After Si Sheng got on the shuttle, he didn't count the number of people. Instead, he went to the control room and ordered the pilot to take off.
Fortunately, there were two pilots who could take turns. Otherwise, after three days of continuous flight and only an hour of rest, no one could bear to take off again.
"Yes sir!"
The substitute pilot responded and carefully lifted the shuttle into the air.
Now, the sky within a few kilometers was clean and there were no flying interstellar beasts. The interference on the shuttle was greatly reduced and the psychological pressure on the pilot was reduced.
The flying shuttle sprayed out white exhaust fumes, turning into a white streak and disappearing into the horizon.
Si Sheng looked at the blue sky outside through the glass, but his heart was still thinking about the discovery he had just made.
Why did the ancient silver wolf appear in Lan Yue City?
Had its injury been healed? Otherwise, with that silly dog's IQ, he doubted that it could return the same way after coming to Lan Yue City.
Just as he was frowning, Si Sheng's heart suddenly moved. He looked sideways at the door of the control room. The door was made of a special alloy and was tightly shut. There was no gap at all to see outside the door.
However, Si Sheng seemed to have seen something.
He furrowed his brows and walked over.
Xu Yuheng saw Si Sheng get on the shuttle and was about to test him. He didn't expect that as soon as he took a step, the marshal directly disappeared.
"… …"
He forgot that the marshal was unpredictable and had mastered a skill similar to the advanced Imperial Wind Technique.
However, this was not a problem for Xu Yuheng.
When he felt the shuttle begin to rise, he quietly used the fourth layer of the Imperial Wind Technique. Before anyone could react, he left the cabin. Even the NPCs didn't notice his departure.
He came to the door of the shuttle's control room.
Si Sheng should be inside, right? Without his order, the pilot would definitely not take off. Of course, he didn't rule out the possibility of him using the communication device, but Xu Yuheng decided to try his luck.
He stopped in front of the control room and looked around. He didn't see anything like a doorbell.
If he knocked on the door outside, could it be heard inside?
Xu Yuheng didn't think too much about it. He would know after trying. He bent his finger and was about to knock on the door.
The metal door suddenly moved from the middle to the sides.
Xu Yuheng blinked. The first thing he saw was the man's slightly stubbled chin. He raised his eyes slightly and met a pair of indifferent gray-blue eyes.
It was ice-cold, with the indifference and majesty that belonged to a superior.
Xu Yuheng was calm.
After all, this was an NPC in the game, and he himself had been in a high position for a long time. However, when he felt Si Sheng's aura up close, he couldn't help but be surprised by the quality of the game.
He withdrew his hand and took a step back.
Xu Yuheng had an impression of Si Sheng.
These were the card characters that Xiao Li had spent a lot of time and money to nurture in "Game of Gods." They were all set according to Xiao Li's game data and were adjusted in some aspects.
When he was transferred to the Star Age, he was also ordered to be completely loyal to the House of Roland and Xiao Li.
It had to be said that after seeing his ability, Xu Yuheng's worry about his brother's safety was indeed reduced by half.
While Xu Yuheng was looking at Si Sheng, Si Sheng was also looking at him.
This was the brave one.
Si Sheng frowned and looked at the face that was 40% or 50% similar to Lord God's.
In fact, at first glance, they didn't look alike, because the temperament of the two was very different. Xu Yuheng also wore a pair of pretentious glasses, which made him look more like a refined scum.
However, if one looked carefully at the facial features, there were some similarities between the eyebrows, especially the eyes.
Si Sheng pursed his lips tightly, and his expression was not very good.
In his mind, Lord God was one of a kind, and he had a domineering personality. He didn't like Xu Yuheng because they looked alike.
He even felt that he was an eyesore.
It was as if he had seen a shoddy imitation and wanted nothing more than to destroy it.
Such thoughts made him unconsciously release a trace of pressure, and all of it was concentrated on Xu Yuheng.
Xu Yuheng also felt it.
However, he had adjusted his sense of reality to around 10%, so this little feeling didn't affect him. Instead, his expression was normal, and he looked at Si Sheng with a bit of scrutiny.
He felt Si Sheng's malice.
And this was directly reflected by the game system.
[Ding. [Si Sheng] Favorability of you -1000]
[Attention, the favorability value has reached the [Disgust] range. The NPC may kill you at any time. Please pay attention to your words and actions at all times and remain vigilant.]
Xu Yuheng was just confused.
The two of them hadn't even said a word, and Si Sheng had already reduced his favorability by 1,000 points? He might even kill him?
Even if he didn't listen to orders and sneaked into the control room, it shouldn't be so serious, right?
He complained in his heart, but he still maintained a gentle smile on his face and said respectfully, "Marshal Si, I am the leader of the Yu Siqing Mercenary Group. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Si Sheng observed the man's expression.
Although he was smiling, he could easily see that Xu Yuheng didn't mean what he said. Probably because he often faked smiles, he could see that Xu Yuheng's smile wasn't sincere.
[Ding. [Si Sheng] Favorability of you -500]
[Attention, [Si Sheng] Favorability of you -1500. The favorability value has reached the [Disgust] range. The NPC may kill you at any time. Please pay attention to your words and actions at all times and remain vigilant.]
Xu Yuheng: "…"
What the hell, what is this NPC doing?
Xu Yuheng finally felt the frustration of having his favorability reduced for no reason. His expression couldn't help but become a bit twisted.
So ugly.
Si Sheng looked at him and thought in his heart.
[Ding. [Si Sheng] Favorability of you -100]
[Attention, [Si Sheng] Favorability of you -1600. The favorability value has reached the [Disgust] range. The NPC may kill you at any time. Please pay attention to your words and actions at all times and remain vigilant.]
？？？
Xu Yuheng looked at the expressionless Si Sheng, who only had a slight frown on his face, and finally carefully took a step back.
Si Sheng had the highest position on this shuttle. If he was unhappy and threw him out of the shuttle …
Combined with Si Sheng's feat of casually destroying thousands of galactic beasts, Xu Yuheng felt that it was very possible.
Although he felt frustrated, Xu Yuheng still maintained his rationality. After all, he still had to rely on this shuttle to go to the imperial city to see Xiao Li.
He would endure it for now. When his level was higher, he would get back at him.
As for whether or not he could bring them to see the emperor, Xu Yuheng didn't mention it again.
He hadn't done anything yet, but his favorability had dropped so quickly. Who knew if he would be treated as an assassin if he mentioned it? Before reaching the imperial city, it was better to be cautious.
"I'm just passing by. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. Marshal Si, please help yourself."
Xu Yuheng admitted defeat for now, but he had already made a mental note to settle the score with Si Sheng later.
Si Sheng watched him leave. He didn't ask him to stay, nor did he do anything. He returned to the control room and sat in a chair to rest.
Xu Yuheng returned to the shuttle.
He hadn't been gone for long, so not many people noticed his disappearance. Of course, that didn't include Bai Feng.
Seeing Xu Yuheng's ashen face, Bai Feng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yu, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xu Yuheng shook his head. After thinking for a while, he typed on his communication device.
If he couldn't get through to Si Sheng, he still had Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu could contact Xiao Li, so this stinking brat wouldn't be throwing a tantrum and refusing to see him, right?
This was the first time Xu Yuheng took the initiative to contact the artificial intelligence, so he didn't know what to do. However, he soon received a reply from Xiao Wu.
A line of small words appeared on his communication device.
[Second Brother, are you looking for me?]
Xu Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he could contact Xiao Wu. He continued to type.
[Yes.]
[What's the matter?]
[What do I have to do to see your brother in the Imperial City?]
[Well, Xiao Wu doesn't know either. However, according to the route of this shuttle, the destination is the Imperial Palace of the Roland Empire.]
Xu Yuheng blinked. The destination is the Imperial Palace?
He instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
It would be much more convenient if the shuttle went directly to the Imperial Palace. Moreover, this might be the brat's arrangement. He wouldn't have to worry about not being able to see him.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuheng thanked Xiao Wu.
[You're welcome ~ If you have any questions, feel free to contact Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu is always here!]
Xu Yuheng raised his eyebrows and asked about Elder Bryce.
The ten traitors had been dealt with. He and Bai Feng's mission to protect Orchid City was also completed. They received the rewards and distributed them to the players who helped.
However, the traitor leader wasn't caught. For Xu Yuheng, who pursued perfection, it was like a thorn in his heart.
[Bryce didn't use his communication device. We can't locate him. We are closely tracking him through cameras.]
This was also within Xu Yuheng's expectations.
Bryce had been hiding in Orchid City for many years. He was able to turn three two-star Elementalists into traitors with his half-star strength. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was a cunning old fox.
Now that his forces were almost uprooted, he would probably lie low for a while. When he made a comeback, his revenge might be even more intense.
[Well, Xiao Wu did a great job. Keep it up.]
Xu Yuheng still mainly encouraged this infant artificial intelligence. Moreover, Xiao Wu was indeed very obedient. It gave him a sense of accomplishment like raising a child.
[Okay ~]
[Xiao Wu will work hard. Second Brother, chirp ~]
Xu Yuheng was slightly stunned. Then, he couldn't help but laugh.
This little guy has already learned how to act cute. He's improving quite quickly.
[Okay, chirp.]
In the palace, Xu Sili was a little anxious.
In three days, he would be able to see Second Brother again … This time, what would Second Brother say? Would he believe him? Or … would he still think that this was a plot designed by the game team?
These questions appeared in Xu Sili's mind from time to time. It made him restless and his emotions fluctuated greatly.
In the end, he decided to find something for himself to do.
When Qiu Zheng raised his head from a pile of never-ending government affairs and saw the young Emperor standing at the door of the Council Chamber, he suspected that he was hallucinating.
He couldn't remember when he started handling government affairs for His Majesty and the Marshal.
God knows, he was originally just a small adjutant. He only needed to be responsible for the Marshal's daily life and arrangements. But now, he had to deal with these national affairs. He was so busy every day that he was going bald.
Xu Sili looked at the dark circles under Qiu Zheng's eyes and couldn't help but cough. He felt a little guilty.
In fact, Qiu Zheng still had a few assistants, but everything needed to be confirmed by Qiu Zheng one last time. In any case, it was very miserable.
However, sympathy was one thing. Xu Sili wouldn't carry these cumbersome government affairs on his shoulders. If his hands and feet were tied by these and took up a lot of his time every day, then what was the point of being the Emperor?
In the end, Xu Sili wasn't a native of the Roland Empire, and he wasn't a prince who was being nurtured as the Crown Prince.
For him, he could take on the responsibilities of the Emperor, protect the safety of the people of the Empire, and lead them to a better life, but that didn't mean that he could be deprived of his freedom.
Perhaps, when Roland became rich and strong, and he felt that he was tired of being the Emperor, he would pass the throne to Xiao Qiong. Then, he would travel the universe with Si Sheng and have fun together.
Of course, it was still too early to talk about this.
The Roland Empire was in a miserable state now. Xiao Qiong hadn't grown up yet, so he had to be the Emperor for a few more years.
"Your Majesty … Your Majesty!"
Qiu Zheng finally reacted. He wanted to salute Xu Sili, but he was stopped by him.
"Go on with your work. I'll just take a look."
Xu Sili was very easy-going. He had a good attitude towards talents.
Qiu Zheng opened his mouth, but in the end, he obediently picked up the document and continued to correct it.
Xu Sili looked at him, thought for a while, and took out a bottle of blood medicine. He put it in front of Qiu Zheng and said, "Qiu Zheng, take one of these blood medicine every day. Tell me when you're done. I still have more."
Qiu Zheng looked up blankly. Blood medicine? He wasn't sick …
But when he looked at the young man's slightly dignified face, he didn't dare to say anything. After thanking him, he obediently accepted the bottle of blood medicine.
His Majesty … felt like he was becoming more and more like the Marshal, especially when he wasn't smiling …
Xu Sili didn't know what Qiu Zheng was thinking. He gave him the blood medicine because he saw that Qiu Zheng didn't look well. He was worried that Qiu Zheng might suddenly die at any time. It was best to take precautions.
Anyway, the production of blood medicine had increased.
Because some players had become Elemental Pharmacists, they were crazily making blood medicine every day.
In order to limit the production of blood medicine, Xu Sili issued a new rule when the blood medicine was developed.
Currently, only Su Lin's pharmaceutical factory could produce blood medicine. It was illegal to produce blood medicine in other places.
Therefore, even if players became Elemental Pharmacists and learned the formula, they could only make medicine in Su Lin's pharmaceutical factory.
Otherwise, they would be caught very quickly. Not only would all their blood medicine be confiscated, but they would also be locked up for three days.
At first, some people didn't take it seriously, but because of Xiao Wu's surveillance, this kind of "illegal activity" was easily caught, so the players didn't dare to secretly make medicine.
However, making medicine in the pharmaceutical factory was also a trap for the players.
Because they needed to use the equipment and materials of the pharmaceutical factory, 80% of the medicine produced had to be handed over to the pharmaceutical factory. Only the players had the right to buy the remaining 20%.
Of course, the price was very low, and there was also a reputation reward for turning in the blood medicine.
It was equivalent to working for the pharmaceutical factory. The only reward was reputation and the right to buy medicine at a low price.
It sounded like a trap, but the players had to accept it.
After all, wood and fire were common elements. There were many NPCs in the Mercenary Town. Although they were slow to learn, there was no lack of production.
Therefore, in order to obtain more reputation and freely tradable potions, these players had no choice but to desperately produce potions, forcibly doubling their production.
The players had a realistic adjustment system, so they didn't have the problem of fatigue like the NPCs. If they didn't have enough strength, they would eat to replenish and continue to make medicine after eating. Naturally, the efficiency was not comparable to the NPCs.
Some NPCs were not convinced and tried to compete with the players. In the end, they persisted for a day and a night. In the end, they fainted from exhaustion and didn't make as much as the players.
This matter was also treated as a joke and organized into a forum post called "The Funny NPCs of the 818 Star Age".
In any case, Xu Sili would not lose out in this matter no matter what.
As a strategic resource, he would definitely strictly control the blood medicine. It would be bad if it fell into the hands of traitors and became a source of support for the enemy.
In the end, Xu Sili still learned how to deal with government affairs from Qiu Zheng.
He could choose not to do it, but he couldn't not do it.
Understanding more about what was happening around the country was also helpful for him to adjust his policy of governing the country.
In this kind of learning, time passed by unknowingly.
More than two days later, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the shuttle returned safely from Lan Yue City and slowly landed on the tarmac of the palace.
The people of the escort team were left at the border.
During this time, a team leader risked his life to report the situation of Li Lai and the fifth team to Si Sheng, hoping that Si Sheng could rescue them.
Si Sheng contacted General Joyce. After understanding the whole story, he also called Li Lai's number to ask about the situation.
Li Lai had originally set his phone to silent. In order to not be transferred back, he was prepared to not accept calls from the army until he found clues about the fifth team.
However, the attack this time made him hesitate.
Although he didn't have Si Sheng's number, there were only a few three-digit numbers in the country. The person who called him must be a big shot.
So he finally answered, but he didn't expect to be on the other side of the line to be Si Sheng.
Si Sheng didn't waste time. After understanding his plan in a few words, he agreed to let him continue to stay in the Morris Mountains to search for clues. If he was in trouble, he could ask for help from Lan Yue City.
Lan Yue City should be able to help him now.
After the members of the escort team knew all this, although they were worried about Li Lai's safety, they didn't make any more trouble.
At least his current actions were recognized and wouldn't be regarded as a deserter. With the help of Lan Yue City, his safety was improved a lot.
In the end, the shuttle left them at the border of the imperial city and continued to fly to the palace.
Looking at the magnificent palace, the players were naturally excited.
However, they weren't lucky enough to visit the palace like on the first day of the closed beta.
Except for the Lan Yue City players who received the mission [Meet the Emperor], everyone else was sent away.
Like the first time, Xu Sili dressed up and then waited for the arrival of the players in the main hall.
The players still lined up to enter the main hall one by one to meet the Emperor alone.
This time, his attitude was different from last time. The young man's expression was a bit lazy and casual. After he sent all the players in front of him away perfunctorily, finally —
A figure he had been looking forward to for a long time appeared at the door and slowly walked in.
Xu Sili looked at him quietly.
This was his second brother.
Compared to last time, the gloominess in his eyes dissipated a lot. It was as if he had returned to the elegant brother in his memory who always had a smile at the corner of his eyes.
Under the guard's obstruction, Xu Yuheng stood in the main hall and looked up at the young man with a crown on his head who was sitting on the throne.
Although the face was the same, the hair color and eyes color were different. However, when Xu Yuheng met his eyes, he knew very well —
This was his younger brother, no doubt about it.
He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the young man raised his hand and sent everyone else in the main hall out.
When only the two of them were left in the main hall, Xu Sili controlled the sound element to set up a soundproof enchantment. Only then did he stare at Xu Yuheng and speak softly.
"Do you believe me?" He asked.
Xu Yuheng looked at the anticipation and uneasiness in the young man's eyes and felt a little bitter. He controlled his emotions, took a deep breath, and said, "This matter is too unbelievable."
"So, can you answer a question of mine?"
Xu Sili was not surprised to hear this. "Go ahead."
"Before you … before you left, what were the last words you said to me?"
Xu Yuheng's voice trembled.
Every time he thought back to that scene, he would feel a suffocating heartache.
Xu Sili sensed his emotions.
He pursed his lips and did not immediately answer. Instead, he got up and walked down the steps to Xu Yuheng.
In the past, he was only 1.78 meters tall, a little shorter than his second brother, but now, he was able to look him in the eye.
He stared deeply at Xu Yuheng, raised his hand, and gently stroked his cheek.
"Second Brother, don't be sad."
He spoke softly and somewhat comfortingly.
Xu Yuheng's tears fell without warning. He took off his glasses and rubbed the space between his eyebrows with his fingers. However, he was still unable to control his emotions.
In the end, he opened his arms and hugged the young man in front of him tightly.
"Xiao Li … it's all Second Brother's fault …"
His voice was choked with sobs, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released at this moment.
Xu Sili's eyes were also a little red.
He bit his lip and hugged him back. He gently patted Xu Yuheng's back.
"Second Brother, this is not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself … because I was going to die anyway …"
However, not only did his words not have the effect of comforting him, but they also provoked Xu Yuheng.
He hugged his younger brother's shoulder tighter and whispered, "Don't mention the word 'die' again. You have to live well and live a long life!"
Xu Sili was helpless. His nose was a little sore as he muttered softly, "I'm almost 200 years old now …"
However, he knew that his death would hurt his family, so he did not provoke him anymore. He just quietly hugged him and gently patted his back.
Although Second Brother was very smart and capable, he was actually a little crybaby.
Xu Sili slightly curved his lips as he thought of some things that happened when he was young.
The two brothers met again, and the gap between them disappeared. This made him feel very happy.
A warm atmosphere flowed in the main hall, but Xu Sili did not know that the corridor outside the main hall was filled with dark clouds.
After Xu Sili sent everyone away, Si Sheng went to the window and quietly opened a gap.
This gap was enough for him to see the scene in the main hall.
The existence of the soundproof barrier prevented him from hearing what the people inside were saying, but …
He saw their movements.
