Throne Steps

Chapter 110

It is like water waves, floating outwards in concentric circles from the soles of Saenz's feet.Saenz glanced down and walked forward without hesitation.The halos of light lit up with his footsteps and spread outward, but they did not disappear immediately, but formed a fading circular light and shadow.The cloak with white background and gold edge passed over the light and shadow, as if the pure white color led a beacon of light, until he was about to enter the inner hall, the first and second circles of light disappeared.

This section of the road was very short, only ten meters in total, and Saenz didn't stop until he had completely entered the inner hall.When he looked back, the aperture had disappeared by a third.Candulla exchanged glances with his superior, and followed him knowingly with two guards.

Following their footsteps, the apertures spread out, overlapped, and covered, some big and some small, and the colorful and flickering apertures are really beautiful.If there are more people stepping on it, maybe a real path of light can be blazed.

Saenz didn't stay on this road for too long. After Kandura came over, His Highness turned around and went to the other side of the inner hall.Candulla was still ready to answer questions about this path, but Saenz didn't mention a word, so Candulla had to hold back his words and follow up with other equipment in the inner hall.

The most important thing in the inner hall—and also the most important thing in “Grace of Sunshine”—is the array structure that can transmit images of treasures, which is equivalent to the ultimate goal of believers participating in “Grace of Sunshine”.In contrast, other negativity elimination formations, no matter how refreshing they are, are less than one-ten-thousandth of the light energy that Zhenbao can transmit.Of course, this "one in [-]" is largely defined from the psychological level. In fact, it is still a mystery how much energy can be transmitted from treasures thousands of miles away.

The metal claws that clamp the magic crystal are extremely strong, and at the same time, the yin and yang carving patterns on the surface are pleasing to the eye, no matter where it is placed in the temple, it is practical and beautiful.It's just that these carvings are not limited to common ritual patterns such as auspicious clouds and flowers, but also interspersed with some words.The characters are outlined in curly script, reflecting and complementing other patterns.If you don't look closely, it's really hard to identify.

This design is obviously different from other temples.Saenz looked at Candulla, and Candulla hurried over to explain.

"These are the works of the cutting-edge poet Farrell." Candulla whispered, "Excerpts from "Children of Light"."

""Children of Light"?" Saenz is well-read and knowledgeable, but in recent years, he has been busy with business affairs, and he really doesn't know much about the works of new poets. "Is it also engraved on the handrail of the mountain road?"

"No. The text on the armrest is from "When the Wind Blows Over Retia." Candulla replied, "It is a joint collection of poems published by the Literary Association last year."

In other words, are they all new works?Saenz thought thoughtfully: "Are there any other engravings used here?"

After all, Candulla came from Saenz's side, and he has been coordinating in the engineering department for so long, so he is naturally one of the best.When asked by his boss, he immediately replied: "There are other places. Send you a list with all references this afternoon?"

Saenz nodded, and asked again: "Does anyone else know about these things?"

"I haven't deliberately publicized it. If someone happens to ask someone who knows it, they will say it, but it shouldn't be asked too much." No publicity or cover-up, just go with it. Not everyone is as careful as Saenz.Candulla thought for a while and added: "But these authors all know it, and so do the publishers."

"Copyright awareness" has not yet emerged in the Raetia Federation, so Saenz is still a little confused: "Talk to them? Are you planning to have a long-term relationship?"

Candulla paused, and replied: "It was Li Chen who mentioned it at the beginning, but it was handed over to Xiao En. I haven't heard about the specific follow-up."

Sean is the nominal scriptwriter of "The Melting Pot Performance". A few years ago, with the help of Amoya, the eldest son of the chamber of commerce, this "witch" successfully entered the literary association.Even if it's just adding a name to the member handbook, and it doesn't necessarily have any other effect, it's okay for Xiao En to have a few words with fellow members.Therefore, Saenz did not doubt how Xiao En used means, and only asked: "Is it Li Chen's idea to carve the poem?"

The magic crystals arranged in a hexagonal shape in the inner hall are special equipment for "brightening grace".The Ainuma Temple has just been completed, and the preparations for Fuzhao Grace continue almost simultaneously with the renovation of the temple.If literary works are quoted in such a wide range, Saenz can definitely think that Li Chen has already tampered with it.

Candulla certainly understands this truth.But these carvings are short and beautiful, with gorgeous fonts, without any magical effects, and are purely for decoration, so it is difficult to attract the attention of ordinary people.Back then when Li Chen and Xiao En teamed up, they kept a secret from each other.By the time Candura received the painting pattern application with a list of works, the pattern carving craftsmen had already started their work.

Compared with the huge decoration project, the pattern of these utensils is really not a big deal.Candura clipped a list in the complicated daily reporting work, and by the time the housekeeper handed it over to Saenz's daily briefing, it had become a sentence.At that time, Saenz was busy paying attention to the rose-colored garrison hanging on the wall at Suoyang's side. Even if he had talked with Lichen about the preparations for "Sunshine Grace", he hadn't paid special attention to it.

The reason why Saenz didn't pay attention when he came last time was because the carving of the works was more difficult than expected, and a considerable part of the works did not catch up with the inauguration ceremony, so ordinary substitutes were used.At that time, some of the decorations that had been carved with characters were difficult to attract people to scrutinize because of the small characters and few supplies.This ignorance lasted for five months.

To say it's really not a big deal.There is no fixed template for the pure white temple, and it is normal to have some characteristics of this and that.Candura originally thought so too, but Saenz was very inquisitive, which caused Candura to wonder if something serious went wrong.

No matter how much he tried to help Li Chen cover up, now that the conversation has come to this point, he can only reply cautiously: "...It should be related to him."

He answered smoothly before, but now he suddenly became cautious in his wording. Saenz couldn't help but glanced at Candulla inquiringly.However, the Third Highness also knew that it was probably his way of asking that gave the person in charge the illusion of "accidentally selling out his teammates".Originally, Saenz didn't think it was a big deal, but such a disturbance made people feel that something was wrong.

At the moment of the stalemate, a guard walked in from the Way of Light: "Your Highness, Li Chen has arrived."

Saenz's expression became half a smile, and he stared at Candura again, then turned and walked towards the path of light.

Say whatever you want. — Candulla, Chief Superintendent of Engineering

When Li Chen was waiting for someone in Saenz's special suite, he didn't know that he had been tricked by his "pig teammate".He was still wearing a black uniform, his short black hair stubble looked very simple, and his dark eyes were piercing.His figure is as tall and straight as a green pine, and he continued the prudence of leading a group to visit the pure white guard of honor at the foot of the mountain, but replaced the saber on the left side of his waist with a short stick hanging on the right side, but he didn't know that this closeness would make Sa Ernes felt that softening was still a violation.

This heavy performance is to match the first problem to be solved - a human head.

Of course, Li Chen knew that he was looking for death if he gave the head to his boss; but according to the plan, he estimated that he would die even worse if he didn't talk about it later.So when the butler opened the door for Saenz, Li Chen didn't bother to start the conversation, and directly bowed to salute.

However, there was no coercion, no accusation, or even any response.The door of the room was shut with a bang.

A gold-rimmed white robe passed by.Because he was not allowed to be exempted from the ceremony, Li Chen could only follow the standard salute angle and followed him twice.

Then, there was silence.

It was uncomfortable for Li Chen to maintain a half-bent posture, but while waiting for Saenz to attack, he was still thinking about countermeasures quickly.This tactic of hanging people to play is too common. If Lichen and Saenz are people of the same status, maybe Lichen will be in a stalemate with the other party, and whoever speaks first will lose.But now it is Saenz who is confronting him, and Li Chen dare not stand still with him.

Words must be spoken, but how to speak is the problem.

After much deliberation, Li Chen still decided to go straight to Huanglong. He opened his mouth and said, "I sincerely welcome you again. I hope you like the gift that 'Black Swan' presents to you."

Saenz was sitting at the desk casually flipping through the daily briefings. Even before Li Chen spoke, he was very at ease and didn't have to think about how to break the deadlock of silence.Children have always been well-proportioned, and Saenz doesn't have to worry too much about it.Even if he sometimes moves his mind, most of the time he guesses what will happen to Li Chen.

As for the fact that sometimes Li Chen will deliberately slow down before speaking, just to make the leader feel that "I am the winner after all", that is another small game.

Right now, Lichen is adopting a straight-to-the-point strategy, and Saenz is not very surprised.The ball was kicked over, and Saenz naturally had a way to kick it back.He sneered, closed the briefing in his hand and threw it aside: "'gift'? That's the wording you thought of."

Li Chen was half-bent to the point of discomfort, but fortunately he was quick-witted and didn't need to spend too much brain cells: "Eliminate the local evil, restore people's safety, and give the temple a more peaceful environment. In my humble opinion, even if this is not The best gift, at least not something that people will forget after seeing it."

"Won't you 'forget it'?" Saenz clasped his hands loosely and rested them lightly on the table, his tone light and slightly mocking, "It's really impressive...you plan to just keep talking around like this, huh? "

When Li Chen heard the "um", his heart skipped a beat; in addition, he kept his bow for too long, and couldn't help but tremble all over.

Saenz was staring at him, but he trembled so obviously that Saenz squinted his eyes and said in displeasure, "Are you injured again?"

Although Li Chen used to fight for injuries a lot, but Fuzhao Enyan was busy, how could he dare to lose the chain at such a critical time.In addition, it was Li Chen himself who "leaved without saying goodbye" some time ago, wouldn't it be his own fault if he was injured again?In order to show that he was still very clear, Li Chen quickly replied: "Thanks to His Highness for your shelter, I am not injured and everything is fine."

"Everything is fine..." Saenz said in a meaningful tone, "Get over here."

Li Chen was taken aback for a moment, but without looking up, he bowed and moved towards the desk.Seeing his appearance, Saenz got angry even if he didn't: "I guess you want to keep this posture for the rest of your life."

Li Chen straightened up immediately.Although there was a bit of calculation in it, he still stretched his muscles and bones before continuing to walk.Three steps and two steps, Li Chen respectfully stood beside the leader.

"Your Highness."

Saenz took a look, then stretched out his hand to the short staff around Li Chen's waist, Li Chen immediately grasped the staff with his right hand knowingly, and asked him to twist out the short sword in cooperation with his boss's movements.

Saenz looked at the magic crystal in his palm: "If everything is fine, it's best to say it on the premise that you haven't changed the magic crystal."

A rare embarrassment appeared on Li Chen's face.He never thought that changing a magic crystal could deceive Saenz, but compared to the heyday of the original one, the bleakness after "Reappearance of Time" is too glaring.Changing to a magic crystal that is also mainly white is just to prevent this pure white cane from being too shabby.Now that Saenz mentioned this, he suddenly felt like he was deceiving himself.

But changing the magic crystal is a small matter, and the reason for changing the magic crystal is more important.Saenz seemed to be playing with the magic crystal casually, and Li Chen watched the tip of the dagger gradually move towards him, and understood that the leader was trying to force him to get to the point.

Li Chen was somewhat surprised to skip the heads and go straight to the "dinner".But accidents were accidents, and he wasn't unprepared.The dagger made by the Huotzburg Magic Crystal was still dangling in front of his eyes, so he couldn't help delaying time by rambling.

"A sword has no eyes...Your Highness."
