On the Seven Towers

Caterina and Ji Yijun were dotting Crete far away in the forest. One of them is good at hiding and tracking, his body is very light, and his movements are a bit cat-like; the other has a small degree of fighting spirit, can control muscles and movements accurately, and walks silently. At this time, the sky was already very dark, the red clouds had receded, and the starry sky was slowly revealed. Only the tops of the big trees were left with a bit of the golden color of the sunset. When looking at people in the forest, there was only a blurry shadow fifty meters away, so Neither of them attracted Crete's attention along the way.

Crete walked a little slowly, as if he was thinking about something. Without paying attention, he almost tripped over the branches on the ground several times. But he quickly stood up again, patted the dust on his clothes, and continued walking forward.

"He is going up the mountain. There is a hunter's rest stop in front of him. There should be no one at this time." Catalina whispered.

"It's not a good thing to hang out so late." Ji Yijun scratched his head and asked, "Is it possible that he is here for a date?"

"Do you think he will be like you? Crete has always been a very good boy."

"Hey, there's no need to run up the mountain in the dark when I'm going on a date."

Katarina ignored him and turned down a side road.

"There is a shortcut here, which is more difficult to walk, but you can pass him. Let's go to the rest stop first to see who is doing this." Catalina said as she began to climb the steep road. mountain road. After only a few steps, I encountered a situation where I had to use my hands and feet.

Ji Yijun climbed up behind Catalina. He found that this was not a difficult shortcut at all. It was simply rock climbing. Even though his skills were much better than before, he still felt a little scared. But Katarina was simply not afraid of death and threw herself against the stone wall without hesitation. However, her body was flexible and she was almost born for this kind of situation. Using her hands and feet, she quickly climbed up through the cracks and protruding rocks.

"Beauty, take it easy. Be careful not to fall." Ji Yijun tried his best, but was still being pulled further and further away.

"Don't call me beauty!"

"Then...sister! Wait for me."

"I'm going to investigate first. You crawl slowly." Catalina looked back at him and said. I don't know if it was intentional or not. She stepped too hard and several small gravels and dust fell down, knocking Ji Yijun. Turned into disgrace.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, Ji Yijun finally climbed up the hillside. Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly picked up his clothes and wiped his face, patted the dust off his head, and then grinned. His image and lazy temperament came back to life. .

He saw a small house in front of him, in the middle of a winding mountain road. The two of them had just avoided the mountain road and climbed a straight road directly from the hillside.

The surroundings were very quiet. In the darkness, he crept closer to the small house, leaning against the wall, ready to look in through the window. At this time, there was only a creaking sound, and the door was opened from the inside. He jumped back quickly, drew out his sword, and prepared to attack, when he saw Catalina pushing open the door and coming out of the house.

"Scared me." Ji Yijun held a sword in his arms and sheathed his sword.

Catalina frowned and said, "I looked and found nothing unusual. There was only some water and dry food in the house. Hunters came here a day or two ago. Maybe he didn't come to see anyone."

She looked at the dust on his face that had not been wiped clean, and said lightly: "I'm sorry."

"Hey, maybe no one has arrived." Ji Yijun was not going to mention what happened just now. He looked around and observed the surrounding terrain and said, "I can feel that you are very protective of him. I am anxious to see him. What is he going to do, while explaining why he is so important to you?"

"I owe him." Catalina stared at the mountain road below. Crete was like a black dot, slowly moving forward. "Everyone said that Crete's father saved Mr. Xiao Chen's life, but In fact, he saved my life that day. After all, I stood in front of Mr. Xiao Chen. This was a very poor child who spent his first half of his life as an actor and a slave. Just when he saw hope, his father died again. I have to look after him for his father and hope that he can live happily, that's all."

Ji Yijun was speechless. Catalina looked back at him and found that he looked a little serious and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said: "It seems that he lost a good father, but gained a good sister."

"I'm not a good sister." Catalina lowered her head and said, "I don't know how I can help him."

"I said you are, you are." Ji Yijun affirmed, "Now let's figure out the situation first." He looked around and saw several big trees beside the house, with dense canopies. , is a good hiding place. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the treetop and said: "I think the viewing angle there is good, we can watch a good show."

About half an hour later, Crete finally arrived in front of the hut. Like the two people who came first, he looked around for a while, then carefully approached the house and peeked inside. After walking around and finding no one, he sat on the steps at the door of the house.

"This is his first time here, and he is not familiar with the people he is meeting." Catalina said while squatting on a big tree branch.

"You have good observation skills." Ji Yijun sat next to her, leaning against the tree trunk, holding the back of his head with his hands, looking graceful.

"I am the best scout of the Blue Flame Mercenary Group." Catalina was still lurking motionless.

More than ten minutes later, a tall and thin man came from another forest path. The man seemed to be walking slowly, but he was actually moving very fast. He just appeared in the woods and arrived in front of the cabin in a short while. The man was holding an iron cage in his hand, and Ji Yijun couldn't see what was in it.

"It's a rabbit."

"Rabbit?"

"It's a rabbit, and it's alive. I don't know what he's going to do." Catalina asked puzzled.

"You can see so far?"

"As a scout, the God of Nature gave me a pair of good eyes."

"That's what your parents gave you." Ji Yijun said.

"No, I don't know who my parents are. They didn't raise me when I was a child, didn't save me when I was in dire straits, didn't teach me various survival skills, and didn't try every way to improve my abilities. All of this was given to me by Sister Kalanda."

"Okay, the two of them came together and started talking. Damn, I can't hear anything at all."

Caterina raised her hand to let Ji Yijun calm down, then stared at the other's lips seriously and said one sentence at a time:

"The man said: '...If you want power...it's simple, just give...a seed, you meditate on it every day...you can use its magical power'.

Crete asked: 'Will this seed conflict with...the power of Master Xiao Chen.'

The man said: 'Haha,...it's ridiculous...the seed comes from...a precious inheritance...and the power of the master...will not conflict.'

Crete asked: 'What is the use of this magic...like?'

The man was ready to show him..."

Sure enough, the man drew a circle on the ground with his bare hands, then chanted something, and the circle emitted a faint red light and appeared on the ground. He opened the cage and threw two rabbits into the circle. The two rabbits jumped around in the light circle, but they couldn't leave that place. As long as they touched the light circle, they would be blocked.

"Is it a magician? Is this a cage made of light?" Ji Yijun was surprised.

"I don't know either." Catalina stared at the red circle, but she didn't know much about magic and couldn't tell what kind of magic it was.

Crete below also felt it was amazing. He tried to touch the red light with his hand. There was no hindrance. His hand easily reached in and touched the rabbit's ear. He tried several times in a row and finally even lifted a rabbit out.

"Why would a magician suddenly appear in this place where no one is shitting? I think there must be something wrong." Ji Yijun pondered as he watched the performance below.

"Don't make a noise, they seem to be talking again."

"The magician said again: 'This is my... magic,... although it is not... powerful, but... it is also useful at certain times. You can... slowly master... there are more than a dozen different spells. As for Xiao Chen... don't worry, the more magicians... learn, the better.'

Crete nodded and said: 'Please teach me these.'

The magician said: 'Okay. You have to relax your mind... don't resist, don't be nervous,... fluctuations will lead to failure, which will hurt your mind, let me... plant seeds for you.'

Plant seeds? What's going on! We must stop them, what is this unknown person going to do?" Catalina was shocked and flew to pounce. But Ji Yijun grabbed her.

"What are you doing? I want to stop them."

"It's too late."

Caterina looked at it and saw a dark purple ball of light burst out from the magician's hand. He quickly pressed on Crete's head. The purple ball sank into the child's head.

She impatiently tried to break Ji Yijun's fingers.

The latter's hand was as still as steel. Ji Yijun shook his head slowly and said, "He said that emotional fluctuations may lead to failure. If you jump down now, they will definitely be caught off guard. It will be troublesome if you hurt Crete. And this man has spent so much time on these things, and he probably has some plan. If we show up now, it will alert the enemy."

Caterina was full of annoyance and glared at Ji Yijun fiercely. She had to continue to climb on the tree to observe.

The man pressed Crete's head for half an hour before he let go. During this process, Crete, who had closed his eyes like a puppet, slowly opened his eyes.

The man whispered a few words in his ear. Crete looked at the rabbit in the light circle, waved his hand, and a purple light flashed. The two rabbits, who were still full of energy, fell straight down.
