On the Seven Towers

Li Jia was walking in the streets of Gronia City, his steps were slow and his movements were hesitant. The smell of blood and fire here was many times stronger than on the city wall just now, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Although he has lived in this world for two years, he has never had the opportunity to see such a scene. Whether it was in school, in the royal capital, or on the previous journey, he had avoided the most tragic parts by accident. .

He originally released the Mage's Eye and let it fly above his head, using it to observe what was happening in a larger area around him. But not long after he looked at it, his mage's eyes retracted, continuously lowered in height, and finally stopped less than a foot above his head. Like an ignorant child who was touched by a flame, he suddenly retracted his hand. It was flying above just now, and there were too many scenes that I couldn't bear to look at.

Li Jia saw the worst side of human nature blooming unscrupulously here, and unfortunately, he was one of these evildoers.

Yes, he didn't do anything, but he didn't stop these crimes from happening. He even compiled various vague reasons in his mind to convince himself not to get involved in these things. He was so cowardly that he would only clench his fists aside, Watched in silence.

When Li Jia was walking through a crossing, a stumbling berserker with a red face rushed towards him carrying a woman. He drank too much wine in one go and saw Li Jia in a daze, but did not recognize him. His identity is to regard him as a lamb to be slaughtered in the city. So the berserker pulled out the ax from his waist and struck Li Jia.

Li Jia's figure flashed and appeared more than 20 meters away. The mad warrior jumped into the air and looked around with some confusion. After he finally found Li Jia, he rushed towards him again.

Li Jia used short-distance teleportation several times to avoid the berserker's attacks, only to find that the berserker was determined to kill him. He had no choice but to cast an air lock magic when the Berserker charged again, wrapping an invisible chain around the opponent's leg and causing him to fall to the ground. Li Jia used several impact techniques on his head one after another, knocking him unconscious.

The woman he was carrying was thrown away, fell to the ground and rolled several times until she was in front of Li Jia.

"Are you okay?" Li Jia asked from a distance. At this time, he saw clearly that the robe the woman was wearing had been torn from the hem. He could only see that it covered her upper body, but there was nothing underneath.

The woman looked at Li Jia with a miserable expression. She looked at the berserker not far away, and her body trembled with fright. She hurriedly turned around and asked Li Jia: "Master Mage, are you here to save us?"

Li Jia felt a little confused and said, "It's not... me, I'm just passing by."

The expression on the woman's face changed from expectation to despair, and the speed of the change made Li Jia's heart tighten. She picked up a stone from the ground and said, "Then don't stop me, I want to kill this beast that insulted me! "

Without waiting for Li Jia to answer, she rushed to the Berserker, raised the stone, and smashed it at him with all her strength. The stone hit the Berserker's temple and spattered a blood flower. When she was about to hit it again, she found that her hand was held by an unknown force. She realized that this was the same method used to bind the berserker's feet. It was a kind of magic. When she looked back, she saw that the mage had actually stretched out his palm and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Stop!" Li Jia said.

The stone in the woman's hand fell down, and she said with a sad and angry expression: "Sir, look at my appearance, don't you understand what he did to me? My sister is only fourteen years old, and she resisted a little. He broke his neck."

"But, even if there is something wrong with what he did, you can't kill him directly." Li Jiadao, "I can help you write down these things. When the time comes, someone will naturally judge what he did."

"It's okay for him to kill my sister. He just needs to face trial. But it's not okay for me to kill him for revenge. Is that what you mean?"

"No, she is my wife's subordinate. I can't watch you kill him here."

"Sir, please stop talking. There is no more stone in your hand. Please let me go." The woman obviously didn't want to argue with him anymore.

Li Jia saw the woman's look, as if she had given up on revenge, so he let go of the two air locks on her hands and shoulders.

As expected, the woman did not attack the berserker with stones. Instead, she rushed towards the house next to her with all her strength as soon as the air lock was released. Li Jia heard a dull sound. The woman's head hit the wall, leaving a large pool of blood, and then she slumped to the ground, motionless.

The woman's death was like a bell ringing in Li Jia's heart, and he suddenly felt hot on his face.

What am I doing? I didn't let the beast in front of me die, but I indirectly killed a woman. Li Jia couldn't help but take two steps back. He had never hated the person lying on the ground as much as he did now.

He raised his hand and lowered it several times, and the prepared attack magic almost fell on the berserker's head several times, but he finally gave up the plan.

In the end, Li Jia just tied him up with the air, and was about to lift him up to Selinda for trial. At this time, a man came over and stopped him. It was Lumiere, the leader of Selinda's berserkers.

"Your Excellency Li Jia, what are you doing? Why are my subordinates in your hands?" Lumiere asked.

Li Jia said with some anger: "Did you see this woman on the ground? This person directly caused her death, right in front of me! I want to hand him over to Selinda for trial."

"Sorry, what you said is completely different from what I saw. I clearly saw you using magic to bind my companion, and then allowed this woman to hit his head with a stone." Lumiere stepped forward, He touched his unconscious companion's head with his hand. There was bright red blood on his hand. "Look, the evidence is here."

"Since you have seen so much, you should have seen that I stopped that woman." Li Jia said.

Lumiere did not answer him directly, but said: "Since this woman hurt him, it means that she is indeed an enemy who resisted us. To deal with such an enemy, nothing can be done too much. Therefore, my companion is not guilty, please Let him go."

Li Jia was unmoved and stood in a stalemate with him. Lumiere sneered: "What? Mr. Li Jia, do you want to spend time here with me? You have to know that some people go too far, but I still have to go." Stop it, the longer I stay here, the more things you don’t want to see happen. Do you really want this?”

Li Jia gritted her teeth and glared at him, but Lumiere was not afraid. He was from Count Carlos and didn't care about the views of this indecisive count's son-in-law.

In the end, Li Jia let the person down. Lumiere smiled and put the person on his shoulders. When leaving, he looked back at Li Jia and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Li Jia, you'd better return to the City Lord's Mansion. Stay with Lady Selinda, nothing will change if you hang around here."

Li Jia watched the other party leave. When Lumiere walked out of sight, he squatted down in pain with his head in his hands. At his feet, it was the woman who had no trace of life.
