Throne Steps

Chapter 123 The Mercenary Trip

As soon as the word "elf" comes out, it can be said to be thunderous, just like the topic about dragons that Saenz threw out so lightly many years ago.

Speaking of unfamiliarity, in fact, in black and white in the epic, the gorgeous appearance and superb fighting skills of this ethnic group are recorded; speaking of familiarity, the elves, like other alien races described in the epic, scribbled to "migrate to a place outside the world" and ended their journey. Whereabouts on Rhaetian.

Li Chen is not a "local resident" and cannot understand the sense of rooting of these alien races in the hearts of the people of Raetia—whether you watch it or not, alien races exist here—he once thought that epics were close to myths.But the double attack of "Dragon" and "Elf" made Li Chen face up to the authenticity of the epic.

But unfortunately, Saenz didn't extend the topic, and just threw a big talk and drove Li Chen away.

With this feeling of scratching his heart and lungs, Li Chen went down the mountain overnight, and assembled the black swan team early the next morning.Just like Grace’s reliance on welcoming Saenz before, this group of dark people once again greeted Saenz’s convoy with the contradictory attitude of "holding back fanaticism".

They rode to stay near the tree where the head was buried, and did not ride forward, and Saenz's team did not stop.The hostile black horse team was far behind the pure white guard of honor, and did not turn back until the main team entered Zhuoya Qiumen.

At this time, the sense of existence of Saenz beating the contract slowly disappeared from Li Chen's heart.

Li Chen bowed his head and smiled.It doesn't matter, there will be a long time to come.

It sounds like a long time from Fuzhaoen to the end of July, but in reality, I may not be able to fully arrange my own schedule.Li Chen just sent his boss away, and immediately started to toss about the to-do list in his hand.

Most of the light formations in the temple have been revoked, returning to their normal state, and the two "giants" of the black swan that have been hiding for half a month have also begun to appear normally.But even if they don't enter and leave the temple in such a grand manner, the believers who are familiar with this place have gradually recognized the existence of some "black swans".These people were originally responsible for guarding part of the temple, and sometimes they were greeted by believers.Now they are starting to add badges with black swan prints, and the believers who are always paying attention to this place will understand the true identity of these people at once.

It turned out that these deviant people began to appear in Ainuma so early.

Li Chen originally thought that after this trip, many people would detour the members with this sign in a short time.But unexpectedly, although the believers did not dare to talk to the guards wearing the black swan logo at will, they did not flee, and even quietly observed the black swan's every move with a little excitement.

Especially Li Chen, when he appeared, the excitement in people's eyes was even more obvious than seeing Wiggins.

This doubt was solved by Fudexi who had been stationed at the foot of the mountain during the Grace period: "They believe that those who receive the gift of treasures will not be great evil."

Li Chen pretended to be helpless and patted his forehead: "I knew..."

"Disgusting." Furdhi mocked him, "Isn't that what you want?"

On the day Li Chen received the gift of treasure, the topic about him once again topped the "Hot List" in Zhuo Ya Qiuming.Prior to this, some believers at that time were uneasy because they recognized the former guards in the "head-offering" team.But Saenz's tolerance and gift of treasures to the "black swan" effectively dispelled their fear.When the grace of sunshine is over, the "Black Swan"'s previous behaviors of using violence to control violence, on the contrary, convey a sense of "bearing humiliation".

"I have to say that you have misunderstood." Li Chen lowered his eyes, "The positioning of 'Black Swan' should not be like this, at least not only."

Fudexi and Akye are not ignorant of Lichen's plan, on the contrary, they are very clear about the set path that "Black Swan" will take.Li Chen's attitude made Fu Dexi quickly react: "Have you confessed to him?"

"Listen to the word you use, 'confession'?" Li Chen laughed, "He is so smart, can't he guess our intention?"

Oh...and agree to this monstrous plan?Fu Dexi thought, Li Chen's method of flattering even when he is not in front of people is really not in vain, look at the one who is used to him.

However, there was another person on the scene who was more accustomed to Li Chen.Akye was asking, "Need to change the direction of public opinion?"

"No, just let it go, it won't spread very far now. This foreshadowing may be useful in the future." Li Chen waved his hand.It is enough to know that these rumors are not deliberately guided, and Leti Ali, who has underdeveloped communication, does not need to pay too much attention to these topics.

This matter was narrated as side news, and the three of them once again focused on the task at hand.

At the end of July, people from all walks of life gathered in Vomalawia, a town on the edge of the Samir forest.

Everyone has mixed feelings about the place.Five years ago, Li Chen participated in the last "Dawn" held in Samir, and it was precisely this as the foothold for entering and leaving Samir.Saenz put the venue of the last "Dawning Grace" here under the banner of "worrying about the 'dawn' incident", and he was doing the essence of listening to the news nearby.Only Wiggins' affection for Foton City is definitely closer. After all, this is the first time that Saenz took him to a large public event, which can be regarded as establishing his position beside Saenz.

However, Saenz did not put on any kind gesture of nostalgia, and Wiggins was not stupid enough to express his attitude first.This is the first time for the young temple director to officially participate in a mercenary mission. He chose to pretend to be a mage, and he spoke very gently: "You...are you thinking of your old friend?"

When the word "you" was just pronounced, Saenz glanced at him, causing the subject to be half-swallowed.However, Wiggins is not used to treating Saenz with a more equal attitude, so he no longer dares to repeat it.

As Thrall, Saenz has always been very willful.He didn't want to pay attention to Wiggins, so he really didn't answer Wiggins' question, but pushed the head of the kid on the other side.

"Fuck off, sit down and eat."

They were sitting in the dining room on the first floor of a small hotel. Saenz was sitting at the head of the table, Li Chen was being squeezed beside him, and Wiggins was sitting at the other table. There were four servants with different star ratings at the same table. The personal guard of Saenz who is a soldier.Surrounded by mercenaries talking and laughing, it was very lively.In fact, the voice of Wiggins' question was not loud, so he could pretend that Saenz didn't hear it and resolve the embarrassment.But the action of Saenz turning his head to talk to Lichen was too deliberate, which made Wiggins even more at a loss.

The chief of the temple froze there, thinking for a while whether he had raised some taboo questions, and for a while wondering if he was making too much fuss. It would be better to get used to the image of Saenz.

oh yes.This was the first time he had seen the image of a mercenary of Saenz.

"Come on, I can't listen to gossip?" Li Chen looked at Wiggins' stiffness and groaned slightly.He pulled Saenz's hand, really like a little mercenary, "I heard the word 'old friend', this must be the beginning of the story!"

He intends to save the situation, don't embarrass this "big prophet", maybe the elves will have to expect him to see something in the future!

But before Wiggins could react, the man sitting opposite Wiggins laughed and cut off the conversation.

"Hey, then you are really asking someone." The man shook his beer glass twice, "The girls who like us Sal can line up to the gate of Buddha City from here. Their romance with Sal... I can make up a thousand and one nights for you!"

"Is your mouth too full?" Saenz squinted at the man, and pulled Li Chen's cheek, "Can you teach the children something good?"

"Teach him, what are you doing pinching me!" Li Chen pulled Saenz's hand away, and moved his stool to the man's side, "All the meat that I ate leaked out!"

"It's so disgusting, so I don't dislike you." The man laughed loudly, raising his hand to help Lichen pull the stool, looked up to see Saenz sweeping them with a half-smile, and then pushed the stool back angrily. "Well, I still despise you."

Li Chen was kicked back to Saenz, and he pretended to cough: "Hey, I know you don't want me."

Saenz pushed his head down, and almost missed it directly into the bowl: "Eat your meal."

The tablemates were amused, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy for a while, only Wiggins was silent.At any rate, he didn't have a negative IQ. Even though he felt it was difficult to blend in, he still reluctantly smiled in cooperation, and then he picked up his own food and stopped talking about it.

In the evening, Li Chen was called to Saenz's room for a night talk.

Out of subtle embarrassment, Li Chen did not particularly conceal his actions.And as he wished, when passing Wiggins' room, the door opened.

"I hope you don't get too complacent." Wiggins said in a low voice with the door half open, "Although he is a mercenary now, he is not a mercenary after all, and it is far from your style. For his use, It is our honor, Xiao thinks too much and will eventually come to nothing."

"I totally agree with the last sentence." Li Chen didn't turn to him, but just turned his face slightly and smiled lowly, "Others are not part of the part that I can make unreasonable opinions on, so please be careful, Chief Director."

"I just want to remind you that even if the demise of the 'Wolf' was related to you, don't be too complacent in Samir." Wiggins maintained a gentle expression, but his tone was a little cold, "This is not a place that will let him happy place."

Is this to continue the topic at the dinner table?Li Chen raised his eyebrows, pretending to be interested and replied: "Oh?"

"Noah and I used to have a classmate in Pesa, and we had a very good relationship, and His Highness admired him very much." Wiggins lowered his eyes, and seemed to be somewhat regretful, "But he was in the 'Dawn' five years ago. ' in an accident and disappeared in Samuel."

Li Chen actually guessed that Wiggins might be talking about this, but he couldn't help laughing when he really heard him bring the topic up to "himself".He also really showed an obvious smile, combined with the current identity setting, it seems that he doesn't care about other people's life and death: "Oh, so what?"

"It's been five years, and the death certificate of this classmate has been published, but he still firmly believes that the person is still alive." Wiggins raised his eyes, "I hope you don't make him unhappy because you don't know what's going on."

Li Chen accepted this trick of "stimulating dissension" about himself without any effort, and sneered: "None of my business."

He turned around and walked two steps forward, then turned back and asked, "If you don't mind, maybe you can tell me the name of the unlucky guy who disappeared in Samuel?"

"...Rigsella."
