Throne Steps

Chapter 111 Two People Talking 1

There was a tacit understanding between Li Chen and the pure white Third Highness.

Specifically, if Saenz does not mention it, Li Chen will not say much; as long as Saenz mentions it, Li Chen will sort out everything that can be said.As for the content of Li Chen's report, Saenz will not question it in most cases, let alone use the power of the contract to force the truth.

Even though the loyalty contract between the two of them is already very strong, the principle of "do not use people who are suspicious" is still quite obvious.

Since Li Chen was given "freedom", he must bear the consequences for this decision. This is Saenz's personal code.

And Li Chen, who has gone through the process of reverse development, is also well versed in this, so when he reported his whereabouts in the past few months to Saenz—especially the content of using the "time reappearance" formation—the black swan Lied without hesitation.

The reason "I don't know why I just know this" has been used countless times. With this shareholder style, Li Chen will not lie about the use of "time reappearance".However, the scenes shown in "Reappearance of Time" always make Li Chen maintain a high sense of déjà vu and suspicion, so this part of the content was split and re-edited by Li Chen, trying to hide the truth.

"So, on the one hand, we are inquiring about the content shown in these scenes, and on the other hand, we are investigating that Lawrence and some people who may be related back then..." Li Chen said, "There is no clue about the former, but there are some connections to the latter. .Although I personally think that the core content has not yet been reached, but if you want, I can sort out the information I have so far?"

The backtracking time of "time reappearance" is likely to reach 40 years-at least 30 years-it is extremely difficult to see and remember clearly under high-speed changes.Although Li Chen was not the only one present at the time, they were all eggs from a nest after all, maybe these black birds had already colluded with the confession.Even so, even though Li Chen casually expressed "no detailed information", Saenz still didn't want to ignore it.

But Saenz's way of pressing the question is very special: "If you want to keep the secrets about those scenes, then we have to find other places to make up for the value of that magic crystal..." He put one hand on the edge of the table, He pointed the sword at Li Chen's throat very casually, and gave a seemingly friendly smile, "Why don't you recall to me the formation of 'Time Reappearance'?"

Li Chen had long thought about how to explain the depletion of the magic crystal, and the final conclusion was to confess the "reappearance of time".Now that Saenz actually cooperated with the trick, Li Chen couldn't help but think again.

He lowered his eyes to look at the dagger that was almost reaching his chin, secretly wondering if Saenz actually wanted answers to both questions.

"This...'Time Reappearance' is the only time I've used it. I'm not sure if there are other side effects other than the high consumption of mana, and I don't know if this is the only time I can talk about it as a successful experience..." Li Chen Like a child hiding a secret, he nervously looked around and talked about him, but Saenz still stared at him with a smiling expression—yes, staring, Li Chen even saw a smile in his eyes——Black Swan couldn't help shelving the mood of performing more, "Do you want to expand teaching or personal understanding?"

Saenz held his sword steadily, and smiled happily: "What do you think?" His tone was quite like that of a persuasive teacher.

He was so kind, but Li Chen inexplicably felt a chill run up his spine, and then he couldn't help trembling his fingers when he tried his best to control his body's reaction.Saenz was staring at him, knowing everything about his movements, he couldn't help smiling, and put the sword on the table with a twist of his wrist: "Don't be nervous."

The more you say that, the more nervous I get.Li Chen couldn't help but sarcastically, glanced at the sword on the table, and was not sure what the leader meant, so he didn't dare to grab it and stuff it back into the short stick.

In the past, even if Saenz was so angry that he wanted to "strangle" Lichen to death with a contract, the black swan did not necessarily panic.Now it’s just a friendly smile and a few swings of the dagger that he uses every day, which can easily make him show this kind of embarrassment—even if this is likely to be Li Chen’s "exaggerated" reaction—Saenz finds it very rare.This His Highness is not a "understanding" person, especially he doesn't need to be polite to Li Chen, so after Li Chen was "frightened" by him and his hands trembled, he stretched out his hand to caress the black swan's fingertips.

"cold?"

Li Chen was really taken aback this time.Pure White's deliberately lowered voice and caring tone, like a thin electric current flowing through the whole body from the fingertips, made the black swan almost panic.Strange to say, Saenz naturally had times in the past when he was closer than this action, but Li Chen was rarely so dazzled by the "electricity".It can be seen that when the pure white color really uses charm as a force, most people can't escape.Don't talk about escaping, I'm afraid that the person who was hit would like to take out his heart and offer it with pure white hands.

Because Saenz's bent fingers seemed to hold Li Chen when he touched it, Li Chen was stunned by the voice and subconsciously held back.As a result, when the black swan reacted, he grabbed others by himself instead.Saenz slightly looked up at Li Chen, his smile was still soft and concerned, but Li Chen let go of the slender fingers with a jerk.If it wasn't for the obvious action, Li Chen really wanted to wipe his faint sweat on his trousers.

——Why does this joint look like a kid?Li Chen couldn't help but secretly sighed for his restlessness.

Saenz was not finished yet, he was caught and released by Li Chen, he asked naturally: "What's wrong?"

If Li Chen doesn't know that the other party is fooling him, Bai will live an extra life.It's a pity that he himself provoked this drama first, and if he can't beat Saenz, isn't he playing himself to death?It can be seen that life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.Saenz is a top actor.

So Black Swan let out a long sigh of relief, and put himself in the position of admitting defeat: "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I apologize for my previous recklessness."

His dejected look seemed a little more sincere in Saenz's eyes.Like a flexible animal caught at the point, a little limp, but peaceful at the same time.But if Saenz accepts it now as soon as he sees a good deal, then Bai and Li Chen have been dealing with each other for so many years.His smile was still friendly, but his tone switched to a meaningful channel, and he asked back, "How long ago?"

Li Chen didn't dare to bargain with him, and replied directly: "Since I didn't attend the inauguration ceremony of the temple..."

Saenz tapped the table with his index finger, and glanced down at the dagger on the table: "Still talking nonsense, huh?"

Li Chen was excited: "Well, I do have some obsessions. On the one hand, because these news are related to 'Dragon', on the other hand, I also guess that 'I' might be found—" He pointed to his heart, "The true origin of..."

The topic immediately touched on the taboo between the two of them—or Li Chen's one-way direction. Saenz stared at Li Chen, and Li Chen's gaze was also locked on Saenz.However, in this confrontation, it was Saenz who opened the mouth first to put aside the topic.

"It may not be you who contributed the most to Ainuma, but you are definitely the one who put the most effort into it. As a result, you ran away a few days before the inauguration ceremony... Nothing you just said can be used as an excuse .”

Li Chen heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard this topic.His words involved the origin of this body in this world, in fact, to exaggerate that "the escape was due to an important matter", but he was really afraid that Saenz would "let" him continue talking by the way.Fortunately, Saenz has always had a high EQ and did not linger on this hidden bomb for too long.With a quick push, the topic returned to the previous topic.

The gentleness of the pure white color is mostly reflected here.

"I... just suddenly felt that the 'Black Swan' shouldn't just appear like this." Li Chen lowered his eyes, "The end of the year is a time of active communication. It's quite different. It's better not to be stained with black swans when the temple is completed."

The reputation of Black Swan in high-level circles can be known from the fact that Saenz has severely repaired Li Chen before.But Saenz can't be fooled so easily: "Go on."

Continue... Li Chen saw that Saenz didn't intend to listen and ask questions, so he straightened out his thoughts and changed his way of statement: "At that time, my thoughts were still very vague. To be honest, the day I left the temple I don't know exactly what I want to do. But my consciousness—or intuition to be more accurate—tells me that there may be better options. Just as the news about the dragon came, I just followed my heart Gone. If I have to describe my fluke mentality at that time, it probably means that if I was lucky enough to get the important information about the dragon and come back to apologize to you, it would not be an unforgivable crime, would it?

Apparently, we didn't get word of a valid dragon afterwards.If this is misfortune, then luck is that I have thought through my motives. "

The long series of descriptions made Li Chen calm and clear-headed, and he even looked at the dagger on the table.Without Saenz saying anything, Li Chen stretched out his left hand to hold the end of the handle inlaid with magic crystals, and smoothly retracted the dagger into the cane hanging on the right side of his waist.

"Of course, whether it is the completion of the temple or the grace of sunshine, the appearance of the 'black swan' is to show its feathers to the general public under the light. But even so, I personally think that there are still obvious differences between the inauguration ceremony and the grace of sunshine. The difference. Compared with the inauguration ceremony, the proportion of ordinary people on Fuzhao's Grace is higher. If you use simple logical deduction, it means that the "black swan" that appeared at the inauguration ceremony will officially enter the cognition of the nobles, while on Fuzhao's Grace The emergence of 'black swans' will lay a wider foundation in the memory of ordinary people."

Although Saenz brought only his two peers, Sea Blue and Silver Vermilion, at the inauguration ceremony, Belem is not just Belem, and Cervantes is not just Cervantes.When they saw Ainuma, everything they saw and heard would quickly spread throughout the noble circle.As the first temple of Saenz, Ainuma will definitely become the topic of nobles' communication to the greatest extent.

"As long as you have the heart, 'Black Swan' and here..." Li Chen glanced unfocusedly in the room, and then turned to Saenz, "It's not difficult to know that it is even inextricably linked with you. Even if the truth cannot be known, the 'black swan' appears here, and people cannot turn a blind eye to it.

"Of course the nobles will think that the 'Black Swan' is your subordinate, but we don't have to cooperate with this fact. Perhaps it would be very interesting to let more ordinary people have another understanding."

Li Chen narrated his train of thought, and Saenz reacted quite quickly: "... Public opinion offensive?"

"Don't use such a mocking tone, my lord. We all know that the offensive of public opinion is 'useless', don't you?" Saenz's cooperation made people feel a sense of intimacy and relaxation, and Li Chen took advantage of the opportunity to "interact" "A little bit.Then he tilted his head and shrugged with a smile, and naturally put his hands in ceremonial gloves behind his back.

"We're just creating a premise and killing it. Of course some people will have other ideas, but we're only going to answer the question in terms of that premise - and most people will think it makes sense , isn't it?"

It's just that the "most people" are ordinary people who don't know the truth.

Saenz was silent, and he flashed scenes in his mind, matching the behavior of "Black Swan" with what Li Chen said one by one.Then, he suddenly laughed, no longer friendly, full of coldness.

"So at the end of the day, you still had a 'surprise' for me, didn't you?"
