When Li Jia left the communication room, a figure flashed into the rooms. It was Nina. The mage who was in charge of the communication array looked up at her and nodded as if nothing had happened.
Nina said, "Sokka, help me get through to Mr. Xiao Chen."
Mage Sokka 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 doesn't look good." Sokka said as he activated the formation, "If possible, please talk to Lord 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 part first," Nina said.
Sokka said: "After all, you are the one who can directly contact His Excellency Xiao Chen. He must trust you."
"Trust me?" Nina smiled bitterly. "He just made sure that I knew how powerful he was. But I do know what choice I should make."
Nina recalled the time when Xiao Chen transformed the world for her in her meditation space like a god. She felt that there was an inexplicable connection between her and him. Since then, Xiao Chen has given her guidance and transformation several times, which has allowed her, who originally had no qualifications, to step into the realm of a mid-level mage little by little. She has a sense of awe and gratitude towards Xiao Chen, and even a little admiration that she dare not think about. She knows very well that if the man wants, he can deprive her of everything she has again and turn her into a little maid with nothing.
Although her power was known only to a few people, even Serinda and Li Jia knew nothing about it, and she had almost no chance to use it normally, the feeling of mastering magic was so attractive.
Since Xiao Chen gave her the task of monitoring Serinda, she had been working diligently and quietly. With the help of the intelligence department, she developed a network in Serinda's team and recruited several key figures to her side. These people included the mage in charge of communications, Serinda's guards, and officers in the army. With the resources and money secretly provided by the Tower of China, she was almost invincible.
Nina would seriously report any unusual behavior of Serinda to Xiao Chen. However, in most cases, Xiao Chen just silently received these messages and never gave any specific instructions, which sometimes made Nina feel very disappointed. Until today, the bracelet he gave her began to heat up, which was a signal that he had something for her to do.
Nina was nervous and looking forward to it.
The communication array was connected again, and Xiao Chen's voice came from the other end, "Who is calling?"
"Sir, it's me, Nina. I received your notification on the bracelet, so I immediately found a way to contact you." Nina said respectfully.
"Tell me again the information your father brought. Don't miss any details." Xiao Chen said.
"yes!"
After listening to Nina's story, Xiao Chen realized that the situation might be more serious than Li Jia described. Not only was the Earl in danger, but the city of Lagos itself was also in danger. This seemingly peaceful city was actually like a lamb being targeted by a pack of wolves, and could be pounced on and bitten to death by wolves at any time.
He said, "I'm going to give you a task now."
"Please go ahead."
"Bring Li Jia to me!" Xiao Chen said.
"Is Mr. Li Jia willing?" Nina asked.
"No, but that's not important. 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 Sokka, who immediately came to the communication array and said, "Sir Xiao Chen, this is Sokka. The teleportation array in Lagos City was destroyed in the fire. We can't repair it for now. If you want to teleport, the most feasible way is to go to Groya 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 an imperial city, and 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 from Green Forest City to pick him up." Xiao Chen said.
"Yes." Nina and Sokka answered in unison. —————————
Serinda acted very quickly and quickly selected ten of the most capable knights and mages under her command. 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 gave him a kiss in the end, then disappeared into the night with a group of knights.
Li Jia looked worriedly in the direction they left and stood in the night for a long time.
At this time, Nina walked over and said to him: "Master Li Jia, my father woke up again and said something. Now you are in charge of this city. Would you like to go with me to listen?"
Li Jia complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! If you had told me there was new information earlier, Serinda wouldn't have left in such a hurry!"
"I'm sorry, Master Li Jia, but my father wasn't awake at that time. I, I just found out about it as well." Nina replied.
Li Jia waved her hand impatiently and said, "Then hurry up."
The two returned to the room where Nina's father was. Li Jia was somewhat 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 with ropes tied crosswise around his body.
Besides 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 Farot, a mid-level officer in the Serinda army. Two of them were wearing guard armor, and they were guards that Li Jia knew, one was called Milo, and the other was called Loreto.
"You are not in your barracks, why are you here?" Li Jia instinctively felt something was wrong when he saw these people.
Sokka on the other side stretched out his hand and released a soundproof barrier and said, "Sir, we are following the orders of Master 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 Master Xiao Chen's men, 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 me? Would I believe such nonsense? Who knows if you are spies from the Temple of Nature?" Li Jia shouted. (To be continued)
