On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen was awakened by a knock on the door.

When people fall asleep in the meditation space, they naturally fall asleep in reality. Xiao Chen had a vague impression of what happened before he fell asleep, but his body should have naturally left the meditation space after falling asleep, right? Otherwise he would still be on the beach when he woke up.

Tasia..., Xiao Chen's heart became confused when he thought of her. Finally, he shook his head, sighed secretly, got up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Roger stood at the door: "Sir, they have arrived."

Xiao Chen ran to the window and looked out, only to see two carriages parked at the main entrance downstairs, and several other trucks had arrived at the entrance of the warehouse.

The carriage door was pushed open, and a pretty figure wearing a magician's robe walked out and stepped on the snow in the courtyard. She seemed to feel Xiao Chen's gaze, raised her head slightly, and met his eyes.

She seemed to see Xiao Chen eagerly leaning out of the window and couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Chen felt that the smile hit his heart in an instant, sweeping away all the gloom that had accumulated over the past few days.

He seemed to see a plum blossom in full bloom, which could decorate his whole winter.

——————————————

In the afternoon, the two of them sat opposite each other in the study, each holding a cup of hot tea in their hands.

Neither of them spoke, quietly feeling the atmosphere of tacit understanding permeating the room.

Xiao Chen liked this atmosphere very much. There was no need to speak, but everything was kept silent.

However, not long after, Luo Ling suddenly broke the silence: "I heard that you have hidden your beauty in the golden house?"

Xiao Chen almost spat out a mouthful of tea. He was choked and coughed repeatedly, "I thought you would want to talk to me about your lonely life, about your emotional sustenance, even if you want to talk about the recent situation in the capital. How can I say this? Just say this, who are you listening to?"

"I will talk about feelings with the person who hides the beauty in the golden house? Are you stupid?"

"Do you know about Tasia?"

"Well, tell me."

"No, no, that's not the rhythm." Xiao Chen tugged on his clothes, as if to correct his image, "I have nothing to do with Tasia."

Luo Ling tilted her head, looking completely unbelieving.

"Of course, she can only live in my meditation space now due to very tragic reasons. However, this is not my wish, and I have no relationship with her beyond friendship. She is like this when she has a body, but she does not have a body. It will be the same in the future." Xiao Chen said with an upright face.

Luo Ling looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Please think about it this way. A certain man, such as Teacher Qin Mu, and I went to play in the forest in the middle of the night. When we encountered danger, he died to save me. In the end, I I saved him with my own meditation space and let him live in my heart. At this moment, he is living in my meditation space and watching our conversation. What kind of emotions will you use your mage's deduction? Calculate your abilities carefully."

"I……"

"Tell the truth."

"I will be... very unhappy, very unhappy." Xiao Chen had to admit.

"What if I have a handsome scholar named Luo Dang next to me, and a mercenary guy who hangs around me every day?"

Xiao Chen was choked up by Luo Ling and was speechless. He completely lost his usual tact, and he muttered for a long time: "But in the end I will be very tolerant and understand you, and then I won't cause you any trouble."

"Do you mean that I don't understand you enough now?" Luo Ling asked.

Xiao Chen scratched his head and said, "No, you know my thoughts very well."

At this time, Luo Ling laughed and said: "I am very tolerant and generous. All the questions I asked just now were just about caring for you. Think about it carefully, did I ask for punishment? What is wrong with my tone? I just asked a few questions about the current situation of some people related to you. Why are you so frightened and restless? "

"You..., oh." Xiao Chen realized that he had been fooled by Luo Ling again, "You are so true!"

Luo Ling covered her mouth and laughed: "But I want to remind you one thing, learn to refuse, lest you be rejected by more important people. Now there are more people in the office, and there are more people begging you inside and outside. You Think about it."

Of course Xiao Chen heard the pun in the other person's words. He asked himself that he had indeed done something wrong in some places.

While he was still thinking about it, Luo Ling had already changed the subject, forcing him to pull his thoughts away from what had just happened.

"We encountered something on the way here. Someone came to pick a fight with us, but I solved it. That person looked like someone from Princess Laura. If not, at least he was someone who supported her."

"Princess Laura?" Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, "Did I get too close to Prince Javier? Did I alert some people?"

"It's very possible, otherwise I can't figure out why someone would use such a clumsy method to test my strength." Luo Ling told Xiao Chen the general situation.

"To be honest, I don't think this is the handiwork of the princess, but more like the actions of some of her supporters in the army. These gangsters often have no talent for conspiracy and do things simply and crudely. It has happened several times in the capital. There is a conflict between the military and the Royal Magic Tower."

"Is it the same old story about inheritance fights again?"

"According to the intelligence we have, the old king's health is not yet at the point where he can't support himself. But the supporters of both the princess and the prince are making some preparations for a rainy day. Recently, the news that our Black Mountain Mage will be granted a territory has been spread, and I am half a teacher of Prince Javier, so naturally some people are worried that we will greatly increase the bargaining chips of the prince's side, and want to weigh our weight." Xiao Chen analyzed.

"It seems that the several dukes and marquises who support the princess in the military have begun to infiltrate the city guards and the imperial guards. Originally, these two troops were directly under the royal family, but this Delt who provoked me was just transferred from the border troops. I am afraid that this is their trick to interfere in the military affairs of the capital."

"It is very likely that they are trying to find out our bottom line on the one hand, and the action of winning us over has also begun." Xiao Chen took out a stack of invitations from the drawer of the table and smiled, "From no one cared about us when we first came to the capital, to now we have become a hot commodity, it has only been less than two months."

Luo Ling took the invitation and read it roughly. On the political spectrum, there are all kinds of people from the prince faction, the princess faction and the middle faction. , "It seems that we are a force with some weight in the capital. But in the eyes of most people, we are labeled as princes, right?"

"Betting between princesses and princes is a very interesting betting game. It's just a pity that I don't play games." Xiao Chen said without hesitation, "My help to Javier in learning magic does not mean that I support him to become king, nor does it mean that our Montenegro will be involved in these troubles. They will understand this in the future."

"What do you want to do?"

Xiao Chen knocked on the invitation on the table, "Who said that our Montenegro is a solid block?"

"Are you talking about Liu Pengfei?" Luo Ling smiled knowingly.

"As long as he plays himself, it will be fine." Xiao Chen picked out a few invitations and said, "Of course, we have to play the opponent well. These invitations still require me to show my face. I was originally worried about the female companion, but now I am finally saved."

"Inviting me to dance is conditional." Luo Ling leaned back in the chair, hugged her arms and looked at him.

"What?"

"I am very curious about your canary. Let me see it."
