On the Seven Towers

Ji Yijun and Catalina waited for a long time, and the man and Crete finally finished the exercise. The two rabbits were tossed repeatedly by the strange red light, and they already lay motionless on the ground.

The man seemed quite satisfied. He patted Crete on the head and whispered a few more instructions, then turned around and walked towards the forest and left.

Crete bowed to his back, then followed his instructions and continued practicing. He stretched his hands upwards, chanting vague incantations, and a faint purple light emitted from his palms from time to time.

The man looked back at him, smiled and nodded. But when the man's back disappeared into the forest, Crete immediately stopped what he was doing, stared at the forest for a while, then turned and walked towards the mountain road.

"One person per person, I'll chase that man, and you go ask your good brother." Ji Yijun got off the tree and chased directly into the forest.

It was completely dark by this time, and everything in the forest was immersed in a cool blue tone. Ji Yijun ran dozens of meters and found the other party's footprints, so he followed them forward and chased after them.

After chasing for about ten minutes, Ji Yijun began to feel that something was wrong. He looked at the distant mountain peaks and found that the footprints actually formed an arc. He endured his doubts and continued to follow. When he ran out of the forest, he was shocked to find that A small wooden house is right in front of us, and the footprints end here.

Ji Yijun reluctantly searched the hillside where the cabin was located again. No one but two rabbits lying dead on the ground told him that this was where he had started.

He couldn't tell whether it was a pre-arranged deception or a strange magical effect, but there was no doubt that the man was very vigilant. This doesn't look like a script for a master to secretly pass on his skills after seeing a good talent.

He looked at the forest with some worry. Could that guy be hiding in the dark and watching us now? Could he have discovered that we were following him?

Ji Yijun did not stay long on the top of the mountain, but quickly chased down the mountain. After running for a long time, he found Catalina and Crete standing opposite each other in the mountain road.

At this time, Catalina was shouting to Crete: "...You must tell me who that person is!"

Crete put his hands in his pockets and bowed his head in silence.

"Listen to me, Crete. A good man would not bring you here so sneakily. You have met too few people. Some people seem to treat you well, but they have bad intentions. You, You can't just trust them." It sounds like this conversation has been going on for a while, and Catalina seems to be making little progress.

"I've seen quite a few, Sister Catalina." Critter raised his head, "I know very well who is good to me and who is not good to me. I have my own sense of proportion."

"Are you a kid telling me what to do? I've seen more bad guys than you've ever seen a living person!"

"You're not much older than me!"

"you!"

Ji Yijun couldn't stand it anymore. He walked up and asked, "If I remember correctly, Xiao Chen promised to accept you as his apprentice, right? Why are you so impatient?"

Crete looked at Ji Yijun and asked, "Are you Mr. Ji from the camp management office?"

Ji Yijun curled his lips and said, "Don't call me Sir, Mu Qi. If you respect me, you can call me Brother Ji."

"Master Ji, do my current actions violate camp regulations?"

Ji Yijun was stunned and replied: "No."

"Did you violate Master Xiao Chen's instructions?"

Ji Yijun frowned, "Not really."

"Then what's wrong with meeting a strange person and learning some small spells? According to the superficial knowledge I got from dramas and songs, many famous magicians in history have a lot of inheritance. Maybe Master Xiao Chen learned a lot from me. I will have a tolerant attitude if I find some other means.”

Ji Yijun's face turned dark, and he said to Catalina: "Your 'brother' is fine, he is a sharp-tongued person, but we are like dogs meddling in other people's business."

"Crete! Don't squander everyone's concern for you!" Catalina's anger has already appeared on her face. "Everything we do is to prevent you from taking the wrong path. Has anyone heard that just one day of practice will do the trick?" Release magic? Master Xiao Chen releases magic, how can there be such a strange purple light? There must be a big problem!"

"If there is a problem, I will ask you to help me." Crete said sincerely, "But there is really no need now, I am fine."

"We, we, care about you!"

"Thank you for your concern, but everything is really fine with me. Really, Sister Catalina." Crete sighed, "I'm very tired now. It is said that if you don't take a good rest after learning that kind of magic, it will hurt people." It will damage my future development potential. I think I have to go back to the castle to sleep first." With that said, Crete walked quickly down the mountain without waiting for the two to answer.

"You!" Catalina pointed at his back and stamped her foot angrily.

"We are the ones causing trouble for his practice. Has this guy always been like this? I really want to beat him up."

"No, I have never seen him, although I don't know him very well. Do you think he is controlled by an evil mage?"

"I don't think so." Ji Yijun spread his hands and said, "But after I thought about what you said, they were definitely taken from the 'One Hundred Things Parents Should Never Say'. I would be able to listen to it." "Run."

Catalina angrily stepped on Ji Yijun's instep a second time.

————————————————————————

Xiao Chen completed his morning meditation on a hillside outside the castle. On his way back to the castle, he met Ye Zi who had returned from martial arts practice. Ye Zi was wearing leather armor as usual and holding the silver-white spear. She wore a simple ponytail, her face was rosy and full of sweat.

Xiao Chen walked side by side with her and asked, "How are you doing? Are you still used to it these days?"

"Senior, it's okay!" Ye Zi nodded.

"Did you compete with Selinda again today?"

"Yes, she is a good opponent. I have never seen anyone who trains harder than her." Ye Zi said sincerely, "It's a pity. If she was more talented, she would definitely have great achievements. But even now , she is still a very good magic knight, very skilled."

Xiao Chen nodded. In this world, most of the people who become magic knights are those who cannot practice fighting spirit and can only learn superficial magic. Compared with fighting spirit warriors, magic knights lack absolute strength and explosive power. Compared with magicians, magic knights lack absolute strength and explosive power. Bima lacks truly powerful magic. Those who truly have potential in the two realms of magic and martial arts rarely choose this route. Of course, there are exceptions. I heard that the people in the Sword Tower back then were all magic swordsmen with extremely high levels of magic. However, this is not the focus of Xiao Chen's concern: "Having competed with her for so many days, what kind of person do you think Selinda is?"

"Well... you have to promise me not to tell Li Jia."

"My mouth is the tightest." Xiao Chen made a zipper movement around his mouth.

Ye Zi pondered for a while, "She is very strong. Although I admire her in martial arts, I don't like her. In other words, it's not that I hate her as a person, but I don't like her attitude towards others. "

"Is she not good to you?"

"That's not true. After I fought with her, she respected me a lot and told me a lot about her past. I think she wanted to be friends with me. But she treated other people in the castle like It's completely different. She yells at her maids and guards, and has no courtesy at all. As for the farmers around her, she looks and talks like nothing. A look of contempt."

"You don't like the attitude of the noble class towards civilians." Xiao Chen concluded.

"Hmm, I didn't expect real nobles to be so bad." Ye Zi said angrily, "When I saw those things in textbooks before, I thought they were too exaggerated. In our world, those European nobles looked like He looked polite and classy, ​​but the nobles here were so cruel. I saw that Pinto whip the farmer a few times. It seemed that he was so pitiful because he was careless. Broken the leg of the plow cow."

Xiao Chen smiled: "The production relations between ancient aristocrats and modern aristocrats and common people are different, and the attitudes are naturally different. But in essence, there is no difference. So when Pinto broke his nose a few days ago, it was you who did it Come out?"

Ye Zi stuck out his tongue, "I just threw a stone casually. Who told him to walk carelessly? Some people do things unethically, and it's not surprising to be punished by God. You're right, senior."

Xiao Chen smiled and said: "Take it easy, we don't know enough about this world. How do you know there isn't an old monster hiding in this castle, secretly seeing everything?"

"Huh? What did you find?" Ye Zi suddenly lowered his voice and his eyes widened.

"No. But judging from my experience in dealing with the Earl. The Earl is not the playboy rumored by the outside world. He is a person with ideas, but he just hides it under such a mask. Even Pinto, although he seems to be a fake and powerful person, what? Ye Huhu is in charge... But do you think a person with ideas and ambitions would use a bombastic loser as his assistant? We need to be more careful in every move, the water here is very deep. "

Ye Zi nodded blankly, "Then what are our plans next?"

"Negotiations are still going on, and contracts for products and business routes are constantly being finalized. Li Jia also needs a chance to prove himself and confirm the engagement. I am still looking for opportunities to go to other parts of the kingdom through the earl's channels. . The more we understand the world, the safer we will be.”

"Yeah." Ye Zi nodded in approval.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat together later. Alas, white bread, black bread, it's all bread."

"It's good to have bread to eat. Think about those poor farmers." Ye Zi said.

"I'm not satisfied. But a better breakfast is also the motivation for us to change the world." Xiao Chen stretched and said.

Ye Zi covered his mouth and laughed. They walked a few more steps, and she suddenly turned back and said, "Senior, there is one thing I still want to hear your opinion on."

"What's up?"

"About this gun, and my dream."
