On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen got up from the bed and was about to wash and dress when he saw Li Jia holding a book and mumbling something on the balcony. He listened carefully and found that the guy was actually reciting Spanish words.

Xiao Chen tiptoed towards Li Jia, quietly went behind him, and suddenly put his hands on his shoulders. Li Jia was startled, and the Spanish textbook flew out of his hand and was about to fall off the balcony. Xiao Chen was quick-witted and grabbed the book back. He smiled and rolled his eyes, and sighed: "Oh, are you going to change your job and become a top student?"

Li Jia grabbed the book, closed it and shouted, "Why are you so surprised? Isn't this what I need to do business with the locals?"

"Well, business, do it! Girls, pick them up! I'm optimistic about you." Xiao Chen looked serious, patted Li Jia encouragingly, and went into the house to wash his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Who wants to pick up girls?" Li Jia argued anxiously.

The tap water had long been gone, and the water in the house had to be carried in from outside, so Xiao Chen just wiped his face with a dry and stiff towel, and then began to put on his clothes. He said slowly while putting on his pants: "Your little tricks, can you still hide them from me? One moment it's Te quiero, the next moment Tu eres hermosa, and these are the same courteous words over and over again. Are you going to say this to the vegetable seller?"

"This, this is what is written in the textbook." Li Jia said embarrassedly.

"Don't pretend, you can find a girl, I can't wait to be happy, it's simply a great event that has never happened before." Xiao Chen knew that Li Jia had no experience in this area and was very thin-skinned, so he didn't argue with him.

Li Jia walked into the room, wanting to say something, but hesitant. He held onto the door frame and watched Xiao Chen moving back and forth in the room, preparing to go out. Finally, he uttered, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Chen rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I'm leading the team to explore the underground palace today. But that's not the point. The point is what do you want to say? If you have anything to say, say it quickly. You look like you're almost dying of holding it in."

"You said that if I love someone, I should do my best to protect her, right?" Li Jia sat down at the desk, staring at a mirror on the table, and asked softly.

When Xiao Chen heard this, the gossip fire in his chest began to burn. He quickly put down the bag he had already carried, dragged a chair and sat in front of him, looking at him seriously and asked: "Why, what? You really like the local girl?"

Li Jia didn't dare to look at Xiao Chen, glanced at the window and denied it flatly, "How is it possible? You have seen the natives who come to trade before, all of them are uncles and aunts. What common language can I talk about with them... I just think that I am old, and I traveled here alone. Maybe I should find a girlfriend and have someone to rely on."

Xiao Chen patted Li Jia's shoulder again and said, "Even if she is a local, it doesn't matter, as long as you remember that all of us are a collective, don't make a fool of yourself."

"Don't talk about these illusory things of mine. How have you been getting along with Luo Ling these two days? I feel that she is a very gentle person."

"Luo Ling is gentle? Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Chen laughed.

——————————————————————————

"I'll say it again, listen to Dr. Feng! If you run around again, I won't care about you anymore!" Luo Ling said to the tall man in front of her with a stern face, almost pulling his ears with her hands.

Although Liu Yisheng was a head taller than Luo Ling, he could only pretend to bow his head and admit his mistakes in front of the furious Luo Ling, and stammered: "But I'm not sick."

"He really doesn't have any disease, even if he does, it's not something we can detect with the equipment we have now." Feng Yao walked out from behind Luo Ling. She looked very haggard, her hair was a little messy, and her face was pale. The rescue work in the past few days really exhausted her.

"But his memory has not recovered, and he has made a lot of jokes in the past two days." Luo Ling said with some concern.

"I think the problem is still the first blow that caused his amnesia. You are a busy man, so leave him here. Let me observe him while you can help me do some simple work."

"Please, Dr. Feng. I hope he can wake up from his confused state as soon as possible."

"Luo Ling, I still want to go to the underground palace to play."

"Take him with you and don't make trouble!" Luo Ling glared at Liu Yisheng, and the sharp eyes made him shudder and kept silent.

——————————————————————————

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling walked in the underground palace under the school again. This time, it was not full of tension and crisis like last time, but they came prepared. Bai Yicheng and Wang Jiyuan behind them led more than a dozen people. Whether it was hoes, shovels, guns, or spears, they were all available.

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling reported the situation of the underground palace to the committee as soon as they came back. They speculated that the underground palace was a secret trial base under the Earl's ancestral home, but no one had ever discovered it until the school fell from the sky and smashed through the upper level of the underground palace. There was a treasure room in the underground palace, which contained a large amount of treasure, and there was a passage that led directly to a house in the town of Floro. After intense discussions, the committee finally came to the conclusion that the treasure needed to be taken out to meet everyone's survival needs, and as for the original owner of the treasure... let's wait until he is found. So, there was a joint exploration by the logistics team and the military team.

"Did the committee members who opposed the use of the treasure come to their senses later? I heard that they went to Principal Guo to discuss the idea of ​​returning the treasure to the earl and trying to resolve the dispute peacefully." Xiao Chen asked Luo Ling with some curiosity.

"Don't worry about them, it has been voted through anyway. God finally helped us and gave us a sum of capital to start a business. There is no reason not to take it." Luo Ling wore a jacket on the upper body and jeans on the lower body, plus a pair of small leather boots, looking a bit like an explorer. "As for the earl, it has not been so easy to make peace since we destroyed his big manor. It is better to use these "gifts" he gave us to survive well. Even if we have to compensate him, the more we develop, the more resources we will have to compensate him."

"Those people don't know the value of firewood and rice until they manage the family. The things we bring to exchange are limited, and we still have to rely on these treasures for food for a period of time." Bai Yicheng also interrupted.

"Hmph, in fact, it is precisely these treasures that bring peace. If we have no money or goods but have guns, what do you think will happen?" Wang Jiyuan has been in good spirits these days. The training of the escort team has entered the right track. The few people he brought this time have been able to initially cover each other and maintain tactical formations.

Luo Ling glanced at him, nodded and said: "Let everyone survive, what's the point of robbery."

"Ahem, ahem." Xiao Chen quickly interrupted to prevent the two "murderers" from talking too much. The more he knew Luo Ling, he felt that this woman was like a river that people could not understand, sometimes gentle and considerate like a trickle, and sometimes heroic like a torrent. Xiao Chen actually agreed with their views to some extent, but he had seen some tragic battle scenes. The more he experienced war, the more he wanted to avoid war. He really didn't want to meet the local people around him one day. It would be a huge loss for everyone.

He said optimistically: "Fortunately, we are lucky. I heard that the industrial group is already looking for iron ore, and the agricultural group is also looking for good varieties. In a few months, maybe we can use the pots we made ourselves to cook the vegetables we grew ourselves..."

——————————————————————————

The magic light sources in the tunnel are still shining, which amazes people who see them for the first time. The armored warriors lying on the ground in the corridor give people a more magical feeling.

Wang Jiyuan picked up a broken hand armor, weighed it, and knocked it a few times. Asked Xiao Chen: "You mean, these armors will move by themselves?"

"Really."

Seeing Xiao Chen nod seriously, he sighed: "If I hadn't seen your fire sword with my own eyes, I would definitely think you were talking in your sleep. The empty armor inside can actually fight. A little girl can kill so many enemies. I didn't feel much before, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that this is not good news."

"Are you afraid that there are many such people in this world?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Yes, if there is a person like Zhou He who attacks our camp, it will cause big trouble. If there are ten..." He did not continue, but Xiao Chen could clearly feel his worry.

"I think this is unlikely, not to mention that there is no such person in Frollo Town. Xiluo also told me that magicians and powerful warriors are rare."

"We can't judge the strength of the whole world based on the words of an old country man. It's like asking an old Indian farmer about the situation of the US nuclear arsenal. Isn't that funny? We must strengthen our armed forces when we go back. To survive, there is no shortcut except to become stronger." Wang Jiyuan said.

The group walked into the hall where the statue was located through the cracks in the stone. While others continued to look around, Xiao Chen tried his best to use his night vision to check carefully. He has been troubled by the changes in his body these days. Although the various changes in his body seem to be benign, they are still worrying. He believes that the cause of his mutation should be here. He checked every corner and read every inscription carefully, but except for a few words about the trial, there was no mention of such changes in the body. He tried to focus his mind on the location where the white light ball appeared, but still found nothing.

He found that Luo Ling seemed to be doing the same thing as him. She exchanged a glance with Xiao Chen and whispered, "I didn't find anything either. There seems to be no more strange power here. I feel like they are all gone."

Later, they came to the treasure room again. Boxes of gold coins and gems dazzled everyone's eyes. Bai Yicheng was stunned. In his eyes, these turned into piles of food and clothes. Wang Jiyuan was stunned. In his eyes, these turned into guns and crossbows. The other people who followed were also stunned. Some of them had confusion in their eyes, and some showed greed in their eyes.

"You are willing to hand over the treasure to the school. It's really amazing. The school and the committee owe you." Bai Yicheng, who came back to his senses, said to Luo Ling.

Luo Ling shook her head and said to the others who were still in a daze: "For each of us, the treasures here have no meaning. At that time, we were more looking forward to seeing something to fill our stomachs."

After being reminded by her, some people regretfully withdrew their possessive gazes, and some threw the things in their hands back into the box with some shame. Everyone began to move and sort these things under Bai Yicheng's command. Yes, without the collective of the school, what is the meaning of having so much wealth in the hands of an individual?

Only Xiao Chen twisted his lips after hearing Luo Ling's words: If they saw the gems you put in your pocket last time, they would definitely not say that.

At this time, Luo Ling blinked at Xiao Chen and smiled slightly. Xiao Chen felt that she was like a little fox at this time, and shrugged helplessly at her.

Luo Ling walked to Xiao Chen and said to him softly: "I think we should go to the magician's house again as soon as possible. Maybe we should start from there to understand this magic world."

Xiao Chen also had this idea. The statue hall and the treasure room did not get any useful information about his physical changes, so the magician's house was the next place to explore.
