On the Seven Towers

The color of dusk became darker and darker, making the atmosphere in the small yard of the blacksmith shop more and more solemn.

The last few rays of sunlight slanted across the wall and penetrated into the yard, painting the shadows of the stalemate on the wall. Some stood tall, while others were humble.

Ines and Robert didn't know the term stalemate. But they also knew that Robert, who had revealed all the information, had lost the initiative, and his fate only depended on Xiao Chen's words.

Xiao Chen put away his mental pressure, and Ines found that he could finally speak. He looked at Robert's cowering appearance, sighed and said: "Your Excellency Xiao Chen, please tell me how to let Robert go. "

Xiao Chen raised two fingers, "I have two requirements. First, you have to find an opportunity to bring all the Baron's family together, and then notify me in time. Second, I need you to stabilize all sales networks, regardless of Whatever happens to the Baron family, all distributors must not mess up!"

"What do you want?" Ines bent even lower,

"Of course it is to capture the baron and control his family members. No one can escape the due punishment after murdering our people." Xiao Chen said.

"You will arouse the fear and dissatisfaction of all the nobles around you. Even if there is a conflict between the nobles and the Magic Tower, everyone will negotiate to solve the problem. After all, the Tower of China where you are is a new force, and you don't want to let the people around you All forces should cut off contact with you!" Ines said.

Xiao Chen's expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dimness. There was a bright color on the side of his face facing the setting sun, which made him look sharp and sharp. Ines saw that the corners of his mouth were raised. This smile did not give people any soft feeling, but instead made his face look angular. "No one will waste their own interests on fighting the Baron's injustice. On the contrary, I believe there are many people who are happy to see the Baron lose power. Not only will these people not have any objections to me, but they will also You can't convince me that you will work more closely with me.

"I can't do it. I can't betray the Baron like this." Ines' voice was not loud, but her tone was insistent.

"Even if it costs you and your son's life?"

Ines knelt down and said, "You wouldn't do that. I know you are a kind-hearted person and you have a noble soul. You would not treat someone who is powerless to resist like this..."

"I am usually like this, except when I treat enemies. Especially when someone threatens me with this!" Xiao Chen interrupted him rudely, "An ancestor once said that you should be as cruel and ruthless as the harsh winter when you treat your enemies. "

Xiao Chen looked back at Robert and reached out to point at him. Snowflakes began to condense from the sky. These snowflakes fell on Robert and did not dissipate. Instead, they accumulated quickly. Soon, white snowflakes appeared on his body. Frost.

Robert had a look of fear on his face. He struggled to avoid the ice and snow, but the cold made his body slower and slower. He only took two steps before his feet were completely frozen and he was unable to escape. As thicker and thicker ice stretched upwards from his feet, he waved his arms in vain, and soon turned into an ice sculpture with a weird posture.

During the entire process of Robert being frozen to death, Ines was unable to move his body. All he could do was watch in despair as his son turned into ice.

It wasn't until a long time later that Ines finally felt the pressure around him loosen. He crawled toward Robert on his hands and knees, letting out a shrill cry as he crawled. When he was about to touch Robert, his feet gave way and he fell on Robert. The iceman was knocked down by him and hit the stone floor with a dull cracking sound. The ice cracked and Robert also broke into pieces. .

Ines held up two blood-colored ice cubes, which seemed to be Robert's heart, wrapped in ice and broken into two pieces.

"This is not real, this is a dream, this is a dream." However, the severe pain in his heart, the hard stone under his knees, the biting cold in his hands, and the cold expressions of the people around him made him have to believe that everything was just a dream. real.

Ines put down the pieces in her hand and turned to stare at Xiao Chen fiercely. His face almost turned into a wild beast, and he roared: "You! You butcher! I will never cooperate with you! Die, die! I want you to die together."

Power that came from nowhere burst out from Ines's heart and turned into energy in his body. He suddenly stood up from the ground and pounced on Xiao Chen like an old lion.

Xiao Chen did not dodge and let him rush towards him. However, when he pounced on Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen turned into smoke and everything around him turned into darkness.

"This is..." Ines suddenly realized that he was still kneeling, and the darkness was because he closed his eyes. He was very tired and soaked with sweat. After struggling to open his eyes, he found that everything seemed to have gone back to before Xiao Chen said, "It's as cruel and ruthless as the severe winter." His son Robert was still standing there, but he also closed his eyes. Tears welled up in Ines's eyes.

"It's really an illusion..." But such an illusion is too real and too scary.

"What's the difference between this environment and reality? As long as I want, that nightmare can continue, and I can let you experience it countless times. You won't know which death is real, but all the pain is definitely real. of."

Ines was speechless.

At this time, Robert on the opposite side also opened his eyes. He murmured, "Why is it here again? Didn't I take a nap at home? Why did I come to this nightmare again? After more than ten years, I still can't escape the torture of this dream."

He looked at Ines with disgust: "Father, please let me go. Yes! More than ten years ago, I threw you to that damn Xiao Chen, and then went to inform the Baron, and then let you be executed by the Chinese. But the Baron was saved, and our family became prosperous. Isn't this exactly what you want? The Tower of China was destroyed ten years ago. Can you just disappear and stop torturing me in the dream?"

Xiao Chen looked at Robert meaningfully, and said to Ines: "His illusion is different from yours. It is a test of his character. It is a dream that lasted for many years. But it seems that except for giving up you in that dream, he has lived a good life in other aspects. Since he will give up you, I can't detain you and force him to do things."

"What are you talking about? Why is this dream different?" Robert looked at Xiao Chen puzzled.

"Welcome back to reality. How does it feel to have been dreaming for more than ten years?"

"What a joke! This, this dream is wrong. This is a nightmare. Those things can't be fake. My wife, my children, and the big house." Robert was about to collapse. He looked even worse than his father when he came out of the dream. "How could it all be fake? Have I lived in vain? Have I lived in vain?"

"This is terrible." Ines suddenly found that what Robert had experienced was even more horrible than him. If this happens twice, he will definitely go crazy.

"So, please think clearly, are you going to continue, or consider doing what I say. I don't want to kill you. But this kind of merciful cruelty may be more terrible." Xiao Chen said.
