Throne Steps

Of course, Wiggins accepted "Sila" Yang Xiaoxiao, because Li Chen threatened him that this was a task handed over by Saenz.

——This logic is very reasonable. Before Yang Xiaoxiao came out, she had only met three people from the Raetia Alliance. One of them was inconvenient to take care of her, and the other didn't know how to take care of people normally. Only the only professional "philanthropist" Committed.

Therefore, although it was Lichen's own initiative, Saenz, who was thousands of miles away, also replied "casual" after receiving the report.

Without further ado, on the afternoon of returning to the temple, the three giants of the Black Swan—Fodexi, Akye, and Li Chen—finally got down to business in the study.

The first thing Li Chen said was about the "drug base" in Samir... oh no, the Siren Song Research Center.

"If possible, speed up the finishing work." Li Chen looked at his teacup in a daze, "I don't know if Saenz really knows what we are doing or is just bluffing me, if he knows what we are doing, he will be in trouble gone."

Fudexi sneered: "I thought you were a good baby who said everything to him!"

"It's not that I say everything, but I can't hide it. His sources of information are not limited to the witch Xiao En." Li Chen replied, "I have a hunch that if he fully understands what is being researched in the base, he will definitely be in the base. Razed the base before any other intelligence group got there."

"But it won't happen any time soon." Furdhi replied, "Actually, the theoretical part has already been completed, and now all experiments are underway, including the human body... You know, what is needed most is time if you want to see the real effect."

"Okay, time, time." Li Chen leaned back in the chair, raised his head and stared at the ceiling, "addiction, hallucination, gradually irritable, slowly haunted by nightmares, slowly losing himself... this It's not poison, it's drugs!"

Fudexi glanced at him: "But it is not unsolvable. It has an antidote, and there is also soothing tea to prevent recurrence. Your dear highness is a cured case."

"It's not the same." Li Chen shook his head, "'Song of the Siren' can be cured because it bursts out, and its influence may be eliminated before it can completely destroy the will of the person. And the extraction of the base's current experiment Drugs are chronic, imperceptible, and more deeply rooted. Even if you quit physically, it is difficult to get rid of it mentally."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Look, even after so many years, doesn't my dear Highness occasionally order some calming tea in summer? Even if it's just his own emotional ups and downs, he will wonder if it's 'Hai'. The aftermath of Demon Song'."

Li Chen actually thinks that the examples of withdrawal and relapse he saw in his previous life are the most vivid. Unfortunately, Fudexi and Akye are unlikely to feel the same way, and there has never been a similar effect on the Rhaetian continent. It's a very powerful thing, so the narration can only go so far.

Fudexi said: "Anyway, the purpose of letting a person use this thing is not to quit it eventually. Whether they get rid of it mentally can not be considered for the time being."

Furdhi didn't even think these people would live long enough to quit.Just like those desperadoes who are currently used for experiments in the base, no matter what, it is impossible to get out of the base alive.

Li Chen sighed and wiped his face: "Actually, occasionally I wonder if it's a good idea to do this research." He narrowed his eyes, "Maybe we are bringing unknown disasters to Letia .”

Hearing this emotion, Fudexi's face remained unchanged: "Anyway, I am neither a preacher of peace nor a preacher of the Gospel. I never feel that there is a lack of disasters on this continent. But if you feel that the situation has changed, you can find it in On the basis of not leaving any finished products, semi-finished products, or materials, let that base completely shut up."

Li Chen laughed when he heard the words, looked at Fudexi and Akye and said, "Indeed, for you, the days now are considered peaceful."

A son of the curse, a former lone wolf, and all of them were deposed.Life was never peaceful for these two.

He thought for a while, and then said: "...Sieve everyone's loyalty contract again." Li Chen was not a soft-hearted person who dared to use the landslide to cover up his escape. "Once there are any mistakes, there is no need to make up. Let's settle it right away."

Fudexi thought that those who dare to torment "Song of the Siren" are usually more ruthless to themselves than others, and they will not tamper with a loyalty contract.But he still replied: "Get it right away, let them sift it regularly."

"Forget about speeding things up, let's proceed step by step." Li Chen picked up his teacup, shook it, and took a sip, "Finish the experiment well, sort out the materials, and deal with everything that needs to be dealt with. "

The second topic that the three of them talked about was the gossip and gossip about Lailier in response to Fordhi's previous premise.

"We don't need to worry about this matter, let's wait and see what happens, at least for now..." Li Chen explained some of the background that Saenz found to the two of them, and also talked about his and Saenz's guesses, and finally Said, "In short, if the royal family and our highness want to confront each other, we really can't take advantage of it. Although it is a good opportunity to make trouble visible to the naked eye, after all, all your highnesses are pure white. At least on the surface, we should be happy. It’s only good to hug each other harmoniously, otherwise it’s just a joke for others.”

To put it a bit more extreme, it is okay to fight within the DPRK, but it is not okay to collude with the enemy and use external forces to attack one's own compatriots.

Fudexi raised his eyes and glanced at him: "The meaning of this is that you can't act rashly on the surface, but just add fuel to the flames secretly?"

"I think so too, but it's hard to control the speed. Maybe whoever helps the royal family to dig a hole for His Royal Highness in the future will have to fill it in." Li Chen sighed, "If you have any influence on the situation, Before grasping it, it is better to watch the battle.”

Fudexi asked again: "So, we won't be hindered by other pure white colors when we want the approval of the fleet?"

"There may still be obstructions. The bottom line is probably not to make trouble in front of the royal family." Li Chen smiled, "In the end, everyone wants to bypass the royal family, which is a virtual obstacle."

"Speaking of which, the princes and princesses of the royal family are the serious 'His Royal Highness', right?" Fudexi laughed twice, "After listening to nobles being called 'Your Highness' for so many years, the royal family is only thinking about revival now, no Think it's too late?"

"It depends on their methods." Li Chen lowered his eyes and thought silently: After all, the power to formulate laws is still in the hands of the royal family. If they can win over a few promising and rising forces, they may not have no way out.

To mention a pure minister controlling finances is to start to move the string of "law".

Li Chen murmured: "You have to know who the royal family has hooked up with..."

Akye said, "I'll arrange to investigate."

"No need." Li Chen came back to his senses, "His Royal Highness will not let this matter go, and he will investigate more thoroughly. We will always have a chance to find out."

Fudexi said: "Wait, the fiances of the two princesses! Don't we have information?"

He put his hands on the back of the chair, stood up as soon as he turned over, and walked towards the bookcase without stopping: "I remember that the two married people are not particularly prominent... Ah, I found it."

Fudexi took out two thin booklets, turned around and put them back on the table, and flipped two pages for Li Chen: "I remember here... Well, sure enough, the one who married is not the eternal beauty, I can only say that she is still married." Not a bad nobleman. Is this kind of husband's family really planning to help you?" Fudexi sneered, "The prince is still young, with a nobleman of this level, I'm afraid he won't even be able to make it to adulthood..."

Li Chen actually felt a little bit like this, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was not that simple.

"Perhaps it is because the prince is still young that the princesses are not engaged to the top nobles."

"what?"

"Even if you are a princess, you will only be swallowed up if you marry into a 'rich family'. Those nobles who are called 'Your Highness' are not easy to save fuel." Li Chen touched his chin, "Only if you marry someone who is far from the 'top of the tower' There are portals at a considerable distance before it is possible to 'keep yourself'."

Fudexi has not yet reacted: "...What do you mean?"

Li Chen replied, "It's not the nobleman's wife, but the princess's son-in-law, do you understand?"

"You mean to say that the position of the princess must be dominant in the husband's family?"

"At least not completely eliminated."

"But, what is the purpose of doing this?" Fudexi asked, "Even if they can use the power of their husband's family as princesses, there is not much power to control?"

"If you rely solely on the strength of your husband's family, of course it won't work. Oh, it's better to say that it is impossible to achieve the revival of the royal family with the strength of any noble—even the top nobles." Li Chen replied, "In the final analysis, it is not so much the revival of the royal family as it is the gathering of new aristocratic forces in an attempt to redefine the power distribution map."

Fu Dexi thought for a while: "You mean, princesses marrying nobles who are not as influential as themselves are for the purpose of continuing to rely on their own status to gather strength for the prince?"

"The first thing that comes to mind, of course, is to pave the way for the prince." Li Chen hooked the corners of his lips meaningfully, "But you also said that the little prince is still far away from becoming an adult..."

Akye finally spoke: "The eldest princess is the second heir, and the second princess is the third heir."

Fudexi said in surprise: "...the queen?!"

Ulan Dav, the famous commercial city of Raetia and the headquarters of the spontaneous chamber of commerce of the Raetia Union.

A text message was swept lightly by people's eyes.

"My friend:

The expensive, luxury, and boutique businesses mentioned earlier are now known or hopeless, and you can handle the preparation channels yourself.

your forever ally"

The person who read the letter was a young man, or a man.He sat at the table, tapped the armrest of the chair with his index finger, showing a knowing smile.The clothes on his body are not gorgeous in style, nor do they have obvious and bright main colors, but they use the most comfortable and skin-friendly materials.In the hot summer, everything he uses keeps him cool at all times.

Another man sat next to him, and said with a smile: "What makes our young master Amoya so happy, can I have a look?"

Amoya handed over the text message.

The other party glanced at it, then handed it back: "What I see is that the business is bad. Why are you happy?"

"I'm not happy, I just think it's a bit interesting." Amoya lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Pay attention to the new gadgets that appear on the market recently, the source... probably someone you haven't seen before.

The other party replied: "Yes. Do you want to investigate these people?"

"Let's check." Amoya moved his fingertips slightly, and a flame burst out and burned the text message. "It doesn't matter if you can't find out the details of the other party."

There is always room to ask.
