VCRMM: Chapter 145 Part 1

Mr Hou Zhen’s answer made Xu Sili very happy. Then he asked about the situation of the several other old people and their life on alien planets over the years.

“In addition to me, there are four old friends who are interested in returning to Escher. They also listened to His Majesty Roland’s song…”

The old man suddenly paused and looked up at Xu Sili.

The young man smiled slightly. “Yes, I am His Majesty Roland, the one who sang the songs. You should’ve heard the magic of those songs, right?”

Mr Huo’s eyes widened slightly as if he realized something. Then he bowed his head and said, “That’s right, I should’ve thought of it a long time ago. Only a sound elementalist can do this!”

He could sing Roland’s Good Night Song but why wasn’t it a good sleep aid when he sang it? It was because only a sound elementalist could bring out the potential of the song!

If it was an elementalist born on Escher, who would dare to use the name of His Majesty Roland?

Xu Sili didn’t deny it. “You guessed right. I am a sound elementalist and these songs are my skills.”

The old man frowned when he heard this.

“Your Majesty, elementalist skills are the secret of every elementalist, among which, the sound elementalist is the most special. From now on… you shouldn’t record skills as new songs to release.”

In their time, elementalist skills were the treasure of every elementalist and were as precious as life, especially the rarest sound elementalists.

Which sound elementalist would casually play sound elementalist techniques except when fighting? Usually, a sky-high appearance fee was necessary if they were asked to sing a song, let alone recording it.

He thought of how the initial fee of Roland’s Good Night Song was only 0.1 cosmic coins per month and Mr Huo felt a bit heartbroken.

However, he understood that His Majesty had to use such a method to generate income. It was obvious that Roland had reached the point of last resort and His Majesty couldn’t bear to tell him about it.

Seeing the solemn and serious expression on his face, Xu Sili inexplicably felt like he had returned to the past and was facing the professor who taught him vocal music.

“……”

He smiled stiffly and nodded. “Yes, I won’t do this in the future.”

In any case, three folk songs and these original songs were enough. He didn’t need to make money from singing now and could use it as a hobby. He would talk about it later when he had inspiration.

The old man was very satisfied with this answer.

He continued to admire it. “Your Majesty’s singing is very beautiful. Every time we hear it, it makes us feel like we have returned to our homeland…”

As he spoke, his eyes became a bit moist again. Only this time, he controlled his emotions.

“Among the few of us, only Aina and I were born in Roland. She was the one who proposed to return to Roland and she is also the one with the strongest will to return to serve her country.”

“She has now communicated with the people at the immigration office. If she returns to Roland as originally planned… no matter whether you accept us or not, Aina will probably stay regardless.”

Mr Hou said half seriously and half jokingly.

Xu Sili hurriedly said, “With Roland’s situation, the empire will naturally welcome you and any teachers willing to return. How can we not accept you?”

Hearing him call them teachers, Mr Huo’s heart was moved. His eyes became softer and more loving when he looked at Xu Sili.

“We are all old. As long as Your Majesty doesn’t dislike it.”

Then he continued.

“Apart from Aina and I, the other three are from different countries of Escher Star, including Roland’s former allies and naturally, its enemies as well…”

He paused slightly when mentioning this.

Xu Sili waved his hand and said, “These are already old matters. It isn’t interesting to mention them again.”

“Roland has survived all these years and it is inseparable from the help of other countries… As far as I know, before the disaster, the countries were already discussing the matter of merging and forming alliances.”

Seeing him hold no grudges, Mr Huo was overjoyed. “That’s right. In order to explore the universe and reduce internal friction, all the ancient countries of Escher were interested in uniting and developing together. Who knew…”

Mr Huo was a bit nostalgic and excited when he recalled that time. Then he finished talking about it and left his sadness behind in vain.

Xu Sili poured him a cup of tea and slowly waited for the old man to calm down. Then he listened as Mr Huo continued, “The three of them also want to go back to Escher together to see.”

“We know that it isn’t easy to go back. We didn’t say it but we all knew it. If Roland needs us, we will definitely stay.”

“Three star elementalists, in our time…”

Mr Huo paused for a moment. He glanced at Xu Sili and changed his words. “There is still a lot of room for improvement.”

Xu Sili understood what he meant. After all, he was now ashamed that he had only returned to his three star state. Probably in that era, a three star elementalist wasn’t worth mentioning.

It was his euphemism that made Xu Sili dumbfounded.

“Yes.” He nodded. “But due to the seal, a three star elementalist is already considered a top combat power in today’s Roland.”

Mr Huo was obviously a bit angry and he gritted his teeth again. “This has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Your Majesty has done a good job.”

“In my lifetime, I must find out who put such a vicious curse on Escher and get revenge for all the sacrificed heroic spirits!”

Of course, Xu Sili couldn’t tell him it was done by the planners and could only let him scold them.

“All five of us have recovered to three star strength.”

Speaking of this, Mr Huo sighed emotionally. “I was already on the verge of dying and was just waiting for the day when I died. I didn’t expect that my level could be restored before death and my life expectancy increased by a hundred years again.”

“I wasn’t sure before but now I know that this was Your Majesty’s kindness and the Roland Empire. We won’t dare forget it for the rest of our lives.”

“Personally, my combat skills are a bit rusty but my knowledge and experience are engraved in my blood and bone marrow. After returning to Roland, I will spend the rest of my life teaching what I have learned to the young elementalists of the empire.”

“They are the fires of the elementalist civilization and I will never take what my masters have taught me and what I have comprehended to my grave!”

His words gradually became passionate and the old man seemed to be more than ten years younger. This made Xu Sili nod again and again, his face full of smiles.

Sure enough, this was an exiled mentor and he had to be invited back!

There was a three star strength and a four or five star knowledge as well as many years of experience living in alien civilizations. They would definitely bring gratifying changes after returning to Roland.

At the very least, players could learn skills from the mentors!

“Over the years, we have accumulated some capital outside and Aina has developed very well in material research with her alchemy skill.”

Otherwise, the country she had immigrated to wouldn’t be so determined not to let her go.

“If the empire needs it, we don’t mind helping out!”

Xu Sili was a bit moved before secretly smiling bitterly. The old man must think Roland was too poor to say this, right? It was no wonder why he thought so. Even the emperor was reduced to singing. It was indeed a bit miserable.

More than half a year ago, Roland was indeed so poor that they couldn’t pay the alliance fee of 10 million cosmic coins.

“No need just yet. If there is a need in the future, I won’t be polite with the teachers.”

Xu Sili didn’t refuse and said with a light smile.

Seeing that he didn’t mean to force himself, Mr Huo nodded and didn’t continue to insist.

Xu Sili was attracted by the information he had just revealed. “You said that Ms Aina is good at alchemy?”

“Yes.”

Mr Huo nodded. “Aina is a famous alchemy genius of Roland. She created many interesting things in the past such as the improvement of the elemental carriage as well as the elemental cannon and elemental pistol. She is really amazing!”

Xu Sili was fascinated after hearing it. “To be honest, the inheritance of the elemental alchemist is almost broken. If Ms Aina can continue the inheritance then it would be great.”

“If this is the case, Aina will definitely want to fly back with wings once she finds out!”

“Haha, it is really Roland’s good luck.”

Xu Sili and the old man talked happily while Si Sheng listened silently by the side, refilling a cup of tea for them from time to time. He was silent but Mr Huo didn’t ignore his existence.

This marshal was already restraining himself but Mr Ho couldn’t help getting heart palpitations when meeting the black eyes.

He wasn’t shocked, but pleased. It seemed that Roland wasn’t without a defensive ability. Based on their words and deeds, he could see the closeness of His Majesty and the marshal. There should be no disagreements between them, letting him relax a bit.

Regardless of His Majesty’s young age, the methods of His Majesty were very good.

Xu Sili didn’t know what the old man was imagining. After a long conversation, he also had some understanding of the lives and careers of the future mentors.

In addition to the elemental alchemist Aina, he was most interested in the elemental chef, Archibald, from the Sovo Empire.

The elemental chef had already been lit up on his talent reserve panel but the number had always been zero.

He originally thought he would have to rely on the players to explore it. Now it seemed that he didn’t need to rely on this.

He just didn’t know…

How did this elemental dish taste? What special effects were there when eating it?

Finally, they agreed to meet the next day.

No matter whether it was out of respect or for an inspection, Xu Sili wanted to meet the talents who wanted to return in advance if conditions permitted.

Mr Huo naturally had no reason to refuse. He was the only one who came over today, which already made him very embarrassed. He would definitely call everyone over tomorrow.
