Throne Steps

Once the liquidation started, Saenz and Li Chen started talking all night again.

Sometimes Li Chen was really sleepy after talking, and he didn't care whether he was ambiguous or not, so he just fell asleep in Saenz's room.It's not that he and Saenz have slept together, and the nightgown that Saenz gave him is still in the ring!

The second thing I talked about was the matter that followed Farah - Wiggins took away... Oh no, it should be counted as "adopting" Farah's son now.

Of course, Saenz would not have trouble with a three-year-old child, but it is very strange that Li Chen actually gave the child to Wiggins.

Previously, a black swan asked him why he did this, and he perfunctorily said "watching the fun", but of course it was more than that simple.He had three considerations at the time. First, he emphasized that Wiggins did have enough "talent" to make the black swan give in; second, he induced people to speculate that Wiggins was able to take the child away because he could see Third, as long as Farah's child survives for one day, it is to remind Fujalal of his previous "failure".

He didn't tell anyone about these ideas, and the first person he was told was Saenz.

Saenz was not in a hurry to get angry with him for blatantly plotting against the chief minister of the temple.He and Wiggins have been at loggerheads for a long time, and Wiggins got messed up again a while ago, so it's really normal for Li Chen to cheat people.Saenz just thought of the other side and asked, "Are you trying to give Wiggins a boost?"

"...I can't hide anything from you." Li Chen sat on the bed and sighed, "He rushed out so recklessly and disturbed the battle of Suoyang as soon as he came up, more people will think it was your handwriting, his ability Whether it’s true or not is second to none.”

So Li Chen wanted to emphasize his ability, at least to draw everyone's attention away from Saenz.

Li Chen said it calmly, but Saenz understood the twists and turns.Even though Li Chen expresses "rejection" explicitly or secretly, he never delays Saenz's affairs, and almost always puts Saenz first.

Saenz felt more than once that as long as Li Chen is willing, the iceberg can be covered, let alone Saenz is still a person?

Li Chen didn't notice Saenz's distraction, and just continued: "Speaking of which, Wiggins should also understand what it means to 'eat his own fruit'. Everyone knows who that child is, and he can't stop these news. Just look at this When the child grows up, he knows that the chief minister of the temple is the 'helper who kills his father', so what fun will he have?"

Saenz glanced at him: "The child's 'father killer' is also in the temple."

"Well, the person who killed his father 'grows with him', what a wonderful life."

Saenz glanced at him lightly: "When it comes to dying, sometimes you and Wiggins are really on par."

The third one is about Wiggins' letter.

This matter has nothing to do with the two of them in theory, but they can't really ignore it.Moreover, what Wiggins did was too "a thunder on the ground", which caused Saenz and Li Chen, who received the news at the first time, to decide to see how the situation develops.

Then, Wiggins completed a round of thunder and rain, and the finishing work was done by Li Chen and the black swan.

To be honest, such a Wiggins made Li Chen feel at ease.When he mentioned "extreme whiteness" out of the blue, many people suspected that there was a think tank behind him, the kind that escaped all eyeliners.Today, Wiggins still has a foolish style, and it seems that the so-called think tanks are just non-existent.

However, Wiggins' behavior means that he has begun to lose control.As a person who shared the "headquarters" with this chief executive, Li Chen always had to ask his boss for a charter to confirm how to treat him in the future.

"...Don't worry about it for now."

"...Ah?" Li Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly recalled, "Are you planning to deal with him?"

"You can't hide it from me, and I can't hide it from you." Saenz glanced at him, and didn't go around any more. "The funding for Ainuma needs to be changed."

"Eh?"

Black Swan did not rely on Saenz's funding, but instead exchanged funding for Ainuma for the right to enter.Therefore, Li Chen was not shocked when he heard the leader talk about the funding of the temple, but only puzzled.

"As far as I know, the current funding model is that the temple first raises the total annual budget, and then reimburses it on a quarterly basis." Li Chen touched his chin, "It is impossible to cancel it directly, and the restrictions will not be too obvious... Then, it will be fixed. Got the money?"

Saenz raised his eyebrows: "Why do you think so?"

"The fixed amount is enough to maintain the decent operation of the temple, but it's not enough for our chief to make other stupid moves." Li Chen shrugged, "If the chief executive wants to make a big move, he has to find the money himself. According to his current situation The level...will have to be limited for a while."

Saenz smiled: "Then fix the payment."

"Hey!" Li Chen gave him a dark look, "Don't make it sound like I made a decision, okay?"

"You did it."

Li Chen originally wanted to stop him by saying "I made this decision based on my identity", but suddenly an animal-like intuition overwhelmed him, and he subconsciously stopped talking.

When they arrived in Oloire County, Lichen accompanied Saenz to pick up and inspect the goods, and brought back Fujlar's wedding gift.

The gift Saenz ordered for his brother was a string of necklaces, which were laid out with rare navy blue crushed ore, and a shiny white magic crystal was inlaid in the middle cluster.Anyone who knows a little bit about magic crystals can see the energy contained in magic crystals at a glance.

Magic crystals are rare, but Saenz has actual control over Samirli's mine veins, and there is always a way to change them.If he wanted to come to Oloire County to pick up things, it was because the processor Saenz entrusted was a private expert, and his shop was hidden in this mercenary city.

Even Li Chen, who has seen many rare treasures in two lifetimes, also feels that this gift is really full of aura.

Rare ores and rare magic crystals are not too rare under the influence of Eternal Color, but this processing has abruptly elevated this item to a higher level.That is to say, Saenz's vision is vicious, otherwise this combination of ingredients would easily be too ingenious.

Of course, if we want to talk about the top level of aesthetics that Li Chen has ever seen, we have to count the elves.

After Saenz received the gift, he "invited" Li Chen to watch the wedding ceremony in Fjalal.

"Farewell, I'm afraid His Highness will send someone to assassinate me."

Li Chen resolutely refused.On the one hand, of course, it is because he has just died, so it is better to avoid the limelight; on the other hand, Li Chen really does not want to continue this kind of "dating" journey.

Saenz didn't expect him to agree, so he glanced at him meaningfully, and finally let him go.

The day of Fujalal's big wedding finally arrived.

There is a faint trend of celebration in the whole of Raetia, and people's excitement is as high as last year's Sunshine Grace.Although it actually has nothing to do with them, and Fujalal didn't celebrate it in the whole Federation, but this is the first wedding of the younger generation of pure white, and Retia hasn't experienced such a thing for a long time. happy event.

When nobles with status and people with various purposes headed to the capital of the temple, the operation of the Ainuma Temple continued as before.

In the summer afternoon, the fountain in the atrium looks crystal clear under the sun, and the splashing water brings a touch of coolness to people.The children played in the atrium, laughing and laughing, and the passing temple staff all smiled.

The youngest child was only three years old. He couldn't keep up with his older brothers and sisters, so he started running anxiously.

"Wow!"

The child couldn't stop the car at once, bumped into the thigh of a passing pedestrian, and subconsciously hugged him.He came back to his senses and looked up in a little panic.

The other party is also looking at him.

This is a young man.He has black hair and black eyes, and wears ordinary uniforms. At first glance, he is no different from ordinary believers.But when he lowered his head, his face was against the light, and he looked down expressionlessly, it still made the three-year-old shudder.

The child who was still laughing a moment ago immediately let go of his hands.

"Ah, sorry!"

The staff who looked after the children hurried over and took away the child who had hit someone.He looked at the young man with respect and fear, but he didn't have the kindness and intimacy when facing other people, and he didn't have the sense of respect and love when facing the chief executive.After just one glance, he lowered his head and stood there not daring to move.

The children in the yard seemed to be infected by this scene, they stopped playing and stared at this place without saying a word.

The only sound left in the atrium was the splashing water of the fountain.

The young man glanced sideways at the staff member who was standing beside him with his head bowed. He didn't say a word about his behavior of taking the child away, but asked indifferently: "This is...Falah's child?"

The staff was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became more nervous.He didn't answer yes or no, but smiled apologetically and turned the child behind him, then continued to face the young man with his head down.

Seeing this, the young man smiled inexplicably and walked away.

Behind the young man was a temple lady in a white robe. She nodded to the staff and followed the young man's footsteps. Behind him were a few men who were also dressed in casual clothes.They walked forward behind the young man, and their eyes glanced at the young child who was hiding behind the staff, intentionally or unintentionally.

The staff shrank back in panic, and did not look up again until the last pair of shoes in the row disappeared from view.

"Brown." He turned around and picked up the frightened and dazed child. "When you see them in the future, stay away from them, you know?"

Farah's three-year-old son, Brown, nodded half-understanding.

They looked at the backs of the group of people. They were obviously silent footsteps, but they seemed to have an extremely oppressive aura.Wherever he passed, people stopped and bowed their heads in greeting.Most of the people had the same expression of trepidation as the childcare staff, only a few high-ranking female officers greeted these people with smiling faces.

Similarly, only these female officials got the response from the youth.Others, at most, got a smile and a nod from the female officer behind the young man.

It wasn't until their backs completely disappeared that the atrium became lively again.A seven or eight-year-old child ran to the staff, tugged at his skirt, and asked with a raised face, "Is that the 'Black Swan'?"

"Shh-!"
