On the Seven Towers

The canteen of the office is located in the restaurant of the original house. It was breakfast time. A large pot was placed on the table with freshly cooked wheat porridge in it. There were three basins on the table filled with steamed corn cobs, bread, and steamed bread.

Li Jia, Tang Feng, and seven or eight other people from the business group and intelligence group were sitting around a long table having breakfast. Ye Zizai was sitting on the window sill, flipping through a book and nibbling steamed buns. Li Tianrui, Roger and other guards were using corn cobs as troops to simulate a classic battle that Roger had participated in.

A yellow native dog lay lazily on the ground, eating corn kernels from the basin one bite at a time. Its eating movements were awkward, with strange angles and slow rhythm. It was shaking and dazed from time to time, like a zombie dog. A simple meal, but corn kernels were scattered all over the floor. This unusual dog is the book spirit of "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of ​​Knowledge", and now he has a new name, Wangcai. Wangcai lost his patience at the end of the meal. He put his front legs on the ground, opened his mouth, and stared at the corn in the pot with his dog eyes. After a while, the corn kernels began to float slowly and lined up. One by one they floated towards its mouth. This is clearly the state of spiritual thoughts reaching things.

"Wangcai, it seems that the title of the first mage dog in the world cannot escape you." Xiao Chen squatted next to Wangcai with interest.

As soon as he interrupted, Wangcai naturally looked at him, and his mental energy came out of the basket, and the corns in the air fell one after another and scattered all over the ground.

"Woof woof!" Wang Cai roared angrily at Xiao Chen several times, then whined and waggled his tail and ran towards Tang Feng. Tang Feng and Li Tianrui had no grudge against it here. They would tease it when they were in a good mood. Have fun.

"I look forward to the day when you open your mouth to recite the spell." Xiao Chen said. He greeted everyone and came to the table, but there was no sign of the gingerbread.

"Wait a minute," Caterina whispered, then took out a silver plate covered with white cloth from the sideboard. She lifted the white cloth, revealing a plate full of gingerbread underneath.

"Hey, what is this?" Li Tianrui came over and smelled a sweet smell, "Katerina, why did you hide the good stuff and not let us eat it?"

"If I had taken out these gingerbread cookies in advance, you greedy people would have eaten them all. How can people who get up late eat them?" She glanced at Xiao Chen and said.

"I don't think I got up early and got up late, but I was afraid that Xiao Chen wouldn't be able to eat. This is too biased." Li Tianrui said.

"I want you to take care of it!" Catalina's hands were like lightning, and she instantly snatched away the gingerbread that Li Tianrui was holding, stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely, "Go, go, eat your bread."

"Wow, if you feed all these gingerbread cookies to Xiao Chen, he won't be able to eat them." Li Tianrui shouted.

"I only feed it to quiet people." Catalina threw a gingerbread to Ye Zi on the windowsill, who took it with a smile.

Li Jia and Roger also came over and took one, but when Li Tianrui reached out again, Catalina beat him back.

Catalina's gingerbread is very unique. It is not a villain or an animal, but a sunflower. There are also smiling faces painted on the hearts of the sunflowers. Just like a child's doodles.

Xiao Chen picked one up from the dining table and put it in his mouth. It tasted pretty good. He asked, "Is there any special meaning in turning gingerbread into sunflowers?"

"Sunflower??" Catalina was stunned.

"Isn't it?" Li Jiaqi said, "No matter how you look at it, they are all sunflowers. Here are the flowers, here are the stems, and here are the branches and leaves."

"But that's a cat! Look, here is its head, surrounded by pointed whiskers, here is the tail, and here are the limbs!" Catalina blushed and argued seriously.

Several people around him laughed secretly. Li Tianrui even laughed out loud. But immediately a piece of gingerbread mixed with fighting spirit hit his head, causing him to scream out in pain.

"Ahem, I can tell. It must be a cat!" Li Jia immediately declared seriously.

"Well, although it's a bit abstract, I can tell it's a cat. It's still a bit cute." Xiao Chen said while holding back his smile.

"Well, Catalina is not like you who have taken art classes and watched cartoons. There are not ten but eight cartoon cat images in your memory. I think her original ones are already very good." Ye Zi held the ginger in his hand. Pancake said, "Although, I look like a lame little lion no matter how you look at it."

When everyone thought about it, it was the same reason. The gap between people in the two worlds was really reflected in every detail.

"What is anime?" Katarina didn't care about others laughing at her and quickly changed her attention.

"This is a good thing, but it doesn't exist in this world." Li Jia said.

Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe it will happen in the future?"

————————————————————————

Before Xiao Chen left the office and went to the Royal Magic Tower, everyone came to see him off.

Although the Royal Magic Tower is not a dragon pit and a tiger's den, and Xiao Chen has already been there once, this evaluation is a challenge for Xiao Chen.

Master Banderas has already reminded them that the Magicians Association will give participants corresponding rights based on their assessed performance. Similarly, to the king, the mage's ability also represents his value, and the magical titles and fiefs awarded to the mage will also be different.

Xiao Chen stepped onto a black carriage, and Catalina followed him into the carriage. Roger's adjutant, Jacob, put on a coachman's outfit and got into the driver's seat, with Roger beside him.

Xiao Chen leaned out of the car window and found Li Jia there, hesitating to speak, so he said: "Do you want me to check on Serinda's situation?"

Li Jia was a little embarrassed: "Yes. She has been in the Spirit Refining Tower for a week. I haven't heard from her these days. If you have a chance, please ask her about her situation for me."

"Don't you have a spiritual resonance with her?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Our resonance can only feel some simple emotions and thoughts." Li Jia showed a trace of distress, "I can feel that she is in a bad mood these days, and I have tried every means to convey the emotion of persuasion. But I don't understand why she is unhappy. This feeling is very bad, so I have to rely on you."

"Maybe it's just that the progress of the treatment is not satisfactory. You know how impatient she is. She originally studied magic in the Royal Magic Tower. Going back there is like returning home. Don't worry about it."

"Care makes you confused." Ye Zi said on the side, "Senior's attitude towards Serinda is really nothing to say."

"He, after all, is still alone in an empty room, lonely." Li Tianrui said.

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Jia punched Li Tianrui, and the punch was soft and weak, very much like a wizard.

"Okay. I reported that I practiced spiritual magic, and I guess the magician who came to evaluate me should be the magician of the Spirit Refining Tower. I will ask for you. However, don't think about Serinda every day. You are already close to the bottleneck of divine thoughts and objects. We are still waiting for you to be promoted to a mid-level wizard." Xiao Chen said, "At present, the king's capital relies on the two of us to hold the scene. You have to work hard."

"I know, I know. But if Serinda hadn't helped me clear the distracting thoughts in my heart, I wouldn't have reached the current level so quickly."

"Then I'm leaving, remember to keep an eye on the dog!"
