Throne Steps

Saenz rested in the village for a whole day, and went to say goodbye to Kunta early on the third day.

"Going west?" Kunta leaned on the couch, resting his head on one hand, "Can you tell me the news over there when you come back?"

Saenz raised his eyebrows: "We didn't have this when we negotiated."

"That's right." Kunta sighed, "You agreed to take care of the fart, but the one in the west may not be happy."

"Then don't ask." Saenz waved his hand, "I'll only take a few away, and leave the rest to you. I'm going to take a cage of snow swallows away, and divide them as soon as possible."

Snow swallows, called "yan", are not actually passerines, but pigeons.It is gray in summer and white in winter, and its tail feathers are divided into two clusters. It is dexterous and extremely cold-resistant, and can travel through snow-capped mountains. It is an important "postman" for Kunta and others to communicate with the Raetia Federation.

Kunta provoked a smile: "Didn't you call it 'the magic bird transmits sound, a thousand miles in a day'? Do you know how expensive Xueyan is?"

"If you pay, you will gain." Saenz ignored Kunta's arguing, and led Li Chen out.I happened to meet Danlu in the porch, and the blond girl greeted them with a smile.

Saenz had nothing to say to Danlu. In a way, Danlu was better than Saenlich, so Saenz said, "Don't get into trouble."

Dan Lu naturally agreed.

When Saenz left, Kunta happened to come out and ran into Danlu again.Although the two still had business to discuss, they greeted each other with smiles when they were not working.Although it was only early in the morning, when Kunta opened his mouth, he said nasty words: "Look, he's old and decrepit, won't he take you with him?"

Dan Lu rolled around in the world of mortals, and his face was not covered. He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If it were me, I would also take those two young darlings with me."

The people led by Saenz are still the same climbing team as before, except for Dan Lu.Li Chen originally thought that going west would be more dangerous—after all, it is a mysterious place for most of the residents of Letia—unexpectedly, this journey seemed much smoother than before, and there were no Aiye beasts. enemy.

Of course, with Li Chen's keenness, he didn't have doubts for too long.As a "thousand array cut", it is not difficult to find that the route of Saenz's belt is unusual.Even if he can't clearly know what formation it is, but because he has a good sense of direction, at least he can judge from the route that there is indeed a strange rune here.And Wiggins was really talented, and soon noticed the regular flow of elements, and then guessed the effect of a magic circle nearby.

After traveling safely and fast for more than a week, everyone finally stopped under the command of Saenz.

"Defensive formation, don't move without my order."

Everyone stood up, Saenz took a look and walked forward.He had just taken three steps forward, when he heard a "whoosh", a very thin shadow came through the air, nailed in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Li Chen stood in front and saw the "flying misfortune" at a glance.I saw it inserted obliquely on the ground, the top submerged in the grass, the shaft was slender and straight, and there were three tail feathers embedded in the tail.When it was just inserted, the tail feathers vibrated slightly with the shaft for a moment.

This is of course an arrow.It looks very inconspicuous in the visible part alone, and its color scheme is no different from that of trees and birds in the jungle.It is this protective color that makes it extremely difficult to detect until the second before launch.

Saenz didn’t take a second look at the arrow, he took out another ring from the space ring—perhaps more like a finger puller—and put it on the thumb of his right hand, then stretched his right hand forward and walked forward two steps.

"My name is Saenz Vagchenau Saenlich."

Something shot out from the jungle, and Saenz easily caught it. It was a palm-length slender vial filled with a light green liquid.Saenz handed it back: "Li Chen."

"Yes." Li Chen stepped forward in two steps, took the vial, and uncovered it with several small formations for defense and detection.He put the mouth of the bottle near his nose, put the cork back on and handed it back to Saenz: "This is the truth wash, Your Highness."

The truth-cleaning agent, as the name suggests, is a potion that washes out the truth, and can remove the effects of many concealing potions.In the Raetia Federation, its most famous "opponent" is the transformation potion.

Saenz took a sip from the air without much hesitation, and then handed it to Li Chen again.Li Chen imitated his Highness and took a sip, and gave it to Wiggins as Saenz ordered.Wiggins wasn't sluggish either, pouring the last sip into his mouth.

Li Chen reached out to take the bottle back, and put it into the interspatial ring calmly.He had expected such an incident on this trip, and had already borrowed Danlu's cosmetics as a second layer of protection.Although the effect is not as good as the transformation potion, at least it doesn't drop the vest instantly.

The three showed their "true faces", and only then did a figure appear in the jungle.He is tall and tall, with a handsome face, slightly pointed ears, and long brown hair tied into a ponytail at the back of his head; he is wearing a close-fitting blue-yellow soft shirt, a simple and practical light armor, and a short wooden bow on his back—— It looks like an elf described in the epic.

This appearance is of course superior among the masses of Letia, but it can only be regarded as a common level among the aristocratic circle.And when Saenz stood opposite him, it was almost a judgment call.

Overshadowing the limelight of the elves at a glance, the faces of the Sarnlich family are worthy of being world-renowned for their good looks.

The elf's attitude was lukewarm, as if he only confirmed the faces of the three people - especially Saenz's face - and waved his hands sideways, not respectfully but gracefully giving way to one direction.

The brown-haired elf led people to the depths of the jungle. Under the cover of layers of trees, the forest that should have been denser and denser gradually opened up space.Li Chen's element sensitivity is not high, but he can guess that there must be many enchantments wrapped here.Out of the consciousness of being prepared for emergencies, Li Chen shook his hand, and a hexagonal chip slightly larger than a thumb rolled out of the ring, and it quietly stuck to his palm.

However, after ten steps, Li Chen suddenly and clearly felt a wave slipping past his body.Li Chen felt the sudden heat from the chip in his palm, and his heart trembled. Before he could retract the chip in his hand, the brown-haired elf in front turned his head and stared at it.

Li Chen clicked his tongue secretly, but still pretended to be nonchalant.He was about to use his magic power to take back the hexagonal chip, but Saenz turned around and stretched out his hand: "Don't do unnecessary things."

protect me?Li Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled pretending to regret, and stretched out his hand to hand over the hot hexagonal chip.I thought that Saenz was just going to take it away, but before he spread his hand, the slender and beautiful fingers grasped his hand.The palms of the two joined together, and the chip disappeared in an instant.

The brown-haired elf watched the two clasp their hands together, then turned his gaze to Saenz's face, and finally turned back without saying a word.

Saenz led Li Chen for a few steps without looking back, squeezed secretly, and then let Li Chen go.Li Chen stroked his index finger and thumb, smiled quietly, and followed Saenz without thinking about it.

Of course, Li Chen would not rashly induce other people's barriers. After all, his hexagonal chip was only used to record barriers.In order not to disturb the defensive effect of the barrier itself, a secret formation was carefully attached to the hexagonal chip.But against the enchantment produced by the elves, it seems that the necromancer's secret formation is not safe.In order to protect himself for the time being, Li Chen decided to stand still.

Other than a remark from Saenz, no one commented on the vignette.Wiggins, who was walking at the back, squinted at the three people in front, and stayed on Li Chen for a few seconds before finally retracting his gaze.

After a quarter of an hour, everyone finally walked into the most important barrier.

This enchantment still doesn't have a strong sense of fluctuation, but the scene in front of you is very different the next moment you enter.Just like the description in the epic - the flowing water meanders up; the tree of life is covered with green canopy.Emerald green, through the starlight, the breeze pierces through the forest and sounds.

Soon, the second, third or even more elves appeared in the eyes of everyone.Surprisingly, they have nothing in common in appearance—of course, apart from being tall and identifiable to the naked eye—their hair color, eye color, and even skin color are slightly different, and some elves even Even the sharp ears are not very obvious.Li Chen secretly guessed, as long as they stripped off their natural-color light body armor and put on Retia's clothes, wouldn't it be unnoticed to mix in the Federation?

When Li Chen observed quietly, the subject seemed to be indifferent.For outsiders who are difficult to see, the elves unanimously expressed their indifferent attitude.Occasionally, those who pass by just look at Saenz for a second. As for Li Chen and Wiggins behind, it is really tiring to look at them one more time.

A creature with a face - Li Chen labels the elves.

After walking along the source of the water to the higher ground for a while, I reached a place where I could not move freely.Behind the intersection guarded by two elves, a section of steps carved out of a narrow mountain ridge climbed slowly.Except for the occasional rocks that snuggle beside, there are no fences on both sides of the ladder, and the further you go, the more precipitous it becomes.After the ladder about one mile long, it is connected to a cliffside platform that suddenly opens up.The platform is in the shape of a semicircle, and the side is divided into three sections with fifteen floors of arc-shaped stairs. On the top floor stands a beautiful building against the mountain.

Hey, look at their style.Ainuma put so much thought into it, but she couldn't see the difference at a glance.

Li Chen sighed secretly in his heart as he walked up.Because of the terrain, the Ainuma Temple has similar architectural patterns to this elf palace.But Lichen put so much thought into it, and it was all compared to the ladder without a handrail.

Even though the ladder is half a foot wide, the cliffs on both sides go straight up and down deep into the clouds and mist, and those who can't bear it mentally will tremble when they look at it.In case of falling, I don't know if there are any protective measures. It is typical whoever goes.Wiggins' performance was even more obvious. Even if he walked in the middle of the road and kept looking up at the palace, his heart couldn't help beating.

Li Chen is not afraid of heights—he often walks up and down the plank road in Ainuma, and even if he has this kind of fear, it is almost gone—even if he looks down, he will tremble all over.

The terrain here should not be high, but the ladder looks so steep, is it because there is a "tiankeng" below?

Li Chen stared down as if trying to pierce through the lingering clouds and mists, and was still thinking about it, when suddenly a hand stretched out and pulled him back into the middle.When he turned his head, he saw Saenz staring at him warningly.

look at the road.Saenz mouthed the word.

Li Chen lowered his eyes and smiled, as a response.

The ladder is not too long, but because of the trepidation along the way, it feels a little strenuous to finish.The elf who led the way did not stop for a moment, and led the three of them directly to the gate of the palace.

The door was opened inward, and a figure was slowly walking from the other end of the hall.The wide-sleeved jacket of Jinhua Daiye dark green silk is added to the body, and the water green silk woven robe with silver thread embroidering edge drags the floor, and the long hair of light linen and gold is almost knee-length.This person's appearance is actually not extremely beautiful or exquisite, but the whole body is luxurious, elegant and arrogant, with a sense of oppressive presence that can almost suffocate people.

This is the king of elves - Mogadishu.

For the first time, Li Chen felt that Saenz's face was not enough.

... Mistake, he didn't change into the set of equipment that Fuzhao Grace used before entering the door.
