Throne Steps

Fudexi didn't understand why Li Chen had to ask for the arrest warrant in person, logically speaking, it could be exchanged for an express letter.And now that the black swan is in such a mess, it's actually better for Li Chen to stay in charge.

But he didn't know that Saenz personally took people to a small island in the Northeast Sea before, and it is said that he really found news about the dragon.Li Chen just got a "Dragon Drawing Talisman", and was a little curious about what kind of bait the necromancer had left behind, so he decided to take a trip himself.

Moreover, the director of the temple also went to Saenz's place, and Li Chen didn't mind going to listen to what big secret he was going to say.

This time it was Ogyseus who was running with him, because both Fudexi and Akye were busy.

Running all the way from the Ainuma Temple to the capital of the temple, the long-term continuous rotation is exhausting, and the weather is getting hotter and anxious.He had to keep an eye on all kinds of information that came from time to time, and Li Chen was obviously tired both mentally and physically.

When rushing into the Black Swan station closest to the capital of the temple, the full moon was already high in the sky.

It was also impossible to visit Saenz at this time, so Li Chen simply tidied himself up, didn't even have time to read a few pages of information, only confirmed that there was nothing to answer immediately, and fell asleep.

In the dead of night, the eaves cast shadows under the moonlight.In the small building that Akye bought at the beginning, there was silence.Occasionally, a black swan on night watch walked by holding a candlestick, and the figure walked through the corridor accompanied by the smell of kerosene.

In the shadows, around corners, in every conceivable or unexpected place, there are other black swans on duty.

— scrutinizing every movement.

Suddenly, Li Chen who was lying on the bed opened his eyes.

This is……!

The heart was beating violently, and the chaos caused by deep sleep instantly turned into clarity. Li Chen rolled over and sat up with a grunt, almost jumping off the bed.He was still wearing the underwear and pants he had slept in, but he could only grab an all-black cloak with his left hand, and shake out a small cube crystal from the storage ring with his right hand.

Snapped!

The teleportation array lit up, and the next moment, the figure with the black cloak disappeared.

Go back in time a little.

A mansion in the outskirts of the capital of the temple under the full moon.

The lamp stone illuminated the surrounding area, and books were placed on the sofa next to it, and the cover itself was clearly visible.However, the person who reads is not sitting here.

He stepped out of the light brought by the lampstone, walked through the darkness of the room, and came to the window.

The moonlight shone on his window sill, on his skirt, and on his long golden hair.It was almost summer, and this brightness brought some coolness, even a touch of coldness.

dong dong!

The person in front of the window turned his face sideways: "Come in."

"Your Highness." It was the butler who entered the door. The butler lowered his head and said respectfully, "Wiggins, the head of the Ainuma Temple, please see me."

Saenz stretched out his hand with his face turned sideways, and looked at the shadow of his fingers on the ground: "I don't see it."

The housekeeper replied: "He said he has something very important to tell you, but you are not in the mansion during the day and only come back late at night, so we must see you."

Saenz's gaze has shifted from the shadow to the palm of his hand: "Must see?"

The housekeeper said: "Yes, he claimed that if he didn't see you, he would sit at the door of the room until he saw you."

Saenz lowered his hands, a mocking look flashed past, and his tone was cold: "Tell me, why do some people have to seek death?"

The butler lowered his head and did not answer.

Saenz said again: "Then let him come."

"Yes." The butler paused, then said, "Would you like to drink first..."

"No need." Saenz interrupted him, then turned around, the moonlight outlined golden edges on his body, and the backlight made it difficult to see his expression, "It depends on his fate, will there be...that person so Lucky."

When he said this, Saenz seemed to think of something, with an imperceptible smile in his tone.

The butler responded and withdrew.

Saenz looked at the shadow on the ground again, which was his own shadow. Eighteen years ago, on such a moonlit night, he also stood in front of the window, waiting for the shadow of another person to appear here.

Only this time, there are no more golden birdcages, and no drunk sparrows singing beautifully.

After a while, someone knocked on the door and came in.

It was Wiggins, the chief minister of the temple who was still in formal attire in the middle of the night.

"Good night, Your Highness, I am very sorry to disturb you so late, but I really have something very important to tell you." He locked the door and walked a few steps inside, but found that the other party's reaction seemed a little strange.

"Your Highness?"

Saenz was still standing by the window.He stared at Wiggins standing over the lamp stone, his almost colorless eyes were covered with sharp coldness, and he suppressed some terrible restlessness in his heart.

Wiggins was blinded by the backlight.It was as if a sharp skate had been aimed at the target in the dark, but the target didn't know it.

Wiggins thought that Saenz was distracted, so he walked forward and said, "Your Highness, I...I 'looked' at Li Chen."

The coercion quickly invaded Wiggins, his steps became heavy, and it was difficult for him to straighten his back.However, he couldn't stop, his speech became faster and his steps became faster.

"I know who he is! Know his crimes! Know him..."

When Wiggins stepped on the edge of the moonlight, he finally fell due to coercion, and his knees suddenly knelt on the ground, making a muffled sound.He gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty.

"He's a necromancer!"

Wiggins wore the cloak lent by Kunta to block his breath; he went through the secret passage that Kunta pointed out and quietly entered Lichen's room.His talent is much higher than that of Li Chen. When Li Chen is asleep, he can easily "see" everything.

The secret of the black swan was exposed.

Wiggins was shocked at the slaughter of the black swan at the beginning, and the cruelty of the black swan, and then gradually became numb.He regards the bloody scene as an unimportant cutscene, and keeps speeding up the backtracking, trying his best to find the answer he wants.

He just wanted to know where this person "Li Chen" came from.

Then, he saw this person taking Clement to the Northland, saw this person appearing in the Samuel Forest with Clement and Sharo, and saw this person smashing a spar in the cave and taking him with him. The three people present left.

Going back in time, this person has become his former best friend and former companion.

He walked in the town where he first appeared and told people that his name was Regsella.

——He was the Regesela who "died" in the mine accident, and now Lichen, the black swan who made the whole of Letia turn pale.

Talent seems to be unable to sense the complex emotions of the silver-haired youth, and time is still going back.The young Rigsella appeared alone in the forest, and he was teleported from a house.

There was a strong wind in the house at that time, and papers full of characters and strange marks were flying around.Two bright formations encircled two people respectively, one was Regesela, and the other was wrapped in a cloak.The light gradually rose, and Wiggins heard Riggsella say:

"Farewell, Necromancer!"

Wiggins was taken aback.He tried in vain to take a closer look at the two of them, and was about to go back, when he suddenly saw the man in the cloak raised his hand and stretched it out, as if pointing at him!

The thin and slender fingertips slid lightly, but with just two clicks, Wiggins jumped out of the immersed spiritual world.

For the first time, backtracking was forced to stop by external force.

After Wiggins finished talking about what he saw, he didn't know whether he was used to it or it really happened. In short, he felt that the coercion on his body was a little easier.

He felt that what he said must have shaken Saenz.

Saenz bowed down and approached him who was kneeling on the ground, however, it was not to express intimacy and trust.

The blond-haired Sarnlich spoke the first words after seeing Wiggins.

"You, without my permission, 'saw' him?"

"...!"

An inexplicable chill rushed from the soles of Wiggins' feet to the top of his head, instantly chilling him, and clearing his ears and eyes for a moment.He realized that it was the contract in his heart that was being shaken. Saenz's tone was cold, but the contract he concluded clearly showed his anger.

The target finally saw the light of the knife on the tip of the ice blade.

Saenz asked again: "Did you tell Kunta about him?"

"No, no...Your Highness, I am doing this for you! Once his identity is known, you will definitely be implicated!" Wiggins raised his voice regardless of etiquette, as if wanting to wake up the lost people , "Rigsella didn't lose her memory at all when she was a child, but stayed with a necromancer! His cruelty, his sweet-mouthed sword, and his incomprehensible forbidden techniques are all because he is also a necromancer...! "

Saenz's right hand pinched Wiggins' neck instantly, with an upward force, causing Wiggins to lose his voice instantly.The silver-haired young man subconsciously tried his best to straighten his body, and his hands were covering Saenz's, as if trying to break them apart.

The power disparity is too great.

"Your Highness...he is tempting you...!" The silver-haired young man struggled to make a sound, frowning and staring at him, "A necromancer...tempting...pure white color! All, all deliberate..."

"'Temptation'? 'Deliberate deliberation'?" Saenz's tone was cold. At this moment, he seemed to decide not to hold back anymore, and the hostility in his eyes was clearly revealed. "Then have you ever seen... how he kept down?"

The tyranny spread in the chest, and the darkness grew, how familiar this feeling is.

"Did you ever see how he survived under the exact same circumstances?"

The suffocation made Wiggins dizzy, and his chaotic mind struggled to find the scene that Saenz said, and then finally stopped.

On the night of 18 years ago, the black-haired boy was strangled by the pure white color of the blond hair, and said something hoarsely but calmly.

"I can do it too!" Wiggins said, he only had a breathy voice, "I can... too! I can replace him, for you...!"

"You can not."

Saenz interrupted him, the strength in his hands was getting heavier and heavier, and no resistance was allowed.Even if Wiggins wanted to get close to him like Li Chen did back then, he couldn't do it.

Wiggins' face turned red, and he couldn't say a word anymore, only his eyes were fixed on Saenz's face.His lips moved slightly, as if he didn't know that he could no longer make a sound.

I can……

"You can't." Saenz repeated brutally, "You can't do it, you can't do it.

"You can't replace him.

"No one can replace him!"

The eyes of the silver-haired youth gradually became lax.

His hands dropped down.

After an unknown amount of time, Saenz threw him away.He hit the wall with a bang, but his body didn't respond.

After an unknown amount of time, Saenz suddenly strongly shaken another contract.

He counted silently: one, two, three...

A figure wrapped in a black cloak suddenly appeared in front of him. The cloak gradually fell, and the figure bowed his head and knelt down to him on one knee.

"The black swan, Li Chen, is called to see you."
