There was silence, a long silence, and finally, it was Ferdinand who spoke first: "Haha! Maybe I'm too greedy! If you reject me, then let me never say anything!"

Situ Jin also opened his mouth: "I'm a person, and I don't have any concept of identity and level, so in my heart, you are still the Warren I know." ”

Although Situ Jin was calm from beginning to end when he said this, when Ferdinand heard these words, he could not calm down, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes: "So, you treat me as a friend?"

Situ Jin shrugged: "Well, I just still use you as my adjutant." ”

If someone else said this to a prince, then don't think about it, he will definitely die. But Situ Jin's words made Ferdinand extremely happy, in fact, this was the first time since he was born that he felt happy from the bottom of his heart: "Situ, thank you!" Ferdinand said from the bottom of his heart.

Then, I don't know what came to mind, Ferdinand's face darkened: "I'm still too hypocritical, I say that I want to be friends with you on the one hand, but on the other hand, I have already taken advantage of you, it seems that you are right, people in the royal family are indeed not qualified to be friends with others!"

"You mean my marriage to your imperial sister, right?" to Ferdinand's surprise, Situ Jin took the initiative to speak.

Ferdinand looked at Situ Jin, obviously not expecting him to say this sentence so easily, wanting to say something to explain, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Situ Jin said with a disapproving face: "I said, there is no need to explain! Each of us will face all kinds of choices from birth, no matter which path we choose, no one else is qualified to evaluate the path we have chosen, and even more so ourselves! No matter what happens in the outside world or what others say, we must not doubt our choice, only in this way can we reach the end!" It's the same with you, since you've already chosen a path, then there's no need to care about what I think, just keep going. ”

After listening to Situ Jin's words, Ferdinand didn't speak, as if he was thinking about what Situ Jin meant by what he said, after a long time, he raised his head and said to Situ Jin: "Situ, since I met you, I have been thinking about a question, you are such a talented person, why does Earl Situ Nan always choose to turn a blind eye to your son?"

"Don't say that. Situ Jin said lightly: "My younger brother Situ Kai is much better than me." ”

"Hmph!" As soon as Situ Jin finished speaking, Ferdinand let out a disdainful snort: "If I hadn't known you, I might have believed this opinion, but now I don't dare to agree." Of course, I don't deny that Situ Kai is also very good, but compared to you, I think he is far behind. ”

"You exalt me too much, Second Emperor" Situ Jin was just halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Ferdinand: "If you don't dislike it, call me Ferdinand directly in the future." ”

Situ Nan habitually raised his eyebrows: "Okay, Ferdinand." ”

Finally getting his wish, Ferdinand smiled a big smile at Situ Jin.

Situ Jin felt that this action was a bit naïve, but he didn't say anything.

After a long time, Ferdinand suddenly spoke: "Situ, I know that you don't want to marry my imperial sister. After a pause, Ferdinand continued: "Although the imperial sister seems cold and ruthless, she is actually a very good woman. ”

Situ Jin did not speak.

Ferdinand smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Situ, let's make an agreement!"

"What agreement?" asked Situ Jin.

The smile that had been hanging on Ferdinand's face was gone, replaced by a very serious expression: "No matter what happens between you and my imperial sister in the future, I hope that her will not affect our friendship!"

Situ Jin had an indifferent expression: "What will happen between me and your imperial sister!? There is no need for this agreement to be made at all, right?"

Ferdinand still looked certified: "Anyway, just promise me?!"

Situ Jin shook his head and said helplessly: "Whatever you want!"

Ferdinand smiled at Situ Jin, and then said: "Situ, you are a man I truly recognize! No matter what happens in the future, I will always treat you with the etiquette of a friend, this is a promise I make to you!" These words were said by Ferdinand to Situ Jin, but it was more like what he said to himself.

Situ Jin raised his eyebrows, still looking unconcerned.

The brief meeting with the second prince Ferdinand ended like this, and before leaving, Ferdinand gave Situ Jin a platinum card from the Imperial Club, although this thing was not very useful in Situ Jin's opinion, but considering the face of the second prince, he still chose to take it.

Then, as when he came, Situ Jin returned home in the same carriage that had been used to pick him up when he had come.

I have to say that since he heard about the strength of the Downton Empire and the arrest of Anthony from Xiu, Situ Jin has always had a very anxious feeling in his heart, this anxiety comes from the pressure that arises when he learns that he is about to face a behemoth, and on the other hand, it comes from the powerlessness that he knows that the other party has captured his own people, but he can't do anything and can't do anything.

Yes, all because his own strength is too weak!

Before, Situ Jin wanted to become stronger, but that was only because he was unwilling to live an ordinary life. And now, the heart of wanting to become stronger has not changed, but it is much more urgent than before, and the domineering actions of the Downton Empire have completely angered Situ Jin, and it has also made him understand one thing more, that is, if there is no strength, then he can only be slaughtered by others, not to mention what people or things he wants to protect that are important to him.

As soon as he returned to the room, Situ Jin took the heavy sword out of the storage ring, after a period of persistent cultivation of strength, he was now able to lift this heavy sword with one hand without using that wonderful power, although the time still could not be maintained for too long, but it was also a big breakthrough for Situ Jin.

Originally, he wanted to take his time and finally take the epee with him through little by little practice, but now his extreme thirst for power made him change his mind, and he decided not to wait, but to take the hard way. From now on, whether it was with one hand or with both hands, whether with his own strength or that wonderful power, he would always hold this heavy sword in his hand.

There is also the formation talisman, although Situ Jin has been studying and cracking the formation talisman on the second floor of the Purple Pagoda recently, and has also written down a lot of new array talismans, but now he suddenly feels that his progress is very slow.

According to Situ Jin's understanding, in the mainland of Ceylon, the formation talisman is a relatively popular profession, the starting point of this profession is not too high, at least compared to being a magician, it is much simpler, and there are many unknown places on the continent that have array talismans, which also makes many adventurers and speculators devote themselves to this profession, after all, the unknown sometimes represents opportunities.

Of course, the same as magicians and swordsmen, the array runes on the continent also have corresponding ranks, from low to high: small array runes, large array runes, star array runes, yang-level array runes, and king-level array runes.

Although there are only 5 levels of Array Talismans, each level is divided into 10 sub-levels. Don't look at the fact that there are many array runes on the mainland, but I am afraid that the array runes who have really reached the star level or above can be counted with ten fingers, and the path of the formation runes is indeed much easier to walk than the magic road, but it does not mean that this road is easy to walk.

Situ didn't know what level of formation talisman master he was, and he didn't think about testing it, at the moment he just wanted to study all the array talisman diagrams on the second floor as soon as possible, and then open the tower door to the third layer, and then open the fourth layer tower door, so that he could get the good sword that Lele said, and then he would have one more bargaining chip in his hand to compete with the Downton Empire.
