On the Seven Towers

Other people in the room had no time to react and could only watch Mei kill the captive.

There were sounds of inhalation and exclamation around them, and everyone was shocked by Mei's decisiveness.

Xiao Chen was really angry at this time. He had never expected that this mysterious woman would suddenly attack and kill the captive without warning. "Miss Mei, why did you suddenly do it without discussing it with me!"

"You can't blame me for this. The Shadow Group has a secret method of suicide. Not only can it end life in an instant, but it can also destroy the soul. If we don't kill him unexpectedly. After he commits suicide, we will get nothing." Mei said slowly, "But now, you can use the spell to interpret the memory of the dead."

"Even so, you can tell me in advance! I don't know what you said to Ye Zi, and what she promised you. But if you want her to learn from you, we must have such basic mutual trust!"

"Hey, I just forgot to say it in advance. When I remembered it, it was too late." Mei spread her hands, looking helpless.

The person was already dead, and Xiao Chen had no other choice but to come to the captive and prepare to perform soul interpretation.

This middle-aged man was called Brise, and he was a subordinate of the intelligence captain of the Shadow Group, Makola. Xiao Chen's thoughts followed his vision and recalled his memory, and he got a lot of useful information.

After a moment, he turned to Mei and said, "These people are indeed here for us. There is a guy named Sancho in the Shadow Group who has been eyeing us since Montenegro. It was Sancho's idea to arrest Ye Zi today, in order to torture her for information about us."

"So Javier and I are implicated."

"I don't think so. Since you are interested in Ye Zi and even want to guide her, you must have special concerns about this matter. I think with this relationship, it can't be considered as an implicate."

"Sir Xiao Chen, don't you think it's far-fetched?"

"It's not far-fetched, otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here."

Mei Xiang crossed her arms around her chest, and stared at Xiao Chen with golden eyes for seven or eight seconds, "Can you tell me what secret made him eye you?"

"Then can you tell me why you are interested in Ye Zi, and even us? What is the position of the Tower of Shining Wings in this matter?" Xiao Chen asked back.

"You guys are all very interesting." Mei put down her arms, "Okay. I think we need to have a good chat."

——————————————————

When Xiao Chen saw the people in the reading club again, they had finished dinner and were about to leave.

"Mr. Xiao Chen, the reading club you hosted was so successful and meaningful. Mr. Li Jia's magic explanation taught me so many useful things." Feng Qi said eagerly.

"And Miss Tashia's spellcasting skills, such things can only be possessed by an ancient and long-standing family like hers, and now they are willing to share with us, we are really grateful." Another member, Gracos, said. He is the only mid-level mage in the reading club besides Xiao Chen and Tashia.

"Don't forget these foods, I now expect the reading club to hold activities every day." The third mage, Napel, joked.

"The reading club is such a place for sharing. Today, Miss Tashia gave us the best example. Let our first event be a success." Xiao Chen responded to everyone with a smile.

"Next time, I will definitely share my experience with you. Although I am still a low-level wizard, I have some interesting ideas about the magic of missile magic." Feng Qi said very cooperatively. Then several other wizards also expressed their willingness to share their experiences.

When they walked to the door, Tashia told everyone that she had another research to discuss with Xiao Chen and Li Jia last time, and she planned to leave later tonight. She and Xiao Chen sent the others away together.

Xiao Chen took Tashia into a study and said straight to the point: "The Temple of Nature is eyeing us."

"What?!" Tashia originally thought that Xiao Chen kept her to discuss the content of "The True Source of Magic Power". Unexpectedly, when he said it, it was such explosive news. The female wizard's face clearly showed a panic expression, and her originally fair face could now be described as pale.

Xiao Chen pointed at the house and drew a circle, saying, "They are not targeting you. They are targeting these people from Black Mountain."

But Tasia's expression still did not ease. She said, "It's all the same! I've been hanging out with you these days, and the spies from the Temple of Nature will find me one day."

She grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands, thought for more than ten seconds and asked, "How bad is it? Tell me clearly."

"Specifically, the people of the Shadow Group of the Temple of Nature think that we may have some problems. But they should not have discovered the details of the Seven Towers yet. Someone has been secretly watching us these days."

"When did you know about this?"

"Today, they had a direct conflict with our people and attacked our people on the road."

"What was the result?"

"They all died, a total of six."

"What about you?"

"One person was injured."

"It really surprised me! It seems that they kicked a very hard rock."

"We are not easy to mess with. But I still feel sorry for involving you in these things." Xiao Chen said.

"No, since we both know each other's background, we have become natural allies, so don't talk about getting involved." Tashia has calmed down. "Please tell me, what do you want me to do when you come to see you? Temporarily hide? Leave the capital? Or seek the protection of our family?"

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "These methods are too negative."

"Could it be that you see some kind of opportunity to save the relationship?" Tashia grasped Xiao Chen's meaning very sensitively, and there was a bit of surprise in her eyes. In her opinion, she had provoked the people of the Shadow Group and killed six of them in one breath. There seemed to be no better way out except hiding.

"In fact, I just left to interrogate a dead soul. I got a valuable piece of information from it, that is, all the current actions are still the intention of the Shadow Group, and the priests of the temple are not involved.

Coincidentally, I also learned that the new deputy chief priest of the Nature Temple, Silver Leaf Priest Roland, has some conflicts with Yepes, the leader of the Shadow Group's King's Capital Branch. Although Roland and I have met once, I am afraid that we did not leave a very good impression on each other at that time. So I need a powerful person to introduce me again." Xiao Chen said.

"Priest Roland? I'm not familiar with him, and he doesn't seem to be a very outstanding figure. This time, he directly served as the deputy chief priest of the capital, which seemed to have caused dissatisfaction among many people. They said that he had limited qualifications and was not up to the task."

Xiao Chen recalled the two times he saw Roland outside the slave camp, and said: "There is an old saying in our hometown: A dog that bites doesn't bark."

Tasia was originally thinking seriously, but was amused by his words, "But the present-world sect he belongs to does have a lot of dealings with my family. I dare not say that there is still hope, but it is worth a try."
