On the Seven Towers

It was also a ward, but Selinda's room in the Earl's villa was much darker and colder than Luo Ling's. So much so that Nina had to raise the fireplace to make the lady feel better.

Selinda was wrapped in a thick blanket and curled up on the bed, her face pale and lifeless.

Nina served a potion prepared by Master Banderas. It was a pottery bowl filled with blue soup, with bubbles popping out from time to time, which looked quite scary.

"Miss, it's time to take your medicine." Nina said softly.

"Take it away, this medicine is completely useless." Selinda said.

"But Master Banderas said that this repair agent is the best potion he can prepare. Would you like to take a bite?" Nina scooped up some soup with a spoon and handed it to Selinda's mouth.

"Take it away, I said take it away!" Selinda yelled.

Nina moved a little slower, the plate in her hand was overturned, and the whole bowl of medicine fell to the ground. Nina felt very distressed. It took ten golden axes to prepare a bowl of medicine. Even ordinary people, after drinking this, their mental ability will be significantly improved. For mages and magic knights with damaged mental power, this is a rare medicine.

However, after several days of drinking, Selinda's injuries showed no improvement, and she was still a useless person who couldn't use any magic. So her mood was always in a state of mania. At this time, only Li Jia can often calm her down.

Nina packed up the broken bowls on the floor and exited the room, preparing to call Li Jia to come over and comfort her. Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out, I bumped into an unexpected person.

"Master Xiao." She saluted Xiao Chen nervously. In the world of meditation, the impression he left on her was too deep and indelible.

"Miss is in a bad mood now," Nina whispered.

"Do I need to care about this?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile. He knocked on the door and heard no response, so he opened the door and walked into the room.

Selinda was sulking, but when she saw Xiao Chen coming in, she looked a little nervous. After secretly watching "Shadow of the Sea of ​​Knowledge", Xiao Chen has not yet met her alone. At this moment, she felt the natural vulnerability of a thief facing the owner. What's more, Xiao Chen is no longer what he used to be. Saving her and Nina has greatly improved his level. The late-stage strength of an intermediate mage will undoubtedly put great pressure on magic knights like her. The anger in her heart was suppressed.

Xiao Chen walked to Selinda's hospital bed, hooked his fingers lightly, and a chair was pulled in front of him. This was the ability of telepathy to reach an advanced stage. Before Selinda was mentally damaged, she could also use her mental power to move objects, but what she could move was a needle, while what Xiao Chen moved was a large and heavy chair. Selinda understood that even if she was not injured, this was a gap that she would never be able to catch up with in her lifetime.

"We should have talked alone a long time ago." Xiao Chen sat on the chair, crossed his hands in front of him, and looked at Selinda with a cold look.

"If I hadn't been in a coma for more than a week and haven't recovered yet, I should have come to see you." Selinda's voice was very soft at this time, like a cat meowing, completely without the strength of the past.

"It's not too late." Xiao Chen could feel her weakness. He had complicated feelings about this woman. Maybe it was a matter of vision and experience. She gave him the feeling that she was stupid and cunning. Such people are often the source of trouble. source. However, Li Jia had a soft spot for her, and she did risk her life for Li Jia in the battle for Li Jia's consciousness. This moved Li Jia so much that she consciously found true love.

"So, what do you want to say? If that's the case, the family has already given you considerable compensation. Whether it's the concession of business terms, compensation for your gold coins and raw materials, or the family's collection of books for free. Open, both Count and Master Banderas sincerely brought out the best," Selinda said.

"I admit this. But the damage to the "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of ​​​​Consciousness" cannot be repaired by anything. You have opened it yourself and felt the power. You also understand how much a meditation space means to a magician. What's more, this is the inheritance of the ancient Seven Holy Towers. Think about it, what will happen if someone destroys Master Icasa's "Wordless File"? Is it just compensation, or is it a war? "Xiao Chen The sharp eyes made Selinda look away, "Besides, these compensations were paid by your father and Master Banderas. As the initiator of all this, what do you think? What I care about is yours. Attitudes and Choices.”

"You... are right." Selinda lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She was wearing silk pajamas. The pajamas were very thin, and her beautiful figure was looming under the pajamas. Her red hair hung loosely on her shoulders. The coma in the past few days had made her thinner and paler, giving her a more morbid beauty. She walked up to Xiao Chen and knelt down slowly, "I apologize to you. I hope Ning can forgive me for my recklessness and selfishness."

However, just when her knees were about to touch the ground, an invisible force resisted her.

"Get up, I don't need such an apology, I would rather see changes in the future." Xiao Chen frowned slightly, waved his hand gently, and a fine linen shawl at the foot of the bed flew up and covered Selinda. . He said: "Where we are, your kneeling is very inappropriate. If you kneel to me here today, how will I face Li Jia? This is called 'trapping me into injustice'. If you really want to fight with him Together, you have a lot to learn.”

"If you didn't just open the door and come in, you would really be a gentleman." Selinda put her shawl on her body and stood up slowly, "But I just hope you can see my sincerity. But if you come here today, I’m really at a loss. I don’t know how to satisfy you. However, we have different customs and ideas. Maybe mutual understanding is the best option.”

"Human beings, regardless of the human civilization in that world, are evolving slowly. We also have an era when we were shameless and shameless, but that is already in the past." Since this woman always wants to have the upper hand in words, Xiao Chen is not polite. "This world, except for magic, is a world in the past for us. There is no reason to go backwards, so if you really want to be with Li Jia, you'd better take a few steps forward along our path." . Of course, I don’t insist on this. It would be a worry-free thing for me if you stay at the original point and no longer get close to him.”

"Li Jia... and I are already together. We will be together forever and cannot be separated." Selinda showed a smile.

together? Li Jia moved quickly enough. Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Nothing is permanent in the world."

"You don't understand. When I helped him wake up, our souls merged and fought together. Now, we have a resonance. We can feel each other's presence anytime and anywhere, and can even convey various emotions and emotions to each other. Meaning. This ability is getting stronger and stronger. One day, I can talk to his soul directly. Do you think we can still be separated in this situation?

It turns out they are not that kind of together. As for the resonance ability, Xiao Chen was a little surprised, but he was relieved immediately. Isn't this just the soul version of QQ? It doesn't even have a QQ show, so it's just a piece of cake. He laughed and said, "Believe me, I have a lot of experience in this area. This kind of contact ability cannot be a guarantee of relationships."

Seeing Selinda looking at him doubtfully, Xiao Chen continued: "In my opinion, the prerequisite for two people to be together is similar values ​​​​and common interests. Li Jia loves you very much. Do you love Li Jia? I have no idea.

But no matter what your answer is, you have only two choices: either leave completely and let Li Jia give up; or learn to integrate with us and learn to consider issues from our interests.

Stop doing things that talk to yourself and harm our interests. Don't force Li Jia into a dilemma where he can't make a choice. As his best friend, I would never allow this to happen. "

A trace of anger flashed in Selinda's eyes: "But you are forcing me into a dilemma. You have even foreseen future conflicts!"

"Because I am Li Jia's brother, not yours." Xiao Chen smiled, "That's why I hope that you, not only you, but also the Arias family, will integrate into us. Otherwise, what will the future be like? , it’s hard to say.”

"How many of you are there, why don't you integrate into our world?" Selinda asked, "There is a very good phrase in the story I heard from Li Jia called 'When in the country, do as the Romans do', doesn't it just apply to you?"

"Because this world will change because of our arrival." When Xiao Chen said this, he was very calm, as if he was saying that tomorrow is Sunday. But these words caused huge waves in Selinda's heart. She clearly felt his seriousness, his confidence, and his unquestionability.

"Why would you say such things to me? Aren't you worried about cooperating with the Arias family?" She hesitated slightly.

"If cooperation is so fragile, what's the point?" Xiao Chen stood up, looked at Selinda and said, "I say this to you because you may become my brother's wife."

Perhaps this sentence really touched Selinda. She lowered her head slightly and said, "You are so confident."

"Because we have real power." Xiao Chen stretched out a hand, and a light spot appeared out of thin air in his hand. "This is magic, but it is not real power."

He flicked his fingers, and the light ball flew into the air. He stretched out his hand, and countless light points flew out from his fingertips. These light spots suspended in the air, like brilliant stars, illuminated the entire room brightly. Some light spots also floated to Selinda's side. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and held it under a light spot. Guided by her remaining mental power, the light spot slowly came to her.

"That's the real power."

Selinda looked at the room full of stars with some confusion. She didn't understand what the so-called real power was. However, when she thought of these people's workshops and factories, these people's armies and organizations, she thought of the stacks of books in the library, she thought of those unheard-of ideas and books. A sudden realization dawned on her. Then a look of horror took over her face. She held the light ball tightly in her hand, "You want to use your set of things to make magic, let magic..."

"Yes, I want to make magic something that everyone can have." Xiao Chen nodded, "After all, magicians in this world are too lonely."
