Throne Steps

Li Chen went to Saenz's mansion after dinner, but Saenz, the owner of the mansion, didn't come back until late at night.

At that time, Li Chen's unfinished half cup of tea was already slightly cold, and he was a little drowsy, but when the door of the study was opened, Li Chen immediately jumped up with his eyes wide open.

"Is it over so late?"

Li Chen looked at the pure white who hurried into the door, and saw at a glance that the other party hadn't changed his clothes since he came back, but had just taken off his cloak.

It seems that these big leaders are going to do big things...

Li Chen went up to meet him while thinking: "You take a rest first? I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare some refreshments."

"I have ordered." Saenz walked to a small cabinet, "Come here and help me pick things up."

Li Chen obediently went over and helped him take off his family badge, epaulettes, ribbons and other things, and helped him take off his white and gold-rimmed robe.

Saenz took an indoor coat hanging in the study and put it on, walked to the sofa and sat down: "I didn't expect it to be so late... Things are more complicated than I imagined, but the general direction is not the same. Surprisingly."

Li Chen understood.This incident happened to Lairier...or in other words, it wasn't just a matter of Fugeral's lineage that Lairier got a glimpse of this secret.Especially after Li Chen deliberately revealed some facts in front of the pure white patriarch, Lailier couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

The four Saenlichs discussed together, just thinking about it, Li Chen felt that it must be very bloody, and it must not be simpler than the princess's design.But Li Chen just said: "You look tired, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?"

"No, I want to confirm something." Saenz pointed to the sofa next to him, motioning for Li Chen to sit back, "Lai Lier was vague about her own affairs, and my father and elder brother will not explain further to me , but since she was in your possession before, you must know more—at least from the letter you sent me."

He seemed to be talking to Li Chen, but in fact it was more like he was talking to himself.This is actually sorting out his thoughts, and Li Chen knows that this means that Saenz is so exhausted that he needs to use this method to concentrate himself.

Li Chen asked back: "Do you want to..."

dong dong!

There was a knock on the study door, and it turned out that the butler had prepared refreshments.After he came in and placed all kinds of things on the tea table in front of the two of them, he backed out again.

Saenz drank a few sips of tea, ate another dessert, and glanced at Li Chen before the tea cup approached his lips again: "Frankly."

Li Chen also just took a few sips of the newly added hot tea, when he heard this, he put down his teacup and said, "Actually, Your Highness Lailier..."

"No, no, not from there." Saenz also put down his teacup, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief next to him, and leaned on the sofa, "Let me ask you a question." He turned his eyes away, and then looked at him again Li Chen stretched out his finger and scratched it.

"Wiggins is alive, isn't he?"

Saenz's question made Lichen realize that this pure white person might break the casserole.

But to what extent...

While thinking about it, Li Chen told him about the theft of Wiggins' body.Except for the part about the necromancer that he and Menzel guessed in the middle, up to the actual injury of Lailier and the conversation with him, Li Chen almost explained everything in detail.

"So, you came after Wiggins?"

"Yes."

"So, what do you guys think?" Saenz asked. "Let me be more specific. How do you and Menzel think about this?"

Call directly.

Saenz glanced at Li Chen's still hesitating appearance, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples: "Don't go around in circles anymore, my head hurts now. If you are worried about your life after I finish speaking, I can only ask you, Do you think you have really hidden it well for decades?"

of course not.Li Chen thought to himself that he was pinching Saenz's acceptance and leaking it to him little by little.There is a pure white color who can almost cover the sky with one hand to help him, there is no more reliable guarantee than this.

"I'm not going to go around in circles, I'm just wondering where to start." Li Chen sighed, stood up and walked to the armrest of Saenz's sofa, and stretched out his hands, "Is that okay?"

Saenz didn't even open his eyes: "What nonsense."

Li Chen smiled silently, pressed his warm fingers on Saenz's temples, and rubbed them with moderate strength.

Saenz sighed comfortably, not caring about handing over his Achilles heel to the other party.In fact, when Li Chen approached him, he didn't mention any reaction at all, even if Li Chen directly reached out to touch his temple, there would be no problem.

Because Saenz was leaning against the back of the sofa and didn't move, Li Chen could only lean his body from the armrest, rubbing and massaging him from one side to the other side.This movement is actually quite strenuous, and if you can't hold on for a few minutes, your back will hurt.But with Saenz stretched out like this, Li Chen could only choose this posture, he didn't dare to go to the front, otherwise he would just throw himself into his arms.

"Before I say these things, I also have a question to confirm with you." As if to cooperate with the movements in his hand, Li Chen's voice also lowered a lot, "The death of Wiggins two years ago, apart from Kunta is related to... is it also related to me?"

Saenz was silent for two seconds, and Li Chen also quietly continued to do what he was doing, without urging him.

"You reversed the order."

Saenz opened his eyes, just in time to meet Li Chen's eyes who were very close.

"It's because he has something to do with you, that's why he died, and that's why Kunta is finished."

Li Chen was taken aback, and the movements of his hands could not help but pause: "...Huh?"

Saenz didn't talk nonsense, and continued: "He 'saw' you."

Come on, after being swept away by Wiggins' "life searchlight", Li Chen knew that he couldn't hide anything.As for the cause of Wiggins' death, combined with Saenz's performance that day, Li Chen can also guess almost exactly.

"No wonder you took over Kunta's intelligence organization by the way." Li Chen continued to rub Saenz's temples, "Wiggins was instigated by them, do they still want to be your little partner?"

"I picked up Kunta, not because he separated Wiggins and me." Saenz grabbed Li Chen's right wrist, "It's because Wiggins may have told Kunta your origin, even before Wiggins died He insisted that he didn't say anything.

"Do you want to expose, Necromancer?"

Isn't it the most terrible thing to expose the identity of the necromancer in front of the embodiment of justice?

Maybe it is for others, but not necessarily for Li Chen.Wiggins paved the way for him before his death, which saved him a lot of effort, and even Li Chen wanted to go back to lay flowers in front of Wiggins' tomb.

Oh, no, it should be said to be "clothes tomb" now.

Because Saenz seemed too tired, Li Chen promised him that he would talk about his experience in detail later, and then condensed the experience into an outline and introduced it in a few words.

"So, do you suspect that Wiggins was taken away by that necromancer? That guy has something to do with dragons?" Saenz didn't make a fuss about Li Chen's experience on the spot, and he seemed really tired.

"In the case of Wiggins, we either got it all right, or we were all wrong. We won't know until we catch Wiggins." Li Chen had already sat back, "It's about Long, it must have something to do with him."

Li Chen took out a piece of paper and handed it to Saenz.

"This is me this morning... oh no, after I escorted Laryl out yesterday morning, it arrived around the same time as your letter."

Saenz only glanced at it: "Dragon language? What's the other line?"

"The non-common language is the first language I learned after I came here." Li Chen pointed to the word and said, "'Dragon Language Dictionary'."

He stuffed the paper into Saenz's hand: "I got this book, but I can't give it to you for the time being. I will ask someone to make a copy and send it to you."

Saenz was probably really a little distracted, and even smiled when he was stuffed with a piece of paper: "Why do I feel that you have suddenly become arrogant? You are a necromancer in front of a pure white color. .”

"You can understand that the heaviest burden on my body has been removed, and I feel relaxed and refreshed." Li Chen curled his lips, "And this time the necromancer actually lured us to rescue Lailier, it seems that the necromancer The relationship between the mage and Sarnlich is not so incompatible."

Saenz glanced at him: "You want to inquire about other people's secrets before you explain your own affairs clearly?"

"Can't you tell?"

"Not for the time being." Saenz replied, "There is also the matter of Wiggins and Lailier. You have to keep it a secret. If someone in the black swan leaks the news... I'm afraid you won't be able to keep them."

"I understand." Li Chen sighed, "Isn't Your Majesty seeing the black swan in person just to warn us?"

"Part of the reason is to warn you, and part of it may have a continuation later..."

Li Chen just wanted to ask what would be the continuation, but Saenz wiped his face and ended the topic: "Let's do this tonight, and continue tomorrow. You stay with me, and we will talk about it after the melting pot performance is over."

But the melting pot performance is almost three months away!Li Chen slandered for a while, and he didn't want to spend a long time with this highness: "You... still have time to go to the show?"

"What do you think I am, made of stone?" Saenz stood up, looking like he was really going to rest, "If I don't even get a moment of relaxation, I will collapse sooner or later."

When he said it, his tone was too relaxed, and Li Chen didn't know whether it was deliberately showing weakness or joking.

Li Chen got up and followed him out, and turned back to close the study door.When he turned around to go to the guest room, he found that Saenz was still standing there waiting for him.

"Your Highness?"

"I suddenly remembered one thing." Saenz said, "Did you know that Sean has designated Clement as the information for the black swan in the past two years?"

Sean sent the information to Akye?Li Chen shook his head, but he was not surprised.Akye already needed to deal with information, even if something came into his hands, he would not hide it alone.

Saenz seemed to have expected that Li Chen would not care, and said: "Then you know, she occasionally mixes private messages in it?"

"……Hey?"

"You really don't know..." Saenz showed a meaningful smile, "I guess she has taken a fancy to Clement."

"what?!"
