On the Seven Towers

When Chen Hansheng had been in Arano for a full month, Baron O'Farrell finally sent someone to visit him. The one who came to the inn to see him was Robin, the baron's butler.

Robin stood outside the inn with two tall and strong followers, with his hands behind his back, secretly thinking about something.

He was over fifty years old and had a strong body. He was a subordinate of the baron in the army in his early years. Because of his bravery and good fighting skills, he was promoted from a group of poor people by the baron and kept by his side. Over the years, he has also practiced some exercises and now has the strength of the low-level peak. It's just that he is old and not qualified enough, so he has never had the opportunity to be promoted to the middle level.

"These mages are really shabby." A follower whispered.

"If there is, don't say it even if it's the truth. Do you understand?" Robin scolded.

"Yes."

"However, this kind of situation..." Robin shook his head, "The big water magic crystal won't be sent later."

A member of the business team came out and led them into the inn. Going around two corners, he led them into a hall on the first floor.

It was a room of only ten square meters, without even a table or chair. Chen Hansheng sat on a box in the middle of the room, and Kalanda and Glade could only stand on both sides.

When Robin and the other two walked into the room, the low eaves of the door forced him to lower his head. It was very cramped to squeeze three people into the small hall, which made Robin, who was used to living in a tall house, very uncomfortable.

Robin saw the three people in front of him and knew that the middle-aged man in the middle was the real manager here. He greeted and presented a gift, and then said to Chen Hansheng: "The Baron will hold a celebration banquet for Miss Jenny to become a magic apprentice of the Red Lotus Tower the day after tomorrow, and would like to invite everyone from the China Tower to participate."

He took out a pair of invitations from his pocket and handed them to Chen Hansheng. But he secretly used his fighting spirit to penetrate into the invitation. Because the amount of fighting spirit is very small, people who are not particularly sensitive will not notice it even if they are at a higher level. But this secret method can sense the opponent's approximate strength at the moment of taking over.

"Lord Baron finally remembered us?" Chen Hansheng asked after taking the invitation.

"Lord Chen, please don't misunderstand Lord Baron," Robin had already weighed Chen Hansheng's strength unconsciously. He was a low-level warrior like him, but his strength was at most in the middle level. Three or four enemies of this level might not be his opponent.

Generally, the leader sent by the magic tower is always the strongest person. In this world where strength is respected, fists are always the best to talk. And the deputy will be the type who is smart, capable, and good at doing things. Only young people with strong backgrounds who come out to experience will have much stronger helpers to escort them. But Chen Hansheng's age is obviously not one of them.

In this case, the two people standing on his left and right are probably about the same strength as him, or even lower? The young man in the robe looked very young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and didn't even have the badge of the Magic Association. At most, he was a low-level wizard who had just been promoted, or even a magic apprentice. And the woman was probably about the same strength as Chen Hansheng. Robin thought to himself that if he suddenly attacked, he might be able to take down these three by himself.

He suppressed the thoughts that were about to stir in his heart and explained: "The Baron said that he should come to visit when Guita came to Arano Town. It's just that his health has not been good, so he couldn't go. This time is a good day for Miss Jenny to be accepted by the Red Lotus Tower, and the magicians of the Red Lotus Tower are coming. It's a good opportunity to invite Lord Chen and the magicians of Guita to come together. You can meet friends in the magic world and meet with the surrounding nobles. The Baron also wants to have a good chat with you."

Chen Hansheng took a look at the invitation and said: "I know, we will come."

"Then we will wait for your arrival." Robin thought he knew the other party's strength, and wanted to test him. Then he asked: "A few days ago, two criminals escaped halfway through the punishment. It is said that Lord Chen took them in, but I don't know if it is true. "

Chen Hansheng said: "I don't have any criminals here. If you are talking about the Tuqin family, they are now under my management. As the head of the town, the baron does not need to worry about the affairs of the free people in the future."

"But they owe taxes to the baron."

Chen Hansheng sat there and laughed, as if he heard a joke. He waved his hand and said: "The reason why the baron asked the free people to collect taxes is untenable. The so-called debt does not exist. This is not only true for Tuqin, but also for other free people. If necessary, I will reconcile with the baron the day after tomorrow and ask him to return the taxes collected on my behalf. "

Back to the baron's mansion, Robin went straight to the reception room. When he arrived at the reception room, Baron O'Farrell was chatting with a woman in a red robe. This woman was the deputy tower master of the Red Lotus Tower, his daughter's teacher, and the intermediate wizard Susanna.

The baron was tall and strong, and belonged to the same style as Robin. He was in his fifties, with brown curly hair and a little gray on his temples, but he still looked energetic. The female wizard looked mature and charming, but like most female wizards, her actual age could not be seen.

"Master! The invitation has been sent out." Robin came to the chair where the two were sitting.

"What kind of person is Mayor Chen? Is he really a madman as the rumors say?" After the baron finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair and laughed. He said to Susanna: "Can you imagine? A mayor who hangs out with the peasants and weaves straw sandals in his room every day?"

"There is such a thing. Sir O'Farrell, you didn't tell me." Susanna's expression was not as relaxed as his. She stood up from the backrest, leaned forward, and said seriously, "People from the Mage Tower must have reasons for doing things. Maybe we can't just look down on them."

"It's nothing more than using small favors to win over the people, but what are these low-class people capable of? Follow them and cheer? As long as I want, it's easy for one person to kill the whole town."

"I've tested his strength, a low-level warrior. According to my judgment, the levels of the other few are also limited." Robin said, "But his tone is not small, he He said that from now on, the free people will be under his control, and we are not allowed to collect taxes anymore. He even wants to take back the taxes you collected from the free people last time. "

"Where does a low-level person get the courage? Is the Chinese Tower really that strong? Your Excellency Susanna, what do you think of this magic tower that suddenly appeared?"

"According to the news from the capital, the Chinese Tower is indeed average. They don't have a great magician, and all the high- and middle-level magicians are in the capital." Susanna said, "But they must have their own abilities to be recognized by the Magic Association and the King."

The baron sneered: "That's nothing, we just need to be more prepared. "
