On the Seven Towers

The surging white whip of light completely penetrated the Berserker's rock-like strong body and hit his soul directly - "mental whipping". When Xiao Chen used his own power to release this magic, the effect was much stronger than when Luo Ling used the ring to release it at that time. The only problem was that Xiao Chen had difficulty controlling the scale of the magic because of his unstable mental power.

Not only were there more of them, but the pain caused by each whip of light was also greatly increased. They bit at Byron's consciousness like a snake, unable to dodge or resist. Byron could no longer feel the pain of his body in the rage, but he could not escape the pain of his spirit. He screamed loudly, and this cry was completely different from the previous war cry. Instead, it sounded like a helpless child wailing.

He squatted on the ground with his head in his arms. Soon, even the squatting posture could not be supported. He began to roll on the ground, hammering his head with his fists, and finally couldn't help crying.

With just a stretch of his hand, he could make a giant man like a mountain cry like a child on the ground. This is the power of a magician. The people around looked at Xiao Chen with awe.

As he cried, the effect of the frenzy began to slowly dissipate, his bones and muscles began to return to normal, and he shrank a circle. His mind began to recover, his mental resistance slowly increased, and the effect of mental whipping gradually became smaller. Bailong supported himself on the ground with his hands and sat up. His face was still painful, but he had stopped crying. He stood up holding his head.

"Damn it, who is it, who is it, stop it, my head hurts." He could speak normally again.

Xiao Chen closed his open hands, and the white light whips spread out of Bailong's body like swimming fish, and then dissipated into the air.

Bailong saw that the pain in his head immediately dissipated as the magician moved. He looked at Xiao Chen with some horror and said, "You, it's you! Magician, what did you do to me?"

"Byron, you messed up our dinner. If it wasn't for Xiao Chen who stopped you in time, you would have caused me more trouble." The count said, "Okay. Batis, take this poor guy and the unlucky guys who fell to the ground to heal their wounds."

"Am I, am I going berserk?" Bailong looked at his body, and sure enough, his leather armor showed signs of cracking.

The count waved his hand, not wanting to talk nonsense with him anymore. He pulled Xiao Chen and said, "Maybe we should go to the side hall for some snacks. Let's talk about something."

——————————————————————

"Miss, Miss. Bailong is actually going berserk." Nina hurried into Xiao Chen's room and saw the magic circle flashing on the ground, and Katarina was still unlocking it on the side.

"I saw from the window that he was driven mad by his opponent, and then Lord Batis and several knights could not subdue him, but in the end the magician beat him to tears with one move."

"I said, don't bother me." When the unlocking was about to be completed, she was interrupted by the maid, and Serinda said unhappily.

"But, but the competition and the dinner can't go on, I'm afraid they will go back to the room." Nina said, "Can't we just split it with a sword? We, we can put the blame on the thieves."

"Xiao Chen and Li Jia are not as stupid as you. What I want is to complete this task without them knowing. Otherwise, why would I spend so much effort?" Serinda turned the last lock plate, and with a click, the lock opened.

The two looked at each other, and Serinda carefully opened the suitcase. On the top were several sets of clothes, and there were many gift boxes below, which seemed to be gifts for gifts. Under the gifts, there was a bag containing several scrolls and several stacks of white paper. Serinda was not interested in any of these. She flipped through them one by one, and finally saw a big book with red leather cover and metal edging.

"The Sea of ​​​​Consciousness Shadow Scroll." Serinda was a little confused, but also a little excited and took out the book.

"Miss, is this what you are looking for?" Nina asked.

"It should be. I have some impression of this name. I seem to have heard it somewhere." Serinda put the book on the ground and said uncertainly, "Wait, it seems that I heard it somewhere when I was studying magic in the Mage Tower in the Royal Capital."

"Is it the legend of an ancient magician?" Nina said.

"Ancient magician, ah! That's right! The Seven Holy Towers, this is one of the three holy books of the Dream Tower in the Seven Holy Towers! Yes, it is this "The Sea of ​​​​Consciousness Shadow Scroll"! Serinda hugged Nina and kissed her hard on the face. She was so excited that she trembled slightly, "Any holy book has unimaginable magical power. No wonder they can all grow so fast! Dream Tower, Dream Tower, Dream Tower, one of the seven towers."

"Really?" Nina also became excited.

"Quick! Prepare the paper and pen in my bag, you and me will copy together, we have to copy down everything in this book!" Serinda ordered.

The two prepared the paper, Serinda took out two ballpoint pens that Li Jia gave her, and carefully opened the cover of "The Shadow of the Sea of ​​Consciousness".

I am an apprentice of the Dream Tower, and I can only read this book when my mental power reaches the state of concentration.

The Dream Tower, it is really the Dream Tower!

Selinda was in ecstasy. As for the warning on the cover page, she didn't care at all. She had crossed the threshold of the initial formation of spiritual consciousness when she was in her teens, and had reached the level of spiritual consciousness and objects two years ago. However, her total spiritual power was small and the quality was not high, so she was always unable to do intermediate and advanced magic. Every time she heard Li Jia describe to her the feeling of the vast spiritual power, she could not suppress her envy.

And a few days ago, Li Jia actually admitted that there was a treasure book to improve spiritual power. At that time, Serinda had only one idea in her mind, and she must get it at any cost! What don't be impatient, what talk about after marriage, these things can't convince Serinda's impulse at all. She has been waiting for many years, waiting for the opportunity to become stronger, and she can't wait any longer.

"Listen, you can only copy down the words one by one for a while, and don't think about the meaning inside. Some powerful magic documents will cause great pressure on the mind as long as you think about them. You must empty your mind and just make records. Do you understand?" Serinda said to Nina.

"Yeah." Nina nodded nervously, holding the pen very tightly.

With trembling fingers, Serinda picked up the title page and slowly turned it over. A strong colorful light suddenly burst out from the page, covering the faces of the two people who were huddled in front of the book...

Xiao Chen and others had some supper with the count, and chatted for a while before saying goodbye and leaving the side hall.

At this time, Pinto and an old man in a black robe walked into the room from the side door. The old man's hair and beard were gray, and he looked at least sixty years old. He was thin and looked like an empty clothes rack. But he didn't look old at all, and there was a sense of momentum between his eyebrows. As soon as he entered the room, the count immediately stood up to greet him, holding a chair in his hand and asking him to sit down.

Merino Banderas, the great magician, the count's magic advisor, and also the count's father's magic advisor.

"Uncle Banderas, did you see anything from Xiao Chen's move?" the count asked.

"Little Pani. I originally thought that you were wasting my time by asking me to come here to observe these little guys. However, I still found some very interesting things from his actions." Master Banderas said. Pani is the nickname of Count Carlos. To the old wizard, he is just a junior.

"Have you figured out his origin?"

"'Spirit Whiplash' is a very powerful and ancient spiritual magic that has been lost for a long time. If I hadn't seen a little bit of it in the pile of old papers, I wouldn't have recognized this magic. If I remember correctly, the one who is best at this magic is Antonio Gregorio, the holy magician of the Dream Tower."

"Dream Tower, you mean that Dream Tower?"

"Yes. There is only one Dream Tower."

"This is very unusual for you, so are you ready to contact him?"

The old wizard shook his head and said, "The time is not right, and I'd better try not to show my old bones everywhere. But I can tell you that this Xiao Chen is a person with great potential. When he was so young, I didn't have such power. How to treat him, you make a good choice."

——————————————————————

Xiao Chen and Li Jia walked in the corridor of the guest room area. Xiao Chen cast a spell to knock down a berserker today, and he was in a good mood. He put his hands behind his back and hummed a tune briskly, but Li Jia seemed to be thinking about something.

"Today, the Earl asked you to take action, or was he testing you?" Li Jia asked, "Did he arrange the scene where the Berserker named Byron came to provoke us and then went crazy?"

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Chen shrugged and said, "Just remember that he has been looking for any opportunity to spy on our strength. Any opportunity that can let me show my strength, I guess he will not let go. Today's battle may just be a coincidence. However, it is understandable. I feel that he wants to bet heavily on our cooperation."

"However, their foundation is really strong. Anyone they pull out is so powerful. I really can't imagine what will happen if we fight them right away!"

"Relax a little, we will always get stronger little by little. Time is on our side, knowledge is on our side, and even luck is on our side. We are like pastry chefs making steamed buns. We mix flour and add yeast. We just need to knead the dough patiently and let them slowly ferment to produce qualitative changes." Xiao Chen patted Li Jia's shoulder.

"You are much better than me in optimism."

"Ha, this is not optimism, but self-confidence that is taken for granted." Xiao Chen patted his chest, "We are modern people, relax."

Xiao Chen's room was closer to the front. When the two walked to the door of his room, they were surprised to find that the door was open a crack.

"You didn't lock it..." Li Jia just opened his mouth and was stopped by Xiao Chen.

"Be prepared for battle." Xiao Chen made a mouth shape and said silently.

Li Jia quickly prepared a wind blade spell at the door.

Xiao Chen gently waved one hand, prepared a starting posture for casting, and then slowly approached the door and slowly pushed the door open with the other hand.

No movement.

Pushing it a little further, the scene inside surprised the two. A ball of colorful light that he was very familiar with shone from the big book on the ground, and two women were lying motionless beside it.
