The woman hidden among the leaves, her face was smeared with plant juice, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but the contours of her facial features were very delicate, and her lavender eyes revealed a wild sharpness.

Her silver hair was very short, tied into a small knot and pinned behind her head, and the tail of her hair was flat and neat, as if it had been cut off at the root by a sharp knife.

At this moment, feeling the magic power suddenly surging from her body, the woman was a little dazed. The long-eared beast in the distance seemed to sense something, and jumped to escape.

"Hoo--" The wind blade, which had been waiting for an opportunity, flew out and cut its throat precisely.

Blood splattered.

"Boom—" The long-eared beast didn't die immediately, it kicked its feet on a rock, and the rock was broken into several pieces, and its body was like a projectile, fleeing at a high speed into the distance.

"Bang—" the fleeing long-eared beast hit a transparent wall.

The instantaneous impact made the face of the woman who controlled the wind element sink. Normally, she would have been escaped by the long-eared beast, but because of the magic power she just broke through and improved, she is still able to handle it with ease at this moment.

The long-eared beast, which jumped desperately, was hit hard again after hitting the transparent wind wall, and its body fell limply to the ground, dying of suffocation and serious head injuries.

The wind elements that were originally distributed around gradually shrank, controlling the smell of blood to a smaller and smaller range, and finally wrapped its corpse tightly.

Even if something unexpected happens, the woman's operation is still stable and precise, which is the muscle memory trained in countless life and death fights.

At this moment, she had regained her composure, controlled the dead long-eared beast, and moved it cautiously to her side.

Winter is coming soon, and she doesn't want to experience another difficult winter because of insufficient food reserves.

While observing the surroundings vigilantly, she took out a piece of animal skin and quickly wrapped the captured prey.

This long-eared animal foot is half a meter long, and it has stored a lot of fat for the winter. It looks very fat, but now it is cheap for her.

The woman fastened the animal skin, carried the long-eared beast on her back, then manipulated the wind element, and quickly left here.

After she left, the uncontrollable bloody smell spread, and soon attracted a group of hungry hunters. After they saw each other, they quickly broke out in battle.

The roar of the beast came from far behind, and the woman not only didn't stop, but even ran faster.

Her figure was speeding through the forest, because of the blessing of flying and lightness, she was as fast as a gust of wind, and finally came to a pile of rocks, moved the rocks away, and drilled into the hole below cave.

When she controlled the stones to block the cave, before she had time to put on a wind shield, a shadow came in through the cracks in the stones.

The shadow transformed into a bearded man with three scars left by sharp claws on his face. He looked hideous and terrifying, but his grinning appearance revealed a bit of honesty.

"His Royal Highness!" the man shouted respectfully.

Sirin nodded and didn't speak immediately. Instead, she waved her hand and placed a wind shield at the entrance of the cave to prevent the smell in the cave from wafting out and causing unnecessary trouble.

After finishing her defense, she looked at her companion.

Thinking of the sudden surge of magic power just now, I couldn't help asking: "Brady, did you experience any abnormalities today?"

Brady shook his head and sighed, "I found a lone moose, but halfway through the fight, I was almost surrounded by other moose. Fortunately, I ran fast enough."

"These interstellar beasts seem to have become spirits, and now they all know how to set traps!"

He complained, and opened the animal skin pocket on his waist, "I only found some pine cones."

These pine cones are very big, one about the size of a fist. Of course, the shell is also very hard. After being roasted by fire, it will become brittle and the pulp inside will become very fragrant.

Sirin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It's pretty good, my brother loves this pine cone!"

Brady grinned now, and reached out to take the long-eared beast on her shoulder as she walked deeper into the cave.

"Your Highness is still amazing, you can hunt good things every time."

"It's just luck."

Sirin said something casually, and walked quickly to the end of the passage.

The underground passage was dimly lit, but she had walked this road for almost three years, and she could pass through it with her eyes closed, not to mention that there was still a faint light at the end of the passage.

That light was like a lighthouse guiding ships back to port, and it was the driving force behind her to persevere in such a difficult situation.

This was the former border of the Roland Empire, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the imperial city. After the beast tide, it was once again occupied by interstellar beasts.

All the military defense lines were destroyed, and for the past three years, she and several survivors hid in this underground cave, lingering on her last breath, completely losing contact with the outside world.

She didn't know what was going on with the Empire, or if the rest of her loved ones were still alive.

The communication base station was destroyed, and the communication device lost its function. She didn't even know whether the empire that once existed as a belief in life had now perished in the beast tide.

Maybe, she won't be able to go back in her lifetime.

Because of the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, they can only barely survive in the wild, and they have no spare energy to break through the encirclement of the interstellar beasts and return to the homeland that does not know if it still exists.

But today, things seem to have turned around.

She has been stuck in two stars for many years and has been stagnant, but she has just suddenly broken through the bottleneck!She really felt the increase in magic power, which was not her illusion.

Thinking of this, Sirin's footsteps became even more anxious.

She even used the light body technique, when she entered the cave at the end of the passage, two soldiers who stayed behind greeted her.

Not many people survived the beast horde, and some died while hunting in the past three years, and now there are only seven left, and two elemental warriors have not returned.

"your Highness!"

These two fighters are ordinary people, and they were injured in the beast horde. In this situation, they will die outside. They usually stay in the cave.

Seeing that the faces of the two were normal, Sirin nodded and said, "The prey is with Brady, you should help him deal with it, thinking that nothing happened during their hunting."

"Yes!"

They limped to find Brady across the tunnel, while Sirin walked quickly into the cave.

This underground cave is as big as a palace. It was originally only the size of a room, but after being modified and strengthened by an earth elementalist, it can barely accommodate people.

Sirin went straight to the deepest room, came to the door, and paused slightly.

Looking at the door made of simple wooden boards, she pursed her lips, bent her fingers and knocked on the door board.

"Knock, knock, knock—" the crisp knock on the door resounded in the silent cave, reverberating for a while.

After a while, a man's slightly hoarse voice sounded in the room, "Come in."

Sirin took a deep breath, pushed the door open with an excited smile and walked in.

"Brother, did you sense it?"

After entering the door, she went straight to the only wooden bed in the room.

This room is about [-] square meters. Although the condition is simple, it is furnished very comfortably. Even through the unique design, the light from the ground can penetrate and shine on the bedside.

The man sitting on the head of the bed had long silver hair that almost fell to the bed board. He was handsome and his complexion was as white as snow.

However, if you continue down, you will see the empty sleeve of his right arm, and the missing legs below the knee.

His expression is flat and calm, but if you look closely, you will find that it is a kind of hollowness that has lost its soul.

Xilin squatted down beside the bed enduring the pain in her heart, and said with a grin, "Brother, I broke through! Did you feel it?"

The man turned his head to look at her, his dead purple eyes finally became a little brighter, he nodded: "Well, I also broke through."

"really?"

Sirin was a little surprised, "You said before that we were unable to break through after two stars, most likely because we were sealed by some kind of power, but now we can continue to improve suddenly, does it mean that the seal has been broken?"

Thanos looked at her excited expression and understood the reason for her excitement, so he followed her words and said, "Well, it's very possible."

"Father must have unlocked it!" Sirin said, "You said that he was the first to propose this theory, didn't you?"

Thanos paused slightly and nodded.

"Does this mean...Father and the others are still alive? The empire has not completely perished?"

Sirin took Thanos's remaining hand, her eyes were red like a bunny.

Seeing her hopeful yet suppressed pained eyes, Thanos' throat felt a little dry, he raised his left arm, and gently touched the top of her hair with his palm.

Sirin blinked hard and said softly: "Brother, father is still alive, he will definitely come to pick us up. When we return to the imperial city, we can buy the most advanced technology from the Star Alliance."

"Your body will get better, it will!"

Thanos didn't say anything, he just took her into his arms and patted her on the back tenderly.

Leaning in his arms, Sirin clenched her fists and bit her lower lip tightly.

The beast swarm broke out too quickly that day, and they miscalculated the scale of the beast swarm, which resulted in some soldiers and civilians not being evacuated in time.

After the military ramparts on the front lines were smashed by the crazed high-level star beasts, it was all over.

Her comrades-in-arms and her people died in large numbers in front of her, and lost their lives helplessly under the trampling of the interstellar beasts.

And after she and her brother managed to escape for a certain distance under the protection of Brady, they were finally caught up.

Her magic power has been exhausted, and she can only use her mortal body to make the final struggle. At that time, she was already desperate, and she was fighting with the mental preparation of mortal.

As a result, on the way, Brady discovered the cave.

The cave, which can only accommodate one person, became their last hope.

At the most critical moment, Brother Huang chose to break back and asked Brady to use his last shadow power to lead her into the cave, while he guarded the entrance of the cave to resist the interstellar beasts, and then followed them in after they entered safely.

However, the interstellar beast that followed closely did not let him go, and bit off his legs from behind.

After Brother Huang entered the cave, he endured the severe pain and released ice blocks to block the entrance of the cave. After holding on for more than ten minutes, the interstellar beasts outside dispersed.

After that, Thanos was in a coma for two weeks.

In addition to his legs, his arm was also bitten and poisoned, and it would spread to his heart without treatment. Brady could only reluctantly amputate his limb.

During the coma, he had a fever all the time, and was hanging by the few medicines left. He didn't use the water healing technique to heal himself until he woke up.

However, Water Healing does not allow severed limbs to grow.

As long as he recalled his situation at that time and his expression after hearing the news, Sirin's heart ached to the point where she couldn't breathe.

The beast tide gradually subsided, but the interstellar beasts did not leave, they could only hide in this cave, and after Brady recovered, he went out again and rescued some people one after another.

After Thanos' treatment, these people also saved their lives.

They have lived here ever since.

Days passed by, and she was full of hope from the beginning to no longer thinking about things that were too far away.

Her whole motivation in life is to take good care of her brother, and to lead the survivors to live in this perilous wilderness.

She stopped thinking about whether the empire still existed, and whether someone would come to save them.

Because, she is afraid.

She knew that the reason for supporting her brother to live in this dark underground was to provide them with fresh water.

Because of the existence of Thanos, they don't need to worry about water sources, and they can get good treatment after injury.

This seemed to be the only meaning for him to survive.

She didn't know if her brother would leave her if he could really come back, she couldn't see anything called hope in his darkening eyes.

"Brother, we'll be fine."

Sirin said with tears, "You believe me, now that the restrictions are lifted, I will break through to Samsung soon, and I will become very strong."

"I can catch more prey and bring you a better life. I will take good care of you. When I break through to four-star and five-star, I can take you home..."

Come back home?

Thanos gently stroked the top of his sister's hair, and looked up at the light coming in from the small holes.

After staying underground for nearly three years, he couldn't remember what his "home" was like in the past.

After all, it was as far away as a dream, as if it had never been owned before.

"Yes." He said in a low voice, "As long as Sirin says it, I will believe it."

"Don't worry, I won't leave you behind."

Sirin raised her tearful eyes and looked at him with red eyes, "It's okay, you can't lie to me."

Thanos did not speak, and reached out his hand to take out the handkerchief from his bosom. After wetting it with condensed water, he gently wiped away her tears and the plant juice smeared on her face for camouflage.

It's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright...

Xu Sili didn't know, because he upgraded the imperial city ahead of time, what changes happened in history, and who was influenced by him.

He is now busy inspecting the upgraded results.

First of all, the most intuitive benefit is that his level restriction is finally lifted.

After the star limit was lifted, his original accumulated experience points directly sent him to upgrade two levels, reaching lv22, and to upgrade to another level, the experience value requirement has reached 16000 points.

Starting from level 20, every time he goes up, he can gain 9 points of stamina, plus 20 points of freedom. After he upgrades to level 22, he will lose 8 points more than the loss of the protection circle.

In this way, all his weak symptoms disappeared, and even his face became much rosier.

The improvement of his spirit and intelligence also made him feel clearer. His agility and defense still grew slowly, but they were much better than when he first started.

Moreover, after the main city was upgraded, he could clearly feel the increase in the concentration of elements in the imperial city. Judging from the feedback, the other four main cities have also increased somewhat.

After all, this is the imperial city, which will always be one level higher than other main cities, and it will also affect the entire Roland Empire.

And after the level was raised, Xu Sili found that the protective barrier of the imperial city seemed to have become stronger.

This is a good sign. After Lanyue City is upgraded to level 2, I believe that there will always be holes in the barrier, and the situation should improve. Although since Si Sheng cleaned up a wave, Lanyue City is currently in a rare truce.

According to the statistics of the Elementalist Academy, after the seal was released, basically all the two-star elementalists had a breakthrough.

After all, they have been stuck at two stars for many years. Like Dean Justin, they have been stuck for decades. They are not lacking in experience. They were unable to improve before because of level restrictions.

Even, after the restriction was lifted, some people's strength showed a retaliatory increase.

For example, Li Zhecheng directly increased by half a star, leaping from level 20 to level 25, and became someone including Xu Sili who would give him admiration.

The NPC's upgrade system is different from his. Xu Sili relies on experience to quantify, and there is basically no bottleneck period. Although NPCs are easy to get into trouble, they can often achieve rapid metaphysical upgrades by relying on their own perception.

In addition to the two-star elementalists, elementalists of other levels also benefited somewhat.

Somatosensory means that cultivation has become much easier, and it is also easier to obtain epiphany.

Wen Jishan took this opportunity to cooperate with the Elementalist Academy to promote meditation and body tempering to the whole people.

Of course, learning requires payment of a certain fee.

The nobles charged the most, while the poor were free. Under Xiao Wu's supervision, this measure was implemented to the greatest extent.

Because Xu Sili didn't care about 21 at all, and directly promulgated the law, announcing that all people have the obligation to learn and practice meditation and body tempering.

As a citizen, everyone needs to pay a fee called "compulsory education", which is deducted by Xiaowu according to each person's annual income.

Of course, there are many civilians in the Roland Empire with very little electronic account balances, or even no electronic accounts, but these civilians themselves are not the target of this policy.

This is a typical "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor".

If it was a peaceful age, and there was no such powerful artificial intelligence control as Xiaowu, Xu Sili might not dare to do this.

But now is a troubled time, and in troubled times, heavy codes should be used.

What's more, these aristocrats have no choice, because the entire planet is the territory of the Roland Empire, and they have no channels to communicate with aliens, and they cannot immigrate or transfer assets.

Although, their assets are worthless on alien planets.

Xu Sili is not afraid of their rebellion now.

His popular support rate directly exceeded 80% after the live broadcast of the lifting of interstellar restrictions that day, and Si Sheng's absolute force support.

As long as he dared to rebel, he dared to destroy them directly, not to mention Xiao Wu who controlled the public opinion on the Internet and tried to hide behind the scenes to stir up public sentiment.

But then again, there are not many people who oppose this policy.

Because for the nobles and the middle class, the cost is within the acceptable range, and if you practice these two basic techniques, you have the opportunity to become an elementalist!

Everyone likes this kind of cultivation obligation.

Even, under the operation of Wen Jishan, it turned out that how much money was deducted was a status symbol.

For a while, posting the deduction bills for "compulsory education" became a trend, as long as posting the numbers, you can show off your worth and status, and you can even visit Versailles.

This result was something that Xu Sili never expected. He was already prepared for someone to do tricks, so I can only say...Wen Jishan is amazing!

Then there is the teleportation array that Xu Sili is most looking forward to!

The initial purpose of upgrading the main city was originally for the blueprint of the teleportation array. Although I have seen the second brother, the construction of the teleportation array is still a very important project.

Now that the five main cities cannot communicate with each other, it is too passive and closed, which makes him unable to grasp the development of the other four main cities well, so the teleportation array is absolutely necessary.

After about a week, when he began to wonder whether he was being fooled by the players of the future forum, the blueprint of the teleportation array finally got news-as the expansion of Doha town continued, the earth element of the engineering team The teacher accidentally dug a relic during a regular terrain adjustment.

In this ruins, not only the heritage of the elemental pharmacist, but also the blueprints and some materials for building the two-way teleportation array were unearthed!

Everyone thought it was a coincidence, because the imperial city had been explored before, and there should be no other relics. This relic is a treasure left in the sea.

Only Xu Sili knew that this was all brought about by the upgrade of the main city.

After careful consideration, Xu Sili gave the inheritance of the elemental pharmacist to the special talents in medicine manufacturing that he had discovered before, and she will also become the life career mentor of the players.

For Su Lin who was the first to study bleeding medicine and blue medicine, Xu Sili felt a little guilty, and originally planned to let him inherit it, but who knew that he gave up the opportunity.

In the future, he will find other ways to compensate him. He really likes this smart, hardworking and honest kid.

The construction of the two-way teleportation array was naturally entrusted to Chi Yu, the future master architect. He has already proved his strength in the construction of the Doha town.

However, he is still very immature at the moment, and without Su Mo's help during the shutdown period, Xu Sili was still a little worried, so Wen Jishan sent more people to him.

He hopes to complete the teleportation formation in the imperial city before the second test starts. There are only less than two months left, which is not a small difficulty, but with the speed-up bonus of Chi Yu's buildings, he feels that it is not impossible.

After making these arrangements, Wen Jishan has already finalized the list of elemental engineers to be dispatched to the other three main cities.

So, on a sunny morning, Xu Sili left the bionic robot behind again, and secretly boarded the shuttle with Si Sheng to dispatch the engineering team.

Their first stop was Lihai City, which was built by the sea.
