The voice coming from the communicator was intermittent and even a bit distorted, but Xu Sili still heard it.
This was Silin…
He seemed to see the silver-haired girl with a ponytail again, kicking open the door and walking in carelessly, her bright smile like sunlight on her face.
In addition, Imperial Brother…
Xu Sili instinctively touched his wrist. There should have been a bracelet there, which could release water healing three times when he was seriously injured.
It was just that when he left the trial world, the bracelet didn’t come out with him…
Silin… Xenos… are they still alive?
Xu Sili stared at the little robot in a stunned manner. Then his eyes turned red, and he said eagerly, “Xiao Wu, where are they? Where are Silin and Xenos?”
Hearing the attention he placed on this, Xiao Wu hurriedly said, “According to the coordinates received, it should be near the safe passage from Escher.”
Near the safe passage…
Xu Sili murmured, “You mean… the person who followed us last time was Silin?”
“It is very likely.”
The little robot nodded.
Xu Sili frowned. Didn’t Silin and Xenos die in the beast wave? How could they appear in such a distant place? They also had the ability to track a spaceship?
He couldn’t help having doubts…
This couldn’t be a conspiracy of Bewatt Star, right?
Xu Sili couldn’t help narrowing his eyes. The excitement on his face had faded, and he asked again, “Xiao Wu, can you contact the other party again?”
The little robot shook his head.
“The signal is too weak and unstable. However, it should be from my clone. There is nothing wrong with it.”
“Your clone…”
The coldness in Xu Sili’s eyes dissipated.
If it was really Xiao Wu’s clone, it could be ruled out that it was the conspiracy of Bewatt Star. At the very least… Silin and Xenos should really be alive!
He stood up abruptly, unable to stay still for a moment longer.
“Xiao Wu, get the spaceship ready right away. Let’s go to those coordinates and take a look!”
He gave the order. The little robot responded positively before disappearing into the communicator.
The moment Xu Sili was about to summon Si Sheng, he heard the voice of the guard outside the door. He waited and soon saw the man in the military uniform striding in.
“Si Sheng!”
Xu Sili hurried over, opened his arms, and gave the man a hug. The smile on his face was extremely bright. It was an excitement that rarely appeared on the young man’s face.
Si Sheng hugged him back and couldn’t help asking, “What happened?”
“Silin and Xenos aren’t dead!”
Xu Sili shared the good news with him. “Xiao Wu just received their distress signal. It is near the safe passage leading away from Escher.”
“Si Sheng, they are alive!”
Near the safe passage? Si Sheng remembered the abnormal fluctuation he had felt.
Seeing the young man’s excited and happy appearance, he reached out his hand, hooked the silver-white hair behind his ear, and whispered, “Then go and pick them up now?”
“Yes!”
Xu Sili nodded. “Go immediately so as not to dream more at night.”
He took Si Sheng’s hand. Then he thought about it and turned on the communicator again. He contacted Chamo to let him come over immediately.
Chamo had been to the canyon where the military factory was located in order to take Joan to find Val. He should be able to go there a second time.
Using his space technique was faster than taking the shuttle. It wasn’t known what was going on with Silin’s side. If Chamo was present, it would be more convenient to transfer people.
Soon, the space in the bedroom shook slightly. A gray-haired man with red coral earrings walked out from the crack in the space.
“Your Majesty, Marshal Si Sheng.”
Chamo saluted them politely. “I don’t know why you summoned me?”
Xu Sili explained the situation. At the same time, he thought of something and asked, “If there are coordinates, can you take us there directly?”
“It depends on where it is,” Chamo replied.
Xu Sili quickly asked Xiao Wu to send him the coordinates. However, apart from the five main cities of Roland and the surrounding areas, Escher’s planet map was still the old version. it wasn’t known if they could be used.
He looked at Chamo with some apprehension and expectation.
Chamo’s gaze fell on the projection of the electronic map. His expression was solemn, and he finally shook his head. “The distance is too far, and it is a place I haven’t been to. I’m not sure.”
Xu Sili had to give up.
“Then can you take us to the spaceship?”
“I can…” Chamo’s eyes flashed slightly. He just wanted to put forward some conditions when he felt a coercion fall on him that made his soul tremble.
He froze and instinctively lowered his head.
There was no need to look to know who this coercion came from.
The scene where Si Sheng forced him out of his original form with just coercion was still vividly remembered.
Chamo bit his lip, hesitating over whether to suppress the fear in his heart and express his request.
He opened his mouth with some difficulty and felt the invisible pressure become even heavier, causing sweat to break out on his forehead.
But at this time, he heard the little emperor of Roland say, “By the way, I have asked Mr Bazel about the sea elves.”
“He is an elemental pharmacist and promised to help me research potions that will allow humans to breathe underwater.”
Chamo felt the pressure on his body loosen.
Hearing the young man’s words clearly, his eyes brightened slightly. He couldn’t help looking up and saying with some surprise, “Your Majesty, you mean…”
“Once Mr Bazel researches the underwater breathing potion, I will consider sending the braves to go to the bottom of the sea. I will send them to the land of the sea elves and try to find traces of the sea elves.”
Xu Sili looked at him and made a promise.
“You have to lead the way once the time comes. You should get ready first.”
Chamo’s expression softened instantly, and a smile appeared on his face. He put one hand on his chest, bowed down, and solemnly saluted Xu Sili.
“Your Majesty Roland, on behalf of the sea elves, I express my gratitude to you. If you need me in the future, please call me!”
“I, Silver Wolf Chamo, am ready to risk my life and limbs to help you!”
At the same time, the favorability label above his head changed from ‘Friendly’ to ‘Respect’. There was a trend to develop toward ‘Revere.’
Xu Sili glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze.
He was still very optimistic about people like Chamo, who remembered his friends, was loyal, and had brains and abilities.
“You’re welcome,” he said. “It isn’t that I didn’t want to help you previously, but you know Roland’s situation. Now that I have spare strength, I naturally won’t save it when I see the possibility of death.”
There were 100,000 more players, with sea elves among them. Give them a bit more gameplay and rewards, and the players shouldn’t refuse.
“Okay. Without further ado, let’s go now!” Xu Sili said impatiently.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Chamo waved his hand, and a crack appeared in the air. He transformed into a silver-gray giant wolf again and lowered his head to the ground.
Xu Sili had already gone through a space passage once.
There was no need for Chamo to say anything. He stepped forward and climbed onto the back of the giant wolf. Immediately afterward, Si Sheng also sat behind him, wrapping his arms around his waist.
The moment Si Sheng sat on him, the giant wolf’s body obviously trembled.
Then the giant wolf stood up and carried the two of them into the spatial crack, leading them through the spatial turbulence.
Roland’s original border.
“Did it go out?”
Silin held the communicator in her hand, suppressing the excitement and anxiety in her voice.
Behind her was the base station that she had spent two months restoring with Brady and Abner.
Just now, they successfully made the indicator light of the base station, which had been destroyed for a long time, light up again.
It was a pity that the parts and tools they had were too rudimentary to restore the base station perfectly, not to mention that interstellar beasts kept coming to distract them.
At present, they had done the best they could.
“It has been sent.”
The projection of the little robot nodded. Then he said regretfully, “There is only one base station, and the signal is too weak. It is very unstable, and the amount of information that can be transmitted is very small.”
Even if he wanted to follow the signal back, he couldn’t do it. He could only send a very short message.
“As long as it is sent out…”
Silin murmured. She had waited too long for this day. It had been almost four years, and this was the most hopeful time.
If it didn’t work this time…
She shook her head, forcing herself not to imagine the possibility of failure.
“Did they receive it?” Silin couldn’t help asking again.
“They should’ve received it.”
The little robot looked at the signal light that flashed again, a bit worried.
He couldn’t be certain because the range of the base station to send signals was too limited.
After all, there were originally several base stations to strengthen the signal. Now there was only this one left. It was still unknown if the signal could be transmitted as far as Roland.
However, with the equipment on Roland’s side, it wasn’t impossible to capture the signal.
Xiao Wu didn’t dare tell Silin these things. based on what he knew of her during this period, she would definitely be very disappointed if he told her so bluntly.
He didn’t want to see her disappointed. He wanted everyone to be happy.
Silin didn’t know that this little robot could tell white lies. She received an affirmative answer and was slightly relieved. Then she felt energized again.
Not far away, Brady and Abner were fighting the interstellar beasts.
Over time, this side had become more and more dangerous. Not only did the interstellar beasts become active in spring, but the bloody smell from their fight would provoke more beasts.
Silin cheered up. She was just about to go over to help when she heard a beeping sound.
It was the tone of the communicator!
She was overjoyed. Could it be a message from Imperial City? Silin hurriedly looked down at the communicator, only to find that it was Xenos, not Snow, who sent it.
When the base station was repaired, and the signal could be sent, she sent a message to the cave to announce the good news after sending a message to Imperial City.
Her imperial brother not only received it, but also sent a reply!
This gave Silin a bit more confidence in the dilapidated base station. She opened the message happily, but was taken aback when she saw the text she received.
Brother: [Silin, I am really proud of you and… live well.]
What did this mean?
Silin felt her heart become empty, and the blood all over her body froze. She stared blankly at the last words.
Live well…
Why did her imperial brother say such a thing?
A bad premonition rose in her heart, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
“Your Highness Silin, how is it?”
Brady dealt with an interstellar beast and inadvertently discovered her abnormality. He quickly turned into a shadow, sneaked over, and asked her.
Silin’s face was as pale as paper.
She recovered from her panic and gritted her teeth. “Something happened in the cave. I have to go back first and find my brother. Stay here and guard this place!”
After speaking, she couldn’t help rushing out.
She really turned into the wind, flying through the jungle and grassland at an extremely fast speed. She was no longer as cautious as when she transported parts in the past.
Silin tried her best to burn her magic power, and her speed was even faster than when she was chasing the spaceship last time.
But she still didn’t feel it was enough.
It had to be faster, a bit faster… her imperial brother had to be fine, nothing had happened…
Her speed reached its peak, and a sharp whistle could be heard wherever she passed. The interstellar beasts wanted to attack her, only for her to disappear in the next second.
What’s more, they thought it was just a gust of wind that flew by and didn’t pay attention at all.
She didn’t set up a wind shield in order to increase her speed.
Her speed had increased, but it also brought trouble.
There were falling leaves in the air, raised dust, and condensed dew. These small things were originally ordinary, but they caused her great harm at such extreme speed.
Her cheeks were scratched by leaves, her clothes were torn by the sand and dust, and the dew hit her face painfully. Even so, Silin couldn’t care.
She gritted her teeth and returned to the cave as quickly as possible. This became her only belief.
The journey that originally took more than three days was abruptly shortened to one day.
After traveling without sleep, she finally rushed back to the woods where the underground cave was located the next evening.
It was just that what greeted her was the nightmare she didn’t want to see.
Silin stopped and stared blankly into the distance.
The place that should’ve been an underground cave had a huge, sunken crater. It was impossible to see where the mouth of the cave was.
Why… was it like this?
The silver-haired woman approached step by step, staring at the scene in front of her. The light in her eyes went out little by little.
“Your Highness Silin!”
At this time, a big man jumped down from the big tree next to her. It was the metal warrior, James. The only remaining warrior appeared from behind a tree, carrying his injured companion.
They were all muddy, and their hands were covered in it. It was even between their nails.
Silin looked at James and then at the two ordinary warriors. The expressions on their faces seemed to confirm her guess.
“What about my brother?”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she asked resolutely.
James showed a guilty and pained expression. Then he knelt down directly in front of Silin. The other two warriors also fell softly, bursting out into tears.
“We didn’t protect His Highness. Please punish us!”
Silin looked down at them with ashen eyes. “What about my brother?”
James looked at the huge crater in a depressed manner. “There was a giant snake that attacked us. We were fighting at the mouth of the cave while the prince stayed in the cave. Who knew…”
He continued sadly with red eyes, “There was an infestation of mountain drilling beasts. They destroyed the underground structure. In order to protect us, His Highness Xenos sealed the exit of the passage in ice while he himself… stayed inside…”
Silin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. However, the air flow seemed to be mixed with blades. All the breathing brought her pain.
James was still talking, but Silin couldn’t listen at all.
She walked step by step to the bottom of the pit. She knelt on the ground and dug at the mud like crazy with her palms.
Even bruised knees and bleeding fingers didn’t stop her.
She didn’t believe it. She didn’t believe that her brother had died just like this. He clearly promised her, he clearly promised her that they would live together.
They had persevered so hard, hadn’t they?
“Brother… Brother…”
Silin shouted loudly. The tears accumulated in her eyes finally fell drop by drop.
Beside her, James was trying to persuade her, but she didn’t hear anything. Her brain was buzzing, and she couldn’t hear anything.
No matter whether alive or dead, she couldn’t accept it until she saw the corpse. She couldn’t accept it, she couldn’t accept it!
Her hands were covered with mud and blood, but it seemed like she couldn’t feel any pain at all. The desperate pain on her face gradually turned into paranoid madness.
After an unknown amount of time, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of her. The hand was white and flawless, maintained like a work of art. It seemed very abrupt in such a wilderness.
That hand gently pressed on Silin’s hands.
Silin stopped and stared at the strange hand. It might be white and clean, but it didn’t belong to her imperial brother.
Her imperial brother’s hands were also very white, but they were sickly white. It was caused by not seeing the sun for many years.
Moreover, this was a right hand… her brother’s right hand had long been gone…
Silin raised her head in a daze. She saw the strange yet familiar silver-haired young man in front of her. He had purple eyes just like hers, and they were full of worry and sadness.
“Snow…” She called out softly.
Xu Sili looked at her, nodded, and said in a distressed manner, “It’s me. Imperial Sister, I came to pick you up.”
Silin finally confirmed that the young man in front of her wasn’t her hallucination. Behind the young man, there were two strangers as well as Brady and Abner.
Apparently, he went to the base station and then they came over.
It turned out to be so fast…
She frowned tightly, showing an expression that wanted to smile but couldn’t help crying.
“Little Snow, you’ve grown up…”
The fragile and sensitive boy four years ago had grown into such a handsome man with the majesty of an emperor…
Xu Sili wanted to help her up. “Imperial Sister, let’s go back first and talk about it.”
He really couldn’t bear to see her look so miserable.
The Silin in front of him was no longer the girl he had met in the trial world, but the conversation they had just now made him feel that the woman in front of him was her.
It was just that through hardships and vicissitudes, she had become more mature.
As for Xenos…
Xu Sili glanced at the crater under his feet. He had just heard James explain the general situation and he also felt sad and blamed himself.
If he had come over and found them earlier, wouldn’t this tragedy have been prevented?
However, Silin broke free from his hand.
She stood up unsteadily. She held a dagger in her hand, lowered her eyes and said with a gloomy expression, “Take them away.”
“Brady, Abner, James, Thomson and Maddie are all good warriors of the empire and my most trusted comrades. I hope you treat them well.”
Xu Sili frowned. “What about you?”
“I’m not going back.”
Silin raised her head and stared at the jungle in front of her. Her scarlet eyes revealed complete despair and madness.
“I want revenge! I’m going to kill them all!”
“They took away my home, my companions, my most beloved father and now even my brother…”
“I can’t just go back. I’m going to kill them all…”
She murmured like she no longer had any attachments in her life. She just wanted to have a good time before the end.
Xu Sili held her tightly, worried that she would do something stupid.
Silin didn’t struggle. She just looked at him with dull eyes and said, “Snow, don’t stop me.”
Xu Sili saw her deathly gray appearance and gritted his teeth. “Okay, I won’t stop you, but you have to wait.”
“Wait?”
“That’s right. Wait for me.”
Wait for me to shake people!
