The night was dark, but Li Jia's room was still lit with lights.

Li Jia's eyes widened, but his eyes wandered away from the sky, his hands froze in the air, trembling slightly. The whole person is like a piece of rotten wood that is about to be blown down by the wind. Isolated in the middle of the wilderness.

Xiao Chen held the wine glass, looked at his expression quietly, and secretly laughed in his heart that he couldn't hold his breath, but said quite sincerely: "Alas, I don't know how the earl has such a strange idea, maybe this is the feudal patriarch's style." But I didn't say yes to him. ”

Li Jia was stunned for a while, then rubbed his face with his hand and muttered, "It's not strange, it's not strange, it's strange, it's strange." ”

"Hey, are you okay?" Watching Li Jia's marionette-like movements, Xiao Chen asked.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. I'm just recalling what he said to me before. I've figured it out a little bit now. Hehe, I didn't expect that in the end, I traveled to another world, and I was still looked down upon. ”

"Don't look down on you at every turn, you guy, can you be confident. Xiao Chen couldn't stand Li Jia's bitter gourd face, "In your previous life, you were also a graduate student of a prestigious university, and this time you became a magician again, don't make such a pitiful look." ”

"It's not that you don't understand! Back in the day, everybody thought I was just a cowardly and useless nerd. In addition to good grades in school, what else can I do, those girls are too lazy to take care of me!" Li Jia finally recovered from her sluggish appearance and said indignantly.

"You can prove to them that you're not, and I know you're sometimes clever enough to get things done. The last time I did business with those guys in Floro Town, you didn't contribute a lot. Besides, you are still the only one in the school who has soaked in beautiful women in this different world!" Xiao Chen comforted.

"It's just a coincidence. Selinda herself said that she approached me at first just to spy on intelligence. ”

"But you take her down, eat the typical sugarcoating, and send the cannonballs away. ”

"What's the use of this!" Li Jia's voice became louder, "I want to marry her, but her father doesn't look down on me!"

He snatched the wine glass from Xiao Chen's hand and poured the rest of the wine into his mouth, the sweet fruit wine choked on his throat, making him cough uncontrollably.

"Ahem. Li Jia coughed for a while before he came to his senses, he raised his face that was red from anger, and roared, "I was just thinking about why I arrived half a month earlier than you, and that old guy never talked to me about practical things." Why is his attitude towards me always lukewarm. He just thinks I can't do it! This old fox is too treacherous!"

"It's just a different stance. You don't have to say that about him. How can you say that he is still your father-in-law? Xiao Chen said.

"He looked down on my strength. He thinks you're much better than me. That's why I want to marry you. These shameless aristocrats only know the immediate interests. I have obviously awakened the power of magic, but my strength is not enough now, so won't I be able to do it in the future? He actually abandoned me like this!" Li Jia roared a few times, and began to gasp for breath because of his emotion.

He walked around the room in a rage, trying to smash the glass in his hand to the floor several times, but finally put the glass on the table.

"Smash it, smash it, if you smash the earl, you have to buy a new one, no matter what, we make a small profit. Xiao Chen chuckled.

"Why aren't you in a hurry? Li Jia said angrily.

"I wonder if you're by the Earl, or drunk to death because you drank a little wine, will it be cheaper for me. How can I say that Celinda is an old and exotic beauty, and she doesn't lose anything with me, what is my urgency?" Xiao Chen took a leisurely sip of wine and asked rhetorically.

"You're still saying that!"

"Okay, do you want to hear about what's going on?"

"Don't talk nonsense! tell me, what did you say in the end?"

"Before I tell you, let me ask you a question. Xiao Chen sat up straight and asked, "If the earl insists on his opinion, he will not let Selinda marry you." The school is in desperate need of the Earl's support and is therefore unwilling to stiffen the relationship for you, so what will you do?"

"I, I'm ......" Li Jia seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and suddenly calmed down, "I can't afford to hide, since you all have to get along with me, I'll take Selinda away!"

"Where are you going? Are you sure she'll go with you? Are you sure you can feed her? Are you sure you can escape to a new place and start your life?"

"There is no end to it. ”

"And what about the school, what if the Count breaks with us, and then he wants to return to his land, even if he goes to war?"

"This ......" Li Jia wanted to say a few cruel words at first, but when he seriously went through the current situation in his mind a few times, his expression began to become lonely, he held his face in his hands, and sat down slowly, "I...... I don't know. ”

"If the Earl, the school, and everyone say that as long as I marry Selinda, these things won't happen, will you really jump out against it?"

Li Jia refused to speak for a long time, but slowly lowered her head, "I...... I don't really know. ”

Xiao Chen looked at him for a long time, and when he saw that he stopped talking, he said coldly: "Cowardice, where is the previous temper?"

Li Jia glanced up at Xiao Chen and said, "You said it, the school needs his support, I, I can't force everyone's business." What if it affects everyone's survival?"

"That's a terrible reason. It's like the Earl lobbied me. Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "If you want to, work hard, don't be afraid of pressure, you are afraid of wolves and tigers, what can you do?"

Li Jia was a little stunned, he wiped his face a few times with his hand, looked up and said, "You're right." It's me who is confused. ”

Xiao Chen continued: "I rejected the earl at that time, and I told him clearly, 'If any of us will marry Selinda, that person will only be Li Jia. If Li Jia marries Selinda, it is not because we use them as bargaining chips for marriage, but because they love each other. Of course, the Count laughed at my naivety, but I have done everything in my power to convince the Count that you are a man who is qualified to marry her.

"I ...... Alas, I'm probably really useless. You're very well said, though. Li Jia said in a low voice.

Xiao Chen stood up, patted Li Jia on the shoulder and said, "In front of huge interests." Marriage is unreliable after all. All we have to do now is to hold the Count steady and give us enough time to settle down, and if a marriage you already desire will make him trust us even more, it will kill two birds with one stone. It's just that this marriage is not necessarily a good thing, and it may give you a huge test. I'm a little worried now, will you regret this choice when you face a lot of pressure later?

"Tremendous pressure?"

"We grew up in a completely different society than here. Our ideas, our ideas are out of step with the people here. If we survive, we will be the challengers of the order, and all the beneficiaries of the old order will be our enemies. Unless we are willing to give up our cherished concepts, we can be a screw of feudal society with peace of mind, and we will pay tribute to the high-ranking and whip the lowly. Xiao Chen said slowly, his words revealing a sense of historical heaviness, "I know that some of us can do this, and we are not ashamed of it at all. But I can't do it, Principal Guo can't do it, Luo Ling can't do it either, what about you?"

"I, I will not be a feudal lord, but will do what you did, to liberate them. I'm not used to the aristocrats' complete disregard for the commoners, and I've been very kind to the inhabitants since I arrived here, but ...... Sometimes they are too scared of me. Li Jia replied.

Xiao Chen immediately asked, "Didn't you notice? You've only been here for more than half a month, and you're already accustomed to facing civilians who bow and kneel for you." Not to mention, you will grow into a powerful magician, and your status and power over others will keep you on high ground. I don't say you can imagine how difficult it is to be in a high position and not look down at people. Are you really that confident?"

Li Jia was shocked, the cold sweat behind his back had flowed, he knew that he was not a strong-willed person, and the feeling of being a human being was too wonderful. The deference that everyone has shown to him these days has made him get used to the feeling. 'Power is more seductive than beauty and spirits,' rang in his head what the Count had said one day.

"What's more, when the time comes, you will be a member of the feudal lord's family, if Selinda at that time wants you to 'look like a lord and take good care of those untouchables?', what will you do?"

"I ......" Li Jia couldn't help but hesitate.

"I don't want you to end up metamorphosing and degrading and becoming a high and nasty ghost because of her relationship. ”

"I, I'm going to try to change her, whatever you say, we all represent something more advanced. I don't know what you guys think of Selinda. But I could feel that she was a kind person at heart. Li Jia said solemnly.

"But if we inevitably break with the Count in the end, this pressure from both sides is what you have to bear. This is not just a splint gas, maybe a real life-and-death decision. Do you figure it out?"

Li Jia was silent, Xiao Chen was not anxious, but slowly waited for him to understand, from Xiao Chen's heart, he was contradictory, he never felt that Selinda was a good match, but Li Jia's heart for her was as clear as a torch in the night......

"I can't promise anything, I just know that if I don't fight for it now, then I will regret it for the rest of my life. Even if I were to degenerate into someone I despised, I would not be able to give it up. Li Jia raised her head and said.

Xiao Chen looked at Li Jia for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, and after a long time, he said: "I understand, since this is the case, let's find a way to let you get enough strength as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Chen got up and opened his duffel bag and took out a heavy book from it.
