Throne Steps

Li Chen went to the pharmacy for two days in a row. Locke, who picked him up and dropped him off, was a talker, so he explained his identity to him in a short time.

The Rock Eagle Mercenary Group, with its base camp located in the inland non-territorial area of ​​Retia, has never fallen out of the top three mercenary unions in the past 30 years. More than 60 years ago, it was founded by a famous traveling warrior and his magician friend, and it has developed into a famous mercenary organization with hundreds of members.Continuing the tradition of the founder, the leaders of the previous mercenary groups have been served by a warrior and a magician, and it is now the third time.Otar and Kaga are the head and deputy head of Rock Eagle, respectively.According to Locke's description, Otar is extremely talented and is now a level 8 fighter; although Kaga is a little behind, he is already in a stable period of level 7, and because of his quick mind and decisive decision-making, he has become the behind-the-scenes of Rock Eagle today. decision makers.

As for Locke, he is just a crane tail fighter who has just reached level 6.

Kaga has a younger brother who is studying at the Pesa Department of Magic, and Kaja will come to visit at the beginning of each school year.And the reason why these two pivots appear in Pesa now is entirely because Otar dragged the entire small team along with Kaga just after finishing the group mission this time.

As for why you can't go home and watch it during the holiday, that's a question that Locke wouldn't be stupid enough to ask if he didn't talk about Li Chen.

What Li Chen was concerned about was naturally the pattern on Locke's great sword.According to Locke, the two founders of Yanying got a pair of weapons - Locke said proudly: "It's mine!" The raw materials, forging, functions, etc. seem to be different, the only thing in common is the almost identical patterns on the handles.And the most important part of this pattern later became the badge pattern of Rock Eagle.

Even if this shape does not have a little bit of edge with rock eagle.

No one knows what the pattern represents.Perhaps the original founder made it clear, but the warrior has passed away, and it is Locke who inherits the great sword—this seemingly reliable and simple fool apprentice—he knows nothing; and the magician, in the second generation The leader disappeared before entering Rock Eagle.There is even a legend in Yanying that one day he said he went out for a walk and never came back.

Li Chen thought for a while, and asked Locke how old his teacher died.

"The teacher is very powerful. Although he is a human being and has experienced ups and downs, he still has a long life." Locke thought for a while, "Even he himself doesn't remember clearly, but I think it is about two hundred years old."

The life expectancy of the most ordinary human beings in this world is the same as in the original world, and Li Chen felt that these two hundred years were indeed monsters.

"However..." Locke dropped a more mysterious message, "According to the teacher, his magician friend is older than him."

Li Chen thought about the hand of the necromancer he saw.

The hand that seems to have just stepped into the elderly—or middle-aged and elderly—is not so much the magician himself, it is more reasonable to say that it is a hereditary person.

There was very little information about the magician back then, let alone whether he had apprentices or relatives.Li Chen investigated here, but the clues stopped decisively.

On the third day, Lichen didn't let Locke come to pick him up.Although Lailier is talking about afternoon tea, just to be on the safe side, she is still ready for a "long-term war of resistance".

Lairier lives in a small compound near Pesa.Although the area is small, she is already known in Sarnlich for her kindness and kindness. In addition to this kind of place where every inch of land is precious, this small courtyard is enough to miss her.

Li Chen spent two days pondering her thoughts, and felt that there were too many variables, so he had to go honestly.Fortunately, Lairier usually invites some Pesa students to share afternoon tea, and it is not too abrupt for Li Chen to post invitations to the main entrance.He was led all the way, directly into the Sarnlich's backyard.

The girl is wearing a robe today, which looks like a style commonly used by magicians, but she has modified it with some ingenuity, making her more unique.When Li Chen entered, she was stirring the cup with a small golden teaspoon, and the smiling face she turned around was kind and gentle.

There won't be another "Saenz Showdown" again... Li Chen always feels that the beginning of this scene has a sense of sight, and he feels that the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth.

Lailier really didn't go straight to the point like Saenz.This girl seems to really regard Li Chen as a good friend, and only chats with the fragrant afternoon tea.The topics ranged from Li Chen's life in the new semester to the mispronounced words of the senior representatives, from Pesa's specialties to the school's weird talk, and even Li Chen didn't find any obvious traces of deliberately leading the topic.

"Oh, yes, dear." Lairier suddenly remembered something, and brought up the topic again, "I heard that you went to visit Yanying?"

Is this the theme?Li Chen seemed defenseless: "Yes, Your Highness."

No, the invitation came before Rock Eagle, so it was probably a transitional topic.

"That's great, I want to see it too—I heard that the mercenary group is an interesting place." Lailier took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "How did you meet them?"

"I met it in the pharmacy where I worked." It's not difficult to know these things as long as you do some research. Li Chen had already thought up the explanation for this matter, and smiled a little shyly, "They need some supplements for common medicines. Just go and see if I can make some extra money."

"Huh? You can already make finished potions?" Lailier appreciated without hesitation, "It turns out that you are a child who has hidden a hand!"

Lailier is two years older than Saenz, so she can indeed be called Lichen's child.However, Li Chen's two generations add up to 32, even if he has encountered many people, he will still be embarrassed by this situation.

"I used to work in a pharmacy before, and I can still master junior pharmacists." The boy's expression was filled with unconcealable pride, but he was taken aback for a moment, and then became a little anxious, "Your Highness, I am not a junior pharmacist." Potions outside the level regulations!"

The pharmacist qualification certificate is issued by Retia, and pharmacists can only perform corresponding duties after passing the assessment and obtaining the corresponding certificate—those who leapfrog will be punished.In Pesa's Alchemy Department, students will uniformly obtain various elementary certificates when they enroll, so as to facilitate teaching and experiments.It is precisely because the primary qualification certificate is too easy to obtain, and for safety reasons, the alchemy department has a regulation that "the sale of potions that exceed the level requirements is strictly prohibited".

Lailier was stunned after hearing Li Chen's words, as if she just remembered this matter, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't mention this."

It doesn't matter whether you mention it or not, anyway, what Li Chen wants is "image building".

"However, that's how you know Yanying." Lairier said, "I thought you knew someone from the magic department—I heard that the magic department has the younger brother of the head of Yanying."

Did you say it wrong on purpose?Li Chen blinked: "It belongs to the deputy head. I haven't seen it yet."

"Really? Well, I'm really confused." Lailier stuck out her tongue playfully, and changed the subject as if to avoid embarrassment, "Speaking of which, you do know people from the magic department, right—the day I met you How many pieces are there?"

coming!

Li Chen's eyelids twitched: "Yes, Your Highness. Wiggins and Noah are magic students."

"Let me just say, I still have a little impression." Lailier said happily, "I still remember, saying that you are that Estor's boy?"

The original target was Wiggins.Li Chen scratched his head embarrassingly: "Yes, the young master kindly took me in before."

"I heard that Estor's children are all in Pesa, and now there is you." Lairelle laughed, "It seems that Estor's tutor must be very good."

In hell you'd be interested in that governess.Li Chen showed a dispensable expression: "The teacher is a very knowledgeable person."

Lailier doesn't have this ability to observe words and emotions, seeing that Li Chen doesn't seem to be interested in this topic, she smiled and said: "In short, his students are all in the Warrior Department, Magic Department and Alchemy Department. Besides—"

She paused, raised the teacup and shook it lightly: "Wiggins is recommended, your teacher must be most proud of him."

This statement sounds normal at first glance, but it is actually quite different from the truth.Li Chen wondered for a while, "Is this pretending not to have investigated Wiggins' family?" and then thought, "Actually, she really doesn't know about Estor's situation." Nonsense nonsense: "Young, young master, he..."

"You're still called Young Master?" Lailier said with a smile, "You are free now, right?"

"Ah, for a while..." Li Chen scratched his head embarrassingly. ——If you don’t say that, how can you completely eliminate your doubts and defenses against me?

"Be careful next time, you are an excellent kid who can be admitted to Pesa!" Lairelle laughed, "You just wanted to say what happened to Wiggins?"

"Stop...Wiggins, he..." The little boy made a nervous expression, "Hey, I forgot what to say..."

Lailier chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's fine if you don't remember it." She seemed to ask unintentionally: "But speaking of it, Wiggins... what kind of element is he affinity with?"

Elemental affinity is just a general term for magic power. Every magician will be more or less biased towards specific elements, which is why the differentiation of wind, fire, water and even necromancers appears.Even the families that have been given the color of eternity have obvious inclinations towards elements. For example, Meloyer, the color of sea blue, is a well-known breeding ground for water mages.

Wiggins has silver hair and brown eyes. Neither of these two colors has ever been among the eternal colors. In addition, Wiggins is a person who has only talent but no strength for the time being.

On a small scale, it can be thought that the girl is full of interest in a rare talent; on a large scale, it is that Lailier wants to know whether this color brings new—or hidden— High magic talent branch.

This is not something to chat with a child.Although Li Chen had some guesses about Wiggins' talent, he still put on a confused expression, expressing that he didn't know what the other party wanted to say.

Lailier also seemed to find this topic a bit awkward, so she added with a smile: "It's my statement that is not very good, let's put it another way—does Wiggins usually have any special performance?"

Li Chen had determined that the girl probably belonged to the two factions of Saenz. He weighed what he could say and what he couldn't say, showing a hesitant expression: "I, I only know..."

Lily looked at him encouragingly.

"All I know is that on the day Fuzhao Grace..." The young boy swallowed his saliva, as if trying to organize his words, "Young master seems to have seen something that everyone can't see."

Lailier's eyes flickered for a moment.
