On the Seven Towers

"Quick! There is a pheasant behind the grass." Selinda hid behind a tree and reminded Li Jia softly, "Try the wind blade technique again."

Li Jia was already very familiar with this magic. He opened his right hand, and a light cyan light appeared from his palm. With a wave of his hand, a wind blade that was almost invisible to the naked eye flew towards the pheasant that was probing its head. go.

There was a slight explosion, and countless cut grass blades shot out from the grass, and a ball of blood spurted out. Li Jia walked over and saw that the pheasant had fallen into the grass, its body and head separated.

"Your Ice Cone Technique is still suitable for hunting. The prey hunted by Wind Blade in the past is no longer the same." Li Jia said a little depressed. He had learned the Ice Cone Technique for a long time, but he never got the point.

"Eagles can't swim, cheetahs can't fly. No one can learn all magic, just find the area you are good at." Selinda followed up, handed the branch in her hand to Li Jia, and asked him to The chicken was tied up, "If I can learn a few more magics, I will become a magician."

Li Jia asked curiously: "How many magic tricks can I learn before I can be called a magician? Do I count now?"

"Of course not yet. You haven't been able to concentrate yet, and the speed and power of your magic release are limited. Only by successfully concentrating can you be called a magician. Now you are just a magic apprentice. As for me, although I have concentrated, my mental power is not strong enough. Using magic to assist sword skills is the basis of my strength, so I would rather be called a magic knight." Selinda smiled, "But according to your skills... you should try your best to be a magician.

"Magic is really hard to learn... So far, I have only learned the Wind Blade Technique and Swiftness Technique from you, and Xiao Chen taught me a magic trick."

"Don't be impatient. There is an old saying in Montenegro: the wild boar that rushes in front falls into the pit first."

"I just thought that to face your father, it's best to have a good identity." Li Jia lowered his head, a little embarrassed, "otherwise, I'm afraid he will have opinions."

"What do you think? Where is your courage? You didn't seem so nervous when you met Viscount Ruiz."

"How can this be the same thing? That's a business matter..."

"Why, your meeting with the count has become a private matter?"

"Selinda, aren't you asking questions knowingly? Your father is an important person to me."

"Is it important?" Selinda shook her head disdainfully, "He is just a mediocre person with the title of earl. I never do anything without his permission. Why can't I understand you anymore?"

"You... know, you know my thoughts."

"Haha, your intention... I can't see or touch it, how can I know it? The intention is more difficult to understand than magic runes." Selinda looked at Li Jia with a half-smile, "Just like Cadiz , he told me his thoughts when he was about to die, everything was meaningless. "

Li Jia looked at each other nervously. Although the two had gone through a lot and seemed to be quite close, there was a layer of paper that had never been broken.

Li Jia was afraid that Yidan would pierce the layer of paper and what he saw behind would not be what he expected.

Women are really incomprehensible creatures. If it were the pretty and lovely country girl, Li Jia would hold her in his arms and tell her his heart. If it was the majestic and solemn magic knight, Li Jia only dared to keep a distance and talk to her, and what was her true face? Different images of Selinda flashed in front of Li Jia, and finally overlapped on the huntress in front of him.

Li Jia wanted to see the dignity from the other person's expression, but as he looked at it, he fell into panic... Selinda was so beautiful, so powerful, and so noble, and the way she stared at him made him not much. His self-confidence suddenly melted away.

Li Jia knew that he had made the same mistake again. As before, he was always shy and did not dare to speak in front of girls. He worried about gain and loss while cursing his timidity, like a mouse trying to hang a bell on a cat.

"Have you ever thought about what the person you want to spend your whole life with is like?" Seeing Li Jia's hesitation, Selinda slowly put away her smile.

"Ah? No, no..." Poverty makes people lose their imagination, and Li Jia's lack of luck with women makes him unable to even have the lover of his dreams. He could only reply helplessly.

"I have thought about it. When I was a child, I always thought that my father was a hero, the earl of the kingdom, the leader of the knights, and the protector of the family. But until one day, I found that he could not even protect my mother, and I realized that he was just He is a coward and a playboy. The person I love must not be like that!" Selinda walked up to Li Jia and stared into his eyes. "Li Jia, you are knowledgeable, kind, gentle, and have great potential. . But for the person I’m looking for, that’s not enough. He must control his own destiny. He must be a hero!”

————————————————

"Heroes? Heroes should be left to those epics. I just hope that person is an ordinary person who can support a family and allow me to live with peace of mind. Maybe it's a remote town, maybe it's a village in the mountains. He doesn't He needs to be strong and handsome, as long as he looks good to me." After saying this, Karanda seemed a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Chen, I talked some nonsense without knowing it."

"No, no, no, this satisfies my curiosity very much. I thought female mercenaries like you hope that their partners will be heroes who can run horses on their arms and stand on their fists." Chen Hansheng said as he said, At the same time, use a hammer to drive down a wooden stake to fix the tent.

Kalanda slapped the other stake half a foot into the ground, which made Chen Hansheng feel a little sad. She was amused by Chen Hansheng's words, "Heroes and villains often have bad endings. I have been a mercenary for many years and have seen too many such things. So I never thought of looking for such a person."

"Okay, okay. I am happy that you think so." Chen Hansheng said happily.

Kalanda asked with a puzzled smile, "What are you happy about? What's wrong with you today? You always say weird things."

"Happy, because this is the second good news I heard today."

"The second good news?"

"Well, you don't want to find a hero as your husband, so I have a chance?" Chen Hansheng said directly, without blushing, "As for the first good news, it's that you don't have a husband, so I don't have to work hard to kill a love rival."

"You..." Kalanda's hand was frozen in the air holding a stake. Chen Hansheng watched a red cloud slowly float up from her face, floating over her straight nose, floating on her plump cheeks, bypassing her flustered eyes, and finally even her forehead turned red. They were so close that he could feel the heat steaming up from her face, and her face soon became like a big red Fuji, so Chen Hansheng couldn't help but take a bite.

"Ah~" After a short scream, the decisive and ruthless leader Kalanda used her powerful fighting spirit and flew away like a rocket.

The airflow from the fighting spirit blew Chen Hansheng to the ground. He smiled foolishly and looked around, and found that everyone was busy, only Catalina opened her mouth and looked at him from behind the tent.

"You, you, you actually kissed the leader's face!! The last mercenary who wanted to kiss her hand was kicked into the river by her!" The little girl said in shock.

"I was also prepared to be kicked, but your leader seemed reluctant." Chen Hansheng stood up with a smile.

"But, but... Why did the leader suddenly..."

"Hey! Didn't you see that I was doing this and that with your leader every day? That's all kung fu, and you, just remembered our old saying 'Kung fu pays off'." Chen Hansheng said proudly.

"Hard work pays off?" Catalina felt that this statement made sense. She silently read it over and over again, and unconsciously glanced at a corner of the camp.

"By the way, I have a task for you. I have set up a small kitchen behind the camp and I am going to cook a good meal for your leader. She is tired these days. As long as you can help me trick her... Oh, please come over. I will also let you eat enough. I have brought all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from my hometown. I guarantee that you have never eaten such delicious food in your life!"

People in this era are easily moved by food. Catalina, who didn't know what she was thinking, came back to her senses, swallowed her saliva, and bargained: "No, how can you get away with the leader's business so easily. Three meals! Three meals must be equally delicious! I promise to leave after eating tonight, and I can't see or hear anything!"

"Deal!"

————————————————

When Li Jia returned to the camp, he looked uncomfortable. He saw Xiao Chen sitting by the fire in a daze, and handed a string of pheasants to the cook, and ran over in a hurry.

Xiao Chen had changed into a local short outfit, with a short cotton robe on the upper body and long trousers with tight legs on the lower body. The cat was lazily curled up next to his boots.

"It's terrible!" Li Jia rushed over and sat next to Xiao Chen, almost pushing him off the wooden stool, "Brother, help me, I seem to have been given a good guy card just now, what should I do? What should I do?"

Xiao Chen was originally thinking about something, and was startled by Li Jia, "What's going on?"

Li Jia told everything that Serinda said in the woods today, and then pulled Xiao Chen's sleeve and asked repeatedly: "Does she look down on me? Is that right?"

"It looks like... not like that." Xiao Chen touched his chin, "If she doesn't like you, why would she go hunting with you and waste so much time talking to you?"

"But. I acted like a coward. I couldn't even say "I like you." Li Jia covered his face and said, "You have to find a way to help me, help me win her back impression of me."

"According to me..., you should do what you should do, and there are still many opportunities. I think this woman is not that simple. She must understand the benefits of marrying us and will not give up on you so easily."

"This, I am talking to you about love..., and even if it is a marriage, there are many choices. Shi Hao is stronger than me, right? Lao Chen is more mature than me, right? There are so many big wolves and small wolves in the business team and the guard team staring at her. So, even if you can be my competitor, right? Serinda is so beautiful, if she shows you affection, will you not be tempted?"

Xiao Chen laughed out loud, "Don't think everyone is like you, and lose your soul when you see a woman. This matter can't be rushed."

"Cat!" Li Jia suddenly stared at the cat at his feet, with an excited look on his face.

"Hey, no way, don't tell me you thought about that? Do you really want to do that?" Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

And Li Jia had already told him the answer with a hungry wolf-like look.
