On the Seven Towers

At four o'clock in the morning, in the town of Lassia to the east of Gronia City, Baños, the acting city lord of Grogna, stood humbly and respectfully next to Xiao Chen and his party, looking at a stone fountain where Xiao Chen stood in the town square. Go on, perform some secret technique with your eyes closed.

The man in front of me is the supreme leader of the Tower of China, the great magician, and a foreign visitor with a mysterious inheritance. Compared with him, Baños is just a middle-level knight who follows Selinda. Although he now manages a city, he dare not show any disrespect in front of Xiao Chen.

He followed Xiao Chen and others, trekking in the middle of the night, to this town, which was more than a hundred kilometers away from Gronia City.

After Xiao Chen and others came to Gronia, they hoped to go to a closer location to meet Li Jia and others, so Baños recommended this town.

Lassia Town is located between Grogna City and Lagos City, and is the only place to go from Lagos to Grogna. This town was also recently captured by Selinda. It turns out that this is a town that produces stone and has the best masons in the area. But as Selinda's army crossed the border, the town was almost destroyed, and most of the young people in the town were taken away by Selinda as craftsmen and slaves accompanying the army. Later, as a city on the transportation and supply line, transportation teams and reconnaissance teams were often stationed. The remaining old people, women and children suffered disasters again and again, and those who survived also fled to the surrounding villages for refuge. Now, this town, which originally had a population of more than a thousand people, is deserted, like a ghost town, and looks very eerie in the early morning.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and fell down from the stone sculpture of the fountain.

"Can you feel Nina's bracelet?" Luo Ling asked.

Xiao Chen stretched out a little finger, pinched the upper section and said: "With only a little feeling, I can sense her existence, but I can't judge the direction. I need a large array to enhance my perception. I need to ask you to borrow a few people. Make this magic circle."

Xiao Chen waved to Banos, who quickly walked forward and asked: "Master Xiao Chen, do you need anything?"

"Do you mind if I borrow a piece of your space in this town to set up a formation?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Of course, as long as I can help you, it will be my honor. What's more, this place is almost the same as the Borderlands." Banos bent down and said, "I also have a few mages here, although their strength is not as strong as yours." It’s a long way to go, but do you need their help?”

Xiao Chen said: "No need. We are already very grateful for allowing us to use the teleportation array to get here and for showing us the way."

"Don't dare, don't dare, then you have to do your work first." Banos stepped aside.

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling stood in the square. Xiao Chen stretched out a finger, touched Luo Ling's forehead, and told Luo Ling the structure of the magic circle through the bridge of souls. The latter closed her eyes and thought. After a minute or two, he nodded, which meant that he understood the structure of the formation.

Then figures began to appear around the two of them. On Xiao Chen's side were Tasia and Elena, while Luo Ling was surrounded by more than a dozen mages. After these mages appeared, they began to tacitly draw patterns and place crystals on the square, and soon a large magic circle took shape.

Banos looked on with admiration in his heart. He couldn't understand how these people appeared at all, but simply thought Xiao Chen and the others were very powerful. But Ravi, the mage assistant beside him, was shocked. He could feel the magic fluctuations that had not been transmitted just now, but these mages actually appeared.

"What's wrong?" Baños asked when he saw Ravi's dull eyes.

"The strength of these Chinese people is too terrifying. Even my teacher, Master Banderas, cannot do this. Let a group of mages appear silently and make so many people draw so fast as if they have one mind. The same magic circle." Ravi held his chin and shook his head vigorously, "Only a mage can understand the incredible thing about it."

"Do you also think they are more powerful than the Earl?" Banos asked.

Ravi nodded.

"Isn't that great?" Baños said softly, "Fortunately, they are strong enough and are here again. Now we can finally get on the line."

Ravi immediately came back to his senses and said, "Are you ready to give up the Count's side and defect to the Chinese?"

"If you don't surrender to the Chinese, are you waiting for the people from the Temple of Nature to come to Gronia City and crush our little city defense team?" Baños sighed, "I don't want to betray Miss Selinda either. But, The battle between Count Carlos's main force and the Natural Temple felt like an egg hitting a stone. Such a good situation collapsed in an instant. But look at what the Chinese are doing to shake the black wood guarded by the emperor. Guan, they also forced the Saint back and killed the Emperor. Only people with their strength can resist the Temple of Nature!"

"I know, it's just...it would be nice if they could help the Earl." Ravi said regretfully.

"Who said the distance between them is too far?" Banos said, "But then again, in this kind of competition between kings, there is usually only one winner in the end. Now friends may become Tomorrow’s enemy, this time it was the Temple of Nature who took action and defeated the count, which may be a lucky thing for the Chinese. "

"However, Mr. Xiao Chen seems to have no time to listen to you." Ravi said.

"Isn't this Mr. Chen from Alano City?" Banos said.

Seeing Chen Hansheng looking at the ruins around him, he stepped forward and said directly: "Mr. Chen, I need your help."

"oh?"

"I want Gronia City to come under the jurisdiction of Alara. Otherwise, in a few days at most, it will become a dead city like this town." Banos said.

"Are you going to use our power to fight against the Temple of Nature?" Chen Hansheng already had a premonition of what he was going to say.

"No, not for help, but to completely hand over this city to you." Baños said in a sincere tone, "I am only guarding this place for Miss Selinda, and I do not have enough power to defend this city. Rather than letting it fall into the hands of Miss Selinda's enemies, it is better to hand it over to you. Not only that, there are many towns around that Miss Selinda has conquered. I think their managers should be sober enough. You will make the same choice as me.”

"You can think so for the ordinary people in the city. It can be said that you are sincere. This matter needs to be discussed with Chairman Xiao Chen." Chen Hansheng patted Baños on the shoulder and said, "But I guess his answer should be It's 'good'."
