Throne Steps

Chapter 108 The Reunion of Black and White

After Amoya went down the mountain, the floor was also installed and debugged within two days.To be honest, it doesn’t take a day to inlay an ordinary floor, but this time there are a lot of tricks, and in order to add color to Fuzhao’s grace, the people left by Amoya and Candulla and his party just spent almost two days. The last batch of magic crystals supporting it is only a test.Anyway, Amoya is rich and powerful, and a few floors can still support it. If it is not good enough, there is also the magic crystal mine in Samir.

In the last two days of April, a large amount of supplies for Fuzhao Grace arrived, and the black swan even got two new uniforms.There were two female officers around Li Chen to clean up, and they didn't pay much attention to the details of this matter. It was not until Fudexi asked with a strange look that Li Chen took a closer look at the newly issued uniform.

One set has black stripes on a white background, and you can tell it is light and breathable when you touch it. With a drape, you can spend the summer comfortably and resist the cold summer night mountain wind.But although the things are good, after all, it is still approaching May, and the summer is not hot at all. In addition, the black swan is full of mercenaries who are not afraid of the cold and heat, so there is no need to start wearing summer clothes so early.

This is also the reason why Fudexi felt weird.However, Black Swan is not completely devoid of factors that make the summer clothes advance. At least after thinking about it for a while, Fu Dexi went directly to Li Chen to "taunt".

Li Chen completely forgot that he had rolled up his sleeves for a long time on the previous holiday, so he asked Khorkina casually.The blond female officer responded with a correct attitude that this is a common practice, and she didn't mention the fact that she had sent a letter to urge her to ask for a summer dress.

The two elders, Li Chen and Fudexi, couldn't raise any doubts about the saying that the seasonal clothes should be in place in advance, and could only acquiesce.It's just that Fudexi is fine, and Li Chen has another huge question.

"This suit...isn't what I thought it was?"

Another newly arrived uniform is different from Xia Tian's. Although Xia Tian has black stripes to represent a black swan, it is pure white for the base.And the set that Li Chen is pointing at now is actually a gold-edged pattern on a black background.It is not entirely true to say that it is pure black. When you look closely, you can see that there are fine patterns embroidered with black bright thread on the skirt, which are connected with the gold pattern on the side.Flicking back and forth against the light, it is the pattern of flying feathers, with the shadow of a black swan faintly.

Even Li Chen had nothing to say after reading this structure, let alone Fu Dexi.If Li Chen could experience more ordinary life in his previous life, he would definitely say that the designer had the second disease.

This set of clothes looked too formal, far beyond the previous standard, and even surpassed the daily standard of the Saenz mansion and approached the formal dress.There is only one reason to send this dress here at this time - the black swan wants to wear this dress when it is showing grace!

The pure white color of brushing grace wears black?Not crazy.When Wiggins was wearing red, he was watched by crowds. Wouldn't he be dragged out and beaten to death if he wore black?

Of course, there is a kind of black that can avoid this difficulty - the color of warehouse black.

The color of warehouse black is not very involved in the struggles of other colors, and it doesn't even have a high sense of presence in Raetia, but when they are mentioned, people always think of alchemists with eccentric tempers.Moreover, the color of Cang Hei can never escape from the world, and it is also the eternal color hand-picked after the "Human Agreement". If it appears directly in black on Fuzhao's Grace, it will inevitably make people wonder about the relationship between Saenz and the color of Cang Hei. imagination.

Now that the clothes are in place, it is natural that Saenz nodded, and it is impossible for Li Chen to be stupid enough to question his meaning.Anyway, in another half a month, Saenz himself will get a seat, and it will be too late to ask more questions at that time, so let's let the curiosity boil for now.

Half a month passed in a flash, and the grace of Fuzhao came in a blink of an eye.Three days before the ceremony, Saenz himself and his guard of honor arrived at Zoya Tyumen. The "City in the Sky" is built on a small land, and it is not cramped because of its small population. Now that Saenz's big battle is coming, the people don't know whether they are scared or blind.

Although Sarn had brought the sea blue color Belen Meloye and the silver vermilion color Cervantes Johe passing by here before, but the special formation of Fuzhao Grace is not the same.Crown canopy, horse riding team, pure white and gold are intertwined, and the accompanying team is dignified and dignified.If it weren't for most of this group of people only camping outside the city, the small city in the sky might not be able to properly receive them.

But even if they only stayed in Zoya Tyumen for one day, Saenz also instructed some of them to parade on the main streets of the city twice.Although to put it bluntly, it means walking from the camp outside the city to the mansion where Saenz stayed in the city, and then walking back to the camp from the mansion, but the arrangement of the saintesses and magicians is subtle, and each performs their duties. The purification formation has benefited all the people on the roadside.In his early years, Li Chen had heard of the behavior of Fu Zhao'en's men and horses in the places they passed, and he jokingly called it "sweeping the map".

The purification formation is of the same origin as the negative healing formation commonly used in temples, and the feeling of receiving the body is very similar.Although the people of Zhuoya Qiumen have participated in the grace of blessing in other places, it is the first time to receive grace locally, and they have a real experience of "protecting this place with the power of treasures".When Saenz was about to go out of the city to the Ainuma Shrine early the next morning, the people who gathered and followed increased in conspicuousness again.

Just like a pilgrimage, it is not uncommon for people to follow the pure white procession all the way to the temple, but Zhuoya Qiuming is so close to the newly completed temple, the people here have very little pressure to follow, and they can predict people's movements.But even though Zhuoya Qiuming's city lord had already prepared for this in advance, the number of people fanatically chasing out of the city still exceeded expectations, and there were even a large number of people from other places gathering outside the city.Such a rapid increase in the number of people, Rao Zhuoya Qiuming's city lord could not command it with eight hands.Fortunately, Saenz had already expected it. On the one hand, he coordinated the manpower from nearby towns to help, and on the other hand, he also sent some guards and mercenaries to assist secretly.

In any case, when Saenz left the city again, the crowd could almost fill the entire road to Ainuma.If it weren't for the fact that the guard of honor centered on Saenz's car and radiated several rows in four directions, Saenz might really be going to the Ainuma Temple surrounded by the crowd.

After leaving Zhuoya Qiumen for about a quarter of an hour, the chief guard drove his horse close to Saenz's car, knocked on the window and reported in a low voice, and then slowly followed the carriage to wait for a response.

Inside the car, the female officer with chestnut hair and oval face reported respectfully to Saenz: "The 'Black Swan' and their party are about half a mile away from the main road."

Saenz was not wearing a heavy and luxurious robe and drape in the carriage, nor was he wearing a classic pure white smile. He only half-lidded his eyelids and rubbed his teacup: "Who leads the team?"

The female officer replied: "Li Chen."

Saenz said, "Let them come here."

The female officer hesitated for a while, then said: "The 'Black Swans' collectively wore new black uniforms."

Saenz was puzzled for a moment, and then immediately remembered what kind of uniform the female officer said.It is true that he himself decided on the style of this outfit with some subtle thoughts, and it all depends on how Li Chen will respond.Now it seems that Lichen wants to find a new way, and Saenz naturally can't just "admit defeat" like this.

The Highness repeated: "Let them come here."

The female officer took the order to convey, and the chief guard took the order, and drove the horse forward again.

As a result, the people who clustered on both sides of the main road and dressed in white celebration costumes watched a dark team gradually approach Saenz's guard of honor.

To say it is dark is not necessarily the case.It's just that these twenty or so people are all dressed in black formal dresses and black horses. Only the hands holding the reins are wearing white gloves on their whole bodies. , this group of seemingly hostile visitors really gave the audience a negative pressure.

It was Li Chen who sat on the black horse facing him.Before receiving the pass from the head of the guard, he raised his chin slightly and half-closed his eyes. It wasn't until the procession reached the side of the guard of honor that he gradually lowered his head to show respect.These people did not get off their horses, but under Li Chen's lead, they took off their top hats and held them with their left hands to show their respect.At this time, the hair colors that were originally covered by the top hats appeared one after another. On the one hand, it made the dark atmosphere a little more relaxed, and on the other hand, it also made Li Chen's double black more conspicuous.

Ordinarily, Fudexi has also become a double black since he lost the source of magic power. Li Chen would not be so conspicuous in the black swan, but today the two behind him are neither Akye nor Fudexi.One of the two ostensibly in charge is the former Lone Wolf Department, and the other is the "Son of the Curse", it is really inappropriate to appear on such an occasion.Especially Fudexi, it is quite troublesome for him to stay in the temple full of light magic circles all day long. If he is still brought to the pure white teacher of light, no amount of inhibitors will be able to help him. .

Facing this group of people whose clothes and expressions are contrary to the theme of "Showing Grace", although the onlookers will not discuss face to face, they look at each other with strong doubts and inquiries. "Black Swan" didn't care about this. After saluting, Li Chen raised his right hand, and the man on the right behind him immediately hung his hat on the saddle, dismounted, and took out a box from behind the team.The box was about one foot square, with black gold edging—the same tune as the uniforms of this group of people—it was probably made of metal.Attached to the box was a stamped task document that seemed to be issued by the Mercenary Union, and the two items were sent to the head of the guard who came to deliver the message.

"This is a gift for His Royal Highness Saen Swagcheno Saenlich." Li Chen smiled and lowered his head, "We all admire and respect Your Highness. Your Highness takes a seat in the new hall, and personally 'blows According to 'Here, just use this as a congratulations, and express my heart."

Seeing his pretentious appearance, the chief guard really had nothing to say.But since Li Chen pretended not to be familiar with him, he could only follow the business-like route.He was still riding on the white horse, and replied with a gentle smile: "Thank you for your generosity. It's a little regrettable, but for safety reasons, can I take the liberty to read the content first?"

"Why not? We are also happy to open this lovely metal box in front of the public. Because we believe that it not only has the weight to present to His Highness, but also can be used as a gift to the public when the 'Grace of Sunshine' comes. Li Chen took a few steps forward on his horse, drew out his ceremonial saber, and stabbed the paper on the top of the box with a sword, "As you can see, we responded to the call of the mercenary union to eradicate the evil people, and we got it." results today."

The person holding the box helped Li Chen stab the paper on the sword, and Li Chen then handed it to the head of the guard.Even though this movement was already slanted to indicate that it would not hurt anyone, but throwing a sword at a martial arts practitioner with strong combat strength is really provocative. Even if the chief guard will not take action to teach Li Chen, he does not want to talk to him.As soon as he turned his gaze, he could understand that this was indeed a mission document issued by the mercenary guild, with a clear portrait, a heavy bounty, and a long-term release date.This person's notoriety in the local area is comparable to that of the lone wolf back then.

Just when the chief guard was about to glance at the content, Li Chen handed the sword edge to him again, and raised his eyebrows with a smile that was not friendly: "You can take it, it will be convenient to check later. "

check?The chief guard took down the official document, looked at the description on the official document twice more, and finally stopped his gaze thoughtfully on the most prominent verification condition—the portrait.

Li Chen noticed that he seemed to realize something, maintained a slight smile, and retracted the saber into the scabbard with a "clang": "Open the box!"

The chief guard, as well as the people around who were silently paying attention to this place, couldn't help but look at the slowly opened lid——

A head!
