On the Seven Towers

When Li Jia left the communication room, a figure flashed into several rooms. It turned out to be Nina. The mage who was in charge of the communication array looked up at her and nodded.

Nina said: "Soka, help me connect to Mr. Xiao Chen."

Mage Soka said: "Mr. Xiao Chen should not have left the communication room over there. I will connect you right away."

"Thank you for your help."

"The situation this time looks bad." Soka said while activating the array, "If possible, please tell Mr. Xiao Chen about settling us. I don't want to be killed by the army of the Temple of Nature here."

"I know, but we should do our duty first." Nina said.

Soka said, "After all, you are the one who can directly contact Mr. Xiao Chen, so he must trust you."

"Trust?" Nina smiled bitterly, "He just makes sure that I know how powerful he is. However, I do know what choice I should make."

Nina recalled that time in her meditation space, Xiao Chen transformed the world for her like a god, and she felt that there was an inexplicable connection between her and him. Since then, there have been several more times from Xiao Chen's guidance and transformation, which actually allowed her, who originally had no qualifications, to step into the realm of a mid-level mage little by little. She had a kind of awe and gratitude for Xiao Chen, and even a little admiration that she dared not think about. She knew very well that if the man wanted to, he could deprive her of everything she had again and turn her into a little maid with nothing.

Although her power was known to only a few people, even Serinda and Li Jia knew nothing about it, and she had almost no opportunity to exert these powers. But the feeling of mastering magic was really too attractive.

Since Xiao Chen gave her the task of monitoring Serinda, she has been working diligently and quietly. With the help of the intelligence department, she developed a network in Serinda's team and dug several key figures to her side. These people include the mage in charge of communication, Serinda's guards, and officers in the army. With the resources and money secretly provided by the Tower of China, she is almost invincible.

Nina will seriously report to Xiao Chen any unusual behavior of Serinda. However, in most cases, Xiao Chen just silently receives these messages and never gives any specific instructions, which sometimes makes Nina feel very disappointed. Until today, the bracelet he gave her began to heat up, which was a signal that he took the initiative to ask her to do something.

Nina was nervous and looking forward to it.

The communication array was connected again, and Xiao Chen's voice came from the other side again, "Who is calling?"

"My lord, it's me, Nina. I got your notification on the bracelet, so I immediately tried to contact you." Nina said respectfully.

"Tell me the information your father brought again, don't miss any details." Xiao Chen said.

"Yes!"

After listening to Nina's story, Xiao Chen found that the situation might be more serious than Li Jia described. Not only is the Earl in danger now, but the city of Lagos itself is also in danger. This seemingly peaceful city is actually like a lamb targeted by a pack of wolves, and it will be pounced on and bitten to death by wolves at any time.

He said: "I will give you a task now."

"Please tell me."

"Bring Li Jia to me!" Xiao Chen said.

"Is His Excellency Li Jia willing?" Nina asked.

"No, but it doesn't matter. You can use any method you can think of to get him here. Is there a teleportation array available in Lagos City now?"

Nina glanced at Soka, who immediately came to the communication array and said, "Sir Xiao Chen, I'm Soka. The teleportation array in Lagos City was destroyed in the fire. We can't repair it for the time being. If you want to teleport, the most feasible way is to go to Gronia City in the west, or to Macal City in the northwest. These two cities are currently under the control of Miss Serinda."

"The Holy Sword City where I am located was originally a city of the Empire. There is no matching teleportation array that can lead to those two cities. But the teleportation arrays in those two places should be able to lead directly to Green Forest City. You take Li Jia there, and I will naturally contact the people in Green Forest City to pick him up." Xiao Chen said.

"Yes." Nina and Soka responded in unison.

Serinda acted very quickly, and soon selected ten of the most capable masters from her knights and mages. Three hours later, her team had assembled and was ready to set off.

Li Jia was giving her the final persuasion, but no matter what he said, Serinda just shook her head slightly. She finally gave him a kiss and then disappeared into the night with a group of knights.

Li Jia looked at the direction they left with concern and stood in the night for a long time.

At this time, Nina walked over and said to him: "Lord Li Jia, my father woke up again and said something again. Now you are in charge of this city. Would you like to go with me to listen?"

Li Jia complained: "Why didn't you say it earlier! If you had said there was new information earlier, Serinda would not have left so hastily!"

"I'm sorry, Lord Li Jia, but my father hadn't woken up at that time. I, I just found out." Nina replied.

Li Jia waved his hand impatiently and said: "Then go quickly."

The two returned to the room where Nina's father was. Li Jia was a little surprised to find that Holmes was not the only one in the room. Holmes was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed, looking unconscious, but his body was tied with ropes.

In addition to him, there were four other people standing in the room. One of them was the mage Soka who had just helped him host the communication array in the communication room. One of the other three was wearing knight armor, and he was a mid-level officer in the Serinda army, Farot. Two were wearing guard armor, both of whom were guards that Li Jia knew, one named Milo and the other named Loreto.

"You are not in your barracks, why are you here?" Li Jia instinctively felt something was wrong when he saw these people.

Soka on the opposite side stretched out his hand to release a soundproof barrier and said: "Sir, we are following the order of Lord Xiao Chen to escort you away from here overnight."

"What?" Li Jia was very surprised, "How could you be related to Xiao Chen?"

"We have always been Lord Xiao Chen's people, and our mission here is to ensure your safety. The situation here is too dangerous now, it's time for you to evacuate with us."

"Are you kidding? Would I believe such a ridiculous thing? Who knows if you are spies of the Temple of Nature!" Li Jia shouted.
