Chapter 188 The "little" things about Fu Zhao'en

This year's Fu Zhao Grace is really not as easy as it was five years ago.

Saenz wasn't here, but Saenz was fucking here.In addition to two elves, a traverser who may "explode" at any time, Li Chen, the only complete insider, is really worried.

For a while, we will arrange security for the small courtyard where Tania is staying, even though the "Fire Rose" said that she came quietly in disguise, so don't worry too much; It is a high-quality product, so what if I steal too much of the headmaster's limelight; Yang Xiaoxiao will be vaccinated in a while, and if she sees something from Zhenbao's image while praying, don't say anything on the spot.

During this period, Fudexi also said that he decided to go to the elves after he decided to give grace.

Li Chen only asked, "Will you come back?"

Fordhi said, "Yes."

So Li Chen directly approved, but said that he still needs to negotiate with the elves, hoping that they can keep in touch so as to update the progress of lifting the curse.

Fudexi showed his usual mocking expression: "Making contact with the elves in my name?"

"Cough..." Li Chen blinked, "Please let me use it?"

"Can I say no?"

"No."

Fudexi sneered twice, stopped expressing his opinions, and left with the grace process he wanted to control.

Also joining in the fun is a letter from Amoya...Although he didn't know exactly who would go to Ainuma's Fu Zhaoen, but he could still guess that Li Chen was probably very busy, after all, the chief executive didn't seem to be good at preparing for ceremonies.In addition to expressing "deep condolences" to Li Chen, Amoya also asked him if he needed help.If necessary, Amoya can send a team of professionals to control the ceremony process to fully support the blessing of the Ainuma Temple.

Li Chen didn't even bother to reply to the letter. Amoya wanted to swallow the grace of a temple in the name of "helping", and might even want to intervene in the daily supply of the temple.No matter how close Li Chen was with him, it was impossible for him to bite this hook.

Amoya has already represented Black Swan's business, and if he is allowed to intervene in Black Swan's resident supply, is it possible that Black Swan will "change ownership"?So, stay where it is cool, no matter how professional or cheap the team is!

After hearing this, Fudexi said that Lichen and Amoya were actually the same breed. One took the opportunity to hook up with the elves, and the other tried to reach into Fuzhao's grace in vain. From the perspective of courage and thinking, there is basically no difference.

In any case, the grace of daylight came as expected.

The main process is basically the same as five years ago, except that without the blessing of Saenz, Wiggins can only preside over the entire main process alone.His face looks sharper and more mature than it was five years ago. His clear eyes allow people to understand his talent at a glance; The exquisite pattern of the cloak swayed gently with his steps.His new director general's dress is more luxurious, and even the staff used for the ceremony has been replaced with a longer and more imposing one.The white magic crystals that have been carefully selected from energy to shape are inlaid in it, and the brilliance is extraordinary.

However, his aura alone is still impossible to match that of Saenz.In order to make up for this, Wiggins no longer chooses from among the civilian saints he cultivated—even though he has the right to choose the saints this time—but let the first Ye Lian of the temple and another The female officer acts as a saint.

The female officials trained by the Sarnlich family are always more majestic than the civilians taken in by Wiggins.

Wiggins on the stage seemed weak, but the auditorium off the stage gave people the illusion of "star-studded".

"Fire Rose" Tanya Joch, who came in disguise but is still hard to ignore, a first-class aesthetic elf who doesn't show her face or wear fancy clothes but still packs up formally and decently, and... straight back with black A black swan with a gold-patterned uniform on his body.

His searching eyes swept over and over the only black figure.

After the solemn but seemingly lengthy ceremony, the image of Zhenbao finally came, and the majestic power of light unleashed.No matter inside or outside the temple, the people who were inspired felt that their body and mind had been cleansed, and some people fell to the ground involuntarily and wept.

The doors of the cella were opened and closed again, and those who remained were for a closer, more reverent approach to the treasure.

Finally came the time to go on stage one by one to pray for enlightenment.

This time Li Chen sat on the edge of the first row, and Tania sat on his left.Taniya boarded the platform, and soon finished praying, then she stood up and turned around, her eyes clearly and accurately fell on Li Chen.

Li Chen could only smile politely at her.

Tanya walked down with her skirt in her hand, stood by the side, but did not leave. It seemed that she was determined to see Li Chen's situation when she prayed.

It's not just her.When Li Chen stood up, several nobles who were about to leave stopped their steps and turned their heads to look at Li Chen's figure.There were obviously three futons on the stage, but when Li Chen went up, no one stepped onto the platform.

Everyone was so silent, watching the black kneeling in front of the formation that transmitted the image of the treasure, and slowly crouching down.

Will the black swan...will get the gift of treasure again?

I'm actually... all right.Li Chen pressed his forehead against the back of his hand, thinking to himself.

I know my goal, I know the path to get there, and I know I'm on my way toward it, and that's enough.

To be honest, the tree of life of the elves is a good answer to questions, and Li Chen has nothing more important than "going back" to pray to Zhenbao.After thinking about it, he chose a simple request, a request that was very similar to five years ago, and a request that had become his belief for decades.

Please...help me go back!

There is the greatest help, but it may also be the greatest resistance; there is the clearest direction, but it may also be the most illusory dream.Sometimes Li Chen feels that he is getting closer to success, and sometimes he feels that he is gradually sinking into the quagmire.All kinds of emotions, numerous obstacles, and unpredictable variables have never been absent on his way forward, but Li Chen has never been lost.

He was just worried... yes, he was just worried at the moment, worried that having two hands would become a shackle to hold him back.

He didn't know how to pray for Zhenbao to respond to him in this regard. In the end, he could only choose a method that was a bit ridiculous but seemed feasible.

Please grant me luck!

He silently read eight characters in his heart, in Chinese.

——Everything goes well, my luck is prosperous.

In the afternoon, Tania arrived at the territory of the black swan.

There are delicious refreshments on the table, and the beautiful red-haired waitress is sitting at the table, making and pouring tea gracefully.She is the proud student of Khorkina, the first female officer of the Black Swan. She usually manages a lot of trivial affairs, but she often comes to prepare afternoon tea for Li Chen and his guests by herself.

Tania did not sit in the seat prepared for her, she walked to the window of the living room and stopped in front of a small decorative round table.On the table was a plain flared vase with a single flower in it—a sprig cut straight from a tree.

It is like a very bright red plum branch, which blooms but does not grow leaves, and there is only one bright color on the branch; but it is not like the cold and proud red plum, independent of frost and snow, but crowded together lively.The branches in the upper part of it extend to all directions, and the full and gorgeous flower clusters are clustered on the branches of different thicknesses, forming a very dazzling hemispherical shape.With a plain bottle and a simple small table, coupled with the natural light brought by the window, it is really the most eye-catching embellishment in this space.

Tania always liked red, and she couldn't put it down so much, but she was afraid of knocking off the small flowers, so she only gently moved the small petals with Koudan: "This flower looks familiar, the one at the foot of the mountain One, little black bird?"

Li Chen didn't want to correct the various nicknames she gave Black Swan anymore, so he could only smile: "Yes, you have always been so wise, respected madam."

"Oh..." Tanya commented meaningfully, "No wonder it's as red as blood."

Li Chen had nothing to say, he couldn't say to Tania, "That's right, it was the head I gave to your son that was raised from it", right?

"However, I'm curious." Tanya turned around, leaned against the window with her hands behind her back, and the natural light and shadow cast a faint light edge on her body, "Isn't this kind of plant blooming now? Why? ...Would such a wonderful miracle happen? I can seem to see the morning dew on the petals when it just fell off."

Tanya used a very common sentence among nobles, which translates to: Why did it bloom in the wrong season?

Well, as we all know, plants that only flower but do not grow leaves usually bloom in spring, or even early spring.And the time to shine on Grace is already late spring and early summer, theoretically speaking, it is impossible for this flower to exist.Especially since Tanya just climbed up from the bottom of the mountain this morning, if the original tree at the bottom of the mountain also blooms, as long as you are not blind, you can see it.

This is actually a trick played by the elves to take advantage of their own advantages, and they sent it to Li Chen as a small congratulatory gift of Zhao Zhao's grace.Of course Li Chen didn't dare to show this "miracle" to the public, otherwise he really couldn't explain clearly, but he didn't expect that he just asked someone to put this thing in Black Swan's private area in the morning, and in the afternoon Tania It means that she wants to visit the black swan.

Before opening the door, Li Chen really didn't know that this flower was arranged here - although it did brighten the room a lot.

Seeing that Li Chen didn't answer, Tanya just smiled, shrugged, came over and sat down: "Okay, okay, I'll let you keep this little secret."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

The red-haired waitress arranged tea and snacks, stood up and prepared to leave: "Is there any other order?"

"It's gone." Li Chen gave her a grateful smile, "Thank you, you can go to work."

The waitress nodded and walked towards the door.She had just touched the doorknob when she heard Tanya shout from behind, "Wait!"

Both Li Chen and the waitress turned to look at her.

"Who is that..." Tanya paused for a moment to think, and then said, "By the way, call Shira over to have afternoon tea with us!"
