Throne Steps

Now that Li Chen has come to Saenz's side, it is naturally impossible for him to hang out with Fudexi and Ogyseus all day long.

Fudexi and Augsius were temporarily "freed", and the two didn't mind it, but when Fudexi was about to leave after "meeting" Saenz, he suddenly said: " His Majesty asked me to convey his regards to you."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows: It's been so long since I've been back, and I'm only saying this greeting now, who would believe it?

Saenz didn't show his expression of belief or disbelief, but just nodded: "I see, please also bring my greetings."

Li Chen felt that this was even more meaningless.If Fudexi wanted to pass on a message to him, it would be better for him to release a divine bird, snow swallow or even a gale bird himself. It would definitely be faster than waiting for Fudexi to see the Elf King next time.

Then, Li Chen found that Saenz was facing the direction of the door in a daze after "watching" Fudexi and Ogyseus go out.

Li Chen stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him: "Saar? Your Highness?"

Saenz's eyes focused back and landed on Li Chen: "You seem to have brought someone else to rescue the disaster?"

The words were too ambiguous, Li Chen thought for a few seconds before tentatively asking: "You mean...Menzel?"

Saenz nodded.

In fact, Saenz had wanted to ask this topic a long time ago, but after the meeting yesterday, he basically talked about things related to Saenz, so he only remembered to ask today.

"What did you bring him for?" Saenz frowned, "I said, his origin cannot be determined, it is very dangerous."

Whether it was Fudexi who just came back or Saenz who had been staring at Li Chen, they felt that Menzel appeared too strange to be credible.However, Li Chen said "beware of him", but in fact the work assigned to him is always more important.In Saenz's view, this is almost like being bewitched by an evil spirit, especially since Li Chen dared to put this unknown person into Saenz's ongoing "disaster relief business".

For a while, Li Chen couldn't explain clearly, and he couldn't explain the reason clearly, so he could only think about it and replied: "I feel that he didn't come after you, and it's not yet time for him to play tricks, so it should be fine."

"'Should'?" It was rare for Saenz to hear such vaguely defined words from Li Chen, and he couldn't help but sneered, "Then do you understand that you are endorsing him now? I don't ask if you can There is no guarantee that he won't make trouble, I just ask you, if something goes wrong with him, can you take responsibility?"

Li Chen didn't dare to say "yes" right away, because Saenz was his "superior".If Li Chen himself had to take the responsibility, Saenz would not be able to completely escape, it would definitely be joint and several.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Saenz continued: "I also heard that you are letting him participate in a secret experiment."

Li Chen's heart skipped a beat.

"Time lingers", the opportunity for Menzel to become an important role is also a secret that Li Chen has been keeping.

To be honest, if Saenz really wants to investigate, Li Chen feels that he has no strength to hide it.He and Saenz are only maintaining a delicate balance now, that is, if he tries to conceal it, Saenz will not forcefully tear it apart for the time being.

Li Chen couldn't tell whether it was Saenz's win-win method, or something else... Emotional expression, in short, he just used it.

Not only the book that Fuzhao Grace suddenly appeared five years ago, but also the chain reaction brought about by that book, and even the appearance of Menzel, he used the tacit understanding he had reached with Saenz to keep Keep quiet about it.

Therefore, when Saenz started to get to the bottom of these questions, Li Chen actually didn't know how to answer them.

It takes a hundred lies to make a lie, not to mention that it is impossible for Li Chen to deceive a Saenlich.

Perhaps it was because Li Chen had been silent for too long, Saenz's eyes quietly changed several times, and finally turned into a look of helplessness.

The relationship between him and Li Chen is already weird enough, with enough gaps and obstacles, so let's not add new variables.

"I see." Saenz sighed, showing an expression mixed with disappointment and hope, "Then I will reserve my opinion for the time being, you...don't let me down."

How many people in the world can resist a pure white man showing a weak expression?Li Chen lowered his eyes and staggered his eyes, and replied firmly: "I will defend your honor to the death."

"My honor can be defended by myself." Saenz said, "You take care of yourself. If he is not coming for me as you said, he is just trying to stir up trouble with you. You should be careful not to burn yourself."

He showed weakness one after another, Li Chen really couldn't bear it, so he could only leak a little bit.

"Actually, I have a rough guess about his origin." Li Chen whispered, "What we need now is just confirmation."

"Do you need help?"

"unnecessary."

"A 'wolf', an 'elf', in fact, I wouldn't be surprised by anyone around you." Saenz said quietly, "I hope you understand what you are doing."

Li Chen replied: "I will never get lost."

Because my goal has always been only one.

Soon, the chat topic in the resettlement site of the disaster victims was updated.

His Royal Highness Saenz was found, safe and sound, but needs a period of recuperation.During the recuperation period, he will not come out frequently, but the power of disaster relief will never stop.The dam will be repaired as soon as possible, and new supplies will be distributed as soon as possible.Due to physical reasons, Saenz will not attend this year's Sunshine Grace, but it can be guaranteed that his people must be in the Northland during the Sunshine Grace.

In addition to these more formal news, another topic that the disaster victims are happy to talk about is the "folk legend" - the black swan.

Because the news of the arrival of the black swan spread wildly among the victims within a few days, there was news that Saenz, who was involved in the flood, had been found, so many victims believed that the finding of Saenz was partly caused by the black swan. credit.

"My lord."

Menzel, who was passing through the victims, was suddenly caught by the skirt of his clothes. He looked back and saw a little girl looking up at him: "I heard that you rescued His Highness, is this true?"

Menzel didn't believe that the pure white man was really saved by the black swan—to be precise, the black swan's Li Chen—but he wouldn't firmly deny this, he just replied: "I I’m not sure, sorry. But I believe that His Highness’s safety is what we all sincerely hope for, and no matter who can help His Highness under such circumstances, it is a great honor for that person.”

His words were very skillful, but the other party was just a little girl less than ten years old, and he could only show a confused expression after hearing it.

So Menzel looked at her and said calmly: "I have to treat other people, can you let me go?"

"Ah, I'm sorry!" The child's mother ran over, hugged the little girl away, and then bowed to Menzel, "I'm sorry, my lord, she is still young and ignorant, I am really sorry."

Menzel said "It's okay", turned around and left.

He goes to help out in a tent at a medical point where another alchemist belonging to Black Swan is also there.The two cooperated to change the bandaging medicines of several patients in the tent. Menzel also used a little water magic to clean the room a little bit before they left the tent together.

"The news of the black swan is spreading in the resettlement site. It must be what Li Chen and the others have done." Menzel said, "It's a pity that we don't know anything, even the news about the black swan itself is still from the rumors in the market. here."

The black swan next to him gave him a strange look: "If you are free, I suggest you go to the medical supplies collection point to help. I heard that a batch of new medicines just arrived yesterday."

Then, regardless of Menzel's reaction, the black swan went straight away.

Even though the black swans always go their own way, Menzel smiled wryly.

He was the leader of the alchemists appointed by Li Chen to go to the disaster area this time. Although the alchemists did not disobey him, they really did not hide their hostility towards him.Going to the medical supplies collection point to help deal with new medicines, it was clear that he was just going to be a porter.

As Saenz and Fordhi thought, who would trust a person of unknown origin who has soared into the core of a supposedly rigorous organization?

Although Li Chen seems to be very nice to Menzel, it can be said that it is Li Chen's superficial "laxity" that makes everyone around Li Chen extremely vigilant against him.

"It's not good to go on like this..." Menzel wiped his face, "It's hard to get close to him, so he won't be so guarded against me."

With that said, he turned and walked towards the medical supplies collection point.

When the flood began to recede, Lichen received a breaking news from Saenz.

"Fjalal's wife is pregnant?!"

Li Chen was surprised: "I am pregnant at this time, isn't it...announced at this time?!"

Saenz took the note in his hand, scanned it again, and burned it with magic: "Well, at this time, what?"

"Is he crazy? How long did it take for the news that you were injured so long to recuperate?" Li Chen expressed incomprehension, "Besides, the royal family is keeping a close eye on his lineage. Why is he attracting attention at this time?!"

Saenz looked at him: "Pregnancy is a blessed thing, he can have a child whenever he wants."

"Of course." Li Chen replied, "But the time for him to announce the news is inappropriate."

Saenz waited for his next words.

"I don't care how much attention he will add to the Southwest, but he has robbed people of your attention, which is undeniable." Li Chen squinted his eyes, "You have been very prosperous for a while, and you suddenly disappeared. Stop it, he wants to interrupt this aftertaste."

He looked very serious when he spoke, and Saenz also looked at it seriously, but what Saenz thought was not how his elder brother would trick him, but "Sure enough, only Li Chen would think of this step for me."

When Li Chen always felt that no one could resist the affectionate pure white color, Saenz always felt that no one could resist a person who always thinks of you, treats you better than yourself, and knows how to please you better than yourself. your people.

Because once he really leaves you, you will think of him uncontrollably and all the time.

Saenz wanted to hear more about Li Chen's words to protect him, so he asked, "So, what's your plan?"

Li Chen didn't doubt that he was there, so he thought for a while and said, "... Some negative news for Southwest?"

Occupying the headlines, but leaving people with mixed feelings, it will be easier for Saenz, who is silent as a hero, to get people's preference?

"Negative news?" Saenz rested his chin on one hand, "For example?"

Li Chen smiled suddenly: "For example... Farah's son, Brown is still alive!"

The road to "recovering the country" always sounds like it will make the little boys' blood boil, doesn't it?
