On the Seven Towers

Luo Ling had dinner with Guo Qian. They closed the door and turned on a small stove in a small private room upstairs in the cafeteria. Guo Qian succeeded in his test today and was very happy. He made an exception and ordered three dishes and one soup, a scrambled egg with tomatoes, a stir-fried wild boar, a steamed river fish, and finally a potato and wild vegetable soup. There was a lack of ingredients and seasonings in the cafeteria. It was the best. That’s all the dishes.

"Lao Chang has taken good care of our vegetable garden. He patted his chest and promised me that by this time next year, we will be able to make soy sauce and vinegar. Then I will be able to eat the braised pork that I have been dreaming about. In the past, I ate less meat because of fatty liver, high cholesterol, etc., but now I think about it, it’s really a loss.”

"Uncle, eat more. You have lost a lot of weight here and are more energetic." Luo Ling picked up a piece of the best pork belly and stuffed it into Guo Qian's bowl.

"Hey, what's going on? You girl must be up to something, tell me what you want from me today."

"It's nothing big. I just need your approval for a small plan." Luo Ling made a very short distance between her index finger and thumb.

"Small plan? Last time, your little plan flattened a mountain, destroyed a village, and gave us more than a thousand dwarf refugees. I was scared when I saw your little plan."

"Don't talk nonsense. When you saw the dwarves that day, you were so happy that you were so happy that it was too late. Hi, to make a long story short, I plan to go to the royal capital with the next caravan in a few days, and then stay there for a while. Work hard," Luo Ling said.

Guo Qian was stunned, "Isn't there Xiao Chen over there?"

"I received a letter from Xiao Chen. He analyzed the current situation and I think it is necessary to strengthen our strength in the capital."

Luo Ling told Guo Qian some of Xiao Chen's opinions, and then said: "The situation in the royal capital is too complicated. The royal family, nobles, mages, temples, and all kinds of people hiding in the shadows are all concentrated there. I can I feel his powerlessness.”

"There's no need for you to go. You just came back from the ruins. I didn't even know how dangerous it was. Every time you go out, my heart feels like it's hanging in the air."

"He and I are old friends, and we have to get along with each other when others go there. Besides, the capital is not a wilderness."

Guo Qian smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need to be so anxious. I think he has already controlled the situation. It will not be too late for us to take action when he expresses his needs."

Luo Ling thought to herself: Can I say that what he wants is for me to go? But she was still embarrassed to show Guo Qian the letter that invited her twelve times. "I'm not in a hurry, I just want to better protect our school."

"Whether it is to protect the school or to protect Xiao Chen, I think this is a question."

"Then do you eat for your stomach or for your body?"

"You clever guy." Guo Qian shook his head and pointed at Luo Ling, "Hey, be careful when you go there."

"Ha, then you agree?"

"I don't agree. The feet are not on your legs. I believe that in a committee meeting, my niece will definitely convince all the committee members."

Luo Ling bit her chopsticks and chuckled, "As long as you know my determination."

"However, you are not the first person to come to me and ask to go to the royal capital." Guo Qian said as he picked up his rice.

"Huh? What should I say?" Luo Ling suddenly became serious.

"When the caravan came back yesterday, Lao Chang and Lao Chu had already approached me. They wanted to recommend Liu Pengfei to the business group. Next time they go with the caravan to the royal capital, they said they would quickly build up the royal capital's trade network."

"These guys, are they so serious about forming gangs?" Luo Ling frowned.

"We have always supported the rotation of key personnel. There is nothing wrong with their approach, so don't label them randomly."

"They've been crowding people here and there lately, just like a puppy drinking enough water and marking it everywhere. Isn't this obvious?"

Guo Qian laughed and said: "You girl, you are too venomous. Is it true that if you do too much intelligence work, people will become more and more conspiracy-minded?"

"Everyone else is about to commit a conspiracy. You are the only one who still eats so leisurely!"

"You have to eat well."

Luo Ling curled her lips and said: "Chang Lin and Chu Ying originally wore a pair of trousers. I heard that they are advocating for liberalizing the private economy and asking schools to let out some industries. This time, I might go to the capital to drive a nail. Is it also to pave the way for this matter? After all, most of the business opportunities around Montenegro are controlled by the school, but Wangdu is almost a virgin land that has just been developed. If we seize any business opportunities, it may develop immediately. "

"So what? Do you have any objections?"

"It's not stable, uncle! I think we have to continue to concentrate on doing big things. Don't spread your energy to trivial matters."

"Don't be so extreme." Guo Qian said while holding a bowl of soup. "It's true that you always have your own thoughts. You can't ask everyone to serve the public good. I don't think their plans are all for themselves. , maybe someone wants to make a catfish.”

"With his figure, he's still a catfish? A pufferfish is just about the same." Luo Ling put down her chopsticks and pushed the bowl. "You want to dance in the house before it's even built. Aren't you afraid that the house will collapse?"

"Lao Chang is not so ignorant of the overall situation. Don't underestimate the other members of the committee. No one is a fool."

"He, Chang Lin, is a typical refined egoist."

"So what?"

"I hate it! It's not because I have moral cleanliness, but because sophisticated egoists always like to look into the distance with myopia and can never find the optimal solution to the problem."

Guo Qian finally finished his meal and said to Luo Ling, who was frowning, with a smile: "Oh, it's a very satisfying meal. I agree with all your requests. Let's leave after complaining?"

"Wait, I only remember to talk about them and almost forgot about another important matter."

"Anything else?"

Luo Ling took off the two earrings, one white and one black, and put them in her hands, "Let me introduce you to two new partners."

Then, the two earrings turned into two people in Guo Qian's stunned eyes.

The girl wore a white dress and held a long sword in her hand, while the boy wore a black jacket and dark blue jeans, with a magic wand inserted in his belt.

Luo Ling put her arm around their shoulders and said, "Let me introduce them. They are Milda and Glade. They are both the canons of the Seven Holy Towers and powerful magic swordsmen and magicians. After coming out of the underground ruins, they quietly followed me to observe our school. Today they finally made a decision and are ready to become one of us. Dear uncle, you two should get along well in the future!"
