Throne Steps

Chapter 168 3 People, 1 Performance, 2 Travelers

Regarding the cultivation of "Song of the Siren", Li Chen actually did not hope to completely hide Saenz.

After all, four years ago, on the way to the elves, Saenz had already warned him about this matter.

But Lichen believes in the ability of Black Swan, and also believes in the tacit understanding between Saenz and himself.Although Saenz knew about many things but did not reveal them, Li Chen often wandered in this gray area.And as long as Saenz doesn't expose him, Li Chen has the confidence to hide it from others.

For example, the research and cultivation of "Song of the Siren" started quietly, and is about to end quietly.

At this time, Saenz suddenly mentioned "Song of the Siren" in front of Li Chen in an almost explicit way. What does this mean?

In the dimness, Li Chen was immersed in his own thoughts until the first light shone in front of his eyes.

"The new world is approaching,

Just turn the corner and you’ll meet…”

In the sound effect of the waves, the ethereal singing seems to come from the sky.The figure of the actress slowly ascended to the high platform, holding the shell-like lamp with warm light in both hands.The light illuminated her pastel-colored dress, illuminated the strings of pearls that snaked along her waist and shoulders, and dyed her long, curvy platinum hair a warm orange-yellow.She looked into the distance, opened her mouth and sang the ballad hovering over the dome.

"The new world is approaching,

The old world is dying..."

The actors, holding lamps, filed out from the backstage.They walked over the edge of the stage, around the orchestra, down into the auditorium, and the lights followed them.

"A voice is calling,

Hear as long as you want.

It grows louder and louder,

Echoing day after day..."

A light path, starting from the stage, extends and spreads to the auditorium.The audience is caught in a strange atmosphere - they are in the dark, but they have light in their eyes and light in their hearts.

"Dawn is drawing near,

The darkness receded, and the vision gradually became clearer.

Dawn is approaching,

Hope to come together, take pity on me..."

A little fluorescent light slowly fell from Li Chen's eyes.

He raised his head and saw that the zenith of the auditorium was lighting up little by little fluorescent lights.They twinkle like stars, bloom and scatter like fireworks, and fall gently like catkins.They come from the highest and darkest places, softly, as if the starry night hangs down; they descend again into the crowd, and merge into a warm light, like fireflies.

Li Chen looked at his fingertips, a little fluorescence was disappearing there.

He suddenly felt lighter physically and mentally.

"It's light magic."

On the way out of the school after the show, Li Chen couldn't help but started to bring up this topic.

This is actually nothing, almost all the audience after the show were happily discussing the performance they had just watched, especially the scene where fluorescent lights fell from the top to the auditorium.The dreamlike scene and the effect of cleansing the soul will probably be talked about by the audience for a long time.

For example, a young girl walking not far ahead kept expressing emotion with her companions about the wonderful performance, all using interjections.

But Li Chen mentioned this matter not only because of the wonderful performance.

"There must be a bright magic circle arranged in advance in the theater..." Li Chen thought for a while, approached Saenz and asked softly, "Did you know about this before?"

Saenz glanced sideways at the young man who came closer: "Ask me? Why don't you ask Amoya?"

Li Chen smiled mischievously.He hasn't touched the furnace for many years, but today's move still made him ask: "Using the light magic circle like this... don't I need to say hello to you?"

The magic circle of light can dispel evil spirits, relieve pain, cleanse the heart, and it will take effect immediately.In Li Chen's impression, the occasions where this trick appears most often are various activities and temples of pure white color, especially when Fuzhao Enyan is used the most.Another wide-ranging use is medical treatment, which of course requires more practical effects than the former.But it is very rare to say that it is applied to aspects that have nothing to do with pure white or medical treatment.

Especially in this kind of performance, in order to match the repertoire, it is necessary to give this formation effect a new meaning.Li Chen looked at his boss after watching the performance, and had a subtle feeling of being arrested for "copyright infringement".This kind of concern is like a small paw scratching his heart, making him unable to hold back to ask.

He asked directly, but he ignored that it had been a long time since he took the initiative to get so close to Saenz.

Of course Saenz would not remind him of this, but he just replied indifferently: "Say hello, all schools of magic are not forbidden by the eternal color. Will you greet Meloyer when you use water magic? "

Li Chen choked.Saenz seems to be right, but there seems to be something wrong.However, at least it was confirmed that the light magic circle can be used, and it will not be settled by the pure white color.

The street lights were faint, and Yang Xiaoxiao walked behind, looking at the people around who were excitedly discussing the performance, and at the two men who were almost whispering next to each other, opened their mouths, but said nothing after all.

Back at the hotel, Lichen asked the clerk for a pot of hot water and two cups, then went upstairs and knocked on Saenz's door.

When the door opened, another face was revealed - Yang Xiaoxiao.

"...you are here." Li Chen laughed, and said in a natural tone, "Here, I plan to deliver tea to you after I finish delivering him!"

"I'm so curious about today's performance that it's impossible to fall asleep, so I came to ask him!" The girl stuck out her tongue, let him in, and then helped close the door behind him, "What kind of tea is this?" ?Sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep after drinking tea... oh sure, I'm already hyper tonight."

"It's for calming the nerves." Li Chen put the tray on the table, glanced at Saenz who was walking by, and said with a smile, "You can ask him how it works."

"This is the album I just mentioned." Saenz handed a hard cover book to Yang Xiaoxiao, then glanced at the teapot on the table, "...tea?"

"I haven't started soaking yet." Li Chen raised his hand and threw a small object at him, "Do you want the lady to show you your craft?"

Saenz raised his hand and picked it up lightly. After a closer look, it was a tea bag without any markings on the outside.His fingers gently rolled the tea bag, passed under his nose slightly, and then gave Li Chen a meaningful look.

Li Chen blinked slowly.

Yang Xiaoxiao didn't see their eyes meet.She was excitedly about to open the picture album, but after hearing Li Chen's words, she raised her head in a bit of confusion after reacting for a second: "That...uh, I actually don't know much about tea ceremony."

"It doesn't matter, it's not that only those who understand tea can drink tea." Saenz unwrapped the outer packaging of the tea bag, opened the lid of the kettle, and poured all the contents of the tea bag into the teapot, "And there are so many things in the world, How can I understand everything?"

Yang Xiaoxiao probably wanted something simple to talk about, but after watching Saenz's actions carefully, she felt that there was no mystery.She wanted to look away as if nothing had happened, but she inadvertently met Li Chen's smiling eyes, which was clear but not mocking.

Yang Xiaoxiao lowered her head in embarrassment, and opened the album in her hand.

It was only the first page, and she froze.

"This, this..." She pointed to the black handwriting on the first page, and said in surprise, "Is this... signatures?! Those actors on stage just now?!"

Saenz casually replied while pouring tea: "Of course."

"which one?"

"The leading role is Hai's daughter." Li Chen pointed to the writing on it, "Isn't there a poster of her at the door? It has her real name written on it."

Yang Xiaoxiao's common spoken language of Retia is good enough, and her writing is still basically illiterate, so she can only smile embarrassingly.

Saenz put a cup in front of her, then picked up a cup and drank a couple of sips, and said with a smile: "Although I'm sorry, but this can't be given to you, dear Xiaoxiao, because it was given to me by a friend Precious gift."

"Ah, of course!" Yang Xiaoxiao nodded her head, "I am already very happy that you are willing to lend me a look, thank you!" She carefully placed the album on the stool next to her, holding the teacup with both hands , "It smells so good... Hey, don't you drink it yourself?"

"No, you can drink." Li Chen actually came to talk to Saenz about something, but when Yang Xiaoxiao appeared unexpectedly, he gave the girl the cup reserved for him, and immediately gave up the original cup. topic.His movements were so natural, with Yang Xiaoxiao's level of insight, he couldn't detect Li Chen's emotional changes in the blink of an eye.

"Well, I like this smell, it's relaxing." Yang Xiaoxiao said, "By the way, speaking of relaxation, what happened to those light spots during the performance today? When they fell, I suddenly felt So relaxed and so comfortable!"

Li Chen and Saenz looked at each other, then Li Chen smiled and wrote lightly: "That's a magical effect."

"Magic!" Yang Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "How did it work? Is there magic in those light spots?"

"Probably not." Li Chen spread his hands, "I don't know the details, it should be a commercial secret of the show."

"That, that...!" Yang Xiaoxiao didn't know what to think, and suddenly became excited, "Who is the scriptwriter of the melting pot show? Can I meet him!"

The action of Saenz drinking tea has not changed at all.

Li Chen asked, "You want to see him? Why?"

"Uh..." Yang Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then clenched her fists, stood up and said cautiously to the two, "I suspect that he, like me... is from another world."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows.

Saenz slowly put down his teacup, and glanced calmly at the two people standing facing each other.

Both Li Chen and Yang Xiaoxiao came across time and space. When they traveled, they were close in age, from the same world, and even to a large extent from the same region.With so much in common, it always makes people feel that they should have some common traits, but Saenz sees two completely different people.

He even thought that even if the positions of Yang Xiaoxiao and Li Chen were reversed, Li Chen would definitely still rise from the elves; and Yang Xiaoxiao would never get his attention like Li Chen.

Just like what the elves and the elf king Mogadishu did, even if this girl might be related to the tree of life, they wouldn't pay much attention to it—even the basic knowledge of magic circle and light magic was not popularized to her.

The letter from Mogadishu also said that the girl should be injured as much as possible, and the elves want to confirm whether the tree of life will change.Of course, until this point is completely confirmed, Yang Xiaoxiao will not die.

Yang Xiaoxiao thought that the elves didn't let her come out because they cared about her; even now that she got what she wanted, the elves were still worried, so they gave her to the care of Pure White, who seemed to have a prominent position.

Next, Li Chen, who was about to "take over" to take care of her, sighed at her.

"The script writer...is dead."
