Throne Steps

Chapter 140 Goodbye Western Forest

"She's going to Letia?" Saenz raised his eyebrows, "What is she thinking?"

"Who knows?" Li Chen shrugged, and said helplessly after seeing Saenz's eyes, "I didn't mention anything, it should be the fault of that "Black Swan"."

Saenz sneered: "Does she want to go with us? If she really goes on the road, can she live until the third day?"

"Your Highness said this..." Li Chen originally planned to pretend to be innocent, but Saenz said "Huh?", so he could only cough bitterly.

Then he slumped on the chair and leaned on the armrest, showing an undisguised malicious smile: "Does it sound strange that people without talent and experience die in jungle adventures?"

Li Chen is the only one who can maintain this rogue posture in front of Saenz—of course, except for the period of His Highness’s mercenary setting—as long as Saenz doesn’t stop Li Chen, he can keep such a rascal posture.

Of course, this kind of randomness was also manipulated by Saenz.

Although the two discussed Yang Xiaoxiao's fate casually, Saenz finally came to a conclusion: "It's useless to say anything, Mogadishu won't let her go—at least not now."

Saenz was right, the elves would not let this outsider go easily.Although she seems to know nothing, but this kind of ignorance is likely to make the elves fall into a passive situation.

Besides, the girl came from another world, and the elves couldn't guarantee that it wasn't a revelation from God.They had to study Yang Xiaoxiao thoroughly before discussing her future.Anyway, the elf itself has a long lifespan, even if Yang Xiaoxiao dies here, it's okay.

Saenz and Li Chen scoffed at the "apocalypse theory", after all, when it comes to other worlds, Li Chen is still a predecessor of time travel.

Yang Xiaoxiao's inability to enter Letia greatly reduced the possibility of her accessing the intelligence code book.But the troubles did not end there. Li Chen remembered her painting "Swan Lake" and told Saenz about it again.

Saenz sneered: "You have the face to criticize others? Didn't you copy the script when you wrote it?"

Li Chen smiled sheepishly and didn't refute, just said: "As long as Mogadishu sees what she draws, she will know that we also have..."

Saenz glanced at him: "So what?"

Li Chen choked.Saenz was so calm that he thought for a moment that he was worrying too much. Fortunately, Saenz's words had the following: "If he can really track down the truth, my intelligence department should just be disbanded."

Li Chen sighed: "I'm afraid he borrowed a knife..."

"Then he will borrow it." Saenz raised his chin with a mocking expression, "I would like to see whose knife can be inserted in, and who is a short board for others to use."

Li Chen listened to the leader's "failure warning" grandly, and raised his forehead and said: "There is still Amoya..."

It was only then that Saenz remembered this, and looked at Li Chen with an unhappy expression: "He knew? Why didn't I know he knew about it, huh?"

Li Chen thought to himself that we also discussed military supplies, can you let me know?But he replied: "The relationship is so close that many things can be traced, not to mention that he is still a smart person."

"A smart person should know what to say and what to keep as a secret." Saenz narrowed his eyes and said, "It's beyond my expectation that you trust him to this extent..."

Saen Si only knew that Li Chen wanted to use Amoya's hands to rectify the business, but he didn't know that he wanted Amoya to investigate the serial murders many years ago.Li Chen suspects that the murder case not only involves necromancers and keels, but also involves many eternal colors. It is the most appropriate choice for Amoya, who is in charge of the business, to investigate, which is both concealed and effective.

In terms of mutual use of each other's forces, the mutual penetration between Li Chen and Amoya is no less than that with Saenz.These two young people have novel ideas and straightforward means, which means they hit it off.

However, Li Chen would not be short-hearted enough to tell the whole story, he just smiled slightly, and answered Saenz: "It's just a coincidence."

"Accidental?" Saenz raised his eyebrows, "Then what is necessity?"

Li Chen's answer to this kind of question is really unambiguous: "I trust you, you trust me, this is inevitable."

Just as everyone predicted, Yang Xiaoxiao failed to embark on her own adventure.

Even though she tried to deliver many famous works from previous lives, no one was as excited as she imagined, and then sat down to talk.These things are just an addition to the top class, and none of the people present are willing to cause big trouble for such a small profit.

And even if it was the repertoire of the melting pot, Amoya spent a lot of effort to promote it.If Yang Xiaoxiao is destined to be against Li Chen, then Amoya, who is Li Chen's "teammate", must be a huge stumbling block on her way to becoming famous.

Yang Xiaoxiao's understanding of the world now is not much better than that of a newborn baby, and after being rejected by a row of people, she dare not make a mistake.But she always felt that apart from these unsystematic knowledge of literature and art, she had no better stepping stones in her hands, so this path was not completely abandoned, but was temporarily buried in her heart.

She didn't know that, contrary to the freedom she wanted, the elves would guard her more strictly.Especially in the case where she expresses her desire to leave the elf territory, all her requests will be regarded as purposeful.

After staying in the elf's territory for four days, the three of them were finally about to say goodbye.Before taking him away, Li Chen held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stalked to Mogadishu to "inform".

"She guesses that I have a crush on her?"

Mogadishu repeated it with a strange expression, looking at the double-black youth in front of him: "...she told you?"

"I didn't say it directly, but I'm afraid there is something like this in the words." Li Chen raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, expressing helplessness, "I thought it was just that she paid special attention to you, but after careful identification, I found that she was saying that you cared about her very much." .”

Mogadishu is extremely capable and unparalleled in beauty. It is not surprising that anyone pays attention to him, loves him, and admires him.But Lichen and Yang Xiaoxiao pretended to talk to each other several times, and found that the girl was talking about Mogadishu, and always pushed him what she wanted to do, as if the elf king should give it to him. She seems to solve it.

Of course Li Chen didn't believe that the elves would help this girl selflessly.In his opinion, it was probably the courteous treatment of the elves, coupled with the large number of plots that Yang Xiaoxiao made up in her own free time, that gave birth to such a result.

Not surprisingly, it's still a bit of a fledgling theory.

Mogadishu doesn't mean that at all, though.Facing Li Chen's explanation, he just sneered: "Oh... what does she think, what does it matter to me?"

No one in the elves would really believe her absurd speculation—she couldn't even communicate well.

Li Chen smiled sheepishly: "I'm just reminding you." After all, in his previous life, he had occasionally watched some terrible film and television works, and a character like Yang Xiaoxiao is a little expert at promoting the plot when he suffers from brain problems.

As a teammate who was being scooped up, Li Chen couldn't help but ring the bell for the opponent.

Ah—if only she were dead!Li Chen thought again.

"Can you be more free?" A hand stretched out and pulled Li Chen back, it was Saenz who had changed into a mercenary costume.He patted Li Chen's cheek with the back of his hand, and pushed him to the back side: "What else can I do besides talking nonsense, huh?"

Saenz has the speculation of a superior.Now that Yang Xiaoxiao is in the hands of the elves, Li Chen's discussion of her in front of Mogadishu may be misunderstood as talking about other people and causing disputes.His shot is also quite a lesson for him, and he wants Mogadishu not to care about it.

Li Chen pouted secretly behind his back.How hard is it to find a single Mogadishu?He managed to open up the chatter box, and was about to talk about blood, when the leader came and messed everything up.

Mogadishu saw Li Chen's expression of regret in the back, and guessed that it was deliberately done for himself, and smiled slightly: "When you are waiting for someone, there is nothing wrong with talking about irrelevant gossip."

Saenz raised his eyebrows and glanced at him—while waiting for someone...was he alluding to the tree of life meditation day?

Li Chen kept a blank face—how can the words about my blood be considered innocuous!

At the end of September, the mercenary teams returned to Vermavia in batches.

In Saenz's team, except for Danlu who left the team, everyone else was the same as when they started, and the one who changed the most should be Wiggins.Although he was exhausted, his xinxing growth was obvious.After all, this is the first time he has personally experienced a dangerous situation to perform a mercenary mission. He slipped past the most mysterious third-party intelligence organization and the legendary elf territory in one go, and even lit up his innate skills. Li Chen had to lament his good luck .

In the drag trio, Wiggins awakened his talent, and Dan Lu teamed up with Kunta's intelligence organization.In contrast, Li Chen seems to have come to join the pure play tour group.However, even if Li Chen joked like this, Saenz understood the meaning of this journey to him better than himself.

Li Chen, who registered in front of Kunta and the Elf King, not only used the name of the black swan, but also used his sense of individual existence.In the face of these two mysterious groups, the relationship between Lichen and Saenz is visible to the naked eye. This young man is more credible and available than others in Saenz's group.

What's more, Li Chen may also get more attention from the Elf King because of his mysterious blood.

Saenz knows this, but he won't explain it.He has gained a lot from this trip, but the biggest insight for him personally comes from the meditation under the tree of life.Time does not lie, the answer given by meditation made Saenz re-look at his relationship with Li Chen.

It is true that he also knew that Li Chen was indispensable to him, but time told him: Li Chen is the weak point of your heart.Recalling the feeling when he had a sudden enlightenment, he himself couldn't tell whether he was slightly surprised or suddenly enlightened.

Everyone is a busy person in various fields. After returning to the Raetia Federation, the mercenary team only had a brief meeting and then disbanded on the spot.Li Chen asked Saenz to say goodbye quite simply, he has always been like this, and he never procrastinates when he doesn't need to be clingy.In order not to let others notice the abnormality, Saenz could only let it go.

"Then, I'll go back first, and I wish you all the best." Li Chen exited Saenz's study, fastened his linen cloak as he walked out, his movements were chic and neat.Saenz didn't look after him, but he seemed to be able to see the back of him walking out of the gate, getting on his horse, and leaving with the other mercenaries on the way.

This can't work... Saenz sighed, and indulged his thoughts in a rare way: I have to sort out my emotions.
