrator expressionlessly and said, "Send people to clean up the corpses.
"Send someone to clean up the corpses. If you can't even do such a small thing, you don't have to be a consul anymore."
The Administrator trembled, but he didn't dare to refute. He hurriedly said respectfully, "Yes, Lord Marshal! This humble one will definitely take care of the aftermath. "
Si Sheng didn't comment and asked, "Where are the escorts?"
The Administrator froze.
In fact, he really wanted to keep the people from the escort team. After all, he was really envious of such a team made up of elites.
However, facing the cold gaze of the Lord Marshal, he didn't dare to make such a request. After all, the Lord Marshal had already helped them solve their biggest problem. One should be content with what one had.
He said respectfully, "Lord Marshal wants to see them? I'll immediately send people to find them … "
"Oh right, Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai went out two days ago. I heard that he went to support the fifth team in the wilderness, but he hasn't returned yet."
Speaking of this, the Administrator couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Because he had been distracted by the traitor and the holes in the array were appearing more and more frequently, he had neglected the fact that Li Lai had left the team and hadn't returned.
He hasn't returned for so long … Did something happen?
Fortunately, Si Sheng just nodded and said, "Let them gather on the flying shuttle. I'll give them an hour. After an hour, the flying shuttle will depart and return to the Imperial City."
"If anyone doesn't get on the flying shuttle when the time is up, they can stay in Orchid City or walk back by themselves."
Si Sheng didn't take Li Lai's matter to heart. To him, the wilderness was as easy as walking in and out of his own backyard. Li Lai was at least an Elementalist since he was a Lieutenant Colonel. What could happen to him?
Just like the questioning from before, it was really just a statement of Si Sheng's intuition.
He really couldn't understand why these people couldn't even clear a one-meter path after spending three years and were still forced into the city by interstellar beasts.
However, this wasn't important.
What was important was that he had to leave now.
Because according to the speed of the flying shuttle, it would take another three days to reach the Imperial City. He didn't want to wait a second.
At this moment, his communication device rang again. Si Sheng didn't care about the Administrator and quickly looked down.
His Majesty: If the heroes of Orchid City want to come to the Imperial City, let them get on the flying shuttle as well.
Si Sheng blinked.
The heroes of Orchid City?
He remembered the day when the heroes appeared for the nth time. After His Majesty summoned all the heroes, his mood suddenly became gloomy.
And now … Did he want to continue summoning them?
Si Sheng frowned slightly. His eyes fell on the heroes not far away and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The heroes that His Majesty really wanted to summon …
Could it be just one of them?
Because those two weren't in the Imperial City, he was disappointed. Now he wanted to summon the heroes of Orchid City to see if "that person" was among them?
Or even …
Asking him to bring the people of the escort team back was just to bring that hero back?
In just a moment, Si Sheng thought of a lot of things and even guessed pretty close to the truth. However, these were just his guesses. He needed more evidence to be sure.
He suppressed all his doubts and seriously replied to the message. Then he looked at the Administrator and continued to instruct him about the heroes of Orchid City.
After that, he didn't stay there any longer. His figure flashed and disappeared.
The Administrator came back to his senses and hurriedly sent people to contact all the elites of the escort team. He personally walked to the players and came in front of Xu Yuheng and the others.
Si Sheng's conversation with the Administrator was controlled so that no one could hear it. So when they saw him suddenly disappear, the players subconsciously looked at the sky to look for him.
However, they couldn't find him.
This time, the Marshal had really disappeared.
"Si Sheng is gone!"
"Will we see him again in the future? Wuwu, I didn't even get to talk to him and take a picture with him … "
"According to the realism of the stars, such a high-level NPC shouldn't be so easy to meet."
"Sigh, I still want to learn skills from him …"
"Forget it! He's the Marshal. He kills beasts like flies. He's not an amiable instructor. Don't go looking for trouble. You don't want to affect the overall impression of the players! "
This was also the rule of favorability that the players concluded.
Some NPCs had good personalities, such as Li Zheyu, who would reduce the favorability of anyone who offended him. However, some NPCs were more difficult to deal with, such as Li Lai, who would directly reduce everyone's favorability by a thousand.
Si Sheng didn't look like a good NPC. If a rat's feces spoiled the entire pot of porridge, who could reason with?
That player was quickly suppressed.
He felt very wronged.
"I'll definitely be polite and not make him dislike me …"
The others shushed him. Coincidentally, the Administrator walked over and everyone's attention was diverted.
After hearing the Administrator's intentions, everyone looked at each other. Damn, there's such a good thing? Free escort to the Imperial City!
Although the entire journey from the Imperial City to Lan Yue City had been recorded, it was very difficult to replicate it perfectly.
Moreover, time didn't allow for it because —
The Beta Test was about to end.
If they didn't go now, they would have to wait until the Second Beta. Not only would they not have an escort NPC, but they would also have to be online for at least a week!
Since the launch of the server, how many people envied the treatment that the Imperial City players received? Naturally, everyone knew what to choose.
However, what many people were concerned about was —
Would Si Sheng be on the shuttle?
At this moment, Si Sheng wasn't on the shuttle.
There were still a few hours left. He used the Passerby Aura and summoned the Shadow Leopard to fly across the sky —
Although he had mastered the Flight skill, his speed was still not as fast as the Shadow Leopard.
The Shadow Leopard's figure flew across the border town.
Because of the huge movement on the city wall, the people were so scared that they hid. Now that the movement disappeared, they all walked out of their houses one after another.
The figures of Si Sheng and the Shadow Leopard didn't attract anyone's attention.
They flew along the road.
Under the full speed of the Shadow Leopard, the two of them quickly reached the center of Lan Yue City, which was a certain distance away from the town center.
Directly below them was a lake.
Lan Yue City was very poor and didn't have many good things, except for the blue gemstones.
The blue in Lan Yue City was supposed to be "blue".
The Shadow Leopard lowered its altitude and slowly landed on the surface of the lake. The shadows on the surface of the water supported it, allowing it to walk on the water.
It swung its tail and touched the surface of the lake from time to time.
Ripples appeared on the calm surface of the lake because of its agitation, and they continued to spread in all directions.
Suddenly, the Shadow Leopard's slender tail hit a fish.
The fish jumped up and swung its tail crazily in the air, trying to escape back into the lake, but it was always hit by the Shadow Leopard.
Its tail was like a living fish. Although the hit wasn't fatal, it was very annoying. The fish glared at the Shadow Leopard angrily and suddenly opened its mouth to spit out a stone at it.
The stone hit the Shadow Leopard. Instead of being surprised, the Shadow Leopard was happy. It let go of the fish and hurriedly caught the small stone.
"Master."
The Shadow Leopard used its shadow tentacles to wrap the small stone and sent it in front of Si Sheng.
The stone was about the size of a quail's egg and had a smooth surface. Si Sheng wrapped the stone with a handkerchief and carefully felt it. He slowly used his mental strength to penetrate the stone's surface.
Powder fell from the stone, revealing a crystal clear blue gemstone.
This was the specialty of Lan Yue City, the Blue Crystal Stone.
The Blue Crystal Stone could help an Elementalist recover their magic and nourish their mental strength. However, it was very rare and only existed in a few lakes in Lan Yue City.
This gem was produced by the Blue Crystal Fish and formed in their bodies. They would only spit it out to attack their enemies when they were angry.
The Blue Crystal Fish were rare, and as for the Blue Crystal Stone, Si Sheng had found it by chance.
Looking at the Blue Crystal Stone that he had polished until it was as smooth as a mirror and completely revealed its original appearance, Si Sheng slightly curved his lips.
He took out the pendant that Xu Sili had given him and put it together with the Blue Crystal Stone.
This pendant was just an ordinary blue stone. Perhaps it contained some trace elements, but compared to the Blue Crystal Stone, it was nothing special.
However, to Si Sheng, this was a treasure that he cherished very much.
After looking at it for a while, he tucked the blue pendant back into his chest and kept it close to him. As for the Blue Crystal Stone, he put it in a small box.
After that, he was just about to order the Shadow Leopard to leave when he suddenly paused.
"Go to the forest over there," Si Sheng said.
The Shadow Leopard obediently flew into the forest and slowly landed in the middle of the forest. Then, it vigilantly observed its surroundings.
Did the Marshal find something?
Someone had been here before, but it should have been a while since they left. The traces left behind should have been destroyed.
However …
There were still traces of spatial fluctuations left behind.
Although it had been concealed very well, he was Si Sheng.
Si Sheng carefully sensed the spatial fluctuations left behind here. It should not be far from where it was created. Furthermore …
He sensed a familiar aura.
It was …
The Silver Wolf in the palace.
Si Sheng frowned slightly and carefully confirmed it again. There was no mistake. It was very similar to the traces left behind by the dog when it cut through space.
Then the question was …
The Silver Wolf should have stayed in the palace and had not fully recovered. How could it appear in Lan Yue City, which was tens of thousands of kilometers away not long ago?
Looking at this ordinary forest, Si Sheng did not find anything in the end.
He suppressed this doubt in his heart and patted the Shadow Leopard's head.
The Shadow Leopard understood and began to fly back at full speed.
After a few hours, all the members of the escort team and the players who were preparing to go to the palace were gathered on the shuttle.
Many people were inexplicably excited.
"Hahaha, I'm finally leaving Lan Yue City. I'm going to become the Emperor of the Imperial City!"
"Wait for me to post on the forum. Let those players who didn't come to defend the city see what they missed."
"You're so bad, but I like it!"
Everyone laughed and laughed, but they had learned to be obedient. Even if they were talking about it in the channel, they still looked gentle and polite on the surface, as if they were very obedient.
This was also the strategy post that was posted on the forum.
In front of NPCs, it was best to be humble. It didn't matter even if you had different personalities. Don't do anything in front of NPCs that would be extremely crossing the line in reality.
Although there were no practical benefits to the NPC's favorability, there were related penalties.
For example, if more than five NPCs had a negative favorability, then it was very likely that you would not be able to get Empire Reputation for a long time, unless you increased the negative value.
Therefore, the favorability of NPCs was absolutely indispensable to the players who were increasingly relying on the faction warehouse.
Xu Yuheng also jumped on the shuttle.
He did not expect that all the plans he had in mind would not be carried out as scheduled, but in the end, it was a blessing in disguise. He could finally make it to the Imperial City before the end of the beta test.
As for how he would meet His Majesty when he arrived at the Imperial City …
When he saw Si Sheng appear on the shuttle, Xu Yuheng hesitantly walked towards him.
