Throne Steps

If he didn't participate in the "opening ceremony" of the temple, Li Chen knew that he couldn't finish the apology, so he just ran around the whole Retia without doing anything, trying to let Saenz's anger pass first, and then Go back and bring credit to atone for your "sin".

In order to express his "sincerity", as soon as Li Chen left the city on the southeast coast, he took the initiative to "pick up" Saenz and asked to follow his intelligence team.Yes, he walked secretly and eagerly from the temple back then, and the black swans who gathered were used to sweeping away the traces of his passing, Saenz's intelligence team lost him as soon as they followed Zhuoya Qiumen.

When Li Chen came out, most of the Black Swan members were still checking the people on the "removal list", and the investigation had not yet concluded, so they could not give Saenz a "surprise" in time.But he has nothing to say, and Saenz's intelligence team can write a long story.Less than two days after the two groups met, the "hot" tracking information was placed on Saenz's desk—although it had been empty for a month.

Because Saenz gave the order as soon as he noticed that the little boy had run away, and then he would pass on any information about him directly, without letting the housekeeper handle it.Therefore, Saenz himself directly read the long report written by the intelligence team after holding back for a month.When Saenz read the information, he didn't shy away from the housekeeper. Although the housekeeper didn't intend to read it, he could tell the length of the report at a glance.Looking at the documents piled up on the table waiting for Saenz to make a decision, he suddenly felt that the intelligence team was really idle and had nothing to do, and he started to practice his pen with His Highness!

In fact, the intelligence team is not so dizzy, the important items have been listed in the front, and the following is just a corresponding detailed description.Generally speaking, it includes several points. One is that Li Chen went to the city on the southeast coast before; The magic crystal on the tip of his short staff was almost exhausted.

Although the report of the Intelligence Group is long, it still maintains a more impartial tone in accordance with professional habits.After reading it, Saenz could not say that he became happier or worse. He just leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes for a while to rest. When he opened his eyes again, he turned around and handed it to the housekeeper, telling him to deal with it at his discretion.The housekeeper only glanced at the title and knew it. Among other things, he must start looking for the new short staff magic crystal immediately.When Saenz gave Lichen the scepter, the housekeeper was definitely one of the important roles involved in making the gift. He naturally understood the significance of the scepter to Saenz and Lichen.Li Chen has been holding the short staff for nearly five years and has been using it properly. The concentration of magic power contained in the magic crystal has almost never decreased.Now Li Chen almost completely consumed it when he was absent from the inauguration ceremony of the temple, I am afraid that his temporary trip will not go well.

Fortunately, Li Chen has now returned to the intelligence team's field of vision. It seems that although this trip is difficult, it will not be life-threatening.It's just that I don't know if such vague information will make His Royal Highness's anger lessen, or will it add a new fire that hasn't been sparked.

Saenz was flipping through the documents piled up on the table, and he could feel the eyes of the housekeeper on him after reading the report.He understood that the butler was probing, but his own emotions were not as complicated as the butler thought.Saenz held Li Chen's oath of allegiance, and the strong bond between the two allowed him to observe Li Chen's general state at any time, so he never worried about Li Chen's life when he lost news of Li Chen.It's just that the serious consumption of the magic crystal was somewhat beyond his expectation.Li Chen has used such a large amount of magic power, but he can perceive from the contract that he has not shaken his own foundation. From this, it can be inferred that Li Chen has full control over the use of a large amount of magic power.

Not to mention that he has a well-thought-out plan, at least it should not be unexpected.

Saenz made a judgment, and then narrowed his eyes.The child ran around with the "black swan" and even made a big commotion in a place where he didn't know. Although it made people feel a little unpleasant, it's better to wait until he is in front of him before "losing his temper".After all, the child escaped such an important inauguration ceremony, and now he still wants to escape the dangerous period of "being taught a lesson", how could he take advantage of him like this?

Of course, Saenz, who has mastered the contract of allegiance, wants to deal with Li Chen with ease, and he can also use this to "remind" Li Chen to come back quickly to receive the punishment and not wander around blindly.But the specific situation Li Chen is in now is unknown, if the action and judgment at the critical moment are affected by the movement of the contract, it will be a very unjust death.Saenz felt that any person with normal intellectual development would not do this, and it was even less likely for him to become such a "pig teammate"..."pig leader".

Saenz slowly guessed the "surprise" that Li Chen said he would bring back, and at the same time ordered the housekeeper: "Tell the intelligence team to let him correspond with me."

Saenz didn't say who "he" is, but the butler understood it immediately: "Yes."

"You can 'play' outside, but don't forget the time to go home." Saenz tapped the table with his index finger, and he spoke as if he was talking to himself, but his tone slowed down with a sense of command, "Again The kites that are far away have to come back as soon as they should, otherwise the wind will be strong and the line will be broken, and they will fall."

He didn't say this to the butler, and the butler couldn't respond.But the butler understood that these meanings had to reach Li Chen's ears.Don't look at Li Chen looking at "wild", but he is the one who has the most keen grasp of Saenz's mind, and he is also the most accurate when he hears various news about his highness; don't look at Saenz's "ruthless words" now , when Li Chen really stood in front of him, maybe he would come out with some surprises to make him angry and moved.Oh, this "moving" is what the housekeeper himself thinks.The older butler, who has almost witnessed the growth of the relationship between the two, thinks he can still guess a little about their interaction.Young people, they are so passionate and youthful when interacting.

"One more thing." The housekeeper finished feeling emotionally, and then remembered the "interaction" between His Royal Highness and another young man, "Wiggins wrote to ask what's going to prepare for 'Fuzhao Grace'."

Only remember to prepare when there are only two months left?Saenz didn't even bother to sneer, and directly annotated the document at hand: "Let him go."

The housekeeper was not surprised by the answer: "Yes."

As early as the end of last year, Li Chen confirmed that Saenz would go to the temple to participate in the "Grace of Sunshine", and he has made sufficient preparations since then.Because he was not familiar with the business, he even wrote to the housekeeper for some details, so the housekeeper now knew that Wiggins' question was irrelevant.There are many things, and when Wiggins thinks about worrying about it, it will basically happen.I just don’t know whether the silver-haired young man named Wiggins wanted to ask this inquiry letter, or it was reminded by Noah next to him.

The steward is considering fixing the communication channel of the temple directly on Noah.After all, although His Royal Highness "goes with Wiggins" and Li Chen has made arrangements in advance for the reception equipment in the temple, it is really doubtful whether the silver-haired young man's etiquette can support the "grace".

In mid-March, the southern part of the Rhaetian continent.

Although the base camp of the Southwest Garrison is a barracks, it is still near the city after all.Perhaps due to the influence of the atmosphere of the military camp, this city presents a resolute and simple style that is rare in the south, and at the same time has a subtle tendency to advocate strength.However, this tendency is different from the bold and unrestrained style in the north, and it has a more introverted and scrutinized meaning.

The Southwest Garrison made a big joke when they attacked Suoyang for the first time, and now they can only quietly retreat to the base camp and do some daily training.As for the outstanding soldiers who participated in the first battle, although they were laid down on the wall under the mediation of the southern lords and the negotiations of the southwest garrison and returned to the army without any risk, they were immediately thrown out of the barracks after returning to the base camp.It is said that this result was firstly due to the fact that they were too physically and mentally exhausted to participate in the special attack after the military competition, and it was not suitable to join the training immediately; secondly, they had a very unexpected negative result after all. Just respond to it", so it can be regarded as being punished to stop participating in all military camp activities.

Although he was ordered not to leave the city, this kind of cold treatment is actually more like a vacation.Except for a few thin-skinned soldiers who were hung on the wall and didn't go out very much, the others should eat, eat and sleep, and wandered the streets happily.

Harder is naturally also on the "holiday" list.But when it comes to his performance in special attack activities, he wipes people's necks and leaves, and he never drags his feet.When several squad leaders got together to discuss the assassination of the city lord, he was also the only one who clearly voted against it.Overall, it is the most appropriate one.But considering that he was "at odds" with other people in the army and "created an atmosphere of terror", the officers also took the opportunity to throw him out, so as not to know where to put this hot potato.

The Southwest Garrison required these "vacation" soldiers to report to the army office in the city every other day. Except for walking around the street for a while at this time, Hader basically spent most of his time in the underground arena.The underground arena in this city is rather strange. The Southwest Garrison does not strictly prohibit soldiers from participating in underground competitions, and the arena is relatively well-regulated because of the existence of the Southwest Garrison. At least there will be no chaos on the surface.Harder hangs around here, most of the time he watches the games gloomyly in the magic arena, and occasionally goes down to the non-magic arena for a few fights.Although the arena is a place where life and death are almost conceited, once Harder appeared on the stage, he caused his opponent to have his opponent's limbs cut off, bloody foam and scum flying around once, which almost reached the bloodiest level that the local arena can bear, and it still alarmed Fei Mo. The person in charge of the arena.In addition to the fact that the soldiers were on vacation, Harder's performance as a "violent beast" in the military competition also spread to the ears of all walks of life. The person in charge of the non-magic arena who had heard about it lamented that the Southwest Garrison just kicked the broken ball over like this. , while biting the bullet and negotiating with Hader—after all, judging from the rules of the underground arena, he didn't violate it at all.

Harder was surprisingly good at talking, or rather he was too lazy to talk, and the matter was settled after a few words.He no longer enters the arena without permission, and the arena selects people with some talent but not high levels to practice for him. The opening mode is still the same as the rules of the non-magic arena in the arena.

The rules are certain, and Harder is even rarer when he is off the court.But even so, he stayed in the arena all day long, and closed his eyes in the corner of the noisy auditorium when he was sleepy.Although he couldn't fall asleep, the warm atmosphere mixed with the smell of blood made him peaceful.He can watch the duel in the arena and just sit there all day without thinking about anything.

On this day, as soon as he reported back from the military office, the person in charge told him that he could prepare for the next competition.

I don't know if it's because the range of talented but not very talented people is very subtle, so such people don't often appear in the underground arena.This was the second competition arranged by the person in charge since New Year's Eve. Harder felt a little interested for a while, so he asked who the other party was.

The person in charge said with a smile: "Same as you, he was originally a fighter, but the source of fighting energy was abolished."

These words actually meant to belittle Hader and his opponent, but the person in charge knew that Hader didn't mind about it, so he didn't think too much about his words.Sure enough, Hader just glanced at him with a flick of his eyelids: "Enough?"

"Don't you know when you end up?" The person in charge made a fool of himself, and then said, "Just one thing, the other party said that if you agree, you have to meet his master first."

Harder asked slowly, "Slave?"

"Don't ask me." The person in charge smiled, "I just ask you, have you seen it or not?"

Hadru lowered his eyes and gave an inconspicuous smile: "See you."
