Throne Steps

Chapter 120 Whiter Than White

On the night when Lichen returned to the mountain from the secret road, Wiggins finally heard the story of the black swan's welcome in detail.From giving away people's heads to planting trees, everything, big or small, was reported in detail by the believers he placed in Zhuoya Qiuming.

Wiggins was simply stunned by the audacity of the black swan.I said "simply" because Wiggins was able to hold back when he was angry, and just smashed the ground a few times with his staff, without doing anything more outrageous.

Even though he frightened the believer by smashing the ground directly in front of the believer, it was enough for Noah to look at him with admiration.According to Noah's understanding of Wiggins, he thought he would immediately order the tree to be shoveled down.

However, it may also be because Wiggins is too sensitive during the grace period, and Wiggins has been hiding it for the time being, just wait and see.

"He usually walks around in the temple without covering it up, but this time he did such a thing with great fanfare..." Wiggins glanced at the believers who were frozen in front of him, suppressed his anger, and clenched the staff in his hand Tightly, "I don't want to make it easier for me!"

Noah waved away the believers, and asked the female officer Ye Lian to stand guard outside the door. When there were only two people left in the room, he calmly said, "Don't be rude in front of the believers."

"That's my own, I have my own measure." Wiggins took a deep breath, and whispered ironically, "Besides, the black swan is so bold, it's a trivial matter for me to lose my dignity."

Noah was afraid that this person would make another foolish move, so he asked, "How are you doing?"

Wiggins squinted his eyes, rubbed his thumbs on the body of the stick, and after a few breaths of silence, he decided: "Admonish Your Highness!"

Sure enough, nothing to look forward to.Noah slandered secretly, but had no choice but to stop in a deep voice: "Now it's Fuzhao's grace, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at this place. Don't make a wrong step, step by step!"

"I know what you're going to say." Wiggins held his staff and looked sideways at him, "Even His Highness has no objection, so I'll keep it out of the way, right?"

You understand the truth, but you still do something wrong, Noah almost raised his forehead.The temple director wanted to show his presence in front of Saenz, and after thinking about it since the end of April, he came up with a bad idea to pray for the people of Suoyang.I didn't stop him for a while, so I reported it to him.Such a big basket hadn't figured out how to save it yet, yet another yard made the situation worse.

Noah cheered up slightly: "Since you understand..."

"You don't understand, Noah."

Wiggins interrupted the other party's words, but did not explain further.The two looked at each other silently for a while, and Noah was about to speak again, but Wiggins glanced at the direction of the door vaguely, and suddenly began to whisper a spell.

He flicked the tail of his stick against the ground, and quickly completed a simple formation composition.Then Wiggins' magic power rushed into the formation along the body of the staff, and the magic took effect immediately.

——Soundproof enchantment.

After doing all this, Wiggins seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.He looked down at the tail of the staff and sighed: "I did this for the sake of the pure and good name of the temple."

Noah didn't understand: "...Huh?"

"Sorry, my thoughts are a little messy, let me clear it up." Wiggins unconsciously drew a small circle in the void with his index finger, "It should be said that I did this to... let His Highness know that what I pursue What is pure and good.”

To put it bluntly, isn't it just a sense of presence?Noah said: "Isn't this what you have been pursuing?"

"Yes, but that's not enough." Wiggins replied, "The kindness and beauty I was pursuing before was nothing more than chasing the footsteps of pure white. Maybe it's kind and generous, maybe it's pure and gentle. But that's all, it's just partial peace. One corner is not enough.”

Noah really didn't expect that the topic would suddenly become so deep.While reminding himself not to be led into the ditch, he seduced: "You mean...just this temple, isn't it enough?"

"...You can understand it that way." Wiggins smiled, "Your Highness, if you have the first temple, you can have the second one. If I am safe here, I will definitely be submerged in one temple after another. .”

Noah finally felt a little scared: "Then, your plan is..."

Wiggins said with a low smile, "Equilibrium."

"balanced?"

"Yes." Wiggins slowly looked at the white magic crystal on the top of the staff, "'Black Swan' is 'black', so for balance, you need..."

"White?"

"Yes, 'white'." Wiggins slowly circulated his magic power to attract the color of the white magic crystal, "However, in the camp of pure white colors, 'black' can be very abrupt, but 'white' is difficult Visible. In order to be able to achieve balance, my goal should be 'extreme white'."

Noah couldn't keep up with Wiggins' thinking jump: "What do you mean by 'extreme'?"

"This is a difficult range to define." Wiggins looked at the surging white light waves of the magic crystal, and said, "To be honest, looking at the whole of Letia, I'm afraid you can't find anything more 'extremely white' than the 'pure white color'." I am afraid that the establishment of the "Black Swan" at the beginning is also because it believes that it stands on the opposite side of the "pure white color".

"The heat of the melting pot performance may not be without its reasons. The theme of revenge is not bad, and the darkness covers the sky.

"But in the final analysis, the reason why 'revenge' is so popular is because it belongs to 'justice' morally. There is darkness because there is light, isn't it? The positioning of 'black swan' to the color of pure white should be It is the inevitable shadow under the light."

Wiggins was a little incoherent, but Noah gradually figured out something: "You want to... put an end to darkness?"

"No." Wiggins suddenly withdrew the power to lure the magic crystal, lowered his eyes, "What I have to do is ignore the darkness.

"Departing from self-identity, ignoring camp, lineage, nationality, race, regardless of emotion and morality, returning to the basics, and surpassing the 'pure white color'-Dayi."

When this step is achieved, the "black swan" will be buried in the dust due to narrowness.Even if it goes beyond the definition of "pure white," Wiggins thought, it might not be impossible.

How about this path?Your Highness.

"Reckless talk about war, dragging down morale, and involving treason." Li Chen counted on his fingers, "You convicted him of three major crimes in one sentence!"

Saenz leaned on the back of the chair with a relaxed expression, and said indifferently: "Really?"

"That's what you mean." Li Chen smiled lowly, "However, my dear Highness, if you need to drink calming tea just for this matter, you would think too much of the chief minister of the temple."

Saenz closed his eyes: "Continue."

Continue... Li Chen was choked by Saenz's reaction, and said slowly: "You didn't worry about this trivial matter, but you mentioned Wiggins, so it must be from Wiggins, but it is more serious thing."

Because this is nonsense, Saenz does not give Li Chen his eyes.

"Wiggins has an ordinary background, and you have all the available people and businessmen. With his current objective situation, no matter what he does, you will definitely be able to detect it early, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Li Chen observed Saenz's expression in order to detect any subtle reactions from him, "Based on this premise, it seems that it's not what happened that made you think, but what's about to happen that caught your attention.

"You started this topic with a plan of Wiggins, so I think this 'plan' is part of a certain possibility in the future. The content of the 'plan' covers 'Suoyang', 'Suoyang's people ' and the three key points of 'blessing'. If the focus is on Suoyang, then it is inevitable to combine the current situation and participate in the 'recovery' battle. However, whether it is Wiggins personally or the group he is in, Not very suitable for frontal joining.

"Then, there are only 'people' and 'blessing' left. Using the most conventional thinking to connect these two words, plus it is in Suoyang, a place of right and wrong, that is...'humanitarian'."

With his thinking diverged to this point, Li Chen didn't care about Saenz's reaction anymore, so he came to a conclusion——

"He... wants to follow the path of 'human rights over sovereignty'?"

It was almost midnight when Li Chen came out of Saenz's room.

The butler had been waiting in the side room, and when he heard the noise next door, he came over and asked Li Chen if he wanted to prepare some supper.

"You don't need to bother." Li Chen replied in a low voice, "I trouble you to prepare your Highness for bedtime."

This was originally the job of a housekeeper, but he wouldn't blame Li Chen for being troublesome.The two briefly talked about the situation on the mountain in the past few days-the topic is of course Saenz's situation-and then prepared to say goodbye to each other.

"By the way." Li Chen, who had turned sideways just now, turned back and asked, "While I was chatting with His Highness, was there...anyone passing by?"

There are only three groups of people who can still appear in the Ainuma Temple at night.Li Chen deliberately emphasized "other people", and the housekeeper understood: "Noah came to ask if His Highness is free."

"Noah?" Li Chen thought about the topic in the room just now, and couldn't help asking, "He wants to see His Highness?"

The butler replied, "No, it's for Wigginston."

Wiggins... Li Chen said in a low voice: "Forgive me. Your Highness is in a bad mood, and it may not have nothing to do with the chief. He... Even if there are important things, I am afraid that they are not important at the moment."

These words are frankly pitting Wiggins, the word is "not necessarily", but it means "certainly".The young chief of the temple made His Highness unhappy, so His Highness needed soothing tea.Just over halfway through Fuzhao Grace, Saenz, as the central figure, naturally couldn't make any mistakes.

There is no technical content in Li Chen's bad words about people, and there is no need to have any technical content.They were standing in front of Saenz's door. If the two sides dared to blurt out, which sentence was not agreed by Saenz?

Therefore, even with a willful and domineering tone, the housekeeper took Li Chen's words: "Yes, it is our duty to keep Your Highness happy."

"That's right." Li Chen repeated slowly, "It's our responsibility."

The two tacitly agreed, looked at each other and smiled, then bowed their heads and said goodbye to each other and left.
