On the Seven Towers

"Master Kona, Master Gordon." Xiao Chen saw Master Kona and Master Gordon standing not far from the door, so he stepped forward to greet them.

Kona nodded: "Xiao Chen, this day has finally arrived. It's not easy."

"The support and help of both of you are indispensable." Xiao Chen said.

"There is no need to thank you. Magicians must stand together to gain enough power. This is also the original intention of the establishment of the Kingdom Magic Association." Master Gordon said, "The Magic Association has been troubled in the past few days because of the location and location of your fiefdom. I don't know how many times there have been quarrels in the palace. No matter how the meat is distributed, it is either the royal family or the secular nobles.

Although you have reached a deal with the Arias family, they will still argue with us about the details when it comes to specific issues. And the land in the northwest of Montenegro that you want belongs to the royal family. But thanks to what happened last time, the king finally backed down. "

"It looks like we've achieved the best possible outcome."

"You chose the best time." Master Gordon patted his shoulder and said, "So, your situation is really enviable."

"Have you heard anything?"

"You have to know that due to the 'generosity' of the King and Count Carlos, the territory you will gain exceeds many existing magic towers."

"Master Gordon, do you think some magicians will have problems with us?"

"It's hard to talk about this matter. Anyway, you'd better be careful."

At this time, Master Kona suddenly said: "You are growing very fast, don't be afraid to show your strength."

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen, long time no see." Count Carlos and Selinda both attended the ceremony in costumes, and he was also one of the protagonists today. More than one-third of the territory Xiao Chen was about to acquire was originally his.

"Your Excellency, Earl, thank you for your generosity." Xiao Chen saluted.

The Earl sighed softly: "Generosity? No, no, no, you yourself obtained that territory. I recently went back to Montenegro, looked around, and even talked to some people on your 'committee'. Yes. There are so many things that have directly changed the way I look at things. Sometimes I really doubt whether the place you come from is really in this world.

I was amazed by the results you achieved over there in Montenegro. I saw all kinds of factories, warehouses full of goods, and fleets of vehicles that never stopped. When everything comes into your hands, it will be organized into a completely different way.

And the civilians there are very different from the people under my rule. I don't know what changed them, but even a civilian who was originally a slave seemed very motivated and knew exactly what he wanted to do.

After being surprised, I felt a little scared again. I know very well in my heart that regardless of whether the kingdom canonizes your territory or not, that land will eventually become yours. No one can drive you out from there except by waging war. Do people there care about canonization? No. Do you care about the king? No. I don't think you even care about gods. I really don’t know what else do you care about besides property and weapons? "

"You don't have to be afraid at all. We are partners, and we have never done anything wrong to our partners, right?"

"I hope so."

Count Carlos glanced around and saw Liu Pengfei talking to Princess Laura. Although both of them were still reserved, an uncontrollable smile could be seen on the princess's face.

But Ye Zi was talking to Prince Havel, who was more direct. He was holding Ye Zi's arm and saying these things eagerly.

"Then as a partner, I have to give you a kind reminder. At this point in time, there is no need to get too close to the princess or the prince. The more I pay attention to Montenegro, the more I feel that you, like me, do not need to be in these two Betting between individuals. I guess the contact between both parties is just a gesture of neutrality, but once people get too close, it will involve a lot of unnecessary trouble. The most obvious example is the game. Linda and Li Jia?”

Selinda, who was talking to Li Jia on the side, looked over thoughtfully. Seeing her father and Xiao Chen looking at her, she glared at her father.

The earl covered his mouth lightly: "Have you turned on the soundproof barrier?"

"certainly."

“Well, she probably didn’t hear it, otherwise it wouldn’t be a matter of glaring at me.

You know, emotions are the most uncontrollable things.

Have you seen the look of that princess? I have a lot of experience with women. The more powerful and amazing women feel that they are, the easier it is for them to fall deeply into a certain emotion, because they don’t believe that they will lose their minds. They always feel that they have already done the most. Good choice. They believe that what they do is a perfect combination of rationality and sensibility. But what is the reality? Every woman dominated by love is as stupid as a pig. "

Xiao Chen has reservations about this conclusion. In that kind of relationship, who is more like a pig than Luo Ling or him? He is not very confident in himself, "Are you worrying too much? Could the princess have true feelings for Liu Pengfei?" ?”

"You are talking about a sixteen-year-old woman who lives in a deep palace and has only read a few chivalric novels. She is full of energy and has nowhere to vent. If you look closely, doesn't she look like a kitten in heat?"

"This..." Xiao Chen looked at Liu Pengfei and had to admit that he was a handsome and personable man, who was quite exotic to the princess.

"There is also that silly child with too much energy. He inspired Ye Zi's maternal nature. There are always some women who are born with a lack of resistance to children. One day he actually held Ye Zi and asked her for help. What do you think she would do?"

Xiao Chen didn't know.

"Okay, you are all newcomers in this game. I am just telling you some old people's experiences. You must know that there are quite a few people in the capital who are paying attention to your position, and there are not a few people who think that you are betting on both sides. The most important thing here is What is not missing is sly eyes and a wild mind.”

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen, I brought greetings from the teacher today." Priest Garno stood closer to the inside. He glanced at Xiao Chen's March badge and sighed: "The speed at which you advance makes me ashamed. . I remember that when I met you in Suero more than half a year ago, you were all low-level mages, but now you have occupied a high-end position in this world. I can only say that the growth of genius is incomprehensible to me. ”

Xiao Chen smiled and said: "You can understand that we pursued knowledge first and then power. People with knowledge can always gain power more easily."

"Okay. I have seen Your Excellency Luo Ling's knowledge, and it is really impressive."

"I haven't seen Priest Roland for a long time." Xiao Chen said, "He seems to be very busy recently?"

"He will not come to such an occasion. The king will not see the king." Ganou was straightforward and directly stated the reason. "Besides, organizing the power of the temple did consume most of his energy. But he asked me to give it to you. In other words, the chaotic pattern of Wangting is too small, so you can look to a higher place."

"Yes, I remember it." It should be said that among the words of these people before, this was the one that appealed to Xiao Chen the most.
