It was late at night, and most of the people had already entered their tents, and only the sentries were still patrolling around the camp.
Xiao Chen and Li Jia were sitting in a corner with faint fire, where they could clearly see the movement of Selinda’s tent.
The tent was not too thick, and a hazy candlelight came from inside to cast Selinda’s silhouette on the tent. Li Jia was able to tell that she was meditating. For the magic knight, magic cultivation was as important as physical cultivation.
He admired Selinda’s perseverance and persistence, and seized every time to improve his strength. God rewards hard work, but hard work is always a minority. Therefore, people with such spirit will be awe-inspiring. This may be the fundamental reason why he is confused in front of her.
According to Xiao Chen, the safest way to use the charm technique is to wait until Selinda is asleep and cast spells through the tent. Even if this fails, Selinda will not find anything.
Originally, Xiao Chen suggested that they all go back to the tent first and come back in the middle of the night, but Li Jia felt that that would alarm the companions in the tent, and it would be hard to explain clearly when they were hit by the sentry. It would be better to pretend that they would have to have a long talk all night and go as soon as possible. So, the two of them waited for the opportunity here after dinner.
The so-called charm is to connect the caster to the sense of pleasure and establish a favorable feeling beyond reason. If you feel particularly happy and comfortable when you see someone, you will naturally fall in love with him. This mysterious spiritual change is difficult to explain scientifically, so what Li Jianon did not do was to understand the essence of this magic, but to review the rune model in his mind over and over again.
So far, Li Jia has not even been charmed by a rabbit, but he still has Xiao Chen. The power of the Gregorio version of the charm spell is that the charm effect can be not limited to the caster himself.
It was a bit nervous. Li Jia wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes and looked at Xiao Chen involuntarily. The cat was still sticking to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen was afraid that it would make noise, so he picked it up and put it in his arms. He was looking at the woods in the distance in a daze.
“Xiao Chen, what do you think?”
Xiao Chen looked a little solemn: “You don’t know that when I came here last time, I came here and stayed in a small village called Phoenix. The people in the village were very enthusiastic and held a bonfire party for us. That night, Luo Ling was dancing with them in her costume, and the girls, boys and children were all around her. Alas, it was like a group of happy birds. The scene was so beautiful.”
“So you missed a girl. What’s the matter? Are you going to meet me soon?” Li Jia thought Xiao Chen was suffering from lovesickness.
“Do you know why we live in the wilderness?”
“Near the road?”
“Because there was no one left in that village. They were all killed by horse thieves…”
“This… horse thieves are too cruel.”It was unexpected that Li Jia looked at Xiao Chen’s face and found that his eyes were red. He quickly comforted him, “Fortunately, it’s all over, and we’ve avenged them. Don’t be sad.”
Xiao Chen wiped his eyes and smiled bitterly, “You’re out of your mind. I’m not so sentimental. Although I sympathize with them, it’s not like this. These are all sequelae of magic. In order to track the horse thieves, I read the soul memories of these dead people. Their feelings are still affecting me now. Since I came here in the evening, I have felt sad to return to the broken home.”
Li Jia didn’t know what to say for a moment, and he was about to cast the magic on the person he loved the most. Seeing Xiao Chen’s appearance, I felt worried.
“Magic is really magical and dangerous. Especially for people like me who are restless mentally, it is more likely to have some unpredictable consequences.” Xiao Chen stroked the hair on the black cat’s body, and the cat gently licked his hand, “There is already a sequelae here, do you understand?”
Li Jia looked at Xiao Chen’s red eyes and became habitually entangled, and said stutteringly: “But I am really afraid that she will leave me. You don’t know how sad I felt when she said she wanted to find a hero. I know that I can’t become a hero. I am just an ordinary person, but I really like her. Do you know that feeling? Because I like her, I even like this world?”
Xiao Chen smiled, “I saw the bad poems you wrote before, and you knew that you were a kind of indulgent love.”
“Xiao Chen, just say what should I do, right? I believe you.”
Xiao Chen took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it to Li Jia and caught it, “I want me to carry the burden for you? No way. Please beg God.”
Li Jia held the gold coin and nodded, “Okay! Then… go to the front.”
The gold coin flipped, and fell back up in his hand.
“Two wins in three games!” Li Jia gritted her teeth.
In the end, he made up his mind with the result of five wins in nine games…
Selinda’s tent had been extinguished and there was no movement. Xiao Chen and Li Jia squatted in a corner two meters away from the tent and prepared.
“Listen, try it first later. If it doesn’t work, I’ll do it again.” Xiao Chen told softly.
