On the Seven Towers

In the early morning, Selinda walked into the martial arts field outside the castle wearing leather armor and holding a long sword.

It is said to be a martial arts field, but it is actually more like an open space by the forest. There are several wooden stakes and arrow targets erected in the field, and there is a simple wooden fence around it to prevent outsiders from entering accidentally.

To her surprise, strange slogans rang out in the usually deserted martial arts arena. Nearly twenty soldiers brought by Xiao Chen lined up in a row under this slogan and made some stop-and-go movements.

Although Selinda had been with Xiao Chen and his party, she had never really seen the training of these soldiers. In her opinion, knights' fighting is more of a reflection of personal martial arts, while lining up is the job of low-level soldiers. These weaklings have to stand shoulder to shoulder to muster a modicum of courage. As for the way to arrange them in order, it is also very simple, just use a whip. However, such a team is almost ineffective in the face of powerful warriors or mages. Whether it is an outbreak of fighting spirit or a magical attack, they can quickly collapse.

However, this team from Montenegro was very strange. Several people who clearly exuded the aura of strong men in their movements actually lined up with some ordinary soldiers. They turned left and right for a while, doing many battles with full force. Not on the action.

Even if you are a strong person, do you still have to obey orders? Will this make them more effective on the battlefield? Selinda was not sure, but she at least understood one thing: these people must be very willing to listen to that guy Xiao Chen, so they would be willing to be manipulated in an open space.

Beside these people, there was a girl holding a silver-white spear and practicing her marksmanship alone. The white gun was very simple in style. It was like a white dragon in the girl's hand, shuttling through the air dexterously and quickly.

Selinda looked at it carefully for a while and found that the idea of ​​​​this set of marksmanship was very sophisticated, but it was very different from the marksmanship spread in the kingdom.

After the girl finished practicing a routine, Selinda walked up and said, "I've never seen you before. You have pretty good skills."

"Ye Zi. But I recognize you, Sir Selinda. You and Li Jia are very close. I saw you together several times when I was on duty at Black Mountain Castle." Ye Zi put his spear on the ground and looked from the side. I took a towel from the fence and wiped my sweat.

Selinda smiled and said: "Then I was really blind. I didn't realize that such a master was near me. Last time I came and went in a hurry, and I didn't have time to meet with you strong men one by one. Now I can Good luck meeting me again. ”

"I'm not a strong person. My fighting spirit has only been activated for a short time." Ye Zi said truthfully.

"Ordinary adventurers will always brag about their power. It's best to scare away the enemy with words. Or at least they will be secretive and don't want to reveal their strength. There are many who are as direct as you." Selinda leaned on the fence. , said while gently stroking the hilt of the sword with his hand.

"I'm not an adventurer, and I don't need to lie to you. I don't like that. I only have a little bit of fighting spirit, and saying a hundred words won't make it any bigger." Ye Zi continued to hang the towel on the fence. Leaning against the fence, she looked at Selinda generously.

Selinda smiled, and under the light of the morning sun, her smile was dyed golden. She suddenly admired the girl in front of her. Talking to her didn't seem to require any extra thought, "A little bit of fighting spirit is enough to open up a relationship." There is a huge gap between humans and ordinary warriors. I can’t do this, so I can only use some simple magic to help me fight. It’s not easy for you to be on the right path at such a young age.”

"The right path?" Ye Zi and Ji Yijun's fighting spirit evolved from their own internal martial arts on the earth. In fact, they don't have a clear understanding of the power of this world. Now that someone is willing to talk about it, she can naturally listen. serious.

"Don't you know? Only by exercising the power of magic or fighting spirit to the extreme can you embark on the road to the Holy Realm. Other side sects do not have this opportunity, such as me. My magic talent is not enough and I am not qualified to pursue magic. of avenue.”

"What is the Holy Land?" Ye Zi couldn't help but ask.

Sure enough, she didn’t understand anything. Selinda thought to herself. It seems that Black Mountain Castle’s inheritance of fighting spirit is very weak. She thought about it and said: “The holy realm is the highest realm that mortals can reach. Breaking through the holy realm is the realm of gods. Take you for example, your fighting spirit has just been generated. Once you have passed through the three stages of fighting spirit all over your body, fighting spirit gathering and leaving your body, you will be qualified to touch the threshold of the holy realm."

"I use my fighting spirit a little, and I already feel that I am much stronger. If I reach the realm of the Holy Realm..."

"It will be very powerful. A hundred of you will not be the opponent of a strong Saint. However, it is unimaginable to reach that step. As far as I know, there are no strong human Saints in the entire continent. "There are not many people in total," Selinda said with some yearning.

"Who are they?"

"The kingdom has Void Saint Saso and Thousand Ren Sword Saint Venegas, the empire has Silent Praise Morales and Glacier Walker Celia, the southern city-state has Light Assassin Kiros, and the northern desert has Wolf King Qingya and Lion Wang Yinmane, as well as the top four Golden Bough Priests in the Natural Temple. As for secretly, there may be a few followers of the ancient gods who are ready to move, the secret guardians of the major forces, and the escaping mage tower. Bar."

"How do you become that strong?"

Selinda burst out laughing. She now likes this simple girl more and more, "Fight, keep fighting and understanding, maybe one day you will reach the other side."

So, she pulled out the sword in her hand.

And Ye Zi also raised the gun in his hand.

————————————————————

Selinda walked in the corridor of the castle, her right hand hanging above her left forearm, silently reciting a spell. Under the faint green light emitted from the right heart, you can see a bloody mouth more than ten centimeters long on the left arm.

In the fight just now, although she narrowly defeated the opponent with her rich experience, Ye Zi's spear still left a wound on her body.

But she had a great time fighting. Ye Zi was a very pure person, and the feeling of competing with her was equally pure. He just kept fighting, fighting, and knocking down the opponent in every possible way.

By the time Selinda reached the door of her room, the wound had begun to clot and the bleeding had stopped. She pushed open the door, but stopped. Because there was a person she hated standing next to the window sill in her room.

"Dear little Selinda, I just watched the competition from here. You still have a lot to learn." Count Carlos said with a smile.

"Get out!" Selinda didn't seem to want to say anything to him at all.

"You are still so energetic, my child." The count habitually ignored her attitude, "However, when I came here today, I had something to discuss with you. If you are in a bad mood, we can wait until next time. "

Selinda stood in the doorway without saying a word.

"Okay, okay." The Earl shrugged and slowly moved towards the door. When he moved to the door, he suddenly sighed and said, "I wonder if that boy Li Jia is crying or laughing now?"

"Say!" Selinda shouted.

The earl curled up his lips and turned around, "I talked with Xiao Chen yesterday and planned to marry you to him."

Selinda's face darkened, and she looked at the Earl, as if trying to tell whether this was a fact or a bad joke, "You want to dictate to my marriage?"

"Isn't this the custom of the kingdom? A father is responsible for his daughter's lifelong events?" the earl looked innocent.

"Others have nothing to do with me. We don't talk about this in our family, because you are you and I am me." Selinda said categorically.

"Xiao Chen is a very good candidate. He has strong strength, a strong background, and decent appearance. He is much more mature than that kid Li Jia. I know what you have been planning. Haven't you always wanted to win for the family? Do you admit them? This lineage of magicians has endless potential, right? This is your best chance."

"Whose idea was it to let Xiao Chen replace Li Jia? You or that Xiao Chen?" Selinda's right hand stopped the healing magic and put it on the hilt of the sword.

"This kind of thing can only be negotiated if both parties are interested..."

"You've agreed to go behind my back?" Selinda raised her head slightly and looked at his father with a look of contempt on her face.

"That's right!" replied the count.

With a bang, Selinda pulled out her long sword, turned around and walked out.

The count was caught off guard. He followed and shouted, "Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"I don't like your deal. So I want to cancel it." Selinda replied coldly.

"Then what are you doing with a sword?"

"If Xiao Chen is killed, the deal will be cancelled."

The Earl didn't know where he got the strength, and he rushed in front of Selinda and blocked her with his hand. Selinda put the tip of the sword to his nose without showing any signs of weakness.

"Okay, okay. You win." The count said lazily, as if he hadn't seen the sword, "Okay, you have to know that negotiation is all kinds of temptations, and this is just one of the temptation methods. It's just that. Although we all think marriage is a good idea, Xiao Chen still thinks that Li Jia is more suitable. He also promised me that Li Jia will improve his strength in a short time and become worthy of you. However, I think this shrewd guy must have seen through your true nature. Under this beautiful appearance, there is a heart of a tyrannosaurus."

"Ouch!" When Selinda sheathed her sword, the earl screamed, and there was a shallow sword mark on the tip of his nose. As soon as he wiped his hand, blood seeped out, "My face!"

"Ha, I hurt my hand earlier, it was a mistake!" Selinda waved her hand and said, "However, multiple scars on your face will make you look more like a man."

The earl looked at her with a resentful expression, as if you thought I didn't know you hurt your left hand.

Selinda walked into the room by herself, slammed the door, and left no words.
