On the Seven Towers

Li Jia was in the dim underground palace of his meditation world, nervously watching a dark door slowly open in front of him. The book spirit in the shape of Serinda stood behind him in a dress, just like last time.

"From here, you can lead to Serinda's meditation world?" Li Jia asked.

"Yes. With the help of one me, to save another me. Isn't it a bit strange?" The book spirit asked with a smile.

"Uh..." Li Jia looked back at the book spirit and saw that she was healthy and well, and looked very homely. Thinking of the real Serinda's life and death, he sighed and said, "But you are not her."

"Are you saying that I am not as good as her?" The book spirit lifted her hair and her slender fingers passed across her face.

"No, no!" Li Jia waved her hand and said, "You look as perfect as her, but, but your inner self is different."

"If, at the beginning, it was the existence of 'I' who appeared in front of you, would you fall in love with me?" The book spirit put her hand on the clavicle. Although it was a simple action, it still made Li Jia's face slightly hot with the slender figure.

"This kind of joke is... very boring. I'm going to save her." Li Jia turned his head away and said.

Shu Ling chuckled, moved behind Li Jia, and whispered in his ear: "Look, you can't even say no, your thoughts are just like written on a blank piece of paper."

"I'm leaving!" Li Jia took a step forward and was about to step into the door.

"Wait a minute, this is for you." A black stone appeared in Shu Ling's hand. Li Jia took it and saw that it was a stone taken from the tunnel in his meditation world. "What is this?"

"If you are in her world and the situation is critical, but you don't have enough power, crush it. I will use a secret method to connect it with your subconscious mind and mobilize the power of this world. But don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary, remember!"

"What will happen if you use it?"

"You will be weak, unconscious, and maybe even seriously ill."

"Just that? Thank you!" Li Jia stared at Shu Ling for a few seconds, put the stone in his pocket, nodded to Shu Ling, and stepped into the door.

"Humans are indeed animals that can be deceived by appearances. As long as they are gently touched, their hearts will be confused..." The book spirit sighed and disappeared from the spot.

"Are you telling the truth?" Nina curled up in Xiao Chen's palm and looked at him pitifully.

"Why should I lie to you?" Xiao Chen used his other hand to make a scissors shape and gestured in front of Nina, "If I want to harm you, can you resist? Hmm?" He opened and closed his fingers, as if he wanted to cut her in half.

Nina shook her head palely, watching in fear as two fingers thicker than beams swayed above her head, ready to flatten her like a stink bug at any time. Xiao Chen teased her for a while, and then withdrew his fingers after thinking that he had taught this reckless woman a lesson.

"You, can you put me down first?" Nina asked in a low voice with her head down.

"No." Xiao Chen said seriously, "You are too young, and my eyesight is not good. What if I put both your legs on your buttocks? Stay still."

"But..." Nina wanted to argue, but suddenly felt weak, and her body, which had finally supported itself, fell down again.

"Do you feel very tired and have no strength? Your consciousness has not been repaired yet, and your thinking ability is limited. You will not be able to bear it if you think too much."

The previous conversation seemed to have consumed too much of Nina's energy, and now she had no energy to say more.

"Let's continue. Let go of your consciousness and don't resist my power." Xiao Chen said, concentrating again to repair Nina's body.

With Nina's cooperation, Xiao Chen felt much more relaxed, and her body no longer rejected Xiao Chen's mental power. However, during this repair while Nina remained awake, Xiao Chen found that some fragmented images began to be fed back to his consciousness.

This is Nina's memory. Although most of it is incomprehensible and disorganized, Xiao Chen still saw a lot of interesting things in it.

Finally, the thumb man's body was completely restored. At this time, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and wiped the ground. A stone platform appeared on the grass and Nina was placed on it. For Xiao Chen, this was a platform that could just stand up, but for Nina, it was just a small square.

"Sorry, everything in this world is shaped according to my wishes. For you, they are a little bigger." Xiao Chen gestured on the stone platform for a few times, and a Chinese-style "miniature" octagonal pavilion appeared on the stone platform. The pavilion was just a frame built with a few beams and pillars at first, but as Xiao Chen looked at it intently, flying eaves, brackets, wooden walls and window panes began to appear one by one, and then a stream flowed around the pavilion, forming a small pool on one side of the pavilion, and trees of different heights rose up around the pavilion. Finally, a stone bridge crossed the stream like a rainbow, and then extended a stone road all the way to Nina's feet.

Xiao Chen looked at this tiny garden and was very satisfied with his methods. In the long-term struggle with his violent mental power, his mental control was far superior to that of ordinary mages, and his unstable spellcasting problem was also gradually improved in the process. And this time, he seemed to have made progress again. The pavilions and waterside pavilions were completed in one go, and all the details were lifelike. Here he was almost omnipotent, making him feel like the creator.

"This...is this your power?" Nina approached the pavilion. It was dark brown and had eight pillars. The wall between the pillars was full of openable windows. She lightly touched the pillars and The windows are complicated, but I dare not go inside.

"It's just a place to rest. I can already feel the water vapor accumulating above. It's going to rain in your world." As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, drizzle began to fall from the sky. To Xiao Chen, it was Feifei's rain, but to Nina, it was raindrops as big as soybeans. She looked up at the sky. The blue sky just now was covered by dark clouds, so she quickly opened the door and entered the pavilion.

The space inside the pavilion is quite large. For a thumb like her, it will be very spacious for ten more people. There is a round table in the middle of the pavilion and several round stools around it. Nina has never seen such furniture before. She raised her head and walked around. At first glance, she saw a piece of wood hanging on the lintel, with four magic words on it that she couldn't quite identify.

"It says 'Linglong Water Pavilion'." Xiao Chen squatted down so that he could see the little man in the pavilion. He read out the name of the pavilion in Chinese, "This is a pavilion near my hometown. I went there several times when I was a child. Now that I think about it, the scene at that time has become a bit faded, but I still remember this pavilion quite clearly. It should have an eight-dimensional image. "

"Your hometown must be somewhere far, far away. There is no such house even in the empire."

"I saw a little bit of your memory. You seem to have a deep impression of the empire in the north." Xiao Chen said.

Nina looked at him in shock, no matter who had their memories read, they would not feel at ease.

"Don't worry, it's just some scattered scenes that let me know that you were an imperialist when you were a child." Xiao Chen said, "But don't be nervous, some of my friends are also from the north, and I believe the count is also aware of this."

"Yes. My father is a knight from the empire." Nina admitted, holding on to the stone table, "I only know that he joined the Earl a long time ago. As for why he left the empire, he never told me But it’s not uncommon for knights and nobles to come and go, right? But after he arrived here, he became very cautious, maybe to consolidate his position. I, a little girl from the north, She became Miss Selinda’s maid.”

"You don't seem to like your mistress very much?" Xiao Chen asked,

"Where? No. Absolutely not!" Nina looked nervous and firmly denied.

"At least you haven't asked how Selinda is doing until now."

"Oh." Nina was stunned, "Sorry, I... I still have a headache. But I am loyal to Miss Selinda."

"I originally saw that you were often in couples, and I thought you got along like sisters." Xiao Chen said, "You look more like a knight who is loyal to his duty now, rather than a friendly friend."

"A maid is a maid. I have never expected anything extravagantly. I will do whatever she says. After the young lady marries a big shot, I will also marry a knight. We are people on two different threads, and we occasionally cross paths. Soon, they will be separated again... This is my destiny."

"But this fate almost ended here, don't you feel scared?" Xiao Chen looked up at the sky, and the rain became more intense.

"If the gods of nature weave my destiny this way, then I have nothing to say."

"It's really your fate that lies in other people's hands."

"You are a noble mage, possessing..." She looked at the real-life scenery around her with fear, "possessing unparalleled power. Please don't force me any more. I'm not even a noble, and I'm not worthy of you. Come and find out.”

Xiao Chen shrugged and said: "I don't need to do this. I have never had any intentions towards Selinda or you. It's you who are constantly testing my bottom line. I saved you, but not I forgive you, but the matter of spying on a mage's inheritance will not be written off."

Nina lowered her head, not daring to look into Xiao Chen's huge eyes.

"Okay, at least from the fragments of your memory, I saw one thing that makes me happy. Selinda has Li Jia in her heart, and that's enough. At least it doesn't make Li Jia look like an idiot." Xiao Chen He paused here and said in a colder voice, "But if you don't want the situation to get worse, you'd better learn to put away your claws in the future and don't play such sneaky tricks. We have an old saying there, 'Those who play with fire' You will burn yourself'.
